20+ Women That Wanted Cool Makeup, but Ended Up With a ton of Disappointment

According to most women, everyday makeup is the key to feeling confident. But there are times when it’s not enough to powder the nose and use eyeliner, and you need a professional artist. They will take the features of your face and the texture of your skin into account to highlight all your advantages and hide all the flaws. However, there are exceptions when you don’t get what you actually asked for.

We at CHEERY have found examples of situations when makeup artists did such a terrible job that their clients had no idea what to do.

1. “This is what a professional MUA did on me for a wedding last weekend. Yes, I went and washed it all off.”

2. “She charged for mess...”

3. “I PAID $85 for this face and ended up walking out the ’MUAS’’s house with an hour and a half left until prom. Clearly, I was not happy.”

4. “I had my makeup professionally done for my brother’s wedding and the only requests I made were natural looking, and no peach-colored eye shadow. I wasn’t thrilled with how it turned out.”

5. “Please help. I am REALLY bummed about my makeup trial. I either need validation that I’m not crazy and this looks like hell, or someone to tell me, ’this looks great, don’t worry.’ I’m paying $350 for my makeup alone, FYI.”

6. “Disappointed with makeup trial — please help me with some feedback for the artists. First time getting professional makeup done, and I’m going back next week for a new trial.”

7. “This was the makeup job a professional MUA did on me (I was a bridesmaid). I can’t believe I paid for this. It looked okay in the photos that were airbrushed later, but I felt ugly all day.”

8. “I’m an entertainer and I was making a bday poster and told an artist I wanted a ‘natural beach look’ for a photoshoot. This is what I got... I’m only 25... and not this ugly, I swear...”

9. “I paid to get my makeup done for prom and this happened. I cried so bad on the way home and had to call my friend to come over and help me out.”

10. “I was a hair model for a high-end London salon. This was the presentation makeup their MUA gave me.”

11. “Just had a trial for bridal makeup. Not sure if this is flattering.”

12. “Disappointed by my wedding makeup trial. I don’t know a lot about makeup!”

13. “Trusted this Instagram MUA I know to do my prom makeup...”

14. “This is a PSA, do a makeup trial! The girl who did my makeup let me walk out like this!”

15. “I never wore makeup in high school, so decided to get my prom makeup done at a professional cosmetics store 4 years ago... Found this sub and felt I should share.”

“I specially told her I didn’t wear much, told her during I felt it was too heavy. She replied ‘I haven’t blended it yet it’ll look good at the end.’ Then when I got out of the white light mirrors to pay she gave me the ‘omg yikes’ eye bulge. Needless to say, I cried off my makeup on the drive home.” © mjurew / Reddit
