How To Avoid Makeup Mistakes





Applying makeup is an art and most women make big mistakes when they apply makeup on their faces. They want to look beautiful and in doing so they do unusual things. Here are some of the most common makeup mistakes women make while applying makeup and how to avoid them.




The most common mistake women make is to use too much foundation or BB cream. When you put an excessive amount of foundation when making grimaces like laughing, talking or frowning cracks appear and this looks ugly. In this way, women look unattractive and they must keep in mind that hiding the little deformities or pimples with too much foundation never makes them beautiful.




Most of the time girls who know little about makeup use eye shadows in bright, funky colours and they apply them from the start of their eyelids all the way to the eyebrows. Eye shadows put without highlighter and contour line look tasteless. Such eye makeup is not attractive at all. It is much better to use two or three shades, merge them and use contour line and highlighter.


The biggest mistake made while hiding pimples and dark circles. Hiding pimples with a lighter shade of concealer makes them even more prominent. Instead, try a similar shade of concealer as your skin has for hiding pimples and dark spots and to smoothen your skin.




Another mistake that is observed is wearing the colour of foundation that does not match the colour of your skin. Suppose you have a dark complexion and you start using light and whitish foundation. You will look like a mime or clown. Apply foundation that is at most similar to the colour of your face or try that one which blends with your skin colour.




The choice of the best lipstick colour. Consider the type of event or party you are going to attend. Parties in open-air have different requirements for makeup than those conducted in dim lights. The same shade of lipstick never works for every occasion. The too-dark lipstick for parties during the day is not suitable because they ruin your natural looks. Avoid using just 1 colour/shade for your lips for all events.

How Celebs Deal with Hyperpigmentation

Makeup Matters: Sure, you can use movie-grade cover-up and camouflage foundation like Dermablend Cover Creme to hide your hyperpigmentation, but summer is about wearing less. You want to avoid any melted beauty blunders, after all. "Sometimes, I just use a peach waterproof eyeliner directly onto the hyperpigmentation on dry skin, let it set and go about with my normal tinted moisturizer or foundation, then add bronzer," suggested celeb makeup artist Suzie Kim . "A dewy finish refracts light better than a matte finish." If you're in need of more coverage, keep in mind a peach-colored concealer. If you have a darker complexion, go more orange. If the pigmentation is redder in hue, try a green-ish cover-up.  Reminder: This color-correcting step is meant to cover your pigmentation—not your skin—which should then be met with a foundation that matches your natural skin tone.   The Stronger Stuff Helps: If makeup ain't cutting it, you can ...

5 Makeup Artist Brush Tricks

Just as a painter uses brushes to create on a canvas, makeup brushes are must use tools to utilize when painting your face. So here are five best brush tricks to keep in mind. Wash Your Brushes: Always wash your makeup brushes at least once in a week. Washing them preserves the hair and shape, and also remove excess makeup to keep the bristles hygienic. Use liquid soap or shampoo, massage and rinse until the water runs clear. If your brush feels dry and stiff, rub a small amount of olive oil through the bristles before cleaning. This will soften the hair. Blend: The most important secret to keep in mind when using brushes is always focussing on blending. You can take the darkest shadow and turn it into the seamless smokey eye if you blend well enough. Quality vs Quantity: You don't need a huge assortment of brushes for everyday use. The key brushes to have in your collection are a foundation, blush/powder, bronzer, contour and 3 eyeshadow brushes- one for application, one for...
