Today, I gave in and let my friend give me a makeover. She couldn't find my eyelash curler, but decided that if she used scissors lightly, it would work just the same. Needless to say, it did not work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my sister gave me a makeover. I protested, but she insisted it'd look great. After an eternity of eyebrow plucking, she handed me the mirror. I now have extremely badly-drawn sharpie eyebrows. FML
Today, I let my friend cut my hair and after a few minutes, she looked at what she had done and then she ran out of the room, laughing. FML
Curled out
Today, while getting ready for a friend's wedding, I was curling my eyelashes. My cat decided to jump onto the towel rod. As I went to catch her, I ripped all the eyelashes out of one eye. I called my boyfriend crying. When he saw me, he laughed and said, "You look really surprised in that eye." FML
Stressed out
Today, I got stressed and well, let's just say I got carried away, pulled off most of my eyelashes on one eye, and now I have to find falsies that look real. FML
Today, I let a friend cut my hair. I soon went from having a 'fro to looking like I lost a fight with a lawn mower. FML
**** my shit up
Today, I tried to use a fancy new hairstyling tool and ended up getting my hair tangled in it. I had to cut a chunk of my hair off to free myself. FML
Sort yourself out
Today, a colleague texted me to say that I needed a haircut. Today was also the first day I attempted to ‘do’ my hair in about 5 years. Clearly, I shouldn’t have bothered. FML
Halved
Today, I went to the hair salon to get a fresh trim before receiving my master's diploma. The hairdresser managed to shave off half my eyebrow. FML
Today, after months of her begging me, I let my girlfriend cut my hair for the first time. It turned out so badly that we are now "taking a break until it looks normal again." FML
Help! I need somebody!
Today, I tried cutting my own bangs to save money. When I was done, they were so crooked that my roommate thought I’d lost a bet. Now I have to go into work tomorrow looking like a rejected Beatles tribute act. FML

Next time, just forego the eyelash curling and use some mascara.

That's really YOUR fault for letting her try that. You should've made her try it on her own eyelashes first.

Uhm, scissors out of all things? Pretty much equivalent to using a knife. You guys should have used a spoon. They work as great substitutes .

*googles* Hmm. I'm still going to stick with mascara on formal occasions. I've finally figured out how to do it without poking myself in the eye! *proud of this minor achievement* Yeah, I've got about three attributes/activites that one could classify as 'feminine', and one of those isn't done for 'feminine' reasons...

You use an eyelash curler with mascara not alone. You have no idea what your talking about, but thx for saying it twice!! Lol
rattusrattus 19
I will freely admit that I have no idea what I am talking about. I will also freely admit that putting hot metal near my eye does not appeal under any circumstance.
Idonebeenhad 17
Why did you even let her use the scissors?
audiophileMom 11
They don't get hot, no 1...
iamyummylicious 14
Eyelash curlers DON'T have to be hot. That's optional. I never do it, and I wear mascara and curl everyday. I don't think I know anyone who heats up the curler. Maybe a little bit with a hair dryer. Anyway, my eyelashes always look perfect and I never burn myself.
SpicyDuck 22
What the hell were you thinking? She's stupid for the idea, but you almost stupider for letting her try it!
RedPillSucks 33
Wait. Women put heated metal near their eyes?!!! And OP let someone put a HEATED scissors near her eyes??? Why do women put up with this crap????

Haha. I was born with natural curls which also curled my eyelashes.

I think se assumed it be like curling a ribbon for Christmas presents. Still extremely dumb of you to let her try OP.

24 they have eyelash curlers that are not hot :) I only use it for special occasions when I want my eyelashes to have extra volume.
desireev 18
Forgive me, as I now feel oblivious. I didn't know that people actually heat up their eyelash curlers! I always just use mine... Uuuuh... Not heated? Lol I just apply one, light coat of mascara before I use my eyelash curler. And it works perfectly! No heat necessary! :)
LolFMLnot 10
You don't need to curl your eyelashes. You can use mascara, they will look the same if you know how to put it on properly. I am a girl and i am into make up i know these things.
ohmandapants 17
^ some people have eyelashes that don't curl naturally. And while putting mascara will make them longer and thicker, it won't necessarily curl them. They might still be straight. So no, just because you're into makeup, does not mean you "know these things".

42--ur sooooo lucky ;)
Palirose 22
To be honest, I bet her friend did it on purpose. Maybe op has beautiful eyelashes? And her friend was jealous so she purposely acted that stupid? I mean seriously.... We all learn in kindergarten that scissors are for cutting. You'd be retarded to think they're for anything else. Js

Um you can use an eyelash curler without mascara. Actually it's better to do it without mascara cuz then your eyelashes don't stick to the curler and get pulled out
iamyummylicious 14
^I actually curl my eyelashes before I apply mascara. It turns out really well.
penguinazul 13
I heat up my eyelash curler on special occasions; all it takes is blowing the blow dryer on it for about 3 seconds and your lashes get a better curl than they would if you didn't heat it up. You don't heat it to the point that it would burn you, but enough to make the metal warm.

Scissoring is never a good idea if you're a guy.
DocBastard 40
I've been trying my best for the past 5 minutes to figure out exactly how the hell this pertains to this FML. OP is presumably a woman, and scissoring can be a hell of a lot of fun even if you are a guy (when done correctly). I'm lost in Dumbassland. Please someone send help!

Doc, I wish we could save you! But they've invaded our land and our means to get you. They're everywhere! Open a dictionary to repel them and save yourself some time! We will be there ASAP!

66 did you not read my comment? I just saved him with tactical military force. No need to worry about him being saved any longer. Doc is in good hands.

Eye lashes don't grow back the same

Lovely friend you got there they just cut off all your eyelashes instead of getting the proper tool -face palms-

A warm/hot spoon curls eyelashes!! Thays an old school trick women used when they cudnt afford a curler, didnt have one and had no extra time to get one, and when they hadnt yet been invented yet....
LexSwift 17
That's really YOUR fault for letting her try that. You should've made her try it on her own eyelashes first.
ladyLALAA 29
I feel like this was sabotage on your friends part. You should accidentally colour her hair green. :)

Be glad you're not a dude -- you'd probably let your idiot friends attempt a homemade circumcision.
RussianFox 13
I cringed from the mental image of a homemade circumcision.
RedPillSucks 33
Ah yes. The student circumcision kit. They called me "stumpy" at the academy.
Idonebeenhad 17
I cringe at every mental image perdix's comments cause...
Krirn 21
Before I finished reading the FML, I added "scissors" and "eye" together, and thankfully my math was wrong.
HeartOfLead 24
So in OPs current situation, I take it she's missing a piece of her eyelid?
Krirn 21
Can't say for sure, but I think a safer bet is to say she only lost her eyelashes, hopefully for only one eye.
br0ccoli 15
So many trolls! Common sense says: BFF wants your boyfriend. She totally did that on purpose! How the hell do you use a scissor 'lightly?' you can't. It's a ******* SCISSOR!
Vball6 19
Exactly! How the hell do scissors substitute for a lash curler???
sassyssg 1
You are supposed to use a spoon if you don't have an eyelash curler! Do you not have google?
Adelaide_CF 6
Actually, the mascara itself does curl the eyelashes enough. Well, most of them :)

Who is honestly stupid enough to Think that scissors will Work anyway? Sorry but... YDI for letting her do it. "let me curl ur lashes with scissors!" seriously???
