Client told me my lip liner was too harsh - saved my whole look

I had this client last Tuesday who straight up said my lip liner looked like I drew it with a sharpie. I was kinda offended at first, but she showed me how to soften the edges with a tiny brush and some setting powder before filling in. Now I blend the outer line first instead of coloring inside the lips right away. Has anyone else gotten feedback that completely changed a technique you thought was solid?

It's funny how hard it is to hear stuff like that, but she had a point. The tiny brush trick works way better than trying to fix it after everything's already dry. Sometimes people just see things we miss from working on our own faces too long.

Changed my tune completely on that one after trying it myself.
