I genuinely cannot remember any beauty products getting the wrong end of either Mellan or Winston’s mouth on accident, lol! Winnie still hasn’t earned total freedom in the house because he IS that dog that will grab something he shouldn’t. I know Winnie grabbed a Sonia G brush one time, but he dropped it quickly so no damage was done, thankfully!

Sunshine (my first lab) got a dior lipstick i had on a table as a puppy. Rowdy got a small speaker near the music system and destroyed it but that is not makeup!
My dog was a pretty good boy most of the time, but I once caught him with a tube of mascara in his mouth. I was able to take it away before he could do any real damage.
When my dog was just a baby, he hopped up onto my chair, onto my desk and grabbed a lip balm because I guess he liked the packaging. I left the room for 30 seconds, came back, and he was surrounded by fragments of it looking up at me so proud of himself.
I haven’t had a pet destroy any makeup, but my orange tabby just loves to take my makeup brushes (usually something fluffy like an inexpensive blush brush) and run with them. Of course, it’s a game to make me chase him and take the brush away, only to have him take it again. I get so caught up in the play that more often than not, I start tossing the brush for him to chase until he gets bored of it. Seeing my baby happy means more to me that any brush (although I don’t let him “keep” it since it’s not a kitty-friendly toy).
I don’t think my cats have ever destroyed any makeup item. I, however, have dropped, crushed, lost, and otherwise ruined quite a few. I am the menace in my house, not the cats.
None of my German shepherds ever touched my things. My little son, who’s 2, takes the lipsticks out of the plastic bin and just brings them to mommy saying “Mommy’s toy! Mommy’s toy”. He never destroyed any of my makeup either, although my palettes are in a locked container, which he’s unable to open. He thinks my eyeshadow palettes are paints, and I know what he’s gonna do with them when I’m not watching. So I’m not willing to risk them, lol.
Shortly after moving from Phoenix to Scottsdale, I purchased my 2nd higher end eyeshadow palette ever, Urban Decay Vice 2. Very FIRST time using it, my very large Maine Coon Cat mix Scunci made a very unanticipated, nearly heart attack inducing leap onto the bathroom counter and directly into the OPEN palette! Thank goodness that I have super fast reflexes, because the only “damage” was several back claw dings in 3 or 4 shades. Afterwards, I just sprayed it with alcohol and pressed them back into place.
Previous to this mishap, there was only one notable one where my son, then around 2½-3 years old, DRANK an entire bottle of my Revlon Color stay foundation! We frantically called the poison center who reassured us that the problem might be some stomach upset or constipation, and likely nothing to worry about. His dad and I were laughing about it years later, though!
Many years ago for my birthday my husband bought me an expensive perfume that I loved. My son was around 3 at the time, he took the bottle and emptied it in his room, I only used it once and money was tight so I didn’t replace it. I guess he just liked the perfume as much as me lol!
I did something similar when I around the same age. My parents were taking a nap on Christmas Day and I dumped my mom’s brand new bottle of White Shoulders all over the floor. She still likes to remind me of this mishap, lol.
RIP Beauty Blender! It had fallen into the floor and was too much temptation for my Boston terrier, lol. In her defense, I get how she thought it was a toy for her!
My darling Rottweiler, Chaos, ate a pink spongey washcloth I used for removing makeup. He would eat anything. I miss the big lug.
Olivia, when she was little, helped herself to my UD Vice 2 eyeshadow palette, sitting in our bath in the ensuite, she mixed the numerous black shades with a few of the lighter colours and it was so hard to get the black glitter out of them that I actually tossed the palette.
My German shepherd chew delightfully through a limited edition Suqqu lipstick – lovely coral shade Shakuka – sending me to a googling frenzy on possible poisonous ingredients for dogs and where to get a backup of the lipstick. And the beautylish year of the rat brush bears gentle marks of his teeth. He was so proud though 🙂
Nothing since my younger son used to get into my makeup in the early 2000s. I locked it all up and got him his own to play with.
I’ve always kept everything locked away from the cats.
My mini dachshund got into my purse and literally ate my Clinique Almost Lipstick. Chewed up the metal case. Just annihilated it. Ate every scrap of the contents. She appears to love lip products as much as I do. When I wear lip balm or lipstick, she tries to get right up in my face to smell it. I now keep my purse far from her reach.
When my daughter (now 39 years old!) was little, she got hold of a very new, very bright, very waterproof cream blush from Estee Lauder. She literally dug into it and rubbed it thickly all over her face!!!! I had quite a time getting it off, especially around her eyes.
I’ve not had any makeup destroyed or even touched by any of my dogs.
Stubbs did ruin other things, like a cell phone, some books, and almost destroyed a remote to the TV. He was very bite-y when he got his permanent teeth, shelves, tables, chairs and even the walls got nice marks from his teeth. I now love that he mad permanent marks on things, my miniature Schnauzer Maserati never bit anything, and the only marks he left are a few hardly noticeable scratches on my car.
This has never happened to me! My son has never once gotten into my makeup without me next to him.
My malamute in the 80s loved it all, pawed at me, etc. The only way to stop her was to give her some. Shadow on her eyespots and blush. Then she’d prance around with a hackney gait. The strange thing was that she knew if it was brush only and sulked. She was the essence of HBIC.
When she was younger and more flexible my cat Oreo would gnaw on some of my makeup brushes so I had to keep them in a drawer. I decided to try a beauty blender but that only last a few days when I came home to find remnants of it all over the bathroom. My cat Midnight likes to chew on the corner of my books if I am late getting up to feed the zoo crew so a lot of my books and some of the library books I have checked out have little tooth marks in the upper corners. We got a puppy last year and although Moonpie has eaten any cosmetics he has chewed on one of our couch cushions and the other morning I discovered a hole in the arm of my sweater- after I had put it on at work!
Just the other day, my cat Maggie knocked over some things from my desk, one of which was a little plastic cup-thing from Daiso, and one of the decorative “legs” (I really don’t know how to describe this object, lol) broke off. Thankfully it was empty at the time so I could clean it (I usually would use it to hold brushes or pencils), and I’ll probably be able to glue the foot back on. She’s always getting up to nonsense, though…
