Michelle Keegan discusses her biggest beauty fail (and it may have happened to you too)

NEVER again.

Oh NO.

False eyelashes can be tricky, get them right and your makeup looks stunning but if the application process goes wrong, you’re in trouble.

Michelle Keegan always looks impeccable and it’s hard to imagine her experiencing a beauty fail.

However, the actress admitted recently that she suffered a rather noticeable makeup mistake at the 2011 National Televison Awards.

In a Facebook Live interview with Glamour UK today, which you can check out in full here, someone watching the feed asked Michelle what her “funniest make blunder was”.

The 29-year-old spoke about how she was wearing a “big purple dress” around the time she first started working on Coronation Street and, wait for it, “instead of eyelashes, she wore feathers”.

Although it wasn’t her idea, Michelle went along with the idea and now she looks back and thinks “WHAT was I wearing?!”.

In fairness, they were a trend at the time but looking back, we have to wonder how this ever caught on.

During the Q&A, the Our Girl star shared some interesting info including her first job, her favourite products, and even her bridal makeup recommendations.

Check out the feathers below in all their glory.
