Top 8 Makeup Mistakes:

1. Dirty brushes

Blame it on the oblivion or sheer love of procrastination, but a lot of us are constantly using some really really dirty brushes. Dirty brushes not only affect the way a product is applied but also cause your skin to break out. You need to wash your brushes at least once a month and avoid these makeup mistakes.

2. Sleeping with makeup on

There are days (majorly nights) when you’re dead tired and there’s absolutely nothing that you would want to do, other than falling asleep. However, even on days like these do try to remove your makeup or else you would be exposing your skin to a lot of damage.

3. Waterproof mascara

Waterproof mascara is a god’s gift on days you’re visiting a place where you’re prone to get wet or cry or anything of that sorts. However, using the same in your daily makeup routine is not at all advisable. Waterproof mascara formulas are pretty drying which will cause your lashes to become brittle and break off. Save yourself from this makeup mistake, as soon as possible.

4. Makeup storage

Storing your day-to-day makeup in shower cabinets make a lot of sense, since you can easily apply and get rid of it, however, it shouldn’t be stored in there. The moisture from the showers can make your makeup to dry out pretty quickly and run out faster. Plus, storing makeup in the bathroom makes it more prone to collecting bacteria.

5. Not using primer

Not using primers, or applying makeup on a bare face, is a makeup mistake that a lot of make on a daily routine, and we need to get rid of it. Using primer not only saves you from the uneven skin but also offers a smooth surface for your foundation to simply glide on.

7. Applying concealer before foundation.

Applying concealer before the foundation is another makeup mistake that many make. Doing this makes your makeup appear heavy and somehow can even bring the spotlight on the very pimples you were trying to hide.

8. Curling lashes after mascara.

Never, and I repeat never curl lashes after applying mascara on them. it can cause your lashes to bend unnaturally. Instead, curl your lashes before you put on the mascara–this will make them look much more natural.
