One side has foundation… the other doesn’t. 👀🤎 Can you tell which is which?!

One of my favorite things is getting a foundation match so good that it looks like skin instead of makeup. 😍✨

Here are a few tips to help you achieve that result:

💄 The shade: I look at both the depth and undertone. A foundation can be the right darkness but still look off if the undertone doesn’t complement the skin.

🤎 The blend: Use pressing and stippling motions instead of dragging the product across the skin. This helps distribute the foundation evenly for a more seamless finish.

✨ The application: Start with a thin, even layer and build coverage where needed instead of applying too much product at once. This helps the foundation look more natural and skin-like.

And remember, the goal isn’t just to find a shade that looks right in the bottle or on a swatch. It’s finding one that works with the skin and blends seamlessly. 🤎

Now tell me… which side do you think has the foundation? LEFT or RIGHT? 😂👇🏾

Save this for your next makeup day! 💄

Creasing is typically a result of your undereye area not being fully set. If you only set the skin on top of the creases and not in the creases, the concealer will move around and you’ll see it.

Hope this was helpful 🙌🏾 like and follow for more beauty made easy 💕💄

God’s love is not something you earn, it’s something you receive. There’s nothing you can do to make God love you any more or any less. 🤍

His love leads to faith. Faith leads to grace. And grace empowers you to overcome sin in your life. 🙌🏾

You don’t need more pressure to do better. You need to understand what Christ has already done. 🕊️✨

Sincerely, your sister in Christ 🫶🏾✝️

The difference eyelashes make is crazyyy😂😭

Personally, unless I’m going for a no-makeup makeup look, I feel like lashes are ESSENTIAL for glam 🙅🏾‍♀️

But tell me… do you think lashes are mandatory for a full glam, or can the look still eat without them? 👇🏾😂 by @_yapahyah
