I used to use way to much bronze ( and it was a shimmery bronze to smh) and use to draw my eyebrows in with jet black and color them in. There older pictures on my profile showing when I use to do that.

I used to wear way too much pink blusher, and I also used to wear really thick black eyeliner on the bottom but not the top, and after that I wore thick black eyeliner on top, with loads of glitter eyeliner on the bottom. I only realised my mistake when my art teacher who I loved told me that she used to be a makeup artist, and showed me how glitter would look best :)

I did the VERY thick orange foundation thing when I was like 12.. NOT a good look. It's funny though cause so many girls still do it =L.

I only pit my creme foundation on my cheeks and nose (in pics that part of my face is glowing, it looks horrible.) and I used way too much eyeshadow and I would have glitter falling done onto my cheeks. then when I got eyeliner I only tightlined and waterlined and would retouch it constantly.

Matched my eye makeup to my outfit - as in yellow turtleneck/yellow eyeshadow & liner. Can't forget that mistake because it was my first driver's license picture. Also had no idea how to choose the right shade of foundation...

I feel like I am constantly learning and realising all the mistakes I used to (and probably still do). I used to just put foundation on...like slap it on with no finesse. I'd just strip eye-shadow on with no.blending no nothing. God its cringy

Hahaha @lacey I wore that same foundation and caked it on to cover my "redness. " Looked horrible!!

@ Sarah I use to do that too :) I thought everything was suppose to match and if my eyes and lips do not match then I need to change clothes lol. I figures out I was wrong after seeing a picture of myself in all red and it was NOT a good look.
