These Makeup Habits Could Be Holding You Back…  @CarmelNicoleBeauty
Uploaded March 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Hi Everyone, in this video I’m sharing some old makeup habits I used to follow and how I’ve updated them for better results! I’ll walk you through each change (from techniques to product placement) to show how small tweaks can make a big difference.

This isn’t a ‘makeup mistakes’ video, but rather a guide to refining your routine for smoother, more flattering makeup application!
Thanks for watching 💕
Love Carmel xx
