Some Common Makeup Mistakes Everyone Should Avoid

There are usually a common set of makeup mistakes that are mostly made. Here are some common makeup mistakes everyone should avoid.

Over Application of Face Powder

This is a basic mistake which is most commonly committed by ladies. By doing this you actually dull your natural radiance. Over application of face powder makes your skin look dry, unnaturally white and cake-y.

Tip for proper application of face powder

For a perfect makeover use a primer or a moisturizer before applying a face compact. This makes the spread of the compact over your skin easy and gives your skin a less dry feel.

Improper way of wearing your under-eye concealer


An improper way of wearing under-eye concealer draws attention to the dark circles which you actually wanted to camouflage. Eye makeup is always important since eyes always catch the first attention of a face.

Tip for wearing your under-eye concealer the right way

Start dabbing the concealer gently under your eyes by using minimal quantities from outside to the inner corners. Make sure that the concealer is properly blended to match your skin tone. This gives you a natural look by hiding all your under eye flaws.

Too much application of blush-

Application of blush by using a heavy hand leaves you looking like a clown. The main purpose of applying blush is to give your cheeks a natural rose glow. Thus it is important to apply it the right way.

Tip for proper application of blush-

The most important thing to make sure before applying a blush is whether the brush is at its proper form or not. Never use a poor quality or cheap brush. Choose the right shade of blush for your cheeks depending on your skin tone. Apply the blush by blending it subtly and get that natural glow.

Clumpy mascara-

Often we are unable to decide the amount of mascara required to give our eye lashes a charismatic feel. Improper way of applying mascara can spoil the look of your eyes making it unnatural and messy.

Tip to use mascara for charismatic eyes-

Use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Start curling gently from root to tip. Apply mascara on the base of your lash and wiggle the brush slowly back and forth. Move the brush from the inner corner of your eye to the outer lashes. This will give your eyes a fuller look.
