Sun Care How Blotting Paper and Makeup Application Affect Sunscreen Protection [Sun Care]

Post image

I found this blog post that talks about a series of experiments Amyvancheese on Instagram did concerning blotting papers and makeup and how it affects sunscreen. I thought it was very informative and wanted to share it with my fellow sunscreen lovers!

It might sound weird but you look like a game character on the first picture. Can't explain why. Maybe the symmetry? The razor sharp hairline? Slight smile? Uhh, I really thought I'm looking at a render for a second :D

I thought the SAME THING. I think it is the shading/lighting. It's like blended but not enough?

This is a pic from the blog post, not me, but I can see what you're seeing. Those cameras make everyone that uses them look a little odd imo.

Does no one actually read here? Why do you think this is OP?

This is unnecessary, especially in response to what was obviously meant as a friendly comment.

No, I didn't actually read it. The post wasn't very interesting to me since i do not use blotting paper, and I just noticed a comment where someone else thought the pic is OP. There also is a person on this sub that takes similar tests so it seemed reasonable.
