1. Fix that base
✖ Foundation looks uneven, clinging to dry spots.
✔ Mist the face with a hydrating spray, then press a damp sponge to blend and smooth without layering on more product.
2. Creased concealer
✖ Concealer settles into fine lines under the eyes.
✔ Gently tap out the creases with a clean fingertip, then set lightly with a finely milled translucent powder.
3. Overdrawn brows
✖ Brows look harsh or too dark.
✔ Brush through with a spoolie dipped in a bit of loose powder to soften and diffuse the lines.
4. Blush overload
✖ Too much blush = clownish look.
✔ Buff over with a clean powder brush or sheer out with a touch of pressed powder to tone down intensity.
5. Cakey effect
✖ Face looks flat and heavy after powdering.
✔ Spritz a setting spray or thermal water to melt the powder into skin, restoring natural dimension.
6. Runaway mascara
✖ Mascara smudges under eyes mid-event.
✔ Use a cotton bud dipped in micellar water to clean, then pat a touch of powder under the eyes to lock in place.
7. Uneven liner
✖ Winged eyeliner looks mismatched.
✔ Even out with a pointed cotton bud dipped in micellar water, then sharpen edges using concealer on a fine brush.
8. Bleeding lipstick
✖ Lip colour leaks beyond the lip line.
✔ Dab concealer around the lips with a small brush and reapply lipstick with a liner for crisp definition.
9. Eyeshadow fallout
✖ Glitter or pigment drops onto cheeks.
✔ Sweep away with a fluffy brush dipped in loose powder—never rub! Refresh the skin with a light setting mist.
10. Mismatched neck
✖ Foundation shade looks perfect on the face but doesn’t match the neck.
✔ Blend leftover foundation down the neck or add a bit of bronzer to balance out the tones seamlessly.
