Picture provided by YSL

Why is it that when others put on makeup, it is almost like changing their face, but when I put on makeup myself, I am uglier than without makeup? This problem requires us to practice frequently and practice makes perfect. It is also possible that you did not notice some small mistakes during the makeup process. Today, the editor of Shangzhuang will talk about the common misunderstandings of novice makeup users. It is already 2022, so don’t make these mistakes again!

Minefield 1: Foundation is too white

The main function of foundation is to even out skin tone and modify blemishes, rather than changing skin tone. Many sisters who have just started learning makeup like to choose a whiter foundation color, which results in false whitening of the face. In addition, I forgot to apply it on the neck, and the color difference between the face and neck was obvious, which was also very embarrassing. At the same time, if the base makeup is very thick, it is easy to look like a Japanese geisha. Very affecting appearance!

Correct Demonstration

Choose a base makeup color that is close to your true skin tone. If you don’t know how to choose a color, I suggest you go to a counter to try on colors and ask the counter lady to help recommend a color that suits you. In order to prevent the base makeup from being too heavy, when applying makeup, first apply the foundation on the face, and then use a beauty sponge or brush to spread it gently, paying attention to the amount. It is not recommended that you apply foundation directly with your hands. With the help of the tool's base makeup effect, it should be more natural and docile.

Minefield 2: Eyebrows that are too thick or too dark

Eyebrows are the part that most affects your appearance. Even if you don’t wear makeup, you should draw your eyebrows. Novices are most likely to overdo it when drawing eyebrows, and apply the same eyebrows as Crayon Shin-Chan. I remember that thick and black unibrows were very popular a few years ago, but now that I think about it, it’s hard to explain. In addition to eyebrow shape, the small detail of uneven eyebrow color and hair color is also easily overlooked by everyone. This looks very inconsistent.

Correct Demonstration

The choice of eyebrow shape is determined by your own face shape, so do not follow them blindly. After determining the eyebrow shape, you can decide the eyebrow pencil color according to your hair color. If you have natural hair, it’s best to use a dark brown eyebrow pencil. Because our Asian girls have yellowish skin, using gray eyebrow pencil will make the makeup look more dirty, while brown eyebrow pencil will be more harmonious. If your eyebrows are dark and profuse, you can use eyebrow dye instead of eyebrow pencil after shaping your eyebrows, so that the effect will be more natural. But if you have cool white skin and black hair, you can use gray eyebrow pencil. But be careful to start gently.

Minefield 3: Too many eye makeup colors

It is often seen that beauty bloggers like to use colorful eye shadow colors to create eye makeup, but in fact, without filters and retouching Picture, when put in real life, it will look a little exaggerated and difficult to control. And after all, if the novice's technique is not good and the blending is not done properly, it will be the hardest hit area for overturning.

Correct Demonstration

Earth tones are the safest and less error-prone choice, and are very friendly to yellow skin and swollen eyelids. At the same time, be careful not to use more than 4 colors of eye shadow at a time. When painting, pay attention to blending, small amounts and multiple times to avoid overdoing it. Try to use different brushes to apply eyeshadow. If you mix multiple colors with one brush, it will look dirty after blending. Suitable for different types of eye shadow brushes, it can also help you blend local colors accurately, giving your eye makeup a more refined effect.

Minefield 4: Obvious eyeliner

Although there is a big difference between wearing eyeliner and not wearing eyeliner, the magnification effect on the eyes is very big! But don’t pursue the effect of enlarging your eyes too much, paint yourself into panda eyes, or even pull the ends of your eyes down to your temples. Otherwise, you will really become a member of the Love Burial Family.

Correct demonstration

Normal eyeliner should have a faint effect. When painting, do not apply it above the eyelashes, but fill in the gaps at the root of the eyelashes from below. If you have oily skin, try to use liquid eyeliner as its anti-smudge effect is better than gel eyeliner.

Minefield 5: The overall makeup is “too full”

This is a common mistake made by both novices and veterans. I always want to make my makeup more delicate, which causes every part to be very hard. If you look carefully, it seems that every part of the makeup is exquisite and impeccable, but the overall effect is like entering a theater.

Proper demonstration

To learn the trade-off, you can choose to highlight only the eyes or lips. For example, Chinese makeup, which is very popular recently, pursues earth-colored eye makeup with a clean base, low-key and natural, and the focus is on highlighting the red lips. Or like a very energetic daily makeup look, the focus is not only to highlight the blush, but also pay attention to the consistency of eye, lip makeup, and blush colors. If you want every facial feature to be perfectly drawn, but avoid being too full, you can choose makeup in the same color series.
