Mistake #1- Not applying a base (lotion/primer)

The main reason you should be applying a base is so Your skin can stay hydrated. If you don't use either a lotion or a primer, at the end of the day your skin could possibly look dry.

Mistake #2- Wearing lipstick at a young age

I personally think that at 12-14 lipstick looks too "dress up" like when we were five or six. Sticking with a natural palette at a young age is much more flattering and won't age how you look.

Mistake #3- Using your friends favorite brands as a guideline as for what you should buy

Your friends skintone is most likely very different, and there are different brands that you will learn that you like after experimenting for a while. For example, my friend loves blue eyeliner, but that would look very unflattering on me.

Mistake #4- Feeling like you have to wear makeup to be pretty

Honestly this is the worst mistake of all, because sometimes a bare/natural face can be the prettiest of everything. However, do whatever makes YOU feel happy and confident. If you don't feel confident with how you look, find subtle ways to help boost your confidence in yourself.

Mistake #5- Not washing your brushes

GROSS! Imagine using a brush day after day and dragging it across your dead skin cells and bacteria on your face, and then looking at it under a microscope. You would see all types of dead skin and bacteria (maybe that's a little bit dramatic 😉), which is why I highly recommend washing your brushes!! Soap and water works fine, but if you want to be a little more fancy you can buy a spray for it 👌🏼
