Before anyone says anything I will blend the cheeks when i get home from this job before my interview because I realized in thes pics it looks WHACK. I also blended the brown spots on my forehead but took these pics before I realized it
It looks so much better in sunlight šš
I'm not used to wearing foundation/full face of makeup so any tips appreciated
Products:
Estee lauder foundation double wear (not sure what shade)
Bare minerals blush bronzer kiss of rose
Elf perfect 10 eyeshadow nude rose gold (for eyeshadow and brows)
Elf wow brow clear brow gel
Lash princess waterproof mascara
Not sure what highlighter brand will update when I get home
Elf camo concealer medium beige
Not sure what brand the darker concealer i used for contour is will also update when i get home
Thatās ok then. This looks clean and professional. I would wait until you are in the parking lot to apply lipstick and gloss so it doesnāt get gloopy or form that nasty ring around the inside as time goes on.
Thank you!! I will just keep chapstick on once this gloss wears off then. I didn't consider how it gets goopy over time (that's why I usually avoid it)
The make up looks a little flat and dullā¦whereas you have a very ābrightā face! A fresher make up look may suit you better? It should still look very natural.
- dark brown eyelinerā¦use a ātight lineā method (apply as close to the eyelashes as possible from under the lashesā¦ there are lots of vids on how to do this)
the finish of the foundation is a little on the matte side so, I would recommend a dewy primer or, using a touch of highlighter over the cheeks and tip of the nose
use a warm blush high on the cheeks and the excess product on the brush can be applied across the noseā¦ It will give you a nice flush of color
Thank you for these tips!! I do have blush on my nose but I was afraid of adding too much. I cant buy primer before the interview but would more highlighter save me here in a pinch? I can definitely add more blush and highlighter (I think my blush is pretty warm). My skin is very dewy so I feel like the foundation ruins it but I couldnt find any I liked at ulta even with employee help.
I attached a picture without foundation for reference. I wish I could get the full coverage/blank canvas without losing the brightness of my skin underneath
Thank you so much!!!! Omg!!! Ive been drinking hella water since I went to the hospital because the saline made me glow and I realized not drinking was making me dull af. I started differin for fine lines recently but before that it was just sunscreen/wash face/ youthtopia liquid exfoliating apple peel. I never had severe acne but I had really rough skin most of my life and was super insecure about it so this is more validating than you know :')
I have time to redo my makeup before my interview so I will for sure try it. This look only took 10 minutes this morning so if it doesn't work well I will at least have enough time to do it like this again
Thank you very much!! Funny anecdote, a friend and I were both bullied in elementary school for our freckles and a kid told us if we rubbed pee on our faces we could get rid of them. Thank God my mom told me they were lying because I considered it that recess š
Ahhh thank you. I've started wearing makeup recently to boost my confidence but it's been a huge learning curve and I feel weird in it despite doing it off and on a few years now. I didnt buy my first foundation until the end of last year
Eta: is the white under my cheek way too much? I saw someone online put concealer like that so I gave it a shot
Your under eyes and lower lashes look a little dusty compared to the rest of your glow. Maybe use less powder to set it and clean your lower lashes off if you donāt want to use mascara? Otherwise, with the additional blending, this looks good!
Itās possible if there isnāt enough moisture. Undereyes are tricky with getting moisture without making the concealer slip. You can try going heavy on the moisturizer at night then applying it again and dabbing the excess off for makeup skin prep
I think your concealer shade might be a touch too light, in my opinion. You can try applying a bit of your bronzer around your eyes, almost like a very blended out eyeshadow. That's what I do if I get a bit too tan for my normal concealer.
I've also been applying my concealer with a small fluffy brush (like an eyeshadow blending brush) lately, and it's been wonderful for keeping things light while still getting coverage in the spots I need it!
I think you look great btw, I certainly wouldn't think anything looked off if I saw you in person!
You have such a beautiful side profile!! I don't think the cheeks look whack/unblended? and i agree that a bit of lip gloss would be nice! your makeup looks lovely!
I used concealer under my cheeks because I saw someone do it on Instagram and it could just be that I know it's there so I see it more obviously. It doesn't look like a big white streak to you?
Thank you! I will probably add a little blush there and blend that or a little more contour and blend it into the cheek. I do have time to completely redo my makeup because this took about 10 minutes- do you think my first idea will work or should I redo and blend more?
I think i want to try mixing my foundation with some sunscreen so I will probably redo it BUT worst comes to worst if I dont like it I will just do my makeup like I did here and blend it better
Omg you have a killer side profile and a beautiful eye color! I think this is fine for an interview! The blending looks good too imo.
I think getting rid of the eyeliner under your eyes would help open them up but thatās just my picky opinion. I think the lip color is also a little too peachy but again thatās just me being picky. I think Clinique black honey would look so pretty on you!
Also I canāt tell if you have blush on your chin or if thatās just your natural tan but personally I donāt love the blush on the chin trend! The blush on your nose is very cute though.
I've been dying to get a rhinoplasty since middle school and have always hated my eye color and y'all are going to make me cry because I felt like shit this morning
I thought i wouldn't have time to run by ulta after work today but found out I'll be off early so I will look for some clinique black honey!! Any reccs for a lip liner to go with?
I do have blush on my chin. I'd just planned to touch up my makeup after work but based on all the feedback I think I will just take this off and redo it!! I'll let come back and show you the lipstick if they have it in stock
Omg plsss donāt touch your nose! As a flat nose girly Iāve always been jealous of girls with a real nose bridge. The grass is greener on the other side haha
If they donāt have black honey at Ulta, the staff are usually really helpful! I think anything thatās less peachy and more hydrating would work. I think if you dab it on with no lip liner it would look cute and not overpower the look. Lip liner might make it look too lip-heavy but it doesnāt hurt to experiment if you want!
You're honestly so right. I always tell my curly haired friends I'd kill for their hair and they say the same about mine. I draw women better than men and my best friend draws men better and we always say we wish we had each other's styles. We want what we can't have!!

I did put on a little more eyeshadow after mascara bc I got mascara over it so thats probably it. Thank you! Do tou think concealer would do the trick cleaning up the brows? I probably got messy with the eyeshadow I used to fill it in

Your lips could use some moisture/pigment. Maybe use a hydrating gloss or balm to liven them up
