You have made up for years still problems occur. Something wrong with makeup must be the cause of those problems. See the 10 big mistakes you may have done and see how to sort them out.

1. Wrong use of shimmer

Shimmers can support women’s faces more gorgeous. But if it’s put in the wrong position, it can turn women look older. The way not to use shimmer in a mistake way is to put it in the right position. Try the eye shadow or blush on with light shimmer and put it on the T-zone: shin, nose, and forehead.

2. Too thick eyebrows.

If you have dark brown or black hair, you may want to make your face softer by using light brown or even red-brown color on your brows. This will make you look fake and overly made up. So if you have dark brown or black hair, use grey color to fill in your brows. Brow powders are always better than pencils as they will make you look less severe.

3. Fill in the powder on the face without a cleansing pad first.

Actually, you can fill in the powder on your face during the day as it helps to protect your face from UV rays and pollution. But filling in the powder on the oily and dirty face will damage your skin as it will accumulate dirt on your face. So before filling in the powder, clean your face with a cleansing pad first. The powder will not make big trouble for your skin afterward.

4. Too thick mascara on the lower lashes

Brushing mascara on the lower lashes will help your eyes sharper and sparkling. But smudging too much mascara on the lower lashes will make a shade under your eyes and can emphasize the short eyelashes. If you really want to highlight your eyes and thicken the lower lashes, use eyeliner pencil (use brown color) and draw on the under eyes instead or you can use mascara without color to apply.

5. Forgetting foundation on the neck

If you put on the foundation on your face but not on your neck, your face and your neck will come out in different shades. It will make you look fake. So apply foundation on your neck every time. After applying the foundation, also apply the translucent powder on both the face and neck to set it to look the same.

6. Too thick and dark eyeliner

Too thick and dark eyeliner will make the eyes owner scared, especially those who have big round eyes. Use a softer color tone like brown instead and draw softly to avoid thickening the eyeliner.

7. Too heavy foundation

Preparing your skin before coloring your face is an important thing you should not look over. The foundation should not be too heavy as it will cover pores which leads to getting wrinkles. Oily skin people should use powder with foundation whereas liquid foundation which contains UV protection substance is good for old and dry skin people.

8. Too much shading on your face

Many women apply bronzer or a darker shade of foundation on the cheek side and molar to make dimension to their faces. But this can emphasize to facets of your face and make it look too strong. After shading your face, brush up the peach color over your cheeks to gain a softer face.

9. Wrong color base and foundation use

Using the wrong color base and foundation on your face will exaggerate your face. For example, using fair pink color on your tan skin will make your face purple. So choose the nearest your skin color foundation. For those who have fair skin, Pale Yellow of Bobbi Brown is recommended. For the tanned people, Chanel no. 8 is good for you. Anyway, you do not need to choose the recommended ones but the good foundation color should not be a very white or fair one as it will not come out naturally. It should contain yellow color in it as most women have yellow-based skin, including most Caucasian and all Asians.

10. Face cleansing

According to recent studies in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, deposits of nicotine and carbon monoxide (from secondhand smoke and pollution) can wreak havoc on the skin. So cleaning your face before going to bed must be done every night. Take off the makeup base or foundation only with a cleansing oil – cleansing foam can never get rid of the heavy foundation of your face-, and then use the non-ionic cleansing foam to wash your face again. After that use the toner on your face to strengthen the pores.
