Can we talk about how raccoon eyes are the worst? I’m basically a human raccoon with a skincare routine that’s still in beta, and my first makeup attempt? Let’s just say my face looked like a raccoon had a midnight snack and then tried to blend in. I used generic Amazon foundation, concealer, eye shadow—basically whatever was cheapest and most confusing. Now I’m here, begging for help, because I want to look like a woman, not a raccoon. (Side note: my skin is basically a mood ring, so skincare advice is extra welcome.)
First off, skincare is the unsung hero of makeup. If your skin is dry, oily, or acne-prone, your makeup will either fight back or melt into your pores. Start with a 30-day glow-up routine: cleanse, tone, moisturize, and slap on SPF. I’m currently using a $5 cleanser from Amazon that’s basically a miracle worker, and my skin has gone from “I’m a ghost” to “I’m a glow-up.” Also, don’t skip the serum—it’s like the cheat code for flawless skin.
Now, makeup. Foundation is your base, but if you’re using a generic brand, it’s like trying to paint a mural with crayons. Look for a shade that matches your skin tone, not your hair color. I accidentally used a concealer that was two shades lighter than my skin, and it looked like I had a ghost face. Prime your face like it’s your job—primer is the secret sauce for long-lasting wear. And eye shadow? Blending is everything. Use a sponge or brush to melt the color into your lid, not just slap it on.
Key takeaway: Skincare is the foundation (pun intended), and makeup is the art. Don’t skimp on primer, and always blend like you’re in a TikTok trend.
