For Ladies – 3 Morning Makeup Mistakes To Avoid!

You just woke up, you’ve
got to rush out of the house
to get to work, and you
don’t exactly have the
energy to put on a full face
of makeup. And yet, we
always seem to do just that,
and make plenty of makeup
mistakes along the way.
Avoid any makeup mishaps
with our help!

1. Putting on
makeup in the
wrong light -
If you put on your makeup in the morning and are happy with the way you
look indoors but then look like an ‘Oompa Loompa’ when you get outside,
there’s something wrong going on. “Nothing is worse, or a bigger waste of
time, than putting on a complete face, stepping outside and realizing you
need to completely start over,” Kashuk says. “Bad lighting can affect the way
you see color, cause you to overlook an unwanted smudge or mark and
most often encourage an overload of unnecessary makeup.”

So how can you fix the situation? Kashuk suggests applying makeup in as
close to daylight as possible. Doing so will give you the best read on what
your face will look like to the rest of the world and spare you any Jersey
Shore-worthy beauty mishaps.

2. Applying too much foundation -
If you think you’re improving your blemished skin by caking on the heavy
foundation, you’re actually drawing more attention to your flaws and eating
away valuable time in your morning routine. The solution? Go a bit au
naturel .

“You always want to leave skin as natural as you can,” Kashuk says. “Try
using foundation on a as-needed basis rather than covering your whole
face; if you have the right shade of foundation, it can be applied to specific
spots and seamlessly blend with your bare skin for a flawless face.”

3. Spending hours on your eye makeup -
Every woman has been guilty of this one at least once. We want our eyes to
look alluring and perfect, so we spend way too much time doing them up.
Kashuk says it doesn’t have to take forever to get that runway-ready look,
though.

“Most people will focus a lot of attention on perfecting their eye makeup,
slowly adding layer after layer of color and skillfully lining the eye,” Kashuk
says. “And while this may be a great technique for an all-out glam night on
the town, it is best to leave this type of look to the professionals.”
Keep things simple and apply a simple wash of color over the lids and add
definition at the lash-line with some liner. Want to make things even simpler?
Kashuk says she loves using a small synthetic brush to smudge out a gel or
pencil liner to take the worry out of creating a perfect, smooth line.
