>>170552I used their cotton fit and the mineral fit years ago. The mineral fit doesn't do the patchy/cakey shit that cotton fit does, but the lightest shade of it is still too dark for me. Cotton fit gets patchy and transfers and it seemed like using a primer actually worsened that.
Some good brands are Tony Moly, Holika Holika, Mizon, Lioele, and Skin79.

>>170553Doubleposting, but there are also some decent Japanese bb creams on the market. Bison Baby Pink BB Cream is super popular, but its only really useful if you don't have acne to cover and are looking for that flushed complexion. Its translucent. Canmake's bb creams are in the same vein; Good for if you already have near perfect, blemish free skin to work with.
https://jw-webmagazine.com/japanese-bb-creams/A Korean brand that I forgot to mention was picrel. I got it in #02 for the shade and while its still a bit too dark, mixing it with shade lightening drops from The Body Shop helped. Its actually pretty heavy feeling on my skin though, so I don't use it often.
Have you looked into bb cushions? I've only tried one by Sulwhasoo.

does anyone else use lip plumper, or lip products with a plumping element? i like to combine it with like a lip stain or something light under, or gloss it over a lip butter for a natural look. my lips are full but i have a weirdly small mouth and i find that my facial proportions are instantly like ten times better when i get them to be a tiny bit bigger
pic related, i've been using buxom in "big O" and it's the best lip product i've ever had, it plumps/ moisturizes/ has a custom color-changing element that is a really nice peach-pink on me. i'm obsessed, they should hire me for promo at this point

another really great one that I love are the revlon colorburst lip butters, I think they must be discontinued because I literally had to hunt them down on random websites to stock up on them over the years. 'candy apple' red and the coral orange one are my fav shades. I also really love glossier cherry balm dot calm, I only bought one tube and it's lasted me years now. also etude house color lip balms, and if you have a sephora where you live they have a similar slightly colored/ scented balm line, I have pic related in goji berry and it smells SO good. I'm basically just a sucker for light effective coverage that's moisturizing and doesn't take a ton of effort/ won't fuck my entire look up if it fades off like a harsh lipstick or liquid lipstick (i've tried to get into these SO many times and can't bring myself to like them, the only one that was semi okay was OCC cosmetics) the only lipstick I like are the moisturizing ones by Estee Lauder
speaking of, what lip stains do you guys like? I used to use lip markers all the time just for an under layer of color and top it off with a balm or butter, but I kinda want to look into trying a new one

>>172861I got both blotted lips from Sailor Moon, and for some reason, they just aren't as good quality as the ones from their main collection. I found that the Sailor Moon ones had a weird, patchy application compared to the normal formula. Doozy from their main collection is more red than pink but I find it very similar to the Sailor Moon ones and I like it a lot, it's one of my go-top lip products.
I would skip the Animal Crossing eyeshadow quads. They're not worth the price. They have a warm pink/purple 4-shade palette called Amor for cheaper, but also for 2$ more you can get one of their 9-shade palettes like Lilac You A Lot, which will give you much more utility in my opinion.

No. 177479
>>177296Have you tried using BB cream instead? There are some moisturizing kinds, works amazing for me, used to have similar issue in the past.
Something that also helped, even with regular foundation, is moisturizing the skin before applying foundation, locking the moisture with a little bit of oil / squalane. Usually that means you'll have to wait like 20minutes before proceeding to applying foundation, but if you have time, may be worth it. Another thing is the way you apply it, I can see a difference in the way my skin behaves with it depending whether I've used sponge or a brush (sponge + gently pressing technique is much better than smearing with a brush)

>>177296Some products aren't compatible with each other, for example using a silicone primer underneath a water-based foundation will cause the products to "pill" (flake off and sit on top of the skin). Oils and oil-based moisturizers can break up foundation in a way that makes it slide around the skin and look patchy, mattifying products tend to have this effect too.
If you're looking for your-skin-but-better coverage I recommend the Skin Perfecting Tint by Glossier, it's my favourite. I know some people think its bogus because it's extremely light coverage but to me it makes a noticeable difference and the texture was incredible. Personally prefer it to any of the BB creams I've tried. They make a concealer and tinted finishing powder too that some people really like.

I've had a hard time finding makeup advice for brows like mine. Is there a name for this shape, where the top part grows down and the bottom part grows up and the inner edge of the brow is a narrow point?
Usually I just wear long bangs to cover my eyebrows because looking at them makes me want to kms, I look like a fucking man. Is there any way to shape/fill these to look nice? They're pretty sparse but look thicker where the hair directions meet and overlap. I don't know much about brow makeup, I've tried filling in with dark powder before but I felt like it just added to the caveman vibe. Any advice would be appreciated.

>>181113you do not look like a man.
women's eyebrows also often don't look "feminine" without plucking.

No. 181148
>>181141I feel you anon, my natural brows look very similar to yours. My tried and true method is a combination of trimming and shaving. Trimming the hairs with scissors makes a huge difference and makes my brows look much sleeker, and shaving (mostly I just shave the top part, I hate having those awkward stray hairs at the top) gives them a defined, clean edge and it really helps to shed a lot of the weight so your brows aren't as thick.
Also, another thing that really made a difference for me was changing the tails. I used to be way too afraid that I would fuck my eyebrows up so I only did the bare minimum and never strayed too far from the way my hairs naturally grew in, but when I started experimenting and taking off a small portion of the tails I realized how much better it looked. My natural brow tails would curve pretty far down around my temple because there was just so much hair lol and I felt like it overpowered my face. I don't even remove that many hairs off the tails but I guess it comes down to personal preference on how you want to shape your brows.

