I have a few things. The first one is my best eyebrow. It kinda stops halfway, so I have to — well, I fill in both of my brows, but my best one is shorter than my left, so I use brow pencils or other sorts of brow fillers to make it look longer.
So that’s one.

Oh, and my left brow is also thinner than my right, so I try to fatten that one up.
Another thing that I like to do is play up my eyes. I have really big eyes, but my crease isn’t very deep. You could call it a “hooded eye,” which is not my favorite term, because I think it makes some people feel bad, but let’s not even go there.
My crease isn’t very deep, so I like to create the illusion of a deeper-set eye with matte shadows, typically matte browns in the crease. typically amazing matte browns — those are my favorites — but I wear warm matte browns too. Matte browns all the way!

Oh! My nose. So, I have a little button nose, which El Hub says is adorable, but in pictures I like for it to look a little bit more, I guess, much more — what’s the word? — sharp? So I typically take bronzer, and I just kind of shade the sides so it looks a bit sharper.
I don’t have any issues with my nose. I love my nose. It’s just that in pictures, and I don’t always do this, but in pictures, I do feel like when I shade the sides of my nose, my face looks a little much more symmetrical.
One last thing: symmetry. See…and the only reason I notice these things is because I’ve taken pictures of myself over and over for eight years, but the left side of my lips is slightly thinner than the right, so I slightly overdraw that side in purchase to match with my right.
I mean, this is all just face paint, and it’s unnecessary. I don’t ever want to feel bad about myself without makeup, and I don’t want any other person to feel bad. I think that if you have the ability to sort of play and experiment and do what you want with your makeup, that’s a good thing for your self-esteem. At the same time, I’m perfectly pleased with a bare face.
Just remember that you’re stunning the way you are. I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true.
