Do you struggle to get a consistent makeup look? Have you changed your makeup products, to no avail?
If so, then you’re probably not applying makeup properly.
How you apply makeup is just as important as the type of makeup that you use,
so make sure you know the basics of using different makeup types.
So, what mistakes do most people make when applying makeup?
Which makeup habits will ruin your looks, even if you’re using the best
products?
Here are 7 makeup habits to avoid at all costs:
1. Never Skip Moisturizer
Makeup and skincare go hand in hand and not prepping your
skin for makeup can lead to a "fake" look. Many people skip
moisturizers before applying makeup. After all, your skin may not feel dry or
wrinkled, so what's the need for a moisturizer?
Moisturizer isn’t just a hydrating agent, it’s also great
for protecting your skin against any chemicals in makeup products.
2. Never Use Chemical-Based Makeup
Products
There's nothing that will damage your skin as much as
chemical-based products. If you have sensitive skin, then avoid these at all
costs, especially if it's causing your skin to dry out, gives you rashes, or
causes redness.
Always choose a dermatologist-approved product that contains
natural ingredients to help you maintain healthy, fresh skin.
3. Don’t Use Too Many Layers of Mascara
If you have to use multiple layers of mascara, then you
probably don’t have the right mascara! Applying multiple layers of mascara will
cause your eyes to look fake and can even give you an unprofessional “spidery”
look.
Invest in a good mascara brand and don’t apply it more than
once or twice. If you can’t get the perfect application with regular mascara,
then choose a liquid mascara for a more consistent effect.
4. Never Use Expired Makeup Products
While many chemical-based makeup products will last forever,
if you are using natural products, then you’ll have to take care of the expiry
date. Many of the organic ingredients in these makeup products have an expiry
date and using them after this date will damage your look.
While the makeup may seem OK, why take the risk?
5. Don’t Forget to Sanitize Your Makeup
Brushes and Wands
This is a major mistake that even experienced makeup artists
make! Not cleaning your makeup products regularly may cause contamination and a
buildup of germs, which may lead to acne, pimples, rash, and other skin
problems.
6. Never Forget Concealer
Unless you have a naturally perfect skin tone that blends
with your makeup, there will always be dark spots, lines, and other blemishes
that you'll have to cover up. So, when you're done with your makeup routine,
use a concealer to cover any blemishes.
7. Using Low-Quality Makeup Tools
Another rookie mistake that many people make is assuming
that all makeup application tools are equal. Brands spend years of research
creating a makeup brush or mascara wand for optimal makeup application, so
don’t just use any makeup tool you find.
