Could we have a makeup thread that isn't shit? The last one has been dead for ages and has such an ugly OP picture.

Lolcow also seems to have a bit more traffic now after being linked to 8chan several times (which is still currently down).

Hello anons. Since this is a makeup thread I wanted to ask:
How do I get better at using makeup? I don't wear it often but I like to dress up once in a while. I have some good quality brushes and products. I can do very basic applications but it always looks sloppy or basic to me. I know I can watch videos but they don't usually explain things in detail and assume people know what they're doing. I don't like very heavy makeup but I prefer eye looks to anything else. Does anyone have favourite websites or tutorials to share? I would be so great full. Thank you.

Thank you for understanding. I really, really did not want to be a shill and spam it everywhere. I used to be one of the co-runners of the makeup /cgl/ threads, but we left halfchan. At first, I thought /fem/ would be cool, but.. well.. It sort of isn't great anymore because there are MUCH more men who post, they're betas, and I'm sorry if this sounds Tumblr but I just wanted a place where girls could go to talk about cosmetics and fashion. /fa/ is always male geared and /cgl/..

Ugh, tell me about it, I'm all for free speech, but they're super spammy with their beta whining. I tried having a thread about fashion or whatever and you had guys whining about how women are vapid for caring about fashion.

It's really annoying and happens all the time. Even worse are the random rants they spam in all thread. Like literally copypastas of why women suck.

You can use shampoo or dish soap to clean brushes off. It doesn't really need to be anything fancy, despite what people think. Try not to get the part where the bristles are attached to the metal part wet and you run the tips/middle under water until the water runs clear.

For sponges, most people I know wash those the same way or buy multiples. Brush life depends on where you buy from. I have ones from The Body Shop that lasted me almost two years with regular washing.

No. 45889

>>133514
Any soap will do, as long as it doesn't cause you to have an allergic reaction.

You might want to experiment with using your fingers btw. A lot of proffessional makeup artists use their fingers for concealer and foundation because the warmth of your fingers melts it more easily, and it looks more 'natural'.

I wouldn't advise finger application for heavy coverage though. Only use it if you don't wear much makeup anyway.

Girls, I need your help. Especially any MUA's or advanced makeup geeks.

I have a heart shaped face. I have to contour a lot according to the charts I see, that's cool. So I go to Sephora over the course of 3 months and ask the girls there to recommend me a good contouring products (because I want them allll!).
So far different employees have recommended different brands which are:

Too Faced: Milk Chocolate Soleil, Soleil Matte Bronzer, Sunny Bunny

Tart: 3 Park Ave Princess (They came in palettes), and 1 Park Ave Princess waterproof bronzer

Buxom: Tahiti bronzer

That's a lot of fucking bronzers right? Well fuck me because I just recently started seeing articles and gurus talking about how contouring powders should be Taupe (gray brown) to imitate a natural shadow.
I just looked through my bronzers and they're all brown! I'm so fucking pissed at myself for spending so much on the same shit without doing more research. I can't believe the MUA's at Sephora didn't know this.

I don't bronze.
So… I'm a neutral leaning towards warmer tones (but I can do cool sometimes). Can I get away with using these bronzers for contouring? Aside from that, I have no use for these products.

No. 45893

>>133521
Bronzers have always been used for contouring. Some people even use eyeshadows, especially for the nose area. It really depends on your skin color to determine whether or not a taupe color might be best for you. I wouldn't sweat it much and keep on using the bronzers.

You can STILL try and use bronzers for contouring. I'm super pale and I can still use an NYX bronzer to create the illusion of shadow, but it's very subtle, don't use too much

What you can do (I do this with all the 'too dark' foundations/bb creams I have) is to use it on your legs in the summer. It'll make them look photoshop smooth if you put some darker foundation or bb cream on them, then you can swipe some bronzer over that

For some reason, that link is being weird. Not sure if this one will work any better.

http://8ch.net/beauty/

If you are unable to find the board, use the list of boards button on 8ch and CTRL + F for /beauty/. That should help if these links are still being shitty. I saw some people asking about finding it.

Also, I know many here are from /cgl/ and while I really do not want to steal any thunder from the Admin of 8ch /cgl/, I know that the board is painfully slow and going back to halfchan is a pain for some. I'm allowing generals for JFash/Lolita since it IS fashion related and I've expanded /beauty/'s content to allow more than just skin care and makeup.

Hopefully, /cgl/ does pick up though.

Really looking forward to his lip scrubs, though. Overall I really like his stuff so far and people are always like "omg where did u get that lipstick" when I'm out. I think he's going to get really big really quick, but it seems like he works really hard on his products, so it'll be deserved.

Actually that was me. Long time pixy whorshipper. I had way too many vicodins and was a bit high. My dog died recently and was self-medicating. I couldn't sleep so I posted some tl;dr off the huge amount of high end foundations I've used. Some of them were disasters and I wanted to share the experience.

Now, I would have deleted the post in the morning because it sounded like a retarded faggot douchebag had written it, but I was met with "FUCKING DIE, SLUT," etc seconds after I posted. I was pretty surprised some women in here have their vaginas filled to the brim with sand. I always thought women were cooler than guys, but some comments made in this place reinforces the idea that women dominated forums are filled with cunty hags.

Anyways, for the rest of the cool kids in this thread - sorry for posting some lame shit on make up and ruining the flow. I wanted to share some of my experiences with a bunch of foundations, but as I said before, it came off retarded.

Depends. Lightening creams "bleach" the skin and brightening creams make your skin look fresher. I think most creams do a little mix of both. I'm guessing Asian skincare has more lightening agents, but I'm not really interested in being a ghost. I just want nice clear bright skin.

I'm going to try Chanel's Le Blanc since it's the first American line that has THX. Dunno about the details about "THX" but it's famous in Asia for being effective at skin brightening. If that turns out to be shit, I might go for Clarins since it's got the best reviews I could track down.

Since this is a makeup thread, could any kind anons help me out?

I'm pretty shit at makeup to begin with, and I'm having problems finding tutorials for my eye shape. I'm Asian and I have a hooded and mostly hidden double lid so it's almost a combination of both mono and double, and unfortunately most Asian tutorials go for one or the other. I can barely even do winged eyeliner because either the skin on the upper-outer corner of my eye or the hooded part of my lid always smudges it. Any tips/references to people with the same eye shape? Will be eternally grateful.

I have the exact same eyeshape as you and you can do a lot with make up there. it took me ages to figure it out for the exact same reason you mentioned: most advice is either for mono lid or double lid, not in between.

winged eyeliner works very well if you make it pointy. the wing has to start before your lid drops so it doesn't go completely to the outer corner of your eye.

always put very bright concealer on the outer corner to hide the dropping.

never merge your under lid eyeshadow/liner with your upper lid eyeshadow/liner because that emphasizes the dropping.

stretch your eyelid while applying eyeshadow and eyeliner. for some reason tutorials aways advice not to do this but with a hooded lid you have to. otherwise your make up will look dirty because you can't apply it accurately on excess lose skin.

I hope this helped you a little. I'm not very good at explaining make up in english because it's not the standard stuff you learn in your english class.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4fur_12EEc

this tutorial works very good for your type of eye, you just have to keep in mind not to merge the under eye/upper lid eyeshadow like she does and instead brighten your outer eyecorner.

No. 45983

same anon.

for winged eyeliner I use the liquid eyeliner by guerlain. it's very expensive and needs a lot of practice but if you figure out how to use it it's worth it.

and I forgot to mention that you always have to use eyeshadow base and set everything with translucent powder because it easily smudges on a partly hooded eye.

a lot of people never go to the eye doctor for lenses. it's the smart thing to do obviously, but i never did. i never had a problem because i understand what i need to do to take care of contact lenses. i've been wearing circle lenses for ~6 years? and i never wore lenses before that.

>>133618
That makes sense. I've never worn lenses before either, but the taking care of them seems like just common sense. I'd probably only wear them when I got with friends and shit.

Some of the stuff I'm not really knowledgeable about is when websites list diameters, water content, and shit. What sort of numbers are good and what are bad?

No. 45991

>>133619
The diameter of the lens is just how big it is. 15 mm will look bigger than 14 mm. Smaller diameters will probably look more natural. It's up to you.
Water content just means they are more breathable lenses so you can probably wear them for longer without your eyes feeling dried out. If you've never worn contacts before this might be tricky because you don't know how your eyes will react. They make them all mostly around ~%40 anyway which should be okay. If they get uncomfortable take them out.
The base curve is the curvature of the lens to fit your eyeball. This is why you need a prescription even if you just want planos. A tiny bit of deviation from your base curve is okay (like if you're 8.5 you should be okay wearing 8.6mms) but too much will probably be uncomfortable and could even damage your eyes.

No. 45992

I really don't get this circle lenses thing. Nobody wears them in europe except for weebs maybe… At least I've never seen anyone wear them and I'm sure if I'd buy some people would ask me lots of stupid questions and think it's bad taste. It's so obviously unnatural.

derma roller with less than 0.3 mm, run it over your lips while pressing hard, you may bleed a bit

The Stilla stay all day is my favourite eyeliner pen I've ever used. Been buying it for years. The tip is perfect, the colour is very dark black, and it holds up for quite a while, even with daily use.

However, I'll say that it's not 100% waterproof. If it's extremely hot out and you're sweating like a pig all day, it'll start to wear off. But I think that every eyeliner would do that, honestly.

Also, the last one I purchased a few days ago had a completely different hard tip that was impossible to use. It was like a blunt sharpie marker instead of a semi-hard brush. Hopefully that one is just defective.

I know you said liquid but They're real! Push up liner by benefit (which is gel) is fucking amazing and I haven't used liquid in a year. Awesome staying power and super black.

