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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

highlighter pen? WTF? why would you even think that? YDI for not reading the article very well and even so a stupid person would have realized that it didn't mean highlighter pen

Um you didn't notice the picture of a bottle labeled liquid highlighter in clear black lettering? Because 99% of the time Seventeen gives at least one example of the products that they suggest you try. And how did you get highlighter ink in your foundation anyway? Did you break it open and pour it in or did you just color straight onto your face. Either way there should have been a moment where you thought to yourself, "This just doesn't seem right."

I'm a guy, who's never dyed or "highlighted" or anything and even I cant see how you would possibly **** up like that :/

I use very little makeup, and even I know that's not exactly something to put on your skin. Please, do not have children.

This almost leaves me speechless. Honestly, if you are a regular "Seventeen" reader, it strikes me as odd that you would not have come across an article on liquid highlighter before. They tell you all the time to add it to the bridge of your nose and other areas where light hits, etc. You are probably one of the stupidest OPs I have ever come across on this site. Why would ANY highlighting ink, intended to be used as an office product, have to be added to makeup? Do you think bright yellow will look good on your face? Or any other color for that matter? Next you'll be lining your eyes with permanent marker. YDI dumbass.
