Beyoncé Said It Best: Pretty Hurts

If being beautiful is so hard why does Pinterest have to make it look so easy? People will always go to nutty extremes to try and perfect themselves (sometimes to their own detriment). Beauty tips and secrets are constantly being passed about on social media, and just like any good #PinterestFail they're are some major #BeautyFails out there. The hidden message? Don't believe everything you read, and be careful when it comes to your body and your beauty, otherwise you might end up like one of these girls...
