It took me years to realize that I can’t wear as much makeup as the GRWM girlies. As someone with tiny eyes, thin lips, and dry skin that dulls under any pigment, I have to do ample skin prep, use hydrating makeup, and a light hand with foundation, blush, and bronzer. If you have more natural oils in your skin — first of all, jealous — you might not worry about how drying your makeup is, but I’ve learned to be vigilant about it. If I’m not careful, I’ll end up with what makeup artist Kevin Kodra calls “the three C-words: cracking, creasing, and caking.”
