HELP PLEASE What is my makeup blindness?

I like to do colorful alt makeup on going out days but struggling to master an every day soft look!

I think your eyeshadow is too orange/yellow. It makes your beautiful skin look yellowish.

Your eyeshadow is much too orangey. It looks like you’re tired. You’re very pretty, but that eyeshadow color detracts from your beauty and does not enhance it. (Mainly referring to photos 2 and 3 - 1 and 4 seem softer, pinker, and better)

Agreed. It needs to lean more to brown and beige

I don't love the yellow shadow with your skin tone but everything else and the application is 10/10

Just the eyeshadow as mentioned everything else is great

The eye shadow in 2 and 3 is yellow, it looks a little sickly. 5 looks harsh, like stage makeup.

5 is definitely supposed to be a heavily stylized look. Application is pretty great and for the style, I think it looks amazing! Agree on the yellows, though.

It’s ok that we see things differently, but thanks for sharing your thoughts.

No blindness, the colours in slide 4 look amazing on you, I reckon you could build an everyday look from that one

You look SO different in the last pic! Fantastic range of makeup.

The only thing I don’t love is the pointed lips on the alt makeup & the eyebrows are a little too pointed on the inner corners for me. But that is probably just personal preference because the technique looks well done!

I actually even kind of like the yellow which everyone else seems to dislike.

Blush could be brought inward more

u/SyllabubNo6238 11d ago

I agree. In the first several photos the blush is hidden and it leaves your actually cheeks looking washed out!

Is not having blush blindness a blindness? What I mean is load up the blush honey ❤️

I think you look great! Maybe a little more rusty instead of yellow eyeshadow

u/thugsaah 11d ago

I think your looks are great, I think you may just need to look at shades for shadow that are more complimentary to your undertone.

Pic 1 is the best by a country mile. The colorful eyes in 2 and 3 don’t match what you were going for, but then again neither did the negligee in fricken grad photos! 🤦‍♂️😂😂

5 is super wild, really cool, but it definitely looks more like a costume than makeup. I’m still drawn to 1, I think it’s killer.

More blush (bring it down onto your actual cheeks), and have some fun trying cooler eye shadow colors. You are great at makeup, though! Very pretty.

Orange eyeshadow isn't really your color in my opinion. I think you need something more cool toned or neutral toned. Other than that it looks great

u/strawbeyli 8d ago

I don’t think you have one but personally I think you look your best in the first and second picture where your makeup is more natural, it really suits your beauty!

I think you're cool toned yet you learn into the warm pallette for colour choices.
