Ever finish your makeup and feel like it just looks… off? Not polished, not messy—just kind of dirty? Here’s what’s likely going wrong (and how to clean it up): ① Your base isn’t sealed. Layer intentionally. I go: hydrating SPF → setting spray → foundation + primer blend → setting spray → concealer → setting spray → brightening liquid → setting spray → setting powder → matte highlighter on brightened areas. Sounds like a lot, but the result? A locked, even canvas. ② Too much pigment, too soon. New to makeup? Stick to lower-saturation shades. Softer tones are easier to control and blend. ③ Harsh edges. Blending isn’t optional. After applying blush or shadow, grab a clean brush with matte translucent powder. Sweep gently over the edges. This softens harsh lines and pulls the look together. Trust me: “clean” makeup is all about texture, tone—and what you don’t see. #beauty #makeup #cleanmakeuplook
