As the host of You Beauty's The Formula and someone who's quite partial to a yap, I speak to a lot of brand founders, experts and big names in the beauty industry. It's fun! Exciting! And I always come away with some solid golden nuggets to shake up my beauty routine.
But few interviews have made me as excited as I was when I got the chance to sling q's at none other than British beauty entrepreneur and makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury. Yes, THE Charlotte Tilbury — the woman behind some of the biggest cult products in the beauty industry (ahem, Flawless Filter).
Watch: Speaking of beauty mistakes, here's the time I tried the 10-pump foundation hack. Post continues below.
And you're going to bet I asked her approximately ALL of the things (and more).
With over 20 years of experience under her (makeup) belt, Charlotte has built a reputation as a world-class makeup artist and remains a fixture behind the scenes at Fashion Week and some of Hollywood's biggest red carpet events.
So, naturally, I had to ask her: What are some of the biggest makeup mistakes you see? What do most people get wrong in doing their own makeup?
And guess what? She answered.
What was that? Of course I'm going to share some of them with you! Silly question.
So, let's get on with it.

As that very smart saying goes, 'Not to prime is a crime' — and our friend Charlotte couldn't agree more.
