Makeup Trends That Are RUINING Your Makeup!! DO's and DON'TS 2024.

[@AquamarinaPearl]

I really appreciate how you didn’t over-exaggerate the wrong side

[@abbyneff]

@@AquamarinaPearl that’s so funny. My boyfriend was like “I don’t know about your thumbnail. They look the same” and I said that’s the point. It doesn’t need to be drastic to be noticeable. And I was right! I told him “the girlies would get it” 💕 yay! Thank you for saying this :)

[@AquamarinaPearl]

@@abbyneff oh my gosh that’s so funny because it’s clear as day to us girls. That’s how my makeup turns out every time on the wrong side then my self-esteem plummets because I can’t figure out why I look worse than before I did my makeup and older - especially my lip liner which ages me about 15 years lol 🥵 can’t thank you enough for explaining your reasonings too so we can fully understand and for wanting to help other women 🥲 I’ll have to re-watch it probably 3 more times until I remember everything 😂🫶🏼❤️

[@abbyneff]

@@AquamarinaPearl ah this is SO sweet. Truly motivating for me to make more videos :) if you have any recs lmk! Happy to make them. Also if you don’t follow me on TikTok I post a ton on there! And IG but more on TikTok

[@jenniferkoller7336]

OMG.. ALL THIS IS, IS HER OPINION- JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER VIDEOS.. SO WHO SAYS SHE'S RIGHT??? SHE ACTUALLY CONTEIDICTED SOME THINGS I JUST WATCHED ON A VIDEO EARLIER AND THE OTHER ONE MADE MORE SENSE THAN THIS ONE!!!!!

[@EllyD_NYC]

Honestly both sides looks good. You should of done the demonstration on a mature face like your moms to see the actual difference. Your skin is flawless without makeup so however you do your makeup it still looks good. I would love to see a part 2 on a mature face. Thank you. Great video

[@abbyneff]

Exactly my thoughts!!! Both sides look incredible!!!

[@oliadeva8375]

Interesting presentation. Really enjoyable to see the different effects!

You tube your mom's make up please. I don't have tik tok

[@MairaPalacios-d6h]

I recently turned 29 and have realized my makeup has done everything you mentioned on the wrong side. The wrinkles, the caking, the dryness and everything in between. I’ve been so upset thinking it’s just part of the aging process and beating myself up thinking I’m going to age quickly and not as gracefully as others. While that may be the case, you just gave me so much hope and inspired me to try a new makeup routine. I’m still so mind blown at everything you showed in this video. Thank you!!!!

[@Brego100]

It’s just trends-neither side is wrong and you’re beautiful in both. I like tutorials that show how to accomplish different things and let us decide what we prefer for our unique faces and lifestyle. No need to call it right/wrong. Makeup is fun-do what you like!

[@abbyneff]

You're so right. I leaned into the eye catching title for views and never really clarified in the video that I believe makeup is an art and I want to help motivate creativity. However there are ways to really amplify natural features. That was really what I wanted it to be about.

[@laurenj432]

I think the ‘right/wrong way is incredibly helpful for those of us who like our makeup to enhance our natural features va distract from them. The right side looks a bit more eccentric, and strong which is a perfectly fine way to do makeup because makeup is an art form. But I also feel like the kind of people who like their makeup to look well, like makeup wouldn’t be the type to click on the video on the first place, because they do whatever makeup they want. It’s the same for fashion advice. A lot of fashion and makeup advice is based on ratios and proportions of what looks most flattering or natural to the eye rather than clash with your natural features, but if someone doesn’t care about looking natural then the advice isn’t really for people like them, it’s for people like us who love a natural look but don’t know how to achieve it.

[@SamsSwatchSociety]

I really freaking love how you agreed with her comment and kinda called yourself out for creating an eye catching title but, then clarifying that you want everyone to be creative and happy with whatever makeup trend they do or don't do. Really shows your values in my opinion. I just wanted to tell you that i appreciate the honesty in your comment​. and I appreciate your want for everyone to just enjoy themselves and how they look in their makeup. Thank you. ❤@@abbyneff

[@abbyneff]

@@SamsSwatchSociety aw babe thank you for seeing me 🥹 and taking the time to read and comment. Means a lot 💕

[@winksoy]

I strongly prefer the professional approach to makeup. From a real makeup artist or a professional real model. Not that instagram nonsense, it’s all makeup want to be’s or fake models teaching people how to wear too much makeup, looking like clowns in the end.

[@megan5475]

If I had flawless skin like that, I wouldn´t even be wearing foundation. Stunning.

