What make-up styles do you think look awful?

I've seen a couple of examples recently of very tanned women wearing pale lipstick.
Example
I think it's even worse if you have naturally dark pink lips and mouth. Don't get me wrong it can look lovely on some women, especially if you're going for that sixties look, but you need to work with your natural(or fake) colouring! Seriously, lipstick is supposed to make us look alluring, not dead!
Anyone else have any make-up trends they can't stand?

Scouse brows. Urgh.

There's lovely, defined brows, and then there's <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&biw=1016&bih=555&tbm=isch&tbnid=flTX72Ol6e0i8M:&imgrefurl=lifeaccordingtolea.wordpress.com/tag/celebrity-eyebrows/&docid=ZFGnd-0AU7x8mM&imgurl=lifeaccordingtolea.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/001f0071-0000-0000-0000-000000000000_6c3b90e8-2082-46d0-9a54-a97da0c47861_20111129175603_article-2067421-0efa232600000578-482_306x423.jpg&w=400&h=301&ei=wCkyUPjTF6KX1AWSnoCgDg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=183&vpy=144&dur=1039&hovh=108&hovw=144&tx=129&ty=104&sig=114634470600593237694&page=1&tbnh=108&tbnw=144&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:73" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this

Very fake false eyelashes.
French manicures on long squaretipped nails.

Agree with all those! With the really false lashes, I hate it when eyeshadow has settled on them so they look powdery and glittery rather than black!

Beige lips - I just don't get it!

Overly shiny white/silver eyeshadow under the eyebrow.. eugh

Fake nails. ESP if leopard print/palm tree/diamonte specials.

QueenieLovesEels · 20/08/2012 14:09

Fake tan too actually.

Bronzer.

Fluorescent pink lipstick-that's a bit grim.

Big sausage fingers with nails painted in corals and pinky plums. No. Just nooooooo.... This one makes me heave and twitch.
