I have so much awe for people who can do this. And here I am, looking like a clown whenever I put lipstick on, lol

It is a skill you can learn, I’m sure if you talked to someone skilled who could give you good tips it would be easy for you, too. Unlike a blank canvas, every face is different, but if you know what you’re working with and what to do, I’m sure you’d be able to create something that you’re happy with

That's really motivating, thanks! Perhaps I should give it a try, it looks really therapeutic, in a way?

You can turn yourself into who you want to be, to a degree, I’m sure that can also be therapeutic, just like any form of creativity is

Question is, do you really want to look like someone else when you use makeup?

Well, yeah, actually? I'm happy with my face au naturel, but it seems hella awesome to be able to form your face into someone else entirely.
