Wrong Method #1: Applying blush directly with a large brush onto the cheekbones.
Correct Method: Use a blush brush to sweep in circular motions from the base of the ear toward the cheekbones.
Wrong method #2: Applying eyeliner to the inner eyelid and making it thick to make eyes appear larger.
Correct method: Apply a thin line of eyeliner along the outer edge of the eyelid.
Wrong method #3: Applying a layer of loose powder all over the face to create a luminous effect.
Correct Method: Apply powder lightly only to the center of the chin and forehead.
Wrong Method 4: Holding the mascara wand vertically to apply to lashes. This is dangerous and can accidentally injure the eye.
Correct Method: Hold the wand horizontally and apply gently.
Wrong Method 5: Cleaning makeup tools only once a week.
Correct Method: Clean them after every use.
Mistake #6: Applying foundation heavily to cover facial imperfections.
Correct Method: Apply concealer first, then foundation.
Mistake #7: Applying too much color-enhancing eyeshadow.
Correct Method: Avoid applying it too thickly, as this can make eyes appear round.
Mistake #8: Using cream foundation on dry skin.
Correct Method: Cream foundations contain high oil content. Oil can seep into skin and cause fine lines. Use water-based foundation instead.
Mistake #9: Applying powder foundation on oily skin. This strips the entire face of its natural glow.
Correct method: Use a damp powder puff instead.
Mistake #10: Applying powder directly with a puff around the eyes.
Correct method: The delicate skin around the eyes doesn't hold powder well when applied with a puff. Instead, lightly press powder onto the area using your fingertips.
