This or That: Rash or Burn?

You head to the salon the morning of your sister’s wedding of which you’re the maid of honor. You've been instructed to get your hair done and nails done, but unfortunately you woke up having one of those ugly days. Not a great feeling on a day when you know you’ll be taking hundreds of pictures in a short, strapless dress. At the esthetician’s urging — and probably because you’re feeling kind of down — you decide to let her throw in a treatment that you weren’t planning on getting. Would it be worse if you . . .

This: Opt to get your brows tidied up with a minor wax and end up with a bright red scabbing burn mark just left of your forehead?

Or . . .

That: Decide to splurge on the exfoliation treatment with your pedicure, which leaves your legs itching and covered in hundreds of raised red bumps?

    i'd definitely go for the rash, at least you could wear some panty hose or something. but either one would suck!!

    a wax on my face is MUCH worse as it will show up in photos. The legs will be covered esp. if my gown or dress is long.

    It would be worst if I ended up with hunreds of red bumps on my legs. Summer is about to be here and I don't wanna have the incident...

    Ew, both would be terrible.

    But in wedding photos, your face is more the focus, so I'd definitely take the rash on my legs.

    I'd go with the burn on my face...I could always cover it up with concealer or foundation.

    That and put on some moisturizer and pantyhose. I'd rather deal with that then someone on my face when I'm going to have a bunch of pictures taken.

    No thanks to the rash. I would have the unconscious need to scratch all the time and that is less flattering than having an injury on my forehead.

    I would rather the rash on my legs. A week before my brother's wedding their dog bit me in the face and broke the skin. It was horrible and I ended up in the emergency room because the bleeding wouldn't stop. I was able to cover almost everything but the swelling a week later on their wedding day but now I look odd in all the pictures because my makeup is so heavy and I typically wear light makeup so it looks off. Not to mention I was really self conscious that night so I don't look like myself.

    Granted that was worse than just a burn from waxing, but I wouldn't want anything to interfere with how my face was going to look.

    man, i got self-conscious when i waxed my arms myself and ripped a patch (ouch, yes!) of skin off. on my face would be the complete worst. besides, legs are easier to hide.

    I thought the rash at first, but if its on my ENTIRE lower half...i might be pretty miserable. I would opt for the small burn.

    The scenario mentions the dress is short. Wearing nylon pantyhose over red, itchy bumps covering the entire length of my legs would be far worse than a small superficial burn near my eyebrow. If your hair is long enough, a good stylist can create a side sweep bang or curl to hide it.

    The rash is worse.

    The burn, not the rash. The rash would be itchy are horrible to deal with all day. Photoshop would take care of any of the burn that the makeup missed.

    Why would you be wearing a short dress to a wedding? Especially if you're in the bridal party.
