A WOMAN has shared her dismay after making a waxing mistake just 24 hours before her wedding day.
Sara Challenor wanted to look her best on her big day, but left some of the preparations to the last minute.
The bride-to-be decided to get her eyebrows and upper lip waxed the day before her wedding, but it didn’t go quite to plan.
Taking to TikTok, she raged: “Look at the state of me!”
Sara revealed that after her appointment her face had turned bright red.
She said that this had never happened to her before and questioned whether it was because she had her eyebrows waxed and not threaded.
“Imagine this doesn’t go down!” she cried, her mouth wide-open as she pictured walking down the aisle with a raspberry-coloured face.
Sara added that her lip had gone numb after the treatment.
However, she managed to stay positive about the whole thing and said that she found the situation funny.
Sara’s video, which was posted under the username @saramay1995, has likely left many people in stitches, as it has racked up over 596,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts, with many questioning why she left her waxing appointment so late.
One person said: “You’re supposed to get waxed 7 days before so your skin settles before applying makeup.”
Another person said: “Use a cold compress on it.
“A cold Paper towel will work fine”.
A third person said: “Take an anti-histamine and put a cold compress on all night.
“I wouldn’t put anything else on that you aren’t used too in case it makes it worse.”
Fabulous's Digital Editor, Lydia Major, has shared her thoughts as a former bride on what to buy - and what not to buy - a couple for their big day.
I’m a traditionalist so I love to go to a wedding with a list. A list where the price points vary, the prezzies are a mix and there’s something for everyone. The joy of a list is we know the bride and groom want these things and we know no one else will buy the same – for me, that’s a win-win. I got married 8 years ago and still remember who bought us a certain photo frame or the posh-plate that only comes out at parties.
But, that being said, if someone doesn’t have a list I still would NEVER turn up empty handed. That’s plain rude. Even if the wedding cost an arm and a leg to get there. A wedding takes months, if not years,of planning, costs a fortune and it’s one of the best days out and the best parties you ever go to, so a small gesture of thanks is essential.
I still remember those who didn’t even bring a card to mine!
Also I don’t think a couple should ever quibble if guests want to give you a wedding present that’s not on your list – older generations, in particular, may feel this is more personal.
To be honest, it’s weddings where the couple want money contributed to their honeymoon or their house fund that makes me feel awkward. Is £50 tight, £150 too lavish? Where’s the benchmark? I spend weeks agonising over it talking to anyone or everyone going and then normally take a stab in the middle.
So for me – always go for a list, stick to the list and let the list be your guide!!
A fourth added: “If it doesn’t go down, green concealer conceals redness.”
Thankfully, Sara’s redness appeared to go down as the following day, she posted a stunning picture of herself in her wedding gown, with her face looking back to normal.
Posing beside her new husband, she captioned it: “Mrs Challenor!”
