Beauty Boo-Boos Never to Do

Sep 7, 2006

Don’t wear a white bra beneath a black top. It’s got to be a black bra, because sometimes, depending on the material, even a skin-toned bra shines through.

Don’t apply eyeliner on the wet inside rim of your eyelid. Not only will it cause your eye to smart and tear, it risks injury and infection of the eye. Besides, it makes your eyes look much smaller than they are.

Don’t bite your lips or lick them to make them look red and wetly inviting. Biting can wreck your lips, and licking them only makes them more dry. Try some lip balm or lip gloss instead.

Don’t pop a pimple. Spot dry with alcohol and/or an invisible acne ointment (salicylic acid works best), cover up with an oil-free concealer then forget about it. When you puncture a pimple…all you get on your face is that—a punctured pimple.

Don’t slick down your brows with your own saliva—even if it really works. That’s just plain nasty.

Don’t put your freshly-washed damp hair into a ponytail. It puts too much pressure on your hair.

If you’re going to wear open-toed shoes or sandals to show off your feet, make sure your feet are worthy of display.

Lipstick and face powder are the only things allowed to apply in public. But just touch-ups. No lip lining in front of your date.

Blend well at the jawline when you use foundation and make sure it’s the right shade to avoid the “mask effect”.

Go easy on the eyebrow pencil. If your brows are very darkly drawn, you will look scary. And make sure your brows are symmetrical.
