11 Makeup Mistakes You Don't Realize You're MakingHow do we know? Because we were making them too -- until we got this advice |
0 of 12
That's a lesson we learned the hard way when we talked to New York City makeup artist Susmta Patel. When she told us about 11 super-common makeup mistakes she sees almost daily, we were stunned. And more than a little embarrassed. Because all of us at some point or another had committed these blunders (and most of us thought we looked pretty good at the time to boot).
Click here to see 11 bad makeup mistakes you're probably making.
However, once we recovered from our shock and humiliation, we were glad she shared. We'd rather know (and fix!) our makeup mistakes than strut around looking like clowns. And now that we know, we can share these mistakes with you, so you never walk out of the house with bad makeup (again). Plus, in the spirit of sisterhood and community, we've each 'fessed up to the makeup mistakes we've committed. Join in and share which ones you're guilty of -- no judgment. After all, your confessions will make us feel a bit better about our own misguidedness.

I used to always wear black eyeliner all day, everyday. But lately I've been using brown eyeliner and I completely agree.

I agree with most of the tips. I do a smoky eye often, and really like black eyeliner in my water line once and a while.

Lol, as I read this I am wearing a smoky eye consisting mainly of blue eye shadow. For my foundation, I did a light contour for my cheekbones. I pencil in my eyebrows because the are already full with only a few minor imperfections. And to top it off, I'm wearing black eyeliner! (It's daytime) However, I am complemented often on my makeup. So I agree with some of these, but others, not at all.

I use black eyeliner in the day time and it works for me.

yes we all have different opinions.. from "make-up should be whatever you prefer" to "maybe I do use to much bronzer" but this article is for woman who are trying to achieve the most natural (I barely try at all and still look flawless look) these are clearly tips to not looking like fake barbie dolls. Now if you like your your eyes to look like Rocky got mad at them, and your eyebrows to look like you get them waxed weekly and let your daughter play artist.. by all means do your thing... Me on the other hand would love to learn how to look like im wearing absolutley NOTHING... (:

hit and miss for me, i love some of these tips while some are up for debate, i use pencil for my brows and it works better than shadows/brow powders.
