Makeup helps women conceal skin imperfections and look their best, whether at work or during weekend outings. However, certain common mistakes can ruin your look. On the occasion of World Makeup Day, here are the top errors to avoid:

Not Cleaning Brushes and Tools
Failing to clean brushes and tools transfers natural oils, makeup residue, and bacteria back onto the skin, potentially causing acne, clogged pores, and infections. Wash brushes and skincare tools at least once a week and replace makeup sponges every 1–3 months depending on usage.
Overapplying Makeup
Too much makeup can create a heavy, unnatural appearance. It’s best to apply makeup that conceals imperfections while maintaining a natural look.
Not Removing Makeup Before Bed
Skin repairs itself and produces new cells during sleep. Leaving makeup on overnight can clog pores, cause breakouts, and damage the skin over time. To remove makeup properly:
Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type.
Remove eye makeup first with a cotton pad and makeup remover to wipe off eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara gently.
Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water.
Not Preparing the Skin Before Makeup
Applying makeup on unprepared skin can highlight fine lines and wrinkles. To prep your skin effectively:
Apply a light layer of foundation evenly.
Use concealer sparingly or as a foundation alternative.
Apply other makeup products with a light hand.
Add a small amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward and outward.
Apply a thin layer of lipstick in the center of your lips rather than fully covering them with a creamy shade.
Skip false eyelashes, use an eyelash curler, and spend a few extra minutes applying mascara.
Avoid applying too much concealer under the eyes.
By following these tips, you can ensure a polished, natural, and healthy makeup look.
