Why Your Makeup Never Looks
Right
If you’ve ever followed a tutorial, bought the same product, or copied someone’s routine — and still felt like your makeup looked “off” — you’re not doing anything wrong.
Makeup doesn’t fail because of skill. It fails because most advice ignores real faces, real coloring, and real life.
The Real Reasons
1. Faces ≠ Bodies ≠ Lighting
2. Products Look Different on Different Coloring
3. Most Tutorials Skip Decision-Making
During lessons, many clients are shocked by how intense it feels to look at themselves up close in a handheld mirror. But that’s not how people see you — at all. No one is standing two inches from your face, analyzing your makeup or your face.
When you step back, look in a mirror from across the room, or take a quick video or photo, things soften. Features balance out. The look and your face suddenly makes sense.
Up-close inspection can distort your perception — and make you far harder on yourself than you need to be.
4. You’re Seeing Yourself Far Closer Than Anyone Else Ever Will
A Gentle Reframe
The goal is to understand why things work — so you can make them work for you.
- In my Signature Makeup Lesson, we focus on one look and make it finally make sense.
- In the Beauty Breakthrough, we slow everything down — color, technique, and adjustments — so it actually sticks.

I have made a personal commitment to use #donoharmbeauty to effect change in the world.
All of the makeup I use is cruelty-free. Always.
Not only do I meticulously research and choose furry-friend friendly products for your beauty experience, but I also give back a portion of my profits to an animal charity that protects animals from cruelty, exploitation, and other abuses. I choose to do this for all the living creatures who don't get a choice.

I love animals, and I think it’s an atrocity that 500,000 animals are harmed and killed each year for the sake of cosmetics testing. This does not have to happen.
That’s why all of the makeup I use is cruelty-free. Always.
