10 Most Common Beauty Mistakes To Stop Making

• 15 Likes

Is it possible that you've applied your foundation incorrectly? Yes, it is true, and here's why. Every woman desires to not only feel beautiful, but also to appear beautiful. Many of us may even devote countless hours to making ourselves look our best. Even though true beauty comes from within, there are things we can do every day to look and feel our best.

But what if I told you that 75% of women are incorrectly applying their favorite beauty product? That's right, you could be misusing your favorite beauty product without even realizing it. I've compiled a list of the most common beauty mistakes people make on a daily basis, as well as how to correct them.

Excessive Mascara Use

This is one of the most common beauty sins. For years, wearing too much mascara has been a sin of ours. Let's face it, we all want thick, long lashes without having to wear falsies, so we coat our lashes with multiple coats of mascara. The issue is that we apply too many coats, resulting in spider lashes instead.

This occurs when you keep applying mascara and the coats become too demanding for your lashes, causing them to clump together. To avoid this, apply a maximum of 2-3 coats of mascara to your lashes. You can always curl your lashes with a lash curler before applying mascara if you want more volume. This will give you the volume and separation you desire without clumping your lashes.

Using Makeup Daily

Your skin will thank you if you skip a day or two of makeup. If you wear makeup every day, you may notice that your skin doesn't look as good as it does after a day or two without it. The reason for this is that our skin requires a day to rest and simply exist in its natural oils.

Our natural oils are great for our skin because they protect us from pollution and keep us hydrated even when we don't put anything on it. If you can go without makeup once or twice a week to give your skin a break from all the beauty products, that would be ideal. You'll notice that your skin is becoming healthier and more attractive from the inside out.

Not Using a Primer

Primers were created to assist you in achieving the flawless makeup application that we all desire. However, many of us are unaware of the numerous advantages that a primer can provide. A primer will help give you even skin before you apply your foundation if you have oily skin, dry skin, large pores, acne, or redness in your skin, among other things.

When you're looking for the right primer for you, make sure it'll work with your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin, you should get a mattifying primer, whereas if you have dry skin, you should get a hydrating primer.

Storing Your Makeup For Too Long

Makeup, believe it or not, has a shelf life. For many of us, this is a new experience, and we will continue to wear our make-up for months to come. Eyeshadows and lipsticks, in particular. The truth is that most makeup lasts less than a year. That's right, your makeup could be past its expiration date right now.

If you have allergies, you should swoop your makeup frequently because dirt can get into your eyes and cause an allergic reaction. Replace the makeup you use around your eyes and lips every 3-5 months, especially if we're talking about mascara. Mascara tends to accumulate a lot of bacteria in the tube, so you should exchange it as often as possible. This also applies to liquid products. Remember that germs and bacteria thrive in moist, humid environments.

It's a good idea to keep your foundation in the fridge. When you use it, it will last a little longer, depuff your eyes, and give you a cooling sensation.

Your Makeup Brushes Aren't Clean Enough

You've all been there, staring at your makeup brushes, unsure when they were last washed. If you use makeup on a daily basis, you should clean your brushes at least three times a week. The issue with not cleaning your makeup brushes as frequently as you should is that dirt and oil become trapped in them. You actually continue to transfer dirt and oil to your face every time you use the brush because the dirt and oil are trapped in them. As a result, when you use a dirty brush, you may experience more breakouts.

Make sure you clean your brushes with a gentle detergent at least three times a week to avoid breakouts on your face. You can use any mild detergent you want. If you wet the brush handles, the glue that holds the bristles together will soften, and brush hairs will fall out.

Your Concealer Isn't Set

Have you ever wondered why your concealer creases after an hour or so? The answer is straightforward: wet makeup products must be set. This is why you use a translucent powder to set your foundation if you want it to last all day. Similarly, as soon as you apply concealer to your under eye area, you should immediately set it with a translucent powder.

This will keep it from creasing and settling into any fine lines or wrinkles you already have. It will not only not crease once set, but it will also make your under eye area look more awake and luminous. Even if you're concealing a zit, make sure to set your concealer.

Incorrect Blush Formula

There are far too many of us. Blush is a frightening beauty product because you can wear too little or too much of it, especially too much. It has been discovered that many women are afraid of blushing.

The best way to get the right amount of blush is to use the right formula. Do you want to achieve a natural flush? Do you want a splash of color, or just a hint of it? Do you want your cheeks to take centre stage in your makeup? It's easy to find the right blush formula once you've decided what you want.

Blush stain:

This is the product to use if you want a natural-looking hint of color. It will brighten your skin and leave you with the perfect cheek stain.

Blush powder:

Powder blushes are a little heavier on the skin because they are thicker, and you must be careful not to apply too much. This is the one to use if you want to give your cheeks a flushed appearance.

Blush cream:

Cream blush is similar to stain blush, but it feels a little creamier on the skin and is best for dry skin. This type of blush will not work if you have oily skin.

Matching Your Foundation to Your Hands

We've all been told that matching your foundation to the color of your hands or wrist is the best way to find the perfect match. This is incorrect, because foundation is applied to the face, not the hands. So you'll want to match your foundation to your jaw line to find the right shade.

You can get a better match to your actual color by matching your foundation to your jaw line. Many times, we end up with foundation that does not properly match our skin tone. By matching it to your jaw line, you will be able to find a shade or two that will work well with your skin tone.

The Wrong Way to Apply Lip Liner

Harsh lines are one of the most common beauty blunders. Hash lines not only look bad and make you look like you don't know what you're doing, but they also age you.

When it comes to lipstick, one thing you could be doing incorrectly is not blending your lip liner. Lip liner was invented as a preventative measure to keep lipstick from straying from the lines. Your lipstick will be protected by the lip liner on the outside of your lips.

However, how many times have you seen a woman with lip liner underneath her lipstick, and when her lipstick fades, all you can see is a harsh line around her lips, and thought to yourself, "that doesn't look so good?" Blending your lip liner down and softening the harsh lines around your lips is the key to avoiding harsh lines around your lips.

This allows your lipstick to fade over time rather than all at once.

Overdrawn Brows

The shape of your face is framed by your brows. The thicker your brow, the younger your face appears. Thin brows are no longer fashionable and will not be for a long time. For many of us, perfecting our brows has become a mission. Let's face it, not everyone is blessed with naturally thick, beautiful brows, but we can all fake it until we make it.
You should fill in your brows if they are thin or sparse. For many of us, filling in our brows is a time-consuming process. As a result, we usually end up with droopy brows. Using the right products is the key to avoiding overdrawn brows.

Finding the right brow product isn't as difficult as you might think. Knowing how you want your brows to look is crucial to finding the right product. Do you want to make a statement with your brows? Or do you prefer a natural-looking soft brow? Use a brow pomade or brow powder if you want a natural-looking brow. A brow pencil can be used to create a bold brow.

• A brow product that is one shade lighter than your natural brow hairs should be used. This will add dimension to your brows and make them appear more natural.
• You should also use an angled brush to outline the shape you want your brow to be. The shape of your brows should be similar to your natural brow shape, but slightly groomed. You want to create the illusion of tiny hairs that look natural and tamed with the angled brush.
• You can also use a brow gel to keep your brow hairs in place. A brow gel will keep all of your brow hairs in their proper places.

Make sure your brows are groomed before you start filling them in. When brows are groomed and filled in, they look better. As a result, you should make sure that any sparse hairs are removed and that your brows are as clean as possible.
