Being in a sorority has been like having 100+ sisters to mentor you and set you straight. There's nothing better than being able to have the opinions of people who are a lot like you. We have definitely matured with our knowledge in beauty thanks to the guidance of our sisters so we thought it would be of benefit to you to share beauty mistakes to avoid!
- 1. Don't Forget To Wash Your Face. We know: It's so much easier to just plop on your pillow and wish that magically your face would wash itself. We have all had those nights where washing our face is a drag, but we can assure you as we have gotten older that washing your face no matter the circumstance is a huge benefit. If you know that you often crash on your bed, leave some makeup remover wipes underneath or by your pillow. If you do get around to washing your face, having a Clarisonic has been the best investment ever! We love how it really intensely cleans your face right down to your pores. Basis is Co Founder, Karen's favorite makeup remover & face cleanser and best of all it's super affordable.
2. Do Your Eyebrows. Wow. We are seriously looking back at old photos without our eyebrows
done and it's cringe-worthy. It's amazing how your face totally brightens up when you choose to
fill in your eyebrows. Being introduced to Anastasia Dip Brow was the best thing ever. With the
perfect eyebrow brush, Anastasia Dip Brow allows for ultimate eyebrow coverage. Eyebrow
pencils aren't too bad as well and we love the ones that MAC carries.
3. Wear Sunscreen...Especially On Your Face. SPF 30 and above is the best type of skin
protection. Even if it's a cloudy day, the sun is STILL shining so don't make the mistake of not
protecting your skin because skin damage from the sun can cause some serious aging which is
no good. Smashbox offers BB Cream that contain both color and sunscreen- the
perfect combo. Here is a link to the dark BB Cream and light BB Cream.
4. Don't Sleep with Your Fake Eyelashes On. Believe us: we understand how meticulous it is to
put eyelashes on. Ardell Professional Eyelashes are every sorority girls BFF. But, even though
they are so glam, you don't want to take that glam to bed and risk not being able to reuse them
because they've been smushed.
5. Don't Wear Foundation That Is Lighter/Darker Than Your Face. Don't be too proud to go to
the beauty counter of your favorite makeup company to get the best color match for your
foundation, concealer, or powder. There is nothing worse then your face looking ten times
lighter or darker not matching your neck in pictures.
6. Clean Your Makeup Brushes. The more you have a routine of washing your makeup brushes,
the less likely you will carry bacteria on your makeup brushes. Johnson & Johnson baby
shampoo is an awesome product you can use to wash your makeup brushes. Simply drop a
quarter size amount in the palm of your hand and swirl the bristles of your makeup brushes in it.
The makeup drips right off!
