20 Beauty Mistakes These Reality TV Stars Keep Repeating

When it comes to reality television stars, there is often a bit of criticism as to whether or not they can be considered true celebrities. Yet, it's important to note that not all reality stars can be placed in the same category. From ordinary people that have become famous by competing on reality television shows to celebrities that have become television personalities on reality television, it seems like reality TV has become the new normal in television viewing.

While appearances on reality television have brought on a great deal of fame and fortune, it has also brought on quite a lot of criticism. Reality stars are often followed around by cameras at every turn and there have been a number of missteps in their beauty routine that have been well documented. Some of these beauty mistakes can be attributed to the pressures that can come from being in the spotlight and having easy access to beauty mods. Yet, there are other beauty mistakes that can easily be made by anyone else that has no affiliation with reality television. Check out our list of the 20 beauty mistakes these reality stars keep repeating and see if there might be some repeat offenders in the real world as well.

20 Deena Cortese's Wrong Foundation Color

When Deena Cortese was added to the cast of the MTV reality series, Jersey Shore, she was a new addition from the original cast. After Angelina left the series, there was a spot that needed to be filled and Deena seemed like a great addition to complete the cast. Deena returned when Jersey Shore Family Vacation returned to reality television, but it seemed like she was repeating the same beauty mistakes from the original series.

The original Jersey Shore series seemed to revolve around the characters being obsessed with tanning, but it seems like some of the other cast mates had ultimately changed their over-bronzed look over the years.

Yet, Deena Cortese was seen filming in 2018 for the vacation series and it was instantly apparent that she was another casualty to choosing the wrong foundation color.

19 Teresa Giudice Needs To Change It Up

When Teresa Giudice was first introduced as a cast member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it wasn't just her over-the-top personality that seemed to make headlines. She was often criticized for her dated look when it came to her hairstyle. The general rule of thumb for facial proportions usually consists of an equal length from the bottom of the mouth to the chin, which is supposed to equal the space from the top of the eyebrows to the front hairline. In the case of Giudice, she's been harshly criticized for the shortness in her forehead, but she hasn't helped the criticism by continuing to sport the same down-the-middle hairstyle.

18 Aubrey O'Day Puts On Way Too Much 

When Aubrey O'Day was first introduced to the world as a reality singing competition contestant, she was viewed as the girl-next-door beauty that really added to the Danity Kane group. Yet, her look has evolved extremely over the years and it seems like she's constantly making the same mistake of being a little too heavy-handed with her contouring application. Since she's appeared on a number of other reality shows, the world has continuously seen her with this same type of look and she's often sporting it on the red carpet as well.

17 Khloe Kardashian Didn't Like How She Looked

Keeping Up with the Kardashians is one of the most popular reality television series and the members of the Kardashian/Jenner clan have become some of the biggest celebrities in the world. Yet, the fame and fortune weren't the only things that were gained by their celebrity status. It seems like the public and the media have spent quite a bit of time criticizing the family for their changing looks but Khloe Kardashian once spoke out about her experience with plastic surgery during an interview on the TV series, Botched. She talked about having fillers put into her face and stated,

"It did not work for me. I looked crazy, and I still think the effects are in there. I went to have it all dissolved like three times."

Overdone fillers is actually quite common in the world of reality stars and there's no doubt that future stories will emerge.

16 Heidi Montag Made Many Beauty Mistakes

Beauty mods aren't exactly an uncommon thing in the world of the rich and famous but there are a number of reality stars that have taken their transformations to a level that is simply medically dangerous. In the case of Heidi Montag, the public couldn't get over the incredible transformation she made since she was seen as the girl-next-door beauty on The Hills. In an interview with Paper magazine, Montag spoke out about a harrowing ordeal she went through in 2009. She had an astounding ten procedures done within a 24-hour period and there was even a moment when she had a deadly experience on the operating table. This seems to be a common beauty mistake for those trying to do so much in such a short amount of time.