Don't use powder lol. What I do is use a bar of soap and a spooly (is that the name?) to brush them a bit, pluck or shave at the ends where it's too curled or slopes too much (which can make your face look bigger at the bottom), and then fill with a pencil and finally a brow pen.

So I bought the Glossier cloud paint in Beam and it lasts like only a few hours on the skin, which is annoying at a middle price point. Do the more pigmented versions last longer? Am curious about Spark now but I also don't want to waste my money. I tried a sample of Storm and it looked way too brown and muddy on me, and I don't think it lasted much longer.

>>185910I like it because I have combo skin
with some texture weirdness and every foundation and bb cream I've tried exaggerated those issues. The tint is just enough to even out redness without flaking or looking oily in my problem areas, so basically it ends up looking just like my skin but better. I also prefer a really natural effortless look with just a bit of emphasis on my eyes but I wouldn't recommend it if you like to look more dolled up. Pretty retarded that they demo it on models with perfect skin since you can't see it doing anything.

>>185999Yes, I used it already!
It went really well for a first try, if you look really close it's not completely symmetrical, but ya kno, my lashes/eyes aren't either
shrugsYou have to clean your lashes and lid beforehand, then use the included cleanser, try to not get the silicone pads oily (with your hands etc) before using the lash glue to fix it to the lid and fixing the lashed onto the pad.**
Wait a bit before fixing the lashes, so the lash glue is half-dry, it'll stick better.**
I did a little try-out with my right eye to get a feel for how to stick the lashes onto the pad, I highly recommend you do that, too.**
The plastic-wrap on the eye during perming/fixing was a bit annoying, I actually pressed my fingers on it during doing it on the left/second eye so it got warm and more "dramatical" then my right eye/lashes - but it's nothing anyone notices.**
tl;dr: I'm very happy with my lashes, I dyed them, too. I look so much more put together when I'm not wearing makeup and when I do, my eyes look HUGE.
Highly recommend!

How the hell do I figure out where to stop plucking my monobrow? If I don't do anything to my eyebrows they'll happily go full cro-magnon, but if I try to line them up with my nostrils like so many brow shaping guides recommend then that spaces them way too far apart. Plus, I've noticed women with "strong" faces like Eva Mendez, Jessica Alba, Liv Tyler, etc seem to get their brows done so that they come in closer to the nose bridge, which should work for my caveman-tier mug but I just can't seem to get it right.
Pic related is the type of advice I see most often, but I've also seen a few guides recommend taking them to the edge of the nose-hole/nostril that might work better? idfk anons, I feel like a baboon with a pair of tweezers sometimes
No. 189143
>>189142I fill/draw mine in and pluck around that for the most part. I over plucked in high school because I had huge bushy brows and that was a big no in the ‘00s, so I have some sparseness. But anything that grows outside of that area I pluck.
I don’t know if you draw in at all but maybe buying a brow pencil and making your own template on your face could help.

What are you nonnies' favourite black powder eyeshadows? Many of the ones I've tried just aren't pigmented enough and/or have some fucked up bluish cast to them. Right now I'm trying to use up my ancient pot of Maybelline Color Tattoo in their black shade, which looks okay but is a huge pain in the ass to apply because of the tacky texture. It seems like it would work better with a powder eyeshadow layered on top, although ideally I'd want something that could be worn on its own, too.

I have a lot of scars and stretch marks I want to even out as well. If I get a self tanner in a shade that's the same color as me, will it work kind of like foundation?

>>199368>can you contour your face if you dont wear foundationSure. If you don't have an especially uneven complexion it will still be noticeable and look nice so long as you don't go overboard.

No. 199470
>>199447You can try using an app like makeup plus to virtually test different red colours as a starting point.
If your skin is truly neutral, then a pick a neutral lipstick that isn't particularly cool or warm. Another way to check your undertone is to see whether you prefer warm brown eyeshadow or taupe eyeshadow.
The type of red depends on your hair colour too - if it's dark then a dark lipstick, if it's blonde or light then go muted/lighter, if it's red or a strong dyed colour then go more saturated/bright.

>>199659It's a regional phenomenon in the UK, my area isn't obsessed with tanning at all, but the orange faces are still fairly prevalent because mainstream stores just don't cater to the average woman's skin tone, it's frustrating. Young British girls in particular tend to have hilariously bad foundation cos all they can afford to buy is the cheapest drug store foundation available. Some girls I went to school with who had skin issues began fake tanning their bodies just to get their face to match and not look ridiculous anymore, I am not joking.

