We all have beauty regrets; some might be from our distant past (over-plucking our brows in high school) and some, in the not-so-distant past (#neverforget last week’s tontouring mishap). In a never-ending effort to prove that they’re indeed just like us, we asked some famous women about their biggest beauty regrets.
“I was into Manic Panic when I was fifteen. I would apply it like that [mimics haphazardly slapping it on her head] to the back of my head; a little patch of blue.” -Georgia May Jagger
“Picking my face, not wearing sunscreen. Growing up in California, I was tanning all the time, it’s just like, a part of the culture. Sun protection wasn’t a thing.” -Ryn Weaver
“More sunscreen.” -Fergie
“I mean, the 80s were a bit of a dodgy period. I used to scrunch my hair really curly. And at the beginning of my teens I would wear a bit of green eyeliner, but not the most beautiful green.” -Charlotte Tilbury
“Over-plucking. Losing my eyebrows. Thank god they grew back.” -Elisha Cuthbert
“I did what I did and I can’t take it back. And I’ve done a lot of it.” -Katy Perry
“I think back then I could’ve told myself to play it safe, but instead I stuck to my guns. I just didn’t care what anybody thought, not even my parents. I’m really glad that happened, because who knows what I would look like now.” -Kat Von D
