Editors' Biggest Beauty Blunders: Learn From Our Mistakes

Whether you’re a beauty junkie or you only swear by a swipe of mascara and clear gloss, it’s virtually impossible that you’ve avoided any kind of beauty blunder in your lifetime. Like any skill, hair and makeup takes time, patience and a load of learning from mistakes. We’ve all had bad hair days and worse makeup days, yet however much we learn from these embarrassing little moments, they continue to creep up on us.

In an effort to swear off bad beauty juju, we figured learning from the mistakes of others may benefit our own daily beauty routines. We asked around our office for everyone’s most horrifying moments, and the answers were hysterical, enlightening and totally relatable. Raise your hand (metaphorically, of course) if you ever got a little overzealous with a tweezer, or you thought cutting your own bangs was a great idea. Whether you’re on the same level with these stories or you’ve never even imagined partaking in such ridiculous rituals (like blue lipstick, even if it was the 90s), we hope you can save yourself and learn from our mistakes.

What are some of your most embarrassing beauty moments? Tell us in the comment section below (anonymously, if you’d prefer)!
