People have been rethinking their use of their products due to makeup myths. They give us the impression that some products are unhealthy. I'm going to talk to you about some makeup myths that you've probably heard and maybe even believed, so continue reading.

1. Cosmetics last indefinitely

our used cosmetics do have an expiration date.

Repeatedly using a product that has expired can lead to inflammation, which is bad.

2. When the mascara has dried, throw it away.

Any type of mascara has an eight-month shelf life. Yes, only eight months. After that, you ought to discard it. However, if your mascara dries earlier, you can still fix it.

3. You don't have to take off your makeup before bed.

This makeup myth is completely untrue, though. Before going to bed, you must always remove your makeup. Your skin's pore-clogging makeup can also obstruct the moisturizing and skin-generation processes that occur while you sleep at night.

4. If you only use makeup brushes, there's no need to wash them.

Numerous products come into contact with your brushes. The more bacteria that remain on the surface of your brushes after a prolonged period of use increases the risk of skin infections and diseases. Each time, wash them.

5. Your mascara will spread more easily if you pump it.

Pumping your mascara in and out will only have one effect: it will let air in, causing it to dry sooner than it should. However, avoid pumping your mascara because it will only harm your product.

6. Moisturizers can take the place of primers.

Your skin is made smoother by primer, which also aids in the even application of foundation. Always moisturize first, then use a primer, and then continue with applying makeup.

7. Pick a foundation color that complements your wrist

Your skin is different colors everywhere. If your foundation matches where your jawline is, it is the ideal shade for you.

8. A foundation is necessary for a finished appearance.

If a concealer and a primer can cover your blemishes and acne, you can skip the foundation. Foundation is merely to give your skin an even tone.

9. If your foundation contains sunscreen, you don't need it.

Sunscreen shields your skin from the glaring sunlight that can harm it. You should still apply sunscreen separately even if your foundation already contains one. It is merely additional defense. Makeup does not offer sufficient sun protection on its own.

10. Foundation is applied before concealer.

It is actually advised to apply foundation first, followed by concealer. This aids in giving your makeup a more natural appearance.

11. Dark eyeliner enlarges your eyes.

Applying light eyeshadow and eyeliner to the inner eyelid will help enlarge your eyes. Instead of emphasizing size, Smokey makeup and dark eyeliner add expression. Makeup myths are false.

12. What suits my friend, suits me

You may give in to the temptation of trying out new products but be careful, read the labels, check the ingredients that go into the product. What has worked a miracle for your friend need not have the same effect on you.

13. Waterproof eyeliner outperforms regular eyeliner in quality.

For your eyeliner, you don't need a waterproof formula unless you're going to the beach. Actually, waterproof mascaras are more drying and more difficult to remove. Furthermore, excessive rubbing can harm your eyelashes.

14. Foundation should never be lighter than concealer.

Just like with foundation, it's crucial to match your concealer to your skin tone. Lighter concealers will draw attention to your flaws. Never, ever believe this myth about makeup.

15. Not everyone likes the color red.

Any skin tone looks gorgeous with red lipstick. These are untrue myths about makeup. Simply look at the lipstick's undertone to determine which shade best suits you.

16. Eyebrows should contrast with hair in color.

Why are these makeup myths being spread, I want to know from those responsible. There is no logical explanation, in my opinion, for this. If you think you should color your light-colored eyebrows, go ahead and do it.

17. Before applying lipstick, line your lips.

This is not a myth; it's a trick. a method to give the appearance of fuller lips. This trick looks realistic in photographs but unnatural in real life. In the center of your lower lip, try applying some glossy lip gloss. Your lips will appear fuller as a result.

18. Expensive cosmetics are superior

You won't always get what you pay for, so beware. Yes, expensive goods will work well for you, but so will significantly less expensive alternatives. Your fixed deposit does not need to be withdrawn. A lot of makeup products share similar or nearly identical ingredients.

19. Myths about lip plumper's in makeup

Lip plumper contains ingredients like hot pepper, cinnamon, menthol, and caffeine that may irritate your lips and cause them to swell. However, it is not a cure for thin lips. Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers is the only way to treat thinner lips.

20. People with oily skin don't need moisturizer

The secret to keeping your skin hydrated is moisturizer. Those with oily skin may require a light one, but they unquestionably require one. The chemicals shouldn't come into contact with your skin directly.
