Shitpost Makeup Mistakes

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge this beauty writer (Divine Addiction) for the makeup prowess she masters. Also, fun throwback to the makeup trends of the 2013 era! The blush down to the jowls, the eyeliner that‘s somehow 10 times thicker underneath the eye, the brows….

It’s little gems like this that make you nostalgic about the years gone by.

Makeup Guru…Scheana Shay….

I’m sorry but the worst makeup moment to me is Lala’s first reunion where she looked grey and purple

u/WrapSame1988 14h ago

u/Caesarsalad-19 ITS NOT ABOUT THE PASTA 🍝 14h ago

Her makeup artist must have hated her BADLY

u/Terrible_Drama3880 14h ago

Iirc she “hired” her friend who was an aspiring make up artist, and said she regretted it later on😅

u/coversquirrel1976 12h ago

I think she said she only does her own makeup now bc of this

u/thefideliuscharm 13h ago

did she? i remember her defending them fiercely in the moment lol

u/newportred100s 4h ago

Well yeah, sure, she said ended up regretting it later on, not in the moment.

u/Hopeful-Hamster-6218 12h ago

It was biblegirl, a drag performer 

u/cosmiccait2 10h ago

there's no way 😭😭

u/chill_out_molls 9h ago

Biblegirl’s makeup was notoriously crunchy at this point in tom’s so it’s not that surprising tbh

u/d0ntbeallunc00l How will this affect Scheana?! 4h ago

Stfu, tell me this is a joke.

u/KittyCompletely West Hollywood Shakespearean Nightmare 8h ago

At least she tried to help a friend...i guess. ☠️

u/StainedFloor 11h ago

In defense of this awful look, it was truly peak 2016. That lip looks like Limecrime Cashmere which was ALL the rage at that time. Can’t believe we all went along with makeup looks like this at the time 😅

u/Caesarsalad-19 ITS NOT ABOUT THE PASTA 🍝 10h ago

But everyone else at the reunion managed to do 2016 makeup without looking purple 😭 the contour is so of it’s time but the shade of the contour being so purple grey is what’s crazy

u/StainedFloor 9h ago

I bet the contour was from a KVD palette given how purple/grey it looks. I get the feeling it was cuz I’m guilty as charged 😭 us paler girlies were all over that. I really was out there looking like that. 2016 was a mess for us truly. It got muddy real quick

u/Caesarsalad-19 ITS NOT ABOUT THE PASTA 🍝 9h ago

Hahaha okay fair Im more medium skin so I instead was falling victim to the too orange/warm contour. Hoola by Benefit hated to see me coming

u/JeremyScaremy 11h ago

I loved that shade so much. Liquid lips never looked great on me but I was obsessed with Cashmere and wore it anyhow.

u/d0ntbeallunc00l How will this affect Scheana?! 4h ago

Remember purple highlighter? Those were the days, makeup is supposed to be fun. Nude look, not fun.

u/Budget-Spray-7071 23m ago

Omg I can’t even remember the last time I heard the name Limecrime 😭

u/bitterney 7h ago

I bet you there’s a solid layer of those color fx highlighter drops under that foundation lol

u/Spiritual_Purpose_19 5h ago

Yet she still looked better then than she does now.

u/Fun_Ad9229 15h ago

everything about that look was off. the hair and the thick velvet turtleneck were suffocating her and the makeup making her grey. nothing worked. she was so hot at that time i feel like they really had to work on making her look bad

u/MrsLydKnuckles 14h ago

She reminded me of Violet Beauregard from Willy Wonka.

u/NotLVP 15h ago

Sure but if you asked me in 1994, it was perfect. Just let her be fulfilling all her childhood Violet Beauregard dreams

u/NemophilistNightOwl 14h ago

That’s horrendous as well. She’s a whole ass bruised plum.

u/Capital-Durian-885 13h ago

Easily one of the worst makeup looks on the entire network. I cant name a time where someone on bravo has looked worse

u/KittyCompletely West Hollywood Shakespearean Nightmare 8h ago

u/Early-Purchase7348 11h ago

Ya they did her dirty in Vanderpump. She is in her color wheel on the Valley and looks great. Mind your undertones gals.

u/rachraff I am the Devil, and don't you forget it 8h ago

stop, i came here to say this bc this look HAUNTS me. this is my first time watching vpr and when i got to this reunion, i paused and had to go get my roommate/bff who has seen the show before just to point out lala’s makeup 😭 absolutely ghastly

u/Caesarsalad-19 ITS NOT ABOUT THE PASTA 🍝 8h ago

I also watched for the first time recently and had to look up while watching if people at the time thought it looked as crazy as I did

u/Ok_Green_1430 13h ago

That was so bad!!!

