One small habit can also reduce the overall makeup completeness. What are some makeup mistakes a beginner should be especially careful about.
Skip Basic Care
If you skip the skincare step and start makeup right away, your skin will get excited and your makeup will easily collapse. Dry skin causes foundation to clump together, and oily skin causes makeup to smudge. After washing your face, clean your skin with toner and fill it with moisture cream or essence. In particular, using a primer before makeup increases makeup persistence. Basic care is the first step in protecting skin health and makeup completeness at the same time.
Apply thick foundation
If you apply thick foundation to cover blemishes or skin defects, your skin looks stuffy and unnatural. Thick layers can also clog pores and cause trouble. Apply a small amount of foundation with a spatula and spread it thinly, and tap it with a sponge or brush to blend it naturally. If you use concealer to cover blemishes, you can express much lighter skin. A thin, uniform base is the core of natural makeup.
Use color that doesn't match your skin tone
Foundation or color products that do not match your skin tone make your face dull or unnatural. If the boundary between the neck and the face looks different, it is a sign of a makeup mistake. When testing foundation in stores, let's apply it to your jawline and check it out in natural light. If you choose a lipstick, eyeshadow warm tone, or cool tone, your face will brighten up. Let's start with a color that is in harmony with the skin tone.
Awkward eyebrow
Eyebrows are an important factor in determining facial impressions. Beginners tend to draw the front of their eyebrows thickly or asymmetrical on both sides. Fill the tail lightly with an eyebrow pencil and blend it naturally with a brush. Excessive dark colors add unnaturalness, so it is better to choose a product that is one tone brighter than your hair color. If you use stencils or guides to hold the eyebrow frame, even beginners can practice easily.
Lack of blending
Shadow, blusher, and contouring must be smoothly connected without boundaries to complete natural makeup. If the color is cut off, the face looks awkward and the makeup looks excessive. Apply a small amount with a large brush and blend gently. In particular, the blusher should be applied in a circle on the apple zone, and the contouring should be applied naturally along the jawline and hairline. Blending is an important step in determining the completeness of makeup.
Neglected makeup removal
If you don't remove your makeup properly, your pores will clog up and you'll have trouble. In particular, waterproof mascara or lip tints are not removed with regular cleansing. Let's wash our face first with cleansing oil or balm, and then with a foam cleanser. After washing your face, wipe off the residue with toner and apply moisturizer to calm your skin. Thorough cleansing protects skin health and lays the foundation for the next makeup.
Invalid tool use
Beginners are prone to overlooking the choice of makeup tools. Low-quality brushes or dirty sponges make makeup uneven and cause skin irritation. Let's use a soft synthetic hair brush and a clean sponge. The brush is cleaned with soap once a week, and the sponge is hygienic if replaced every 1-2 months. Proper tools are essential for enhancing the sophistication of makeup and reducing skin irritation.
Makeup is complete in small details. Beginners can get much cleaner and more natural results even if they avoid basic mistakes. Check if you're doing these habits from today, and let's start successful makeup with a quick tip.
