It feels weirdThat I never learnedHow to properly

As someone in her late 20s I’m a bit sad that I didn’t learn how to play and apply makeup nicely when I was younger. Given, I did save a lot of money since I never invested in it, but I do wanna try out some makeup styles that I see on line. And when I do try to put in makeup it never looks how I want it to or it was really off lolol

Do you like applying makeup or are you someone who doesn’t put any makeup at all? #GirlTalk #lemon8challenge #relatablemakeup #my face looked weird #faildmakeup

I have no idea how to apply the basics like foundation, concealer, etc. I know the other stuff like eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, etc. But really, I always relied on my sister to help me if I did a makeup look bc she did color guard and knows the ropes. 😭

I totally get this! Makeup can feel so intimidating when you didn’t grow up practicing it. But the fun part is, it’s never too late to start every look is just another trial run toward finding your style .
