Real makeup vs Photoshoot makeup

7:56 PM

This is simple portion of thoughts I have.

I've watched a huge pale of videos of many beauty bloggers who says "use this lux products and don't use this" or "apply first layer, then the second and 15 more".
Seriously?
Do you really think that a normal girl in her daily makeup routine would apply 20 layers of heavy makeup and 'a tiny drop of lip gloss for freshness'?
This is the difference between real makeup we use and the professional makeup for photoshoots and videos.
You don't need a makeup 5 mm thick to look beautiful. In my opinion you don't even need makeup for that. If you have skin problems you shouldn't become a plasterer with a big amount of foundation on your face. At first you should cure problems and take care of your skin.

When professional makeup artist creates makeup for photoshoots he needs the model skin to look smooth and even without photoshop or with a small amount of photoshop which means there is a very thick layer of makeup on models face. Don't believe all those glamorous photos in magazines cause they were retouched anyway.

Also if you don't know it, the camera 'eats' colors of your face. For example if you have thick uneven layer of black eyeliner pencil on your eyes, on video or on photo it will look normal, especially if the face is quite far from the camera (50cm or a bit more). Sometimes I see girls on youtube who has big amount of makeup on faces and I'm trying to understand - if this thing looks so bright and heavy on camera how should it look in real life?!

Please don't obey what you see and hear in videos blindly, all the things for camera will look too ridiculous in real life.

Have a good day or night and thanks for reading!
