14 Makeup Beliefs You Should Stop Doing, Specially Number 3!
It's time to change bad habits, don't you think? Here's a list of makeup myths as old as time that you really need to stop believing.
1. RED LIPSTICK IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
Uh, no. With knowing the right shade, you could slay a red lipstick!
2. THROW THE MASCARA AWAY ONCE IT HAS DRIED OUT
You need to throw out your mascara three months upon opening it regardless if it was seldom used or if the tube is still full. Mascaras are known to be the reeding ground of bacteria so don't wait for it to dry out.
3. PUMP YOUR MASCARA TO GET RID OF THE CLUMPS
When you pump the wand repeatedly, it only gives the bacteria to trap inside the tube. Plus, it makes your mascara drier as you pump air inside it.
4. SLEEPING WITH YOUR MAKEUP STILL INTACT IS FINE
Absolutely not! Your face regenerates itself when you're asleep and when you sleep with makeup still on, it will only clog your pores and dehydrate your skin. So make sure you cleanse your face right before you go to bed.
Say what? All makeup products do have a shelf life. Manufacturers print it on the labels at the back so you could see. Once a product is past its expiration date, it gives room for molds to grow and may cause infections on your skin.
6. YOU DON'T NEED TO WASH YOUR BRUSHES IF YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE USING THEM
Uh, so not true. You have to wash your makeup brushes at least once a week since bacteria accumulates in the fibers of the brush. Yikes!
7. WATERPROOF MASCARAS ARE GOOD TO WEAR EVERYDAY
Waterproof mascaras are difficult to remove. It takes so much time and effort and may damage your natural lashes. So opt for an ordinary mascara.
8. MOISTURIZING CREAM HAS THE SAME EFFECT WITH A PRIMER
Primers are used to help your makeup last longer, and soothes the skin.
9. CONCEALER GOES BEFORE FOUNDATION
It is adviceable to use foundation first so that there will be minimal imperfections to conceal.
When you choose the right product for your skin type, you won't have to face any problems. Nowadays, foundation contains a lot of skin-caring ingredients making it totally wearable.
Definitely not. Unless you've got a really light colored hair. If you have black hair, you should go for a light brown to dark brown shade.
Unless you're on a photo shoot, that's fine. But if you are to do this on a daily basis, your lips will only look artificial.
It doesn't. It does make your eyes look more prominent but it makes your eyes look smaller. Try to use a light eye shadows and eye liner to the inner eyelid to make your eyes pop.
14. FOUNDATION SHOULD NOT GO AROUND YOUR EYES
Have no fear because foundations are now alcohol-free and it won't dry out your skin.
