common mistakes

1.) You don’t have to wear makeup to be beautiful.  Beauty, by my definition, comes from a certain attitude and a certain amount of confidence.  It truly comes from within.  Use makeup to enhance your natural beauty or to simply have fun!!
2.) Make sure to apply mascara to the roots of the lashes and wiggle out.  If you only apply it to the tips, it will weigh down the lashes and smudge.
3.) Don’t use waterproof mascara on a daily basis, it could make your lashes fall out.
4.) Don’t use a lip liner that is too dark.  Your liner should match your lipstick and it’s perfectly okay to not wear a liner at all.
5.) Blend, blend, blend!  And, when you think you’ve blended enough, blend some more!
6.) Never underestimate the power of your fingers, sponges, and the velour puff!  They make all the difference in flawless makeup.
7.) Oily skin needs to hydrate!  Look for an oil free moisturizer.
8.) Never use a concealer that is too light.  It will end up hi-lighting a problem instead of covering it.
9.) Match your foundation on your face, not on your hand!
10.) Apply lip gloss only to the center of your bottom lip to avoid bleeding and to give the lip a fuller effect.
