"28 ridiculous mistakes all women have done at least once" - how many can you tick off?

I'm embarrassed to admit I've done well over half, but mostly when I was too young to know any better...

Only 5. How you go through life without getting lipstick on your teeth or your mascara in your eye though is beyond me.

RedLondonBus · 29/11/2013 22:32

no 28....the mumsnet haircut!

magimedi · 29/11/2013 22:33

None.

And maybe this should be in 'Style 'n' Beauty?

And how about 28 ridiculous mistakes men have made?

Londonista85 · 29/11/2013 22:33

I've just realised I didn't even mention they are beauty mistakes. In my defence I've had a long week...

Is there a way of changing the title?

LalyRawr · 29/11/2013 22:34

16!

My excuse is that neither my mum or Foster mum wore make up, so had no guidance!

ThoseArentSpiritFingers · 29/11/2013 22:35

I've only done 3... I think I'm just very unadventurous when it comes to make up though

BooMeowson · 29/11/2013 22:35

Ha! 15! Most of the ones from my yoof before it was really popular for false eye lashes etc.

Didn't realise I had tried out so many make-up things (and failed at so many)

Londonista85 · 29/11/2013 22:36

Beauty mistakes men have made? I could write that list.

Mistakes men have made generally? I could write that list as well.

Sorry if I've put this in the wrong place, is there a way to move it?

BrianTheMole · 29/11/2013 22:36

14, (in the days I used to bother about make up and stuff). In the past ten years or so though, zero!

Frikadellen · 29/11/2013 22:36

5

BrianTheMole · 29/11/2013 22:37

Report yourself op and ask for it to be moved.

Bunbaker · 29/11/2013 22:37

Just three. Most of them are too stupid.

Longdistance · 29/11/2013 22:39

Two phew!

Londonista85 · 29/11/2013 22:40

I've asked for it to be moved. Cheers!

5 but then I don't care too much about beauty.

What is wrong with block highlights? I thought the picture looked quite nice (should I be ashamed now??)

KungFuBustle · 29/11/2013 22:40

It's chat! It's not in the wrong place.

I've done most except the fake tan and bronzing ones.

miffybun73 · 29/11/2013 22:40
  1. Lipstick on teeth.
JulieMumsnet · 29/11/2013 22:41

Evening.

We're just going to trundle this over to style and beauty.

realblueprint · 29/11/2013 22:42

Hilarious that the OP is getting bollocked for putting this in the 'wrong' place.

It's chat fgs! Nothing wrong with it being here.

And I doubt that many men have left the house with lipstick on their teeth so I don't see the problem with it being about women's mistakes.

Calm the fuck down, it's Friday - cheers!

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 29/11/2013 22:43

8 but then am quite limited in my makeup choices

magimedi · 29/11/2013 22:43

Well done for getting it moved! Wine (which won't aid mistakes Grin )

NoComet · 29/11/2013 22:45

I frequently cut my own fringe too short much to DDs disgust.

In my defence I wear glasses and my fringe is only ever the right, just not touching, length for a couple of days.

UterusUterusGhali · 29/11/2013 22:45

Gawd 21!

Plus lots they haven't mentioned. (Home hair dying, anyone?)

RedLondonBus · 29/11/2013 22:47

yes uterus and good old 'sun in'

SummerRain · 29/11/2013 22:48

OP ignore the thread police Smile

I've done more than I care to count. My mother doesn't wear much makeup so I learned mostly by getting it horribly, horribly wrong Grin

I'm still not great at the whole make-up thing so tend towards very little really, I look better with defined eyes and lips but no matter what I do I end up with panda eyes and smudged lipstick halfway through the night Hmm
