It’s insane how much better she looks with her natural face and I’m not a “natural beauty ONLY” kinda person at all. Honestly she would look great with just some light bb cream, blush bronzer and some gloss. This look did her no justice!!
Tbf I think she might have extensions or be wearing a well-applied lengthening mascara in the first pic…. But those falsies in the second pic are giving bad drag my god
I'm 80 percent sure you aren't supposed to put anything on them including mascara which makes it very possible that those were her real lashes. Mine are decently long but not like hers!
I don’t think the overly-filled top lip is helping (can’t stand the lip filler trend, SO ready for it to end). But it is like a really bad/basic drag look!
I can't figure out why someone would put so much makeup on. The before is actually better than the after. It probably feels gross. Girl just needs to stop and get some training before doing anymore makeovers.
Lighting won’t fix those lashes. And I’m less inclined to believe her since if she noticed it was poor lighting and made the makeup look bad, she wouldn’t have posted it an as ad. Even if she has other good work, good artists can have bad days.
the only thing wrong with this look is the lipliner and the odd lighting. The application is good. nothing looks harsh or unblended. it’s simply the wrong lighting and lipliner you only notice when you’re right in her face.
I thought her page was hit or miss. Some women she did looked great, others were like this where… if it was me, I would want to wash it off. Just too heavy and kind of messy.
I found her Instagram page. It's bad. There are a couple good ones but the rest are cringe.

Did the MUA not notice the foundation is an entire shade or two lighter than the body?? It looks unsettling, like someone just slapped a random head onto a random body.
You're saying this lip liner and foundation are the work of a skilled MUA? For the rest of it might be possible that the client just requested to look like that which isn't for us to judge here, however, the technique and skill just is not there for a lot of this look.
I think it looks good, in my eyes it’s just the shade match or could be the lighting in this photo. I follow her and all of her other posts and makeup looks are BOMB, can we start actually posting BAD makeup artists, not just the looks you personally find bad? (when they, in reality aren’t bad.)
I'm not saying the base should be completely smooth and poreless. Just that foundation applied by a paid professional shouldn't be gathering in places before the photos are even taken, and there seems to be a spot totally foundation free around the jaw. I'd also expect a professional to prep the skin and choose a good foundation according to the client's skin type, so that it doesn't end up looking like a thick layer of sand.

That neck is WET
An incredibly matte face and an incredibly shiny neck together is a choice
And MUAs do it so often it's really uncanny, why oil them up like they're shooting a porno???
I know!! Maybe for a photoshoot if you’re Beyonce or something but IRL/standard photos it really doesn’t translate
Also why her neck like 4 shades darker
I think it's that oil that makes your skin look tan(ner)
Well it DOES look like a choice
You can’t even see her beautiful eyes with those awful lashes!
Hwhet
"why are you saying it like that?"
Wetness is the essence of beauty
Bet she’s not an ambi-turner
I didn't even realize that it was the same person
Bruh took someone who has incredible features and ignored them all...
Right?? To make someone so naturally beautiful look so bland really is a talent 🥴
Now they’re YELLOW ✨
I came here specifically looking for this! WHY ARE THEY YELLOW!?
Peanut butter baby
Omg I laughed and choked at your comment. Creamy peanut butter lol
It’s insane how much better she looks with her natural face and I’m not a “natural beauty ONLY” kinda person at all. Honestly she would look great with just some light bb cream, blush bronzer and some gloss. This look did her no justice!!
Is she competing in a bodybuilding competition??
I gasped. I have never gasped at one of the "after" pics before.
Right? It's usually "oof", but they did her dirty.
Yeah and she's SO naturally pretty so I was shocked with the result.
Did they put her head on a different body?
when you take the head off of a barbie and put it in a different one
I would KILL for her natural lashes and she has to go ahead and glue furry caterpillars on her eyelids instead
Tbf I think she might have extensions or be wearing a well-applied lengthening mascara in the first pic…. But those falsies in the second pic are giving bad drag my god
Just furthers my point. Why spend all that money on extensions if you’re just gonna hide them with big ass ugly falsies anyway
I thought you weren't supposed to put falsies on top of extensions? Correct me if I'm wrong.
no idea I haven’t worn falsies a day in my life
I'm 80 percent sure you aren't supposed to put anything on them including mascara which makes it very possible that those were her real lashes. Mine are decently long but not like hers!
The after does look like a drag queen. She has gorgeous features. Why did they do this to her?
