What are some makeup/hair looks you did when you were young that now make you go “oh god, oh no.”?
im 26, graduated in 2016, and some of my middle/HS looks make me both laugh and absolutely die inside. sorry if this topic has recently been discussed, i just really love these stories.
-there was a period in the early 2010’s where brands were really focused on products that emphasized your eye color. i have green eyes so i packed a metallic rusty red milani shadow around my eyes everyday. one day i sat down in my 7th grade algebra class and the popular hot dude next to me goes “woah… did you get punched in the eyes?” my soul did leave my body.
-i bought a pack of colorful liquid eyeliners from claire’s (also 7th grade) and would completely coat my eyes in blue liquid liner, to the point where it would crack and fall out all over my face during the day
-i’d spend literally an hour before school perfecting my foundation (when i had perfect skin) powder it and do nothing else. no blush, no bronzer, no brows. just a pale, flat base. genuinely thought i slayed
-some days i’d spend ~an hour before school straightening my hair (I HAVE STRAIGHT HAIR) and then go to swim class for it to then get all fcked up from the water/swim cap 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
