Foundation Fiascos
Choosing the right foundation shade can be tricky, right? A shade too light can leave you looking ghostly, while a darker one creates a mask effect. The
solution? Blend, blend, blend! Try mixing a touch of your existing shade with a lighter or darker one to find the perfect match. Consider lighting when applying your foundation – natural light is always best!
Eyeliner Errands
Ah, the dreaded eyeliner struggle! Whether it's a shaky hand or a smudged wing, eyeliner can be a source of frustration. For a cleaner line, try using a gel eyeliner and an angled brush for better control. Remember, practice makes perfect! If smudging happens, grab a cotton swab dipped in micellar water and clean it up. Don't worry, you got this!
Blush Bombshells
Blush can instantly brighten your face, but too much can be a disaster. Avoid looking like a Bollywood actress from the 80s by starting with a small amount and building up. Use a fluffy brush and apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending outwards. If you overdo it, apply a bit of translucent powder to tone it down and soften the look.
Lipstick Lamentations
Lipstick can be tricky! Applying too much lipstick can result in bleeding or feathering, especially with darker shades. To prevent this, use a lip liner that matches your lipstick to create a defined outline and fill in your lips before applying your lipstick. Blot your lipstick after applying it, for a long lasting effect, and repeat this process.
