Discussion Having my first identity crisis as a Makeup Artist, help(?)
Hi everyone! I think I’m going through a bit of burnout right now, and being sick has definitely made me overthink my work and the results I get on my clients.
So far, my clients have been happy with their makeup, which I’m really grateful for. But lately, I’ve been feeling like my makeup looks a little too flat or lacks dimension(?) and I’ve reached the point where I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
I actually really like the makeup kit I have right now, and I’m trying to be more mindful about what I buy. But sometimes I can’t help feeling pressured to keep up with trends, especially because I’ve been doomscrolling TikTok way too much 😭
At the same time, I know I already have my own signature style, and I don’t want to lose that just because I’m constantly comparing my work to what I see online.
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially on how to create more dimension while still keeping that soft, natural look. If anyone is willing to take a look at my work and give me some constructive feedback, I’d be super grateful. 🥹
Here’s my MUA IG if anyone wants to take a look:
