I’ll go first. Mine is that “skin like foundations” never actually look like skin in real life. They’ll look flawless on camera, TV, film, but that’s because they’re trying to mimic reality with makeup because of what’s gets lost on camera. So while it looks like nothing on film, it looks like makeup in real life. You’re not going to get that “second skin” look without the presence of a camera. It looks like makeup, and that’s okay. So that’s mine, what’s yours?

    Blush is very forgiving, most will end up looking about the same once applied and sheered out on the skin especially when applied with a light hand. So owning a ton of blush is pretty pointless especially if you own cream and liquid lipsticks since they can double duty as blush.

    Most of what people do nowadays is ridiculous. False lashes that look like spiders crawling up their face. Lip liner/lipstick WAY outside the lip line. Hours to put on 50 million layers to not look like yourself is just stupid.

    “Clean girl” aesthetic is ridiculous, the rest of us aren’t dirty and it seems pointless to apply all that product only to end up looking exactly the same as you did before. Neutral makeup in general is overrated and no fun at all. Along that line, neutral should not be the immediate standard for wedding makeup!

      There’s a reason that wedding makeup is Classic by default, however, if the bride isn’t a neutral makeup wearer in her everyday life she shouldn’t opt for that on her wedding day. And vice versa. I’ve done plenty bridal makeups over the years and my number 1 piece of advice was to choose a look that represents YOU. If you wanna wear blue eyeshadow with gold glitter on your wedding day, do it (this is referencing an actual makeup I did YEARS ago). Brides should feel as beautiful as possible and wear what makes them feel comfortable and authentic :)

    So many people are over contouring their faces. The human face is not supposed to have so many sharp angles, whenever I see someone highly contoured all I can think of is this guy
