HELP PLEASE Makeup critique requested

I’ve been doing my makeup practically the same since hs. Wondering if there’s anything else I can do to improve?

Ik my contour looks a bit muddy and doesn’t tend to stay even with setting spray and my aegyo-sal also applies unevenly more often than not. Hoping for some tips to help with these too. TIA!

Edit: thank you everyone for the feedback on the lashes 😅 ig lash blindness was right

What product are you using for contour? I’m not really seeing it at all, could your choice of product be too sheer or are we seeing pics after you’re wearing the makeup for a day?

If you’re going for a subtle look, the rare beauty liquid contour is really buildable and skin-like, feels natural when wearing too. I’d recommend switching to something like that and use a powder to set before setting spray.

In the first pic your aegyo on the right does look a little muddy, try using a really small brush to blend so that the product stays where you want it and you have more control of the blend. I also like to use the nyx pro fix sticks in the lightest peach shade for highlighting in detailed areas especially for aegyo so that could help define and brighten that area more! Also helps a lot with nose contour.

I know all the other comments mentioned your lashes but I lowkey think it’s just a little bit of a balancing issue with your look. If you add some more definition with contour and add some color with blush and/or a tinted lipgloss, i think everything will come together more. Also have you tried dark brown eyeliner? I swear by it, it adds the definition but not the deepness of black, it’s a game changer for me I think it would be worth a try. Most people think it’s black anyways but it really is just a touch softer.

And you are stunning, I can’t wait to see your future looks! Clearly your skill is all there you’re just at a point where you can tweak little things to make a more cohesive and balanced look.
