Makeup application is not an exact science, and everyone can
make mistakes. If you’re not a makeup expert, you probably have no idea what
mistakes you might be making. And even experts can make a mistake or two.
When it comes to makeup, practice makes perfect. The more
you apply makeup, the better you’ll be able to realize which mistakes you’re
making.
To give you a hand, we make a list of all the crucial makeup
mistakes you need to stop making. Let’s check them out.
Mistake #1: No skin prep
One of the most frequent makeup mistakes involves little to
no skin prep before applying makeup. And a solid base is crucial for an amazing
makeup look.
So, always start your makeup routine by prepping your skin.
This means making sure that your skin is clean and hydrated before applying
makeup. If you apply foundation on unprepared skin, you risk leaving the
foundation looking dry and flaky.
The same goes at the end of the day. If you don’t thoroughly
remove the makeup before going to bed, it will clog your pores and you’ll wake
up with blemishes and breakouts.
So, to avoid any issues, ensure you prepare your skin before
makeup and clean your skin after makeup.
Mistake #2: Overly darkening your brows
It can be very challenging to get your brow on fleek on the
first try. And brows are essential for achieving a flawless makeup look. They
not only frame your eyes but also convey expression at first glance.
With that said many people tend to enhance their eyebrows in
the wrong way. They usually overly darken their brows which does nothing for
them.
If you follow makeup trends, you know that eyebrow trends
can change rapidly from thin to thick bold brows. If you want to have perfect
eyebrows with little to no effort, consider consulting with experts from Lash Blossom. They will help you pick a brow look for you and they will also
help you achieve it.
Microblading is a professional semi-permanent tattooing
technique that can ensure you always have your eyebrows on fleek with little
effort on your side.
Mistake #3: Wrong foundation color
Applying the wrong foundation color is a huge mistake. Not
only does it look bad, it looks horrific. If you apply foundation a number or
too lighter than your skin, you will look all washed out. And if you apply too
dark foundation, well let’s just say it will make you look tanned but not in a
good way.
Thankfully, the foundation has come a long way, and today
you have more than just five shades available. Today we have over 50 shades
that you can choose from to match your skin tone. So, make sure you test out
different shades before settling for the first one you come across.
Test out various brands with similar shades instead of sticking
to one brand in different shades. Some formulas may work better for your skin,
so diversity is essential!
Mistake #4: Not blending makeup
Not blending your makeup properly can refer to different
areas of your face. You can make a mistake not blending your foundation well,
your contour, blush, highlight, and even eyeshadow.
Blend, blend, blend to achieve a flawless makeup look. To
blend everything nicely, you need to have the proper tools - beauty blenders,
brushes, sponges, etc. With so many different tools, it can be easy to get
overwhelmed.
If you’re a beginner, we recommend using sponge-based
blenders to even out your makeup and absorb the excess.
Mistake #5: Over-lining your lips
Plump, full lips are very popular these days. But in your
desire to achieve this look, you might make a mistake that will leave you
looking like a clown.
Over-drawn or lined lips are never a good look. If you have
naturally plump lips you can line your lips subtly for a desired effect. If you
want to enhance your lips, consider lip fillers or injections.
And if that’s not for you, you can try over-lining your lips
but only slightly. Don’t try to line more than one outline of your lips to keep
the over-line looking natural. And when doing this, always choose a liner close
in color to your natural lips.
Conclusion
Mistakes are meant to be made because we best learn from
them. But if you want to avoid these makeup mistakes, now you know how.
Remember that skin prep is crucial for a good makeup look,
blending makes all the difference, and over-lined lips and overly darkened
brows aren’t a good look.