The push up liner can dry out if you don't store it right (like all gel eyeliner, don't let it get exposed to air when not in use). Maybelline makes a dupe that actually came out before Benefit's, but it seems like it's only available in Asia and the UK?

>>133649

If you want drugstore options, Physician's Formula makes a great eyeliner pen in black and ultra black, with a brush tip rather then a felt tip pen. Maybelline makes some nice ones as well, right now I've been using the Stiletto one (the tip is more like a cone-shaped sponge rather then a felt tip) and it's only just started to fry up after about 9 months. I have the Loreal Slim liner one as well, but I find the tip to be a little stiff, and it doesn't come in waterproof.

Urban decay also make a nice one that's very black, but I find it's too stiff for me to use.

>>133651

I'm literally retarded when it comes to makeup, I only buy drugstore stuff cuz I never really learned and I don't want to waste on expensive stuff if I don't know what I'm doing. I always just use plain black gel eyeliner and mascara because it's easy enough.

I want to learn how to do my eyebrows and foundation though. Eyebrows I have no idea on but foundation it always ends up looking smeared and doesn't cover anything, even with primer and powder.

the average eyelash has a lifespan of a few months, so they don't have a lot of time to accrue enough damage to make them break off.

As long as you curl them before applying mascara it doesn't. Though accidents can happen. I once moved my arm while still holding the curler and ripped out a few lashes but they grow back anyway.

So, I was pretty excited to try the Loreal Lumi Cushion foundation thing after several people gushed about how good it is, but it turns out that their lightest shade is too dark for me. I used to be N2 in their color range until I exfoliated my skin and now it looks like oompa loompa face paint. W2 is almost right, but it's a tad too dark and very orange.

My skin has a green undertone although I am really pale, so I assume I need a neutral toned foundation.

Can anyone recommend any brands/products that I might be able to use? I need something with at least medium coverage to cover my red cheeks, so I'm not sure about bb creams.

Another one I liked is Cover Girl Outlast stay Luminess, but if you're an oily girl you're going to have too much glow. I kept preferring it down with Urban Decay de-slick compact.

Anyone else allergic to dimethicone?

It's a silicone-based ingredient that makes stuff feel really soft and non-greasy (a lot of primers and BB creams have it- oh and most sunscreens).

It makes my skin break out into a rash and my face swell up until I look like a monster. It feels really bad, since so many nice products contain it.

Any advice for a good BB cream that doesn't contain dimethicone? I tried The Body Shop's and it's really gooey.

I'm a newbie to make up and I have currently two problems that I can't seem to find an answer. Here we go:

1) I curl my lashes but they won't stay curled longer than a few seconds. They naturally point down (not straight down but yea) and it's making my eyes look smaller and like I'm not wearing any mascara. I tried out a few tutorials and different brands but nothing is helping so far. I's also impossible to wear false lashes because I can't blend them with my real ones.

2) How do you blend out contour powder? I tried 3 different brushes and even my fingers but it won't blend. I don't apply a lot of product so it shouldn't be a problem.

Any tips?

Use a waterproof mascara, after heating the curl iron with a hair drye. Make sure it isn't so warm you will burn yourself, because you gotta curl all the way at the root. If you don't, the lashes will look a lot shorter than they are.

Results were mixed when I tried searching the web for this, so I'm placing my trust in lolcow.

I want to wear more lipstick, but I'm horrendous at picking out colors that don't look like shit after I put them on. I'm pale and have brown eyes/eyebrows and light brown hair. Are there any lip colors that are a yes or no with these features?

Honestly, it depends on your skin tone. I think the rule of thumb is: if your veins show up green then you're better matched to warm tones and pinks skin tones suit cooler shades. Google 'skin tone lip' for some infographics if you're floundering. I'm a cool skin tone and fairly pale, and one of my favorite lip shades that's bold without being too much 'pop' is NYX's Euro Trash.

Also, regardless of skin tone temp, when picking a red lip shade try to pick a shade that is more blue toned or cooler in tone. This is mostly because it'll make your teeth look whiter, and the right shade of a blue toned red lip rarely looks bad on anyone. If you have either an Ulta or a Sephora near you, go to the Urban Decay counter and swatch the colors 69 and Fbomb. Both are really nice reds that work on just about anyone. 69 is deeper and more neutral and Fbomb, pic related, tends to look cooler in tone on most people.

Also their Mia Wallace lipstick from the Pulp Fiction line is amazing but I don't know if it's still available.

Can anyone recommend a good foundation for extremely sensitive skin? I need good coverage since I have some pretty bad acne scarring, but almost every brand I try breaks my skin out or burns/causes a rash. Basically all I can use is light coverage bb cream but it never lasts very long, even with that Urban Decay all nighter spray it just… Disappears. In addition, since I haven't even been able to find a foundation yet that I can use, I don't know anything about brushes, concealer, or what to use for contouring since I'm Casper-pale. Makeup is a touchy subject for me and I get frustrated with it easily because of my skin, but I'm so tired of playing the ugly tomboy because I don't know how to use makeup. I need a makeup guru BFF to give me a makeover, sigh.

Not everyone can do the blue undertone of red lipstick. It's suited for cool toned skin. Warmer time skin can wear an orangish red.

But the best red ever is MAC Ruby Woo. Looks awesome on anyone. It's the red we all wear, and the one we put on everyone. It's a matte, but since it's so pigmented you can put a gloss over it. I can't think of the last time I used an entire time of lipstick and had to order a second.

I'm neutral going towards warm because of the golden undertone I have and I've never had an issue wearing a blue toned red lip. I do think cooler toned people have to work harder to wear orangey reds comparitvely, but it's rare that I've seen a cooler red not work on someone warm/yellow toned.

I actually think the tone of pinks is more fussy then the tone of reds, but that might just be my experience.

in that case, you might want to look into water-based airbrush foundation. it's essentially pure pigment, so you get good coverage, and it's really unlikely to irritate your skin.
since nothing is touching your skin but the makeup itself, there's no way to spread bacteria around either (as opposed to brushes/sponges).

it's a way bigger investment obviously, but the results are worth it imo.
if there's a sephora or a makeup counter nearby that can do a demo for you, I'd really recommend checking it out.

luminess, obsessive compulsive cosmetics, and graftobian all have water-based foundations. I think temptu has come out w/ some as well.

they make silicone based airbrush foundations too (usually dewy finishes), but I'm guessing silicone based anything is probably going to irritate your skin and contribute to breakouts.

No. 46084

Focus on clearing your issues so you don't have to cover them and continue the cycle of worsening your skin.

Exfoliation and proper moisturization should clear up your issue pretty quickly.
My mistake early on is that I avoided moisturizers entirely because I have oily skin. Since I've started a regimen that involves keeping moisture locked in and bacteria out, makeup has become such a breeze. Use an alcohol free toner after your skincare and finish off with 100% pure aloe vera to help shrink your pores. Avoid a lot of powders. Or mix a matte powder with a light coverage with setting powder (I use white aloe Vera powder with it) AFTER you've sloughed away the flaky skin via exfoliation and diligent skincare.

No. 46085

>>133713
hm thanks but I do that already. I exfoliate, use a toner and finish with pure Aloe Vera but skin's still dry and flaky. If I use a richer moisturizer I get blackheads.

Maybe it's a hormonal issue because it gets worse and better without me changing my routine. it seems kind of random.

The skin around my nose and eyes is also very dry and harsh and nothing seems to help there. if I apply moisturizer it just lies there without really sinking in.

I wash my face with water every morning and evening. If it gets too oily during the day I use a thermal spring water and a cotton pad. I only use soap in the evening because otherwise my skin gets irritated.
I use high end french products for sensitive skin. Pretty expensive, actually. Except for the Aloe Vera, that one’s organic.

My diet is good but I have deficiencies which I never got under control, especially iron. But they are not bad enough to make the doctors worry or do something drastic like giving me injections. It’s always „take this or that supplement and if it doesn’t work“: ¯\_(ツ)_/

I’ve been vegan for 3 years so I cut out all diary and I still had those problems. Because of my iron levels I’m eating meat and eggs again but nothing has changed.

Actually I spend a lot of money on fresh and organic products. I just had a bowl of Quinoa with dried mango. Allegedly this should be good for my skin and hair (?)

thanks. omega-3 is a good idea. I have supplements but I forget to take them regularly. I remember my mother always fed me omega 3 as a child because of my problems.
I also have supplements for skin, hair and iron levels.
My hair is shit too btw. Again oily and dry at the same time. I really should get my hormones checked….

By the way, my skin is not shit in general. My cheeks are nice and I don't get acne only impurities and black head in those specific areas (nose, sometimes chin & forehead). I also treat the areas of my face differently, like I never apply toner to my cheeks because they don't need it.

I've been covetting the natural matte pallete from Two Faced, if you're looking for something that can do looks that are for everyday, but could be used for deeper smokey looks, if you didn't want to incorporate any shimmers (or keep shimmers in another palette of specific singles for whatever reason.) Only thing it's missing is a matte black, but that's only really useful if you have black hair or are a deeper skin tone (or both.) Otherwise, it'd likely work for anyone.

Are there any picture tutorials for eyelid glue/tape for Caucasians? I see white girls talk about using them all the time online but they never post pics or share why they use it. I have heavily hooded kids and I bought some eyelid glue before and experimented with it a lot, but it always ends up looking like shit and I really don't know what I'm doing with it. Every time I try to google tutorials for it all I get are ones for Asian girls or old ass women in their 60's+.

How much do you weigh? If you're average weight, could you stand to lose a little more? Or put on muscle and lose fat if you're not comfortable with that.

