- Settings Sprays: A common complaint is that they make skin oily. Typically this means that you are not spraying it at an arms length distance and misting it.
- Foundation: Not Lasting? If you don't apply moisturizer and a primer you are the problem. NO BASE, NO CASE.
- Concealer Creasing: You can't expect beauty supply foundation to not to crease if that's what you're using. Get a setting powder to avoid creasing
- Eyeshadow not showing up: As previously stated, no base, no case. Get a eyeshadow primer or better yet get a pigmented AF eyeshadow like the MFMG Glitter Palette
- Too much eyeshadow: You're better off with a really pigmented eyeshadow if you're opting for color. The more eyeshadow you add, the harder it is to blend.
- Liquid Lipstick dryness: Moisturize lips before starting makeup
- Matte Liquid Lipstick hard to remove: Any good oil, coconut or jojoba for example, will remove these without a struggle.
- Brushes Falling Apart after washes: Wash brushes downwards during washing so that they maintain their shape
- Cakery/Powdery Makeup Outcome: Use Prep Sprays or Hyrauluonic while blending out makeup
- Difficulty Apply Falsies: Choose black glue to match your eyeliner as opposed to white glue. Don't apply lashes until glue is tacky.
- False Lashes lifting at edges: Cut eye lash bands to fit your eyeshape before applying
- How to use lipliner: Opt for a liner that's slightly darker than your lipstick color
- Lipstick bleeding: See 13, a lipliner is your best friend here
- Messy Liquid Eyeliner: Think one long stroke is the best way to get a sharp eyeliner? Nope. Use small strokes to build your razor sharp line
- Brow Pomade: Lightly dip your brush, don't dig in and use small strokes
- How to use a Beauty Sponge: Using a beauty sponge dry is a huge no, no! You have to dampen them to get the best use
- Glitter Fall Out: Use clear gloss as a base or better yet, a no-glue required glitter palette like the MFMG Glitter Palette.
- Flash Back: Flashback is a result of using a product that's too light for you. It's best to match your foundation to your skin tone in natural light when you're doing your initial match.
- Clown Blush: Blush is meant to mimick a healthy glow, not sit on top of your cheeks. Go for crown than clown by placing your bronzer lightly above your bronzer.
- Color Correcting: Here's the good news for beginners, color correcting is only ever needed for extreme skin conditions or special occasions. No need to worry about it!
