Worst Beauty Moves

Hey, beautiful!

When it comes to beauty, there can be a fine line between right and wrong. Take makeup, for example; the right foundation can transform your face into an image of poreless perfection and the wrong one can morph it into a masky mess.

Since I am here to help you guys, I've done some research on what most women do wrong when applying makeup and I've also taken a look back at some of my own mistakes so I can advise you based on my experiences. Here are some of the worst beauty moves:

*Wearing foundation on flaky skin: if you do this, your foundation will look cracked, dry and obvious; which is not something you want. Try exfoliating your skin to get rid of any dead skin, then apply a moisturizer every night and day and avoid foundations with mattifying effects.

*Not blending your makeup: this issue applies to everything you put on your face. Use brushes or fingers to gently massage color into the skin everywhere you put it. Don’t forget your jawline, chin and other areas of your face that may be slightly hidden when you look in the mirror.

*Using concealer that’s too light: if a concealer that’s supposed to be softening dark circles is too light, it could make them even more obvious. Opt for a pink-toned concealer to brighten and avoid grayish effects or a peach-toned one to cancel out the bluish dark circles.

*Applying too much highlighter: next time you reach for that shimmery highlighter, think twice because it's not for everyone. Stick to just one or two areas, such as the top of your cheekbones or bridge of your nose. Remember, less is more; there’s a huge difference between looking radiant and just plain shiny.

These are a couple of the common mistakes some people do. Be sure to double-check you’re doing everything just right and remember you don’t have to wear makeup to look pretty; you are pretty just the way you are already.

Bye, beautiful!
