Ever since I started doing my makeup I always thought, “Am I doing this right?”, “Did I choose the right shade?”, or “What’s the difference between contour and bronzer?

I think that the one thing that I always struggled with, and still sometimes struggle with, is shade matching. My face has its natural contours, so what may match one part of my face sometimes doesn’t match the rest. This picture was from January 2024, but I think I’ve mastered it now. I’ll give you guys an updated version if you’d like, but what are your thoughts?

Have you ever experienced makeup blindness? If so, what did you struggle with the most?

This issue often arises due to the vast array of products available and the complexity of matching foundation, concealer, and other cosmetic products to one's skin. Common struggles include understanding undertones, determining the right shade for different areas of the face, and distinguishing between similar hues in products.

To help you overcome makeup blindness, consider seeking professional help from a makeup artist or utilizing apps that offer virtual try-ons or personalized recommendations.

Hey beautiful. It looks like you were going for a “no makeup “ makeup look. I would probably have used a concealer a shade lighter than my foundation to clean up the brows more and maybe add a pressed powder to the forehead. It looks like there is no coverage there at all. Also probably add a war brown shadow to the eyelids and line my waterline with a dark brown. Youre beautiful btw
