Over-washing the face

As much as washing the face is the first and also most paramount step in makeup application, you should not overdo it because the skin differs. The skin is of different types and changes as you age.

Applying makeup in the wrong lighting

Inappropriate blending techniques

Blending properly is very important when applying makeup because it has to look natural.  Even if a neutral shade is applied, it has to be blended very well to fit in with the skin. Otherwise, the makeup might not look natural and will go out of place. Blending is actually the key to natural looking makeup, a well blended makeup proffers a perfect outlook. Not well blended makeup can result in a comical or dramatic outlook. Invest in good makeup brushes to master the art of blending, you can also go for tutorials on this, or watch online videos. 

Applying too much foundation

Your makeup will always end up messy or cakey, when you apply too much foundation to your face. You can simply wear light makeup and you do not necessarily need to apply foundation all over the face. Foundation is used to cover blemishes, therefore should be in light and sheer form. 

Excess Shimmery and glittery eyeshadow

Using shimmery eyeshadows can be so inviting, but should not be used over the entire eyelid because the eyeshadow will over take the whole of the other makeup. For the right application, you can apply a matte eyeshadow on the outer part of the eye area and the shimmery on the inner eye area.
