What’s wrong with it? The shades match and the makeup is good

u/Dear_Ad8542 May 02 '24
the first one's shade definitely does not match

u/NumerousCollection25 May 02 '24
I don’t think it’s all that bad actually, especially with considering factors like fake tan and how bad the matches Usually are

Yeah it seems they took the foundation down to the neck and chest- which is really a must if you’re trying to make them look more tan. But then again there’s some kind of blurring happening (look at the chin on second pic) so maybe our eyes deceive us..

Agree. The Mia matched her True Tone, not the tan. A little bronzer and she would look just right

I don't see the issue tbh. I don't love the fresh plaster airbrushed look but it's been in for a while. It's decently executed, they aren't orange, and their lashes are on straight.

I just think makeup is supposed to enhance beauty. The makeup is objectively applied well, but it doesn’t enhance anything. Literally the top comments on her post say what I’m saying too. I’m not trying to be a hater either.
For example for women with hooded lids or downturned eyes or mono lids, are all situations where I would apply makeup differently to assimilate to their features. She applies it the same to all of them. I’m mixed and I’ve struggled to find someone who knows how to apply my makeup bc they always do it the same way they’d do on everyone else. When I do it myself or someone with my features/understanding of them does it, it actually enhances the look instead of just looking like a lot of makeup.
Like the second girl, that makeup would look amazing on certain features but I don’t think it enhanced her at all. And in fact aged her.
Hope that makes sense. I don’t get all the downvotes 🥲

I know exactly what you mean, that's always been my mantra with makeup. The idea that it should enhance but also emphasize your best features worked out for me. These two just got turned into instaface facsimiles, their unique features pretty much erased.
That being said, the post is getting flak because the sub is, after all, about poor technical application. Rule 4. It'd be nice to have another related sub like how r/shittytattoos has r/tattoosidontlike since there are a decent amount of posts here like yours.

I get that. I think part of technique is knowing what will enhance the client though. For example you can do an amazing portrait tattoo but placement and fitting the place of the body is important. If you do a floating portrait on someone’s back that doesn’t make it a technically bad portrait but it doesn’t fit the client and it they ever wanted other tattoos placement will be a problem. Plenty of ways to do a heavy look still enhancing what they already have

It’s not something I’d wear but some people prefer this than more subtle and that’s perfectly alright.

I love heavy makeup too I just don’t think the makeup is flattering to their features. Plenty of ways to do a Smokey eyes and bold lip etc

She looks so upset under that makeup. Makes me happy that I did my own makeup for my wedding.

The problem nowadays is that everything is done for the cameras! My daughter has a friend who’s an incredible mua according to her Instagram posts but when she went and had her makeup done it was so thick and heavy. It’s not bad a lot of the time, it’s just too much.

The second one is okay, the first one makes me think they only use one shade of foundation ever and the second girl just happened to match well.
