Common makeup mistakes

Makeup is one of main requirement in modern time. Women feel themselves incomplete without makeup. No doubt make up is an art . You can look attractive if you have applied the makeup in an expert way , on the other hand you look awful if you ignore your complexion, type of skin, face features, dress, demand of occasion before applying it.
As we choose colors and dresses according to the weather,we must also choose our makeup colors by watching the weather conditions. Here i am mentioning some of the common mistakes women make while having a make over.

1- Cleansing and Moisturizing
Have you noticed white or oily spots on your face after using foundation and face powder, the main reason behind this is, you are not paying attention on regular cleansing and moisturising of your face.
Women should cleans their face for at least two times in a week with a quality cleanser.It would remove all the dirt from your face.
Usage of moisturizer is also very beneficial because it remove all the effect of dryness. PH balanced face wash also plays an important role for enhancing the skin freshness and natural glow.


2-Use concealer carefully

Every skin has some problems. There are few lucky women that have no such problems.Women want to hide the scars or blemishes with the help of dark makeup that can be harmful.
The better solution for this is usage of concealer. Before choosing a concealer you must check its color.You must pay attention if  it is matching your skin tone or not.Use your finger to spread it on the spot. Use a mirror while you do this.

3- Overuse of glitter in your makeup

If you use an excessive amount of glitter in your makeup, that would give a bad effect on your personality. It will not only snatch the freshness of your skin but also it will give you a weird look. Always use it in a balanced amount.

4- Golden and Silver shades both at a time

Usage of golden and silver shades both at a time can never give a decent and natural look to your makeup. Always use one of those at one time, silver shade enhances the beauty of fair skin where as the golden shade refreshes your wheat complexion.

5-Lipstick and Lip liner

Lipstick is the main part of makeup. Use lip liners of neutral shade and merge it with lipstick.

Most of all if you are going on a party, dont apply makeup in hurry. Always take time and give proper attention for this task.Remove the makeup well before going to sleep.
