Are you doing yourself a disservice by doing your makeup WRONG?! It’s hard enough as it is to look awake in the morning.What you didn’t know is you’re probably adding to that struggle with your makeup application process. Stay away from these makeup mistakes and you should be looking wide awake in no time!
#1: Monotone Colors
The best way to look more awake is by defining your facial features. Try defining your brows, eyes, cheeks and lips and forgo the plain one-dimensional color all over look.
# 2: Under-Eye Concealer Gone Wrong
Whether it’s too dark or light, it’s WRONG and it’s making you look like it’s past your bedtime. Make sure you are applying all of your makeup in a well lit room. Natural light works best.

# 3: Eye Makeup Primer
You must not skip this important step, ESPECIALLY if you are using a dark eyeliner. The primer assists in keeping the dark color from smudging and rubbing below the eye. Take note, unless of course you are going for the raccoon look! For an added touch, use waterproof liner.
# 4: Powder OVERLOAD
Clean, smooth skin looks young and refreshed. Dry, powdered skin looks old and well, TIRED. Make sure you don’t over do it. Try translucent powders that eliminate the shine. Make sure you blend it in well.
# 5: Moisturize!
Please, please, please never apply your makeup before you put on a moisturizer. (Bonus points if you use one that contains SPF!) Applying any makeup on dry, flaky skin can make you look incredibly tired and dried out.
