Make-up: 6 mistakes you may be making
Some gestures are so much a part of our daily lives that we don't even question whether we're doing them right. Here's a look at the most common mistakes we make, and our make-up tips for turning things around.
3. Highlighting in the wrong place(s)
Ah, the famous "glowy" finish! The epitome of healthy skin, the conquest of glow always involves the use of a highlighter... But it can also turn into a "firefly" effect. So stick to strategic areas The top of the cheekbones, under the arch of the eyebrows, in the hollow of the chin or on the sides of the nose, to eliminate shadowy areas. Another important point: highlighter enhances each area where it is applied the result can be double-edged! It's best to avoid using it on the bridge of the nose, for example, if you don't want to highlight a small bump or if you think it's too big. Or on the center of the forehead, if you think it's already big enough, as this will only accentuate it.
6. Wrong subtones
Golden, rosy or neutral? Knowing your colour undertones to choose the right foundation or concealer should be as easy as knowing your jeans size. Avoid the mistakes we've all made before... Observe the veins on your wrists: if they look green, your undertone is golden. Conversely, purplish or bluish veins indicate a cold, pinkish undertone. Can't tell? You're neutral. By the way, if you're looking for a complexion product on our e-shop but are a little confused about which shade to choose, our guide is available here.
The final tip? Whenever possible, apply make-up in daylight. We're not all lucky enough to have a bathroom with a window, but in that case, to avoid unpleasant surprises, check the final result with a small pocket mirror in a room bathed in natural light or outside, so you can correct if necessary.
