10 Makeup Rules I Broke... Now My Makeup Looks Better Than Ever

Some of the makeup "rules" we were all taught are quietly making our makeup look heavier, cakier, and older than it should... like priming your whole face, full-coverage foundation, setting everything with powder, the concealer triangle. As a makeup artist, these are 10 makeup rules I no longer follow, the exact problems they cause, and what I do instead for a lighter, more natural, more modern look.

What you'll learn:

・Why primer might be what's making your foundation separate

・The truth about full coverage on camera (it ages you)

・How to actually match your foundation (not on your hand)

・Why covering every "flaw" backfires

・The concealer triangle mistake + what to do instead

・Why over-powdering kills your glow

・Contour vs. bronzer (they're not the same!)

・The setting spray order almost everyone gets wrong
