Beauty Mishaps to Avoid

We’ve all made makeup mistakes growing up and some of us still do.  I remember when I used to wear  dark matte gray eyeshadow and thought it was ever so chic, I was wrong.  Looking back at certain pictures I wonder what  I was doing and why on earth didn’t my friends and family ever say anything?

Here are 4 makeup pitfalls to avoid, and I mean at all costs.

1. Going overboard on the Bronzer – keep it to the bridge of your nose and apples of your cheeks – choose a light pinkish apricot color – stay away from orange. CoverFx makes my favorite bronzer – BronzerFX available in two sun-kissed worthy colors.

2. Forgo dark matte eyeshadows – your eyes will look  tired and darker matte colors are aging – stay away from frosts too! Blend, blend and blend! Try iT Cosmetics for natural gorgeous eye shadows that contain antioxidants and anti-aging properties.

3. Using a translucent powder mid-afternoon – match it to your foundation.  A translucent powder ends up looking caked and chalky. I’m really loving my jane iredale and beingTrue for that flawless look that lasts all day.

4. Skip the straight lines – lip line your lips after your lipstick application and smudge your eye liner to create a softer effect. Luminess Air makes an amazing calligraphy eyeliner that stays put all day.

Hope these little tips help – happy grooming!