>>203066You can try to look at korean makeup tutorials for natural eye-shadow looks, they usually involve using a few beige and brown shades (from one tone lighter to two tones darker than your skintone) matte for everyday and sparkly gold or rose natural tones for the evening. If you want to be ridiculouly basic just a wash of your skintone shade all over the lid can be enough. If you have an eye for interesting makeup,you can try doing the same placement you do for heavy looks with a very light hand and natural shades.
Lisa Eldridge is a must watch of course, she is a professional artist that can do extraordinary makeup from natural to very experimental and she works on various models of different ages and skintone, really gives great advice on how to do makeup that will suit your natural features. She IMO really makes all her models look absoluterly gorgeous. This is super colorful but still refined makeup for example :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjIoLBG4iKAI am not so good at foundation but I have friends that swear by her advice for natural skin makeup. Don't know about dewy specifically.
For eyebrows, if they are thick then my best advice would be to lay off the makeup for a while and follow and adapt this grooming routine, you may not even need any eyebrow makeup at all. If you do lightly coloring in any uneven part with an eyebrow pencil that suits you should be enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWCV851MnZ8 No. 203084
>>203066Use clear eyebrow gel/soap to brush your eyebrows. You could also use a tinted eyebrow mascara if you feel like you need some filling, a very natural one is Boy Brow from Glossier or Essence Make Me Brow. Make sure you groom them well.
For the dewy look you can either purchase a dewy foundation (Glossier or pretty much any korean BB cream/cushion), use a dewy setting spray (I love the nyx one) or apply sunscreen 10-15 minutes before foundation. Sunscreen always made me look dewy, if applied properly. Ditch contour and apply a faded blush, you will look a lot more natural.

>>203249I didn't have my mom to teach me since you didn't like make-up, I learned from the internet. Blogs (at the time) and youtube and my own experimentation. I'd be careful with just picking any "beginner makeup tutorial" video from youtube though, most of them will expect you already know what the basic/most common products are and do and a lot of them still cake on like 10 products. Vid I added may be useful for you. It's by a FtM troon sorry about that, but she actually goes through most of the common items with an explanation of what it does. Definitely don't think you need to use all of that though! I've been using make-up for over a decade and I'm down to a really minimalist daily routine of three products (mascara (makes your lashes dark and stand out), blush (to well, make your cheeks blush) and something to fill in my brows.
Here's also a good written resource that explains most common make-up products if you prefer text:
https://www.makeupartistessentials.com/an-introduction-to-makeup-types-of-makeup/I'd say, if you want to buy a make-up product and you have no idea where to start, go get one single product and it should be a mascara. As I said it's a product that enhances your lashes (makes them darker and thicker, some specialize in for example more curling or enhancign the length). It's subtle and hard to mess up. And probably the most basic make-up item there is, no one who wears make-up doesn't wear mascara. Don't get a waterproof one, you'll find it difficult to remove. Try and experiment with it in the comfort of your own home until you're condifent to wear it out and/or move on to another product.
No. 203275
>>203249>i didn't have a mom to teach me this stuff You overestimate how common/important having someone to 'teach' you makeup is. My mum didn't tell me a thing, I learned through trial and error, emphasis on the error. That means years of wearing disgusting orange dreamy matte mouse in high school, and wasting hundreds just to try foundation that didn't work for my skin at all. Most people don't have the luxury of being proficient at makeup from the start, the difference is you probably have more self awareness than a teenager and can tell when your makeup is the wrong colour or too heavy or whatever. And even if tutorials and guides are overwhelming, at least they're there and you have plenty of resources once you can handle the information overload.
I lost interest in makeup long ago so anons can give you better specific advice about learning but I'm just saying you shouldn't expect to be great at makeup without being shit at it first, most of us went through the same thing.
No. 203282
>>203249my mom didn't teach me either, I learned from youtube. Like the other anon said look up some beginner/everyday looks. Don't feel like you need to use every product youtubers use in their videos though, I remember for a while as a teenager I wore foundation and powder every day because all the vloggers told me to, even though I didn't need them at all. Also keep in mind most product recommendations in more recent youtube videos aren't genuine.
What the other anon said about mascara is true however depending on your features I'd recommend you also consider an eyebrow pencil and/or a lip product. I have small eyes but full lips and sparse eyebrows so learning how to do lips and brows made a much bigger difference for me than eye makeup, and I regret not realizing this sooner
No. 203288
>>203249no ones mom teaches them how to put on makeup, get a concealer, blush, mascara, a tinted lip balm, a big brush to put blush on your cheeks, a beauty blender to dab concealer under your eyes and blemishes until it melts into your skin(very intuitive) and you'll need a moisturizer as base before you put your makeup on, I use sunscreen. As you feel more comfortable you can move on to eyeshadow, eyeliner, highlighter, setting powder and bronzer since they're harder to execute but it takes like 3 minutes of watching youtube to get a hang of it. You do feel like a clown going out with makeup when you're not used to it but it gets better you have to practice every other day and it becomes automatic at some point and you become really good at it. Foundation is not necessary, I wear full face of makeup without foundation almost every day.

I'm thinking about picking up a black lip color, since much of wardrobe is goth/alternative. My lips are pretty thin, so I'm very self-conscious about bold colors looking strange on me.

I could use some tips on going for a darker, bolder color, and some product recommendations if you have any!

>>203363I have small lips as well and dark matte colours make them look even smaller. My favourite formula is Catrice demi matte lipstick, shade 080 reckless love (picrel) works well for my skintone (light with cool undertones). I do the same thing as you, spread it around with my fingers. It stains my lips a bit so the colour doesn't completely wear off. You could try using a clear gloss over matte black lipstick (or black eye pencil lol it works well enough), that might make your lips look a bit more plump. Essence glosses are nice and also really cheap.

