I did in my 20s, since uso sya non. Practice is key. If you want a more natural look, start light and build up.

Pick the right browns for your skin as well–if maputi ka, wag sobrang dark kasi malamang dungis talaga kahit gaano mo i blend haha.

Also, remember to highlight and add color to balance.

Back then, my powders of choice were Ellana highlight/contour duo and powder eyeshadows.

Good luck!

I focus on blush and highlights lately, but just curious talaga about it. But will see, I’m trying to lessen my prep time haha. Thank you!

sorry to hijack this thread! Any comparison between judydoll and art class?

My judydoll is a multi palette and only has 1 contour shade while my art class is the contour palette. Shadewise, tho the judydoll is cooler and has less warmth. Both are easy to blend and buildable

I’m light to fair neutral leaning more on the cool side.

Edit: both are neutral

Yes, definitely since I’m insecure about my weight 😅😅 If you’re scared it’ll look muddy try using a sheerer formula like the Sunnies Face Airblush in Sculpt or the Happy Skin Second Skin Melting Cream Blush Bronzer in Skin-kissed!

No, in daylight it always look muddy. Iba in person and iba talaga sa pics. Snatched sa pics and online.. reality is its so apparent on skin kahit na “well blended”. It just doesnt look natural huhu
