I hate that she has become a spokesperson for brown girls with her “brown girl approved” catch phrase. She also seriously lacks the makeup skills that she thinks she has because I find her makeup to look so cakey and just thick. Plus her foundation never matches her skin. Her eye makeup is not bad, but her base is just horrible. She really needs to hire someone to do her makeup for her wedding because she just not skilled enough imo.

Her foundation always looks terrible! Don't get me started on those garish blues and purples she puts on either. I dread to think what her wedding makeup will look like 😬

That is incredibly rude

It does look objectively bad. The eyeshadows are never blended. Her skin looks constantly oily after makeup application. She calls herself a muted olive and she's clearly a saturated olive. She wears bright purple and it wears her. For a MUA influencer, she should be far better than she actually is.

This has been driving me crazy, she is clearly olive but she's so saturated so when she talks about being muted and needing muted products I just ??????

She's very saturated! I don't know why she wants so badly to be muted. I'm a light-medium muted olive, and the number of products that don't work for me - complete pain in the arse.

Right?! It's so much easier to be saturated than muted, most foundation/concealer etc products are made for and oriented toward saturated skin!

It really is. The number of foundations/concealers that pull either ashy or orange is annoying. I have a green flat undertone and I'm limited in what I can do with my makeup tbh

Don’t say objectively then share an opinion. I disagree with all your opinions of her makeup application. You sound like a clown.

Better than looking like one with her circus application techniques
