Lowkey (okay highkey) my sister basically called my makeup artist a drama queen and I’m here for it. So I did this soft glam trial yesterday, wanted that pink barbie princess energy, and my sis sent her 2nd opinion after seeing the pics. She said the makeup looked dry, my skin texture was showing, and the glitter was basically a whisper. Also, she’s like, “you can do this at home?” I’m like, yes but I need a full glam squad and a budget that doesn’t include a 300-dollar eye shadow palette.
The vibe was supposed to be glowy pink, but after 2 hours, my makeup was creasing around my laugh lines and my eye bags were still basically a raccoon’s Instagram feed. My skin is combo, so my nose and chin get oily fast, but my cheeks are basically a desert. Also, I had acne on my right cheek for years and now it’s like, okay, I’m healing but still a little sensitive. The artist used Charlotte Tilbury, Nars, Mac, YSL, Patrick Ta, and Dior—so I’m like, okay, this is a full-on princess look, but my skin is like, I’m not a princess, I’m a human.
The main issues? My makeup was dry, the glitter was sparse, and my lips were basically a matte wash. I wanted glossy lips for that pink glow, but my skin’s not cooperating. Also, the highlight on my cheeks was basically a hint, and my eye bags were still haunting me. The artist tried, but maybe I needed a different approach.
So here’s the takeaway: if you want pink shimmer, go hard on the lids. Highlight your cheeks like you’re at a party (but don’t overdo it). And if your skin is combo, invest in a good primer and set your makeup like it’s a sacred ritual. Also, maybe your sister’s right—sometimes you just need to DIY it.
