It usually takes quite a bit of time and effort to get used to beauty products and get our makeup routine just right.

But as you and I develop these beauty routines, beauty mistakes are kind of inevitable.

It’s just a part of the process, so it’s no big deal!

And I’m here to help you figure out some simple mistakes you might be making, and what actual world-famous models have to say about them

This is what they’re avoiding, and I thought it’d be helpful if I shared their tips with you!

1. Not Removing Your Makeup

Sleeping with your makeup is a big no in the modeling world.

Canadian model Coco Rocha says she always cleans her face before going to bed to let her face breathe as much as she can.

Now I know that it might be kinda hard to do this all time, and especially when you’ve had a long day. But I promise you, your skin will thank you in the morning.

2. Not Washing Your Makeup Brushes

Hygiene is always essential for everything, but it’s extra important when it comes to beauty products because you apply them to your face.

I once heard a girl’s story where she got an infection and it almost went into her eye (yeah, it’s pretty important).

Linda Vojtova washes her brushes with baby shampoo to make them cleaner and last longer.

3. Consistency!

Another big problem that I (and maybe you) have done is not being consistent with my skincare routine.

And it does matter! You won’t be able to see good results without it.

Here’s what Miranda Kerr says, “Consistency is key! I never go to bed without washing off my makeup and I’m very consistent with my morning and evening skin-care routines.”

4. Using Too Many Products

Overuse of beauty products can actually be harmful to your skin.

Models like Erin Heatherton pay attention to not using too many products at the same time. Their advice is to give your face some time to relax by not wearing make up for a few days a week.

5. Not Using Natural Ingredients

There are lots of awesome beauty and skincare products, but none of them can take the place of natural ingredients.

They’re healthy, organic, and so much better for your skin.

Famous models like Candice Swanepoel and many more use natural products to keep their beauty well-preserved.

6. Not Getting Enough Water or Sleep

“When it comes to skin, I think drinking water and sleeping has a lot to do with it.” – Sara Sampaio 

Water is an incredible way to keep your skin look fresh and hydrated, and sleep is of course a no-brainer.

So try using a free app like Waterful to make sure you’re getting your proper intake of water, and don’t forget to create a good bedtime routine for better sleep.

7. Not Moisturizing Enough

“In the morning, I cleanse, tone, moisturize, and exfoliate two times a week. I moisturize a lot—day and night. I usually change my skin products according to the seasons, for winter and summer. My skin is very oily, so I tend to opt for a lighter moisturizer.” – Shanina Shai

I can definitely attest to this. When I’m moisturizing my skin, it looks so much better.

Also, my makeup looks a whole lot better on me too!
