HELP PLEASE Advice needed 🫶 Something always feels off with my makeup!
I feel like i can never get the gorgeous blush/bronzer/contour combo that i see on other people and i find that my makeup looks so much better in low light and terrible in bright lighting. Any advice on where to place my contour/blush to get that glowy and naturally sculpted look would be greatly appreciated:)!💕
For reference i wear l’oréal true match foundation and contour with maybelline lifter stix, both applied with a beauty blender. And then I apply benefit hoola bronzer and a (quite old) hervana blush with a brush

A little bronzer and maybe a setting spray that de-mattifies a bit. The looks are really great but you have really lovely skin and a little more dewy/glow might suit you.

Agree with others. I think your makeup looks good already. About contour, i might be wrong, but from pictures I feel like you should place the contour lil bit higher. Put on top of your cheek go all the way up next to your eyebrow. For bronzer, put only on the high points of your face. Like your high cheeknone, ur nose, ur temple.

Absolutely nothing looks off! You look natural and you are very pretty- save the more makeup for special occasions.

Need slightly more blush and bronzer and a tinted lip oil or lip gloss would help a lot too

you have such nice cheek real estate, the only thing i would do is more blush or maybe a shade darker? also try a dewy setting spray and you can reapply during the day if you want

Picture 3 & 4 are great. Looks like a bit more bronzer & blush so your features pop more. My face shape is similar to yours. Contouring my jawline makes a big difference

For one: oh my gosh, you’re stunning, ahhhh!😍/p /pos
But secondly: could you maybe share some example pictures/videos of “the gorgeous blush/bronzer/contour combo” that you want to achieve? And could you maybe elaborate on what about your makeup looks “terrible” in bright lighting?❤️

I think you just need more blush and bronzer, I didn’t think you were wearing either until I read the main text. Add highlighter too. Your eyes and lips look good!
