Some people have horror stories about contouring gone wrong. They follow the Buzzfeed guides but end up looking like they have dirt streaks on their face instead of a nice, chiseled look. Also, when lipsticks bleed outside the lip line, it can be a nightmare. It makes your lips look much larger in a really unflattering way and ruins the whole look.
One common one is getting the wrong shade of foundation. Like I said before, it can oxidize or just be completely the wrong color for your skin tone, which is a big mess. Another is when false lashes don't stick properly. You end up with one lash half - on and half - off, looking really silly.
Well, once I tried this new bright red lipstick from a brand I saw on Buzzfeed. It looked amazing in the ad. But when I put it on, it smeared all over my teeth. It was so embarrassing. I had to keep checking my teeth every few minutes.
One horror story could be a makeup artist having to deal with a client who has extremely sensitive skin but didn't disclose it. The makeup artist used the usual products and the client had a bad allergic reaction right before an important event. It was a nightmare to try and fix the situation quickly.
Allergic reactions are quite common. Like when a client doesn't disclose their allergies and then has a bad reaction during makeup application. Another one is running out of products in the middle of a job. For example, if a makeup artist is doing a full face of makeup and suddenly realizes they don't have enough foundation left. It can be a disaster.
One common one is bad haircuts. People see a trendy haircut on BuzzFeed and go to their stylist. But the stylist either misinterprets it or doesn't have the skills to pull it off. Another is makeup disasters like the wrong foundation shade that makes you look like a ghost or a clown. And then there are skin problems from using products that are not suitable for your skin type, like a super - drying face wash for people with dry skin.
One common story is about roommates who don't respect personal space. They might go through your stuff or barge into your room without knocking. It's really uncomfortable and makes you feel like you have no privacy at all.
Another common horror story is workplace bullying. A new hire might be constantly picked on by colleagues. They might be excluded from team meetings or given false information on purpose, just to make their work difficult. This creates a really hostile work environment that's hard to thrive in.
Misrepresentation is a common one. Like when someone lies about their job or appearance. For example, saying they are a successful entrepreneur when they are actually unemployed, or using a really old and flattering photo on their dating profile.
The cut - throat nature of the legal field even in law school is also often mentioned. There's a lot of backstabbing. For instance, in a moot court competition, some students would steal others' research ideas to make their own arguments better, which is really unethical.
Food - related issues can be a theme too. Some travelers have had stories of getting food poisoning from local food, which can be really awful when you're in a foreign place. And then there are those stories of overbooking by airlines or other travel companies, leaving travelers stranded without a proper place to stay or a way to reach their destination as planned.
Often they are about race. For instance, people making assumptions based on skin color like thinking a person of color is not as intelligent or hard - working as others. It's a very common and unfair microaggression.
