They make it look so easy, meanwhile you’re sittin over here with clown makeup

When I was learning my makeup a few years ago (transfemme, had never touched a makeup brush before 2022) I loaded up 4 TikTok instances on my PC and watched 4 tutorials at 2x speed at a time for about 2 hours.

I like to think that exposing myself to 16 hours worth of tutorials over a 2 hour period is why I can do my makeup as Well as I can today.

I’ve never managed to make my make up look 5% as good as they do. They make it look easy 😢

too real 😭

Tried applying blush today for the second time. Soon as I turn my camera on I realize I look like a clown 🤡

You gotta 1) invest in nice brushes and nice makeup with good formulas and 2) trust the process! It always looks heinous until it doesn’t.

That’s why I’ve always done things by intuition and reference, bit by bit.

I could never keep focus on doing a tutorial 😭.
