When Hailey Bieber started wearing extra-glowy makeup — dubbed the “glazed doughnut” trend — she set the internet ablaze.
I like doughnuts as much as the next person, but there are more subtle ways to achieve a nice, dewy glow. Piling on shimmery products can make you look greasy after a while unless you’re hanging out in a temperature-controlled environment or have some powder at the ready.
Instead, I use mattified foundations that work well in natural light and keep more tame, buildable glow options (like highlighters) on deck.
I don’t really get the fake-freckles trend
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good freckled look. But as a professional artist — unless I’m doing costume makeup — my goal is to enhance my client’s existing features.
The only time I really dip into fake freckles is when a client needs a more full-coverage look but wants to keep their natural freckles visible.
For everyday looks, giant, chunky “freckle” placement is just not something I am going to engage in.
I don’t leave the house with wet hair
I have never said out loud that I won’t pull hair as tight to someone’s head as possible to create a tiny topknot. But every single person who has sat in my chair and requested a sleek bun has changed their mind after seeing other looser looks in the same vein.
I’m sure some hair types are absolutely suited for tight hairstyles; mine just isn’t one of them.
Slicked-back buns are uncomfortable, especially for longer wear, and I don’t want to inadvertently cause any hair loss or damage.
