As the saying goes, when it comes to beauty, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. That being said, many of us take beauty advice from our favorite celebrities, whether online or in magazines. But, although celebrities can be great role models for beauty hacks, there are some mistakes they’re making that you need to be wary of. To help you stay informed and keep your beauty routine on track, we’ve listed five celebrity beauty mistakes you’re probably making – and how you can avoid them.
Using Too Much Makeup
The biggest, and arguably most obvious, mistake celebrities often make is using too much makeup. Excessive makeup can cause a variety of skin problems, while also masking your natural beauty. A good rule of thumb is to focus on enhancing, rather than covering up, your features. Start with a light coverage foundation, and add more product if necessary. Also, make sure to take off all your makeup at night to ensure your skin can breathe and regenerate.

Not Wearing Enough SPF
Being in the sun without protection is one of the quickest ways to damage your skin. Celebs don’t always pay attention to SPF or choose to use only a small amount of sunscreen. But, sunscreen is essential and should be applied liberally every day – even when it’s cloudy – in order to protect your skin from sun damage, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Look for products with an SPF of 30 or more and make sure to re-apply throughout the day.

Overdoing the Brushes and Blending
Blending your makeup correctly is important for a flawless finish, however, it’s easy to go overboard. Brushes and sponges can only pick up so much product, and too much blending can actually leave your makeup looking cake-y. So, take a lesson from the pros and focus on blending the edges of your foundation, rather than trying to create a flawless complexion. This will help you create a more natural-looking finish.

Not Taking Into Account Skin Type
Another mistake some celebs seem to make when it comes to beauty is not taking their skin type into account. Not all products work for all skin types, so it’s important to choose products that are suited to your specific skin type. For instance, if you have dry skin, you might want to opt for an oil-based foundation, while those with oily skin should look for products that are oil-free.

Skipping Out On Cleansing
Cleansing is essential for keeping your skin clean and clear. Yet, most celebrities don’t cleanse their skin as often as they should. Cleansing daily will help remove dirt, excess oils, and makeup from your face, as well as remove dead skin cells and reduce the risk of breakouts. It’s also important to moisturize after cleansing to keep your skin hydrated and protect it from the elements.
Conclusion
In conclusion, although celebrities can provide us with great beauty hacks, they can also make mistakes. The five biggest mistakes you’re probably making are: using too much makeup, not wearing enough SPF, overdoing the brushes and blending, not taking your skin type into account, and skipping out on cleansing. Now that you know what to watch out for, you can make sure you stay ahead of the game and maintain your beauty routine.
