The Blunder: Concealer Catastrophe

The Offender: Taraji "Powder Puff" Henson

But still, there’s an incredibly fine line involved with translucent powder. Use too little and you’re liable to look greasy. Use too much, and chances are you’ll look a bit like Casper, or Taraji P. Henson, here. Not helping the case: the too-light concealer.

The Fix: It’s quite easy to pick up too much powder, so gently tap your brush on the side of the container to remove any excess from the bristles, leaving just enough to do the job it's supposed to do. And throw out that old rule about choosing concealer that is lighter than your skin tone — you want that cover-up to match your skin, not create a too-pale mask around your eyes.
