Celebrity Makeup Mishaps That Made the Internet Lose It
You’d think celebs would have it easy. They have professional makeup artists and makeup products either designed for them or picked out of millions to match them perfectly, yet sometimes they still end up with makeup blunders.
Frequently, the issue is not even the quality of the makeup itself; rather, it is the flash photography that undermines the overall appearance. Yes, you could tailor the makeup for flash photography, and when it’s a photoshoot, makeup artists often do. But when someone is going to an event, not just a photoshoot, you can’t account for everything, you sort of have to pick and choose and realize that certain things will look good irl, but might look weird in photos. And then on top of that, the light at the venue could be all weird too. So let’s take a look at some celeb makeup disasters that stick out in our memory.
Jessie J’s Lilac Lipstick Moment (BRIT Awards 2014)
Jessie J famously had a lipstick mishap at the BRIT Awards in 2014. She was probably going for a risky fashion look with her cool-toned lilac lipstick, but the internet reacted harshly. Everyone basically said that lipstick shade made her look unwell. It’s hard to tell if the lipstick really looked that bad irl or if it’s the harsh light that made it wash out Jessie’s complexion, but everyone, including Jessie, agreed it didn’t work in the end.
Chrissy Teigen’s 2008 “This Tan!!!” Throwback
Some celebs feel embarrassed about their mistakes, and then there are some who love to look back and laugh at themselves. Chrissy Teigen is one of those. In 2018 she decided to have a little walk down memory lane and posted a throwback of herself from 2008 with the caption “This tan!!!” Yeah, that tan looked intense, but it was the classic case of looking fine in real life, and the camera makes it look 200 times more intense. And let’s just all agree that anyone who used self-tan in the early 2000s was a risk taker and deserves a support group.
Selena Gomez vs. The Met Gala Tan (2018)
Selena Gomez also went for the self-tan option to look more sun-kissed at the 2018 Met Gala. But the self-tanner did her dirty. It looked fine at first, but it just kept getting darker through the night. Yeah, that happens with some self-tanners, they just keep oxidising for hours, which is why you should never do it the night of the event. Do it a whole 24 hours before, or better even a couple of days before the event, so that it could develop fully and you saw the end result. In the end she looked almost unrecognisable. Selene also approached the situation with humorous and posted a video of herself running through the parking lot with the caption “Me when I saw my pictures from the MET.”
