10 Most Common Makeup Mistakes & How To Fix Them

So, following is the list of most common 10 makeup mistakes and how to fix them –

1. Wrong shade of foundation – This is one of the makeup mistakes which we all have done once or twice in our life. Wearing a wrong foundation shade is like a crime. You either end up looking ashy or too white. So, how to fix this??? Try testing the foundation on the jaw line. And then try the foundation under the normal lights outside the store. Keep it on your face for some hours before making the final decision.
2. Not prepping my skin – Another most common mistake which we all do. Now, dry skinned beauties should know that before applying any product you should do some back end preparation too. This involved well scrubbed and moisturised skin. So, always keep a light foundation or primer handy. Oily girls should use a mattifying primer and foundation to avoid looking like an oil slick.
3. Blushing with the wrong shade of blush – Now, we all think that blushers will emphasize our cheek bones. But when you end up applying wrong blusher shade then it looks quite ashy. So, what you should do is that just pinch your cheeks a bit the colour which appears there on cheeks is the shade of the blusher you should go for.
4. Applying too much bronzer – Everyone wants chiselled cheeks but using too much of bronzer is not a solution. This will make you look very tanned, muddy and dark. So, try to use bronzer only 1-2 shades darker than foundation or your normal skin.
5. Not cleaning your brushes – This is one of the essential makeup tool which we tend to ignore. After every usage of makeup brushes you should clean them. Soak them in soap & water solution and clean them once every week regularly.
6. Not switch your makeup seasonally – This is one of the golden rules of makeup. You need to apply makeup as per the season be it summer or winters. In summers you need to use sweat free makeup whereas in winters you should use hydrating makeup.
7. Not testing makeup at all – Just don’t go by the looks. A makeup product can look really great in bottle but you need to try it on the skin.
8. Fix uneven eyeliner – Applying uniform and correct eyeliner every day is a difficult task. Sometimes it tends to be uneven. So, keep a cotton ball handy with a makeup remover.
9. Looking like a disco ball – sometimes we tend to overdo makeup. You might end up looking like tube light or worse a disco ball. Don’t forget to finish your face makeup with makeup fixing setting spray.
10. Don’t apply concealer before foundation – this is such a wrong makeup practise. You should always apply foundation and then concealer to hide away the red marks on your face.

That was all from my side. Let me know your most common makeup mistakes. Also, let me know in the comments down below any other common makeup mistakes and the ways to fix them.
