1. Chapped lips
One needs to exfoliate the lips often especially if they are dry. Lipsticks do not come out smooth on such lips. Quickly exfoliate using a mild scrub at home or make your own scrub using honey and sugar crystals.

Use a matte finish compact that usually comes with a powder puff. Dab on the face.
3. Dry and dull face
Use a lipstick and add gloss to instantly boost the radiance of your face.
4. Ungroomed brows

5. Fading lipstick
Always apply a little foundation or compact on lips before applying the lip colour to make your lipstick stay longer.
6. Too much foundation
Take a damp sponge and gently dab on to your face specially under eyes, lip areas etc. to help it blend in and remove the excess.
7. Too much eye shadow or bad blending
Take a fluffy blending brush to soften the edges of eye shadow. If there are strong lines, gently use your finger tips to soften the edges before using the fluffy brush.

8. Clumpy mascara
Use a clean mascara wand to remove the excess mascara. Use a little wiggle movement with this brush, for non-water proof mascara you can slightly wet the brush to make it come off easily.
9. Creasing around under eyes and lip area
To correct this, use a damp sponge to hydrate the skin first and then using a powder puff add some compact to make it settle between the lines for a smoother look.
10. Too much or patchy blush
Move the brush in small circular motions without any more colour to soft blend the blush, if its too dry use some damp sponge on the cheek area to hydrate and then after waiting a few seconds, blend the blush for smoother finish.
