Funny, whenever I try to put on more makeup than usual (e.g., for a special occasion), I look awful. I do wear makeup every day, but only concealer, mascara, some blush and lipstick. It sounds like a lot, I guess, but it’s really nothing compared to what Elle wears. I can’t for the life of me put on foundation, bronzer, eyeliner, or eyeshadow, or “do my brows”. It’s just not a good look on me, or so I think. I also don’t think I look that different with the makeup I do wear. Meanwhile, Elle, like some other YouTubers (Allana Davison comes to mind), looks dramatically better with makeup. It completely transforms her features and makes her look more alive. The problem is she doesn’t know when to stop. She needs to hold off on the blush and on about 70% of the eye makeup she plasters on, and also go for a less shimmery lip color. Her makeup isn’t just OTT — it’s just plain clownish
