your own face. I know this because I’ve done it, many times. I asked myself what was I thinking when I did this? There are those types of mistakes (the ones you delete IMMEDIATELY), and then there are the ones that you might be still doing every day without even realizing it. Here are some of them with their correct fixes.
1. Wearing the Wrong Shade Of Foundation
We all do it one point or another. Here is an easy fix. Just choose two shades that come closest to your skin tone, apply each of them to your jawline, and then go outside to natural light and look in a mirror. Use your own judgment to see which one looks most natural.

2. Applying Makeup To Dry Skin
This is a huge no-no. You should be exfoliating once a week, because applying foundation onto dry skin will stress flakiness, and it will sit on the top of your face instead of blending in. if you exfoliate once a week, you will be amazed at the obvious difference.
3. Not Cleaning Your Brushes
It’s disgusting to see women applying makeup with dirty brushes or old, unwashed sponges and then wondering why their makeup doesn’t look fresh, or even breaking. Wash your tools with mild shampoo or instant brush cleaner and replace them regularly.
4. Not Testing Makeup At All
You can’t just hold up a pair of jeans to see if they fit, you have to try it on. The same goes for your makeup too. You can’t trust what it looks like in the bottle, as liquid products oxidize on the skin and in the air, small color and texture changes might occur. You need to test it on your skin first.
5. Forgetting To Prime
Taking the necessary steps to prime the skin for [makeup] application is one of the biggest things in makeup application. After moisturizing and before foundation application, apply a skin primer to create a smoother, more hydrated surface that’ll hold your makeup in place for longer.

6. Wearing Too Much Makeup
Let your skin show. Unless you have severe pimples, foundation should only be used to correct minor redness and imperfections. Being heavy handed will actually make you look old. It is best to only apply a light coat of foundation and then use concealer to target specific problem areas.
8. Over-applying Lip Gloss
Lip gloss should only be applied in the center of your lip for maximum impact and shine, while maintaining the perfect shape. Applying lip gloss across all of your lips does not provide shape, it just makes the lips look overdone.

9. Not Blending Your Face to Your Neck
Aside from using the wrong shade of foundation for your face, seeing the line of foundation at your jawline is one of makeup’s biggest sins. Always blend down so your face is the same shade as your body. If it’s not, you are using the wrong color tone.
