I always felt ridiculous when wearing blush, but that changed when I ditched the brush with dense bristles and started using a big fluffy powder brush. It picks up very little blush (I use powder ones) and the result is a hint of colour that needs little to no blending.
I do my makeup in my kitchen. I started doing it when my eldest was little so I could have a stairgate between my makeup and a destructive toddler, plus I could still keep an eye on him while he played in the living room. It’s now habit to do it in there and it drives my partner nuts because I’ve taken over a corner of the kitchen.
As everyone else has said, you just need to practice and with time you’ll be able to do your makeup quicker. I do a full face 5-6 days a week and have done for years. When I only wore makeup occasionally it would take me at least an hour, now I have it down to 20-30 minutes.
Yes! My phone camera completely ignores my bronzer and blush and makes me one a one tone ghost.
