1 Real Girl Confesses Her Biggest Beauty Blunders Ever!

I'm sure you all know the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast, but for me, beauty is a beast. My whole life I've struggled with not only the concept of beauty but executing beauty methods that seemed to come so easily to other girls. From poorly dyed hair to a yearlong makeup rut to my permanently drawn-in brows, I've made more beauty mistakes in my life thus far than most women do in their lifetimes. It's a miracle I haven't shunned the outside world and taken up a hermit's life.

But, the infuriating paradox that it is, beauty keeps me coming back for more. I've had enough successes that I want to learn more and keep improving, even if that means hitting a few roadblocks along the way. Plus, there's something innately addictive about beauty products — the combination of our consumer culture and my love of anything colourful and in a palette keeps me going back to Sephora to buy the next shiny new iteration.

All I can hope today, and going forward, is that I've learned a thing or two about my past mistakes and I'll never repeat them again. Keep reading to see my worst beauty blunders throughout life.
