5 Makeup Mistakes You Are Definitely Making

When you do your makeup the same way for a long time, you can get into habits that are hard to break. You might even be making mistakes and not even realizing it, so here are ten of the most common mistakes that people make with their makeup. Check them out and see if you are guilty of a makeup sin!

# Too much blush

Blush is supposed to give you a healthy glow and add freshness to your face, not make you look like a clown! When applying blush, always consider your skin tone. Fair skin looks good with rosy or pink tones and darker skin looks great with darker tones like plum or berry. Always blend in well; it should look like it almost melts into your skin.

# Poor choice of foundation

There is a huge choice of foundations available on the market, so it’s not surprising that many people chose the wrong shade. When buying a foundation, look for a colour that blends in with your natural skin tone seamlessly and remember, you can use more than one shade to create the perfect look. Be careful not to overdo foundation, though, or it will look cakey.

# Applying foundation to dry skin

It doesn’t matter how creamy your foundation looks, it is not going to conceal dry and flaky skin. If you do have dry skin, moisturize day and night, or otherwise foundation will only highlight the problem and make your skin look tired and older.

# Not using primer on oily skin

If you have oily skin, then never skip the primer. Use a matt effect primer, before applying any foundation and it will help to combat any shine on your face. It’s also a good idea to take some blotting wipes with you when you go out, for a quick touch up, when needed.

# Being too timid with makeup

Makeup is there to make you look good not to hide you away. Don’t be too timid with makeup and don’t be afraid to experiment. If your makeup makes you feel good and fills you with self-confidence, then that makeup is good makeup.
