Sometimes we are so set in our ways with our makeup that we just don’t realize it’s time for a change or an improvement. Here is a little checklist that you can go over to make sure your makeup is on point. 

Sharpie Eyebrows- Named after the sharpie marker, these are eyebrows that are way too fake looking and colored in. Sure, we can all use some help with sparse brows but opt for a lighter hand with a powder and brush so you don’t overdo it using the BENEFIT COSMETICS Foolproof Brow Powder.

Clumpy Mascara-Spider lashes or whatever you want to call it. Yes, when it comes to mascara we like to pile it on too, but make sure to apply over a wet coat to avoid clumping. Cle de Peau Perfect Lash Mascara won’t clump and is waterproof just in case you are watching your favorite love story.

Headlights Concealer- Yes, we love brightening our undereye area, but we don’t want to look like a lightbulb in pics. So, opt for a shade that matches or is slightly lighter. Benefit Boi-ing Brightening concealer only comes in 5 shades so it’s goof proof.  

Skimping on the skincare- If you don’t take care of your skin your makeup will show it. Make sure to exfoliate at least once a week and moisturize your skin. Think of your skin as a smooth palette to paint on. 

Cake face- Less is more but you can still have full coverage. It’s all about building coverage. Start off with a primer, then a foundation, and set with a light powder like Kat Von D Lock it Setting Powder.
