9 Things All Makeup Artists Want Girls To Stop Doing Right Now

Written by Shivani K  • 

Makeup is an art that makes women feel more beautiful about themselves. If you closely observe the beauty trends of the decades that have gone by, you’ll notice that back then, makeup was something that only the elite women would use. But now, thanks to various social media sites like Instagram and Facebook, where hundreds of makeup tutorials are being preached, women sure have become friends with the makeup.

Learning to use makeup products and doing makeup on yourself or others is not easy. Makeup is all about highlighting the features of the face which helps refine the confidence in you. But yes, there’s a thin line between doing good makeup that beautifies you and then there’s wrong makeup that makes you look like you were a clown.

Most of us might already be practicing the wrong makeup steps and we have no idea that they are wrong! So, here’s a list of the makeup tricks that professional makeup artists would want you girls to stop doing right away. Read on.

Dear girls, please take note of this seriously that the foundation is used to hide all the unevenness on your face and it is clearly not supposed to make you look fairer by five or ten shades! It’s very important to pick a foundation color that matches your skin tone; otherwise, your face will look cakey and overly done.

#2 Applying More Than One Layer Of Base

If you’re getting ready for work or college, just one layer of base is sufficient to hide your spots and even out the skin. Only at times when you’re dressing up for a wedding or some event, you could go ahead and add another layer to the base. Wearing too much of base is like wearing a board on your face that reads — “I have a lot of makeup on my face.”

#3 Going For Various Skin Treatments

If you are suffering from minor skin problems like rashes, normal pimples, and meager pigmentation, we suggest that you try out some home remedies that are all-natural. Going to a parlor or a dermatologist to get chemical facials done on a frequent basis will make your skin dull. Also, it speeds up your skin aging process.

#4 Pulling Eyes To Apply Eyeliner

We get it, doing this can come naturally to us as we can see where the liner is going while we’re applying it. But, makeup artists think of it otherwise, they say that applying liner by pulling your eyes will cause creases and cracks, and it will loosen out the skin of the upper lid.

#5 Lining Your Lips Outside Your Lip Line

Nobody has ever said that applying a lip liner on the exterior of the lip line will help make the lips look bigger, fuller, and plump. Doing this will only make your lip makeup look shabby. To plump your lips use a lip plumper; you can also use a lip moisturizer enriched with vitamin E.

#6 Sticking To Only One Style All The Time

Everybody has their own unique style. Some love their winged eyeliners whereas some love their dark lips, but don’t always do just that. Experiment with your looks a little. Don’t get boring with your makeup. Remember that it is an art and you should be getting creative with it once in a while at least.

#7 Applying Blush With A Blob

Beauty stars like Kareena Kapoor Khan are blessed with a natural blush-on. And if you’re someone who admires Korean makeup and is trying to get that perfect pink or peachy cheeks, use the right brushes. Don’t try to achieve that by using the blob brush, it’s like painting your cheeks pink which will look very artificial. Make sure you use the right brush and apply gentle strokes on your cheeks with the blush.

#8 Not Cleaning Your Makeup Tools

Makeup brushes and tools accumulate the leftover traces of makeup along with dust particles in their bristles. Using somebody else’s brushes or not cleaning your own makeup brushes can lead to skin problems like infections or allergies. Beauty experts emphasize on cleaning makeup brush regularly.

#9 Curling Eyelashes After Application Of Mascara

Who does that? Your eyelashes cannot look bigger or fuller if you curl them after applying the mascara. Always remember that first, you need to curl the lashes, and next you need to go grab the mascara wand. And the trick to fuller eyelashes is to move the mascara brush back and forth on your eyelashes.

These are some of the habits that makeup artists want women to stop doing ASAP. If you are a makeup artist and want to add something here, do leave your suggestions in the comments below.
