How I Found My Makeup Identity

Discovering a personal makeup style isn’t instant—it’s built through structure, observation, and habit. For me, it started with analysis: understanding my features, from a longer midface and puffy lids to a broader nose and full lips. Knowing what to enhance and what to balance changed everything. Then came targeted study. I sought out faces that echoed my own—artists like Yoonjin Xu and creators like @minhngoc offered valuable visual references. Their looks weren’t templates, but starting points. Practice was the third pillar. I documented what worked—how fluffy lashes helped offset narrow brow-to-eye space, or how gloss smoothed over lip texture. Finally, I reviewed every look. No skipped steps. Just honest feedback and small corrections. I even chose to skip detailed nose contour, embracing proportions instead of forcing them. The process wasn’t quick—but it made the face in the mirror feel genuinely mine. #beauty #makeup #personalstyle
