We've all been there. That awkward 'ground swallow you up' moment when beauty goes wrong, from over-tweezing your eyebrows to making the rash decision to cut your hair super short (it was such a GREAT idea until your beautiful locks fell to the floor). Yes, we wanted to cover our heads with a paper bag at the time - but it's all in the past. That's until a little reminder in the form of photographic evidence rears its (ugly) head.
Here are 13 beauty mishaps most women have faced...
1. Blow drying your hair, then walking outside to discover torrential rain
2. Painting your nails, then immediately smudging them
3. Over-tweezing your eyebrows. Magnifying mirror, we are whole-heartedly blaming you
4. Streaky fake tan/a spray tan going horribly wrong. Note to self, don't count mississippily
5. Applying mascara, then sneezing and smudging it
5. Getting your hair stuck in your lipgloss
7. Not realising you have lipstick on your teeth
8. Burning your head (or any part of your face) with your curlers or straighteners
9. That time you thought cutting all your hair off was a good idea
11. Applying your blusher in a rush, then stepping out into daylight to discover you have WAY overdone it
12. Applying too much powder = cake face
13. And not forgetting that time your straighteners broke, so you decided to iron your hair
