my worst makeup blunder was bright pink e/s practically up to my brows when I was little

Answer:
When I first started experimenting with makeup around age 14, I once wore electric blue eyeshadow on my entire lid with hot pink eyeshadow as "highlighter" to my brow.
Some girl from school saw me, pointed and laughed, and I was ridiculed by everyone the next day as CLOWNFACE! Arghhh!

Answer:

Answer:
A tidemark that lasted all the way through high school. I was voted 'the girl most likely to be unrecognisable without her makeup on'
Fortunately I have since mastered the intricacies of foundation matching and blending and have adopted the mantra 'less is more'....

Answer:
Black liquid eyeliner on my inner rims when I was a trainee Goth in highschool. I remember I thought it looked awesome, but OMG.... so ouchy!!
It lasted all of 10 minutes, by which time my eyes were watering so much that I had muddy tears streaming down my face. So much that I actually ended up staining my nude coloured bra with charcoal streaks.
My eyes were red and swollen for days, and my mother still laughs about it 17 years later!

Answer:
Mask like foundation. And worse still, was worried on school sports afternoons at the local pool that my carefully constructed "face" would come off in the water, so I tried putting vaseline all over my face on top of my foundation - my reasoning was that it would provide a water proof seal for the foundation - instead I just looked like a very greasy oily ghost in my white white foundation.

Aww that's so cute! I actually used to put makeup on my dad! My older sister would go out with her friends and I'd be sad at home because I was too young to hang out with them, so Dad would be my friend and he'd let me give him makeovers! Mum wouldn't have a bar of it though... lucky Dad was there then! it was really sweet of him

Answer:
dyed my hair black (im blonde naturally) when going through and emo phase, plenty of black eye makeup and cheap ugly plastic wrist junk to go with it. I shudder when i see photos of myself.

Oohh and this is hair too, but one day in grade 8 i was going to the movies with friends and the boy i had a crush on
sooooo i thought itd be cool to go blonde for the day. (im a very proud brunette)
Sooooo i bought Sun In and put it in, and waited for me to suddenly be blonde. and yah i thought itd just be like a spray on colour, so i kept spraying more and more in waiting for it to go blonde, and used just about the whole bottle
then i went outside to play and for my hair to dry in the sun
Soooo i went all blonde and that was GREAT! and im mean.....really really blonde
then the next day when i went to wash it out, NONE came out. i thought maybe itd be like 4 washes, but it stil lwouldnt come out, so i rang the number on the bottle, to explain to me what 'bleach' and 'permanent' hair colour actually meant NOOOO
soooo i had unknowingly bleached my whole hair
Im also a swimmer, and liked long hair, so didnt cut it out, left it alllll long to grow out, and it got this green tinge from the chlorine.
So i had this like half brown, half yellow/orange/green hair for about a year
yuck

Answer:
Buying one of those Deluxe Australis colour kits when i was 14 and using the lipstick that came with.
Shiny brown lipstick.
I think the majority of my fashion choices were more questionable than the makeup i wore throughout highschool.
