Chipped nail paint

Well, we all may have done it at some point, but strutting around with chipped nail paint is not the thing to flaunt. Even your stylish dress will not be able to save the grace. We know that it is impossible to reapply nail paint or go for a manicure every other day and so, here’s one solution: wear a translucent nail colour when you know that for days you will not have the time to correct the chipped paint. Also, remember that pastel shades last longer than solid and dark colours, so take your pick accordingly. If you are planning to go dark, make sure to remove it the same night before going off to bed.

Badly smudged kohl

No. We are not talking about the smudged kohl eyes look, but the badly, unintentionally smudged kohl. It will happen unless you apply the one which can remain stable for eight to ten hours. Most women have their kohl smudged by the time they reach work. The only solution is to use water and smudge proof kohl, and apply it under your eyes. Seal it with waterproof eyeliner. The same goes for your colour eye pencils, too.

Patchy cheeks

Alright, this can really put off a lot of important people. No matter how much you love to have those high cheek bones, but if you do an overdose of blush, it will only leave an ugly pink (or, whatever is your blush colour) patch on your skin. And to add to this, your skin will appear as having some skin rash. Go easy on the blush and blend it well for a rosy glow.
