Have you ever been putting on your makeup and when everything is going well, then a slip of the hand or an awkward streak appears down your cheek? Have you had to start all over because the makeup just looks wrong? Surely, I’m not the only one? it happens to all of us.
I hope you find these tips helpful, or if you have any tips and tricks of your own that you would like to share, I’d love to hear from you. Let me know in the comments section below.
TOO MUCH FOUNDATION.
This is a very common mistake that we all make when we put on makeup. If you have applied all your make up, to take off any excess foundation, do the following:
Lightly moisten a clean sponge with water (the sponge should be almost dry and without any makeup residue) and sponge all of your face with downward movements.
TIP: It is very important, most of all, to avoid excess foundation and concealer around the eyes. To eliminate any excess in this area, perform the same step and afterwards use your fingertips to softly blur the product in that area.
EYESHADOW LOOKS TOO DARK
If you’ve put on too much eyeshadow, or it looks too dark, follow these steps to quickly fix the problem:
If it happened on your upper eyelid, blur the eyeshadow toward the edges with a clean brush to reduce the colour. If it still looks very dark, apply a little bit of matte cream eyeshadow with a brush (if you don’t have cream eyeshadow, you can use translucent powder) and gently blur the eyeshadow.
If it happened on the lower part of your eye, use a fine, clean brush to blur, or pat it softly with a Q-tip.
If as you were blurring, you’ve left the contour of the eyelid and the shadow looks very dark, blur it with a clean sponge and afterwards apply a little bit of foundation, patting lightly to fix the foundation.
PUT ON TOO MUCH BLUSH
If you applied too much blush, try the following tip:
Stroke your cheek with a thick, translucent loose powder, brush should be completely clean. If you still have too much blush on, mix a little translucent and skin tone powder with the same brush, just over the blush. That way the two powders should mix, clarifying the original colour.
PUT TOO MUCH MAKEUP ON MY EYEBROWS
When we put too much makeup on our eyebrows, we look harsh and we can’t even recognize ourselves. Follow the following tip to quickly solve this:
Simply brush the eyebrow with a clean Q-tip, going against the grain of your eyebrow. You will see how quickly the colour you initially applied disappears.
SMEARED MASCARA ON MY EYELID
That’s all right. Just follow these next steps and you’ll see how you can quickly fix the problem:
Continue applying makeup and when you have finished, allowing enough time for the mascara to dry, apply a Q-tip right over the smudge. You’ll see how it quickly disappears and you don’t need to remove the makeup from your whole eye.
