6 Most Common Makeup Mistakes
- 2 min reading time
We all know how to apply our daily makeup, but it's still easy to make a mistake. In this article, you'll read about the 6 most common makeup mistakes, so you never have to make them again!
1. Too dry face
Applying makeup to (too) dry skin is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. It makes your face look dull and cracked. You need a good base for applying your daily makeup. In this case, that is a well-hydrated face. For example, apply this hydrating day cream from Embryolisse before you start your makeup routine.
2. Bad light
To determine which makeup products work for you or not, it is best to test this in natural light beforehand. If you do this in unnatural light, you will notice that it looks a lot less flattering than you had hoped. Always choose which products suit you in the best possible lighting.
3. Not using the right blending technique
Makeup is much more than just dabbing on your blush or eyeshadow. Even when using neutral colors, it can look unnatural unless you blend it well. The key to natural-looking makeup lies in mastering a good blending technique. Invest in a few good makeup brushes, for example the Ultimate Pro Brushes from Boozyshop.
4. Too much foundation
Too much foundation will not do your face any good. It can make your makeup look unnatural. Make sure you don’t apply too much and that you use the right color for your skin. Don’t use a foundation that is lighter than your skin tone. This will accentuate the imperfections and fine lines on your face. And always remember to blend it well. Make sure you also apply it to your neck and ears, you don’t want to see a color difference.
5. Unnatural eyebrows
Beautifully shaped eyebrows can accentuate your eyes beautifully. However, eyebrows that are too thick can look sloppy and unkempt. On the other hand, eyebrows that are too thin do not flatter your eyes either. Your look will be completely changed. The last thing you want is for your eyebrows to look drawn on and unnatural. An eyebrow pencil works best to give them a natural look.
6. Lashes Glued Together
Spider legs and lashes that are stuck together are the things we want to stay away from. Never apply more than two or three coats, otherwise your lashes will look extremely clumpy. Waterproof mascara is great for when it rains, but it is not a good idea to use it every day. Waterproof mascara is much harder to remove and your lashes can fall out faster. If you want to use waterproof mascara, only do so during the summer months.
