this doesnt apply to anyone under the age of 20, so aint NOBODY reading this one 
but drunk me is in a mood tn. Cant believe i fell for the meme of mtb's supposedly just learning makeup and being able to present as htb or even sl.
thought i could do something similar, yeah not if you spent a DECADE getting RAWED by the sun with no protection fuckin dumbass. i thought i was just stupid not being able to replicate the results of these makeup tutorials, but nah the shit just wont go on my busted skin cells properly. i even enlisted the help of a retired makeup artist at the mall, who spent the better part of 10 months across two winter arcs going through application methods and product matching, colour correctors and all kinds of shit trying to help me look good. I have a whole makeup kit with 18 brushes and 3 bags worth of stuff that just collects DUST all year bro
The darkeners like contour and blush do actually work to some extent, but any lighteners (like foundation, concealer, highlights) just look chopped asf cause they never mix well with the sun damage undertones... I could try to up the coverage but then i end up running into the infamous facial luminance differential problem (
ed thread btw). So either way i end up cooked with a capital C 
Maybe if i got a chemical peel ts might work better, but i got an optimised skincare routine to look better without makeup now (even after accounting for the makeup going on smoother afterwards), and there's always dermarolling and peptide maxxing if things get too dire. If there was any benefit to learning all this makeup stuff, its that i vastly upped my immunity to getting frauded by mtb's, my eyes got very good at predicting what people look like with no makeup.
[Also, almost any potential partner will be able to tell what you did if you try to fraud your way out of MTN with makeup. So learning ts really got a low upside]