[@menow1650]

@@abbyneff I can't find this one, ty ;)

[@mirjamaruvalja]

I agree with absolutely everything except the mascara placement thing. When a person has a longer midface (which you don’t), a bit of mascara on the lower lashline can help to create the illusion of a more balanced face. I used to skip this step, but now a bit of lower lash mascara is a must for me. Great video. ❤

[@vanessahobbes3072]

Yes I agree! With my eye/faceshape, having a lower lash gives me more balance and achieves facial harmony. I totally get why some people would skip, it totally depends on your face.

[@abbyneff]

Great feedback. Finding people prefer the wrong side of mascara 50/50. Interesting! Thank you for the feedback :)

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

100%

[@trppro7640]

Aging causes the face to get longer so this is a great tip. Use mascara on lower lashes lightly.

[@fascinationmama]

Thank you for the tip

[@AquamarinaPearl]

I just finished watching it and I make every single one of the mistakes on the wrong side (except putting my blush up to my eyes lol) I’ve been watching tutorials on YT for 10 years like everyone else and I only just now feel like I understand makeup after watching this lol. I feel like I’ve been brainwashed to treat makeup as a mask instead of enhancing our natural state like these tips do. Brilliant ✨ thanks so much

[@catvalencia]

They aren’t mistakes girly. It’s a preference 🩷

[@MyNordstromwishlist]

I don’t like how people say “everything you’re doing is wrong.” To each their own. We all have different faces. That being said- you’re beautiful with nothing on!

[@abbyneff]

Thank you for saying this! It's mainly a teaser.. click bait if you know what I mean

[@M.I.A105]

1. Primer - primer or base cream to moisturise - prevents dryness. 2. Foundation/SPF tint - Do not swipe it on, it causes streaking/patching. Use a bouncy damp sponge, dabbing the product that is on the back of the hand onto your face. 3. Concealer - light to medium coverage. Put a bit of concealer in the corner, below eye divot but not close to the under eye area. Use dry q tips to get rid of excess concealer under the lash line area to prevent creasing. 4. Powder - baking technique creates thick layers of cakiness - very unflattering. Use a (press) powder and rub off onto hand before putting some under the eye and nose crease area. 5. Contour - dab contour on hand, then swirl your brush into it. Disperse product by bouncing brush along contour lines (angled dense brush) in a controlled manner. 6. Blush - put blush on the back of hand, dab brush into it, smile and put above cheekbone extending slightly to the hairline. You can use some on eyelids for a cohesive look. 7. Brows - Beware of the laminated look, use a light hand brushing hair up and out so it's stiff but natural. Filling in eyebrows slowly with hairstrokes in sparse spots. 8. Lashes - ensure they are curled and then use a brown/black mascara (depending on eye colour) and make sure to get rid of clumps. 9. Lip liner - lip balm, sharpen lip liner and trace lip shape and top off with lip gloss/stick. 10. Highlight - put on back of hand, use fingers and put on high points.

Normally, I watch these types of videos with a grain of salt, but I love the tip about warming up the cream bronzer and blush products first with the back of your hand then applying with a brush. Great tip! 😁

[@Sandy-p4m]

Do the same with your concealer too. It helps. :)

[@abbyneff]

Thank you for the feedback :)

[@evarojak2307]

When it comes to your eyes, I like the way the „incorrect” side looks. It makes your eye pop more and the eye looks more open.

[@NakyaHibbeler]

I created an account to let you know I am 44 and have watched so many how to videos in hopes of someone helping me and I finally found yours! It was informative, extremely thorough with a bit of cheeky humor...I have never commented because frankly there hasn't been anything to comment on so thank you for seeing what I NEED and not only the latest trend.

[@paulawooding7325]

You’re young and beautiful so anything looks great on you! Have to say what spoils the right side for me is the contour, it’s giving me the 80’s stripe of blusher look, where is the wrong side looks far more subtle. Also, it’s a different look, but the black mascara looks just as good as the brown. Oh and btw, I wish I had your wrinkles😂

[@abbyneff]

hahaha! I know... they will only get worse too sadly. But trying to view age with grace and beauty but its so hard when they start to pop up ughh. Thank you for saying your opinion! Love to see what you guys think too :) Appreciate you!

Hi Abby! Just wanted to thank you for this video. It literally changed the game so much for me and I now receive compliments on my makeup almost every day, it's crazy! I wanted to request a glowy natural bridal look if you don't already have one :) im getting married in june and would love to follow a tutorial from you!

