Makeup Do’s and Don’ts: The Real Rule is to Do What’s Right for You
In a world where trends change faster than a TikTok scroll, it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with the latest looks — whether it’s glass skin, overlined lips, or ultra-sculpted contour. But here’s the truth: makeup isn’t about following rules. It’s about finding what makes you feel confident, radiant, and authentically yourself.
At Runway Room, we believe beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal. It’s expressive. And it’s meant to enhance, not hide, who you are.
Let’s break down a few makeup “do’s and don’ts” — with a refreshing twist ✨
✅ DO: Enhance, Don’t Mask
Your skin tells a story — and makeup should celebrate that, not cover it up.
Look for foundations and bases that enhance your natural texture rather than smothering it. Our Face Base Foundation, for instance, was created to give a creamy, skin-like finish that lets your complexion shine through while evening tone and adding a soft glow.
❌ DON’T: Pile on product to chase a “flawless” look. Perfection is overrated — radiance is real.
✅ DO: Find Your Signature Glow
Not every glow is created equal. Some love a dewy finish, others prefer a satin or matte look. What matters is how it makes you feel. Experiment with textures until you find your version of a glow-up.
❌ DON’T: Assume trends like “glass skin” or “matte only” are universal. They might look great online but can feel uncomfortable or unrealistic in everyday life — especially under Aussie heat!
✅ DO: Play with Colour
Makeup is meant to be fun — it’s paint for your personality. Try that coral blush, mix lip shades, or sweep on shimmer just because you feel like it.
❌ DON’T: Limit yourself to what’s “in” this season. Warm tones, cool tones, neutrals — if it lights you up when you look in the mirror, it’s the right choice.
✅ DO: Trust Your Own Face
The best makeup artists know: no two faces are the same. What flatters one person may not suit another, and that’s the beauty of it. Learn your features — your undertones, eye shape, and unique bone structure — and build your routine around you.
❌ DON’T: Feel like you need to contour like a celebrity or follow viral hacks. Trends fade. Confidence doesn’t.
✅ DO: Choose Products that Care for Your Skin
Makeup and skincare should work hand in hand. Choose products that feel good and do good — formulas that are kind to your skin, free from harsh chemicals, and enriched with nourishing ingredients.
❌ DON’T: Sacrifice skin health for a quick-fix finish. Makeup should enhance your skin’s natural vitality, not fight against it.
🤎 The Bottom Line:
There are no hard rules in beauty. The only real “do” is to do what feels right for you. Because when you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin, that’s when your beauty truly shines through.
At Runway Room, we celebrate individuality — with products designed to let your natural beauty lead the way.
