TOP 5: BEAUTY MISTAKES EVERYONE MAKES?

So a few weeks ago, I was scrolling and fiddling around with Pinterest (as usual) and I came across an article. When I was reading this post, I went into total shock! I know this may or may not be always true but when I read these and thought about them, I realized that maybe humanity was wrong this whole time. So, today, I want to share with you guys these "mistakes" and educate you guys!

If you don't truly think these are mistakes, then go ahead and do your own thing. We all are unique...aren't we? So, here are the top 5 beauty mistakes everyone makes! Also, a little disclaimer, I am not the ones who thought of these ideas and do not take any credit. As I said, I found them on Pinterest so, please don't think I'm wrong. I'm only sharing with you guys the information I recieved! Now, this intro has been quite long, so LET'S GET STARTED!

1. Matching Foundation on the Back of Your Hand

Now this is quite obvious in many reasons why we shouldn't match it on the back of our hands. When we're at the store and on the hunt for the perfect foundation, we obviously aren't going to just apply it on our face to see if it matches cause then... the store workers are gonna get furious. So, to be more polite, we check the skintone colour by swatching it on our hand. The reason why I'm telling you to avoid this is because your face and hands are mostly never the same skintone. Your arms are obviously going to get tanned more than your face would. So, matching skintones with your hand, is just leading you to getting a darker colour or even vice versa.

2. Wearing Waterproof Mascara Everyday

Now, I'm guilty of this. My "Maybelline Lash Sensational" mascara is actually waterproof. But, even though I don't swim, I always wear this mascara cause it's one of my favourite. Though, waterproof mascara isn't very healthy to your lashes. When you take them off, you obviously gotta rub your eyes like CRAZY (I know I do) to get the mascara off. Doing this leads to dry lashes, which no girl wants.

3. Cream vs. Powder

When we wear blush, we often use powdered blush because it's easy to apply and remove. BUT, if you're looking for that more natural blush to your cheeks, powder isn't the way to go. Cream blush gives it a more natural looking glow and it actually blends with your skin, making it look natural. A bonus is that cream actually lasts longer. Now, I gotta go grab my coat because I don't own any cream blush...great.

4. Ready. Set. NO!

If you aren't in the full makeup mood on the weekends usually, you probably will only just wear concealer, lipstick, primer & mascara. Well, this is a BIG NO NO! Well....really for the concealer because when you apply concealer with or without primer, it has a big chance of shifting and revealing your biggest,reddest secrets. So, what do you have to do order for it to set? Well, I know just the answer. Go get your most favourite translucent powder and dab a little bit of it on top of the concealer and that should work!

5. Strike One. Strike Two. Strike 3. You're Out!

Now this is the most OBVIOUS AND STUPIDEST mistake everyone (including me) makes. No matter how much product there is (especially face products), after 3-5 months, you got to throw it out! The longer you have the product, the more old and "filthy" the product is becoming which will damage your skin. Especially with foundation, if you purchased your foundation about 3 months ago, well say goodbye. Because, having old makeup products too are a reason on why red dots appear more everyday. I wouldn't necessarily care about this rule with eyeliner, mascara & brow fillers. But, with all the other products, this is a key essential.

So, I hope you guys enjoyed this post and learned a few things for the next time you wear makeup. Comment down below, if you've been doing most of these techniques wrong and just feel stupid. If you are, then join the club with me! That is all for today and thank you for sitting around! Love you lots and talk to you soon! Bye!
