Effortless perfection

Do you even try, Jennifer Lawrence? How do you look so beautiful??


I envy how effortlessly beautiful she is. Regardless of how much makeup she puts on, she always looks amazing. Look at those eyes!!!

You tried...

Makeup fails are hilarious and sad at the same time. Part of me wonders if the women in these pictures were seriously confident about the mess of product they have on their face or if they just did it to be silly.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Ok. I don't know where to start.
1. WRONG shade of foundation by FAR
2. Sharpie marker box eyebrows are and never were in
3. While the winged eyeliner attempt is credible...it didn't turn out well at all
4. Is that lipstick or concealer? I've never seen such a light shade that isn't halloween makeup.

 
This looks like a mugshot to me and it appears to be that maybe she got in a fight with her makeup because this too is a hot mess.
1. The foundation application is decent
2. Leaving her lips natural is ok
3. Those eyebrows! Most people try to avoid unibrows. She went so far as to shave off her existing eyebrows and draw new ones in to look like that! She put in effort for that disproportional unibrow. Sad.
4. The eyeshadow color is not that concerning but her application is. Because her eyebrows are way too far up so is her eyeshadow.
5. The winged eyeliner fail again....*sigh*

 ...I give up. 

For all you Kim die-hards (great for brown eyes!)

While her way to fame is questionable, her makeup is flawless.

Thank you, JennisseMakeup!!

Who needs fake lashes?

Say goodbye to falsies! MakeupGeekTv is the best. 

Is digital editing stealing the show?

I'm a fan of photoshop (regardless of how big the price tag is) and it's innovation on technology. The world of advertising is such a utopia because of graphic designers and their skill with manipulating images. 

Although, I believe it's too perfect sometimes. Cosmetology has always played a huge role in advertising but isn't the use of graphic design stealing their thunder? The first thing people notice about someone else is their face and it must be flawless in order to have effective advertising. 

The whole objective is to make the audience hungry for something and they want it to seem that their product/service can satisfy you. Where is cosmetology's fit in this anymore? The woman's left image is her wearing amateurish makeup. Simply by applying techniques in photoshop, her whole presence has changed in the photo on the right simply because of the media manipulation. Does this mean that companies will start hiring amateur makeup artists because it's cheaper to do so and then photoshop the imperfections?   

Doll face

I'm sure everyone who keeps up with mainstream media has heard the controversy surrounding children's pageantry. Is it acceptable to slather makeup on children for the spotlight? Is going beyond playing dress up at home going too far? Personally, if I were a pageant judge, I would find it more admirable if a child wore no makeup. I believe it would preserve their innocent nature. Honestly, seeing a child with more makeup on than I do scares me.

This girl is not even in double digits and she looks like she's 16 in the face. Am I the only one who is disturbed by this?

What is with all of this heavy eyeliner?

    Whoever did this Victoria's Secret model's makeup must have been going for a gothic raccoon look and certainly achieved it! Typically the mistake of using too much eyeliner/dark eyeshadow is usually the fault of 13 year-old girls who are experimenting with makeup for the first time.

    Why is this a trend in high fashion? The purposes of proper eyeliner/eyeshadow application is to enhance the eyes or change the eye shape. This overbearing mess shrinks her eyes ridiculously and makes her eyes appear only as slits. I cannot see her lashes, her waterline, or hardly the color of her eyes. Fail!
