I thought this would be a fun topic 😄
Share a story about a beauty fail (makeup, hair and so on), like you used a bad mascara and ended up with panda eyes in a wedding.
Let's learn from each other's mistakes :-D

The first time I tried to wear make up for school I was 12 years old and I took my mom's bronzer-blush and used it as a foundation XD fortunately my mom realized when we arrived to school and cleaned it before I entered. (Btw everyone saw me when she was cleaning me :P)

When I was younger. I use to do a very dark smokey eye with a sponge applicators eyeshadows come with and it use to be my everyday look lol.

When I was around 9 or 10, I was obsessed with blush, wore too much of it, every day. I think I just liked the application part best, I thought I was coooool. Lol. Then between 4th & 5th grade, I wore heavyyyy eye liner and slept in it. Ewww, I know.

I used to do bright ass colours and never blended, I had horrible pencil brows and my contour was always too low and orange. I have always had a hard time matching my face but now I just buff away until I'm satisfied. I was also the walking version of cake face.

Lauren, I was a cake face too!
I think I was around 13 and my acne was bad. I would use thick layers of foundation and powder that was waaay too orange. I also thought it was okay to apply more layers throughout the day lol. It was such a mess. I'll try to find a good picture of it 😂😝

This is a great thread! @liz that's hilarious. Luckily I didn't have many bad makeup incidents, my dad took me to the counters at Nordstrom when I started to get into makeup & I'd get my makeup done there and they'd teach me then he'd get me the products. He made sure if I was going to wear makeup I'd wear it right. howeverr I was a tan a holic and had really light blonde hair highlighted and was way too tan and looking back it definitely makes me cringe Idk what I was thinking

Lol great thread! these are so embarrassing but luckily you can look back&&laugh. I didn't have makeup incidents either I was the eyeliner, mascara, blush kind of gal in high school (due to clearer skin then than now) I do remember dyeing my hair certain "ways" or colors that now I wouldn't even consider lol!

Putting a lid color down before transition / crease!

May 23, 2015

Julie F.

I never really understood the importance of transition color! So I'd put a lid color down and then try to get a smokey eye by putting a darker color in the crease with no transition shade!

May 23, 2015

Julie F.

Lol so basically I learned how much easier it was to lay a transition shade first

I bought a pencil for my brows, and had my friend do my brows with the pencil, found out later it was actually a kohl eyeliner pencil put back with the brow pencils in the store...let's just say my eyebrows looked veryyyy dark and very terrible that day 😂