>>203363Don't go solid black like in your pic related because a solid lipstick colour without will always make your lips appear a little smaller and flatter.
The best thing to do is a subtle gradient. For example, if you want to go black, get a jet black lip liner and a slightly sheer black lipstick. Outline as normal, add in some extra liner in the least plump parts of your lips (corners and sides mostly) with the very dark black and then apply the sheer black all over your lips. The slight difference in colour between the outline and the plumpest part of your lips give the appearance of fullness. A glossy lipstick will also add to the effect.
picrel is the effect with a purple colour

>>203406Grass is always greener I think, I absolutely love how hooded/deep set eyes look, they look mysterious and so, so pretty to me.
>>203408I definitely like darkening my waterline, it makes my eyes look alot smaller and less round, but I've found that using a lighter color on my inner corner tends to bring attention to how close set my eyes are unfortunately. I tend to do my eyeliner in a pretty standard "cat" wing, not too extremely long and usually pretty thin. I always feel 100x better about my appearance with just concealer, mascara, and eyeliner wings lol. I usually skip waterline eyeliner bc it tends to..migrate to my inner corner and looks gross if you aren't checking it constantly

My brow bone definitely sticks out more than my eyes, but I've got a shitload of eyelid space similar to protruding eyes
I think they are deep set but with..prominent features? Like

>>203665sorry anon if this is your eye, please fix your eyebrow in the first place. I don't mean to be nitpicky or mean, eyebrows like yours would make anyone look worse. Let your natural eyebrows grow or watch a tutorial and learn how to make them look a little bit thicker and natural.
The white on your lower lid is too much, use a more natural highlighter there, something less proeminent. Don't wear eyeliner and put a darker shade in your crease. Make your eyelashes thicker at the end of your eye or wear a couple of fake lashes there.
No. 203753
>>203665your eyes are so pretty
nonny! you have such a pretty eye shape.
i think you could benefit from sort of extending the area where you apply eyeshadow a bit higher up and also on the outer lower part of your eye. i'm not very well educated on eye shapes so someone correct me if i'm wrong but your eyes look a bit hooded while also having a double eyelid, so i assume that's why you're having issues with eyeshadow getting oily in your crease.
i found a few videos that may help give you some ideas of what i mean particularly about the eyeshadow location.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvTqX5p9BCkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZNZP4MndFshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skZ-nUB_b00also, i dont think the shape of your eyebrow is bad, but i do think you could benefit from extending your brows and thickening them a bit with a greyish toned eyebrow pen. i prefer eyebrow pens to pencils or pomades because they look more natural. the tolymoly 7 day eyebrow is good:
https://tonymoly.us/products/7-days-tattoo-eyebrowand so is the nyx eyebrow tint (my fav by far)

Pixie Epoxy, or even a good quality lash glue. That would put a barrier between your shadows and the glitter. But the formula of this glitter doesn't seem ideal for the eyes tbh. Way too much filler and oils, no wonder it ruins your eye shadow. It's also super chunky, it could easily scratch your cornea. That's something you really don't want to experience.

>I do not use primer on the eyeline, and put on eyeliner first before any shadow. It may seem odd, but liquid liner adherence really works best when touching clean skin. In makeup I never apply powder before liquid, and eyeliner/eyeshadow follows that rule too.
>I apply matte black eyeshadow using a tiny angled brush over my liquid liner, like I'm setting it. Not patting it, but brushing just ait small amount onto the liquid liner, following it's path. This also looks good because it diffuses the edges of the liner and makes it truly matte black. If I am applying general eyeshadow, I do that first and then come back to do this step.

>>177225Coming back to this video what do you guys make of the effective vs ineffective makeup trend? I had a realization similar to this anon where I was doing tons of shit wrong because of a combination of me following trends and false advice.
This video was extremely helpful, though its clearly targeted at Asian makeup trends like the ruler straight brows and glittery ass eyeshadow. Aside from this though the contouring, blush placement, eyeliner (specifically the lining of the entire upper and lower waterline) as well as the drawing individual lashes trick and layering of lip products are quite life changing, and look universally flattering if pulled off well.
A small tip like using a pot concealer to conceal the sides of the nose used in this video in order to shrink the nose size is incredible. The blush placement thing is also witch craft at shrinking the size of the lower half of the face.
What really sits with me about this video is people in the comment section are astounded about these tips and seem to be even mildly pissed that most western "makeup gurus" have the mentality of "do whatever you want with makeup when people want to learn a skill. The makeup community preach its a creative form of expression and an artform when in reality their are universally objective ways of doing shit, no one likes cakey foundation, no one likes runny eyeliner. Most people just want daily wearable makeup. And even in cases where people want to go over the top with makeup those objective rules still apply but with more intense colors etc. I think this speaks to a bigger issue, similar to how cooking and other things are arbitrarily deemed "artistic and creative" (including art itself) makeup is not an artform its a science. There are some caveats of personal preference but ultimately there are objective standards.

>>221507If you want to shorten your face, go for the middle of the cheek and sweep up. That placement is considered 'bad' because it brings attention to the apples of the cheek, but it actually works for long faces. Draping is also nice imo, it will give you a more angular look which can be cool sometimes. Check out Wayne Goss on youtube, he has a great video on blush placement.

