You're Doing It Wrong: Makeup Edition

5:58 PM

The classic "Beauty Don'ts" post.

I wouldn't feel the need to add another post/video/whatever about what not to do, if there weren't so many of you still doing these things.
So, just like any rule, I wouldn't have to say to not do this if you weren't doing it.

1. Eyeliner on lower inner rim & mascara

I see this look on women all the time. Not much makeup at all. Just eyeliner and mascara, but, just on  the lower inner rim.


Look how small and strange her eye looks.
Ang guess what? It doesn't look good on ANYBODY. That's right. Megan Fox could do this, and it would look frumpy.
It's not an option ladies.
Why not spend that time you would spend lining the inner rim, and applying a little liner along the upper lashline.
Did you know you could even rim your upper inner rim? You can, and it actually gives the appearance of thicker lashes (never a bad thing).
So next time you're in a rush, it's better to just wear some mascara than to line that rim.


2. Not blending your eyeshadow

Seems like a no-brainer, right? Women everywhere are spotted commiting this crime every day. That's right ladies. And the worst part? Some women don't even realize it.

Laugh all you want, but I see girls that look almost this bad every day.
What is blending?
Blending is the art of swishing a blending brush along the edge of your shadow to blend it into your skin/the next shadow.
It's simple. It's easy. It's mandatory.


3. Too much mascara
It's actually a thing. No, really, it is.
Now some of ya'll may be thinking, "Eyelashes? Pfft. Like, you wear fake ones so what's the dif.?"

Allow me to ellaborate.



I'm honestly impressed at how much mascara she caked on there.
The rule is usually this: if you want some oomph on your lashes, go buy some.
That's right.
There's no need to wear falsies every day (unless you want to, then fab on), but if you want your eyelashes to look extra special, pop on some falsies and move on, because no matter how much mascara you pile on, it just looks more and more clumpy and terrible.
 I promise, on your 78th layer, it won't suddenly look like Kim K's lashes.



4. Not matching your foundation correctly.

If I had a nickel for every time I've someone's walked around like this, I'd be a bajillionare.
Okay, maybe I have made this beauty blunder a couple more times than I'd like to admit, but I have seen the error of my ways, and learned what I was doing wrong


The biggest mistake is when shopping for foundation, too many girls put the foundation on the back of their hand or wrist to match the color.

The back of your hand receives more sun than your face, and your wrist doesn't receive quite as much as your face, resulting in whatever foundation you buy being either darker or lighter than it needs to be.
To match your foundation to your face, test it on your neck.
Seems like a no-brainer but most women actually don't do this. This way, your face blends seemlessly into your neck.
Welcome to being flawless.


These may only be 4 don'ts, but they are the most crucial.

Thanks for your time,
and may you always be fab.
xoxo
