Pan Stick Gone Wrong: Criminally Ugly Makeup

If you’re reading a blog about makeup, chances are you already know the basics of foundation. I bet we share the same rules:

1. Your face shouldn’t be a different color than your neck

2. You should not be able to spackle walls, putty tiles, or caulk a tub with your foundation

3. Unless you’re dressed in a sequined costume, standing to the left of stage and waiting for your cue, your foundation doesn’t need to stand up to stage lights

Not following makeup application rules can have hideous results. Say, for example, you rob a bank in Salem, Oregon and are caught on film with really bad makeup. So embarrassing! Because then not only would you be on the lam, but you’d be nationally identified as “that suspect with really bad makeup.”

Kind of makes you want to check your face in natural light, doesn’t it?