>>221938Nona, I don't know how are your eyes uneven so I'm just gonna say what works for my chameleon eyes. Hope it makes sense and hope it's helpful!
If one is higher than the other, you can either apply a liiittle bit of light brown eyeshadow under the eye that's higher, to make it seem that it goes a bit lower than it does. If you like doing your eyeliner across your entire eyelid then you can make it a bit thicker on the eye that's lower so it seems a bit higher up, but don't over do it.
Also, if one eyelid sticks more than the other just apply a very light layer of a brown eyeshadow.
Aaaand, if one eye slants more than the other, apply light eyeshadow (just not white) on the lower lashline where your eye ends near your temple to make it seem like it slants a little bit.
What really helped for me was to take selfie head-on and just compare where my eyes are not matching and fix that manually, to the point where my eye looks on the left eye are super different from the right one, but only when it comes to where I apply highlights and where I strategically draw eyeliner, but the end result looks very similar and even.

>What do you use the most? I am recently loving brown eyeshadow as eyeliner+a small wing with brown liquid liner with blush and lip tint. I used to do a full face every day but I've been skipping makeup for base and eyebrows since I've been taking care of them and they've been looking better.
>Are you building your collection or prefer a minimalist approach? Do you use makeup as a tool for looking more attractive or is it more of a hobby? How does that affect your buying habits?I don't do a lot of crazy experimentation, I mostly just like the confidence boost from makeup, so I'm trying to narrow my products back down. I find that I'm okay with using the same thing every day as long as it looks good. I think a lot of people are reaching that realization as the makeup consoomerism trend kind of died and it sucks but it is what it is.
No. 223286
>How much makeup do you own?
In comparison to a regular consumer, a lot lol. 7 palettes which are a mix of premade and custom, totaling 125~ shadows. In my defense, I use shadows the most and don't have dupes across different palettes. Next biggest category is lip products, I think I have 24 or so. The rest is minimal, 3 highlights, 4 blushes, one concealer, 1 colored mascara and one black etc…
>What do you buy most of?
Eye shadows, although most of my collection are gifts from friends and family. I bought 5 singles last year, but the last palette I purchased was in 2019 or 2018.
>Are you building your collection or prefer a minimalist approach?
I'm done for a while I think. There's still a few more shades I'm missing (proper matte inidgo, olive green, sparkly pink) but I'll hold off. I don't like having too much makeup, but I also don't declutter a ton because 99% of the things I buy I use. I mostly do colorful looks so I like having one of each color in a matte formula and a metallic formula.
>Do you use makeup as a tool for looking more attractive or is it more of a hobby? How does that affect your buying habits?
Both, depends on the situation. I use fresh, light makeup to look more "presentable" in job interviews and stuff. It's sad that we have to do this to be perceived as professional. Day to day I either wear none or do bold looks. I love playing with different colors and finishes, painting graphic liner and creating a "vibe" for my outfits. And I just like sparkly stuff, I'm a sucker for anything metallic or glittery.

>What do you use the most?Brow pencil and concealer.
>Are you building your collection or prefer a minimalist approach?Definitely minimalist, I don't see a point in collecting makeup, it'll just go bad.
>Do you use makeup as a tool for looking more attractive or is it more of a hobby? I use it to look more attractive and get to fuck attractive people. I'm not gonna lie, if makeup was my hobby I'd feel very sorry for myself for not having a better hobby.
>How does that affect your buying habits?I used to be enticed by shiny packaging and cute ads as a teenager but now I've stopped caring. I'm glad to save my money and I know I won't use anything I buy that much, especially now when people are just sitting at home.

I'm losing my mind trying to find a new mascara online. I'm pretty sure my usual one (Collection Colour Lash Brown, which is super cheap and basic) is being discontinued so I'm trying to find a good replacement before my stash runs out, but to no avail.
Can anyone recommend a mascara that's separating and slightly lengthening, preferably brown/grey, and not cakey, flakey or spider-leggy? I'd like my lashes to look like picrel left (ik they're probably bad, shopped examples but i hope you can get the idea. i just want natural and clean looking lashes, flakey mascara is my pet hate. it conjures autistic levels of rage within me.)
I've been combing the internet for months trying to find something good, but for every recommendation I google reviews and examples and find so many pics that look like picrel right and it puts me off of buying the mascara. I don't understand why so many mascara reviewers' pictures end up looking like that, isn't it their job to know how to apply mascara properly? Are they all applying too much, or is the mascara just that shitty?? This endless, fruitless search is ruining my life. The two mascaras I have bought, innisfree microcara and benefit roller lash have looked bad and awful on me respectively (even after some tough intervention with a lash comb), so maybe I should have trusted the awful review pictures? Maybe all mascaras are just that terrible, apart from my shitty soon-to-be discontinued cheapo one? Am I the one who needs to learn how to use mascara?? Is flakey cakey mascara trendy and I'm totally missing out???
Please help me nonnas, I think this mascara search is starting to warp my grip on reality.

Also wiping off some mascara on a towel first before applying, and only doing one or two layers while still wet, don't wait for it to dry before adding another layer.

