I was inspired by the wonderful world of Twitter yesterday to do a blog post on ‘teenage beauty blunder’. God knows, I had more than my fair share of them! After seeing a couple of ‘tweets’ about them I thought I would do a post to ‘confess’ a few of mine…. just for laughs.
I wont even get started on how my first attempts at fake tanning went…or how I only discovered hair straighteners at 19…
SO, now that I have shared (some) of mine, it’s your turn! What are your ‘teenage beauty blunders’… comment below 🙂
I think my worst was using talcum powder for face powder, as I had run out of what I usually used, probably Yardley in those days. What on earth must I have looked like??!!

Oh no! I guess it does sligtly depend on your skin tone as to exactly HOW bad that would have looked…
my worst beauty blunder was when i found coloured hair gel and put my hair in a pony tail, plaited front sections and left them out and to top it off i put blue and red gel in those plaits!! oh and i used baby pink lipstick (pinker than saint germain) and sparkly gloss…those are the days i am glad i’ve past.
Great post! Probably using far too much No7 green ‘colour correcting’ base to try and tone down my rosy cheeks! I do think teens today have it a lot easier – formulas are so much better and there’s SO much choice…I just interviewed a make-up artist for my blog and she was saying how when she trained, everything was matt – or really frosted with nothing in between – so much harder to use.
I’m with you with the not discovering hair straightners for a long time! I had a similar experience with the school thing too I had to wipe my orange lipstick off or I couldn’t leave…I’m embarrassed for myself ever wearing it!!
Great post 🙂

hair mascara. why?! x
@Samantha – I agree, who ever thought painting crusty, patchy colours through hair was a good idea was seriously delusional… huge mistake.
Come to think of it, glitter spray for hair was pretty bad too. It went EVERYWHERE and stuck around long after washing clothes/hair/face/surrounding walls!
oh god the glitter spray…x
panda eyess.. 😐
Light blue or lilac eyeshadow every day. Ahhhhhhh