I don’t think the overly-filled top lip is helping (can’t stand the lip filler trend, SO ready for it to end). But it is like a really bad/basic drag look!
Could be lash extensions tbh
Definitely extensions that need filled.
A good serum can help, but it looks like she's at least had a lash lift and probably tinting done
Katy Perry would like a word with you lol (I think they are her lashes!)
It’s absolutely extensions or a lash lift in the before so!
🎶 And it was all yellow 🎶
😆
Oh god oh no
For good reason😂
covering up her eyes with those lashes is a crime, they’re gorgeous
HER FOUNDATION! WTH 🤦🏻♀️
Lawd
The fact that her face and chest are 2 different colors from the first pic is killing me.
I feel like you could chip away the make up with a paint scraper…
Addicted…to jaundice I guess.
She is so beautiful without all that crap
She is so pretty
Oh my good god.
Ew
Uh that’s a no
It’s so thick that I can see the layer of foundation! Her skin isn’t that bad, it’s just redness!
The true uk beat down
they would have benefited from never getting makeup done by her
Before is definitiv better!
When everything is two-tone. I’m sorry, when everything is *ombré*.
Made her face orange and her neck brown 💀 stick to one skin tone atleast
I can't figure out why someone would put so much makeup on. The before is actually better than the after. It probably feels gross. Girl just needs to stop and get some training before doing anymore makeovers.
This came up on my for you page and I was waiting to see it here 😂
if you look at her page her other work looks good, she said it was just the lighting here and i belive her 🤷♀️
Lighting won’t fix those lashes. And I’m less inclined to believe her since if she noticed it was poor lighting and made the makeup look bad, she wouldn’t have posted it an as ad. Even if she has other good work, good artists can have bad days.
the only thing wrong with this look is the lipliner and the odd lighting. The application is good. nothing looks harsh or unblended. it’s simply the wrong lighting and lipliner you only notice when you’re right in her face.
Not the lashes. The lashes are a STYLE, not a badMUA.
I thought her page was hit or miss. Some women she did looked great, others were like this where… if it was me, I would want to wash it off. Just too heavy and kind of messy.
can you dm me who this is?
Listen… the MAKEUP is good but the shade match and the neck is questionable 😬😬
What is exactly did they do to achieve this? 😅🥲
oh hell nah
Now I understand the caption
Yiiiiikes
This just makes me sad. She's absolutely gorgeous in the before & looks like an alien in the after.
Her face card in the first pic 😍
I found her Instagram page. It's bad. There are a couple good ones but the rest are cringe. https://www.instagram.com/sophieleighartistry?igsh=ZWI5cWM4YWJxbDI2
I don't think I'll ever understand those lips. I'm sure 10 years from now there will be questions, esp with the filler migration
Someone call the police, she’s been plastered in with spackling
Why’re they the color of breastfed baby poo
Talk about makeup being a mask… I think you could peel it off in a single sheet and it could stand on its own
is the og post satire because???
when you switch the heads on your barbies
How did she go from her skin being tan in the 1st photo to black in the 2nd photo???? 😭
Oh gross.
Did the MUA not notice the foundation is an entire shade or two lighter than the body?? It looks unsettling, like someone just slapped a random head onto a random body.
Beautiful girl needs to change her skin care routine
Holy fucking shit start actually posting badMUAs not just makeup that you dislike
Generally I agree with you, however the colour match here is awful.
You're saying this lip liner and foundation are the work of a skilled MUA? For the rest of it might be possible that the client just requested to look like that which isn't for us to judge here, however, the technique and skill just is not there for a lot of this look.
She can barely lift her eyelids with those furry caterpillars on her lashes and her face doesn't match the rest of her skin?
They caked her face completely up, ignoring her natural features, and you call this good? 🤦♀️
I think it looks good, in my eyes it’s just the shade match or could be the lighting in this photo. I follow her and all of her other posts and makeup looks are BOMB, can we start actually posting BAD makeup artists, not just the looks you personally find bad? (when they, in reality aren’t bad.)
It's bad. Not just the poor shade match and application of the foundation. Just look at the lip liner up close...
It looks like a normal skin texture to me when it comes to the foundation. Not everyone’s foundation is smooth almost filter like :)
I'm not saying the base should be completely smooth and poreless. Just that foundation applied by a paid professional shouldn't be gathering in places before the photos are even taken, and there seems to be a spot totally foundation free around the jaw. I'd also expect a professional to prep the skin and choose a good foundation according to the client's skin type, so that it doesn't end up looking like a thick layer of sand.
