Makeup DON'TS (part 1)

Sup,

I think makeup isn't only a fashion statement, but there's so much artistry behind it. That being said art can turn on terrible and so can a fashion piece.

There are many mess ups you can  make but I wanted to show you one and how to fix iy. I'm probably going to do a part 2 just because there are billion of "makeup don'ts". These are opinionated; you may like the way it looks, but from what I've seen and heard they are anything BUT flattering.


Now it's kinda obvious that the hope with makeup is that you have even skin, a nice eye, pretty lips; you get the idea. Makeup however can make you look worse. The idea is to wear on BIG statement like bright lips (or dark lips) and bold eyes, or bright cheeks; but all of them at once make you look like this....


With that in mind let's get started:

1) To much blush/bronzer. This can make you look like a clown and makes you like kinda stupid. This can be such a tragic thing, as if you are't paying attention you could end up looking like your really embarrassed. I constantly see Christian Aguilera wearing way too much blush and bronzer. I found about 4 whole pages of different pictures of her on google images looking like a clown.






How to avoid the "too much blush" look:

1) apply a small amount and add until you have enough, don't glob on a lot so you won't have to remove some

2) use a natural blush shade (or just something that isn't blinding); to find your natural shade clench your hand in a fist, the color you see by you knuckles is the closest color.

3) If you put on too much instead of pulling out the wipes just apply a bit more of your all-over face powder. This will mute the color a bit and then you can either go with what's left of the blush on your cheeks; or add a SMALL amount.

So I hope this helps you guys get a natural looking blush, that still looks bright enough for your standard without looking like you just ran a marathon. (here are some good blush looks)









Hope you had a great weekend!!
