\"How<\/p>\n

A few years ago, at the ripe old age of fifteen, I was invited to a friend of my mom\u2019s wedding. Delighted with the idea of getting dressed up on the day, I considered my make-up options. At this very fragile stage in my life, I was quite self-conscious and into a slightly gothy look (too much black eyeliner under the eyes and not a pop of colour on my cheeks!). So, in her infinite wisdom, my mother suggested that I get my make-up done with her. A kind gesture indeed, but unfortunately for me, not a great move towards my faith in make-up artists (that has since been restored by great make-up artists like Glamity Jane).<\/p>\n

You see, my mother and I have very different skin tones (She\u2019s an autumn and I\u2019m more of a summer) and it was a stage of the early noughties where every lady wanted to look as bronze (ahem orange) as possible. To this day, I\u2019m not sure if my MUA<\/a> thought I may be fake tanning later at home, or if she just thought that I would be wearing a huge scarf but all I can say is that it looked like I\u2019d switched bodies with someone else.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I smiled politely and went home TERRIFIED! Endlessly rubbing and blending my bronzed jaw-line, I realized there was very little hope for me. The texture and colour were entirely wrong for my face. Somehow, I managed to look a little more presentable but it took a little work. So, if you\u2019ve ever been the victim of some awful make-up (professionally or by your own hand), here are some quick tips to remedy the look:<\/p>\n
