    Yeah I’ve gotten decent at it thanks to my attitude that I only want to wear it occasionally and never to hide flaws (so nothing like foundation). The biggest thing is to try to replicate styles that you like on nights you aren’t going out. Also eyeliner is hard, everyone knows it.

    Additional tip is to learn what colors/shades look good/bad on you. For example I only really look great in darker colors and tend to look best in jewel tones, this means that less bold lip shades tend to look awful on me, while I look great in really dark reds and purples.

    I regret taking so long to actually learn, I spent a few years with a more masc aesthetic than I like because I was afraid to be more feminine. Turns out I’m pretty femme, though lazy about it and with a simple style.
