A foundation that's too light or too dark can make your makeup look unnatural. Always match it to your neck and check it in natural lighting whenever possible.

🤎 Using the Wrong Contour Shade
Slightly overlining can enhance your lips, but going too far often looks unnatural. Keep it subtle for the best effect.

Not every viral makeup trend suits every face shape, skin tone, or skin type. Focus on techniques that make you feel confident.
