Common Beauty Mistakes
In the words of the great Hannah Montana "Everyone makes mistakes" and that includes beauty. Here are some common mistakes that we make on a day to day basics when it comes to beauty in general not just makeup. Now i'm not saying that these things are completely wrong and that you shouldn't do them. If it makes you happy then you do you but, these are my opinions.
Lip Liner That Is Too Dark
The purpose of lip liner is to line the lips and keep the lipstick in place inside of the lighter tone of your lips. If you use a lip liner closer to your natural lip line it would give it a more natural appearance. If you are a woman of color use a brown lip liner or a purple one if you're going to wear a pink lip.
Caked On Makeup
Cake is a good thing... just not when it comes to makeup. Putting concealer is one thing but putting on too much is another. You don't want to put on too much product or it would be cakey. you should put on thin layers. The same thing goes for foundation. Less is more. you don't want your face looking like a scary mask. YIKES!
Foundation Lines
I can not say this enough guys... BLEND YOUR FOUNDATION! Blend, blend and blend. You don't want everyone to see where your foundation ends. Blend your foundation down to your neck.
Spraying On Perfume After You Are Dressed
Perfume can stain fabric which can make your perfume smell unpleasant. Perfume is made to be applied to the skin and mix with the heat of your body. Before you dress spray or dab it on your pulse points (Wrists, behind earlobes. knees and base of your neck) and don't rub your wrist together because it breaks down the perfumes structure.
Waterproof Mascara
I know that waterproof can be a lifesaver if you're spending a day at the beach, planning to be outside all day or reading a Nicolas Sparks book but, it shouldn't be an everyday thing. The stuff that makes your mascara water resistant dries out your lashes and causes them to fall out.
Putting on Lipstick Without Exfoliating
Putting on lipstick with crunchy lips is not cute at all. Take the time to exfoliate your lips to get all of that yucky nasty dead skin off. When your lips are rid of all the dead skin you get a smoother appearance.
