What was your last makeup application fail? What went wrong? How did you fix it?

What was your last makeup application fail? What went wrong? How did you fix it?

I was trying to create a brighter eye look using a lot of matte shades, and they just did not layer and blend well together – I had patches of product missing in my crease. I couldn’t fix it, so I had to start over entirely and go with a different set of shades and layout.
