Not so fast to the dermatologist, ladies

Making beauty mistakes is a part of being a woman, and decades later, we’ve all look at photos of ourselves and cringed.  

Whether you over-plucked your brows in the ’90s, had a fake tan disaster, or used a foundation way too light for your skin, at least you now know celebrities have been there too.

“I think there’s a pressure to maintain [your looks] not just because of fame, but just being a woman in this business,” the star said on plastic surgery. “I have done things that I regret and luckily there are things that dissolve and go away.

“Wearing way too much makeup on a red carpet. I didn’t do it myself; it was before I was aware of how I liked my red carpet makeup. It’s a learning process. You have to go through it to get better, so I’m just glad I got that over with a few years ago, when people cared a lot less [about who I was]” – Gigi Hadid

“There was a phase in the ’80s where I don’t think anyone was sporting good hair and makeup. The amount of makeup I piled onto my skin and the wonderful hair colours and cuts that my hair went through. I don’t look back fondly on some of those choices. But I do laugh at them!’ – Jennifer Aniston
