Fakeup artist 

Someone (usually very gay) who actually could be described as a legitimate makeup artist and doesn’t choose to Identify as one. In most cases they are the subject and will not be bothered to paint any face but their own. Your experience will not be personalized and you will not receive any advice from a fakeup artist. Their knowledge of beauty is self-benefiting - not carelessly provided during your very rushed consultation.

The term was first coined in or around 2009 by 2x Sephora university graduate and smashbox-certified Kyle Brylin while helping* as a color consultant for the LUXURY retailer.

“I’m really bad at faces.” - Kyle Brylin

fakeumentary

A video or film that purports information using a method that people in general believe to be in a format that provides factual information.
