Very few of us have been either professionally trained in how to apply makeup or some of us like me are self taught and started learning from watching youtube videos. So it stands to reason that we're going to make a mistake every now and then. These're some of the most common makeup mistakes women make. If you're aware of them then you can be sure they don't happen to you!
1. THE DREADED FOUNDATION LINE.
This's a makeup mistake you can spot from a mile away. When someone makes this mistake, you almost feel embarrassed for them. It happens when you're wearing the wrong shade or you don't blend your makeup in carefully. If you suspect you're wearing a foundation color that's not right for you then ask a consultant for help at your favorite makeup counter. And blend, blend, blend!
2. CONCEALER CAKING UNDER YOUR EYE AND CREASING UNDER YOUR EYE.
This one happens very easily. In fact, i'd say it's happened to almost all of us at one time or another. Concealer is a magical makeup product but it can be cakey. To prevent this, make sure you pat your concealer in instead of rubbing it. Also, remember a little goes a long way. To avoid creases under your eyes make sure you set your under eye concealer with setting powder to avoid the concealer from moving. This prevents creasing under the eye and gives you a flawless look. This is a very important step in your makeup routine.
3. CONTOURING CAN MAKE YOU LOOK DIRTY.
Contouring is really tricky. It can make your face look absolutely stunning, not to mention slimmer. But it's not easy to accomplish. If you master your facial structure properly and use the right shade for your skintone to contour you can achieve a flawless look other than looking dirty. If you feel like contouring makes your face look dirty then you're either using a product that's too dark or you're applying too much of it. Try switching to using the right shade for your skin tone and apply lightly to get a nice finish.
4. YOUR BLUSH LOOKS TOO STRONG .
This's one I have to be careful about when applying cause I don't want it over shadowing my contour.
Blush that looks too strong distracts from the rest of my makeup. In fact, its all everyone would really focus on. If your blush looks more like paint than a natural flush, tone it down by blending it out and adding a light layer of powder on top.
5. EYESHADOW FADES INTO CREASE
Some women have more trouble with this than others. It seems like women who have oily skin or oily eye lids struggler with it the most. The solution to it is simple. Apply an eye primer before you apply your eyeshadow. If you still have problems with the only eyeshadow left at the end of the day being in the crease then you need to shop for a better brand of primer to avoid your eyeshadow from creasing and lasting all day.
6. EYE LASHES AND EYELASH BAND LOOKING MESSY AND DIRTY.
This is one problem i really think we ladies need to pay more attention. When applying your strip lashes make sure the lash band is clean to avoid having a messy look. Make sure you take away the excess dried up glue from the last time you used the lashes before re using it. Apply little eye lash glue on your lashes so it would appear neat and easy for you to handle when applying your lashes. You clearly don't want to be that crazy girl walking around with messy eyelashes. If your lashes are dirty make sure you wash it with warm water and a mild facial cleanser carefully and you have a nice clean pair of lashes. I cant stress enough about how important this is. Please take your time when applying your lashes.
7. UNFLATTERING LIPSTICK .
Lipstick can be the finishing touch that makes your whole look come together. It can also make your makeup look very, very, wrong. Start by wearing shades that are flattering on your skin tone and ones you feel comfortable in the most. Shop for shades that's close to your lip color ; this's what makeup junkies frequently refer to as a " your lips but better " shade. Ask a friend who's talented with makeup to come along if you feel you need help.

I think I'm getting the hang of contouring but highlighting is still quite tricky for me. Maybe I'm using the wrong colour or something. It's very impressive that you're self-taught, nice work x

Thank you Ada😘. If you can contour highlighting shouldn't be a problem. I first of all apply my foundation then I use my concealer which is like two shades lighter than my foundation. Then I use a damp beauty blender and blend it into my skin. After this step I then set it with my translucent powder to keep it in place and avoid it from creasing. Contouring is next when you use a concealer or powder two shades darker than your foundation to sculpt out your cheeks bones, fore head and nose and you set it with a face powder that's your skin color to reduce the harsh lines and this would blend the contour nicely into your skin. I would recommend mineralise skin finish by Mac it's amazing. Practice and am sure you would get better . I hope this could help you.
