Stop Disfiguring Yourself: The 10 Most Common Makeup Mistakes

The Internet is full of hundreds of thousands of clever tricks on how to draw an arrow, tips on choosing the shape of the eyebrows, disputes about red lipstick and more. Bloggers and professional makeup artists usually focus on makeup creation, overlooking the main mistakes of beginners and amateurs.

This collection contains 10 main points that every woman should remember in order to shine at any event and not become the heroine of a joke:

Not everyone is gifted with the art of quick and graceful eyeliner, which is why ladies often prefer to accentuate the lower eyelid with a pencil. It turns out that this is not the safest option to emphasize the beauty of the eyes; on the contrary, without the right shade and color, the line on the eyelid will look like a separate story from the facial makeup.

Makeup artists say: good eyebrows are half the success. In pursuit of a beautiful curve, women make the same mistake, namely drawing too dark graphic eyebrows. The wrong color and thickness give even a beautiful face an aggressive expression.

A common mistake that all professionals talk about is applying too light a concealer to the eye area. This method of concealing dark circles ultimately plays a cruel joke on girls: firstly, it creates the effect of bleached skin, and secondly, instead of facial wrinkles, grooves with rolled-off product appear.

It is important to consider not only individual parts of the makeup, but also the whole picture. So the combination of a matte tone, matte shadows and matte lipstick creates that plaster effect that people on the Internet like to joke about.
