4 Demure Makeup and Nail Looks

Fall is here, and I want to continue the whole demure conversation. By now, we all know that a green cut crease is not very demure, but I’m here to reveal the other beauty looks that don’t have the demure seal of approval (and which ones do). I’m politely passing on 2016-esque, ultra-precise contour. A more mindful alt is a touch of soft, sunkissed bronzer and light strobing—it adds depth and light to the face without being too intense. Also, I’m not into the excessively long (like, over three-inch-long) manis I’ve seen recently. To each their own, of course, but I think a natural-looking mani is more flattering and functional. Want to hear my other hot takes? Keep scrolling to read the four makeup and nail looks I’m politely passing on this fall, and see the looks I’ll be creating using Walmart’s affordable range of beauty products instead.