[@rubydoo3307]

I think this video helped me because, although I have more texture and a different skin type to you (I'm oily), the mixing of products and keeping things on the back of your hand, and just controlling the process in really small ways is actually very helpful, keeping things lively and using less is a great idea to not just look better but save product.

[@abbyneff]

Totally. Less is more for all skin types. Adding in layers and slowly building up is key to not looking caky. Thanks for the feedback :)

Same. I’m digging how some mu artists and influencers are starting to age and starting to offer subtler looks and tricks for aging skin. You can’t do glitter and glam forever, ladies! You will need to learn the basic “natural” looks eventually. 😅

You did a great job but I have oily skin so I don't think a lot of cream products work for me & i don't want to be shiny but I don't want it to crease or be patchy either so it's the technique and what works for everyone individually for your skin... it's a lot of trial & error imo... That's why I've never followed trends at all...i just find what works & looks best on my face & body & just have my own path/lane of style...Thank you though i enjoyed... Jeffrey Star has been talking about the Bobby Brown face base for over 10 years... It's too expensive for me & im not dry anywhere on my face...

[@raspberryswirl375]

As a person with extremely oily skin, I have tried all types of moisturizers and primers. Every single one has caused my makeup to shift throughout the day. There ARE a large number of moisturizing products I CAN'T use due to the fragrances. This is a huge issue with the beauty community, because the vast majority of the products that are suggested contain perfumes. That leaves people like myself, who get migraines, or people with very sensitive skin, at a major disadvantage. I have had excellent luck with NARS light reflecting foundation. It goes on directly without shifting, and although it has a slightly dewy look, it doesn't ever look oily or cakey. Also, as a person with extremely oily skin, I do not ever use powder! It causes makeup to crack, especially around the eyes and forehead. I use NARS foundation, Clinique chubby stick cream blush, and recently discovered that Wet 'n Wild has a line of gel lip liners that stay all day (seriously, even when eating and drinking). There are sadly only a few colors, but the name is Perfect Pout. Now, if anyone has a suggestion for eyeliner that stays all day on super hooded eyes and very, very oily skin, I would love to hear about it. The only place I wear primer is on my eyelids, but it doesn't help a whole lot. All liquids crust off within an hour, and pencils smear and have to be fixed throughout the day!

[@labaccident2010]

I’ve had to fight to get diy eyeliners made with the inglot duraline off even using oil based makeup removers. My eye area is also really oily. I don’t know if that would help you though. It’s what i use for all my eyeliner now since everything else would just disintegrate with the oil around my eyes.

Hi! Try using Dim vitamins to help the oiliness from within . Dr. Berg talks about this on his KZbin channel. I also have extremely oily skin . That helped!

[@jamesnylan]

I'm a Pro MUA, and I think you're beautiful and skilled. I also think that using concealer on eyelids causes the shadow to crease, so I use an eye primer, like Sigma. Your look is lovely for everyday wear, but watching this is making me want to go do the most loud, maximalist, editorial look, because I'm a loud and proud gay man, who loves color and intensity. I can do a nice everyday look, but I like to experiment with makeup. Also, I'm super oily, so dewy anything ends up looking like the bottom of a frying pan on me.

[@abbyneff]

@@jamesnylan aw thank you for the comment :) happy a pro can support what I’m saying! And yes I agree with the creasing. Taking it off the crease with the q tip is the only thing I’ve found. I have kind of dry lids and can generally see primers. I’ll check that one out! And don’t get me wrong I LOVE full glam. I’m more of a natural girlie and think skin is so important to any makeup look so starting my followers off with the basics 💕

[@jamesnylan]

@@abbyneff You are stunningly beautiful, and I think it would be fun to see you in full glam, but no hassle, no pressure. I don't wear a full beat on the daily, and most of my clients don't, either. Yes, skin prep is majorly important! Thank you for responding!

[@labaccident2010]

So what about when the person has deeper set eyes or more purpley eyelids? Because that’s the reason I use concealer, to help get a brighter base. Would i then need to get an eye primer that’s pigmented to combat that?

Everyone has their own routines but honestly, when it comes to westman atelier, there is no need to waste product by warming it up as it melts beautifully as soon as it touches skin. I use a Rae Morris shader and cheekbones brush and it blends like a dream. And WA's brush for the super loaded I use to blend everything I use on my cheek flawlessly. They are so easy to use. The takeaway here is that baking is finally over and to not hide but enhance our natural beauty. The brown mascara really does work so well with your natural coloring. Very pretty.

