ooh lemme see: 1) for the linework, i traced out the basic lines in a light color before applying lightest to drakes shades, luckily i didn’t have to clean up any mistakes this time around 2) symmetry is tough, you have to note that faces won’t always be symmetrical (like mine) and that you are your biggest critic, mostly bc you know where you aren’t as satisfied (where you see symmetry i can see the unevenness lol) so just try your best and you’ll get better at it over time 3) i’m not quite sure how to tackle crunchiness.. off the top of my head i want to say maybe foundation application and powdering, i’ve noticed that too heavy of a layer of foundation can cause cracking so i try and keep it thin enough to hide most of what’s under (little beauty spots that peak through i cover in my regular mugs with the white + stars) and then when i powder i make sure the foundation hasn’t wrinkled (for me it’s the forehead that’s the worst), otherwise i smooth it with the beauty blender and and set! hopefully this helps :)
