Makeup lighting question

Question

okay so i usually do my makeup in my hallway everyday because we have a mirror there and i don't have one in my room. the light it always on and well lit when i do it and it looks like it's perfectly blended and everything and then when i look in my bathroom mirror it doesnt! but then at other places like if im in target in the bathroom it looks perfect again? but at school it doesn't?

how can i tell if it's really blended well or not? i never know what i look like! ahha, i look different in every mirror.

is it the lighting?! or what's the problem?

please help!

Answer 1

i have the same problem! isnt it like sooo annoying?

well like wat i do is i do it in my room then i go into a differetn room a use a flashlight (different lighting obviously) and then like go over it again and make sure it looks good in all the lightings.

so like just have different flashlights or lights handy and that should work.

hope i helped a bit!

lighting is your problem! the best light to apply makeup in is natural!! see if you cant move a mirror.. i take my long one and set it in front of a window! this way the sun lite shines in and you can tell what your really doing! if that isn't an option, try to get a make up mirror that lights up! they usually have different settings of lite brightness! obviously the hall way isn't very well lit! try doing your makeup else where!

The best thing is to apply makeup in sunlight. It sounds weird but when you put on your makeup in the morning go outside if it's sunny using a mirror that is NOT lighted. Hope this helps

Answer 4

I think the problem is that your makeup does not spread very well or evenly. So try some which will change to your skin tone so it will look more natural.

Hope this helps!

Yea, unfortunately there is some lighting that is really not flattering for anyone. lol The best thing to do is apply your makeup in natural light. I put mine on by my bedroom window so I am using the natural light, it is the best way to know that your makeup is on evenly. Some brands of makeup have light diffusers in them also that are supposed to make your face look great in any light.
