Oops!

1. My cat-eye is completely crooked.

Fix: Even out your line with a pointy cotton swab dipped in oil-free remover, which won’t smudge the rest of your make-up. Gigi’s secret weapon: this micellar water by Bioderma. 

- Johnson’s Baby Cotton Buds, Rs. 70
- Bioderma Sensibio H2O,  Rs. 599

Oops!

2. I  overfilled my brows. Now, they’re more freaky than fleeky.

Fix: Brush hairs upwards with a clean spoolie (or a clean mascara wand) to diffuse, says Gigi. The bristles grip onto and remove excess product. You can also use a small, angled brush, dipped in creamy concealer (peep her fave by M·A·C) to polish the edges. Bodyography’s dual-ended tool offers both brushes.

- M·A·C Studio Finish SPF35 Concealer, Rs. 1,500
- Bodyography Brow Brush, Rs. 1,475, on amazon.in

Oops!

3. I have VFL (visible foundation line).

Fix: Whether your foundation is a shade off or it oxidised post--application (very common), a damp beauty blender is your friend, says Gigi. “Blend the line with the round side, focusing on the perimeter of your face.”

- Sephora Beautyblender, Rs. 1,400

Oops!

4. I sneezed while applying mascara.

Fix: Removing wet mascara marks can create a bigger mess, so “first and foremost, wait five minutes for it to dry,” says Gigi. Then wipe it with a clean cotton swab or make-up remover tool (Givenchy’s has a precise marker-like tip).

- Givenchy Mister Perfect Instant Makeup Eraser,  Rs. 3,100, amazon.in

Oops!

5. I overstrobed and look like a disco ball.

Fix: Just contour, says Gigi. Sweep bronzer on cheekbones to dull the shine.

- M·A·C Contour Kit, Rs. 3,100

Oops!

6. I applied way too much blush.

Fix- To tone down the redness without redoing your whole face, “swirl powder foundation on cheeks with a fluffy brush,” says Gigi. 

- M·A·C 127 Vibe Tribe Split Fibre Face Brush, Rs. 2,450
- Bobbi Brown Skin Weightless Powder Foundation,
Rs. 4,030