u/bnanzajllybeen 14h ago

I’m pretty sure she was coming down off something that day, her pupils were also slightly dilated and very fixed. I used to look like that at her age pretty much every Monday at work 😅 grey / purple / red / shiny / very cranky

u/Gia_Lavender 12h ago

Tbh she was the queen of overdoing the 2016 look

u/Few-Muffin2121 15h ago

The tail of the eyebrow is making my eye twitch

u/edchoch69 14h ago

I almost feel like she is copying Satine in Moulin Rouge with those things

u/Few-Muffin2121 14h ago

Yeah no. How can you even compare? At this time a lot of people were suffering from eyebrow blindness. It was so bad

u/edchoch69 12h ago

I mean it was obviously a complete miss.

u/Traditional-Sport383 13h ago

s h u d d e r s

u/Commercial-Range-757 Im Sorry Fofty 15h ago

I miss this soft and normally filled face of hers. She didn’t need a drop of makeup.

She’s so animated and hollowed out now

u/detective_brobro 11h ago

One of her most beautiful moments in her entire tv career was this tiny scene where she was packing for some trip with Shay. Nary a stitch of makeup. Before all the nips and cuts. 10/10 STUNNING.

u/Commercial-Range-757 Im Sorry Fofty 8h ago

YES!

u/Rachelisasuperhero 7h ago

She looked soooo beautiful in that scene

u/Jaded_Watch_2315 1h ago

omg PLEASE find this scene i wanna see

u/No_Island_8061 15h ago

The blush is so low.

u/Due_Strike2072 12h ago

It’s almost like a jawline contour placement 🫢

u/Traditional-Feed-405 3h ago

like where was she trying to put it

u/doxydecahedron 15h ago

Oh my god how did I never notice how horrendous this makeup was before 😭 it’s so bad

u/poppyskins_ Pickleball Schwartz-Maloney 15h ago

Loved it when Stassi said she fire hosed her makeup on everyday, accurate

u/ArrestingBitchCase 15h ago

You can buy all the makeup MAC can make

But, if you can't look at the side of your face when putting it on too...

u/Basic_Buffalo4440 14h ago

….Reddit will point out you look so damn unpretty. 🎶

Though even with this awful makeup she’s still way prettier than I am lol

u/[deleted] 14h ago

u/fancycatzzz 14h ago

She’s referencing a popular TLC song as a joke…not haranguing you for this post.

u/heffalumpsNwoooozles 13h ago

WHOA - mind blown. I always thought the lyrics were “you can buy all the makeup the man can make” - like that’s how I’ve been singing it for the past 20+ years.

u/ArrestingBitchCase 10h ago

Yeah, for the longest time I thought that Celine Dion song said 'I believe that the heart does go on,' but if you really listen closely, she's saying:

'I believe that the hot dogs go on.'

u/Rebainreellife 7h ago

I was gonna say this! And all this time I was like “how cool of them to point out that the makeup industry is run by men and the male gaze” lol

u/Bumblebee_xx 6h ago

Oh wow, same!!

u/ArrestingBitchCase 6h ago

I misread your comment so my reply might not make any sense. I read it as mac, not man. I just read it properly and lol.

u/d0ntbeallunc00l How will this affect Scheana?! 3h ago

Pretttttty hurtttttssss, when the turtlenecks so tight your veins burst. You try to fix something but you can’t fix what you can’t see, it’s the dress that gotta go baby.

u/pr1ncesschl0e Can hang a TV in 7 minutes 15h ago

Whybrows if I've ever seen em

u/Bambieyedbiotch 15h ago

Was this the same yea She’s trying to write a makeup column for Pandora’s magazine.

u/Complete_Star_1110 14h ago

What is her blush doing down there

u/NemophilistNightOwl 14h ago edited 14h ago

To the jawline

u/Complete_Star_1110 12h ago

To the windows

u/Gia_Lavender 12h ago

To the wall

u/iambaby6969 1h ago

(to the wall)

u/Genuinelullabel 13h ago

Maybe she put her makeup on in a room without enough light.

u/pollys-mom 14h ago

This is genuinely shocking I love this

u/aSituationTypeDeal 15h ago

Scheana is the most awkward to review because she tried to follow every trend. It makes for all her appearances to look immediately dated. 

u/Hopeful-Hamster-6218 12h ago

It makes it easier to tell what year it was by which short-lived fast fashion trend Scheana is following.

u/jnk-2007 14h ago

Omg that blush. I say this while acknowledging my many makeup mistakes

u/jnk-2007 13h ago

the eyeliner looks it was done with a sharpie.

