Between her capacity as Big Little Lies makeup department head and her work on Sharp Objects, celebrity makeup artist Michelle Radow has a beauty tip for every situation. She’s learned a little bit of water can make all the difference and knows you really don’t need to splurge on mascara. Lucky for us, she has many more nuggets of wisdom to share.
The last time PureWow had the chance to talk to Radow, we were curious to know about the beauty blunder she sees even the most seasoned makeup aficionados make—and how we can avoid doing it at home.
Radow explained, “One beauty mistake I often notice people make is using too much pressure when applying makeup.”
She went on to say this results in “an overdone, dry, cakey look.” So, how do we make sure our visage looks as fresh and non-cakey as possible? Radow says it’s simple: “Be gentle, especially around the eyes!”
