The 5 most common make-up mistakes
The New Year is the perfect time to adopt new habits, and that includes your make-up routine. In 2025, why not make your make-up a real asset by avoiding these common mistakes? Here are the 5 most common faux pas, along with simple tips for correcting them. Beauty resolution: flawless make-up all year round!
1. Poorly blended foundation: the nightmare of visible lines
The mistake: Applying foundation without blending it properly, leaving visible demarcations, especially around the jawline.
The solution:
- Use a sponge or special brush to blend the product, starting from the center of the face and working outwards.
- Choose a shade that exactly matches your skin tone (test it on your jawline).
- Resolution 2025: Take a few extra minutes to blend and check your make-up in natural light before going out.
2. Misplaced blush: avoid the clown effect
The mistake: Applying blush too close to the nose, too low or in excess, which can weigh down the face.
The solution:
- Smile lightly and apply blush to the top of the cheekbones, stretching towards the temples for a natural effect.
- Choose shades suited to your skin tone and use a slightly bevelled brush for precise application.
- Resolution 2025: Opt for a cream or powder blush that can be modulated to better control intensity.
3. Overloaded or ill-defined eyebrows
The mistake: Drawing eyebrows too dark or too thick can harden the look. Conversely, ignoring them altogether can give an unfinished look.
The solution:
- Work your eyebrows with a pencil or powder a shade lighter than your hair for a natural effect.
- Brush before and after application to diffuse the product.
- Resolution 2025: Invest in a clear or tinted fixative gel for a long-lasting, polished finish.
4. Too much mascara: stuck lashes are not glamorous
The mistake: applying several coats of mascara without letting them dry, or using dry mascara that clumps.
The solution:
- Replace your mascara every three months to avoid clumping.
- Apply a first coat in a zigzag pattern to separate the lashes, then a second after a few seconds if necessary.
- Resolution 2025: Adopt a brush adapted to your lashes (volumizing, lengthening, curling) and avoid adding too much product.
5. Poorly defined lips: lipstick that spills over
The mistake: Applying lipstick without defining the contour or choosing a color that runs into fine lines.
The solution:
- Use a lip liner in the same shade as your lipstick for greater precision.
- Prepare your lips with a gentle scrub and moisturizing balm to avoid dry patches.
- Resolution 2025: Try long-lasting lipsticks for impeccable results all day long.