15 Cardi B Really Wanted To Stand Out

There was once a time when having a big derriere wasn't exactly the stylish trend but things have certainly changed over the years. From J. Lo's infamous backside to the countless other stars that have suddenly emerged with a brand new derriere with a sizeable difference from previous photos, the new trend is the bigger the better. Yet, there are some that have spoken out about the dangers of this beauty enhancement. Cardi B was once just another music hopeful on the reality series, Love & Hip Hop, but she has since grown to become a huge figure in the music industry. She spoke out with GQ Magazine about when a woman injected her buttocks with filler. She stated, "It was the craziest pain ever. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I felt a little dizzy. And it leaks for, like, five days."

14 Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi Wanted The Pouty Look

For women in Hollywood that haven't been blessed with a full and pouty top lip, it seems like an abundance of them have turned to lip fillers to try and enhance their pout. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi did just that when she took to Instagram in 2015 and showed off her new pouty look. A portion of the caption read, "I love my 'natural beauty,' but being able to enhance my lips to make me feel better about myself is life." There have been some that have been able to tastefully enhance their natural look but there have also been a string of other reality stars that have seemed to take it a bit too far.

13 Pauly D Spends Lots Of Time And Energy

When the very first episode of Jersey Shore appeared on MTV in 2009, the members of the cast were relatively unknown. Yet, Pauly D went into the show as a budding new DJ that was building his career on the show. He became one of the most beloved cast members and the series really seemed to boost his DJ career. Upon the completion of the reality series, DJ Pauly D garnered a coveted position as a DJ with a residency in Las Vegas. His most recent accomplishment came in 2018 when he was pinned down for a summer residency at the hugely popular, Drai's Beachclub. Yet, through all of his successes and achievements, he still maintains the same exact blowout hairstyle as he had back in 2009.

12 Kim Zolciak Has A Full Mane

A woman's hair is often thought of as her crown and glory but not everyone is blessed with a full and luxurious head of locks. In an effort to make hair look far more glamorous, a number of reality stars have changed up their looks with a variety of different wigs. Kim Zolciak is a well-known reality star that first made her debut in The Real Housewives of Atlanta but has also appeared in other shows like Dancing with the Stars and Don't Be Tardy For the Wedding. During one episode of Don't Be Tardy For the Wedding, Zolciak bravely took off her wig and many people believed that she looked far better without it.

11 Melissa Gorga Pinched It

There are a number of different celebrities that have been accused of altering their looks through plastic surgery, with a number of the critiques surrounding their nose. While there are some reality stars like Ashlee Simpson that have been quite open about having a nose job, not everyone is willing to fess up about what they've had done to their face. Yet, there is another critique that constantly gets brought up about these "apparent" nose mods and that's the fact that so many of them have created quite a pinched look that isn't always that flattering.

10 Adrienne Maloof Is Too Golden 

When Adrienne Maloof was first introduced to the world as a cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she was seen as a savvy businesswoman and the wife of a prominent surgeon. Yet, that didn't stop people from criticizing her for getting a little heavy-handed with her usage of spray tan. During an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump even made a comment about how Maloof's spray tan actually left a stain on one of her white chairs. Maloof isn't the only reality star that has made a major beauty mistake by over-tanning since the entire cast of Jersey Shore can be accused of the same thing.

9 Brandi Glanville Is Always Out And About

Brandi Glanville was a hugely popular cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills due to the incredible controversy she stirred up during her time on the show. Yet, it wasn't just the arguments between her and the other women that made her an interesting reality star since she often had some party nights that created some jaw-dropping moments. She continued her partying habits after her conclusion of the series and her wild nights made headlines for her numerous wardrobe malfunctions. Yet, she's not the only reality star that has been photographed during their wardrobe malfunctions, including Joanna Krupa from the Miami franchise which was photographed wearing a see-through dress.

8 Taylor Armstrong Went Too Far

When Taylor Armstrong was first introduced to the world as a cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, her storyline revolved around her extravagant lifestyle. This included everything from lavish children's birthday parties to regular beauty mod treatments. Yet, there are some that have criticized her overuse and she's not the only one that has been accused of having a face that doesn't move when trying to show emotion. While it may help with wrinkles, too many beauty mods is definitely seen as a beauty mistake for some reality stars.

