A teenager has been left furious after discovering that her mom stole and damaged beauty products she bought while visiting Korea.

In a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, the 19-year-old revealed her mom, 56, had been impressed by her color-correcting cosmetics after she gave her a makeover "for fun" a day before their heated exchange.

Having explained how the makeup works, the teenager said her mom voiced a desire "to use it from now on" to disguise dark spots and irritation.

"She then says 'I’m going to use it tomorrow before I leave for church in the morning,'" the teen wrote, speaking about her mom. "I tell her 'PLEASE wake me up and have ME put it on you.' I was extremely nervous about this because she has a history of using my makeup without asking me and 99% of the time she uses products incorrectly and damages them. "

"So, I told her I’d rather she not use mine at all but if she insisted, to have me there to make sure she doesn’t f--- up my products that I paid for," she added.

Before going to bed, the teen considered hiding her makeup bag from her mother to prevent her from using the pricey products without supervision. However, she ultimately decided to have a little faith that her mom wouldn't tamper with her belongings.

"The morning rolls around and I wake up to see her already rummaging through my products in my room," the teen said. "I say '??? Did you already use my color corrector?? ' and she says 'yeah!'

“I bolt up and look at it and am horrified to find that she’s done everything I was scared she’d do,” the teen continued. “She didn’t know how much of the product to use, so she overshot and now there are two humongous craters in the product.”

On top of that, her mom decided to mix the two color-correcting materials together to get the best of both worlds, “So now the entire product is just this ugly, muddy mess,” the teen wrote.

When asked why she didn’t wait for her daughter's help, the mother responded she tried to wake her but without any success.

“I told her to get out of my room and kicked her out,” the teen wrote. “She yelled at me, saying that I was overreacting over nothing, and slammed my door on her way out.”

The teen confessed she spent the rest of the morning in floods of tears over the ruined products.

“Can’t she see the product clearly has the color separated into their own sections?” the teen wrote. “You can SEE from the fact there is no mixing that I’ve used this product intentionally not mixing the colors…SO WHY WOULD SHE THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO MIX THEM????”

The post was flooded with comments from people reassuring the teen that she was right to confront her mom.

One person argued her mom should replace the damaged makeup, while another urged the teen to hide all of her remaining beauty products.

"She broke her promise and ruined something that belonged to you," a third chimed in. "I'm the same way, I'm very careful about my things, in particular my makeup. It's not just about it being special or expensive (which I completely understand) but it's a hygiene issue for me too. I can't even imagine how you felt and I don't think you overreacted."
