15 Hilarious Beauty Fails Every Girl Can Relate To

The relationship between you and your beauty routine is probably one filled with a healthy mixture of love and hate. Most days, you can rely on it to help you look and feel your very best, but every makeup wearing, hair styling, nail painting fashionista knows that the sun can't shine everyday. We've all experienced the dark days: days when you feel like you have been betrayed by your favorite beauty products and techniques. It's as if they are doing everything in their power to work against you! What gives? I think it's safe to say that we'll never truly know, but in the meantime, the best way to deal with unruly beauty moments is to have a good laugh and realize that if it's happened to you, chances are, it has happened to plenty of others, too. 

1. Self Tanners

Some of us will do everything we can to get a that beautiful, sun-kissed glow. Self tanner can be the perfect way of achieving this look, but when it comes to DIYing your own batch, the results may be less than perfect... WAY less...  

2. Winged Liner

I don't think this problem really needs much of an explanation. Liquid eyeliner is awesome, except when it turns against you and ruins your life! 

3. Movember Nails

I mustache the mani gods why they insist on being so difficult whenever I try out a cute new design.

4. DIY Lip Stains

The only upside to this DIY fail is that your lips would taste absolutely delicious!

5. Sock Buns

I think it's safe to say that anyone who has ever attempted a sock bun has had this happen once or twice.

6. Trendy Colors

When you try the hottest new shade and it turns out to be a hot mess!

7. Fake Lashes

Be nice to the glue, people! It's your friend, but can quickly become your worst enemy.

8. Cartoon Nails

This design is supposed to be fun and exciting, not sad and rage-inducing!

9. Highlighting & Contouring

When you get halfway through your first attempt at highlighting and contouring and question all of your life decisions...

10. Glitter

Oh glitter, why do you have to be such a beautiful pain? 

11. Hair Bows

You know when you can't quite figure out what's going on in a tutorial and you try to improvise? Yeah, not always the best idea. 

12. Smokey Eyes

Haute couture raccoon eyes, anyone?

13. Bold Lipsticks

There should be warnings on lipstick tubes about how you only get one shot at perfect application. Trying to fix smeared lipstick? Good luck with that!

14. "Simple" Updos

We've all been tricked by the promise of a "simple" hairstyle many times, and the disappointment never gets easier to handle.

15. Sparkly Eyeshadow

Remember that time you were trying to go super dramatic and glam, but ended up looking like the sparkle fairy threw up on you? Good times!
