Every woman wants to be beautiful!
Some of us will spend countless hours trying to look our best, but most of us are making beauty mistakes that we had no idea were all wrong. Some of the things even I got to know on today. Therefore, I am going to share with you all.
1. Knowing how to use your concealer
Which one do you apply first? Your concealer or foundation? It seems like this question is somewhat of a debate. I’ve always applied my foundation first, otherwise it seems redundant to apply concealer only to have the coverage wiped away with the application of your foundation, so in this case as long as your concealer is blending in well and giving you the coverage you want, do whichever works for you!

2. Using the wrong color eyeliner
Unless you have a darker skin toner, I feel that black eyeliner can be a little harsh and perhaps best saved for a night out. A light to dark brown looks best on light to medium skin tones. Most women look best with eyeliner only applied to the outer ¾ of their eyes. There is no reason to trace the entire eye, it does not look natural.

3. Harsh eyeliner (Not blending)
No matter what color of eyeliner you choose, if it is applied like a marker, it is going to look harsh. This does not do your beautiful eyes any justice. To achieve a more natural look, use pencil eyeliner instead of a liquid liner. In addition, lot of pencil liners comes with a blending brush on the opposite end. Use it!

4. Tacky lipstick
Do not get me wrong, the right shade of lipstick can instantly give you a confidence boost, but a bold, unnatural color is not attractive on most women. It distracts from the rest of your face and can make you look like you are trying too hard. If you do decide to make a bold choice, keep the rest of your makeup simple and skip the gloss. A bright lipstick combined with Smokey eyes and flushed cheeks can look more clown like than pretty.

5. Long, Flashy fingernails
This maybe more of a personal preference, but long fingernails (and toenails) have never been my thing. Especially when I see the pointy, almond shaped nails, I get visuals of witches and bear claws.

6. Fake eyelash abuse
Every woman wants long, full and beautiful lashes. This is why we crimp, curl and apply mascara almost every day. If there is one thing in my makeup drawer that I couldn’t live without, it would definitely be my mascara. But at some point falsies and extensions took over, and now a lot of us look like we have spiders crawling out of our eyes. Not to mention the adverse reactions, hygiene risk, and the damage they can do to your natural lashes.

7. Wearing lip liner all wrong
One of the biggest beauty blunders that most women don’t realize they’re not blending makeup properly. Harsh lines are the last thing you want if you are trying to achieve a natural look. Eyeliner is a popular one, but lip liner is second on the list.

8. Over washing your face
Beauty starts with great skin. Sometimes we just overdo it when it comes to washing. Everyone has different type of skin, some of us are older than others, so there are many factors involved, but if you find that after applying your foundation you can see flaky, dry skins… stop washing so much! Let your natural skin oils moisturize for you.
It is important to wash before bed to remove makeup, but can skip the wash entirely in the mornings. Or use baby wash. It is gentle enough to make you feel clean without robbing your skin of its natural oil.
Did you know that you can also use baby wash once a week to wash your hair to get rid of build up? It works like a clarifying shampoo, but a fraction of the cost.

9. Applying makeup in the wrong lighting
Most of us use the unnatural light from our bathroom mirror to apply makeup every morning. This is fine if you have already tested your makeup by a window. If you did not look at your makeup lately somewhere other than your trusted bathroom mirror, you might want to get on that. Some of you may be surprised to see that your foundation, eye shadow or lipstick is not quite as flattering as you had hoped.

10. Too much foundation
Foundation is meant for covering up uneven spots, not to be worn as a mask. Use a good foundation and the right color without applying too much.

11. Too much Shimmer & Glitter
I have always been drawn to the shimmery eye shadows over the matte. Maybe because they look so much prettier in the compact. But, to be honest, a shimmery or glittery eye shadow that covers the entire eyelid and brow area can be overwhelming, especially if you have oily skin. Too much, shine!

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, and I truly believe that we look our best when we are confident and feel like our best self, so do not change a thing if you love the way you look, as some of these are my personal preferences and own opinions on beauty.
