I remember orange foundation, defined streaks from improper blending, wiggly eyeliner with a gap between my liner and my lashes and lipstick on my teeth! Haha I had no idea what I was doing! Does anybody else have any horror stories from when they were young?

I remember an old friend putting cheap orange foundation on me and saying I looked gorgeous when deep down I knew it looked disgusting as it did on her.

Ashy foundation...could've been a corpse extra for a horror movie. Balanced out with some horrible blush, and icy blue eyeshadow on my lids. I looked a hot spankin' mess. My mom fixed it by taking me to a department store to check out Prescriptives.

Oh wow, I remember when dark colored lip liner with a light pink lip was in. Not to mention those barrel curl bangs that stuck out like a mile from your forehead!

My signature look was dark chocolate lip liner outlining my lips with a bit of pink in the center. If I wanted a different look sparkly blue eyeshadow was the way to go. Lol (:

Shelley I'm with you on that ashy foundation. Back when I first started wearing makeup wet n wild was the cheapest and the worst option. Thank God they have stepped up their game. My mom took me to a Fashion Fair counter to have me matched for foundation.

Yeah my foundation was either too orange or too yellow and I think it was from wet and wild too. lol who would have thought that wet n wild would still be around today with pretty decent cosmetics nowadays.
