The "Idol Makeup" Disaster

I tried a "K-pop Stage Makeup" tutorial for my audition tape today, and it was a total disaster! lol.

In my head, I looked like a fierce idol, but without those bright stage lights, I just look like a tired panda. 🐼haha

My contouring looks like dirt, and the "shimmer" just makes me look sweaty. The Australian sun is way too honest for this!

Is it just me, or is stage makeup a scam without professional lighting? Drop your makeup fail stories

Those tutorials always look so easy, but then you finish and look like you haven't slept since 2015.

Girl, the 'sweaty' look is way too real! 😭 I once put so much glitter on my eyes for a self-tape that I looked like a disco ball. The camera couldn't even focus on my eyes! Now I only use matte shades for auditions.

Australian sun vs Stage makeup is a battle you can’t win lol. ☀️ Stage makeup is designed for 1000W lights, not natural sunlight. Try the 'Clean Girl' aesthetic for your next tape—it shows your face shape better and looks much more professional in HD!
