I’m not going to pretend to be little miss perfect here. If you would line up my beauty blunders I’d go to beauty jail. However there are a few beauty horrors I would like to discuss with you.

hairy brush

Most of my friends know I absolutely hate this. Gross. If I spot a hairy brush the first thing I do is start plucking. Yes even a stranger’s brush gets this treatment (I can hear you thinking, yuck, but no worries I always carry disinfectant with me).

chipped nails

I understand. Not every working woman has the time to enjoy a daily manicure. But please. Take the polish off if there’s only a quarter left. It won’t take more than a minute. Tip: gel polish. Holds for two to three weeks and doesn’t chip. My grandmother used to say: “Your hands are your business cards.”

lipstick residue

Do it right or don’t bother. Lipstick asks for continuous touch-ups. First the base, a lip pencil filling and finally the stick. Doing this five times in one night might be a little much to ask. Even worse: the red wine mouth in combination with lipstick residue resulting in a wrinkly prune mouth. Not nice. Not flattering. A simple lip gloss is the solution.

Foundation gone bad

A foundation that’s too dark and leaves you with a white neck. It’s very difficult to get your colors right, I second that. That’s why you should accept the help of those perfectly powdered ladies in the cosmetic department. They know what they’re talking about.

Unibrow

Men can get away with a lost hair here and there, well maybe not. But for women it’s the totally unattractive. I have caught the occasional misplaced hair on a beautiful sunny day plenty of times so ladies let’s take a stand on this, never leave home without your tweezers.

pimples

Haha I’m kidding. We can’t help this. It’s just so annoying. Especially those two I spotted on my chin. Leave me alone now please.