That's one thing that will demonstrably help with your hooded lids. Beyond that you're stuck with them, and acceptance is perhaps the better route than eyelid glue. If you really want to get rid of them so badly, save up for eyelid surgery, at least it'll look more convincing that the glue.

I have them too, and it's annoying but kinda charming. Rock those lids, I'm sure they look great on you. They're not the easiest eye to do makeup on, but once you learn the tricks and take a look at some tutorials, you too can be a kawaii eyeshadow queen.

Eyelid glue is awful for hooded lids in my experience. I highly recommend you use either mesh eyelid "tape" or thick double sided eyelid tape.
I'd make a pic tutorial for you but it still takes me an hour or 2 to do both eyes. Generally you just want to put the tape over where your eyes start to crease.

Fellow hooded-lid anon here, white. One of the things that's helped me is to try and keep my head and face straight on to the mirror and keep my eyes open as much as possible while trying to put on the deeper 'crease' shades. I have no idea when my eye is shut where on the lid the crease is so it's helped me to keep them open and lightly go over it before closing my eye and smoothing out the shape and such. Just keep double checking with your eyes open and relaxed.

nope weight makes a difference. when I'm underweight my eyes are a lot "less" hooded than at a normal weight. they are still hooded, but more taylor-swift level hooded than nicole kidman. don’t need to be an obeast to see a difference.

>>133782

I wouldn't even try to keep it straight but put my chin up. or place a mirror at a significant lower level. also gently pulling your skin tight helps with the application of eyeliner.

and one more thing for all fellow hooded lids anons: eyeshadow base is the most important thing for hooded lids. everyone should use it anyway but especially people with hooded lids.

Hooded lids can be beautiful if you have nice, full lips and a small nose. but hooded eyes + thin lips and/or a big nose = witch face.

> I highly doubt they have any relation to weight unless you're extremely obese
That's objectively incorrect. Hooded lids are due to fat deposits in the face. They can indeed get extreme with obesity, but even at lower weights it can be an area where fat accumulates. This will vary from person to person- some people have droopy skin there more than fat, but generally losing weight will help.

For keks, extreme obesity can actually make it difficult for you to see

I bought lipsticks and ended up with a completely different item, which was unsealed and now the seller wants me to return it. Am I in my right to say no, considering that Ebay's makeup/drug policy doesn't allowed used items? How could they know I havent used it? Or if someone else has if it wasnt sealed?

So here's an odd question, how does one deal with the corners of your eyes being too watery?

So many people I used to look up to for style are shitting on people who aren't about this "Kardashian" look and are shouting "YAS SLAY" when someone who doesn't suit thick brows AT ALL draws them on like fake mustaches. Don't get me started on people with light hair and dark brown fake brows.

tbh, that 'sexy' look suits Caucasian eyes a lot more than 'cute' looks ever will. Mostly because when people try to copy the japanese/Korean cute looks, they don't take their eyeshape into consideration. With caucasian features, you really want to highlight and contour specific areas. Just follow a do's/don'ts tutorial for hooded eyes, and keep your eyes neutral and simple. Incorporate and experiment with other cute makeup, like blush styles/lip products/lashes, to get the overall look instead of making your eyes clash.

I understand what you're looking for anon.

I really think for most western eye shapes, any kind of lining of the bottom eye automatically makes it look more sexy or glamorous. If anon above is looking for something cute, then it should be avoided.

No. 46203

Let me be more clear. If you use an eyeshadow shadow that is maybe 1-2 tones darker then your actual skin color, you'll get the definition without going into that territory of it being less cute and more mature. That goes for all skin tones really (I'm medium toned, but I've down this on a friend who's white.)

In washed out pics like that it often looks like the lower lash line is undefined in that way (and only the mascara to create definition) but that doesn't work for most people, regardless of ethnicity, unless they do have amazing lower lashes that just need a coat of mascara.

No. 46204

My mistake, my dumb ass thought you were advocating for bright colors on the lower lashline (I've seen this done for lots of instagram looks). A little neutral brown on the lower lashline is fine as long as its subtle.

Ive been looking at a few diy cinnamon lip plumper vids and the only difference is that they put lipgloss on. Is lipgloss the only thing that somehow helps?

a good alternative would be using one of those lip plumpers. The one I use is called Candylipz. This site fucking hates it tho because it can make you look like a fish lol.

I try to wear mascara on my lower lashes because it looks amazing on others, but for me it somehow looks smudgy/blotchy? (even though there are no smudges) Advice?

No. 46250

I often apply mascara to my lower lashes while holding the wand vertically (parallel to my lashes). I also take a damp q-tip and swipe it under them to clear up any that got on the skin. You can then use the dry end of the q-tip to poke at and declumpify your lashes a bit.

No. 46251

Before applying, wrap the mascara wand around tissue and take off excess product.
Hold a business card (or something similar) underneath your lashes to prevent the mascara from getting onto your skin below. It'll also help separate your lashes.

Even though im no longer doing that stuff, my roomate is a makeup artist so he gets a lot of free shit that i can try/keep. But im fucking allergic to everything. He got me the Urban Decay Vice eyeshadow pallete but i can only use it once or twice a week cuz it dries out my eyelids (or else its my face lotion)..

Im having a lot of trouble finding some sort of bb/cc/foundation thing that is light, doesnt sit on my face like a mask, and doesnt dry me out or make a dry ring around my mouth… Im gonna talk to a dermotologist next week but does anyone have any good leads before then?

Hmm how sparse are talking here? Do you just have very little hair or do you need something to fill it in a bit? I've got thicker eyebrows but, fml, they don't grow in evenly so it's patchy in a couple of spots. Anyways, I've been using Blinc eyebrow mousse and I'm pretty in love with it. It fills everything in and helps maintain shape with out looking overly done. If you want a more natural look I would go with this.

I used to use Missha Perfect Cover myself and whilst it is fantastic, idk of you've noticed but online imports have become scarcer and the prices have gone up. I used to buy mine from South Korea on eBay and it used to be that I could get one of the 100ml tubes for under £5, but now I'll be lucky to find one for under £10.

These days I use TonyMoly Petite Cotton. It's only avaliable in one shade, which is a pale olive tone not so different from the lightest shade of Perfect Cover, and the coverage is identical if not better than Missha. That and I can get 3-4 bundles for £10 that last foreverrrrrrr. I do have very sensitive skin including seborrheic dermatitis and this has always been great with it.

I really wish the West would adopt the South Korean cosmetic style which puts a huge emphasis on UV protection, non-dermatologically aggravating ingredients, low alcohol content and cute packaging.
I feel like Western cosmetics just chuck whatever into their shit regardless of how bad it is for your skin and dress it up as "luxury European product" with some shitty tagline like "LONDON STYLE" and a huge mark up. Most of the foundations here don't even have SPF… we are so fucking behind.

They're one of the best drugstore brands out there. Like >>133918, I swear by their eyeliner. Face powder and blush is pretty decent as well, and their products really are gentle on your skin.
The only products I've ever disliked by them is the "organic" mascara and the BB cream. The mascara runs pretty easily and irritates my babby eyes and the BB cream is so limited on color and doesn't give outstanding coverage. It'll get patchy unless you blend into oblivion.
Overall, though, this is one of my favorite brands. They're gentle on the skin, cruelty-free, cute, and pretty decent products for the price.

All of their foundations are pretty limited on color, it seems. I tried their new cushion foundation in the lightest color (I'm extremely fair) and it was much too dark for me. Sucks, because the foundation itself went on really nicely and had great coverage, plus dat spf that drugstore foundations always lack.

So for people with medium warm skin tones, their foundation is probably great. I do like their bronzers and blushes though.

pretty normal double eyelids, I think. However my eyes are big and my eyelids look (to me) kind of puffy compared to other peoples' eyelids. I'm not sure if it's because my eyes protrude a bit or what.

The way Mila Kunis's eyes look is similar to what I mean.

I like to wear natural-looking circle lenses to cover more of the white of my eye.

Looking for cute, easy looks & maybe something more interesting for nighttime. It's hard for me to pull off anything very sexy. But I would like to try doing something, anything. I'm sure more makeup would balance the larger circle lenses I own too.

Oh, then you're p lucky on the eyelid front cuz my own are double but barely and one is more creased than the other and when i do eyeliner i have to do it differently to make sure my eyes don't look ever wonkier. Idk honestly it's hard to recommend makeup tutorials without really knowing what another person looks like but im just gonna assume that you don't want the whole cut-crease super dramatic instagram kind of eye makeup or like the really korean-inspired kind of eye makeup with droopy eyeliner and aegyo sal or whatever. So basically cute normal makeup. I think your best bet here is just to go on youtube and look up eye makeup tutorials until you find something you like and practice doing it. I'm sort of the same as you because i have a v young face too and i was like "shit I can't pull off any of this". I use tape to get a clean line when doing eye makeup (idk i like having a clean line but some people think it looks kind of artificial n you might so idk) and i kind of just do a v thin, shortish eyeliner wing and like a sweep of tan shadow over the lid and then some darker brown on the outer edges.

Hey farmers, the past few months I've been using the KVD lock it foundation, and it's great, it really is! I just think it might be to thick for my comfort, though. Putting it on and blending it no matter if it's a brush, beauty blender, etc is a pain. Also the coverage makes me look too flawless, to the level it looks cakey at times. So, here's my question. What are some good, long lasting, medium coverage foundations? I've heard Naked Skin by UD is good, but I'm weary, Dior Star foundation also looks pretty nice. But what do you guys recommend?

No. 46303

>>133928
I normally don't because all I tend to wear is moisturiser and eyeliner/mascara, so adding any cover up tends to make my eyeliner or mascara run.
I'll do it if I'm dressing up nicely but it's not very convincing unless I put on a full coat face of makeup, I still look worn out even with peach concealer, why bother?

