Hence, today we pick only those makeup mistakes and blunders that women continue to make. These mistakes can actually multiply your age, making you look a lot older and aged than you are.

As a solution, at Boldsky, we've picked the worst of the 8 makeup mistakes that women repeat often and thereby end up looking aged. If these can be rectified, you can consider half your battle won, ladies.

Pick Cosmetics Based On Age

At 18, if you use a foundation of your mother or your mother uses your foundation, then you've got to look off age. Cosmetic beauty products mostly come with the tag of age bar, which mentions the most suitable age that could use it. So, read carefully and pick the beauty products based on your age.

Skipping Foundation Is A Blunder

As many new makeup products like primer, bronzer, highlighter, etc., have come in, often women think they can skip on the very traditional foundation. Dear lady, at no age can you skip on the foundation. Skipping foundation reveals all flaws of your skin and thus, you have no other choice. Those who skip the foundation during makeup end up looking ugly and aged.

Applying Blush Below The Cheeks

Well, your blush must limit to your cheekbones only. Those who bring it down from the cheek bone add a dragging effect to the face, ending up in looking very old. The best way to understand your cheekbone is to smile wide, apply blush only on cheekbone, blend the edges and bingo, you are done, girl.

Pick The Right Colours

In your makeup, you have a variety of colours in blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick and so on. Women usually pick colours based on the colour of their clothes. This is wrong. You have to pick colours of your makeup based on the tone of your skin. First, fix on one of the colours (for example blush) and then the other colours should be at par with this primary one. Applying different colours on different parts of your face is a total makeup blunder.

Unmatching The Lipstick And Lip Liner

On messing the use of the two by applying two different shades, you'd end up looking messed and dirty. Your lip liner should be in sync with your lipstick and vice versa. To simplify, you can use only a lip pencil that caters to both the needs.

Messing With The Mascara

Mascara blunders are also common in a makeup mistake. What goes wrong is, which eyelash to get more mascara - the upper or lower? The answer is, upper. If you clut more mascara on your lower eyelash, then the eye makeup worsens and you'd end up looking pathetic. A tampered eyeshadow brush is best to use when it comes to applying a mascara.

Highlight Versus Contour

Coming to the nose, everyone attempts to make it look tip and sharp. The solution is applying contour from both the sides. In case you highlight your nose, then no way it's angle shifts and you end up baking a 100 m runway on your face.

Over Powdering Is An Ommission

The easiest way to brighten the face is of course powder. But you should not over powder it. Over powder makes one look like a retro actress and is concluded as a makeup mistake by beauty experts. Dab translucent powder at the end of your makeup just to keep the makeup in shape and in place.
