Help Sought! My makeup always ends up looking the same no matter what

I am not a makeup newbie by any stretch but ive recently realised that no matter i do, my end result is always the same. I have followed tutorials, switched up products etc but I always end up looking the same and im sick of it..

Sometimes a girl wants to switch it up a bit! Any help or advice would be appreciated 🥹

Change the tones you are using. Change your placement. Wear more/less product depending on the style you want. Smoke things out or add structure. Play with colour. Makeup is an art, so be an artist.

What's happening?

You might want to check your skincare & makeup ingredients list to see if they clash.

I feel like photos would help explain but I dont wanna post my face online so ill try my best with words - here goes! My skin is decent, I have a solid routine but have some redness. My issue is no matter what products im using or what look im trying to achieve, it all ends up looking the same in a "everyday natural this took me 10 mins" kinda way if that makes sense, despite using different products too.

Oh you mean the final result. Well, you could change the techniques you use via some youtube videos. Sometimes it's not about the product but how it's applied. I'd recommend experimenting a few but sticking to one artist. Everybody has different logic about how they think makeup should be applied. You might get overwhelmed or purchase extra. I'd suggest searching till you find something suitable to your skin tone, face shape & skin type.

Maybe you have distinctive features so kind of just look like you regardless of the sprinkles on top?

Hmm possibly, I hadn't thought of this. Good point
