Got unlucky with the tweezers? Stayed up way too late last night? Having a bad hair day? Relax! Experiencing those beauty mistakes is as common as catching a cold during winter — and it happens to the best of us. That is why every woman should have a know-how when it comes to fixing beauty blunders, unless you want to look like someone who needs a serious make-over! Here’s a guide on how to correct those face mishaps in the easiest, quickest way possible.
Over-plucked Eyebrows
Beauty mistakes such as this one can be easily fixed with an eyebrow brush. Add some eye shadow that is almost as the same color as your brow to the over-plucked area. With small, swift motions, lightly line them following your hair growth. You may also use an eyebrow pencil for this. Just use light, feathery strokes to add a more realistic effect rather than drawing a line. To avoid over-plucking again, visit a salon and have them shape your eyebrows. Once they start to grow back, it’ll be easier to pluck off the stray hair.
Eyebags
Staying up late will give almost anyone dark circles that make you look tired. When fixing beauty blunders such as these, putting on a cold compress can help a lot by reducing the swelling. Home remedies can also do wonders in zapping away those dark circles such as putting on thin slices of cucumber or potatoes on your eyes. Cold teabags also work. If all else fails, putting on a concealer is the best pick for hiding unsightly raccoon eyes. Just make sure that you apply moisturizer first so that the concealer will not create creases under your eyes. Also make sure that you’re using a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your foundation. Yellow-based concealers blend best and help better in lightening than any other tones.
Frizzy, Damaged Hair
If you have dry hair because of too much blow drying, straightening, or coloring, the best way to revive it is to apply hot oil treatments and repair conditioners. Rinsing your hair with cold water also helps adding shine to your hair as this closes and smoothens the hair cuticles. Brushing and combing your hair regularly can also bring out the natural oils in your hair, making it look a lot shinier. Don’t stay under the sun for too long to avoid getting your hair dry and brittle!
Overgrown Bangs
You don’t have to visit the salon regularly just to get your bangs trimmed. Fixing this beauty blunder on your own is relatively easy. Just wet the teeth of your comb and run the bristles through your bangs, this will control the wetness of your hair. Then with hair scissors, gradually snip off your hair. It is best to cut below your eyebrows since you hair will be shorter when dry. Wait for your bangs to dry to see the exact length. Repeat the process if you want them shorter.
Make up Overload
Face mishaps happen all the time! Wanted to get that “flushed” look but ended up looking like you’ve just been slapped instead? Don’t fret! Just smooth on some face powder over your blush until your ideal color is achieved. Clumpy mascara is also a common face mishap! Put some tissue under your eye and gently run an eyelash brush through your lashes to remove the excess mascara. The tissue under your eye will protect your skin form mascara flakes. Do this for each eye. If your eyeliner oftentimes gets out of control, all you need is a Q-tip to remove the unwanted smudge. Remember, practice makes perfect when it comes to fixing beauty blunders. Before you know it you’d be able to correct these beauty mistakes like a pro.
