6 Makeup Mistakes That Make You Look Tired
There are many makeup tricks that allow us to hide our small imperfections and enhance our natural assets. But some beauty faux pas can quickly make us look tired.
Makeup can easily make you stand out. However, if it's done poorly, it can also make you look tired or too superficial. To avoid making these types of mistakes, here are 6 pitfalls to avoid.
Poorly hydrated skin
Even if the hydration of your skin is not directly linked to your makeup, it will have a significant impact on the hold of your makeup and on the final appearance of your complexion. Indeed, dehydrated skin will tend to absorb all your products. Your foundation will therefore have more difficulty holding. On the other hand, a lack of hydration can also be the cause of the early appearance of wrinkles, which can make you look more tired.
Our advice:
Moisturize your skin with a moisturizer daily. Also, remove your makeup every day to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. This will help your makeup last longer and give you a smooth, even complexion.
Wrong eyeshadow color
If you use an eyeshadow shade that doesn't match your eye color or skin tone, your makeup look may look bad. For example, if you have a very pale complexion and you choose purple or pink eye makeup, it can accentuate your dark circles.
Our advice:
Always choose the shades that will best enhance your eyes. If you have matte or dark skin, you can wear almost anything. On the other hand, if you have lighter skin, avoid purple shades. Instead, opt for golden or orange shades. If you want to wear dark makeup, opt for a black smoky eye or a dark purple.
Forget the concealer
Dark circles can appear very young and give a tired look that is difficult to hide without makeup. Corrector or concealer is therefore an essential makeup accessory. Without it, your complexion will lack radiance, which can quickly make you look bad.
Our advice:
Don't skip the concealer. It should always be in your makeup bag. Also, make sure you choose it carefully. Ideally, its shade should be slightly lighter than your skin tone. For a guaranteed healthy glow, also consider using a little blush on the top of your cheekbones. A little tip: choose pink shades for fair skin and more orange shades for dark skin.
Skip the mascara or eyeliner
Even if you have perfectly applied eye makeup, your eye makeup will not be complete without mascara and eyeliner. These finishing touches are essential to enhance your eyes and give them more intensity. Without mascara, your makeup will look dull and lack depth.
Our advice:
Eyeliner and mascara are essential for any eye makeup. Even if you don't want to do a very pronounced makeup, still finish your makeup with a light line of eyeliner and a black mascara to boost the volume of your eyelashes. If you want to save time, you can opt for permanent eyeliner !
Too much eyelash extension
Eyeliner strokes on the lash line make your eyes look bigger. However, if they are done poorly, they can also accentuate your imperfections and harden your facial features. This is particularly the case for women with drooping eyelids. In this case, an overly accentuated lash line on the lower eyelid can quickly make you look older and tired.
Our advice:
Always use a very light hand when drawing your eyeliner line on the lower lash line. If you have droopy eyelids, avoid certain makeup looks like reverse eyeliner altogether. Accentuate your upper lash line more and leave your lower lash line natural or make it up with light shades.
Unkempt eyebrows
Eyebrows frame your eyes. Well-defined eyebrow lines will bring harmony to your entire face and brighten your eyes. If you decide to wear makeup, be sure to choose the right shade of makeup, because an unsuitable shade would give an effect that is too pronounced and unnatural.
Our advice:
The key to perfectly defined eyebrows remains eyebrow waxing . It is always preferable to have it done by a professional in a salon. With makeup, you can then correct certain small imperfections and accentuate the natural lines of your eyebrow arches.
You can also consider opting for the more durable solution of permanent makeup . This alternative gives very satisfactory results, especially for sparse or thin eyebrows.
