makeup-bagWith, false tan, liquid eyeliner and contouring, practise makes perfect and we’ll admit to a fair share of make-up mishaps, while trying to master our technique.

Cue wet wipes; if in doubt, simply wipe clean and start again.

These looks below didn’t get the wet wipe memo, they are simply shocking and we believe they should never have been allowed out in public.

Case study 1:

makeupforlifeThe Nineties make-up crime; favoured by the likes of Pamela Anderson, a dark lip liner teamed with a light lipstick.

Case study 2:

Case study 5:
