Why Your Makeup Looks ‘Messy’—And How to Fix It

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
