10 Common Make Up Mistakes - and how to fix them!


  1. Foundation - The most common error is that you look like you are wearing a mask OR you wear no foundation at all!
  • One reason you should wear foundation is to protect your skin. Its purpose is to look like skin and even your skin tone.
  • Prevent the mask look or 'the line' by choosing the correct shade. Apply a small dab on your jawline. Gently rub it in and let it dry. You should not be able to see it. If it is visible, it is the wrong shade. Match your ivory, beige and bronze skin tones with undertones of yellow, pink and bronze.
  • The right foundation weight such as full coverage or light coverage depends on your type (oily, dry, or combination).
  • Trying it on the back of your hand doesn't work. Your hand color and tone is quite different than you face color!
  • Gently dab your foundation on. Then smooth it over your forehead, cheeks and throat. Rubbing it smears and pulls at your skin.
