I Don’t Need “Makeup Theory.” I Need a Mirror.

I used to think I needed to “understand the structure of color” to get better at makeup. Like… do I need an art degree to draw my eyebrows? No. The truth is: makeup = technique + knowing your own face. That’s it. You don’t need to contour like a pro—you just need to know what your cheekbone looks like. And no, your bone structure is not a “mystery only makeup theory can solve.” You can literally touch it. A makeup artist who’s seen thousands of faces will always do it differently than you. That’s normal. You only need to get good at your own face. Everything else is noise. Do you follow makeup rules or your face shape? #beauty #makeup #knowyourownface
