Worst Make-up Sins

Thursday, April 14, 2011

Although we are daily flooded with the latest fashion and make-up trends, we all make some mistakes that we later regret.
Even the stars, with an army of stylists and makeup artists sometimes appear like they haven't looked in the mirror.

We learn from our mistakes. Therefore, we bring you the top 5 make-up sins.

1. Too dark shade of lipstick

Dark lipstick such as brown, chestnut or purple can act too aggressively, and make you look older. At all costs avoid dark lip pencil, especially if you plan to apply lipstick. Instead of lipstick rather opt for lip gloss in a similar shade that will not act so aggressively.


2. Too thin eyebrows

If you got carried away with a tweezer, you'll have to let your eyebrows grow back and then shape them. Until they grow, use a special pencil for eyebrows. If you have dark hair, opt for black or dark brown pencil, and if you have a lighter complexion and hair choose a light brown pen.

3. Excessive make-up

This is a beginner mistake, but it is still often repeated. Intensive makeup on your eyes and lips combined with a heavy layer of foundation, and blush won't make you shine, but will make you look older. As much as you love experimenting with makeup, if you want a fresh and modern look, focus just on the eyes or lips, and on the rest of the face cover imperfections.


4. The wrong shade of foundation

This error often happens to all women. Even if you found that ideal shade for your complexion, foundation purchased in the summer won't suit you in winter and vice versa. Therefore, every woman should have at least two foundations that can be worn depending on the season and skin tone. A nice solution is mixing the two shades to get the tone that will perfectly match the tone of your face.

5. Too much bronzer

Too much bronzer will make you look dirty or unnatural orange. In addition, a bronzer shade, like a powder, should be changed depending on the season.

10 Most Common Makeup Mistakes

Saturday, December 25, 2010


You spent half an hour in front of a mirror, dressed up from head to toe and go out. You leave home, take a look at your pocket mirror and you are afraid of your own reflection! You look like you go to the brothel. Does this sound familiar?


Here's review of some common mistakes and make up tips to avoid them.

1. Inadequate foundation shade. Color of your current foundation should blend with the color of your face. If you apply to dark, you will look funny, but if it's too light, you will emphasize all the imperfections of your face. Furthermore, don't powder your face so that it completely matts. A slight shine will look more natural and will hide flaws better than any cement in this world. About how to choose the perfect shade of foundation, read in our article.


2. Too thick foundation. If your face needs more coverage, doesn't mean that it is necessary to apply a thick layer of foundation on your face. Apply foundation with your fingers, and for stronger coverage don't smudge it, but tap it in. For pimples that foundation didn't cover, use concealer (apply concealer after the foundation, not before). Why cement entire face for a few pimples? Also, avoid too much concealer on dark circles, it will accumulate in the small pine trees around your eyes and will be more emphasized.


3. Lipstick off the lips edge. Want to visually enhance lips? Make it shine, rather than drawing the lips outside their natural edge. Use lip pencil identical to rose shade or shade darker or colorless. Don't use a pencil a few shades darker than rose color, because you'll look like cheap.


4. Mascara and eye pencil on the lower lashes. This is allowed only for girls who don't have problems with dark circles. If you have them - avoid mascara and a dark pencil on the lower lashes in a wide circle. As we get older, the lashes are all dried up, so the mascara more often peels off them.So for the lower lashes, use waterproof mascara. An alternative to mascara on lower lashes is the deepest black mascara on the upper, folded eyelids. It will open your eyes and visually lighten sclera.


5. Shiny shades at the outer eye corner. A little gloss on the eyes will bring refreshments to your makeup, but try to concentrate on the middle of the lid if it is a darker shade and on inner corner of eye and below the brow (apply it as a highlighter). Shiny eyeshadow on the outer part of the eye will stress your wrinkles.


6. Black eye pencil for the day. Black pen as a daily make-up comes into consideration only if you use it in combination with some eye shadow on the upper eyelid, and if you smear it good. Emo-style eyes framed by a mass of black pens are eligible only for weekend outings. Actually, not even then, because you don't want to look like a raccoon.


7. The same make-up day by day. If today you use eye shadow, lipstick and blush that you used when you first put on your make up - fix it as soon as possible! Do you wear the same clothes day after day for several months? I didn't think so. Why would your make up be an exception? Play with colors, try different variations of makeup. Be imaginative.


8. Messy or too thin eyebrows. Eyebrows are one of the most important characteristics of the face. The moment I took care of them, I was reborn, and I look more beautiful. Do not laminate it too - more natural brows will instantly rejuvenate you and you won't act so strictly. Also, do not neglect - fix it once and you'll realize how important they are.


9. Facial hygiene. You go to bed without removed makeup? Huge mistake! Your face, just like you, need rest and care with regular and thorough cleaning, removing dead cells and moisturizing and nourishing creams. If you go to bed with makeup on your face, you might not notice the consequences right away (if you have problem skin, until the morning you will likely hail pimples). However, you will feel it in a few years, when your skin begins to age prematurely. Only one going to bed with makeup on, you'll heal your face for days.


10. Highlighting several parts of the face. You highlighted your eyes with dark eye shadow? Excellent, on the lips apply a neutral lip gloss or lip balm. Do not reach for a moat or a dark shade of lipstick! The rule is - only highlight one feature of the face. If you love your lips, just highlight your lips. However, this does not mean that here and there, for a change, you don't need to emphasize the eyes. Maybe they are actually just your trump card, only you still don't know it.
