Khairavi Bharat Ram, founder and CEO of Tipsy Beauty shared with HT Lifestyle, some common makeup application mistakes that you might be guilty of making and not even know how to fix them.

1. Lips do not lie. While the idea of ​​a lip liner conjures up fond memories of the ’90s makeup trend of dark liner paired perfectly with a lighter shade of lipstick, this technique will help define your lips perfectly and prevent bleeding and feathering. The trick is to use the bottle 1-2 shades darker than your lipstick to keep the coverage intact.

Also, while overlining your lips a la Kim K is trending, the reality is that any level of overlining only looks good on camera. So if you want a sharper lip, just overdraw on the cupid’s bow and just below the center of the lower lip. If you’re feeling extra, you can layer your lipstick with a shimmery gloss.

2. Choose your equipment wisely: Ladies, please remember that dirty brushes and tools are full of bacteria that can cause breakouts that not only go back to your skin, but also to your favorite makeup products. Make a point to thoroughly clean all makeup brushes and tools every 7-10 days, and rinse your beauty blender after each use.

3. It’s all about that foundation: The first step is to apply the foundation, right? Error. When starting your routine, it’s important to prep your skin first to ensure a flawless finish. Before going in with any makeup, wash your skin with primer, moisturizer, eye cream, and sunscreen as needed. Also, while choosing the right formula for your skin type is important, focus on finding the right shade based on your tone.

The wrong shade of foundation or concealer can make your skin look flushed and discolored, leaving a gray cast on your makeup. The easiest way to find a match is to pick a few shades and apply each one along your jawline (and not the back of your palm!) and compare in natural light!
