No matter how good you are at applying makeup, mess-ups do happen.
Whether you accidentally swipe your mascara too quickly or dab on one too many coats of bronzer, these tiny flubs can have a big effect on your final look—and cost you major time when you’re getting ready. But don’t fret: You don’t actually have to redo your entire face. Here’s how to do damage control when you make a makeup boo-boo.
The mishap: Uneven eyeliner. We all have those off days—when our cat eye looks more squiggled than flicked.
The fix: Use a pointed cotton swab dipped in makeup remover, says Rick DiCecca, global makeup artist for Artistry. After squeezing any excess makeup remover onto a tissue, carefully swipe the cotton swab over the uneven area that you want to erase. “This technique will help you create a more perfect line so you don't need to remove all of your eye makeup," says DiCecca.
