Cleansing or washing your face is the first vital step in makeup. We have different skin types, and with age, our skin go through many changes. Once you apply foundation and notice dry, flaky skin, it is a sign that you have to stop over-washing your face.
Foundation match the wrong way
Testing your foundation on your hands
Why this is wrong: When on a mission to find the perfect foundation match, many put a little on their hands or wrists for a quick test before buying. Doing this can cause you to buy the wrong shade either too dark on your face and/or doesn't match your pigment or undertone.
The right way to do a foundation match is: Apply a little on your neck and on the outside of your cheek. Your neck colour is usually a lighter shade, which means you'll be less likely to buy a foundation that's too dark for your face .Compare the colour on each of the spots and pick the formula that disappears into your skin.

Wrong use of concealer
There is always a debate when it comes to deciding whether the foundation goes first or the concealer. It does make more sense to hide your flaws once the foundation is set, which simply means it’s better to use the foundation before the concealer.
Here are two things to bear in mind when you do so.
Do not use too much product at once on a targeted area. Too much concealer on your dark circles will make you look older. The best way to cover dark circles is to apply a few drops of concealer on the bone below your eyes and blend it up. Never apply it directly to the dark circles. You can also use the layering technique. Dot a little ,blend it and then apply another layer. You can also use a setting powder between the layers.

Applying matte lipstick directly to naked lips.
Apply Vaseline or lip balm and let it stay on for a while you do the rest of your makeup routine.

After a few minutes, apply your lipstick. The added moisture (vaseline or lipbalm)will ensure your lipstick doesn't wear off and also glides on much more smoothly and evenly when applying.
