FOR A FINISH OF FINESSE!

Want to fix your worst make-up mistakes without a fuss and be red-carpet ready always? Here are tips to consider! For Lashes Application: Eye-lashes are a must add-on for drama and glamour, but it is always tricky to get them right. So, here’s what you need to do. 1) The gap between your natural lashes and the artificial ones must not be visible. 2) And the add-ons must not go over your own lashes. The gum is rather sticky and if it gets stuck to your own lash hair, you could land up losing some of your own hair! Moreover, it could be extremely painful when you pull them out. 3) The lash gum is of extreme importance. Otherwise you could have your lash falling off midway. Use natural looking lashes if you are not a pro at fixing them.

Highlighter woes: The wrong shade can really give out a shoddy appearance. So, here are highlighters to never buy — The glittery ones as the particles catch light and makes your skin look patchy and is extremely unflattering for the camera. Look for highlighters that glide on smoothly and look like second skin, learning the right application is also critical.

For your pout: Lipstick going outside the lip line is one of the common mistakes made by quite a few. To avoid the faux pas, remember to do the following: 1) Apply using a sharpened lip pencil in a complementary colour, before and after application for the perfect definition. 2) Filling in with a lip brush gives you more control. If the lipstick does go wrong then the simplest way is to wipe with a cue tip and apply concealer with a tiny brush outside the lip line to give it a flawless finish.
