Have you ever done your makeup and feel like something looks off or odd?? This may happen when you had done something with a wrong technique. We all do mistakes and then we learn from our mistakes. So I am here with some of the most common makeup mistakes that we all have done when we started doing makeup or some of us still do that. You can take your makeup game to a whole new level just by bringing these small changes In your techniques.
1. Using wrong primer
Most of us usually focus on the right foundation but we forget to use a right primer and moisturizer.using the right primer will not only make your makeup last longer but your makeup will look flawless than ever. If you have an oily skin then you have to avoid moisturizers and primers which has oil into it instead use a mattifying primer and an oil free moisturizer. Similarly if you have dry skin then go for oil primers or hydrating primers which will keep your skin moisturized and hydrated throughout the day.
2. Not picking up the right foundation shade
You always have to be careful while choosing your foundation because that’s the base of your makeup after prepping and priming. You’re your undertone then choose your foundation accordingly. A quick tip ; whenever you visit a store to get your perfect match then don’t try your foundation in yellow lights. Wear the foundation on your face, keep it for 15 to 20 minutes and see it in natural light ,this way you will know if it matches your skin tone or not. Choosing a darker shade can make you look dull and choosing a lighter shade can make you look ashy or grey.
3. Not blending properly
Blending is the key when it comes to makeup. The basic rule is there should be no lines visible on your face or eyes (except the eyeliner obviously). From your eyeliner to your contouring everything should look seamless and flawless. There must be no harsh lines on your face or on eyes. Blend the edges of your eyeshadow to blend everything together and use the right brushes for that. Try blending the edges of your cream contour and highlight with damn sponge to blend everything together.
4. Box eyebrows
This is the most common mistake I have seen people doing. First you have to understand from where your eyebrows are supposed to start, where you have the arch of your brows and where it ends. Use a shade which is similar or close to your eyebrow colour. Don’t shape your brows with a color which is too dark or too light for your brows. Your brows are lighter where it starts and gets darker as we move forward . fill the starting of your brows with very light strokes and as you move along give your brow that ombre effect by following the natural shape.
5. Using too much of everything
Use just how much your face needs and your skin can handle.too much of foundation will eventually make your face lookheavy and cakey. Too much of concealer will make your under eyes dry and will make your fine lines appear even more. Too much of highlighter will make it look like your highlighter is sittin right on your face and it will look very obvious that you are wearing too much of everything. So keep everything light or moderate and natural.