No. 46304

You can thin out foundation pretty wel with moisturiser sometimes. Try that if you've got foundation left to use up.

Dior star is pretty good but you need concealer for any big coverups. It lasts a while but powder is a must if you have oily skin. I use it for everyday makeup and it's quite thin and runny because it's supposed to be buildable coverage. I've never had it be cakey on my face but I don't apply a lot.

Clinique foundations are pretty good too.

I’d also like some advice on whether to apply eyeliner before or after curling your lashes.

If I do it before curling the lash curler sometimes will mess up the eyeliner. Also if I use liquid eyeliner before I apply mascara some of it will end up on the roots of the lashes which makes the mascara look messy. I don’t have this problem if I apply the eyeliner afterwards (still ends up on the lashes but since they’re already covered in mascara it doesn’t mess them up).

If I apply liner after curling my lashes the lashes are in the way and it just doesn’t feel… right.

So I haven't seen anyone talk about Burt's Bees stuff in this thread. Anyone else use their products?

I've been trying out their skincare recently and I have to say I'm impressed. I have really sensitive skin that's prone to irritation, it's also combination so it's oily with dry patches. I started using their sensitive daily cleanser and daily sensitive lotion and it's made such a huge difference. The cleanser doesn't lather up so it doesn't leave my face feeling all cracked and shit. The lotion feels kind of gross going on, but once it absorbs it doesn't leave a residue behind, which makes it great to put on before applying makeup.

I'm REALLY impressed with their BB cream. I'm a cool tone pale, so it's rare that you find a drug store product that's not orange. Their light shade is perfect. It's really soothing going on and smells amazing. Decent coverage for a BB cream.

I haven't tried their other products other than makeup wipes or lip balm, but I think I definitely will now.

I have no reason to buy any other lipsticks in those shades or matte because his are perfect, have amazing staying power, and aren't drying as fuck. So I would definitely recommend giving his a shot. People seem pleased with his black shades. I'd really like to snag Masochist next time it's in stock.

There was another one of his I did try that I hated - it was a coral color, don't remember the name and he doesn't sell it anymore apparently. It was super watery and looked like shit. Dunno if I got a bad batch or maybe it was ass for everyone and that's why he doesn't sell it. To my knowledge it's the only shade he's come out with and not brought back.

I love Nyx's Stone Fox if you want a drugstore brand for a grey lip.

Kat Von D seems to be the go-to brand for gothic make up, however if you want something more drugstore Nyx and Elf both make black lipsticks you can order from their websites that are decent prices. A lot of other drugstore brands are doing deep purples now that are nearly black since it was such a trend this past fall/winter on the runways.

I do have Weirdo and I do think it's worth it, but Witches from KVD is likely a more accessible black liquid lipstick since you can go into any Sephora and theoretically pick it up.

Otherwise go super old school with lip balm and black eyeliner.

It's likely because of import. What Nyx started out as was a company that made cheap dupes of Mac products (the single shadows have basically the same packaging.) The quality of their products have been getting better, but I wouldn't pay double the price for most of it, except for the fact that they do the weird trendy shit.

Benefit is high end and I don't see anything special with most of their products. They also have some of the most limited shade ranges I have ever seen, so I'd rather not support them.

So my skin only recently cleared up to the extent that it actually looks good without makeup on, all supple and dewy and shit.

I watched a video recently of a makeup artist applying a particular style, and one of the things she mentioned whilst applying it was that it wasn't necessary to apply foundation all over your face, just in a few key, targeted areas, like around your cheeks or under your eyes.

Call me fucking retarded, but it this common knowledge? Because I've been applying that shit like goddamn moisturiser since I was 17. I mean to be fair it was mostly because I was suffering with eczema and was trying to cover the damage, but since I began following what the MA said, my makeup really does look a hell of a lot better. No more "clogged, heavy" appearance, I look a hell of a lot more youthful too, which is exactly what I thought a full coverage was providing, but nope.

Picture unrelated, but I thought it was lovely makeup.

No. 46362

I did that for a long time, no makeup artist at sephora or mac ever said anything. I guess using all that foundation means buying it more, ect ect, so that might be why it's not talked about as much. I too found that using a bit of product in just the right place has made a huge difference for the better, in my makeup and skin. I suggest to everyone to try and find a foundation that's made to avoid clogging pores it helps a lot even if you do a full face of makeup.

Long story but basically my mom tanned, realized how bad it was, and has been to a specialist ever since to help reverse how old it made her. Actually seems to have worked but that could be because she never took care of her skin in her youth, she want from looking 65 to about 45-50 ish.

I go to the same specialist after all my breakouts (have had great skin all my life) and she saw my makeup bag and went pale. Mac and sephora everything - she went into great detail explaining why most makeup companies aren't great if you have even slightly delicate skin, most of their formulas don't really look at how the skin reacts to the product after 10 or so hours and how it sinks into the pores. Basically, makeup companies are great at makeup. Skincare is another game entirely, and now I stick to brands that have their foot firmly in skincare first, cosmetics second.

I mean, I'm 26 and I just learned this a year ago. I wish more girls 17 knew good skincare and avoided bad makeup, I'm convinced not giving a shit about your skin and slathering on makeup is where the 'white people age the worst' comes from.

I've heard good things from korean brands because their look is so heavily focused on good skin, plastering on foundation would not be chic - you need good skin to pull off the effortless look most koreans love.

At the moment I'm still using Jane Iredale - PurePressed® Base Mineral Foundation. There's liquids and other formulas but powder works best for me. All their products for skin are certified non-comedogenic. Imho, I'm not convinced anything you put on your face can be truly non-comedogenic, but this is the closest I've come so far.

Easy to layer, very high SPF built in, can re-apply in specific areas throughout the day (I don't use concealer anymore which is mind boggling, I have deep set eyes and dark circles). It's expensive but worth it, I might not use as much as others, but it's lasted a long time.

It works well for combo skin too, so far it hasn't highlighted dry, patchy parts of my skin it just sits on it.

Anyone else have suggestions? I've only tried this one brand.

It's a powder highlighter though right?
Something I've realised this year is how awful powders look on your face, all dry and cakey. They're terribly ageing.
I think if anybody is going to be using a highlighter they should definitely opt for a stick highlighter or liquid. I abandoned powder foundation and setting powder last year and my skin has legitimately never looked better.

everyone keeps saying this about powder but I really don't understand where it's coming from, are you just talking about powder foundations? I use a matte setting powder every day, because it helps to keep my makeup and place and leaving it 'dewy' just make people look greasy imo. I've never gotten a result that I would describe as 'cakey' unless I was using WAAAY too much of it, and even then you can just dust off the excess with a clean brush.

this isn't precisely uncommon knowledge, but a lot of social-media-MUAs go overboard on their makeup nowadays for selfies and video tutorials, so it's become less common than it should be. it looks really unnatural when you have a thick layer of foundation all over your face, because skin is never as uniform in color as those instagram selfies would have you believe. Usually when I do my makeup, I only use concealer or foundation on 'problem areas' like eyebags or zits, then I just blend it out until it fades seamlessly into the rest of my face.

The quality of the pressed pigments and mixing of products makes a powder 'sit on flakes and creases' or settle into your skin nicely. Almost ALL powder foundations NEED to be set with some kind of misting, which you then go over lightly with your fignertips to get the dew drops off of the hair on your skin.

I use a reusable makeup removing microfiber cloth. It gets rid of all my MUFE eyeliner and stuff without rubbing, and rinses well with hot water and soaps or detergent. It's great for sensitive skin because it has nothing in it, it's just the texture that lifts the makeup off. Afterwards I use a very gentle cleanser with my fingers in a circular motion and pat dry my face. My skincare routine comes an hour or two after that.

Ok so I have a question…I am a long time sufferer of dermatilliomania. It's been years of hell and destroying my skin. In extreme cases of anxiety, stress, or overall feelings of uneasiness I have the uncontrollable urge to pick. Sometimes I guess I even go at what are "imaginary" bumps. It has left with with quite a few scars on my face that make it so I won't even go out of the house. I have really sensitive skin, and I'm looking for a makeup (more like a bb cream?) that is good at covering the redness. Speaking of which, anything that helps with scarring or washes that soothe the face would be amazing. I'm currently on accutane and it's curbed the urge to pick a lot…but when it does happen, it's unsightly. Thanks in advance.

When disguising redness you need to find a coverage that negates the pigment of whatever it is you're trying to hide. So, you need to look at this colour wheel and select the redness that matches your skin the most, and whatever tone is on the opposite of this wheel is what will cover your redness, so for you it'll be a bluey/greeny bb cream.
Unless the redness is an all-over thing though, it might just be worthwhile to invest in a nice, light bb cream with SPF, and then use a colour corrector on the areas you want to tone down. If you have sensitive skin last thing you're going to want to be doing to it is slathering it in a heavy foundation.

Regarding scarring, I would super recommend looking into facial derma rolling, which you can do at home, and applying sweet almond oil after and every night (it HAS to be SWEET almond oil, the other stuff is toxic).
It's loaded with vitamin E and is also an emollient so it softens the skin. I've been using it twice a day every day for a few months now and all my skin problems have vanished with it (persistent seborrheic dermatitis that legit ruined part of my life).

Sorry to hear about your condition though Anon. I know it's not really the same, but I have keratosis pilaris on my upper and forearms, and even though I know it'll scar I keep picking at them and trying to squeeze out the build-up of keratin. I have only just started to treat my arms with sweet almond oil as a kinda "eurgh, let's see how it plays out" kinda thing, and amazingly it's fucking working, I'm elated.
I hope you find a permanent solution to your problem in the future.

