We have all adopted some kind of makeup routine since we started learning how to apply it. However, have you ever noticed that the same makeup routine you follow religiously might not be working all the time? Well, it is important to ensure your makeup rituals are healthy and age-appropriate. So while you’re busy experimenting, we have put together some makeup mistakes that make you look tired which must be avoided at any cost.
What Makeup Makes You Look Tired
Is your makeup making you look dull? Makeup when not applied properly makes you look sick and tired. Here are some of the makeup mistakes that make your makeup look dull and tired.
You Skip Moisturizer
Don’t apply makeup before you put on a moisturizer. Applying any makeup on dry, flaky skin can make you look incredibly tired and dried out. Moisturizer will do wonders for your skin. It smoothes the skin’s surface for a more even foundation or concealer application and can even help makeup stay on longer. It helps to hydrate your skin from the dry dull look.
Applying Too Much Eyeliner
We all love to define our eyelids by applying different colors of eyeliners. But it might not be such a good idea to make it too thick and dark. Thick and dark lines give the impression of having small or tired eyes.
We Never Touch Up
After a couple of hours, every makeup needs to be touched up and redone. Your lipstick might be smudged or your eyeliner might have spread all around your eyes or you might have even sweat off your foundation and many more makeup collapses may happen. Whatever problems you have with your makeup should be fixed every couple of hours unless you want to look all unkempt and as if you sleep with your makeup on.
You Forget About Blush
Blush lightens our faces. It adds a touch of color. If you forget to add blush after applying concealer and foundation, you will end up looking shabby.
Apply the Right Foundation
The foundation should be applied right. Not too little not too much and in the same shade as your skin tone. Wearing no foundation at all will make you look pale and when you apply lipstick or mascara the skin will stand out looking all ugly.
If you wear your foundation like a cake then it will look ugly, with lines and wrinkles that are likely to form. Wear your foundation right by selecting the right color that matches your cheekbones or inner arms. And most important of all, do not forget to blend your foundation to make it look all-natural and not like you have something to hide in your face.
You Use the Wrong Undereye Concealer
Concealer that looks too dark or too light for your face will inevitably make you look so dull and tired. Apply it in a well-lit room to make sure that it looks natural. And whenever you test a new product, use a hand mirror to see how it looks in different rooms with varied lighting.