Forgot to specify I just want to know if IPA can soften older mascara if it's been a while and clumps somewhat, I'm not going to try and dump alcohol into a totally dry tube and use it thinking that it's totally safe in case anyone thinks that. I wouldn't put anything near my eyes in general but it's a risk I'm willing to balance.

>>256627Hey anon hope you can read this and didn't blind yourself with alcohol. Mascaras are either oil or water based. Check your ingredient list, usually water based ones are marketed as safe for lash extensions.
Water based mascara use eye drops, oil based use 1 drop of fresh castor oil (just check its clean and smells good).

Can't believe I spent years using powder, wax, pomade, pencils and brow mascara when I could have been tinting my brows!!!
If you have enough hair on your brows but it's just pale and you look like an alien barefaced, I'm telling you, brow tint is the way the truth and the light.
Takes me five minutes and lasts for weeks. Also makes it easier to groom and maintain your shape because rogue hairs grow in lighter than your tinted ones obviously. Come to the brow tint and be cleansed of all your sins nonas

As for a white foundation, if you want something sheer why not buy a normal sheer foundation and a white mixer? I find that white foundations tend to be pretty heavy. If you go for a foundation I'm seconding Illamasqua. Pricy but it sits nice on the skin. Their complexion products are really worth the price imo.

No. 262492
>>262481I think this depends on your application tbh. If the blush colors you tried out were similar to your skin tone, you do need to be a
bit heavy handed to get it to show up, especially in photos. You could also try dabbing a bit of your favorite light pink lipstick on your finger and applying it to your cheeks. Since lipstick is more concentrated, you only need a small amount to see the color. I’ve been doing this for a while since I rarely wear a full face anymore, but still sometimes want blush for a big event. (Sounds dumb but it really works, vid related).

I bought some Korean makeup products this week and I really like the Romand tint in picrel (Bare Grape). It's a perfect MLBB shade and it smells lovely, I will probably buy another shade in the same line. I also got a cushion from the brand Moonshot. I was worried about the shade but it's a perfect match. However, I am so disappointed with the finish. I thought cushions looked more natural than foundation but it looks terrible on my skin; patchy, flaky, cakey. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the way I apply it?

Tips/tutorials on natural makeup that makes the eyes appear bigger/more opened? I feel like the makeup I do now only hurts me in that aspect and does the complete opposite.
Also, can I somehow make my face more look more friendly?.. I feel like this is a weird thing to ask, but I look unhappy or angry all the time. I think the eyes makeup could help, but I don't know what else.
No. 273176
>>273160You can make your eyes appear bigger and more "opened" by using lengthening mascara, white or peach-coloured pencil on your lower waterline, eyeliner in a flattering and not overbearing shape, natural colours/tones etc. In the attached vid she says to use white and taupe but when I do my makeup I use a nude colour on the lid and apply a darker nude just above the crease (think like a flattering nude + bronzer colours, whatever those look like for your skin).
My biggest tip for big looking eyes is that white liner can look shitty irl so you can soften it while still keeping the brightening effect with a peach shimmer. I use Marcelle Kohl white liner (very opaque) first and then NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Frosting". I also slightly tightline my upper lash/waterline on the outer corners with dark brown pencil to make the lashes look fuller. For mascara you can start on the lower lashes a little further away from the waterline to extend it down a bit.
You can maybe try a sweet-looking blush + lippie combo to make your face look friendlier? Ultimately it's usually your disposition that makes you seem approachable but trust me, you might not want it if you achieve it kek I have the so-called "friendly" face and I get stopped to ask for directions really often despite actually having no sense of direction, approached by weirdoes etc. Good luck anon!

What are the best drugstore brands/dupes for each basic makeup thing available in the US? Particularly primer, concealer/colour corrector, CC (not BB) cream, an eyebrow pen, eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, contour, and lipstick/balm. From what I've read on these threads it seems like most brands are very hit-or-miss and the ones that aren't (like Glossier apparently?) are too expensive to work with for a straight beginner. I need shit you can just pick up at Target or CVS but good enough quality to use and learn with and not look like a toady clown in.
In case some brands exclude specific features, I'm very pale with oily skin and a cool undertone. My body season is Soft Summer. I need pinks, taupes, and browns, I think. Sorry to ask for so much spoonfeeding, I've been researching a lot but don't trust Youtuber or listicle recs. All I've got is that Essence seems good for mascara, Revlon seems good for lip balm, and Nyx seems good for eyeliner. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone else feel like mascara and eyeliner are too heavy looking on your face? Hell, even eye curlers kind of maybe my eyes look a little weird. I always felt like my face looked off when I wore them, aside from maybe wearing eyeliner on my undereye, which is weird because I have small eyes so I should benefit for them, right? I usually go for 'natural' makeup looks so maybe that's why? I usually use colour corrector and light coverage foundation only

>>281913 said make them too. If you plan to smudge it/do a gradient, I don't recommend Nyx and other western liquid lipsticks as they tend to either shift to a pinker tone when smudged or become brighter instead of darker when layered.
Also, these korean matte tints don't set and stay put like a lot of liquid lipsticks do. imo the effect is worth it but they do move around quite a bit and need to be reapplied.
>>281919gradient lip looks good if you choose your product right. some people do look better with a defined lip though, depends on your features.
If your eyelashes are already nice, don't bother with eyelash curling. I have short straight lashes myself but imo it's still not worth the trouble. you didn't mention eyeliner in your list so I suppose you don't have that problem of your eyeliner hiding your lashes. It's better to just use good mascara.
Not to sound like I'm shilling but if you are pale and like cute looks, I recommend looking into k-beauty as well. They have a nicer range of light blush colors (though maybe there are better options elsewhere for cool toned skin idk)

