Hello there! :)
Some time ago, I posted about an unpleasant and embarrassing makeup experience I had. You can read about it here. I am no makeup artist, and the spirit behind this blog is the fact that I am really just bumbling my way through the makeup world. Today I have another story to tell that highlights this completely. I debated posting this, but I thought maybe people could get a good laugh/relate.
Earlier this month, I was able to hit the milestone of finally graduating from school. It's been a long time coming (sort of) but I know I will miss it soon enough. Anyhoo, it was a traditional graduation with the gowns and hoods (no hats though). My program was decently small so I was able to interact and meet people in one capacity or another.
While getting my gown, I saw an acquaintance picking up his as well. I started out with the typical congrats, how are you, so happy we're done chit chat. After we both had our gowns on and were parting ways, I went in a for a goodbye hug. He came at me with a bit more force than I expected and I nicked my chin on the shoulder of his gown. What was left was a sizeable (but not crazy) foundation stain on his gown. Of course it just happened to be the white part. I was mortified. I ended up not saying anything which I probably should have. I was just so shocked and so embarrassed at the time.
I am usually a very careful person with foundation staining. I think I've mastered the art of trying on clothes when shopping. I'm so conscious of it. Maybe this sounds a bit hypocritical now, but whenever I see foundations stains on the collars of shirts I just get totally grossed out. I guess it ruins the illusion of a shirt being 'new' from a store (even though after working retail, I should know better than to even think that).
I still feel so bad that I didn't say anything. Hopefully no one noticed. I saw that he posted pictures on Facebook and I didn't notice anything. In hindsight, that was pretty rude of me not to say anything, just to protect my own self-esteem.
So what can I say. I'm still learning and makeup is always a continual journey. I'm okay with that.
Has anything like this ever happened to you? Is there even a way to prevent foundation transfer on clothes? Teach me. ;)
Thanks for reading! Hope you have a great day!
