Makeup mistakes

Nothing transforms a woman like love... and cosmetics.
However, the effect of the latter, unfortunately, can be not only positive, but also comical.
Read about the most common makeup mistakes and how to avoid them.

The wrong shade of foundation
A woman with an improperly selected foundation is easy to recognize in a crowd - either her neck is in stark contrast to her complexion, or her collar is treacherously smeared with foundation. Remember - in order not to look unnatural, foundation should be perfectly combined with your face, and do not take lightly the shades that supposedly correct the complexion.

To choose the right shade, always try foundation on your face and not on other parts of your body, such as the inside of your arm, because the skin is different there. The jaw line is most revealing - any discrepancy between complexion and makeup shows through there, so choose it for testing.

Sharp lip contour
Outlining lips with a pencil hides a lot of pitfalls. Even if it's not the dark brown or even black colors that were used for this purpose in the past, a sharp lip line always looks unnatural and vulgar. In addition, it visually reduces their volume. However, if you don't want to give up on lip liner, choose a color that matches the color of the lipstick or even lighter. Apply it with light movements to get a soft line, and never go beyond the natural contour of the lips.

Blush instead of eye shadow and vice versa
Trying to save money, we often use one product for multiple purposes, such as blush and eye shadow. However, no matter how neutral the color of the blush applied to the eyelids may seem, they will give you a dull and even whiny look. The opposite is also true - even fresh, pink-peach shadows applied to cheekbones will make your complexion look dead. Of course, there are universal products, but they don't have color so much as they sparkle.

Painted eyebrows
The perfect eyebrow shape is not an easy task. We are so addicted to plucking that we often turn them into an invisible line. No, don't try to finish the missing hair with a hard pencil - it gives your face a caricatured look. If you need to touch up your makeup, choose the right eye shadow color, the thinnest applicator, and shape your eyebrows with very fine strokes.

Excess lip gloss
For about a decade now, lip gloss has been beating traditional lipstick. It preserves the natural look of the lips and gives them a lush volume. However, wanting to get a more impressive result, many women apply excessive amounts. Because the gloss has a liquid consistency, it runs down her chin and the corners of her lips, as if a woman had licked a greasy frying pan. Therefore, be moderate and apply only one layer of gloss.