Nonnas, what are some recent not-so-mainstream makeup trends/styles/techniques you've been digging lately? I'd love to see how people express themselves without doing the latest tiktok look.
Mine has been toning down eyeshadow colors as of late. Picrel looks that incorporate softer shadows or even watercolor-esque applications seem fun. I'm a little tired of loud colors, even though I still like my eye makeup to be something other than neutral or nude. It's also been weird doing eye looks without a winged eyeliner, but I've been wanting to do something different to my usual routine lately.

I bought these wine lip stains/lipsticks that were trending on tiktok - 6 for $10 and they are the best lip products I've ever used. Nice and light and they stay on, but if I don't want intense color I can wipe it off after 20 minutes and it stains my lips so I look alive. Hopefully I don't die from the undoubtedly questionable ingredients of these Chinese-ass lip products.

>>284275Youtube. It's full of people giving their opinions on every cosmetic product under the sun and make-up looks for every situation imaginable. If you see something that seems to be sound advice, you can use it with customers. Learn about skin tones, face and eye shapes so you can give good recommendations when required.
No one takes make-up advice from someone bare-faced so I think you should learn a tasteful full-face make-up look that fits your features and style.
Ex-employees seem to say that sales skills are what really matters when it comes to working there, rather than actually being passionate about make-up.

>>284426Ayrt, it all depends on the undertones and how pure a color is. Corals tend to have pink undertones and white bases to make them stand out more. That usually clashes with olive and yellow skin quite badly. For me personally, orange undertones in any lipstick make it very flattering but pure orange lipsticks needs to be a very very specific undertone in order to look good. If things are showing up too rosy, you just need to go warmer/more muted. And don't judge a color before you try it on your lips, most of my lipsticks look incredibly different on my face vs arm.
Another thing that is helpful is to find a youtuber that has a similar coloring to you. Or at least similar undertones and likes. I've been watching Kat/KitschSnitch a ton lately for her lipstick declutter project. It's helpful to see a ton of shades with varying undertones tried on and compared. Temptalia is also a great resource. Sorry if this is jumbled, it's late but I wanted to reply because I always struggled with finding flattering lipsticks.

It gets all the oils off your nail and allows the polish to adhere better. 70% isopropyl should do it. I use picrel as a base coat and it's pretty nice and shiny. It dries pretty fast and generally applies in a nice thin layer which is good for anti-chipping properties.

For a more neutral look, apply a matte transition shade in the crease and a metallic blue on your lid. Complete with a darker outer corner for some definition and a lighter inner corner.

They've been favorites of mine for years and people can usually tell that they're vintage inspired, so they don't associate it with a "trashy" image. Frosty blue eyeshadows also came back into fashion thanks to the y2k trend.
It also depends on your clothing style. Blue eyeshadow will always be eye-catching but if it can be "explained" by other parts of your look, i.e. if your fashion incorporates other retro trends, it will register as consistent enough and "bold but not weird"

What do you ladies think of the Chinese makeup brand Flower Knows? I've actually known about them for some time even before they started making their packaging off the walls gorgeous, but do any of you think it's even worth it? I have a blush I got for a birthday present and while the quality of the packaging and attention to detail is exquisite, the actual blush is just OK.

Is it worth it to buy a huge amount of makeup from this cheap, Asian store so I can first get really good at makeup and then move onto higher end/designer makeup? Is it actually true that cheap, Chinese makeup will give me an eye infection or burn my skin?
Honestly, this makeup aise is to DIE for. It's 1 aisle but both sides have makeup jam-packed into every crevice in every colour, shade, type, sparkle, size, shape, you can think of. I could spend $40 and come away with a ridiculous amount of products. It's a LONG aisle too!

i use this discontinued kat von d powder for my eyebrows and i'm almost out. i know it's just brown eyeshadow but it's for my eyebrows so i want the exact shade! if i just try random brown eyeshadows i'm sure they'll be either too dark or too light and red toned. i want precision. i wish makeup had a universal color standard like hex codes or something lol.

>>296521There are better brands for the price for sure but it all depends on what kind of formula you like. MAC is kinda unique in the sense that they have a very old school, hard pressed eye shadow formula. I like it because you can build it up or keep it sheer and it basically blends itself. Modern formulas are more powdery and give instant, strong pigment. They swatch well but sometimes they can be almost too pigmented. ABH is a good example, I find their single pans to be just the right combination of buttery, high pigment and blendability. Instead of building them up you start off with more coverage and sheer it out. MUFE is another one I've heard good things about. Indie brands will give you more color and formula options at a lower price point. Give Me Glow and Sydney Grace are two I like.
>>296545Depends on what you are buying. Loreal, NYX, Maybelline, Bourjois, Revlon etc. have been increasing their prices over the years. Loreal and NYX especially, to me they're basically midrange at this point. But on the other hand you have Essence, Catrice, Colorpop, ELF, Wet 'n' Wild, Makeup Revolution who have kept incredibly low prices and offer even better products IMO.
>>296550Does it matter? Their products are good, packaging isn't overly childish and they're cheap and easily available. I find brands like Too Faced tacky(because of their themes and packaging) but I wouldn't be embarrassed to use it or judge anyone else. If someone actually judges you for using a particular brand they are the one with issues.
>>297109High end makeup starts at like $40-50 for foundations(for example), that's still quite above current drugstore prices.

