00:00Overwhelming lipstick tones, false eyelash fails, and lip liner errors. The Kardashian-Jenner clan
00:06may all know a thing or two about wearing makeup, but even they make mistakes sometimes.
00:12If there's one thing we love about the Kardashian-Jenner sisters,
00:14it's their willingness to make mistakes. While the family has gone from reality TV
00:18to a household name with various global brands in their empire, their honesty has remained
00:23consistent. Khloe shared in a 2022 interview with Elle,
00:27We're all going to make mistakes. If you don't make mistakes, I think that's weird.
00:30You're supposed to fail."
00:32And while she was talking about life mistakes in general, this wisdom can certainly apply
00:36to the beauty blunders Khloe and her sisters have made over the years. To give credit where
00:41credit's due, the sisters rarely make a misstep when it comes to beauty these days. With so many
00:45cosmetics brands between them, it's hardly surprising that slaying their makeup is part
00:50of their public image. But still, even experts get it wrong from time to time.
00:55As the owner of Skin by Kim, Kim Kardashian is a certified beauty guru. But as we can see from
01:01her look at the 2010 White House Correspondents Dinner, she's gained her expertise through trial
01:06and error. Baking, which involves patting on setting powder to stop your under-eye concealer
01:10from sliding around, works best when you wipe off the excess afterward. Otherwise, you end up with
01:15under-eyes that are unnaturally whitened, like Kim's were that evening. Kim has since released
01:20a few videos detailing exactly how to nail under-eye makeup, so it's safe to say she's
01:25moved on from this mishap.
01:27"...but you'll still see the tone. It'll just, like, block out the blueness and the darkness."
01:33When Kourtney arrived at the premiere party of the fifth season of Keeping Up with the
01:36Kardashians in 2010, she experienced a makeup blunder that many of us know well — the sliding
01:42falsie. A common occurrence with strip lashes, this happens when the glue at the end of the eye
01:47fails to stick, literally leaving your falsies hanging.
01:52Khloe has undergone one of the most drastic style transformations of the Kardashian-Jenner clan,
01:56to the point where her look at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in 2011 barely looks like
02:01the Khloe we know. One of the biggest changes is her makeup game. Now, smoky siren eyes aren't
02:06inherently bad, but they should be paired with neutral and muted makeup elsewhere on the face,
02:11to strike a balance. The issue here is that Khloe paired her dramatic black eyeshadow and liner
02:17with highly pigmented blush and bronzer, and looking back, the intense combo is giving stage
02:22makeup rather than glamour. Yes, it feels blasphemous to call out Kylie for anything
02:27makeup-related, but the Kylie Cosmetics founder committed an error at a 2022 launch party for her
02:32beauty line when an Instagram pic posted by Colt Poulsen showed her with eye-catching lip liner,
02:37and not in a good way. The contrast between her rose-toned lipstick and dark brown liner is so
02:42intense that it's difficult not to gawk. Listen, 2011 was a different time. We'd just left behind
02:49the 2000s and the decade's notorious concealer lips craze. But since it was technically the
02:54new era of the 2010s, we can't give Kourtney a pass for these muted lips, which she wore to
02:59Avril Lavigne's Spring 2012 Abby Dawn fashion show. Though we appreciate the subtle shine,
03:04the tone is too close to her skin color for comfort. Since Kourtney was dressed in clean
03:08black and white, this was a missed opportunity to pull off a bold lip.
03:12Pairing a red lip with a yellow dress isn't a fashion faux pas on its own,
03:16but there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, this bright color combo lends itself to a sprightly
03:22look, which in Kim's case may have missed the mark if she was going for formal at the
03:25Cinema Against AIDS gala in 2011. Secondly, because these tones are so overwhelming on
03:31their own, their pairing means the rest of your makeup should remain minimal. Instead,
03:35Kardashian crossed the line with a dramatic wing and full-glam lashes.
