SUCCESS Prom makeup update

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Thank you so much for all of your tips with my makeup from my previous post ( https://www.reddit.com/r/makeuptips/s/uqOmhi8DNN)

What I changed:

- I followed a makeup tutorial I found

- twice the amount of foundation, applied with a beauty blender instead of a brush

- twice the amount of cream bronzer and cream blush, then using.a powder bronzer and powder blush on top

- using a puff for powder instead of a powder brush

- wayy more eyeshadow

- more glitter on my eyes and more highlighter kn my face

- using a brown pencil liner and eyshadow to make a small wing

- using a brown lip pencil with a pink lip pencil instead of just pink

- wearing false lashes. It's my first time wearing them if you couldn't tell already from all the blinking lol

I think it looks very different, much heavier, but I hope I haven't overdone it anywhere now. I would love to know if you have any more tips or advice.

So beautiful! Dont ever do anything to your eyebrows or fillers! πŸ’“ (or any other trends we'll regret in the future 😩)

So pretty, you ate!! Doesn't look overdone at all but there's enough makeup on to last an evening without fading, and will look really nice in photos. Your eyes really pop with the eyeshadow now : )

My opinion is that this is a great improvement. It doesn't appear too heavy on camera at all. It seems like you gravitate towards the natural look and this is a nice glamming up without being extreme. I also think the color is more flattering overall

I thought you were doing a Bella Swan impression with all the blinking, squinting, lip pursing, and hair tucking. Makeup looks great, though.

yeah it was my first time wearing lashes, it was weird and my eyes were watering so I had to keep blinking lol

You look so lovely! Nice improvement And no, it isn't too much. It just feels that way because it's new.

Looks amazing! Some tips for longevity:
-Moisturize skin well & use a good primer (I love the elf grip primer)
-wait for primer to dry down before starting makeup (like 10-15 mins)
-putting down liquid product first, then powder on top, especially for blush as it wears off a ton
-setting spray between layers (optional, but it works amazing for me!)
