MAKEUP ON INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, AND THE REALITY

So, this article is about what we are seeing and watching all the time on Instagram and YouTube is sadly reality. I know that this might be heartbreaking for some of you, but it’s true.

Nowadays, we are kind of blind and do not really know what’s actually real and what isn’t. Society is everything to some people. For me, it’s the worst enemy you can get.

I’m a Makeup Artist and in my videos and articles, I’m doing my makeup so that I can go out with it. I do not want to look like a clown or drag queen. Maybe now you can guess the point of this article.

You know what’s really sad? That the people who want to teach us new things in a kind of a “serious” way have no chance against people who are just doing stupid things… Yes, of course, we should laugh, it’s healthy for us but there are certain limits where I think that people are losing their minds because of these stupid things, people do not want to learn new things, people do not want to read because it’s boring… that’s really sad. And these situations you can also find online when it comes to makeup.

I mean who the hell applies a ton of foundation and concealer on their face to get the “full coverage”, yes, you’re right -> Drag Queens because they want to change the whole face structure and mimic women and then they “bake” their face for hours because the makeup should stay on!

If you’re doing a daily makeup, evening makeup, nude makeup etc. (You get it) then you don’t need so much product! Less is more! Makeup Artists aren’t magicians but it’s all about creating an illusion. And if you’re seeing all these beautiful pictures it’s not always what you’re really seeing! There is a certain tool that nearly everyone uses…! Photoshop!
Of course, you can create whatever you want with makeup and it’s really useful when it comes to photo shoots, catwalks and shows/theater/musicals.

But just take it easy with how much product you’re using!
If you’re using as much makeup as you see on Instagram and YouTube, you need to have a lot of money!
