Funniest beauty stories

LOL thank you so much for the giggles everyone.
My story is one of the reasons I never bother with makeup for everyday usage as I had such a fright with my first try I never wanted a repeat.

My nana gave me a heap of makeup she had bought for me to use once i arrived at my teen years. So I asked mum how this `liquid stuff` in a bottle was used (foundation) she told me that it formed a base for the other stuff to be applied to and evened out skin tone. So I took the bottle into the bathroom and put a heap on, then put the eyeshadow, lippie, powder and blush on as well. when I walked out of my bathroom, my little brother screamed in terror and ran to my mum, and when I walked in to mums room to ask what was wrong she cracked up laughing. My Nana later told me she had picked up the makeup from a second hand shop, but I didn`t know foundation was supposed to match your own skin tone. So I had a bright orange tinged face, fireengine red lippie, Blue eyeshadow and very odd looking cheeks. (they were all the colours I had been given and I thought my nana knew what she was doing when she purchased them for me). Well needless to say that whole lot went into the bin and I never trust any makeup my nana gives me at all. I was just so lucky I didn`t go to school like that as if my bro hadnt of screamed I would have walked out the door to catch the bus. LOL.

Another story I have from my Beauty therapy days is one of a girl I used to work with. She used to have these `moodswings` and when she was in a bad mood or fighting with her current man she would – when an unsuspecting guy came in (we were a unisex salon) for a chest wax she would go all `madame lash` and wax over the poor bugger`s nipples. Oh the swear words that used to come out of that cubicle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But even that story pales in comparison to the `back, sack and crack wax` story that I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT divulge on this website because I would get into serious trouble! lol 😉

Back in the early 90`s I was using my friends tanning studio, and as I am a beauty therapist she thought I knew how to use the confounded thing. So anyway, I went for about 6 weeks and she stopped me on the way out one day and started laughing so hard I thought she would pee her pants. I had no idea that you had to turn on the bottom bulbs as well as the top ones so I had a great tan from the front while at the rear I was still pale!!!!!!!! Needless to say we only used the bottom bulbs for about 2 weeks after that to try to even me up a bit.

I have had such a giggle I thought I`d share one of my moments too…

When I was in my teens I used to colour my own hair, I`d always go blonde and then add outrageous colours, I have been pink, red, blue, sometimes block colour sometimes streaks, I got to a point where I had had enough of having outrageous hair, and decided to go back to brown from platinum blonde, so I got a home colour kit & went to work, 30min later, after I had washed & towel dried my hair I looked in the mirror and my hair was a moldy shade of green, it was so embarrassing, running down to the hairdressers to get the colour stripped, and basically turned to straw 🙁

Moral of the story always add some form of red to blonde hair before trying to dye it brown.

Haahaa…Thanks guys!!!! This is gold!!!! xoxoxoxo

Oh Gosh, Where to start? I guess my worst one would be when I was trying to wax my own eyebrows, and I somehow managed to get my eyelashes caught in the wax! I was freaking out all over the place and trying to get my eyelashes out of the wax with my tweezers……. Then only last week, I had my hair cut & coloured, so I thought I`d treat myself on the same day and get my eyelashes tinted….. Well, not only did the beautician get the dye in my eyes so they were watering and running the black dye down my face, but she also managed to spill one dot of the same black dye on my eyebrow! I had to go out and buy some eyebrow tint and dye my own eyebrows……

Heavens. All the stories here are so funny. The funniest thing didn`t happen directly to me but to my sister as a result of her tying what I was doing. A while back I was tying different concealers, during the search I learned about coloured concealers. I bought a green one that is supposed to hide readness. You use it by putting some on the red offending spot and then blending it with a skin coloured concealer. I explained this to my sister. A few days later she decided to try before going out with her partner. She thought she did a great job, but when she answered the door her partners first comment was `what`s that green stuff all over your face`.

Slow motion is the worst! Lol Cause that`s the moment you pinpoint that it`s all going wrong.. Yeah, it coulda been worse! lol
xx

haha billywig, when you know the product`s in jeopardy everything starts falling in slow motion 🙁 well at least we got to use a bit of it 🙂

Hey Beauty Babe, something simmilar happened when to a patient of mine once, she was in long term and her family brought her in some blue pillow cases to personalise her area a little, they hadn`t been washed, an in the morning she was blue all over her face and greying hair! Poor thing.

My beauty blunder, involved leaving the house with streaky self tanned legs!!
I used the holiday skin, and it gradually tans your skin, In the morning when I left the house it looked fine, a few hours later my legs where a streaky disaster! argh!! I am so pale naturally it is not funny!!
