How to Solve the Most Common Makeup Problems

If you regularly apply makeup, you’ll probably agree with this statement: “Some days I love makeup, some days I hate makeup, but no matter what, I can’t live without it.”

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a makeup artist or novice, because, when you’re striving for perfection, you’ll often find something goes wrong. From smudging your lipstick to not perfecting your eyebrows, we all face common makeup problems.

However, by arming yourself with these quick fixes, you can overcome these common issues in no time at all:

Am I Applying My Makeup in the Right Order?

A lot of people apply their foundation first. However, if you’re using eye shadow, it’s a good idea to start with your eyes first. This removes any of those frustrating situations where you smudge something, or your eye shadow falls onto your cheeks and you have to redo your foundation (let’s face it, we’ve all been there).

Do I Need to Use Lip Liner When I Wear Lipstick?

Thankfully, when it comes to makeup there are no hard-and-fast rules. So, if you’re not a fan of applying lip liner before your lipstick, or you’re in a hurry, you won’t be committing a cardinal sin by omitting this from your makeup routine.

Granted, lip liner’s great for making your lips stand out, but it isn’t a necessity.

How Can I Make Sure My Eyebrows Look Natural?

As more of us look to add definition to our eyebrows, this has left some of us reaching for a black pencil to fill them in. Sadly, this often means our eyebrows look caterpillar-like in appearance – and when this happens, leaving the house is a no-no.

To avoid this, opt for a pomade, powder, or pencil that’s a shade lighter or the same shade as your natural hair color. Apply in light strokes, building up the product gradually to add natural definition.

How Much Makeup Should I Wear?

The amount of makeup you wear will depend on where you’re going, what you’re doing, and whether you want to cover anything up (e.g. dark circles or blemishes).

For example, if you’re heading to the shops to pick a few things up, a simple splash of foundation and mascara may be enough. But if you’re getting ready for a night out with the girls, you may want a fuller look with bronzer, eyeshadow, eye liner, lipstick, and so on.

Over time, as you experiment with makeup, you’ll learn what you can skip, what you can’t live without, and what you can add to glam up your look.

Is Eyeliner a Necessity?

As there are no rules about what makeup you should/shouldn’t wear, eyeliner is another item that isn’t necessary. However, many women can’t live without eyeliner as it helps to play up their eyes. Nevertheless, if your eyes are quite small, black liner could make them look even smaller, so opt for a more natural shade. And when it comes to liquid eyeliner, be sure to experiment with this first. Gel eyeliners are great for practicing your look before you move onto less-forgiving liquid eyeliners.

As you can see, all of the above problems are easily overcome, and often depend on your individual look and the style you want to create. Don’t be afraid to experiment (that’s what wearing makeup’s all about!) and don’t feel you have to follow what everyone else is doing because it might not be right for your individual features.
