Putting on too much makeup makes you look bad too. You probably look like a cakeface with all of that on. Just try to limit the amount as much as possible, and try to not overdo it so that you'll still look natural and your face won't turn out all weird later on.How do i keep my face from looking bad after i constantly put makeup on?
Dont apply it with your fingers (germs, bacteria, etc...) and do it with CLEAN brushes/Sponges.





Use Mineral makeup, which even thou its more expensive is totally worth it as it doesn't clog your pores, and is made with natural minerals.





Dont wear it 24/7, give your skin a breather and go fresh-faced now and then.





Take it of COMPLETELY in the night, as leaving it on overnight clogs your pores, leading to spots, and all sorts of nastys (unless your using mineral makeup, i've heard you can sleep in it and it wont be as bad as sleeping in normal makeup).





Dont go too heavy on the foundation and powder.


Just lightly pat it in on like a moisturizer, not too much, not too little, and lightly brush the powder on.





Blend it in properly!


Theres nothing worse then seeing teenage girls with Bright orange caked up faces, and white pale necks.


Im not saying put it on your neck.


Just around your jaw, and again, lightly smooth it over the skin.
in order to avoid looking bad:





1) foundation and powder is not necessary during the spring/summer and early fall months. especially if you're young and you do not have acne scars or anything like that.





2) if you DO chose to wear foundation and powder..make sure that you find product that matches your skin tone...anybody at a professional makeup store can help you with this (eg: Mac or Sephora). by matching your foundation/powder you are not only avoiding a bad look (and a makeup faux pas...), but what you can do is: apply this makeup only on problem areas. so for example, if you have dark areas of skin, just apply some foundation and powder there. (thats what i do...it works better than applying it on your entire face and having it melt off ..and it doesnt make you look like a clown or over done).


by doing this you are allowing your skin to ';breathe';.





3) get a good makeup remover ..i use a neutrogena's all-in-one Makeup removing lotion. its for all skin types and gets EVERYTHING off.


use this at the end of the day, or whenever you want to remove makeup.





4) get a good cleanser for your face to rid anything you may have missed with the remover and just to keep your face clean in general.





5) get a skin toner. this will make your face feel refreshed and it tightens pores.





6) invest in a good face cream. I use St. Ives Collagen Elastin face cream. it makes your face shiny, smooth and young looking. if you feel you may have applied too much cream ( if youve waited a couple of minutes for the cream to absorb ,,, and your face feels gunky)...remove the excess with a towel by patting the towel on your face.





7) do steps 4, 5 and 6 in the morning (before applying makeup) and at night (after removing makeup) to prevent premature aging...lol
you have to remember to wash your make up of the second that you get home or arent gonna be in public for the rest of the day. Leaving makeup on too long, especially makeup with oil in it, will clog your pores and will sometimes leave gradual discoloration. After you wash your face THOROUGHLY!, put on moisturizer. Preferably a restorative moisturizer, like Nia moisturizer. When your not out, or having a day at home, dont put any product on whatsoever. Give your face a break because it causes stress on the face to hold so much product for long periods of time.
You don't need to constantly reapply makeup. Just get a good foundation, set it with a mineral powder, add some lipstick or gloss, and maybe some eyeshadow. Here's my reccomendations for the longest lasting products:





Foundation -Clean Makeup with Oil Control by Covergirl


Powder - Dream Matte by Maybelline


Eyeshadow - Maybelline





All of those products stay on for a long time! Good luck.
Contrary to opinion, Make - up does NOT clog your pores! As long as you cleanse your face properly then tone and moisturise every day, make - up will not harm skin.


It is not good to wear it too thick because it looks awful.


Just keep it light and natural and follow the rules and it will be ok.
mostly everyone looks better with out make up


i think they mean that if you constantly wear so much make up,


your going to look like a different person with out it





don't wear as much and wash it all off before you go to bed every night


try going natural once in a while
never go to bed with makeup on. i wear makeup alllll the time. Like every day. I haven't had any new acne lately either, then again im on birth control and i use noxzema and this skin stuff my doctor prescribed me. Just wash your face alot. Dont put too much on either
Be sure to take off you makeup every night and clean your face. also, dont wear heavy make up that will clog your pores
wash it
