The thing in make-up I will (propably, although never say never) never try are fake eyelashes! I just can't think of going near my eyes with some kind of glue.
And what I just can't use are concealers: I have some amazing ones like erase paste from benefit, several from nyx, green, yellow, skin-tone, but I just think they're a waste of time and don't make any difference, I just apply foundation or bb cream and that's it. And yes I have pimples and some fine lines, so I should use them, but I just can't get myself into the routine...
What are your "I will never..." and "I just can't use..."??? I hope I'm not the only one!!??

Just for fun: one thing I will never try and one thing I just can't use in make-up

I never consider anything glittery, I know other people can make it work but I would just look ridiculous in anything sparkly!
As for something I can't use... Well i'm certainly not the only one but I have a fold of skin over my inner eye corner (different from the eyelid fold some people have) Most people don't notice it unless you mention it (In fact I didn't notice it myself until I studied make-up) but what it means is I can't use any make-up on my inner eye such as eyeshadow or shimmer/highlighter etc. If I try it just looks like I have put the product on my nose! The funny thing is that because it's natural for me and I was born with it, I know I would look really weird without it! If I pinch the skin over my nose to see what it would look like without, it makes my eyes look too close together. I believe Amanda Bynes had the same feature and had them surgically removed (I personally think she looked better before the surgery) so I'll just deal with it and reassure myself I'm saving a little bit of eyeshadow each time I do my make-up!

Oh what a cool topic!
Okay, one thing I will never try: Like others have said, never say never but...face cream that has placenta in it. I cannot get my head around it. I know that placenta is meant to be packed full of nutrients but ew, I just can't. The face creams I've seen don't use human placenta obviously but even the thought of sheep placenta in a face cream gives me the heebys! Sorry, I know that this isn't technically make up :)
One thing I just can't use: Coloured eyeshadows- I can sometimes get away with doing purples but anything else and I look like I stepped out of an 80's photo shoot. Its horrendous! I am so jealous of people who can make coloured eyeshadows look great and pretty much natural with a slight edge but I am just not one of those people.

I hope I don't get thrown out of BR For stating this, but one thing I doubt I will ever use is an eyelash curler.
I know it's on the top list of must haves, but I just can't get my head around a clampy bit of machinery that close to my eye & I'm happy with the effects mascara alone has.
The one makeup item I just can't make work is lip liner. I totally understand the concept, but I find my lippy looks better on me without it.

Not makeup but the one thing I'd never try is a brazilian. Just the thought of all that pain down there is horrifying. Even though I would like the end result I just can't bring myself to do it.
And for the thing I can't use it would be eyeliner on the tip lid. I can apply it fine on the bottom but have never been able to do the top and make it look normal.

I actually have 2 things I won't do for makeup (yes I would do anything, but I won't do that!!) and that is eyelash curlers, they scare the living daylights out of me, but I'm blessed with thick with a natural curve lashes so luckily I don't need to try them. And eyeline flicks, I have tried gawd love I have, but the hooded nature of my eyelids sees them just end up a mess, no matter how I try, so I stick to drawing lines around my almond shaped eyes to emphasis their shape instead =)
I just can't use highlighter in make-up
I dont know if it's just me being heavy handed or not a good blender, but I end up looking like a shinny hot mess, so I just stay away hahah
The one thing I wont try is the cream contouring. I watch the videos and am amazed & how great it can look, but I just know that I will look like an overdone monkey so I know enough not to try - in fact in just normal poweder contouring I struggle with...

What a neat idea for a thread :)/
I will never use fake eyelashes. I have had them professionally done once but the thought of trying to do it myself scares me a bit.
I cant for the life of me do winged eyeliner im sure i've seen every tutorial ever made it just doesnt look right on me &
White eyeliner in the waterliner ! I use a highlighter in the corner of my eyes but for the life of me whenever I try and put white line on the water line I look ridiculous.

I will never try out there lip colours like blue, green etc...I can hardly pull off an ordinary bold lip let alone something really out there. And I too just can't get the winged eyeliner down pat...although I have only atempted twice because I hate the thought of ruining the eyeshadow I have just put on!
I think I would try anything! I'm not quite sure why but I really can't get into using hand creams. Maybe I just haven't found the right one but I'm always using my hands so don't have time to have them all wet. Haha. Ridiculous excuse, I know. And I'm just not quite sure what they're supposed to achieve.
I'm the same as you Susila! For some reason I just can't make concealers work for me, they don't cover what I want them too and just seem to make the area cake up so I don't wear them on a daily basis
One thing I will never do is try contacts (even thinking about touching my eyes makes me squirm!) and also agree with the person who mentioned placenta creams - yuck!
I have three things I currently struggle with but would love to perfect;
Fake tan - mine always comes out slightly streaky
Wingled liner - my eyes are very creased/hooded right where the wing is supposed to go therefore a straight line is impossible :(
Falsies! Love the effect they give but for the life of me I can't get them on perfectly even and close to the lash line

Awesome thread! ..
I will NEVER use fake eye lashes, gluing something that close to my eyes seriously freaks me the sh*t out haha. I love how they look on other people though. And one thing I just can't use is dry shampoo . I know! I know! I'm crazy but I feel so gross and dirty if I don't wash my hair with water and shampoo. :)
Loving reading everyone elses comments hehe :)

Im not sure if there is anything i blatantly just wont try, i am always open to new products. I have to agree on the 3D nail art, i LOOOOVVE doing my nails or getting them done but i just dont think i could cope with them feeling heavy and catching on things.
I love wearing false lashes it does take a while to get the hang of it but Shaaanxo has a great tutorial for applying them and the xobeautyshop lashes are really good, the band is nice and thin which makes them easier to apply and they dont feel heavy at all.
Im not sure i would ever try eyebrow threading, i just dont get how it works and would be far to worried about half of my eyelash coming away!!

Such a fun post!
Took me awhile to think one up because I'm normally a give it a go sorta girl, but I'll never try stilletto nails! I hate hate hate the look of them. With my job I'd never be allowed them anyway as I'm now doomed to a lifetime (or as long as my career is!) of short, natural nails haha.
One think I just can't seem to use is liquid/gel eyeliner! I've only tried an Australis liquid liner and I'm hopeless at it, and I had a Maybelline gel liner in a pot but again just terrible at it. I'd love to be able to perfect a nice smooth lined lid with a wing, I love the look of winged liner. I'll just have to practise I guess and try some more products!

Oooh Kia ! You should try Lime Crime. The reds and pink are great. The Retrofuturist and Centrifuchsia are great.
