No No's in Makeup!

Forget all the recommended methods, trends and styles of cosmetics, there are always a few rules that were never meant to be broken when doing your makeup. Think about when you were learning to do your makeup you always heard more of what not to do then to do. Mistakes happen but they are hard to miss when they are on your FACE!

This is a great example of no no in makeup!

Makeup Offense Numero Uno (1) : FOUNDATION.
This is the most commonly used cosmetic and the easiest to make a mistake with. It happens before you even start to apply it! You need to prepare your face for makeup, never put it on dirty skin, that's just not okay! For best results everyday you need to wash and exfoliate you face before you even think about touching your cosmetics.

Choose wisely when you go to pick out a foundation for your self. Never get one that is drastically darker then your own skin tone. I promise it is noticeable! If you feel like you can't find an exact match go a shade lighter, it is a million times less noticeable then a darker shade.

Most importantly never ever forget to blend your foundation to the curves of your face, you don't want it to look like you are wearing a flesh colored mask.

Something a lot of people forget is to NEVER wear foundation on its own. It gives a good smooth base but make your face look monotone, always follow up with some powder bronzer and/or blush to bring back the life to your face.

Makeup Offense Numero Dos (2): BLUSH.

Believe it or not it too has to be properly blended after you apply it. No woman can possibly think that harsh streaks across your cheeks is flattering... and if you do, I promise you blending will make you look even better! Not even on a fashion runway do they not blend their blush, IT NEVER HAPPENS...BLEND! There should never be a solid line between the color of your blush to the color of your skin.

Makeup Offense Numero Tres (3): Lipstick.

A girls favorite makeup accessory, and yet many dont know that if your lips are chapped you do no i repeat DO NOT wear lipstick. The color of the lipstick only enhances your chapped skin and makes your lips look oh not so good...Many lipsticks end up drying your lips and will make the condition worse, EVEN if you claim you moisturize. If you just have to have that lip color choose something that uses deep conditioning product with a nice light hue.

 Makeup Offense Numero Cuatro (4): Makeup Removal. 

This is one of the biggest mistakes women make, not removing their makeup at the end of the day. Tisk, tisk to those of you who do that! never sleep in your makeup, it is terrible for your skin in every way. It not only means you need to wash off oil and makeup off with cleanser, but you also need to make sure all eyeliner and mascara is removed as well. You may not ever need to use foundation again if you do this step everyday. Happy skin makes for a happy you!

Don't be her.. LOVE YOUR SKIN!

REMEMBER NUMBER ONE RULE IN MAKEUP IS LESS IS MORE!
