How to Fix Common Makeup Mistakes Without Starting Over

Wearing makeup is so fun, but you know what’s not? Makeup mistakes. It’s so annoying when you are in the flow of creating a flawless makeup look but certain makeup mistakes get in your way. But redoing your makeup all over is sometimes not an option, and hence, fixing your makeup mishaps is the only option. These makeup fixtures will keep your whole look fresh and seamless so that you can continue looking your best self without any worries. Here are some makeup mistakes that you can fix quickly and easily:

Quick Fixes for Makeup Mishaps

• How to Correct Cakey Foundation

When your foundation becomes cakey or streaked, you can dampen a makeup sponge and lightly even out the coverage. Or you can even spray a little (just enough to dampen your face)  water and use the sponge to blend the uneven foundation into an even coverage base.

• Fast Fix for Uneven Eyeliner

One of the most common makeup mistakes we end up doing is faulty eyeliner. Oftentimes, our perfect cat-eye or winged eyeliner doesn’t end up being as perfect as we imagined. In such cases, the easiest fixing you can do is just damping a cotton swab with liquid makeup remover and gently swiping off the faulty eyeliner. Re-touch it with your desired design and you are good to go!

• Clean Up Mascara Smudges Effortlessly

Yet another eye makeup mishap is smudged mascara on your eyelids or under your eyes. To rectify this, the cotton swab dipped in makeup remover liquid makes a return. Gently dab the cotton swab on the smudges area under your lower lash line to clean it up without disturbing the rest of your eyes. You can also use one of the PAC Clean Slate Wipes to gently wipe the smudges away.

• Refresh Your Lipstick Without Reapplying

Sometimes, your lipstick tends to fade away after a certain amount of time. To refresh them without the hassle of reapplying them, blot your lips with a tissue to remove excess color, then lightly dust on translucent powder to set the remaining lipstick. Another hack you can opt for is to apply a thin layer of lip liner around the edges of your lips to sharpen the color and prevent color bleeding.

• How to Prevent Eyeshadow Fallout

Perfect eyeshadow placement can make or break your look. Perfectly applied and blended eyeshadow can elevate your whole look completely. But one problem we all commonly face is eyeshadow falling out from our eyelids. To prevent it altogether, apply a layer of loose setting powder under your eyes before applying eyeshadow, which will catch any falling particles, and then dust away the excess powder. To fix eyeshadow fallout, apply your eyeshadow before applying foundation and concealer. Once you are done applying your eyeshadow, clean the fallout with a cotton swab, and then apply your foundation and concealer.

Makeup mishaps are inevitable but with clever tricks such as the above and the right tools, you can fix any makeup mistake quickly. Remember, makeup is all about experimenting and having fun—so don’t let a little hiccup ruin your vibe. With these tips in your beauty arsenal, you’re ready to tackle any challenge like a pro.
