‘What was I thinking, leaving the house in that purple eyeshadow, caked in orange foundation and covered in murky bronzer…!?’
Don’t worry – every single one of us has browsed over our Facebook tagged photos and cringed inside at the very sight of our own faces – we’ll ALL been there. Many a time.

For the sake of your vanity (and sanity) – here are 20 of the most common mistakes – and, of course, how to fix them.

How to fix it: Because we all have differently shaped faces, we need to figure our what works for our OWN faces, following a tutorial just won’t cut it. So, spend some one on one time with your face and get a good feel…