Remember that sponges are for evening out coverage, not "applying" your makeup - hope that makes sense. If you use a sponge, you'll take some of the makeup off with it.

No. 46415

>>134042

These are actually not really recommended due to the fact that the sponges absorb a massive amount of foundation so you end up paying a lot more, and they harbour bacteria like no tomorrow so you'd have throw one out after each use. I've heard stories of women going to use beauty blenders after multiple uses and having an insect crawl out.

I've used brushes, sponges, and to date I still prefer my hands. If you're not the kind of person that wants a super heavy coverage then hands are fine, you just have to be wary of tugging on the skin and try more to smooth the foundation over and pat it into a finish. Brushes and sponges are more for people who apply their makeup so heavily they look plastic in photos, but look like the surface of the moon up-close IRL. If you're the kind of person that wants a heavy finish because of bad skin, then you need to address your skin first and foremost.

Spread the foundation on with your fingers first. Use the sponge and dab, don't wipe, all over your face so the foundation is even. Then dab, again don't wipe, conceler over the blemish with your finger. It sounds like you might have oily skin, so get a foundation and conceler for oily skin, those are usually more dry and will "stick" to your skin better.

Are the cheap wedge ones and/or knockoff beauty blenders the same as the official brand name beauty blender? I think I was watching a youtube video and the person said that the brand name one isn't the same as the others and that you can really tell a difference and that it blends better. But does it really make that much of a difference? Is it worth the price?

No. 46427

>>134054
No.

>>134055

I'd check the material that the beauty blender is made of, then compare it to similarly shaped knock offs. I use a marshmallow puff from Too Cool For School which was 1/2 the price of the BB and it works fine, but the material is similar (haven't checked if it's exactly the same) and shape is close enough too. I'd say the shape is better actually.

I def think that the wedges won't be the same due to the more porous material and different, edged shape.

Ye, I own two Urban Decay Naked and Naked 3 knockoff paletes. My sister owns the real deal and when we compared them they were identical in formula.
What a lot of these foreign manufacturing plants do is when they're contracted to produce the product for say, Urban Decay, employees can and do smuggle out ingredient lists, samples, casings and they'll sell them on to a another manufacturer that deal in knockoffs. Sometimes they're even made in the same manufactory.

How do you guys perceive eye makeup vs no eye makeup?

I do base makeup (sunscreen, bb cream, setting powder) + brows + blush every day but that's it. I'm wondering if minimal eye makeup will make any tangible difference. I like Jen's no-makeup makeup tutorial but since I'm lazy I want to make sure the time investment is worth it.

I agree that eye makeup makes the biggest difference to an appearance, but I think in terms of what's most important in makeup application is getting the appearance of smooth, bright even skin.

I normally never wear eye makeup at all after discovering a foundation + highlight + blush routine, with a little bit of eyebrow shaping on the side. It takes me from tired-looking, mid-20's wench to glowing, hydrated qt in 5 minutes. I think eye makeup is a little too heavy for most of the Summer, I would usually only do it in the colder months.

How young is too young when it comes to wearing makeup?

I was at Sephora today and overheard a group of girls who couldn't be older than 12-13 talking about which Urban Decay lipsticks they were obsessed with. Maybe I'm an old fart, but isn't that a little young? I don't have a problem with girls being 'into' makeup from an artistic perspective but idk about the consumerist thing.

It's young for our era, but of course you have to recognise that we didn't have the same levels of access to the internet and subsequently the exposure to such things when we were their age.

Exactly. This is the main reason I don't think younger kids should even wear full make up.

No. 46450

From 11-17 you don't really need foundation. I doubt they'd realize they don't need those layers like the gurus on youtube. The youtubers are usually older + go heavy so the camera picks it up. It's like the Instagram-makeup look, and how it is entirely drag queen makeup techniques - a lot of women didn't realize it and it looks really weird on them. They didn't realize some of the heavy contouring was done to disguise masculine aspects of the face which they didn't have and didn't need to 'fix'.

You have to be so, so, so, so subtle with your tones. A lot of people think you can just slap on a brown that's two, three shades darker than your skin and make it blend, but it has to realistic be more like, half a shade darker than your natural pigment.

No. 46469

Depending on what you need, Real Techniques make some nice brushes at a reasonable price. If you're in the US, you can try the Sonia Kashuk brush sets as well.

If you have pale skin, try looking for nudes with peachy or pinky undertones, depending on your skin temp. Don't ignore using blush either as the right shade can keep away the washed out look too (again, pinky and peachy tones.)

Different face primers can do different things, so it depends on what you need for your skin type. Some with oily need mattifying, those with dry use dewy ones sometimes and then there are primers that help even tone. Not every primer does everything for everyone and if you know, cocktailing make up isn't hard.

>>134096

They are probably doing the all over contour and highlight which you don't need to unless you want to. If you find a color that is just dark enough that's cool toned then just use that.

Hey farmers. I just started learning how to do makeup (23, I know, I'm a failure as a girl) but I keep running into the same problems and I was hoping someone here has some advice:

-I have terrible acne scarring from cystic acne from the ages of 14-22. The cysts are gone now thanks to accutane but the hyper pigmentation and pitted scars make me feel like an ogre, and every foundation I try sinks into them and ends up looking like shit after 2-3 hours. Setting powders and sprays don't have any effect on it.

-I don't get the cystic acne anymore, but I do get painful little white pimples sometimes, so far I've only had breakouts after trying new foundations. Missha perfect cover bb cream doesn't break me out but the coverage is shit for my skin because I also have a lot of problems with redness and dark circles

-the triangular area under my eyes on the sides of my nose, where MUAs make those big concealer triangles, has a weird texture. It's almost like plastic, and it wasn't ever like that before accutane but I guess I can't do anything about that. The problem is nothing will stay on that area no matter what primer or spray I use, I even tried a thicker concealer with an almost clay-like consistency and it nope'd the fuck right off in less than an hour. I don't know what the hell is up with that area or what to even begin doing about it.

-My face tends to sweat first when I get hot, I bought blotter papers to help me stop wiping my face with tissues hoping my makeup would last longer but I end up burning through them so fast. Is there a good way to sweat-proof your makeup other than a setting spray? Even urban decay's all nighter setting sprays don't work for me.

Have you tried using any kind of primer? Primers can help 'fill' in gaps caused by enlarged pores and acne scars as well as helping the foundations to just blend over the skin smoother.

Probably any brows with like a more pronounced arch than whatever you have, and brows that slant downward a bit (idk how to explain it well sorry but not like flat or upwards).

No. 46481

the shape that you need is so heavily dependent on the rest of your face, you're really just going to have to experiment.

my money would be on thick and pretty straight, with a small arch at the end. that's pretty flattering on most people. using a cheap pencil is the fastest way to experiment with shapes imo.

the most realistic way to make brows look thicker is to use wax with brow powder on top (or eye shadow, same thing).
I use a mac automatic pencil wax; lorac makes a good pan wax that's already colored. even e.l.f. has a good wax, it doesn't need to be anything special. the most important thing is the powder MUST be somewhat ash colored. you're not just matching the color to your brow hairs, it's also replicating the look of shadows.

to make it look even thicker but still natural, use a fiber brow mascara on top. there's a lot of asian brands that make fiber brow mascaras, benefit makes a nice one too.

one last option is using eyebrow dye, which will stain the skin as well as the hairs. it can make a huge difference if your hair is light, probably not worth it if your brows are naturally dark brown / black.

What are some good makeup shades for people with mousey/dark blonde hair?

I'm such a big fan of heavy, smokey lids with full eyeliner, but I've come to the realisation that it compliments brunettes and black-haired people more. I used to dye my hair for years so I'm only now getting used to my natural shade and I'm still trying to figure out what works best for me. So far I've found:

>sharp black winged eyeliner

>deep red lipsticks
>highlighting from brow to cheebone (no contour)
>smokey brown eyemakeup w/ smudged brown eyeliner

Brown and taupe are pretty universally flattering. What color are your eyes? Complimentary colors work there, I don't think it's so specific to hair so much as facial features.

I have thick eyebrow hairs and it's stupidly easy to go over a spot that doesn't need it, and end up with massive eyebrows.

I've found trimming the length helps a lot to make it even. Plucking out strays is a must, accidentally going over a lighter colored hair on the eyebrow is a bitch. I end up with random blond patches too, so use discretion when plucking them - if it's actually in the main part of your brow it's fine to just cover it. Hope that helps anon, let us know how it goes. Clean your tools, hands, eyebrows ect to help prevent infection and ingrown hairs too.

Ok so I took some of the advice posted ITT and went on a little budget makeup shopping spree and here's what I got:

>Wet N Wild Dual Ended Contour Stick

I tried 3 other contour palettes before buying this and I prefer this over all of them. And the price is unbeatable at less than $4 after tax. AND the contour side isn't too dark for me which was my main problem with contour palettes (all the lightest ones were always sold out fml). It's also super creamy and I use it on top of my eyelid and under eye primer to brighten up my eyes/help hide my dark circles really well.

>E.L.F. Eye Primer & Liner Sealer

Also amazing, this is the only eyelid primer I've found so far other than Urban Decay that doesn't crease. It also makes a good under eye concealer and is about the same price as the contour stick. I haven't tried the liner sealer yet though so idk about that.

>Covergirl Aquasmooth Fondation

Godly coverage for the price. I loved it but even their lightest shade was still too dark for a ghost like me, so I guess I'll keep on re look out for something else since I'm not sure how to go about mixing white with a compact foundation and I'd really rather avoid the mess as well. But if you are looking for coverage and aren't too ghastly pale I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Also I bought one of each of E.L.F.'s brushes except the small tapered and angled contour brushes and I love them all. $3-6 per brush and nice and soft. I also have their kabuki brush and high definition powder and love it as a setting powder (idk if you're supposed to use HD powder to set buy lolwell) and they were also pretty cheap. I also tried their makeup setting spray which was decent but takes forever to dry and comes out more like a spray bottle than a mist which I didn't like.

