What am I doing wrong with my makeup?

[jorfan3]

I tried contouring, and I just can't seem to figure it out.

Please help. I suck at doing makeup 😂😭😂

I tried some of your all's tips! I haven't bought any new make up yet, but I did-volumize my hair-apply contouring before the foundation-applied blush/color-used less eyelinerOverall, I liked the look better! Wish I could post a picture! Thanks for the tips!

You look very adorable, and I would say just change up your hairstyle maybe to more of like a midpart so your hair looks even on both sides.
Makeup:
You could use a lip tint and some lip gloss, and I would recommend the "Fussy" shade from Fenty Beauty. I just feel that your eyeliner doesn't have to be too long, and just shorten it up a little bit.
You could use some mascara or some falsies if you'd like, and if you'd want to look a little cuter, you could add a technique called "aegyosal, where you draw and faint shade on the undereye to make it look puffy. This makes your eyes look bigger.

Example of Aegyosal

I hope this helps, because this was my makeup routine since highschool lol.

[jorfan3]

Thanks so much for the tips!

I actually got an asymmetrical hair cut, so I'll probably continue parting my hair where it is 😂

The eyeliner tip to make your eyes look bigger is interesting! I might try that.

Can I buy Fenty Beauty products online? What color is it? Is it a neutral tone?

[jorfan3]

Also, I was considering eyelash extensions :)

[theDonutPlaza]

Fenty Beauty can be bought at Sephora in person and online. The fussy shade is a neutral tone, and I think it will match your shade as a natural look.

[theDonutPlaza]

That's awesome! I'm pretty sure they sell magnetic extensions now at Sephora where you don't have to go through the hassle of gluing it on every time.

[jorfan3]

Whoa! Okay! I will definitely check that out! Thank you!

[laly520]

it lack some colors

for example u need to put more blush

some natural colors to lips like a soft pink

[jorfan3]

Blush? Like pink? Okay.

I got a contouring pallet and it came with 4 colors 😅 is that enough?

[jorfan3]

Am I not using enough of the colors I have? Like applying enough?

[laly520]

yes like pink blush
no, not about applying
im talking about adding colors
colors do make huge difference

[jorfan3]

Okay. What kind of colors? I can use blush and lip color. I don't want brilliant eye shadow. I wanted my look to be more... Natural?

[laly520]

like a blush with reference 002 haze so it would look like natural one
as for lips, any soft shade of pink would do so it appears like a natural color as well
I dont think its necessary to add an eye shadow color, it would make it look less natural unless u use some nude colors that leans more towards peach/light brown shades

[jorfan3]

Okay thanks. I'll see about picking up some blush and lip color. I have some natural colored eye shadows.

[laly520]

nice
im sure u will look super cute

[hahahmm]

Dunno but I can say that women who put real effort into their hair get points for that compared to ones who don't. Even tho guys don't actually care about the details much.

[jorfan3]

I'm not really a make up person. Neither is my husband. I'm mostly doing this for more tips at work. I'm a waitress. I heard make up statistically gets women more tips 👍

[AngryCarl]

Can we talk?

Hair lacks volume

[jorfan3]

Yes! I've been working on that one for a while. My hair doesn't hold volume well. What'd you have in mind?

[AngryCarl]

Nothing, just click the link :)

[jorfan3]

Oh, thanks!

Use a Good Oil of Olay creamy face wash first and before any makeup, Moisturize. Eye cream as well. Buy a flawless foundation such as a honey color for your skin color. Cover stick (medium tone) if you have dark circles. Natural rose blush, creamy black eyeliner and buy a good mascara (black) that will say extendssss length to highlight your lovely eyes. Coral lipstick. I am assuming you are Asian so Coral is recommended.

[jorfan3]

Thanks for the tips!

@jorfan3 Welcome, gorgeous!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

You look cute and have very pretty facial features.

Here’s a makeup I made for you, which I think would look amazing on you.

You see the blush on the cheeks and a pinkish lipstick lightens up the whole look and makes you look much more energetic.

Also, use mascara to extend eyelashes.

[jorfan3]

Okay, I'll look into that! I was considering getting eyelash extensions :)

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Sure, good luck.

I am not a makeup artist, I just did it with an APP.

So, you can do the same - look up with makeup style looks the best on you and try to copy that in real life.

[jorfan3]

What app is it

[KittygosMeoWW]

Before I got better at contouring I’d put it under my foundation. Then when I got better at blending I started doing it over.

[jorfan3]

Why did you put it under?

[KittygosMeoWW]

To help blend and make it look natural

[jorfan3]

Okay

[KittygosMeoWW]

Glad to hear! It really helped me, also I shave the dead skin on my face once a week it helps with contouring.

[jorfan3]

Shave?

[KittygosMeoWW]

With an eye brow razor. It basically gets rid off the dead skin and helps with glowy skin.

[KittygosMeoWW]

It’s called dermaplanning

[jorfan3]

Okay cool, I'll look it up!

[KittygosMeoWW]

Sounds weird but has changed my skin

[jorfan3]

Huh? It has? How?

[KittygosMeoWW]

I had dark spots and dry skin, the dermaplanning helped my products really sink in.

[jorfan3]

Okay cool

[7Phoenix7]

I couldn't tell you because make up isn't my thing but I love your dimples and hair 🩷

[jorfan3]

Awe, thanks! I just got my hair cut today LOL

[7Phoenix7]

Lol Oh, wow haha. You're welcome, it looks great 👍

[jorfan3]

Thanks!

[Anonymous]

OMG! Patrick Star... you always look iconic gurl! I am like... your biggest fan☺☺☺.

[jorfan3]

Thank you lol

[ab2shifty]

Honestly makeup is so confusing 🤣

I remember i had a gay homie who used makeup, I was so confused I just decided to watch 💀

[jorfan3]

LOL you just decided to watch? Like for fun to see how it worked?

[ab2shifty]

Yeahh I was so confused I just watched to see what happens 🤣

[jorfan3]

Hahaha!

[Anonymous]

the brown part is where you should contour hope it helps!

[jorfan3]

I tried using this exact picture. I didn't do it right I guess 😂😂😂

[Opinion Owner]

Practice makes perfect. Or combine the cheek part with ‘vertical contouring’.
Also, what kind of contouring products do you use? And are you using makeup brush or sponge blender?

[jorfan3]

I just bought ELF. It was cheap. And I used a brush.

[Opinion Owner]

Try switching to liquid contour, find the right shade for you and use a blending sponge

[jorfan3]

Oh okay! Thanks!

[maj1nall]

Cmon woman cmon. You're 30 years old and you still haven't learned how to wear makeup, haa? 😂

[jorfan3]

Lol nope. I used to have really clear skin, so I didn't need it. I started taking medication, and it fucked my skin up. Now I need it!

[maj1nall]

Ah, okay 🙂

[Saamee]

[jorfan3]
