Skipping Moisturizer

Skipping Moisturizer Moisturizer is important for more than one reason. It moisturizes your face but it also helps your face to have a smoother surface for your makeup to go on. Your foundation will glide more easily when you apply moisturizer first. There’re many different brands of moisturizer to choose from. The most important thing is that you choose one that’s right for your skin type.

Not Blending Your Foundation

Not Blending Your Foundation Ladies, no one wants to commit the jaw line makeup faux pas. The look of foundation stopping dramatically and all at once isn’t attractive. Avoid this blunder by always blending your foundation well. Making sure you’re wearing the right shade, too. To find out for sure, try it on your face and look at it in natural lighting.

3

Only Lining Your Eyes on the Bottom

Only Lining Your Eyes on the Bottom Eyeliner is a beautiful addition to your makeup routine. But it’s a makeup that can easily go wrong if you aren’t careful. One mistake that can trip you up is only wearing eyeliner on the bottom. You can get away with wearing it only on top but not only on bottom. Always balance bottom eyeliner with top eyeliner.

Pumping Your Mascara Wand

Pumping Your Mascara Wand This’s so tempting, isn’t it? It makes you feel like you’re getting more product but it doesn’t work very well. It also pushes air down into the tube of your mascara which makes it dry out more quickly. You’re better off to plan to change out your mascara every 2-3 months. This way you’ll always have plenty of mascara in your tube and you’re following good eye makeup hygiene guidelines.

5

Not Cleaning Your Brushes

Not Cleaning Your Brushes I’m guilty of this, too. It’s just so hard to squeeze in, isn’t it? I know it seems like an unnecessary chore but neglecting it can cause breakouts. If we could see the bacteria hiding in our makeup brushes then we’d probably all be more motivated to clean them. It’s a simple chore though; use a bit of your facial cleanser and warm water then rinse well and allow to air dry.

Sleeping in Your Makeup

Sleeping in Your Makeup This’s one of the worst makeup habits of all! Sleeping in your makeup can cause clogged pores, breakouts and even early signs of aging. Your skin needs to breathe, ladies! We all have nights when we’re beyond exhausted. Keep some makeup removing cloths on your nightstand for those times so you can always take your makeup off.

Not Applying Top Coat to Your Nails

Not Applying Top Coat to Your Nails This last tip can make a big difference in how long your manicure lasts. Going without a top coat means you’re going to have chips pretty quickly. Top coat protects your manicure from chips and gives it a long lasting shine. I love the top coats in the Essie line of nail products but you may have your own favorite brand. You’ll see a big difference in your nails when you start adding top coat into your manicure routine.

These’re 7 bad makeup habits to drop. Which of these are a struggle for you? I always read your comments!

I have never seen anyone only wear eyeliner on the bottom

Praise this article. A tip for washing your brushes: don't get the ferrell (where the metal connects the hair) or dry them brush facing up. It will loosen the hair and can cause shedding ~

Yes, lately I have been guilty of falling asleep while basicly sitting up anywhere from one AM to Just All night being awake.

Good article

Great advice!

Number 4 ! I need to buy fresh mascara, but maybe I can get one more application out of this bottle...... :)

Adding WAYYY too much product on. I've seen this at school. Honey, you're not a Geisha, and they dont even add that much makeup. You dont need a tube of makeup to hide once zit.

Put ur make up wipes beside ur bed so if ur really tired u can wipe ur face while sitting

I don't do any of these ! It's wrong !

"The last tip.." on the tip coat paragraph was a pun. 😛
