Solution: If you have a sparkly personality and must express it through your makeup, a more grown-up option would be to ditch shadows that contain large flecks of in-your-face glitter for those with very, very finely milled luminescence or shimmer (like L'Oreal HiP Shocking Shadow Pigments, $12). And always apply with a restrained hand. (See mistake No. 9 for how-to.)

When you're having fun with makeup, it can be tempting to over do it. Thanks for the incentive not to!

Loved this article--I have been guilty of some of these "felonies" in the past and see them on women all the time. Another way to combat overplucked eyebrows is to use "Divaderme Brow Extender" in a small tube (the best price is available in the "TIme for Me" catalog). It is a mixture of clay and a plethora of tiny fibers which adhere to your own brows and enhance them. A tube lasts a long time.

Over plucking eyebrows and too dark lips were my beauty mishaps.

Overbronzing & excessive foundation are two major issues.

Really Great Article-the best are The Bronzer-some woman look like they put mud on the face in order to look like they came back from the Caribbean Islands-ugh!!! The best was the makeup overload-I have especially seen this on older woman(maybe due to poor eyesight or not enough lighting in the house) The golden rule as we age is less is more.

Oh the beautyblender! It seems like it would be worth the investment.

Great article, I know a few people who don't blend well enough but I don't know how to tell them. I think I'm going to pass this article along.
