Applying foundation or make-up on a dry skin would make it look dull, cracked, old and tired. Ensure to moisturize your skin before you apply make-up.
2. Eyebrow Disaster

One can say that the essential part of your face is the eyebrow. It is important that your eyebrow is trimmed perfectly.
Bushy, every thin or darkly pencilled eyebrow is the worst eyebrow disaster one can have. Get a professional help to keep the size and shape of your eyebrow. If you are doing for yourself make sure you first get a professional help and then you can maintain by just removing the extras.
3. Clumpy eyelashes

Mascara is used to enhance the beauty of your eye. Wrong application of mascara makes your eyelashes look messy. Thick application of mascara makes it look very clumpy.
Make sure the mascara you choose for your eyelashes are two shades darker than your eyebrow and ensure not to apply more than two coats or else it would look clumpy. Using a mascara which is more than three or four months can also make your eyelashes look clumpy.
4. Smudge eyeliner

The most common mistake women do when they apply an eyeliner on their lower lash using a pencil is that, they apply it very think or dark which would spread and make you look having dark circles under your eyes.
5. Wrong Foundation
If the skin of your face and neck looks uneven and patchy then definitely the foundation that you have worn, either the colour is wrong for your skin or you have applied too much.
The right way to choose the foundation for your skin tone is the one which easily disappears into your skin when applied. And remember while buying a foundation in a store the right way to choose the right foundation is to apply it on your cheeks to test and not on your hand.
6. Too Much Powder or Blush

Your face can look like a mask if the application of power or blush is over-done. Choose a power or a blush which best suits your skin. The common power which is white in colour would end up making you look unnatural.
7. Using Makeup that’s Not Age-Appropriate

Applying make-up which is not appropriate to your age is also a mistake. Teenage or Adult women should make sure they use make-up according to their age. Certain make-up is suitable only for the teenage which is not suitable for the adults and vice-versa.
8. Too Dark Lipstick or Lip Liner

Application of dark lipstick or lip liner makes one look unnatural and gives a wrong impression about the person.
9. Improper Blending Techniques
A make-up would make you look natural only if it is blended properly if not it would make your face look ugly. Use proper tools like sponge, brushes, wedges etc.
10. Sleeping with makeup

The biggest and the most common mistake women do is to sleep with their makeup on. This would make your skin dry, prone to allergies, infections and acne.
Conclusion
Firstly it’s very important to know your skin type before you buy a product. Choose the product that suits best for your skin tone. Avoid the most common mistakes so that the make-up would enhance one’s beauty.
Last but not the least make sure you drink plenty of water which would help the skin to maintain its moisture naturally.
