FAILS

Makeup is an art, especially when it's done well. I guess that's why they call them makeup artists. But sometimes, it's a failed art form, and the amateurs give the professionals an awful rep. These women whose makeup totally backfired on their faces, whether it was their wrongdoing or a makeup artist's failed attempt, we can only scroll through and feel sorry for these poor ladies. Better luck next time, eh?

Nowadays, travel is basically a thing of the past. I don't even remember what it's like to go to the grocery store two miles away from me, never mind visit another country. But back in the days when travel was allowed, and we were free to go on adventures and freely explore the world's wonders, people's vacations didn't always go to plan. So, to make ourselves feel better about being stuck at home, here are some pictures of people whose vacations were a total fail, especially when it came to the views they trekked across the world to see.

You're probably all familiar with 'Instagram VS reality'; the concept that things are never as Instagram perfect behind the scenes as they appear in the finished product. Well, this isn't just something that influencers suffer from. Babies also have a hard time living up to the Pinterest-esque photoshoot ideas that their parents had in mind for them. After all, it's not easy telling a newborn baby to give their best duck face! Check out these hilarious but adorable baby photoshoot fails, and don't tell me your heard isn't melting.

Weddings are meant to be a time of joy and a celebration of love. A couple getting together surrounded by their friends and family, declaring their love and making it official, is certainly something beautiful. But sometimes, it's not that simple. Throw in a bridezilla, a mother-in-law who wears white, and lots of alcohol, and you've got yourself a bit of a sh*tshow. But what's a wedding without some drama, right? Check out these wedding stories that are so bad they deserve all the shaming they can get. I know I'm cringing reading through them!

The majority of people don't think twice about what they wear when they go to the supermarket; in fact, most people just about get out of their pajamas for the occasion. But it turns out that one thing you do need to consider when getting dressed the morning of your supermarket shop is the color of your clothing. Because supermarkets have uniforms and wearing the color of those uniforms will likely result in fellow customers assuming you work there - something these people didn't think about when they wore red shirts to Target. Check out their hilarious Tweets documenting their experiences of being confused for employees.

Hide and seek is an age-old game that can go one of two ways: really well, or really badly. We've bought you horror stories of adults playing hide and seek that went wrong, but here are some pictures of kids who failed at playing the game equally as bad, but differently. You know the drill... they can't see you, so they think you can't see them. Bless their little souls. Scroll through and chuckle at how badly these kids got it. 

Doing laundry is a basic, necessary life skill, that clearly not everyone has been blessed with. People have shared pictures of their laundry nightmares, and it makes you wonder just how hard these people were trying to get it wrong. I mean, surely it's just a matter of putting the clothes in the washing machine, pressing a button and letting it do its thing? Clearly I'm missing something because these fails prove otherwise.

We've shown you some pretty outrageous beauty blunders in the past. From glitter armpits to ridiculous manicure designs, there's something for everyone when it comes to makeup and beauty. And sure enough, here's another one that made us say "What. The. F?" If you love glitter and you love showing off your butt, then the latest #glitterbutt trend is for you. Enjoy scrolling through these glorious pictures of people smearing glitter all over their behinds. Don't say we don't treat you!

Photography is a skill that not everyone excels in. Unless you've got an eye for capturing the perfect shot, the likelihood is that you'll go through life taking average pictures. But sometimes you get lucky and take that once in a lifetime shot that can only be explained by chance and good luck—the picture that captures something too fast for the eye to see. Here are some photographs people took where timing was on their side and allowed them to take the perfectly timed moment. 

Dating isn't easy and involves a roller coaster of emotions. Whether it's a serious relationship or a casual one-night stand, love and sex can get extremely messy. Together with The Single Society — the blog that brings hilarious, horrible, and awkward real-life stories from women currently navigating the world of online dating in New York City — we bring you 10 stories from real women of their worst one-night stand fails. We feel bad laughing at their misfortune, but hey, at least bad dates make great stories, right?

Fashion changes throughout the ages. What was cool once, we'd no longer be seen dead in - until it eventually makes a comeback, of course. But there are some things that should never come back into style, especially these bold fashion statements from the 00s. If you grew up in the decade that brought us layering tank tops, wearing dresses over jeans, and matching Juicy velour tracksuits, then you'll relate to the pictures below. Are you looking back at cringing like us?

There's a subreddit called r/techsupportgore, and its name perfectly describes its content: people who fix computers upload photos of the nightmarish scenarios they find themselves in. From melted extension cords to server rooms that look like a jungle, some of these hardware disasters are so bad, you can't help but feel for the folks who have to fix them. So continue scrolling, check out the pics, and don't be surprised if you cringe to the brink of passing out after only a few of them.

Growing up, we're always told it's the effort that counts and not the final result. That as long as you put effort into something, that's all that matters even if you fail. And that's certainly what these people thought, who tried being smart but unfortunately failed miserably. Enjoy browsing through these hilarious pictures of people who need to just try a little harder next time. 

School is a place to learn, but it's also a place to make mistakes. Because that's how you learn, right? Ideally, those mistakes happen on the down low, like when you get an answer wrong in a test. But sometimes, they happen very publically and the cringe-worthy moment will live on forever in the minds of everyone who saw it. Awkward school presentations are a great example of the public humiliation endured in school and an AskReddit thread listing examples of the "please stop" school presentations that people have witnessed revealed some real gems. Here are some of the funniest.

Games are a great way to pass the time, especially during our current lockdown situation. They provide an opportunity for friends and families to bond, whether they're played in person, online or via video chat (unless it's Monopoly, which, for the sake of peace in the home, we wouldn't recommend during lockdown). But being in lockdown means that some games, such as hide and seek, are harder to play. After all, how many times can you hide in the same three spaces? Oh, how we took it for granted. As a throwback, an Ask/Reddit thread asking people to share stories of how their games of 'hide and seek' went horribly wrong, before coronavirus took over the world of course. It revealed how quickly games can go from a bit of innocent fun, to horribly wrong. Here are some of the most shocking stories. 

Well, it's safe to say that no one is getting married any time soon. Not unless they want to stand two meters away from each other and whoever is officiating the ceremony, with no guests in attendance and not have a party. Sounds like it would make one big ol' giant wedding fail right? Well, back in the day before corona happened (does anyone remember that?), weddings didn't always go that smoothly either. Here are some more wedding fails for you to cringe at, while you distract yourself from the fact that life seems to have stopped for now.
