Aging skin. At 61, I'm still looking pretty good. But makeup definitely becomes more challenging. I've actually been told that I'm not photogenic. As in, look great in person and not so great in photos. My natural look over the holidays was nothing but concealer around my eyes and nose and Clinique strawberry lip balm. As a make-up devotee, I was happy with the look.
It feels tough to get the complexion/ contour right on my own. I had the same experience that you mentioned recently where I thought a make up was too much but then I saw event photos and thought the artist did a great job 😂
Biggest frustration with makeup is definitely wearing just enough for photos and not too much for real life...I find that balance is pretty hard to do.
All of the above. Wanting to look like oneself IRL & for the photos being taken at an event.
Big problem for me is that I have long yet narrow eyes that disappear when I wear much makeup. I’d love to have a bit of glam look in photos yet if I don’t stick w/light neutral & just a touch of contour, tight line & mascara, my eyes disappear in photos. Being pale & needing light neutral = non-existent makeup in photos making me washed out. Oh, & hereditary dark circles. 🤦🏻♀️
I have what ballerinas say the transparent porcelain skin. And if, for example, I stand by the tree, my skin (face, hands) looks green in the photo. And the amount of blush I need to use to look normal is insane
Texture! If I wear "enough" makeup I look like a cake!!!

Biggest frustration is how and when to touch up as it fades!
