Beauty Blunders and ways to over come them

Shaved Eyebrows

I know that you have seen some women that have done this before. Shaved the entire eyebrow, only to draw a line in its place, that smears and fades off by the end of the day. It takes months to re-grow the eye brow back out, if it will grow back at all. Keep your eyebrows natural looking. Visit a salon if you don't want to tweeze and shape them yourself. Note:It has been proven that fuller eye brows tend to make a woman look younger

Lipstick on teeth

I've been guilty of this one before , which makes my husband laugh hysterically! Always blot your lips after applying your lipstick, then check your teeth. Note:If you stick your finger in your mouth and pucker up, this will cause the excess lipstick to go on your finger and not on your teeth.

Facial Hair

A "five o'clock shadow" is very sexy on some men but not on a woman! If you have excess hair or even dark fuzz on your face you need to get rid of it! ( under certain lightenings it will show up and can make you look rather masculine). Note:There are excellent lasers now that will take this hair off, in most cases permanently

Tarantula eyelashes

Long eyelashes are very pretty , in fact they now have extentions that you can put on your existing eyelashes to make them longer, but over mascared eyelashes can look like creepy spider legs. Note:Too much mascara can even make your eyelashes fall out

Orange faces (self tanners) (foundation)

ok, you have seen this and could have been a victim of this yourself. self tanners have come a long way but using a self tanner that may be too dark for your skin and may leave you looking like a pumpkin. Always exfoliate your skin before you apply the self tanner and do a little "patch test" to see if this is the color that you want to achieve. Note:Professionally sprayed tans seems to be the preferred way to go now, stay out of chlorinated pools or hot tubs if you want the look to last and not streak.

Some ladies don't change their foundation year round but their tans have faded and the results aren't too pleasant. Note:always make sure that your foundation matches your skin shade, realizing that we tend to get lighter in the winter months.

Crop tops with a flabby or pot belly

If your stomach is soft or chubby don't try to show this off by wearing the crop top. It just isn't very appealing or sexy to show this area if it isn't toned.There are excellent abdominal exercises to help. Note:no one has to know that your tummy isn't fit but if you wear something that reveals this, you might not be happy with the attention this gets.

Fat back or Muffin tops

I'm not talking about the fat content you have. This is about the tight bra or undergarment fit that shows through your shirts or blouses. Note:you can be sexy at any size or shape with proper fitting undergarments and tastefully shaped clothing for your body style

Bikini Panty lines or no panties

ok, now when you wear a dress, you have to be aware that if you wear bikini panties underneath it is sure to show, expecially from the back . I don't have to mention much about the "no panty" rule with a dress..Do I ? Note:wear panty hose if needed with a dress or "no line" underware. If you insist on not wearing any underwear at all then you have to know that you might reveal more than you need too and might even change the way that people look at you forever with this one!

No high hills or boots with shorts or sweat pants

This is just a total no no. There is no way anyone at any age can pull this off! Note:no exceptions to the rule with this!

Too much perfume

A little perfume is pleasant sometimes rather sexy but too much, well it can cause people to have headaches and try to distant them selves from the smell. Sometimes you might not smell yourself but others can still smell you!
Note:use a light touch on the pressure points, wrist, neck, and behind your knees

Over sized breast implants

Perky breast are very attractive in our clothes . Some ladies want to tighten up their breast to look more attractive for different reasons and wind up going the total extreme with a much larger breast size. If you do get breast implants, try to get a size that goes with your body size and wear clothes that don't seem to beg or cry for attention. Note:wearing clothing that reveal very large breasts can make you appear "cheap" or "easy" even if you are not!

These are some things that we can manage about our appearance.

  • Sometimes it is better to be more natural
  • People can form an opinion about us by the clothes we wear
  • Be aware of what people see when they look at you
Even if you are not "cheap" or "easy",you can appear to be, by your style of clothes

    great article. I believe you left out the "Smeared and runny eyeliner by mid-day". You see a lot of women that don't believe in carrying a compact in their purse. :)

    I need a refresher course on this after gardening, typing like crazy and not taking enough "me" time :)

    Thank you very much for this article! I need to take a close look at my face under different lighting to check the hair issue... or rather, have someone else look! And especially thank you for mentioning "too much perfume" -- I have met so many women who make this mistake, and for someone like me who has severe allergies, it literally means I cannot be around them for any length of time. Oftentimes I would like to make friends but I can't because I would sneeze constantly during any conversation we might have.
    Terrific presentation of your ideas!

    I love the part on shaved eyebrows my Neurologist's nurse does that and I cannot help but to snicker to myself everytime she leaves the room. I also subscribed to you. I love your work. If you ever have any spare time check mine out please.