I guess I don't have a real point to this post except it feels good to come back to the thread that inspired me to really try learning makeup for real, instead of just whining about being too pale or having too many acne scars or not knowing what I need and blah blah blah excuses. I've been playing with the makeup and brushes and watching YT videos of how other girls do their subtle daily makeup/contouring and how they use their brushes and such maybe 2 times a week, 3 if I have time over the last 3 months or so. Sadly I don't have any progress pics since I still have self esteem issues but just having a basic makeup routine with mascara and light contouring and actually trying has gotten me so many compliments at work and school and it's helping to pull me out of my awkward, depressed shell. I'm actually going to hang out with a few girls from work next weekend and we're gonna have a little spa day/makeup party and I'm so excited and nervous because I never had girly friends or a sister to do this kind of stuff with so I'm squealing like a bitch with glee. And idk I just feel like none of it would have happened if I had just ignored this thread.

Sorry for being a noob here. Yesterday was my birthday and I'm planning to treat myself with a Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette since I mostly wear neutral colors.

I want to try to see if I can buy this palette for cheaper than the retail, of course if I can't find one then I'll have to end up saving a bit more to buy it in stores. I'm aware that ebay has counterfeits of this palette and I plan to avoid them as much as possible. How can you guys tell whether a Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette is authentic? By checking the batch code? serial code? etc?

Also, did Too face change the packaging of the Chocolate Bar?

No. 46510

>>134138
To be honest anon the best way to go is to just get it from an authentic source. People on Ebay steal pics all the time and those ones are usually the ones going for cheap prices while the authentic ones run for normal retail price.

Also, yes they did. The earlier packaging didn't include the names of the shadows on the packaging, but on a piece of plastic that went over it. Plus the tin is thinner now I think

I use makeup sponges and I've never had this problem. I have the real techniques sponge ($6 and way better than the BB which runs for $20) and I use it about 3 or 4 times maybe then I wash it out.

I do so by getting it full of water and then pouring just plain dawn dish soap all over it, then I squeeze and scrub the soap all in the sponge and repeat the process until the water runs clear. However after about 6 months give or take I get a new one, better to be safe than sorry because I am paranoid, lol.

Not to be too much of a privileged bitch (if I come off that way, I really don't mean to) because I have no idea what your situation is.

But I would strongly advice to save up for that one palette you really want. Yeah it's expensive, but a high-quality makeup palette (especially a large one like TF Chocolate Bar/UD Naked) will last you for years, many many years if you take good care of your brushes and disinfect your stuff from time to time. A smaller palette of lower quality could work out alright, but it's still a wildcard. If you're unsatisifed with it you'll have to keep looking, whereas you could've gotten the one you really wanted from the start. A good eyeshadow palette could be considered an investment, because once you have something that covers a large part of what you need for doing tons of different makeup looks you really don't have to worry about much else regarding that particular product category anymore.

If you're planning on shelling out money for the naked 3 i recommend looking into the lorac unzipped. I bought the naked 3 and the pigmentation was super shitty and chalky on most of the rosy colors so I returned it. I know some people really love it, but the quality of the eyeshadows doesn't even come close to the unzipped palette (and lorac is cheaper).

No. 46518

>>134146
They don't sell Lorac in my country, sadly. Thanks for the rec tho anon! I personally don't mind if the eyeshadows aren't super-pigmented as long as I can build them up to the color I want, so I think I'll give it a shot still (since I don't really have any other alternative anyway) because I find the colors gorgeous. If I don't like them I'll hopefully be able to return it and find something else.

Are there any really pale warm-toned anons here? What concealer do you use/recommend? I feel like all the palest shades are always cool-toned because hurr only cool-toned people are super pale!! I use NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly for my under-eyes, and I'm thinking about getting the Immaculate Complexion one in the same shade for spots/scarring etc. I've come to dislike foundation because Korean BB creams are way better, but they don't always offer a lot of coverage and my skin is super blotchy. Do any anons know any super pale neutral concealers that could work as less expensive alternatives to the NARS ones? NARS is really expensive here.

INCOMING LONG DESCRIPTION.

Hi anons! I'm currently in a debate here.
I have both the Too Faced Chocolate Bar and the Chocolate Bon Bons. I recently visited a local Sephora store and decided to swatch some of Urban Decay's Naked 1 Palette and I almost jumped in amusement from the shimmer! I'm a fan of shimmers and neutral colors since have light golden brown skin (Maybelline's Fit Me in 310 Sun Beige)

I haven't used my Chocolate Bar palette yet so I've been comparing some swatches from the sample palette. I still have the receipt for the TF Chocolate Bar palette, but now I'm unsure. Should I consider in trading my TF Chocolate Bar for the UD Naked 1 palette?

No. 46531

I'm a big fan of the UD Naked 1 as well. It's a great basic palette and you can do everything from a nude look to full on shimmery smokey eyes or golden eyes.

My only complaint is that the formula isn't as good as old UD shadows. I have some of their older palettes and without primer I could wear them all day without any creasing or fading, while with the new shades they crease after a few hours and sometimes have to be reapplied (especially the shimmers).

Not sure about Too Faced shadows, I think I only have one colour from them and I haven't worn it in a while.

If they're super thin and sparse I think the only thing you can do is get them tatted. More and more places have pretty good techniques that make them look real. I think eyebrow extensions are a thing too. Never looked into it because it just sounded weird.

If you have enough hair to shape them, try going somewhere to get them threaded and you can probably just maintain it yourself. Where I live it's like $9 to get them threaded. Maybe less.

Okay, so, my first time ever trying liquid matte lipsticks was a fucking terrible experience. I bought Colourpop's Trap and Lumière 2. I like the colors, but they look absolutely terrible on me because they suck the moisture out of my lips. They make my lips look so cracked and caked. Also, Lumière 2 is a little sticky. I might just be doing it wrong, idk. I was thinking about getting Beauty Bakerie lip whip, but I'm scared to try liquid lipsticks anymore, eveb if they aren't matte, especially since they're so damn expensive ($20 a piece.) Any advice/recs?

No. 46553

Well they're matte so you can't spect them to be moisturizing. I use a lot of lip tint and when my lips are dry they look like I peeled off the skin from my lips and now they're bleeding so what I do when I wanna wear something matte or a tint. I scrub my lips with lip scrub or just plain diy scrub (sugar and water lol) and I put a lot of lip balm for like 7 minutes until my lips feels soft and then I apply the matte lipstick and they look ok!

I have the same problem, my lips are like chronically dry, I apply lipbalm pretty much nonstop all the time and matte liquid lipstick always look like shit on me, BUT I find darker colours are a lot more flattering, and I really like stila's liquid lipstick because it seems to be not sticky at all, kind of chalky in texture.

I've tried a lot of NYX liquid lipstick in the past and its just not as good, kind of sticky like you described the Colourpop and makes them look cracked and caked. Honestly, my Stila liquid lipstick looks like regular matte lipstick.

Does anyone know of any good cheaper (~$10 or less) concealers that offer light neutral/neutral yellow colors? I have been struggling to find any, it seems most light concealers are almost always pink undertones, which look orange on my yellow undertones.

I currently use sephora's gel serum concealer in #1 bavarian cream, but it's a shade too light for me right now, and about $14 for a tube. Similar story with nyx hd concealer in 01 porcelain being a bit too light and both always seem to be sold out.

I also tried kat von d tattoo concealer in light 18. Lovely formula and price for the amount of product but too dark :(

I really loved maybellines fit me concealer formula but damn their pink undertones. I have heard nars' formula is comparable and leans on the yellow side but it's $29 for a tube :(

Majority of the time concealer is my only face makeup, so matching is super important. But it's so hard to find something matching why do I have to be so pale and yellow.

If you wear full coverage foundation you'll probably want to use a lighter shade as it could look like you chose the wrong shade.
It's hard to judge without seeing you. I know I saw a black woman with burn scars that made her face a darker shade than the rest of her body and that's what she did. It looked a bit odd as she put it on but when she was done it looked perfect. Yours is probably not such an extreme difference, maybe ask a clerk when you buy the make up what they think(since they can see your face).

If it's not full coverage foundation then just match it to your face it'll look fine. No ones skin is a perfect same shade anyway.

alright, I have two questions.

first, my skin seems to always be a bit oily, and I seem prone to getting random spots on my face. It's really embarrassing. I have been using a charcoal face cleanser and exfoliant daily, as well as Burt's Bees Rose Water toner, but it hasn't seemed to help at all. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Second, I always seem to have chapped lips. Even when I drink a ton of water, nothing changes. I have used a lib scrub before, but it didn't seem to help much. It's annoying because I can't wear liptick or anything on my lips because it just makes my lips look worse, so any suggestions on this would be super appreciated as well.

I'm not really a skin care expert but I'll try to give you a few tips based off my experience.

First, you only want to exfoliate 2-3 times a week. More than that is too much and going to contribute to irritation/drying, which means more oil. An excess of oiliness generally means your skin needs more moisture. What has been working amazingly for me (I used to have extremely oily skin with occasional pimples) is a gentle hypoallergenic skin cleanser, followed by a lightweight moisturizer, and then a moisturizing sleep pack at night.

