She kept trying to convince herself that it was okay, but she knew it wasn't. When you're going to a ball, you want to look your best.

I don't know her, and I know this is far from her best.

I wonder how long she stayed pink after this. She looks very distraught by this experience.

I don't think she will ever buy another Lush product as long as she lives. Her grandchildren probably won't get the chance either.

Ladies, if you want to get your eyebrows done, try to avoid wherever she went in Beverly Hills.

It looks like they tried to make her into a cartoon character. At least she thinks it isn't so bad.

There Goes Her Hair

Wow, that's too bad. She tried to make an instructional video and ended up teaching herself something.

Don't play with the curling iron if you don't know what you're doing. Also, stay ready for anything when dealing with hot things.

She Tried It

She tried it, but she shouldn't have. She didn't do herself any favors by trying to give herself acrylics.

That's a job you save for the nail salon. Hopefully, they weren't hard to take off.

Waxing anything comes with its fair share of precautions. If you're going to do your lips, this could happen.

This woman admitted how painful this was, and I can feel the pain through the picture.

The Worst Cut

Well, she's going to have to go shorter to make this thing look normal. I know she probably didn't want to go too low.

It's too late now. She shouldn't have tried to cut her own hair.

She's In Tears

It came out so bad; she was in tears for the photo that she showed to others.

Now, we all can share her pain with her. For some reason, this woman went to the worst-reviewed makeup artist in her city.

That's Not What She Wanted

She's in complete shock. It looks like a dog is on her head, and I'm being nice.

It's far from what she wanted (left), but she's going to have to live with it or figure something else out.

That's Not So Sweet

She thought she could pull it off, but she failed miserably. Her face tells the story the best.

Next time, she should watch a YouTube video that explains it better for her so she can follow step-by-step.

Looks Like It Hurt!

Sometimes, it's best to let the pros handle your beauty needs. It's nice to practice, but not when you have something to do.

I hope she didn't have anywhere important to go after this disaster.

This is how this woman looked for her wedding in 2016. Sometimes when it's the last minute there's not much you can do.

Hey, she had the courage to smile through it and still say I do, so kudos to her.

Better Luck Next Time...

Honestly, I don't know if she'll have better luck next time if this is how they came out this time.

The professionals are the only people who need to touch this woman's nails from here on out.

Done For A Shoot

This happened when she used to model. The makeup artist did this to her face for a shoot.

Maybe it was an inside job. Perhaps, they didn't want to use her anymore so they messed up on purpose.

She's Like The Jabbawockeez

If I were her, I wouldn't have admitted that she used to wear this look all the time in 2017.

It took her some years to realize that she would leave the house looking like one of the Jabbawockeez.

This is an utter disaster. The price to make yourself look how you wish with products can be steep.

I don't even want to imagine cleaning all the junk up in my sink. I hope it was worth it.

She's A Smurf Now!

I hope all the women take this woman's advice about the galaxy bath bomb from Kroger.

Kroger makes a lot of products, but you probably shouldn't trust their bath bombs after reading this tweet.

Don't Look Too Long...

The longer you look at it, the worse it gets for her. There's too much going on here.

It's like it was someone's first time trying to do another person's makeup. How many mistakes can you spot?

There Was An Attempt

Well, there was an attempt. Unfortunately, it looks like a blind person tried doing her nails for the first time.

I'm sorry if she has vision problems, but this is out of control.

It looks like the spray tan came with collateral damage. Those sheets are going to be hard to clean.

She admitted that she would rather buy new sheets than try to clean this up.
