Beauty Faux Pas? We've All Made Them...

A work colleague admitted that she shaves her eyebrows into shape. This was met with shrieks of shock from the ladies in the office. But it got me thinking; how many of us commit a big beauty faux pas every day?

When it comes to eyebrows, I know I'm guilty of plucking above my eyebrows (BIG mistake) and I've certainly overplucked them a good few times before now. The aforementioned colleague shaves her eyebrows as it's 'what works for her' and there's nothing at all wrong with that, is there? She has light hair and doesn't suffer from quick regrowth. So what's wrong with it?

Much to my hairdressers annoyance, I have a habit of re-dyeing my whole head with colour, rather than just the roots. I've always thought it seemed a waste not to use the whole bottle of dye up. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

And don't get me started on make-up. I often go to bed without taking it all off, fill in my eyebrows with a dodgy old eyeliner and wear A LOT of blush - by my own admission.


Lipstick on the teeth? Yum. (Google Images)

So, come on....own up ladies. What do you do? Make me feel better.

  1. I'm a picker - I pick my nail varnish off, I pick spots, I pick my mascara off, I don't know what it is with me!

    I also regularly use facewipes and/or forget to take my make up off after a night out.

  4. @Lucy - I'm a picker too. My nail varnish doesn't last 5 mins!

    @Cupcakegloss - I wish I was so religious about removing make-up. It always seems such a hassle.

    @Shen - Naughty, naughty ; )
