• Using old, dirty makeup brushes

• Not matching your lip liner and lipstick

While the thought of lip liner probably conjures not-so-fond memories of nude lips and dark lip liner, a lip pencil—when used properly—can actually help define your pout and prevent feathering. As evidenced by the early 90s, wearing darker liner is a massive mistake that will make you look both dated and, well, tacky. The trick is to use a pencil that matches the color of your lips. Then apply it to your lips. Not only will it make your lipstick look more natural, it will also make it last longer. This is what your favorite lipstick color says about your personality.

Applying too much powder

Using too much powder can enhance flaws and make your face age faster. Women with oily skin, in particular, tend to touch up their makeup with powder throughout the day. Remember, oil control starts with your skin-care routine.

• Overdrawn brows

Well-shaped brows can enhance your facial features, open the eyes, and take years off your appearance. Whereas dark, heavy arches can make you look overdone or even theatrical. To fill in any sparse spots and give your brows that natural wow-factor, Pro tip: Apply in light strokes and build as you go. A spooley or unused mascara wand is great for removing excess and blending. Once you’ve achieved your desired effect, set with a clear brow gel. These are the best brows for your face shape.

Avoid these mistakes，i believe you will make great strides in makeup and you will become a Pro.
