11 MAKEUP MISTAKES YOU DON'T REALIZE YOU'RE MAKING (Cont.)

Hi Folks, I am back with the remaining 5 makeup mistakes. You can find the previous 6 makeup mistakes here.



MISTAKE NO. 7: WEARING BLUE EYESHADOW

Blue eyeshadow works for some people only, Little girls in dance recitals, Guests at 1970s-themed parties, Ethereal looking supermodels. If you aren't one of the aforementioned people, don't wear it. Enough said." Harsh, but truer words have never been spoken. 

MISTAKE NO. 8: TRYING TO "SCULPT" YOUR FACE
Yes, we would all love chiseled cheekbones and a dainty, ski-slope nose, but if nature didn't deliver, makeup isn't going to help. Contouring is best left to professionals, and only for photography or film. "No matter how skilled you are with the makeup brush, it's nearly impossible to use dark colors that aren't glaringly obvious when viewed in person, especially in broad daylight. Instead Focus on pretty, soft makeup that plays up your best features." 




MISTAKE NO. 9: USING PENCIL ON YOUR EYEBROWS
A penciled eyebrow looks painted and weird . Nevertheless, many women still go this route to fill in brows. A better option: "Choose an eyeshadow color that matches your hair color and apply with a thin, stiff, angled brush using tiny strokes.





MISTAKE NO. 10: WEARING GLITTER
"The thing that bothers the most about glitter in makeup, besides the fact that it shouldn't be worn by anyone over the age of 14 (fabulous club kids get an exception here), is that it travels on your face, leaving strange sparkly spots where they shouldn't be” . Instead of chunky glitter, it is recommended to use shadows with finely milled shimmer  used sparingly, of course. 
MISTAKE NO. 11: GOING NUTS WITH "LUMINIZING" PRODUCTS

Luminous particles have been added to everything in the past few years, most notably foundations, powders, and highlighting products. One or two such products can make a woman look fresh and glowing. Too many can make her look very, very strange." Think glowing head on a matte body, or like you spent your morning leaning over an oil vat  not exactly sexy. It is suggested to limiting your illuminating products to these areas: cheekbones, inner eye corners, and (if used sparingly) under the eye.
