Look, it usually happens. When we want to follow trend after trend or imitate our favorite stars, it is common to end up with a make-up worthy of a circus queen. And the worst is when you have to see it on social networks! To explain myself better, I show you with examples the makeup mistakes that Latinas make the most and how to avoid them once and for all. Celebrities, grab a pencil and paper!

“Wrong” concealer

Eva Longoria.

Eva Longoria has improved a lot, a lot, over the years in beauty. But on more than one occasion, the actress appeared with a pair of white circles under her eyes that made her look like a raccoon. The problem comes when you want to “brighten” the area - instead of using a lighter concealer, opt for one of the same shade as your skin and apply highlighter to the inner corner of the eyelid and at the temples.

Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Stiff leather

The rigid and heavy bases do not fit everyone, except if your skin is not in good condition or you already have the first wrinkles. Just what happened to Catherine Zeta-Jones ! To avoid this, always moisturize your face and apply a primer that smooths the surface. Follow with liquid bases that give you a more natural finish.

Tan or burned?

Zuleyka Rivera.

It is a fact that Latinas die for a golden skin, but friend, everything has its limits. A Zuleyka Rivera was handed the hand and is more beautiful than the tanning is a total distraction. Be clear to yourself - don't aim for a tan color overnight if you're not an expert in self-tanners or whiter than paper.

Tabs from another planet

Ninel Conde.

Maybe it's me, but perfect makeup is about enhancing what you already have. Although I understand that the image of Ninel Conde is rather picturesque, I feel that those eyelashes are more like flying insects than something more delicate. My advice? For a natural look, prefer individual or bunched eyelashes of three that give you a more classic look.

Exaggerated eyebrows

Sofia Vergara.

Bushy eyebrows are all the rage and in fact, I would die for some at Sofia Vergara. However, I think that when your eyebrows are naturally thick (or if they are not waxed, in your case) it is better to go the natural way. Make sure you use powder products to fill in whatever you need, and comb, comb, comb! That's the secret to making them look spectacular.

Mix of trends

Jennifer Lopez.

Jennifer López is one of the first to dare with new trends and styles, but sometimes it is too much. Precisely that nonsensical mixture is what throws years off him: lip liner, frost, false eyelashes, uneven base … Ummm, no. Focus on one feature and highlight it like never before. The essential idea of fashion is to adapt it to you.

Ignore your features

Kaley Cuoco.

Kaley Cuoco is an ace in comedy but on the red carpet he leaves a lot to be desired. It is not the first time that the actress opts for a look that does not favor her, and I am talking about that eye makeup that makes her look like a scolded puppy. Pay attention to your features! Believe me it will make an incredible difference.
