Most Common Cosmetic Mistakes
Women want to be beautiful.
But they are human.
They make mistakes.
Even with lots of types of makeup in the market, human as we are, we are bound to make mistakes. Women do with what they have in order to look fab & beautiful but in many cases, instead of beautifying; they make mistakes, much more a disaster.
Moderation and Sensibility
These two are to be considered when you put on makeup. Too much does not mean that it will hide all the flaws. In fact, it may even make the flaws more visible. It is also important to know, through trial and error, what works for you.
Here are some tips
The foundation color should blend in the first time you have tested it.
Many women make the mistake of choosing foundation color that is a shade darker than their skin color. This is a big-no-no. You would not want to have dark face with lighter neck. If you want to go natural, opt for a foundation that will juts bled in an add some bronzing powder on the T-zone.
Emphasize only ONE aspect of the face.
Also with this one, women make the mistake of emphasizing everything: their eyes, lips and cheeks at once. Makeup now is about accentuating one part and downplaying the others. If you want to emphasize the eyes, then color the lips in nude or light pink. If you want to emphasize the lips, then, the best eye makeup would be natural. Just put some mascara over brown base eye color.
Don’t go over the top with your lip gloss.
Women use lip gloss if they don’t want lipsticks. Lip glosses are the soft takes on lip color. But there is what we call lip gloss abuse. This happens when women put too much lip gloss on their lips. Instead of creating plumped lips with subtle hints of color, they end up looking like they have eaten a chunk of pork fat. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS
How to Wear Stylish Colors
How to Wear Stylish Colors
Before you head to the first clothes shop you see, think of the colors that might look good on you. Skin tones, like the eyes are categorized according to seasons. If you want to know what season you belong to, check the forearm for some veins. If these look blue, you belong most probably to the cool season. If it’s greenish, then you belong to the warm group. People with cool tones would normally have pale or dark skin with blue or pink undertones. Bright colors work best for these groups of people. Warm-toned people tend to have gold or yellowish undertones. Earth colors work best with them as well as black.Aside from the season categories, there are three skin types that men should look for.
All colors are suitable for dark-skinned people. It is better if one sticks to bright colors and avoid the extreme like being too bright and too dark. Fair-skinned people should stick to dark colors. Light ones make them washed out. Shades of blue, green and the primary colors are perfect. Black can also be used as long as it is paired with bright accessories. Earth tones and pastels should be avoided as well.
Medium-skinned men should avoid the colors brown, yellow and green, especially if their skin tones and hair color is the same. For a more upbeat feel to the choice of colors, try beige or cream. Pure whites can be harsh for this group of people. Opt for the creams and sand colored slacks and shirts. This means that wear something dark against a light piece like slacks.
