Getting flawless makeup can be tricky

Let’s face it—achieving a flawless makeup look can sometimes feel like a mystery, especially when small mistakes throw off the end result.

At MSLONDON, we believe makeup should enhance your natural beauty and be easy to apply.

Here are five common makeup mistakes and simple ways to avoid them with our skin-friendly products, so you can enjoy a smooth, radiant finish every time!

Applying Foundation on Wet Skin
Applying foundation directly on wet moisturiser, primer, or sunscreen. Can cause mineral pigments to oxidise, changing their colour and finish.

How to Fix:  Allow your skin to be free of any products before applying MsLondon Mineral FoundationThis allows for smooth, even coverage without the risk of oxidation or streaking. 

Using Too Much Product
When it comes to mineral makeup, more isn’t always better! Many people make the mistake of applying too much foundation, thinking it will improve coverage.

How to Fix: Start with a light layer of MsLondon Mineral Foundation and build coverage gradually. Our formula provides beautiful, buildable coverage, so a little goes a long way. Allow a few minutes for the foundation to settle and develop on the skin.

Layering Powder Foundation Over Liquid Foundation
Applying powder foundation over liquid foundation may seem like a way to boost coverage, but it often results in a heavy, cakey look and can cause the makeup to oxidize.

How to Fix: For a natural finish, stick to one type of foundation at a time. MsLondon Mineral Foundation provides excellent coverage on its own, making it perfect for an even, breathable look without the need for layering.

Skipping Setting Powder
Setting powder is often overlooked, but it’s key to keeping your makeup in place all day. Without it, your makeup might fade or become oily throughout the day, especially in warmer weather.

How to Fix: Lightly dust MsLondon’s Banana Bread Setting Powder over your makeup to set your look and control shine. The Banana Bread Setting Powder is especially helpful for touch-ups in the heat, ensuring your makeup lasts and looks flawless from morning to night.

Rubbing or Buffing Too Aggressively
Rubbing or buffing your foundation into the skin can cause irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin.

How to Fix: Use the MsLondon Iconic Flat Blending Brush and apply foundation with a gentle dab-dab-dab motion. This technique minimises skin agitation and ensures an even application without compromising the delicate mix of mineral pigments.

Choosing the Wrong Shade
Using a foundation shade that’s too light or too dark can make even the best makeup look unnatural.

How to Fix: Use our online shade finder or send us a makeup-free selfie for a personalised recommendation. The MsLondon shade range is carefully curated to match real skin tones, so you can be confident in finding the perfect match for a flawless look. 

With a few small adjustments, you can avoid these common makeup mistakes and elevate your look using MsLondon’s skin-friendly products. Our mineral makeup is crafted to give you beautiful, breathable coverage while caring for your skin.
