We’ve all had them, go on admit it. At some point you have made a beauty mistake which is at best an embarrassment and at worst a total disaster.

I have had my fair share – in fact I seem to have them on a regular basis including last night (epilator, skin removal, vast amount of sudocrem on underarms). So tell me, what are your most memorable beauty disasters?

To get the ball rolling I’ll go first. When I was a teenager (19 to be precise, and old enough to know better), I coloured my hair a lovely pale blonde. A friend, who was a make up artist suggested using facial bleach to lighten my dark eyebrows and I went for it. The first time around it looked great, and it was very on trend for 2003 I’ll have you know. After a few weeks, regrowth appeared and I decided it was time to hit the bleach again.

The second time, it didn’t work at all. The hair was already fragile and snapped off, leaving me with patchy bleach blonde eyebrows for the summer.

I had to cut a fringe to cover the mess and learn to use and eyebrow pencil. By the end of the summer it was time to go to university where I remember vividly being asked if I shaved my eyebrows – oh the humiliation!!

So go on, spill. What are your beauty disasters?
