I do not know about you, but many times in past I used to ask myself why my makeup just did not look as fine as I want. No matter how prudent and stubborn I was to make myself prettier than I naturally appear in front of the mirror, the effect was never long-lasting or attractive enough. I did my homework. I made research what women usually do and where they fail in their everyday or special event makeup routines. So now I know the answer of the question. And will help you to figure it out, too, by giving you the top reasons why your makeup does not look as good as you want!
1. The foundation you use does not match
It does not match two things – first of all, your facial skin type and second of all, your facial shade. It is essential for you to find a foundation – either liquid or cream-based – that will suit your facial type as to whether it is dry, greasy, sensitive, normal and etc. But what is even more important is to match it with your own natural complexion. Otherwise, the makeup you create will just look too artificial and fake!
2. You put too light concealer!
The concealer you put to hide the dark circles beyond your eyes, as well as those little pimps must not be lighter than your foundation or powder, but darker. This is something personally I have made for years as a mistake and when I found out what the right approach is, the change in my makeup was just amazing!
3. No highlights
Making your face in one shade only will make you look as a doll. You do not get the effect of the makeup you want, because you just forget to highlight the accents. It is significant to put some accents with darker blush or shimmering pieces on your T-zone, on the forehead and of course, on your cheeks. This is how the smooth makeup conception is done by professional makeup artists, as well!
4. The ears need some makeup, too!
You do put some foundation and powder on your eyelids, right? Then, why do you, then, forget the ears? They are part of your face, as well, and they need some makeup on the contrary!
5. Eye makeup needs detailed configuration
Just putting of your favourite eye shadow product and colour on your eyes is not enough, either. What you need to do is to make accents, to create a detailed makeup conception that starts from somewhere and ends with awesome highlight. So just an eyeliner and one single shade are not completely enough for the eye makeup.
6. Lips are gone….
Some women prepare fantastic makeup idea and leave it with no sign of lips. This usually happens due to big quantity of foundation or to lack of a bright and cool lipstick. What you need to remember is that lips must stand out and blush is not the accent, but lips are!
