I know I'm not the only person who completely fails at doing certain beauty tasks. I mean I can apply my lipstick well-ish, I can pick a lengthening mascara and I am better at painting my nails. However there are many things that I am rubbish at and today I thought I'd share some of them with you.
Tanning
Tanning is something I really haven't mastered, I mean when I use gradual tan like the Cocoa Brown Gradual Tan or gentle bronze (review is here.), I am not too bad. However when I apply spray tan or mousse that gives you an almost instant colouring, I am awful. I end up with streaks, I end up being darker in some places and it tends to go blotchy. I end up getting frustrated with myself and give up and this is why I cannot do fake tanning.
Foundation
Now I know you are all sat here thinking, what? How can she be bad at foundation but for the simple reason I can never get it to blend well into my skin and it looks cakey and I just hate foundation. I can't tell you the last time I wore foundation. I have picked up the lightest shades possible in some of the drugstore foundations and they look orange when applied, absolute nightmare.
Shaping My Eyebrows
Is this even a thing? Basically my eyebrows have no shape to them whatsoever and maybe I should consider going to a salon and getting them done but when I pluck my eyebrows I just can't seem to get any shape to them. They just look flat and sluggish.
Contouring
Although I try to "contour" I don't think I'd convince many people that I've done it right. I naturally have quite good cheekbones but sometimes it's nice just to emphasis them a little more but oh no, I can't do that. I never know what look to go for when "contouring" and all it looks like is that I've got the wrong shade of powder near my cheekbones.
I really suck at applying false eyelashes! Luckily, I don't really need them but would like to try them a bit. It's taken me a while but I'm actually improving at contouring now :)
Hahah I relate to this soo much x Contouring just looks so cakey on me and overall just looks so bad