The products I've been using are the hypoallergenic Burts Bees face wash, an Etude House face moisturizer (which is more strongly fragranced than I'd typically like; however, it is extremely light, cheap, and the only lotion that doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy), and the Etude House Bubble Tea sleep pack (the black tea one - again, cheap, doesn't leave me greasy and wake up with incredibly soft, smooth skin). I exfoliate a couple times a week with cheap random drug store shit, my skin doesn't seem to care much. This routine has done wonders for my skin - no more oil, no more breakouts, and it's so much softer. I don't feel the need to wear foundation anymore.

Of course you can substitute with other products that work better for you. Hope that helps!

So, I'm looking to buy a new eyeshadow palette. Currently I'm debating between the chocolate bar palette and chocolate bon bons. However I want to get the one that best matches my complexion. I'm very pale (too pale for most foundations) with cool-neutral undertones. My hair is medium blonde and my eyes are grey, if that matters at all. Which palette would be better?

I like bourjois rice powder and, although I usually use a dusting on my cheeks just to brighten myself up, I've used it more heavily as a highlighter before. It's subtle but it gives you a fresh, healthy glow. I don't do a lot of dramatic contouring/highlighting though, so it might not be enough depending on how you do yours. It only comes in a pale pinkish colour too unfortunately.

And my friend once bought a cheap makeup revolution highlighter so she had something to use until her regular one was back in stock and she loved it. She always looks great makeup-wise so I nearly went and bought one out of admiration of her face lol

No. 46624

you should try doing a wedge shape, but with shadow. basically any tone a few shades darker than your skin as a liner, then an even darker shade on the 'outer V.' doesn't need to be a black smokey eye or anything, it's basically like contouring for eyes.

using a high quality shadow with a good base helps the staying power, and it's a lot softer looking than liquid / pencil liner (provided you blend the edges with a flesh tone shade, so it had a blown out look).

I need your help /g/.

I really wanna try red eyeshadow but theres not a single red tone in any of the palettes I've accrued over the years. I fancied getting the new UD Ultimate Basics (legit just for the red, because there are similar colours in Naked2 and basics 2 which I own), but I can't afford that right now. I looked at NYX Full Throttle in Colour Riot but not a single store in the UK does it, and their site doesn't ship to the UK without some long drawn out process that includes you signing up to a site that gives you a US address or something. Then I found the Lime Crime Venus Grunge palette and it'd be perfect but I'm hesitant due to the drama (and it's £25 compared to the NYX $10). Anastasia Beverly Hills Renaissance looks good but I cannot afford that either really.

So tl;dr
- Where to get NYX Full Throttle Colour Riot in the UK?
- Is there any way I can convince myself to order from Lime Crime?

Thank you.

Buying high street isn't too bad, there's lots of decent affordable makeup about now. In order of importance (bar foundation and mascara which are probably top of this list anyway) I'd say;
- Concealer, but that's just because I get dark circles and the occasional spot. I'd reccommend Rimmel Lasting Finish.
- Eyebrow pencil, I was blessed with naturally well shaped dark brows but filling them in with a more brown colour to match my hair hair works wonders. I think I use Rimmel London
- Contour, You literally only need one shade really, my product of choice is currently MUA Mosaic Bronzer
- Eyeliner, Maybelline Master ink in Matte Black

I only properly started playing with eyeshadow and blushes in the last few months, they're really not neccessary. It's more of a hobby than a 'make myself look pretty' thing. Primer and skincare is also v important but if you've got by with just foundation, it sounds like your complexion is fine.

Well, I am a make up minimalist so if this helps, here is what I use when I go out:
After skincare routine:

I use a tinted moisturizor because I have dry skin, without too many flaws, so I only need light/medium coverage. I use bareminerals complexion rescue and I really like it. It doesn't take very much, so despite the cost, I get good mileage out of it plus you can layer it for more coverage.

Then I use glossier's stretch coverage concealer on my dark circles. it's kinda expensive, but it barely takes any to get good coverage so again, good usage out of it.

I use 3 shades of eye shadow: a light light creamy color, a light brown, and a dark brown. I don't like really dramatic looks, so I don't use eyeliner personally, I'll just use the dark brown eye shadow as a kinda eyeliner I guess, the creamy color as all over the eye, and the light brown in the crease/wing.

Finally, I use some mascara.

Basically, I guess my 3 essentials are: a tinted moisturizer, a concealer, a good neutral basic eye shadow set, and some mascara.

Hope that helps!

Can I get any recommendations for dark circles concealer? I've tried loads of liquid concealers, even those brightening ones and none work. It seems that in order to cover the purple/brown (I'm very pale) color I'd have to use the opposite color, right? For a low budget, what would you suggest?

I've always had the best luck with cream formulas. They're more opaque and stay in place. I use a small angle brush so I can cover just the discoloration, and very slightly blend with my finger. Almost like covering up a tattoo.

My number one recommendation would be the makeup forever corrector pallet, but it's not cheap. It's pretty handy to have an orange and a yellow you can mix to get the right shade.

I've had pretty meh experiences with drugstore (elf, that maybelline age defying thing, etc) because they just don't have the level of coverage needed.

another fair olive checking in (the best shade I've ever found to fit me is the NARS RCC in chantilly), it is indeed possible.

Will primer and finishing spray keep my foundation from flaking/caking off during the day? I've never used it before, but I got some Nyx stuff to try. Usually I moisturize before putting on foundation because my skin is dry (I use the IT cosmetics full coverage cc cream) and setting powder after which just seems to make it look cakey even if I use sparingly…and then mere hours into wear it looks SO awful it's unsalvageable, like I just need to take it off and start over again. So I hate using powder, but without it the foundation just slides off my face. It's worse when it's hot.

I seem to get the same problem regardless of foundation tbh, whether it's drug store or high end. I have combo skin that's "rough" and flakey in some areas and the foundation just makes those spots look worse and as the day goes on it flakes soooo bad, like in my T zone and shit.

Usually olives need less "saturated" colors so beiges or warm shades can often end up looking orange even If they are right in terms of "lightness".

go to reddit.com/r/olivemua for help

my veins are blueish green/purple for reference

for base I can't use many brands due to my undertones so I stick to IT cosmetics CC cream in fair. these CC creams are "muted" in terms of undertones so it works.

Most base products look orange on me even if they fit In terms of shade but my undertone fucks it up. Warm foundations turn yellow or orange, cool ones turn neon pink, sometimes cool ones even turn orange on me haha.

I know MUFE makes olive shades and Anastasia Beverly hills has some olive undertones in their stick foundation too

Can you be olive if you're a pasty Anglo?
I honestly have no idea what my undertone is, but I know it's not 'cool'/pink.

I'm a poortherner with NC10-15 skin and ashy dark brown/warm black hair. In photos my skin looks pasty white but irl it can go from yellowish pale to just kind of beige-yellow depending on the lighting. The best example I've found so far for my colouring is the actor Colin Morgan, except my eyes are darker.

Whenever I look at guides online they usually say that the olive undertone is reserved for Mediterraneans, Asians, Eastern Europeans and maybe some Frogs, whilst Brits and the Irish = pink toned, freckly and burn in the sun, which I'm very much not.

So, I have a very strong resentment towards makeup, and I also refuse to spend lots of money on it due to how little I wear it and how much it irritates my skin and eyes.

Should I wear both foundation and BBcream together? I used to do foundation only on necessary spots, then switched to BBcream all over, but I don't feel it gives the coverage I need.

What's a good brow pen or powder that's drugstore price range? I have this Maybelline "master drama" brow pencil and it's shit. Doesn't go on smoothly and is kinda chunky and uneven. I saw something about a Stila felt tip pen that sounds nice but it's way out of my price range.

Anyone who has sensetive eyes or wears contacts, do you have any eye makeup recommendations that don't irritate your eyes? My shadows, liners, and mascaras all burn.

Also I've heard this recommended for dark circles, anyone have personal experience with it?

No. 46743

I would try the Nyx brow products brow gels. You can find them at drug stores and they work pretty well. Also, a really awesome bb cream with a lot of coverage is the Burts Bees one. It smells and feels amazing and really eliminates all the redness I have. Otherwise if you're not getting enough coverage from your bb cream switch to a nourishing primer + fuller coverage foundation.

As far as products that won't irritate your eyes, what have you tried? I'm thinking for drug store brands Physicians Formula stuff will probably be your best bet because they have gentler formulas that might be easier on your sensitivies. There are higher end brands that are totally vegan and all natural such as Tarte but I can understand if you aren't trying to spend a lot of money.

All I've been hearing is that the quality isn't that great and it's basically the same as last years. Buy one of their permanent palettes instead, or see if you can track down one of the big 2013/2014 holiday palettes. Maybe I've been watching too many anti hauls lately but they all seem to feature the too faced holiday stuff. If you already have something similar don't waste your money with something of inferior quality. Also are you going to use something so christmassy all year round? Think about if you'll still want this stuff in June, or will you still want to use it next christmas or will you want next year's set?


Sidenote: Am I the only one who thinks too faced has gone way downhill in the past year or so? Like they keep releasing gimmicky products like the peach palette or the rehashes of the chocolate palette but their quality isn't as great as it used to be? I have their holiday set from 2014 and it's great, I don't reach for it much anymore but in comparison their new stuff looks like gimmicky crap. I don't care about the owners dog,I don't care about the gimmicky smell, I don't care about the youtuber's name attached to it. I care that the products are good and original, lately they haven't been imo.
I don't know if I've just grown out of the brand but I can't see why anyone over 15 that has nice would buy this stuff? The pretty boxes are just going to get thrown out anyway. Even with my 2014 set I kept it for a few months then it got dented on my shelf and I threw it out.

If one's pink and the other is yellowish, decide based on your undertones. If the makeup isn't an exact match to your skin colour, match it to your undertones to make it less obvious and easier to blend. You can get away with minimal difference but a pinkish face when you have olive skin or an orange face when you have rosy skin will make it stand out more.

