Everyone makes mistakes. But what many people don’t know is that not every beauty mistake is actually one! We’ll reveal which beauty rules you should break more often – because it’s good for you.
In everyday life we constantly have to deal with things that we shouldn’t do. To be honest, not all mistakes have to be bad. Quite the opposite. We’ll tell you which beauty mistakes you should make more often.
Beauty faux pas: We should make these supposed mistakes more often
1. Don’t wash your hair
If we’re honest, each of us has missed the moment when our hair urgently needed a wash. What the hell! In fact, doing nothing for a few days isn’t so bad for our hair and scalp. Instead of stressing both of them with frequent washing, you can give them some rest by taking a shampoo break and even nourish the oil on the scalp. Also: You can delay your washing routine in the long term if you have your hair greased. So please, don’t be ashamed. Unwashed hair is much better than you always thought!
2. Don’t exfoliate your lips
Do you hate chapped and dry lips? We can understand that. But even if we think that exfoliation would fix the situation, sometimes it makes much more sense to just leave it alone. What your lips need most is moisture. With a peeling you only combat the symptoms – not the cause. So instead of rubbing your lips 24/7, you should rely on intensive care. How about a honey mask? Simply apply a thick layer of your favorite honey to your lips, place a piece of plastic wrap over it and leave it on for 15 minutes.
3. Don’t pluck eyebrows
Eyebrow plucking is one of the most annoying things in the world, but it has to be done. Or? If you don’t want wild brows, you should get yours Pluck eyebrows properly. And regularly. However, sometimes it can work wonders if you don’t. Not only are natural brows really trendy anyway, but you can also finally let your gaps grow out or give your brows a new shape by taking a break from plucking.
4. Cat wash in the morning
After getting up, many people start the day by cleansing their face. Often with cleansers and cleaning products. This need not be. More precisely, it is unnecessary. If you take off your make-up properly in the evening and cleanse your skin, there will be no dirt on your skin in the morning. Only the oil that she produced herself. It is sufficient to remove it with a gentle micellar water or simply a little water. This also saves time (which is valuable in the morning)!
5. Do not use eyeshadow base
Do you wear eyeshadow every day? Then nothing will work for you without a base. Have you ever considered not using a base? It works just as well with your concealer. Simply apply a little product to your eyelids, spread it with your fingers, a brush or a beauty sponge and then apply your eyeshadow as usual. This not only evens out veins and redness on the eyes, but also keeps your eye make-up rock-solid. If you’ve never tried it before, then it’s high time. This will at least save you one product in your suitcase for your vacation.
6. Throw away eyeshadow applicators immediately
You’ve probably noticed that many eyeshadow palettes still have the unpopular, rock-hard applicators in them. For many of you, they probably go straight into the trash can – and that’s wrong. Sure, you definitely can’t blend eye shadow with the applicators, but you can use them to apply shimmer eye shadow on the movable lid or in the inner corner of the eye. They come out much stronger and more pigmented thanks to the hard applicator. You can also use them great for glitter pigments. In the future, think twice about whether you really want to throw away the unwanted beauty aids. We wouldn’t do it…
7. Don’t powder off concealer
We all struggle with concealer gathering in the wrinkles under the eye. What helps? Many people swear by powder to set concealer or even the baking method. Then the product mostly stays in place, but the eye area looks like the Sahara in midsummer: dried out. You can prevent this by simply avoiding powder. Apply your concealer under the eye with a brush or sponge as usual – but don’t use too much product. And yes, the concealer will initially settle into the wrinkles. To prevent this, use a flat concealer brush to repeatedly remove the product from your eye wrinkles by simply gently wiping the brush through the wrinkles. You then do this again and again until you are finished with your make-up – about four to five times in total. We promise you that the concealer won’t fall off afterwards because there will be no excess product left. And of course you look fresher than ever.
8. Don’t paint your eyebrows
Can you no longer imagine not drawing your eyebrows? Natural brows are so beautiful! Especially in summer, when you wear less heavy makeup, you should try simply coloring your eyebrows instead of drawing them in every day with a pencil or pomade. This looks much fresher and more summery. If you can’t do without a little product, just comb it into shape with a gel – that’s enough. We promise you will love this look!
9. Don’t shave your armpits
Have you ever had small red pimples under your armpits? Anyone who shaves every day will definitely know this. Even in summer, you should avoid using a razor every day. As a rule, the stubble is far too short to be shaved again. The result: sore armpits. Every two days would be better – and if in doubt, just wear a shirt that covers your armpits on day two. This way you can hide small stubble and still feel comfortable.
10. Don’t wear blush
Your make-up isn’t fresh enough for you without blush? That’s just what you think. Especially on warm days, you can easily forgo blush in the morning – and just use your bronzer on your apple cheeks instead. Because it makes your look look super fresh and kissed by the sun. A simple way to get some tan and freshness on your face, even on vacation. So, say goodbye to your pink blush. We much prefer wearing bronzy tones on our cheeks. Yay!
