What are some BuzzFeed makeup artist horror stories?

Sure. A makeup artist might have a client who refuses to listen to any professional advice. For example, the artist recommends a certain color palette based on the client's skin tone and the event they are attending, but the client insists on a completely wrong color. The result is a makeup look that doesn't flatter the client at all, and the client then blames the artist.

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 about a time when doing makeup for a horror movie scene. The actor was supposed to look like a decaying corpse. As the makeup artist was applying the prosthetics, the actor suddenly twitched in a very unnatural way. It turned out he had fallen asleep and was having a nightmare, but it scared the makeup artist half to death.

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.

Perhaps they want to stand out and offer something different. Telling horror stories adds an edge to their makeup artistry and makes them more memorable.

One common element is unrealistic expectations. Clients often bring in pictures of models with perfect lighting and airbrushing and expect the exact same look. Another is being late like in the bridal makeup example. It throws off the artist's schedule. And of course, the indecisiveness of clients who can't decide on a look.

Sure. One horror story is when a makeup artist was working on a set for a horror movie. The actor was supposed to look really gory, but halfway through the makeup application, the actor had an allergic reaction to one of the products. His face swelled up and they had to rush him to the hospital. It was a nightmare for the makeup artist as it delayed the filming and there were concerns about the actor's well - being.

A makeup artist can be considered one who tells stories when they use makeup to create a mood. For example, using dark, smoky eyes and pale lips can create a moody, mysterious story. They also tell stories through their choice of colors, like using bright colors for a fun, energetic story.

Maybe to entertain their colleagues during breaks. It's a fun way to pass the time and share some spooky experiences from their work.
