My Embarrassing Beauty Blunder

I had a Tae Kwon Do grading today. I had to clean for an open house and then leave the house by 9.45am. I was rushing all morning, then after my shower, pulled on my uniform, dealt with frizzy hair and at the last minute I grabbed a black waterproof mascara, gave my lashes a little swipe and then a little dab of lip gloss.

My beauty blunder

When arrived at the venue and I was a bundle of nerves. I love Tae Kwon Do but I hate grading. I hate people looking at me, watching every move and judging me. But I love new belts, I love learning the new stuff that comes with the new grade and I love training with my girls. So I suck it up.

It was hot, I was sweating. I started stuffing up my patterns, everything was going wrong, I WAS FREAKING OUT!

People were whispering, pointing and giving me a look you only save for the unhinged. I presumed it was because I was stuffing everything up and starting to fall apart. Then people started trying to give me subtle, little signals. My daughters were desperately trying to give me a message with their eyes between spars. I knew something was up.

It turns out my mascara wasn’t waterproof. It was under my eyes, above my eyebrows, across my nose. Who knew one little swipe could travel so far.

So not only was I shit at the moves, I looked like an angry raccoon.

I need to have a giggle about my embarrassing moment and I’d love you to help. Have you had a beauty blunder? What was it?
