Making beauty mistakes is a part of being a woman, and decades later, we’ve all look at photos of ourselves and cringed.
Whether you over-plucked your brows in the ’90s, had a fake tan disaster, or used a foundation way too light for your skin, at least you now know celebrities have been there too.
“When I was younger, on a totally weird whim, I plucked out all of my eyebrows!’ the model wrote on her website. ‘Thankfully, they grew back, but my sisters flipped out.” – Kendall Jenner
“I think there’s a pressure to maintain [your looks] not just because of fame, but just being a woman in this business,” the star said on plastic surgery. “I have done things that I regret and luckily there are things that dissolve and go away. So that’s good because it’s not always been my best look.”- Courtney Cox
“Wearing way too much makeup on a red carpet. I didn’t do it myself; it was before I was aware of how I liked my red carpet makeup. It’s a learning process. You have to go through it to get better, so I’m just glad I got that over with a few years ago, when people cared a lot less [about who I was]” – Gigi Hadid
“I definitely made my lips a little too big at one point… I got excited and felt like I needed to do a lot. And then I had to go back and have it fixed, and it was a crazy process. Thank God I didn’t end up on Botched” – Kylie Jenner
“I dyed my own hair this Chocolate Cherry colour. It was a big mistake. I feel like my hair is still recovering from it” – Chrissy Teigen
“I lasered my baby hairs off years ago because my forehead had all these little baby hairs… I also lasered my neck because I had such a hairy neck. But now I miss them. I think they look youthful!’- Kim Kardashian West
“There was a phase in the ’80s where I don’t think anyone was sporting good hair and makeup. The amount of makeup I piled onto my skin and the wonderful hair colours and cuts that my hair went through. I don’t look back fondly on some of those choices. But I do laugh at them!’ – Jennifer Aniston
“Extensions. I woke up one day and I said, ‘You know, I don’t want to wear a bikini top this summer, so I guess I’ll get hair that covers my breasts.’ And it did!” – Mary-Kate Olsen
“I’ve tried [Botox] before, where it was like [a] little tiny touch of something. It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like, ‘No, I don’t want to [be] like [that]’… I’d rather see my face ageing than a face that doesn’t belong to me at all.’ – Cameron Diaz
“I had very over-plucked eyebrows and when I started modelling I was told I would need to let them grow back before I could go to castings!” – Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
“I once went to a lady for the first time who was going to wax my eyebrows, and she told me I needed to wax my entire face. I have very, very sensitive skin, and my face did not like being waxed… In pictures I look like I’m terribly sunburned. Never again” – Brittany Snow
“Bleaching my arm hair in high school. It was copper orange in patches and purple in others…never again” – Cate Blanchett
“I was getting a facial, and a woman put something on me, and it started to burn. I was like, ‘What is this?’ She said, ‘Skin lightener.’ I was like, ‘Get this off immediately!'” – Amy Adams
