5 Common Makeup Mistakes

1. Using Expired Makeup - Like any good product, makeup has an expiration date! Not only is expired makeup not as effective it can also lead to skin irritation and eye infections. It is recommended that you replace your mascara and eye liners every 3 months. Click on this link for typical expiration dates.

2. Using a Brow Pencil - When you use a pencil to help fill in your brows it can leave them looking overdone and unnatural. We recommend using a powder and a small, angled brush with light strokes in sparse spots to achieve that beautiful natural look. Charisma Skin's Brow Tint is a brow gel (available in 4 great shades) is absolutely my favorite brow color for great looking brows. Brow Tint helps brows look fuller, more even, and helps hold brows in place. Plus it delivers amazing all-day staying power!

3. But don’t ignore your Brows! - Not everyone is gifted with beautiful brows like Cara Delevingne! Having a defined brow helps make your eyes pop! Schedule a brow shape appointment today.

4. Not Cleaning Your Brushes - Bacteria buildup can occur if you do not clean your brushes regularly. This bacteria can lead to breakouts and clogged pores. About once a month, clean your brushes with a brush cleaner or even a little baby shampoo under lukewarm water.

5. Applying Makeup too soon (or too late) after moisturizing - wait 1-10 minutes to apply makeup after moisturizing. If you wait too long your skin could dry out and if you apply it too soon the moisturizer could thin out.
