OK, we've all done this kind of thing- realising just a little too late that we made a horrible cosmetic mistake, or finding out why certain steps are really important. I don't know exactly when I figured it out, but when I was younger, I thought there was some kind of law against using more than one colour eye shadow at a time. So on those occasions where I did apply shadow, I looked consistently like I'd run away from the beautician's chair a little bit before she was finished. I remember that one of my first shadows was a really dark green that I used to apply, messily and with no liner, all over my lids. And I wondered why it never looked right.
I was also in my thirties before I figured out that blush was not the enemy. Since I've always liked dark lips, I have a number of "Corpsey McDopeFiend" pictures of me in my twenties.
More recently (read "today"), I realised that while Mac Fluidline and Mac Paint Pots may feel similar, they have different properties. I used Siahi fluidline as a base for a pigment, which looked awesome, however I just washed my face and my eye lids are still noticeably blue. Awesome. I'll be rocking the heavy, smoky eye look for a few days...
So I can't be the only one who's screwed things up. What advice do we have to pass onto others?