I recently got back into dramatic spider lashes because of Charlotte Tilbury's "exaggereyes" black mascara. I was wearing Pillow Talk in dream pop (an auburn/burgundy)- it's the perfect mix between drama for a blonde without the harshness of a black. I'm obsessed so I wanted to share!

[@abbyneff]

Thank you so much! Ill have to try :)

[@jenniferneal4323]

This is such a lovely, easy to follow demonstration! For someone (like me) who isn't super into make and doesn't have or make tons of time to do their makeup this will be very helpful! Thank you!!

[@abbyneff]

Of course!!!

[@cocalocita1012]

Thank you soooo much. This Video shows me really, how I can do my makeup better (even for the highlighter...) ❤

[@abbyneff]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@patriciakelton3375]

Thank you Abby! I tried your technique for foundation and blush application and it looked amazing!! Can you do a nighttime glam look tutorial??

[@abbyneff]

Lots of comments for this! Yes will do :)

[@marilynndoll]

Thank you so much for this video. I swear my phone can read my mind. I literally was just thinking the other day, man I wish someone out there would teach the legit natural makeup tips that muas do on their professional models.. When I saw your thumbnail pop up randomly on my feed, I immediately thought, YeS! THis girl Knows what she’s talking about, that natural look side is eXactly what I was looking for. God Bless! -Saving this video and watching it on repeat.

[@abbyneff]

Hahaha thank you for the comment! Love it. Now the internet can read minds lol

[@luskentyre65]

Each to their own. Apart from a bit too much blush on the wrong side, I prefer it it to the right side.

[@themaybeso6117]

If you do want to more concealer, especially for adding highlight on a heavier base, my advice is that use can still do the “triangle”, just use a light hand to draw the shape but don’t fill it in, like just draw three lines.

[@catherineyoung1433]

I love the more natural lash look on you. Thank you for encouraging your viewers to do that instead of heavy black or, heaven forbid, fake lashes for every day.

[@abbyneff]

Of course! Thank you!

[@funfan515]

To be honest, It’s almost difficult to see the right and wrong side of your face. You are young and beautiful, so it’s almost impossible to make wrong make up mistakes ON YOUR FACE. You might want to try to present the techniques on different age groups too. We would love to see that! Thank you 😊

I think first of all you’re a gorgeous lady and you look good with no make up at all. This is great advice for all

[@abbyneff]

Aw thank you love

[@poupaky]

I’m not sure anyone would do all what you called “wrong”. Using a foundation brush is not wrong, you just have to know how to use it and no you can tap the brush. I’m with you about using products like contour or liquid blush directly on the face. But honestly does anyone use the brush the way you did on the wrong side? I doubt about that. Also the black mascara and how you think looks on you is absolutely personal and depends on the person’s complexion and preference. Frankly calling it wrong is wrong. People have different skin types and discoloration with dark under eyes. Less is always better. Who bakes these days I wonder. Setting powder is always better than pressed for under eyes…. What’s important is how much and the method you use to apply. Anyway appreciate your opinion.

[@abbyneff]

100% agree. I wish I could go back and change the way I said that!

[@Endotastrophe]

Totally agree - it’s more of a personal preference. 👌

[@almostacrone8046]

Honestly, you are the first person I have seen put concealer on correctly on KZbin on TikTok and on Instagram. I am amazed.

[@abbyneff]

Yay!!!! Thank you!

[@lindajohnsonkaplan647]

Brown mascara, yes! Black looks harsh on so many people. Like foundation, it’s nicer to hear someone complement your eyes or skin rather than your foundation or mascara. Great to see blending of different foundations too. Even after finding a good match it’s sometimes easier to adjust it a bit another shade or different brand. A custom blend. I’m almost 57 and still love new tips; the lip liner looks perfect.

[@abbyneff]

Appreciate the feedback! Youll love this if you're on Tiktok :) My mom and I did some tutorials and thought I would link for you! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFB8P8cd/ www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFB8y9Ga/

[@celestefaia]

Love this! Hope I’m not repeating questions but there were too many for me to look through completely lol - as I’m adding everything to my cart, 1) could you comment on whether these colors (especially blush) work on cool toned skin? I am super fair skinned with a pink undertone but you seem warm toned in the video, so worried this won’t work for me or the lip might be too dark 2) have you made videos for covering a blemish? I know powder helps with texture so I generally layer powder products (yellow-ish powder to cover red, powder contour by Mario, and powder blush by Kosas since it has shimmer with no additional highlighter) 3) if these are too specific, do you do one-on-one tips? 😂❤ Can’t wait for more tips from someone in the industry with so much experience!

