Make-up disasters you should avoid

By: Malu Fernandez Manila Standard

Every woman loves to wear make-up. Even those who don’t regularly use it love going to the salon to get themselves all dolled up. The problem is no one really teaches us how to use the products early on and it is simply a trial-and-error basis until we find the right look. The use of make-up usually starts during our tweens or early adolescent years—a dab of lip gloss here and some gel blush and we are good to go. As we get older, we find the need to use more products like foundation, coverup for blemishes, lip liners etc... But the more products we use, the more prone we are to making mistakes and end up looking like caricatures of ourselves, hence the saying “she looks better without make-up.” That is one term I will never believe in. Make-up is available to enhance our positive features and disguise any negative features we have. If you misuse the product, you end up looking like a disaster.

So what are the most common mistakes?

• Using the wrong shade of foundation

• Looking like a racoon

• Mismatched lip liner

• Having clown cheeks

• Clumpy lashes

• Cakey foundation
