Hi, I’m SFSugarDoll, an actual, real-life, pro makeup artist, and I have anger issues that flair up when I see stupid shit like this. So, I thought I would revise and edit for you. TL:DR - this list in the pic is TRASH, DO WHATEVER U WANT TO UR FACE BBY.
okay, gonna insert my unsolicited opinion here —>
1. “Don’t use tape around your eyes” I agree with this about 70% - The reasoning behind this is that unnecessary pulling and tugging around the eyes leads to premature wrinkles. Definitely don’t recommend for everyday use. If tape is necessary for a look, stick it on some fabric (shirt, jeans, etc) and make the adhesion less tacky- it will still stick to your skin but pull on your eyes less! A little tape can be a great tool to practice with!
2. “Expensive makeup doesn’t mean it is better” This is a half truth. It is undeniable that drugstore makeup companies have stepped up their game BIG TIME over the last few years. However, luxury brands often use higher quality ingredients, as well as more cruelty free practices (generally speaking, I KNOW there are some unethical luxury brands. Trust me 🙄)
3. “YOUTUBERS DIDNT GO TO COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL” well shit bitch, neither did I. ***You don’t need to attend cosmo school to do makeup. You CAN, but you definitely don’t have to do an entire cosmetology course just to paint faces. Makeup artistry licensing varies by state, of course.
4. “you can’t learn makeup from watching a video’ yes you mf can what the fuck??? I started watching YouTube in 2008, 12 years later I have my own business and an ever-growing client list. YouTube still inspires me to this day, I still watch a tutorial and recreate it on myself every now and then!!!!
5. “You don’t need to line your lips to wear liquid matte lipstick” you don’t NEED to do anything EVER in makeup. You CAN do whatEVER you WANT, the outcome may be different than what you wanted or expected, and that’s why we do certain things, I.e. primer before foundation, but no one, certainly not me, is here to tell you you CANNOT do something without doing something else first. It’s makeup. It’s art. It’s highly subjective and beautifully individual.
6. “Use a foundation that is your shade. I’m talking to you, white girls” first of....UMMMM? Most people TRY to use foundation that matches their skin, they’re probably just not properly educated on how that’s done. GET MATCHED AT YOUR LOCAL COSMETIC STORE\COUNTER PEOPLE. (And no, I don’t specifically mean Sephora!! I’ve had great experiences with department store counters!!) It can really be helpful. Ironically this statement is targeting white females (which yes, in the past I’ve been guilt of the Oompa Loompa face) but there is a rampant problem in the makeup industry regarding lacking adequate makeup shades for WOC. It’s disturbing, honestly. Brands need to continue to work on this, it’s extremely important!!!! More shade ranges for everyone!!!!
7. “YOU DONT NEED EXPENSIVE MAKEUP...” I agree to an extent, although as a pro artist that has gone through many trial and error processes with products on both ends of the $ spectrum, my expensive/pro products are WORTH THE INVESTMENT. I have both drugstore and lux products in my kit, but there are just some luxury products that will NEVER compare to drugstore. That’s just the tea, sis.
8. “THERE IS NO RIGHT WAY TO DO MAKEUP” quick, someone catch my eyeballs, they’re rolling so hard they popped out of the sockets! (this always goes without saying. Makeup is ART, and the beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I’m not in any place to tell you your makeup is ugly if it makes you feel good, fuck!)
9. “The right eyeshadows..depend on your eye shape/face shape” Not sure what the author means here- sure, eyebrows can make or break a face. Blending can make or break a whole look. Look at face charts to see what eyebrows might flatter your face shape the most if you aren’t sure!! Color wise though, I’m not here to tell anyone they can’t have purple eyebrows when they have orange hair, you know? To each her own.
10. “STOP WATCHING CONTOURING TUTORIALS” bitch don’t tell me what to do bitch, cash me outside hoe
11. “Everyone has their own face shape” ...no way. You don’t say....are you sure? Fuck. I thought we all just had circle faces 🙄
12. “red eyeshadow can look good” you bet your ass it can!!! So can every other color!!!! Blend baby blend!!
13. glitter is always a good idea” personally, I bleed glitter. It runs in my veins. Pro artists know when glitter is and isn’t appropriate though, haha. Yadamean? Lol.
14. “there is no such thing as day and night time makeup” GWORRRRL, have you ever SEEN day drag? Hahaha. No rules on when or what time you can do a day or night look, but it’s def a must to acknowledge that there is a difference!
15. “Heavy makeup is pretty and you look good”. !!!!!! HEAVY MAKEUP LOOKS GOOD. LIGHT/NATURAL MAKEUP LOOKS GOOD. NO MAKEUP LOOKS GOOD. ALL THE MAKEUP LOOKS GOOD. WE ARE NOT HERE TO POLICE WHO LOOKS GOOD AND WHO DOESN’T IF THEY FEELIN THEMSELVES!!!! Would I have done it on myself or a client? Maybe not. But bitch you feel good and that’s all that matters!! That’s all that ever matters! Slay bitches!!!
16. This isn’t even worth critiqueing, Jesus Christ.
****always check ur local cosmo board for laws regarding licensing in your state/country!! Can’t stress this enough!!!
