Make-up mistakes that should never happen

in Beauty&Fashion, Everyday things

Everybody wants to look their best, but there are things which actually make you look worse instead of showing your better side.

This is how you should never look:

all the bad things on a pretty woman

all the bad things on a pretty woman

1. Don’t wear a mask

Foundation and concealer is great, but if you only put it on your face and not spreading it out properly to your neck and all surrounding areas it will definitely look bad. Also, wearing too much or very different colour to your skin is not great either.

2. Don’t overdo your eyes for daytime or if you are tired

Strong smoky eyes or excessive use of black eye pencil/shadow is a nono for work in the morning. Looks bad.

Some circles around the eyes are already bad enough, no need to emphasize it with strong eye make-up. The best thing you can do after trying to conceal them, just put on mascara and discrete shine around the eyes.

3.Contrasting lip-liner and colour

Most people need to use a lipliner to correct the shape of the lips, which is fine of course. But since Baywatch and Pamela Anderson is really out of the spotlight, please chose a matching colour to the liner.

4. Chipped nailvarnish

At this point I’m not even going to mention dirty nails because I assume that’s a basic hygienic expectation.

Anyhow. Remove your varnish, don’t put it on, wear gloves or get nail extensions (needs to be refilled every 2-4 weeks) or whatever makes you feel better, but there is nothing more disappointing then to see a pretty woman with scruffy hands and nails.

5. Summertime heels and toenails

This is really basic, but if you want to wear lovely sandals which will draw the attention to your feet, get them done, don’t be “down at the heel”..  (only daring to say in brackets: if they are not so bad, nails cut properly, heels “all right”, you can get away with less extroverted footware, such as flip-flops..)

6. The Blusher

Yes. There isn’t a single day when I don’t see someone looking like a clown on the street. When planning to be seen on the street, apply your blusher in a natural daylight, this way you will see how it will look like to other people as well. Going to a party or somewhere darker with artificial light of course changes the scenario.

7. Fake tan

I know, I know… Sun is bad, it burns etc. But better to have nothing on then a terrible fake bake which makes you look like an Oompa-Loompa, browns you like a toast on the wrists, dirts your toes…

8. Yellow teeth – lipstick

If you have yellowish teeth..

avoid: light shades, pales, light pastel, nude, peach, warm and light colours, basically anything looking like foundation :)

use: cold colours, lipgloss

Also, always choose your lipstick according to your complexion.

That’s all for now!

Come back for more! :)