Anyone know this bb cream? I just bought it. Because I’m an impulsive lady lol. It was 45 Euro so I hope is good…

>>297218Tbh bb cream is never something I'd spend a lot of money on, because there are so many good cheap ones, especially if you're getting Korean ones, I'm not ever gonna pay for expensive Korean cosmetics when they have great quality for cheap
I'm sure it'll be fine, pretty much all Korean bb creams work the same and are good as long as they match your skin tone
Missha, Skin perfect, AprilSkin, innisfree, iope are all cheaper bb creams/cushions

>>170544hey nonas! this is my first post itt, so forgive me if it's been asked before.
i'm looking for an affordable black eye pencil for tightlining, one that really stays on and doesn't just vanish after blinking twice. affordable meaning drug store and preferably available within europe. i'm currently eyeing the ones by maxfactor, manhattan and nyx, although the former is a bit pricey for me.
thanks in advance!

>>297364i think there could be two possible reasons this is happening to you
1. is the mascara itself. youd just have to try different ones. probably would want to try waterproof ones.
2. your eyelids are maybe oily? you might wanna try wearing eyeshadow primer if you don't already. you can apply it on your under eyes too.

>>297364In my experience it's always the mascara. I have oily and droopy eyelids so there's loads of contanct between my lashes and skin during the day. I've been using the maybelline big shot mascara for a few years now and it works great for me.

>>298160Hi nona I really love this one. I can't recommend it enough. It doesn't dry completely matte, though. It isn't too shiny but just keep that in mind! I've worn this for 14 hours and it barely budged. It's been my go to for almost 3 years now.

Has anyone tried the brand Winky Lux? I saw it trending on YouTube a while ago and got curious. The reviews I’ve seen have been pretty decent, but I’m afraid most of the love is going to the pretty packaging.
I saw these blushes in person at ulta and found them really tiny for the price.

On the topic of blush how do I get a soft pale pink that actually shows up on my skin? I am already pale so idk what I'm doing wrong, I bought this blush and it doesn't show up at all no matter how much I packed it on, I guess they just photoshopped the pic. Are there any blushes that will actually give this effect?

>>298494>>298493I'd suggest going for a color that is a shade darker and maybe more saturated? If you have yellow undertones it's possible the blush is sort of being neutralized. The warmth of your skin mixes with the pink and turns into a skin tone shade. Try a very warm light pink and a very cool toned shade to see if there is any difference in how they show up. Alternatively, you might like lilac blush? It gives a similar effect on pale skin.

Has anyone tried the Chanel Le Blanc La Base makeup base? It’s not sold in my country but I’m curious and thinking about getting one on eBay.
Which correcting color should I get? I have a neutral undertone with some redness and dark circles under my eyes.

>>300460What kind of orange are you looking for
nonnie? Bright orange? Muted, brick orange? Red-orange? Personally I love MAC Morange and Style Shocked for a classic bright orange. Colored Raine Queendom is a beautiful burnt, copper orange. I also love Lime Crime's Squash and Psycho but the formula is a bit dry. Givenchy Solar Stain is my favorite orange lip stain but it's a bit pricy and I'm not sure if it's still available.

>>298158I just wanna say thank you. I'm ntayrt but I came to this thread with your exact problem looking for answers a couple of weeks ago and now I'm a proud owner of the mascara you recommended. It's the second day I used it and barely any smudge at the end of a work day. (I wore primer and powder yesterday so I figured it was too early to celebrate but today I just put some powder under my eyes). It was even on sale, lucky me. Thank youuu, mwah!

I received an in person comment about my "beautiful skin" for the first time in years so I think my new go-to look test drive was a success (as well as my new skincare routine). MAC mineralize skinfinish natural is SO nice once your natural oils mix in. I was worried at the beginning of the day because it seemed powdery…but I'm realizing I just looked like a greaseball with MAC F&B and really needed a new "foundation". Cookie highlighter by Benefit on the cheekbones and Glossier cloud paint in puff in a natural flush pattern is what I think made the skin look so magical yet natural.
If anyone is a soft autumn, MAC Spirit lipstick and NYX Spiked Toffee butter gloss are SO beautiful together and apart! I wish I could find a pink that suits me.
>>298494Could Glossier cloud paint in puff work for you? My fave blush so far. If you're looking for more pigmented and less natural, I also used to have this super pigmemted light pink by a Japanese brand called Melliesh that I loved. Kinda want to order some now but I pretty much always go for more subtle color now that I'm older.

>>300964I'm not sure if there would be differences in remedy for other causes, but I posted in skincare:
>>300889From what I understand, you have to protect the hell out of your skin and let it rest a while (dealing with any breakouts without actives, foregoing makeup) until it can cycle out a new moisture barrier (took me a couple weeks).
