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.

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

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

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.

too real 😭

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

I could never keep focus on doing a tutorial 😭.
