Makeup is our best weapon to highlight the beauty of our face and feel more confident and beautiful; however, if we do not use it correctly, we can make mistakes that can make you look older, and worse, damage the health and beauty of our skin.
Makeup mistakes that make you look older and that you should avoid
Makeup experts have commented on the most common mistakes we make when applying makeup, and how we should avoid them.
Does not prepare the skin before applying makeup
Before applying any makeup base to your face, you must make sure to clean it properly, but above all, keep it well hydrated with a suitable cream for your skin type.
If your face is not well hydrated, you run the risk that your makeup base looks stiff and marks the pores more and that you even get premature wrinkles.
Using foundations with too much coverage and in the wrong shades
Making this mistake has an effect that instantly ages the skin. It is best to use a light textured foundation and you want to make sure that the shade is as close to your skin tone.
This will not only unify your skin tone, it will also give it greater luminosity and will hide small imperfections. Remember that less is more.
Abusing eye shadows with a lot of shine
Although they are fashionable and look beautiful, abusing these shadows with these textures can make you look much bigger than you are, as well as ruining your eyes.
Before applying the shadow, make sure to apply an eyeliner, this will help the products to pigment much better, and you will not have to use more.
Highlight eyes and lips at the same time
The rule is that if you want your lips to stand out with bright tones such as red or fuchsia, it is better that your eyes go much more discreet in nude tones.
If, on the contrary, you prefer your look to be the protagonist, make sure to make up your lips in nude and matte tones, to achieve a better effect.
If you decide that both eyes and lips are super charged, you will not look good and you will also look like a lady.
Apply the blush very close to the nose or very marked
It is best to apply the blush on the highest cheekbones and towards the temples to create a lifting effect, but if you apply it too much and in the wrong color, not only will your features not look beautiful, you will look older. Remember that this product is to illuminate your face.
Take into account each of these tips to make makeup your best beauty tool.
