There are a few make-up hacks which we are still getting wrong. Here are a few mistakes which nearly everyone makes,
Conceal Lightly
MISTAKE: Applying too much concealer, using a too thick concealer and using the wrong shade.
TECHNIQUE: Only use the concealer where you really need it, such as under the eyes and around the nose. Thick concealer will gather in any fine lines and crease.
Remember that your concealer should never be more than one or two shades lighter than your skin tone! Use your ring finger and lightly pat in the product, as the warmth of your fingers blends the concealer a lot better than a brush or a sponge.
Pumping Mascara
MISTAKE: Holding on to mascaras for too long until they are dry and clumpy. Or pumping mascara to get more product, as this again leads to more air in the tube.
TECHNIQUE: Try and throw out your mascaras after about three months, as they can collect germs within the tube. The best technique for mascara would be to first, curl your lashes, and then start with the wand at the root of the lashes and wiggle the brush to the tip. This makes sure all lashes are coated, especially at the root.
Laying a foundation
MISTAKES: Forgetting to first prep the skin! And not knowing which type of foundation looks best on you dewy or powder?
TECHNIQUE: Foundation will sit better on the skin if it’s perfectly moisturized and clean. You also need to be aware of what type of foundation looks better on your skin. For example, a powder foundation will cling to any dry patches on dry skin and a dewy foundation will make oily skin look even shinier.
Blushing
MISTAKES: Applying them to the wrong part of the face, applying too much and using the wrong shade.
TECHNIQUE: Try and keep it on the apples of the cheek. Apply it lightly rather than applying too much. And try and stick with a natural shade.
