Beauty Things I Suck At

When it comes to applying makeup and following beauty regimes, we all have things we are good at and others that quite frankly we suck at. I was thinking about all the things I hate doing in terms of beauty because I am rubbish at them and thought that I would share these.
   


False eyelashes
When it comes to applying false eyelashes, it all goes wrong. It doesn't matter what type they are or if they are a full lash or individuals, I can never get them exactly right. One reason for this may be because I hardly ever wear them or it may because as I struggle to apply them I hardly wear them. I always struggle because I either don't apply enough glue or too much and then it goes everywhere and turns into a disaster. I also probably don't have the patience to take my time and apply them and I never know when the glue is tacky enough so I've found the best way to get over this is to avoid wearing them!

Applying primer before foundation
I am AWFUL at applying primer simply because I don't do it. I forget to prime my face so often and it's only when I'm halfway through applying my foundation that I remember. Bad I know, but when I realise I don't take off my foundation and start again, I just simply carry on with what I was doing. 

Applying eyeshadow underneath the eye
Eyeshadow is something I don't really get on with. I like applying it and I've started to wear more of it recently, it's just that I find it's not the best thing to do in a hurry. I cannot apply eyeshadow underneath my eye as part of a smoky eye look or for that matter any kind of look because it looks as though I've just been in the shower with all my makeup on and it has run. Major panda eyes! I remember when I first started to wear makeup I used to regularly wear very dark eyeshadow here and it looked awful so it just brings back bad memories. Now I stick to eyeliner, because it's much easier. 

Blending eyeshadow
Notice a theme here with eyeshadow? I admit, I can apply eyeshadow perfectly well to my lids if I'm only using one colour, but as soon as blending is involved I'm out. I cannot to save my life blend through my crease and end up totally ruining my eye makeup. Instead of a blended look, where you can clearly see the colours, I do a good job of blending all the colours into one, which really frustrates me. If anything, this year I really want to get better at this blending thing, so I can wear different makeup looks, so I guess it's time to start practising. 

These are just a few of the beauty things which I suck at, and if I sat here for longer I could probably think of lots more. Why don't you let me know what beauty things you suck at?
