What were some of your questionable makeup choices?

When I was 18 and I wasn't very experienced with makeup (but I still think I should've known better at that age 🤦), I'd read that geishas apply their rouge under their white foundation to give their face inner glow. It was waaaaay before underpainting trend.

I didn't have any red blush, but I had a red lipstick. And instead of using a foundation, I would apply a layer of white (translucent) powder on top. I'm fortunately really pale or it would have looked waaaay worse than it did (retrospectively), but I liked it. I mean, I wore red eyeshadows with black lipstick, I always loved bold makeup (maybe I'll recreate this one someday) . But that one def wasn't a good bold makeup 😭
