Beauty Mistakes to Avoid

It happened to all of us. Beauty mistakes are done when people try finding the best solution to their problems. So next time you have to rush, think twice, look in the mirror and make sure everything is just perfect. Try new makeups and hairstyles a few days before you have to get to a formal event, avoid overdoing your look and avoid any unnatural looks. Most of the times less means more. So go for more simple styles and stand out with your natural beauty.

Cracked Lips

Cracked lips can ruin all the look of a person. It is not only a bad appearance, but it also hurts. Cracked lips are really easy to avoid: keep your body hydrated and condition. The main factors that bring cracked lips are:

• vitamin deficiencies

• climate change, sun and wind exposure

• smoking and chewing

• dehydration

• spicy food

• some diseases also.

An important thing to remember would be the fact that licking your lips make them even dryer. So stop applying saliva on your lips. Healthy lips are necessary to apply lipstick if you want to avoid a pretty bad look. In case you have to fight with dry lips, try to treat them with a few homemade remedies: apply honey, olive oil, unsalted butter, cocoa butter, aloe vera, vitamin E, and if it’s not very painful, exfoliate by rubbing them with salt, or washing them with your toothbrush. It will stimulate the blood circulation and lump the lips up. Than hydrate and you are more than ready for the lipstick. You might as well opt for a tinted moisturizer. It keeps your lips smooth and hydrated, while providing a nice color.

Clumpy Mascara

A clumpy mascara makes your entire makeup have a cheap look. But it’s quite easy to avoid it. First of all, keep your mascara’s brush as clean as possible.

Always apply mascara on the clean lashes, never over the mascara of the night before.

Remove any excess of mascara from the brush and make sure you close well the tube. Air can not only make it clumpy, but it also ruins it’s composition and you might get an infection. Do not pump the brush in and out of the tube, but swirl it in the tube to avoid getting air in it. Also, do not add water in the tube. That will only fill the composition with bacteria and you don’t want that on or in your eyes.

Apply the mascara in a proper way, without trying to get more and more extreme looks. Use fake lashes for that. Mascara’s are meant to emphasize your eyes and not to make the impossible.

To Much foundation or Blush

Avoid getting the mask effect. The foundation is meant to even out your skin tones and hide your flaws. If you overdo it, your face will look unnatural, just like plastic. Make sure you choose the proper foundation: if you don’t have any major skin problem or spots to hide, opt for a tinted moisturizer and if your skin is oily, go for the powder. Also, choose the wright shade: apply a little on the base of your neck and blend. Check if it matches at a natural light if possible, and repeat till you are absolutely sure you got the wright one. If you can’t find THE ONE, you can always mix two different shades together. This way, you can get tanned during summer and still have the proper foundation shade.

The blush has the role of emphasizing your youthful fresh look and your best features. To avoid overdoing it, make sure you have natural light when applying it and make the smoothest moves with your brush. If it’s to much, it can make a cheap and dramatic look.

If you can’t get rid of the excess of blush or foundation, than wash them off and start all over.

Overstyled Hair

An over styled hair begins with a bad hair color. Make sure you choose the one that matches your skin tone before you jump in the new hair color trends. There are endless shades of every color, so that everyone can find the one for any skin type, skin tone or personality. You can ask for a professionals opinion if you are still not sure.

If you go for two tone hair coloring, or highlights, remember to avoid bid contrasts. The more natural they look, the best effect it will have. Go for contrasts only if you want an edgy, futuristic look, that would match your whole outfit.

Another important thing to consider, is styling. It is important to keep it natural yet stylish, but never overstyled. Use as less styling products as possible, and make sure you treat your hair as often as necessary. Having a healthy hair helps a lot in styling glamorous hair and avoid hair disasters.

If you really have a bad hair day, pull your hair back, use accessories, or fashionize with a nice hat.
