Makeup Mistakes to Avoid (and What to Do Instead)

Nobody’s perfect—but we can level up our makeup game with a few easy tweaks. Here are 5 common mistakes and how to fix them:
1. Skipping Skin Prep
Going straight to foundation without moisturizing leads to patchy, uneven coverage. Always prep your canvas!
2. Over-Powdering
Too much powder = cakey finish. Apply powder lightly and only where you need it—our setting powder does the job without buildup.
3. Mismatched Foundation
Test shades on your jawline, not your hand. And consider switching formulas with the seasons.
4. Ignoring the Brows
Your brows frame your face! Even a light fill-in with a pencil or brow gel can change your whole look.
5. Forgetting to Blend
Harsh lines around the jaw, nose, or eyes? A damp sponge or fluffy brush is your best friend.
Connected Tip: Makeup is a skill—and like anything else, it gets better with practice. Keep playing and learning what works for you.
