Your Make-up Experiments and Experiences

I have bought a makeup set last summer and tried. Results were mixed.
I don't have many possibilities to experiment, so I went to two individual makeup lessons. It lasts 3-4 hours and you do a makeup together with an instructor.
I have been to two different instructors and each one gave be different tips and recommendations.
First lesson was funny, friendly, instructor was much more experienced in teaching and we finally run out of time. She was doing my makeup on half of my face and I was repeating after her on the other half. It was on a business trip, so I have kept my makeup on, changed in the car and went for dinner.
With second instructor atmosphere was cooler (initially she was addressing me as "Sir" (instead of "you", not "Ma'am")) and we run out of topics before scheduled time, even after trying some extra things like evening makeup and false eyelashes. I was doing makeup on my own on my face and she was just doing touchups if necessary. After thad we took some photos and I had to wipe it clean.
I shouldn't post my photos here, but a selfie I have made after the second lesson is jaw dropping. I barely can recognize myself.

I recommend anyone starting with makeup to go for such lesson or just have professional makeup done once, just to see what the final result could look like and what you can achieve on your own.

That is indeed very interesting, useful, helpful, and inspiring! 👍

As so far what I do lacks the general idea. I'm rather practising particular details. And the result kinda emphasizes what I would prefer to hide 😂

That should be easy from here. Just try to emphasize, what you would like to hide, and hope that it will work the other way as well. Sarcastic

Do you think I am some kind of freak to run around in makeup and male clothes? Mocking 

I looked like this, but you will not be admiring my makeup:

... just wanted to make sure ... 😉

It's the "business trip" dinner, what made me think about it. I imagined you were on a business meeting.

Ah ... OK... fair enough 😉
And ... I think I'm making progress... I buy new stuff pretty much every day (need brushes...) Video tutorials is a huge help. Now I need to engage my wife 😋

BTW, stumbled upon this cool guy with 4M subscribers: https://www.youtube.com/@WayneGoss

Unfortunately, Nikki Tutorials with almost 15M subs is not of a big help. Way too scenic/camera/Youtube/Tiktok oriented. Very far from the real life. But excellent to get new subs.

Yeah, here goes my free time 🤣

That looks promising.
