11 Makeup Mistakes you don’t Realize you’re Making Part 2

Mistake No. 4: Trying to “plump” your lips You’ve probably heard, or tried, the trick of lining just outside your natural
lip line to make your lips look bigger. But it’s way easier said than done. One wrong move and you’ll end up looking like Pamela Anderson circa 1993. If you are going to attempt it, Patel says to use a lip liner the same shade as your lipstick on the outer line of your lips, without passing over it. Fill in your lips as well — that way if your lipstick fades, you don’t wind up with only a line around your mouth. We confess: “The makeup artist for my wedding drew lip liner outside my lips — I guess it was to make my lips look fuller, but all I kept thinking was ‘porn star,'” says editor in chief Beth. “Not exactly what I was going for. When she packed up and left for the day, I dialed it way back with a Q-Tip and vowed never again.”

Mistake No. 5: Over-tweezing (or ignoring) your eyebrows“When [brows are] well groomed they can enhance your eyes and your entire look,” Patel says. So go to a professional to get an ideal shape. While you do want to tame overgrown brows, Patel stresses that you don’t want to tweeze too much. “As we get older, our brows naturally become sparser, so if you tweeze your brows too thin they might never fully grow back,” she says. So just stick with
cleaning up the area around your brows and follow their natural arch for your best shape. We confess: “I’ve totally over-tweezed my eyebrows,” says associate editor Alexis. “What usually happens is this: I try to clean up the strays and notice a few stragglers on the end. I remove a few hairs from the end, and then think it looks uneven. Before I know
it, half my eyebrow is missing. On both sides. This is why I get them threaded — professionally.”

Mistake No. 6: Wearing an entire eye palette on your lids “Just because your compact came with four or more colors packaged together doesn’t mean you have to paint them all onto your eyelids at once,” Patel says. Instead, she recommends wearing no more than three shades at a time: a medium one on your lids, a lighter one near your brow bone and a dark one as liner. But for everyday, you really only need a sweep of one shade across your lid. We confess: “Yes, I had delusions of grandeur and thought I could get all fancy on my eyelids,” says senior editor Sarah. “I had a different shade of liner on my top and bottom lash lines, a brow highlighting shade, crease shade and at least two shades on my lids. Had this been done by an actual makeup artist I’m sure it could have been quite beautiful — but since I’m so not one — it looked like a hot mess. The only saving grace: I had enough time before going out to wash it off and start over.”

Mistake No. 7: Trying to “sculpt” your face Yes, we would all love chiseled cheekbones and a dainty, ski-slope nose,
but if nature didn’t deliver, makeup isn’t going to help. Patel says contouring is best left to professionals, and only for photography or film. “No matter how skilled you are with the makeup brush, it’s nearly impossible to use dark colors that aren’t glaringly obvious when viewed in person, especially in broad daylight,” Patel says. “Focus instead on pretty, soft makeup that plays up your best features.” We confess: “OK, so I have a round face and therefore use whatever means necessary, i.e. makeup, to help slim it,” says associate editor Anna. “It’s safe to say I have gotten a little heavy-handed with the bronzer under my cheekbones on more than one occasion.”
