We all like to use the beauty tools available to humankind to look better: makeup, bronzers, fake lashes, perfumes, and anything in between. We'll use any and all products to accomplish looking good.
However, those very products that make us look good and can also make us look worse if we stray too far from our natural beauty by using too much or being careless. And according to a recent survey, some of these sins are huge turn-offs to the men in our lives.
It's important to not overdo any of these products when we're getting ready. I promise you: No woman looks good looking like a clown or having zombie-looking skin.

Here are the five beauty blunders men hate when, according to Allure magazine's recent survey. It's good information. And don't feel bad if you are guilty of committing them. We've all been there.
Too much perfume!
Even if it's the world's most expensive perfume, wearing too much of it is worse than not wearing any at all. Men are apparently repulsed by women who wear too much perfume.
Too much foundation
Foundations and any makeup meant to hide blemishes, are just that–corrective. They are not meant to bury them. If we put too much on, we'll look like the world's best decorated cakes! Don't fall into thinking you need to put a pound of foundation on.
Orange skin
Please use self-tanners and bronzers in moderation. If not, you'll risk looking like Mitt Romney on one of his Univision interviews or that crazy tanning mom. Put some on several days in advance so you can see how your skin reacts.
Prickly or dry skin
Dry and prickly skin were among the worse offenses men found on a woman in Allure's survey. Can you see why? Ashy skin is so not cute.
Raccoon Eyes
These days, eyes play a starring role in our daily look, but it's easy to misuse eye shadow and make us seem sickly, or worse, give us the dreaded raccoon eyes. Be careful! And make sure you always carry some makeup removing wipes to correct mistakes!
