Have you ever wanted to try something new? Say a DIY on making a really cool shirt or on something more complicated like a makeup look or hairstyle? You go to YouTube and find some videos as reference. Watch a couple and BOOM, you're an expert now. However, the outcome is...
And now you're a complete mess wondering where you went wrong. Here's some advice for handling the aftermath of YouTube videos!
Be sure to know exactly what you are doing.
Before you run off and get your "Martha Stewart" on, make sure you understand every step of the process. When I say understand the steps, literally make sure you are capable of doing EVERY SINGLE ONE BEFOREHAND.
Because "winging it" isn't always the best idea, unless you're Jesus. There's still another option: look for someone who is experienced, whether it be a hairstylist, MUA, or professional magician.
If you want to try it, put in the time and effort.
It's 2018 and some of the most popular YouTube tutorials are on makeup. If you've ever seen one, you know first hand that they are very misleading! It looks so easy to mimic but once you try it and look in the mirror, you see PennyWise staring back at you.
To avoid this, spend more time watching videos. Before you try your next look, watch a couple videos made by the same person or look at multiple people.
