5 Bad Makeup Habits You Need to Stop Doing
When we apply our makeup, our face becomes a canvas of the artist and the stash in our makeup bag are paints, pencils, and brushes in any form, contributing to our beautiful makeup creation of a work of art.
Still, unless you are a professional in this field, there are many makeup mistakes that can spoil our final appearance,
instead of highlighting the best features of our natural beauty. Try to avoid this five makeup mistakes, that we have selected for you.
-You go to bed with your makeup on
This is by far one of the biggest beauty sins.
We are all guilty of having slept in our makeup at least once or twice.
We are often too tired and lazy to put a little bit of effort into our skin.
When you don’t feel like washing your face in the night keep this in mind:
Sleeping with your makeup on will create the perfect environment for pimples
By leaving your makeup on your face all night, you are creating the perfect environment for pimples,
will clog your pores which hold onto bacteria and may cause acne, breakouts, irritations and even skin aging.
Remember that your skin is delicate and should be treated carefully.
-You apply to much brush
Try to avoid applying bright brush shade onto the most convex part of your apples.
Instead, put the brush on the cheekbones and it will make your face look much slimmer.
Never apply the brush directly on your face, make sure to tap off the excess from the makeup brush you are using.
This way you will control the shade intensity and the product will spread smoothly and less visible because the blush
should work as a subtle compliment to the rest of your makeup and should not be the first thing people notice on your face.
Stay away from bright, contrasting colors that aren’t meant to look natural, unless you are not makeup artist and know exactly
what you are going to do with it.
-You are using too dark shade for your eyebrows
We all know that picking a brow shade may be very difficult and tricky.
A pretty pair of eyebrows is a great way to frame your face, but going too dark with your eyebrow color would not give you a definition.
Choose the brow powder in a closest as possible shade to the color of your eyebrow hair.
If you have darker hair, then pick an eyebrow shade in one to two shades lighter than your natural hair color.
If your hair is lighter, you should do the opposite, which is choosing a brow shade one to two color darker as your natural hair.
If you have red hair, try brow shade in a brown undertone.
You can use a tinted brow gel, brow gel, brow pencil, brow powder using a brow brush and etc. it is up to you.
-You are overdoing it with the lip liner
We know how sexy and desirable the fuller lips look, but we are not all born with them. There are many tricks and tips how to make
our lips appear bigger, but often we are all making the same mistake. Overdrawing your lip line way to far from your natural lip shape is one of the most common mistakes when it comes to the creating the illusion of fuller lips.
Overdoing your lip line may look really harsh and it may make the fine lines around your mouth more noticeable, so if you want your lips to look fuller go slightly out site your natural lip line using a lip pencil in most approaching shade than your lip tone.
-The same foundation throughout the year
Your skin changes color during the seasons. Logically, in the summer you need to use at least one shade darker foundation and in the winter season, you have to switch to a lighter foundation shade, as your tan disappears little by little.
For the spring/summer pick a foundation with high SPF value and long lasting effect.
For the autumn/winter pick a foundation with high moisturizing effect to prevent any skin dryness.
