How I Really Learned to Do My Makeup

So many ask how I learned makeup—and honestly, it wasn’t overnight. At first, I tried following full-face tutorials from beauty gurus. Spoiler: with zero basics, every step felt like a fail. My son actually said my early looks were scary! Then I switched tactics: one step at a time. Brows first—they’re easiest. I googled shapes, tried tons, found the one that fit me, and kept practicing (with photos!). Next, lips—thin and a bit pouty, so I adapted tutorials that didn’t quite fit me. Nose contour? Simple but scary at first—I was afraid of overdoing it, but practice helped me nail it for camera-ready looks. Eyes? That took the longest. I started simple: curl lashes, light liner, then built up—double eyelid tape, winged liner, lower lash definition. It took patience, but now it clicks. Also, posting and getting real feedback changed everything. Sometimes you just need fresh eyes and honest advice. If you’re stuck, try sharing—community helps you grow. #beauty #makeup #makeuppractice
