The 5 makeup mistakes to avoid #2

Five makeup mistakes to avoid (part two)

I meet you today for a new beauty article to introduce you to 5 new make-up faux pas . I already offered you the first part of this article in September. I told you that I had 10 tips to offer you and I had chosen to cut this article in half so that it was not too long. So today is the “final” of this article. Although, if you like it, I would find a sequel to offer you. Feel free to tell me all about it in the comments!

Number 6:Overuse your eyebrows

Eyebrows really area central part of the face. They can completely change your pretty face! Know that I am not an eyebrow pro, I have never even gone to have them waxed in an institute to date. But a few tips all the same:please, girls, absolutely avoid depilating too much your eyebrows , it's not pretty, it's sorely lacking in naturalness.

On the other hand, we avoid applying too much makeup , the effect is the same! Instead, I advise you to fill them lightly with a powder of the same color or an eyebrow gel colored in order to co fill in any "holes" there may be. You can also redraw them in pencil, but be really light-handed otherwise it will look too harsh. If you don't really know how to tweeze your eyebrows, arm yourself with a pencil or a brush and draw the landmarks (see visual above).

I use Gimme Brow eyebrow gel. of Benefit to make up my eyebrows, a quick and easy gesture. I also really like the one from NYX which is more affordable.

Number 7:Abuse color

This is good advice for the whole face! We forget the super dose of blush , and forget the 48 colors on the eyelids. We prefer to stay in a harmony of the same tones hot or cold for her eye makeup. The palettes found on the market are generally provided with colors that match well together. However, we are tempted by a line of colored eyeliner on a bare eyelid with a little mascara in summer!

In terms of blush, it is also often a disaster:we tend to want to put too much on so that the color shows well. Mistake girls, putting just a little on the cheeks is more than enough! However, I understand that it is not always easy to dose your blush in “bathroom” light , so try to get closer to your window to check all this. In the event of a disaster, we grab our powder brush and we blend ! To avoid drama, I advise you to use a cream blush that you avoid just after your foundation and before the powder, I love the Chick Pop from Clinique for example.

Number 8:Putting on too much mascara

Here again we try not to have too heavy a hand , yes we love mascara:doe eyes, open and bigger, but that's no reason to get carried away! The "Spider Legs" Effect and so quickly arrived! Personally, I think two coats of mascara are more than enough, afterwards the material will tend to be too thick and clump on your eyelashes.

I suggest the following trick for lashes on top:a first coat of lengthening mascara , to define the eyelashes, curl them and give them the desired length . Then a good layer of volumizing mascara very black, which brings intensity look and you're done! No need to overdo it but this combo is usually the one that works best for everyone! In addition, the more you put in, the more you run the risk of it leaking at the end of the day!

Number 9:Wear red lipstick without prep

It's quite a challenge to have perfect lips , an impeccable red that lasts all day (this will be the subject of a future article by the way). We love matte lipsticks that have a velvet effect on the lips always very chic. However, they can be your greatest enemy if your lips are not perfect. Fine lines, small dead skin here and there and it's missed!

We don't skip the lip exfoliation step before wearing a matte lipstick and moisturize them well before the evening with a very greasy balm and in the morning by tapping on a lighter balm. A silicone lip primer will also help you to have a smooth and rounded look, so glamorous!

After this step, lip liner is essential to hold perfectly and have an intensity and an impeccable color, especially for shades like red or dark colors. Be careful to choose it tone on tone with your lipstick. Finally, choose matte textures for better hold or creamy textures for comfort. You decide according to your needs!

Number 10:Use approximate tools

Brushes are also the key to a beautiful make-up ! We therefore try to avoid the small foam tips supplied with eye shadow palettes, powder sponges and other approximate accessories. We would rather invest in more precise brushes to have a sublime rendering.

However, you don't need to spend thousands and cents to have a good starter kit of brushes, those from Eyes Lips Face, Studio range for example, are of very good quality, just like the Real Techniques! For my part, I discovered Zoeva brushes and I find that they also have very good value for money .

Even if the kits are a small basic investment, if we make the ratio compared to the price of the individual brush , we really win! In short, do not skimp on the brushes which are still important if you want to improve (or not) in makeup.
