Makeup allows you to put your best face forward. Yet, it is only true if you are doing it right. There are common mistakes that can make your makeup look messy and sloppy. But it’s never too late to correct your makeup mistakes, isn’t it? Take a look at the 4 makeup mistakes you don’t know you are making.
#1 You are not prepping your skin before makeup
Applying makeup on dry skin is one of the biggest makeup mistakes. If you want better makeup, you need to prep it with skincare before applying foundation. First step is to apply a moisturizer and primer all over your face, neck, and along your hairline with clean hands. This helps keep your skin hydrated and smoothes out the texture to keep your foundation from settling into creases. Wait for about 3 minutes before applying the primer to allow the moisturizer to be absorbed by your skin.
#2 Your foundation doesn’t match your skin tone
Wearing the wrong colour foundation is a major beauty blunder because it’s just so easy to spot the mistake. When your face has a different colour from your neck, it looks unnatural. How do you choose the right shade of foundation? Choose a few colours closest to your natural skin tone. Then, simply swipe a sample over your jawline. The shade that blends seamlessly with your skin is the right foundation.
#3 You are not wiping off the mascara brush first
Most mascara brushes pick up a lot of extra product when you pull it from the tube – so much that if you don’t wipe the excess mascara off, your lashes will wind up getting clumpy, flaky, or smudgy. Make sure you wipe the excess off the wand on a clean tissue before application, leaving just enough on the brush for the mascara to do its job. This process prevents lashes from clumping and sticking together.
#4 Your under-eye concealer is too light
Using a shade that is too light for your under-eye concealer will make you look ghostly and it will actually make the area stand out even more. Look for an orange to yellow-based concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin tone if you have blue-tinged and purplish dark circles. On the other hand, if you have brownish dark circles, go for a peach or an orange-based concealer.
