When is there too much makeup on a girls face?

[LittleSally]

Too much makeup - usually refers to too much foundation, bronzer, blush, eyeshadow, eye pencil or mascara (caked on)... Lipstick also can make the whole look 'too much', but if there's a powerful lipstick color, then everything else should be subtle and have perfect skin. =)

Everything okay, but too much foundation:

Vampy, yet not too much:

Simply cute, not too much of anything:

The only thing that can overdo it is excessive eye shadow and bold lipstick... because these things are quite obviously different when its washed off... the right amount of make up should alter her natural appearence more than nessecary... here's A LITTLE FUN FACT : Did you know that the term cosmetics comes from the scientific term "cosmos" which is the process of creating order out of chaos? LOL !!!

If it's done right, looks dolled up.. she got a pass..

But if it's caked, like crusty the clown on Halloween.. then hell nah.

It's too much when it is anything other than eyeliner and lipstick and mascara.

I think it's too much when the makeup literally contorts their face into a different shape with different shading and "fake-made-real-by-makeup" shadows and cheekbones. I've seen those tutorial pictures where the women literally "change" the shape of their face (optical illusion). To me, that's too much. If women want to wear big bold eye makeup and dark red lipstick, I could care less really.

But once you're changing the whole outlook of your face...

its too much if she looks dead and sickly without it.
i think its too much if you put too much eye make up. heavy coating just makes me want to smack people.
