The Worst Make Up Game Mistakes


Everyone makes mistakes, but some people make bigger ones that others. Here are some of my favorite terrible mistakes:

Raccoon Eyes
When you line your eyes on the top and bottom with heavy liner and then use black mascara to make the rings around your eyes even darker, you’re running the risk of looking more like a raccoon than a sweet young thing. The problem gets worse when you use a dark eyeshadow as well.

Bleeding Lips
If you don’t’ naturally have thick, luscious lips, use a shiny lip gloss to make them look larger, but don’t go outside the natural shape of your lips with a lip pencil. This just looks scary and clown like. When you draw with lip pencil, you should be shading the edge of your natural lip not creating a new one half an inch down your chin.

Mismatched Base
When you wear base, it should blend into your skin perfectly. If your base is standing out as orange on your white skin or making you look pasty when you should look tan, you’ve got the wrong base. Ask an expert for a consultation to help you find the right one.
