Hi hi hiii, so, I’m fucking tired of spending way too much money on makeup only for it to look like shit, so I was wondering what advice people might have on here before I go ask at a Sephora and buy something I won’t use.
I’m tan+olive toned (white Mediterranean??) and spent a majority of my makeup life thinking I’d look like shit with blush, cause I thought I ‘couldn’t naturally flush’. I can, it’s just only happened about two times in my life, but my dumbass legitimately thought I couldn’t blush cause of my ‘complexion’ until about a year ago.
anyways, I don’t flush as usually that people with pale complexions do, buttttt…in the summer months, I look great with a fresh sunburn, it just balances the middle of my face and contours my nose really good, but what blush could I buy in the winter to replicate that sort of look?
I had bought some liquid blush drops to try a few months back, but I’m not gonna lie, they kind of look like shit. they blend in way too easily, making me look like I’m just generally pink all over my face. I want something that looks natural, but also doesn’t blend so much so that it’s unable to contour and contrast to the other parts of my face if that makes sense.
I want a clean, natural look, but I don’t know if powdered products would make me look cakey. Can blush even look cakey? I don’t know, I’ve barely used blush all my life.
I have no idea where to start. any advice on products, texture/makeup types to use, or techniques for that sunburnt look would be veryyy appreciated
