Makeup application can be very enjoyable, especially if you keep a few beauty tips in mind.
Although experimenting with makeup is fun, there are techniques to applying makeup correctly.
I've listed a few primary mistakes that women make when applying makeup.
1.
Too Much Application: Even the most experiences makeup artist has had an issue with applying too much makeup to their face.
Have you ever gone to a cosmetic counter to get some assistance, saw the MUA (that's makeup artist), and thought "Please don't do my face like yours!" Too much makeup can make you look like a clown, ghost, corpse, or a number of other creatures.
Ladies, you have to be careful about how much product you are using while applying makeup.
When it comes to foundation, particularly liquid, one squirt or two will do the trick.
2.
Wrong Choice of Color: Some ladies can go years wearing the wrong shade of foundation.
Finding the right color is one of the first steps regarding make up.
Do not be afraid to ask the makeup counter associates for samples.
Try them out at home and look at your face in natural light (take a mirror outside or look in a car mirror).
This really makes the difference.
Also, take pictures of yourself.
Sometimes everything looks great through our own eyes, but a picture is worth one thousand words.
3.
Poor Blending: One important aspect of applying makeup is being able to blend all of the colors together for a natural appearance.
No one should see harsh lines and wrinkles.
If someone can tell where your blush, contour, or highlight begins and ends, then you need a tutorial on blending.
Using fingertips for eye shadow is not a crime if you understand how to blend.
4.
Bad Eyebrows, Bad Eyeliner: Have you ever seen a lady's eyebrows and wondered, 'Is she related to Oscar the Grouch?" Or, "Why are those eyebrows so uneven?" Eyebrows are so important to the facial structure.
They can take a face from simple to striking in an instant.
Find a salon that does a great job at shaping eyebrows or find a user-friendly at-home kit.
Eyeliner is a beauty tool that must be applied with precision.
If not applied properly, then you run the risk of looking like a raccoon or an extra for a zombie flick.
Also, learn how to use eyeliner in order to avoid eye infections.
5.
Flaky Lipstick: Chapped lips are a big NO! Chapstick, moisturizing lip balm, and lip exfoliate is created for a good reason - to remove the dead skin from our lips.
Soft, smooth lips are a wonderful base to apply lipstick.
The color choice of lipstick is another issue.
There are so many brands and types of lipsticks.
This does not mean every choice complements your skin tone.
Selecting lipstick is trial and error, but it is so worth it to find a great lipstick that you can wear daily.
Ladies, practice makes perfect.
Do not be afraid to ask for a session at the makeup counter or learn by watching YouTube videos on beauty or asking professional artists.
Focus on one facial part at a time.
Try various brands until you find your favorites.
Remember, the focus is to look as naturally glam as possible.
Commit these mistakes to memory and take care to avoid or remedy them.