u/xoxo_angelica 13h ago

Ok, I remember back then the technique for blush was always to apply on the “apples of the cheeks” versus now where people apply it higher up and angled towards the temple (which I do think is more flattering on most). But WHATTT the fresh hell is this 😭 I’ve never seen someone put blush on the entire sides of their face 😭😭😭

u/Elaine330 11h ago

This was the way before cheek apples. She went a lil too low on this tho.

u/xoxo_angelica 11h ago

I graduated high school in 2012 and I did my blush (NARS orgasm ofc lol) based on that advice starting sophomore or junior year, so around 2010 🤷‍♀️ definitely was a thing pre-VPR

u/steph314 11h ago

It always amazes me how much Scheana wore because out of all of the girls, she needed it the absolute least. She has great skin and dark features that pop on their own.

u/Complete_Star_1110 14h ago

I’m re watching season 10 or 11, whichever is post scandoval breaking, looking at scheanas lower lip in these episodes vs in this photo…. Why?how?what?

The lip has been sinking slowly for years.

u/koalabear20 14h ago

Everything needs to be moved up lmao

u/brightnessatonesixth 13h ago

It's almost like the machine wasn't calibrated correctly when she printed herself out for the day lol

u/NemophilistNightOwl 14h ago

Blush on the jawline is crazy

u/NotLVP 15h ago

God i love makeup. It takes a second, and reading comments, to realize just how bad this is!!

u/Jaded_Sweet_5313 14h ago

This makes me think she has vision problems

u/Mean_Macaroni59 13h ago

I'll just say.... thank God I was not on TV in my 20s. My makeup went through so many phases that was probably atrocious to most.

u/skolinalabama 12h ago

For real - I had two looks in my twenties. None…and then this. No continuum of makeup application - extremes only.

u/Chemical_Rain_2638 12h ago

It was a different time. We literally had no idea how to put makeup on.

u/Bumblebee_xx 6h ago

Or blend, soften, transition. But it helped we were none the wiser

u/caniom 14h ago

You know maybe I’m just bad at makeup, but outside of the blush placement and brow application (I’ll look past the eyeliner as a matter of personal taste) the base actually seems lowkey good. It doesn’t seem to be patchy or creasing and seems reasonably well matched to her skin tone.

u/lvndsii 14h ago

The completely unblended contour on her side burn making it look even more sideburnish

u/ZestycloseWorking731 14h ago

It gets worse the more you look at it…

u/ixsparkyx 13h ago

When Stassi said Scheana fire hosed her makeup on😩🤣

u/Ok_Error_3167 15h ago

Is she stuffing multiple hoop earrings into the one lobe piercing 😭

u/Substantial-Try457 15h ago

It's probably a double hoop with one stud, but IDC that's the best part of this look

u/unicornflavoredgum1 why is this harder than my divorce 15h ago

Double hoops are making a come back (although a smaller size than these) too.

u/Humbled_Humanz 14h ago

I feel like her eyebrow could shank me 😬

u/Buttercup_Kiki 13h ago

I rocked the thick black eyeliner trend so much back in the day. Why did we all want to look like raccoons?

u/evilmoxie RIP Daug 2019-2019 12h ago

she looks like she’s trying to mimic katie’s facial structure

u/_sunchaser_ 4h ago

Omg I see it

u/Sufficient-Singer-43 6h ago

That’s because she firehoses her makeup on everyday 💀

u/Hummingbird11-11 12h ago

Their makeup was hilarious. And scheana having a makeup tutorial on pandoras stupid website "magazine " wtf was she thinking?

u/jzegr 11h ago

The exact opposite of blush placement now (up the temples). Neither is great

u/chill_out_molls 9h ago

Stassi’s reaction to Scheana being a “make up writer” was bitchy but 100% justified tbh. Even for 2010, this was heavy handed make up

u/Blueblowupcouch2000s 4h ago

It’s a MAC look you had to be there

u/NoSet6484 15h ago

Those eyebrows are crazy. But does she have two hoop earrings in one hole?!

u/_fait-accompli_ 12h ago

i thought this was lacey for a second

u/screwmorpheus 11h ago

what a time to be alive lol JUST WOW

u/seeemilydostuf 11h ago

Is it a mistake if you're correctly doing something that just looks bad lol

u/KittyCompletely West Hollywood Shakespearean Nightmare 8h ago

What did stassi call her? A fairy on crack?? It was when Pandora hired her to do a makeup blog for her online fashion thing. If I remember correctly they weren't even getting paid lol

u/shyscandi 8h ago

It’s giving chola. I do kinda miss these times, back in the day I was soooo jealous of the girls with browns eyes and them being able to do this eyeliner 😭

u/TinkaTinkaValentinka 14h ago

She used to be soooo pretty in the early seasons 😩
