Ok please this isn’t about insecurity or confidence!!! Those are things I DO need to work on of course, perhaps we all do. But I just mean - I do my hair and makeup and feel so content about my “work” lol and then when I go out I feel like I look like a sweaty loser clown? Everyone else looks snatched and hot and I’m disheveled? How do I look more put together? I think my lighting is fine but is there a lighting mirror device people recommend to help with this? Or something I’m not thinking of? I’m not great at makeup - but I’m decent? I feel like I’ve figured out which primer I like, what foundations last vs which make me shiny too fast, Im plugged into all the “right” tik tok algorithms and use products I like! I’m tired of stepping out and feeling bad and ugly. Maybe it’s just my face.
Not sure about your climate, but in Washington DC, all summer long my hair and face are impacted by the humidity. Hair especially. Haven’t found a solution except to wait until the season changes.
