Women seem
to notice everything that is "wrong" with another woman. They can
easily spot any makeup disaster, ugly hairdo or tacky outfit. But what about
men? Will those who understand nothing of fashion or feminine things also
notice when a woman is ill-groomed?
The answer is yes. Most men can tell when a woman is trying too hard and not pulling something off. Here are 10 things they hate most:
The answer is yes. Most men can tell when a woman is trying too hard and not pulling something off. Here are 10 things they hate most:
1. Extreme hairstyles
A woman
with hair full of voluminous product and variously placed bobby pins walks into
the room. You think she will attract the attention of all the men at the party.
Will it attract attention? Yes, but I doubt if any man wants to get near that
rat's nest for any other reason than to see what is holding all of it up. Most
men prefer long, loose, soft and silky hair, not sticky hairspray and hard
gels.
2. Masked faces
Foundation
is used to hide imperfections, fine lines and blemishes. However, it should be
applied as a thin, even layer, and in a shade that blends right in to your
skin. Overuse can make it look like you came out with a layer of clay on your
face. When applied correctly, no one should be able to tell that you are hiding
imperfections on your face. Remember, less is always more.
3. Sticky eyelashes
You know
that effect when a woman uses too much mascara -- her eyelashes all stick
together and smear black with each blink. Nothing about that look is
attractive. Use good quality mascara that dries quickly and does not smudge.
After applying, use an eyelash brush to remove any excess off of your lashes.
Men love beautiful and expressive eyes, free of black clumps.
4. Too
much glitter
If you are
not a professional makeup artist, it is probably best to stick to the matte
shadows. They adhere better and are less likely to concentrate in the crease of
your eyelid.
5. Yellow
teeth and bad breath
Yellow
teeth and bad breath are not attractive to anyone. If you struggle in this
area, you should realize that the source of the problem is probably found in poor
hygiene. Or maybe you need to cut back on the coffee, black tea or red wine, or
lose the cigarettes. Whatever it is, address the source of your problem, and
try adding whitening toothpaste and dental floss to brighten your smile.
Lozenges or sugar-free breath sprays also help a lot.
6. Lack of
body care
Poorly
manicured nails, hairy legs and unshaven armpits are major turn-offs for men.
Poor personal hygiene cannot be hidden by makeup and nice clothes.
7. Dry or
oily skin
Yes, men
notice. The sight of a dried heel, oily face or peeling skin is a warning to
"back off." Don't expect to turn him on with cracked lips.
8.
Primping in public
Men are not interested in knowing your tricks to
become more attractive. Put on your makeup at home and don't fuss over it in
public.
9. Dark
lips
Lipstick
is a great tool to make your lips more beautiful and defined. But beware, if
misused, the lip liner pencil can become your enemy. When going out for dinner,
use a lipstick and liner close to the color of your lips.
Dark lipstick colors
have the awful tendency to smudge onto your teeth while you are talking or
eating -- not a pleasant sight for those who are watching. Also, remember that
dark lip liner paired with lighter lipstick leaves an aged appearance.
10.
Perfume overload
Excesses
are always a bad idea. Remember, the more expensive the perfume, the less you
should use. The cheaper the perfume, the less you should use. So try to put a
drop only in certain points such as the neck, behind the ears and wrists. A
little bit of a good perfume is plenty.
