Brilio.net - Many people use makeup as a way to beautify themselves and highlight their facial features. However, there are also many who choose a makeup look that makes their skin look whiter than its original color. The desire to appear brighter or "whiter" is still a standard of beauty that is held, so many people deliberately choose foundation or powder several shades lighter than their own skin.
Unfortunately, choosing makeup colors that are too bright can actually produce the opposite effect. The face looks unnatural, the makeup looks "putty", and the color difference between the face and neck becomes clear. This often makes the appearance less smooth, even looks heavy and stiff, especially if not blended well.
In addition, makeup that is too bright can also highlight skin texture, fine lines, or make the face look gray under certain lights. Instead of giving a bright impression, the end result can actually reduce the fresh and natural impression that can actually be obtained with makeup according to skin color.
Even so, there are some MUAs who have managed to make their makeup look natural even with white foundation. This was proven directly by Instagram user @precious_makeup_academy. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she showed her ability to make up a woman with brown skin with white foundation. Although it initially looked putty, who would have thought, the results of her makeup were natural and blended with her skin.

Reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @precious_makeup_academy on Thursday (5/6), the makeup transformation on this brown-skinned woman shows a dramatic yet elegant change. Before the makeup, her facial skin condition looks natural, with acne scars and uneven skin tone. Her skin looks plain without makeup, and her hair is left loose in a relaxed style.

But everything changed completely after the makeup. The makeup artist used a foundation that was lighter than her natural skin, a move that usually risks "putty". But this time, the use of foundation was done with a neat technique and balanced by the right shading and highlight, so that the end result actually looked smooth and unified. Her skin looked flawless, glowing, and brighter without the impression of a mask.

The eye area gets special attention. With smokey eyeshadow, curled eyelashes, and strong yet natural eyebrows, the eyes become the center of attention. Coupled with gray contact lenses that enhance the glamorous impression, the overall eye makeup gives a majestic touch but remains balanced with other elements on the face.
Her lips were also made up with a sweet nude-pink color gradation, blending with warm blush on blended on the cheeks. The end result shows a brighter, symmetrical, and proportional face. Highlighter on the cheekbones and nose area enhances the natural glow that makes her face look alive and dimensional.
The overall look is enhanced by a sleek hairdo and a magnificent crown, as well as a green kebaya decorated with sequin details that beautify the traditional-modern nuance. Although initially using a much whiter foundation, the final result is very harmonious and shows how her makeup technique is right, it can transform the appearance completely.