7 Lisa Rinna Needs To Switch It Up

Lisa Rinna is thought of as a celebrated actress and television personality, which made some people wonder why she would want to join the cast of a reality series. Yet, she's proven that she can hold her own on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she's brought quite a bit to the storyline of the show. Yet, that doesn't mean that she hasn't had a fair share of criticism regarding her look. Although there have been a handful of times when she's changed up her signature hairstyle, she generally keeps it in the same style she's had it in for almost 20 years.

6 Farrah Abraham Goes Overboard

Farrah Abraham was first introduced to the world as a reality star on MTV due to her young age and her pregnancy. When she was featured on Teen Mom, there was an incredible amount of criticism regarding her behavior towards her situation and the relationship with her parents. Yet, the real criticism came when she embarked on a completely different career path in the adult film industry. Over the years, she's appeared in a number of other reality shows and her look has transformed greatly with each new appearance. While there are some that think that she's greatly improved her looks, there are others that can't help but criticize her overuse of foundation and powder that make her skin tone appear far lighter than natural.

5 Kim Kardashian's Hair Needs A Break

Kim Kardashian isn't the only celebrity that has been photographed with significant hair loss or damaged hair due to extensions. This is actually a common problem for women that have consistently used weaves and other hair extensions in order to change up their look or add fullness to their hair. With Kim Kardashian creating an empire partly due to her incredible beauty, it's interesting that she would make the mistake of letting her damaged hair be photographed for all of the world to see.

4 NeNe Leakes Needs To Stay True To Herself

NeNe Leakes is thought of as one of the most successful cast members that ever came from the Real Housewives franchise since she's gone on to become known as an actress and television personality. While her behavior on The Real Housewives of Atlanta has definitely come with some criticism, it was her Marchesa dress that she wore for the reunion special in 2018 that really made headlines. Some people were angered that she would wear Marchesa since that is the line that is associated with Harvey Weinstein's ex-wife but it was the flesh-toned accents that didn't accurately portray her skin tone that people seemed to be most bothered by in her overall look.

3 Miley Cyrus Sporting The Disheveled Look 

When Miley Cyrus first started out as an actress and singer, people couldn't help but think of her as the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus. Yet, she eventually started to make a name for herself outside of being just the daughter of a country singer. As she began to evolve in front of the public eye, there was a huge amount of criticism that came her way. People couldn't help but comment on her scantily-clad ensembles and ultra-provocative stage performances.

When she appeared on the reality show, The Voice, she had just started to change her look to show a classier side.

Yet, the 2018 Met Gala definitely showed that she was still willing to show off a great deal of skin and people weren't too thrilled at the disheveled look that she had often sported during her wilder days.

2 Christina Aguilera Goes Too Dark 

When Christina Aguilera first emerged as a pop star, she was seen as a fresh-faced beauty with an incredible talent as a vocalist. Yet, her look changed drastically over the years and she has come under fire repeatedly for her overuse of dark makeup tones. The general rule of thumb when it comes to wearing dark makeup is to solely focus on one area of the face. When choosing a dark lip color, the rest of the face should be a bit subdued. Yet, that definitely hasn't been the case for Christina Aguilera over the years. During her time on the reality television series, The Voice, she often chose to pair her signature red lips with a dark and smoky eye.

1 Nicole Scherzinger Is Too Shiny 

When Nicole Scherzinger was first introduced to the world as a member of The Pussycat Dolls, she was seen as incredibly beautiful and talented. She eventually branched out to be seen as far more of a vocalist and a celebrated television personality as a judge on The X-Factor. While she's proven that she has a remarkable voice and she's still as beautiful as ever, there has been some criticism regarding her use of highlighter makeup.

While contouring used to be the newest thing in makeup application, highlighting has become the newest way to show off that youthful glow.

Yet, there are some reality stars that are accused of going a bit too far with their highlighter since they appear far too shiny and a bit like the Tin Man.
