1. Neglecting the jawline and neck: Before purchasing foundation, apply it to your jawline first. Then stand in natural light and check the effect in a mirror. Remember to blend the foundation thoroughly, ensuring the jawline and neck area appear light and natural.
2. Wrinkles become more noticeable Some believe thick foundation around eyes and mouth can conceal wrinkles, but this backfires. Foundation settles into lines, emphasizing them and making you look older! Translucent foundation works better.
3. Foundation alone: If you don't set your foundation with powder, your makeup will melt away quickly. Applying a light dusting of powder over your foundation keeps your look flawless all day.
4. Applying foundation too thickly On days when your skin isn't looking its best, many people instinctively apply foundation heavily to blemished areas, hoping to conceal imperfections. However, this approach is incorrect. You should apply foundation evenly across your face and use concealer specifically to cover problem spots.
5. Incorrect concealer application Concealer's purpose is to hide imperfections, but uneven application creates more flaws than it hides. Blending concealer thoroughly is crucial.If you find finger application ineffective, try using a small makeup brush—like a lipstick brush—to blend the concealer outward.
