5 Worst Beauty Mistakes


In case you missed some of the tips from Augusta's segment last week, here are the 5 beauty mistakes and how to avoid them.

1.  Wearing foundation on flaky skin!  Always make sure you prepare your skin properly before you put makeup on.  Exfoliate your skin with the proper scrub.  Always moisturize your skin with a formula for your skin type whether it be oily or dry.

2.  Forgetting to blend your makeup!  When it comes to foundation, eyes, and lips, always remember to blend, blend, blend.

3.  Using concealer that is too light for your skin!  Pink-toned concealer is used to brighten while a peach-tone will help to cancel out the blueish hue of under eye circles.  Always use a creamy concealer that matches your skin tone.

4.  Applying too much shine!  Who doesn't want to have that dewy look that is so popular?  However if you have oily skin, do not use luminizer as it can highlight acne.  Choose a certain area to highlight like your cheekbones or bridge of your nose.  As for normal to dry skin, you have many options.  Just don't layer too much shine, or it can make you look greasy.

5.  Lip liner that doesn't match your lipstick!  Make sure the two are the same shade.  If you choose a red lipstick, don't use your favorite nude liner.  If you want to look dated, that will definitely do the trick!  So go out and find your perfect liner to match your lip color.