[@abbyneff]

Hi!! So as far as cool tones, I recommend this Saie dew blush in rosy! Or happy by rare beauty. And for blemishes, kosas concealer and a little powder ideally :)

[@maya.3544]

I just subscribed after watching this video. You explained everything so well and I appreciate that. Could you please consider creating a tutorial on how to choose red lipstick shades based on skin tone ? Thank you .

[@abbyneff]

Definitely! Put it in my notes for future videos :) Thank you for the request

[@Mariyah.I]

Thank you ❤ I haven't been putting make up on for a while but I watch some videos sometimes.. I actually just got a foundation last night and I've been overwhelmed with how to apply things correctly and in the right order of products 😅 your make up looks so elegant and classy and soft which is exactly what I like ❤

[@abbyneff]

Aww thank you so much!!

[@Sandy-p4m]

I kinda like the "dont" side better. Lol. I just like the blush higher because im old and i have a very round face. The other side gives you a fuller cheek look and im trying to elongate.

[@abbyneff]

For sure different techniques for different faces :) Appreciate the feedback! I would go back and clarify that if I could

[@gentleeyes]

You are so right about the electrocuted brows haha! And your bronzer looks flawless. I will definitely be changing my technique with that.

[@abbyneff]

HAHA so funny. Its true. Yay!! I'm so glad :)

[@juliaelizabethjoy]

Stunning, seriously on the “correct” side. The glow is beautiful!!! Huda powder looks gorgeous when applied lightly with a small fluffy brush . Not a fan of baking and I know ppl usually use it for that but it looks wonderful used with other techniques

[@abbyneff]

Its def a technique thing with that powder because its SOOOO heavy. Also wouldn't recommend for aging skin. Thank you for the comment babe!

[@catvalencia]

It’s not ruining your makeup, that’s such a wild thing to say. These makeup “trends” have been around for so many years. What you like is a preference.

[@abbyneff]

But it got you to watch! Which was the point. Agreed, strong language that I wouldn't say IRL but for KZbin, it works :)

[@abbyneff]

Again, I totally agree with you.. keeping it real! lol

[@Elquds]

I am going to try not to write too much. I freelance and do not mean this as harsh criticism, but I do want to point out something. The correct and incorrect sides may have been done better with the same products. For example, when you used powder, if you show how one of the powders worked on both sides, it would be a better way of showing different techniques. To bake on a side that wasn’t moisturized, where we would expect it to be caked on and heavy, while the other side was lightly powdered on moisturized skin. Then you blame the product rather than the technique. I do own both powders and use them on different clients for different purposes. Basically, the purpose of the video was to be focused on techniques. Although I do not use baking technique every time, I think there’s a time and place for it.

[@lyriclizette]

Thank you!! That’s what I was thinking! She also let the contour dry on the “wrong” side while she did the “right” side but if she had blended right away, it wouldn’t have been as hard to blend or patchy/dry

[@jacobrowe9226]

it’s purposeful misuse of products to sway opinion in the favor of her style. every time i see one of these videos on my recommended tab its the same content every time lol.

[@Elquds]

@@lyriclizette I agree.

Great video! I’d love to see suggestions for ppl with superficial scarring- love the sheer but need to cover.

[@demidesiree1486]

I agree with a lot of things but hard disagree on the Huda Beauty powder. For a natural makeup baking makes no sense. Just put some of the powder on the back of the hand, dab the puff in, buff some powder into the hand to get excess powder off, and then gently buff it into the skin. I guess you can put it only under the eyes and nose, but if you work all day it’s more efficient to lightly set the entire face. You control how much powder you use cause you can just tap powder into the back of your hand before going in on your face.. Unless you have oily skin you really only need a little. It gives you a natural filtered effect and lasts all day, without breaking the bank. So far this is the only powder I found that ticks all these boxes.

[@abbyneff]

I've tried it in so many different ways and it makes my skin look the opposite of flawless. Looks so heavy and shows the makeup under it/ the texture of my skin AND makes my wrinkles appear in places they aren't even really there :/ I wish it worked for me! I did a few videos on my tiktok where i tested it different ways and you could really see how it doesn't work. (Personally)

[@zofiaguzak9545]

This video was great to watch, high quality, everything explained so good and also showing the products! You are so pretty and your skin is perfect so honestly both sides look good. The correct one is obvi better, but I'm not sure about cream contour. Although I like the correct side more, I feel like it's such a waste of product applying it first on your hand

[@kellye.5678]

I honestly love thick and dramatic lashes. I think it’s because I have absolutely no lashes, so if you have them I wouldn’t play them down haha. I wish I had glamorous lashes. But everyone has different preferences. You always want what you can’t have lol.

