Five makeup mistakes that ruin everything: stop making them. Photo

Beautiful and, most importantly, right makeup plays as important a role in creating a stylish look as trendy shoes, a jacket or a handbag. However, fashionistas often forget to follow the trends in the world of makeup, which is why they make mistakes and spoil the overall picture with tasteless shadows or inappropriate arrows.

OBOZREVATEL has collected five major makeup mistakes that can ruin any look. The main thing to remember is that the key to a successful makeup, whether it's daytime or evening, is clean and well-moisturized skin. If you don't prepare your face for applying makeup, you're likely to fail.

1. Using too dark a foundation to look tanned

This is a common mistake: we tend to think that choosing a darker foundation will make us look better. However, this product works differently. The purpose of foundation is to create a base, a background for makeup. That is, to even out the skin, give it radiance and erase imperfections. Therefore, you should always choose a foundation in a color that is closest to your natural skin tone. And to give a healthy glow, use blush and/or bronzer.

Women make a similar mistake with concealer, choosing a lighter shade in the hope of hiding dark circles under the eyes or rashes. As a result, the skin tone looks completely unnatural.

2. Applying too much product

An excess of makeup on the face does not make you more fashionable or attractive. You can often hear the phrase from professional makeup artists, "Successful makeup is discreet makeup that emphasizes your features while remaining invisible." Black eyeshadow, red lipstick, several layers of mascara, excessive foundation and powder will create a "lumpy porridge" effect on your face.

So, for example, choose easy-to-wear blush shades (apricot, peach) and apply them delicately with a brush on the cheekbones. Also, be sure to decide whether to focus on the eyes or the lips. The emphasis should be on only one thing. Otherwise, it will look vulgar and overwhelming.

3. Daytime smoky eyes

This eye makeup technique, which means "smoky eyes," has been trending for many years. What is the mistake then? The emphasis here is on the word "daytime". Smoky eyes are an ideal option for evening makeup. But you shouldn't do it every day to go to the store or go to work in the office. In addition, if you are not good at this technique, then it is better not to risk it either as there is a risk of getting the eyes of a tired panda instead of the makeup of a seductive panther.

4. Lip pencil darker than lipstick

This technique was relevant in the mid-90s of the last century, but now, to look stylish and elegant, it is better to forget about this technique. Either choose the same color of pencil as your lipstick, ideally even the same brand, so as not to make a mistake or go for the same color as your lips: nude and nothing else.

5. Not washing off makeup

One of the biggest makeup mistakes is neglecting to remove it at the end of the day. The skin needs to breathe and recover. It does this especially intensively at night. Therefore, thorough makeup removal is a must before going to bed. Even if you're tired, sick, or think that one time won't hurt anything, don't skip this most important step.
