I have only gotten into makeup recently, and I feel like there is still so much I need to learn. As I started this blog to document the makeup that I try. I wanted to be clear with the fact that there are a lot of beauty things that I suck at, and I have picked up some bad habits along the way too. Which is perfectly fine, everyone has to start somewhere right?
This is Beauty Things I Suck At and Bad Habits.
Contour
Contour seems to be all off the rage at the minute and I just can’t figure it out. No matter how many times I try it never looks right. I’m thinking that my bronzers may be the wrong shade, so I’m going to invest in a cool toned powder and try again. Hopefully it makes a difference. Things can only get better right?…
Eye Shadow
I have hooded eyes and find it really hard to create looks that compliment my eye shape. Don’t get me wrong I’ve seen a little bit of improvement, but I still have no idea what I’m doing. Let’s just say you won’t be seeing any extravagant eye looks over here anyway. Even though I have discovered cream eyeshadow which has become a favourite.
Lip Liners
There isn’t a lot to say about this, as I don’t actually own a lip liner. I know, how can I call myself a beauty blogger? I’ve seen a lot of people rave about lip liners, so I know that I should try one and hope that it improves my lipstick application. I just find buying lipsticks better than liners.
Eyebrows
I’ve never actually done anything to my brows, apart from tidying them up by plucking some stray hairs. I never joined the trend of extremely thin brows, and to be honest I don’t know what to do with them. As I attempted to fill them in a while ago, but it was a disaster.
Sticking to a Skincare Routine
Skincare is something that I’m still trying to get into, but I find it hard to stick to. I love using the Body Shop Vitamin E range, and find that it really works for my skin, but actually using them daily is hard work. Well for me anyway. As I have really dry skin I make sure that I moisturise regularly, but cleansing and toning often go out of the window.
Sleeping in Makeup
This may be the worst one on the list. Sleeping in makeup is really bad for your skin, and it’s a habit I need to get out of. Fortunately it doesn’t happen very often, it’s mainly after a late night and I wash it off as soon as I can. Making sure that I do my whole skincare routine.

I'm hopeless at eye shadow! No matter how many tutorials I watch I just know I'm never going to create the perfect smokey eye!

I totally suck at eyebrows, never really used to fill them in until sometime last year, and haven't found my perfect product yet. I'm gonna keep looking though!

Omg, I have literally the same contouring issues as you, I get so jealous when I see girls wearing bronze and having contoured their faces perfectly because I just can't make it look nice on me!

I also suck at contouring :/ practice makes perfect though!
When I was a teenager I used to sleep with my makeup on (out of laziness) no wonder I had such bad skin!!
