Makeup mistakes

June 19, 2009

makeupmistakesWomen often make mistakes when applying makeup to their face.  Most of the time, these mistakes are small and hardly noticeable.  It is important to make sure that these mistakes are minimized to avoid damage to the skin.  By avoiding makeup mistakes, you use less makeup and your skin becomes prettier and healthier over time.

Common mistakes

Choosing the wrong colors is a common makeup mistake.  This mistake can apply to choices of lipstick, powder, lip liner, eye shadow and blush.  Colors that are too dark or too light make your skin look ridiculous.  Colors should suit your skin color and type.

If you have dark skin, a light colored foundation will make your face appear lighter while your hands and neck remain dark.  This effect doesn’t look good at all and is easily noticed by others.

It is important that you avoid this mistake by choosing the right colored foundation that suits your skin color.

Eyelashes are a beautiful facial feature.  Use of mascara on the lashes should be limited to 2 coats, to subtly enhance your look.  Over applying mascara makes you look spidery and clumped up.

Eyebrows express our feelings and moods.  Choosing the wrong shape or wrong color are two of the most common mistakes people make when taking care of their eyebrows.  Eyebrows should be formed according to the shape of the eyes and it is better to see a professional makeup artist and let them do the job.

Other basic tips

It is not a good habit to sleep with makeup on your face.  Our skin is so rich with its own oils that it naturally captures the dirt and dust of the environment.

If the face is not cleaned before sleeping then the pores suffocate, as they have accumulated too much debris.  Therefore, it is imperative that you clean your face every night before going to bed.

Choose a good brand of makeup products so the makeup looks fresh on the face at all times.  Some cheap brands that are readily available melt easily.  Avoid these kinds of brands as they make the face look horrible after awhile.

Furthermore, it is important to take care of the skin properly and avoid using too much makeup.  This will reduce the makeup mistakes that you are likely to make.