[@abbyneff]

100%! You can also try and go get a lash lift and tint! Something I’ve been wanting to do recently but haven’t found time to

[@jenny2282]

Finally a video for a fresh clean look that is just elevated. Love the dewy look on u. I always wondered ab all those video's of people " baking" i was like what does all that powder look like in person!? Lol Its great for video and photos with people trying to achieve a look. But in person all that stuff on ur face will just age u

[@abbyneff]

I agree. Thats the thing, people make it look good in video but in real life.... not so sure lol

[@bjornolson21]

Why do I like the “wrong” side better? 🙃😂

[@abbyneff]

You’re not the only one!

[@rubydoo3307]

It could be that you're used to it? Or you just prefer the vibe? It's still very pretty.

[@bjornolson21]

🤪

[@irenevamos199]

I do too. That streak on the right side looks pretty ɓad.

[@BeaLucile]

I find that doing makeup that looks good in person looks "meh" on camera & going too overboard & fake for in-person looks excellent on camera. It's very common. Same reason why people go downright clownish for stage makeup in theater. I bet the "right side" looks WAY better than the "wrong side" in person.

[@aleynataiz]

People should just wear their makeup however they want regardless of trends, because things are always changing. I like things on both sides of your face, and some of those on the good and bad side would actually look good on me like I have really pale skin so using a bright blush actually looks better for me personally, but I do think the blush looks better for your skintone and your face shape on the correct side the way it was positioned. Also I have disabilities and skin diseases so I don't use a lot of products and try to find multiple uses for products, wear makeup less often, and I have to find different ways to apply it than what any influencer or professional makeup artist probably would do.

[@abbyneff]

Thank you for the feedback! I agree with you. It's all how you want to interpret the art but I wanted to help because I generally see people doing it in ways that simply doesn't last or look its best in person. I have so many tips and tricks I've learned from the professionals that I wanted to share! The title is incorrect but it's the idea of "clickbait."

[@abbyneff]

@@pamelakud aw thank you for saying that 🥹 of course!

[@Doinita.]

I agree with the less is more with the powder and concealer but for eyelashes I prefer the wrong side, looks better with my face shape (long and narrow). Also glowy/dewy does not look good with my skin tone while soft matte looks great and air brushed. The skin care step it's important but for day make up I just use the SPF as primer for this step as it's hydrating enough and packed with skin care ingredients (vitamin C, vitamin E etc). I'm 41 so I find that a light BB cream looks way better and youthful than high coverage foundation that exaggerate all the fine lines. Your skin is flawless, you could totally skip the foundation😊

[@abbyneff]

Every face shape is different. I agree with you!

[@ashleighmackenzie8670]

Did anyone see any difference she was talking about with the skin and under eye pwder/concealer etc?? So hard to see if there’s an actual difference there or not as both sides mainly look exactly the same

[@abbyneff]

Its hard to see. I totally agree. The thing is, its hard to tell while you're filming it unless you go WAY overboard on making the bad look horrible. That wasn't the point to over dramatize it because I wanted it to feel real. Like real mistakes vs over the top.

Your skin is seriously amazing. I, too, prefer products that lean toward dewy, hydrating, and glowy. I’d rather add light powder with a puff to tone down any shine than to have my skin be matte from the start, which is so drying on me. I love your contour and blush placement. It has taken me way too long to learn that the key to blush, bronzer, highlighter, and/or contour looking good - rather than a streaky, muddy mess - is using the right brushes and technique. I’m still breaking old bad habits in this area. For my face, the worst makeup trends are over lined lips, obvious stripes on my nose in a failed effort to look “snatched,” false lashes that are too big, full, and/or long, stark white eyeliner in my waterline (a light application of a muted peach looks much better on me), and having my brows too dark and laminated. I’m noticing that more people are wearing less obvious foundation in a shade that’s close to their skin tone. Even if I do something dramatic with makeup, I want my skin to look like skin. If full coverage matte foundation is ever all the rage and dewy is out of style, I’m not giving it up.

[@abbyneff]

I couldn't agree with you more!!! Can't stand matte makeup, love to set it and let the skin still show through. When its a no makeup look, its so important that it matches your actual skin tone! I like the makeup trends as is. Not looking forward to them leaving lol
