Top Make-up Mistakes!

 Dark lip liner and light lipstick
This look was from the 80s and that's were it should stay. Instead use a liner that is close to your natural lip color when using light colors. If you are using a dark liner fill in your mouth completely, then you can top it with clear lip gloss. 


Lip liner extending beyond the lip line
When you color outside the lip line it will look sloppy. Make sure to follow your lip line to have a clean and flawless lip. 

Applying lipstick to chapped lips
Never apply lipstick on chapped lips. Instead use lip balm to moisturize your lips 
applying any lipstick. 

 Clumpy Mascara 
The best way to avoid clumping is by wiggling the wand from side to side, from the base of your lashes to the tips.  Also, don't wait for the mascara to dry to apply a second or third coat, do it while it is still wet.   


Obvious line of blush 
The best way to avoid this is to get a big blush brush, stay away from the compact brushes that come with the blush. They will not help.  When applying the blush tap the excess amount off the brush. Then apply the blush in upward strokes on the apples of your cheeks, making sure to blend up to the hairline and ear. 

Caked- on foundation 
If you apply heavy cover-up will only draw attention to the problem you're trying to hide. When you need more coverage apply it only on the problem areas and blend it really well. 

Strong, hard eye liner
A strong, hard line all around the eye is not flattering and will only make your eyes look smaller and closer together. Instead blend the bottom liner with eyeshadow the same color as the eyeshadow. 

 Wrong foundation
Wearing a foundation that is too light will make your skin look ashy especially if you have dark skin. Also, for lighter skin tones wearing a darker foundation will make you look orange or yellow.  Make sure that when you are looking for a foundation to get one that matches your undertone. 

Until next time,
The Wicked
