Top 10 Makeup Mistakes

Everybody wants to look beautiful either naturally or through makeup. There are a few points to be borne in mind while using makeup in order to achieve the desired results. The following are the mistakes to be avoided.

1. Using incorrect shade of foundation. The common mistake is to wearing shade that is either too light or too dark. It would make the body and face appear in different colors.

To avoid this, the shade should be tested in natural light, if not at least match the one closest to the body shade. It’s always better to go for one shade lighter than shades too dark for the skin. Other wise a moisturizer could be applied on the skin and a cover-up or foundation should be applied where ever needed.

2. Most people try to cover up their zits. It’s better to leave it alone with a layer or two of concealer.

3. Most people wear too much make up especially as grow older. But at this age, its better to let the natural skin glow with a nice lip gloss, mascara and little of cover up wherever required. This would give a younger look.

4. Many women try to define their lips using dark lip liners. This gives an awful appearance instead of definition. It’s better to go for natural lip liner color.

5. In an attempt to have shapely eyebrows the generally tendency is to ignorantly either under pluck or over pluck. It’s better to get them done through beauticians and maintain it by plucking them to keep down the costs of visiting beauty saloon.

6. Mascaras kept for six months or older when used on the lashes sticks them together instead of separating them. These are called Spider lashes. To avoid this, mascaras should be changed every three months and the brush should be cleaned off the clumps.

7. Lots of people suffer due to frizzy hair. This can be solved using Frizz Ease or blow drying hair naturally or with a blow dryer.

8. In an attempt to self tan many end up with streaks. To avoid this, ensure to exfoliate, use lotion and spread it everywhere without missing a spot. Also, once done hands should be cleaned with soap and water.

9. The eye make up always fades and runs after a while. To make it last longer, ensure not to apply moisturizer near the eyes. Instead once the eye liner is done, powder should be dabbed on it to keep it in place for a long time.

10. A popular mistake is to try new looks which really does not suit the person. Every individual knows while getting new look done, whether they can carry themselves to suit the look or not. So better to go for the ones that’s more to ones self rather than attempt at something different and become a laughing stock.
