Most women, if not all, want to look younger and more beautiful. The same reason why they love to hoard makeups and other beauty products to prettify themselves naturally and not add years to their age. Here are some of the common makeup mistakes most ladies do that they are not probably aware of.
1. Using your two fingers or sponge in applying your favorite foundation
Whenever you do this, you are actually giving your face an uneven look and a "cakey result," which you really hate, don't you? Likewise, sponges soak up a lot of your foundation, which basically means you could be wasting a bunch of foundation and flushing money down the toilet. The quick fix is to invest in a good brush applicator. It's easier to use, can be navigated across your face, and most importantly, can wind up with much more even coverage.
2. Wearing the right foundation
Foundation should serve its purpose by making you attain that even tone you've always wanted. So, choosing the one that is ideal for your skin type and tone should be a priority. Seeking help from makeup professionals is highly recommended as they could hand you the most reliable skin type assessment. Trying out some products in the department store also does the trick. Apply it on your face and wait for a few hours as you stroll the mall, If you still look good and it appears so 'natural', then it's indeed a good buy.
3. Applying lipstick on bare lips
Bear in mind that you should moisturize or dab a little amount of primer or foundation on your lips before applying your fave lippie. This will actually make the color last and also give you more crusty and less luscious-looking lips without smearing or drying them out. The added moisture will ensure your lipstick doesn't wear off right away as it glides on much more smoothly and evenly. To ensure your pout stays perfect, always powder the outside of your lip line.
4. Putting blush on the apples of your cheek.
Another thing you should avoid is brushing on blush too far below the cheekbone, which visually pulls down the face, making you look jowly. Experts advise that rather than concentrating it on the apple of your cheek, brush it sparingly, up along the cheekbone, using the center of your eye as a guide for your starting point. The upward sweep also gives the illusion of pulling your face upward, slimming it.
Likewise, you should consider a perfect shade of the blush you want to buy - the one that will give you a younger and all-natural glow.
