Makeup Tips That Actually Make Sense

Some makeup advice that’s saved my face—and my time: 1️⃣ Your base doesn’t need to erase your skin. Want that “expensive skin” look? Aim for thin and even—not full coverage. Use multi-color concealer palettes to cancel tones (orange for dark circles, green for redness). A few imperfections make your skin look real. 2️⃣ Pick a focus. You don’t need snatched eyes, bold lips, flushed cheeks, and glass skin in one go. Choose one feature to spotlight. The rest? Chill. 3️⃣ Contour isn’t one flat shadow. Use two shades—one soft for structure, one deeper for precise carving. The darker the shade, the smaller the brush. 4️⃣ Highlight beats contour any day. Layer a cream highlighter under powder for that believable glow. Don’t just add shadow—add light. 5️⃣ Still not vibing? Get a second opinion. Sometimes your mirror lies. A good hair stylist (yes, even your Tony) can fix your whole aesthetic. 6️⃣ And honestly? Makeup is optional. Use it, don’t use it. It’s just another tool—not a requirement. #beauty #makeup #minimalmakeup
