It seems so simple, getting ready in the morning. How many mistakes could you possibly make? But according to Real Simple, many of us are making common beauty blunders. Fortunately, they're easy to fix.

For instance, if you put on your foundation without giving moisturizer a chance to dry, you can end up with splotchy or poor coverage (guilty as charged!). And if you wait until you're dressed to spray on your perfume, you could leave stains on your clothing. Instead, find something else to do for the 1-5 minutes it takes your moisturizer to soak in and spray on any fragrance while you're still in the buff.

What kind of beauty blunders do you find yourself making?

On my own with two children most hours of the day, I rarely make appointments at my hair salon. Instead, I have this really bad habit of passing the salon at the mall that accepts walk-ins and thinking, "Hey! Maybe I should get my haircut!" It's led to more than one bad haircut, but if nothing else, it's an adventure.

We all have our beauty blunders, and as this article from Self magazine points out, even pros have been known to make mistakes. Too much Botox, over-processed hair, ignoring skin cancer warning signs -- these women may have more knowledge and access to better beauty products, but they still make many of the same mistakes you and I do. It's an enlightening read and a reminder to us all that beauty shouldn't be about reinventing ourselves, but instead about enhancing the beautiful features we already have.
