This happened probably about a year or two ago but I just remembered it now. Not super scarring or embarrassing but enough to make me much more cautious about putting things on my face.
Foreword: I'm pale. Very pale. Buying makeup in the right shade is difficult.
So one day I was just casually going through drawers in my bathroom. Most of the things there are my mom's. It's not like I was snooping through her things, they weren't private and I was just bored. I came across a Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. Failing to notice where it quite clearly said "DESIGNED FOR MEDIUM SKIN TONES", I excitedly put it all over my face despite the slightly toxic smell. My skin was somewhat dry at the time, so why not try it? I didn't notice until the next day when I looked in a dressing room mirror that my face was much tanner than the rest of me. Thinking back on it, it probably couldn't have been that bad considering no one commented and I had applied it just once, but it felt quite obnoxious and noticeable for me at the time. I'm pretty sure it lasted for just a couple days though.
tl;dr I ignored where a moisturizer explained that it was for darker skin than mine, had a tan face that didn't match the rest of me for a few days.
