Today, I was told by 'Seventeen' to add liquid highlighter to my foundation for an all-over glow. Little did I know that liquid highlighter is an actual makeup product. I now have an awful rash due to applying the ink from a highlighter pen. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I used a new face mask that claimed it would make my skin glow. I must have missed the part about testing for allergies. My “glow” turned into a bright red rash overnight, just in time for a first date. FML
Today, I woke up with a giant red rash all over my face, so puffed up that I could hardly open my eyes. The doctor said it was probably from some of the compounds found in most makeup. I'm just getting into theatre and have auditions coming up. FML
Today, my mom told me that my new concealer is way too dark and makes my skin look hideously orange and uneven. I wasn't wearing any makeup. FML
Today, I found out that the foundation I've been using for the past month isn't normal foundation, its skin darkening foundation. I look like an oompa loompa from the neck up. It won't go away for another month. FML
Today, I was following a makeup tutorial on YouTube. The girl said to apply concealer to any "problem areas" on my face. When I was done, 90% of my face was covered in concealer. FML
Today, I got a new skin cream for my acne. I tested it on a small patch of skin just to make sure I wasn't allergic. I was, and the reaction didn't stay on that small patch of skin. My left arm is now almost entirely covered in a horrible rash. FML
Today, I thought I could make my own skincare products from scratch, but I ended up with a weird, greasy concoction, which left a red mark on my hands. It's been two hours and the mark is still there, despite several washes. FML
Today, I was really badly sunburnt, so I put on some after-sun. The only type we have has glitter in it, and now I look like a sparkling tomato. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, I realized how exhausted I was when I mixed up my eye makeup remover with toner. My eye still burns. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

did you really think it meant a highlighter pen? like seriously, why would you think an office supply can double as makeup?

so did you apply your foundation and then draw on your face with a highlighter pen? you might want to put some antihystamine cream on the rash to help if go down, or take some piriton tablets

Although you have to be 17 to visit this site, I'm sure lots of OP's are under the minimum age, such as this OP. In that case YDI still...

There is also a section in Seventeen called "what guys really think of your body" with a box titled "LESS IS MORE!" (sorry for the capitalization seeming odd, I'm just typing it out the way it is typed in the magazine). In it, the guy talks about how "the attention [his friend] gets from guys has nothing to do with the changes she makes and has everything to do with how aesome (and genuinely naturally pretty) she has been all along." Maybe you should stop taking advice from the girls in the makeup columns (I personally never do since I don't wear makeup) and start listening to the nice guys out there--they'll like you without any foundation, which means you can avoid little mess-ups like this. :)

Disclaimer so I don't get flamed about being hypocritical by saying that I don't wear makeup but have it on in my profile pic: A friend of mine does photo-shoots, which is the only time that I wear any. I never put makeup on myself for casual use or even for nicer events. Au naturale all the way, unless you're doing an awesome Egyptian photo shoot with friends! ;D

And now the above statement doesn't matter, since I changed my pic. >_> Sorry for any confusion :D

Stfu Makeup is my best friend :P Unfortunately as I began to read this, I also thought that Highlighter was actual highlighter, but quickly figured out otherwise. Making that mistake is acceptable when reading...but seriously somewhere down the line while actually trying this, you must've realized something's wrong.

However in my case, I look like absolute crap 'au-naturel' and I feel extremely satisfied with myself when I'm in makeup. To me I think boys don't really care how much makeup a girl wears, as long as she feels confident that way and the end result is relatively pretty. Some people need more than others, and those who don't need much...I'm tempted to call them lucky, but to be honest, I'm fine with my need of it :D

That is retarded. What is wrong, with not only you for falling for that, but Seventeen for suggesting such a dumb thing? :

umm....seventeen was definitely NOT suggesting she put the ******* ink from a highlighter pen in with her foundation to make her glow, you moron. she didn't "fall" for anything, she's just a retard. highlighter is an actual MAKE UP product
