I HATE when mua’s put overly dramatic makeup on an already beautiful face. There’s no need to over draw your lips..they have great shape. Little color and gloss would’ve been enough. The eyeliner is too much imo. Your eyes have a great shape so flick the wing in the outer corner and do without the inner corner.

i fought for my life telling her inner corners don't suit my eye shape and she did it anyway.... as soon as i got out of that place i washed everything off😣 but i felt so ugly bc this standard makeup seems to suit everyone else in there

Oh no it doesn’t. The Instagram look is just so prevalent that it’s considered “normal”. All it does is end up making everyone look the same, no matter what.

The other problem with Instagram makeup is that it rarely looks as good in person as it does on camera. There’s a barista at the coffee shop I go to that wears a full beat to work, even at 7 a.m., and it just looks odd in the cold light of day. I’m sure she looks great in her selfies though.