For eyeliner it depends on the look you're going for. I just use liquid eyeliner though, whether I'm doing a simple line or a wing. If I want to put eyeliner on my lower lid I just use black eyeshadow (carefully).

A blurring or pore-covering primer under foundation will minimize your pores and imperfections under your foundation. MAC is really expensive and there are plenty of other options to try that are cheaper, even in the drug store range, if you can find your shade. If you're trying to find a good foundation just go into an Ulta or Sephora and have them color match you and figure out the best foundation for your skin type and amount of coverage you're looking for.

Maybe you could try the "Dollish Pearl Eye Liner" by Lioele?
I think it's a tad bit more intense than the Tear Drop Liner, but it looks quite pretty and similar, and i've personally never had any problems of irritation with Lioele products.

Also, like >>55091 said it could be you bought a fake one, or a misproduced one. I've had to throw out stuff that irritated my eyes, only to repurchase it and it working fantastically again with 0 irritation, you could try repurchasing it in a different store or something.

Maybe try using a different smoothing primer on your nose area? (Benefit Primed and Poreless, Illamasqua Hydra Veil etc)

I have the same issues, no primer has ever really fixed the issue, drug store or high end.

The only thing that doesn't make me look "crusty" is 1) not using setting powder, at all and 2) avoiding matte foundations. This sucks because I have combination skin and between oiliness and sweat I tend to slough off my foundation within hours. I just have to carry some with me and reapply. Nothing else I can do. But I take that over crusty foundation.

I've always had problems with my makeup creasing and looking bad under my eyes like in the "before" pic. (I have a lot of wrinkles too)

I moisturize my the area under my eyes, drink 1.5L+ of water daily, go to the gym and have a good diet, blend with a sponge, use minimal powder tried using primer/moisturizer and without but it still ends up looking really really cakey. And applying one coat simply doesn't work because the under eye area is do dark.

Why would you call an orangey shade cool bone?! Us pale pieces of shit just can't get no love.

No. 55345

No. 55349

>>55345
Yeah, my undertones are definitely cool toned so "porcelain" shades seem to match best, but EL didn't have any labeled that. I figured something called cool bone would be cool toned but…guess not.

So while I'm at it, foundation reqs for pale people with combination skin? I stay away from matte foundation because it makes me look crusty as hell in my dry spots. If there's something out there with a similar finish to EL Doublewear but with a better range of colors that'd be great. I was thinking of trying Toofaced Born This Way or Fiona Stiles Luminous Foundation Concentrate.

Things that have made me crusty or too orange: IT CC cream, Urban Decay Naked Skin, KVD lock it tattoo foundation.

Youtube has a few ultra-fair-skinned swatch videos, that range from cool, warm, yellow, sallow, ect ect. The other thing I would say is to use a full cover, but not too much. Concentrate on evening out the discoloration around the center of the face (cheeks, nose, chin, between the brows) and feather it out towards the edges of your face. By the edges it should almost disappear completely into your skin tone. Saves product and looks more natural than having a mask on your face, looks more natural/youthful.

Ghost person here.

I finally found a solution that works for me : buying some not too shitty but easily found foundation (the ones that are usually one/two tone too dark for me) and mixing it with dreamtone by manic panic.

It takes a little time to mix it correctly and get the right shade but I find it a really good (and cheap) alternative to buy a costly foundation not sold in my country.

Dreamtone cost me like 10€ (and hourray, i can ship it from uk to my euro-hole) and it doesn't take a huge amount to lighten the foundation.

I'm pretty happy.

I just wanted to add, Toofaced Born This Way is a really nice foundation and comes pretty pale (snow). It's not WHITE white if that's what you need, but snow is pretty pale and will suit a cool-neutral person. It's probably my favorite I've used in awhile. I resisted going to it because I feel like Toofaced anything is grossly overrated; their eyeshadows are really bad nowadays and feel like drugstore tier while being so overpriced.

I have two foundations, one that works perfect with my type of skin (Artdeco Long lasting foundation oil-free) which is sadly too pink-ish for my face and on the other side I have the "Stay Matt but not Flat" one of NYX which shade Ivory is quite perfect for me but the type of this foundation makes me after a few hours shiny af, which is gross and just doesn't work with oily skin.

I could link you to some but it's probably a better idea to google stuff about finding your undertone. Most people are cool, warm or neutral.

A little bit of liquid foundation mixed with moisturizer applied on red areas and blended out looks good. Not whole face.

Getting the skin to improve has been the biggest issue. Every time I wash my face it just dries the fuck out again. God forbid I shower with hot water before work, I stay dry and red for the next 3h.

Til now I tried using natural solutions such as hemp balms, then random Slovene brand creams for dry skin and DrogerieMarkt moisturizers. Since it got worse from age 24-25 I decided to ask here b4 I spend more money like an idiot.

Yes, I've been using Garnier's (Miracle Skin Perfector) BB cream and Essence Cover Stick corector for quite some time. Not trying to be cheap, it just did me best, even if it's far from perfect and I didn't know how to pick up different make up so every experiment just failed. I agree with you completely on going light with make up.

Thank you (both) very much for answering entry lvl idiotic questions, I really do appreciate it.

I need advice:
Lately, my make up has been starting to just melt from my face after a few hours. I'm using a primer, a setting spray and a setting powder but my stupid mixed skin has been getting super oily around the nose and everything just… Melts. I'm only using a camouflage concealer and the benefit Hello Flawless powder, I don't know what to do anymore.

Excuse my dumbassery but what brand is the concealer? Is it oil or water based?

I have a lot of problems with melty makeup around my nose and forehead and weirdly enough I actually found my setting spray was making it worse- or the way I applied it at least.
Now I spray it on my brush and buff my makeup on with it and the foundation holds much better.
It seemed to do something weird, like change the consistency of my foundation when I sprayed it directly onto my face. Idk, worked for me.

As always, the best thing us oily people can do is make sure our skin is being cleansed properly at a high ph and moisturised well so it's not over-compensating for oils. When i skimp on my skincare routine my makeup looks disgusting after an hour.

I recently bought their lightest shade with a neutral/warm undertone (I bought the shade pearl - the only "lighter" shade has pink undertones which are usually gross).

It's too dark for my skin. I don't think they're a brand that's very friendly if you've got a vampiric glow going for you.

The formula itself was nice though - packaging was beautiful as always

>>any makeup tips on how to look somewhat natural/girlish?

Like in the pic your posted, brown makeup looks much less harsh than black (I know it's logical, but most people still only wear black eyeliner, black mascara etc).

You can also try some white eyeliner along your lower waterline and some contouring around your nose.

For lips, I'd recommend trying a makeup app on your phone. Some apps (like the Sephora app I think?) let you test what makeup from certain brands will look like on you so if you find one that looks nice, you know the brand and shade already (if it's expensive, then just search "____[name of brand + shade] dupe" in Google for similar, cheaper shades). I look shit with dark lipstick too and these apps helped me sooo much!

If you really want to look more feminine, you can also try some circle lenses like the girl in the pic is wearing. They can look really natural on brown eyes, not so great on lighter eyes though.

>>I would also appreciate hairstyle tips to look more feminine (maybe side bangs? what looks "soft")


I personally think straight across bangs, with some gaps like in your pic is really feminine and cute. Taking your hair 1-2 shades lighter will brighten your features and feminize you further.

Good luck anon, and your English is great so no worries!

it's the same old story: many men think women who are wearing 'way too much' makeup are hiding something. or that they look like clowns. my younger sister has a beautiful purple lipstick and had guy friends say they didnt like it (but she wears it almost everyday during daytime so maybe thats why).

maybe bolder colors are more obvious. also, heavy makeup is still associated to sluts.

i grew up in a very religious household and even though wearing makeup was fine, darker colors were seen as slutty (that also included nail polish), but thats a super oldfashioned christian mentality. i guess most men DON'T really care about lipstick color as long as it matches your skin tone and make you look better.

I have that, and it's pretty good. The shimmer in the "shimmery" shades doesn't show up, but when it comes to colors I prefer mattes. The rightmost column is the weakest, the shades there are pretty patchy/unpigmented, particularly the lavender and the yellow, but a white base fixes that prettty well. The red in the top left corner isn't actually red either, which bummed me out a little, it's more like a berry shade. Overall I like it since it's not very expensive and functions really well compared to maybelline or w/e, but it's not perfect.

On mobile so can't ctrl f, but two days ago I got the KVD lock it foundation, and I'm having such a hard time with it! I'm used to the studio fix fluid from mac, and realized pretty quickly that you need FAR less product with KVD. I'm seriously pale, with pink undertones, and got the 41. I love how for once in my life the shade is just perfect, but I can't seem to figure out how to apply it just right. I've tried with and without primer, with and without the porefessional, tried using my fingers and my beautyblender, but I'm still struggeling. It dries so fast, and is really tricky to blends, plus it sinks into my pores, and rubs off if I so much as look at my hands. Any tips, ladies? It's not cheap and I'd rather not want to waste the whole thing! Saw someone talking about spritzing settingspray directly into it before applying, but that sounds kinda ridiculous. I have combi skin and have made sure to moisturize well before use. Halp!

No. 58344

Yeah, the lock it is pretty thick, one pump is plenty if you spread out it. Honestly its shit on its own but amazing if you use primer + powder. I hated it at first but once I tried out different combos with it I love it now. I use the smashbox primer and set it with a nyx translucent compact powder. The porefessional doesnt really work well with it I find. I also like using my knock-off beauty blender best, are you using it damp anon?

I think eyebrow tattoos are dumb in general, ofc microblading fades over time, but still, you will be stuck with a shape that you can't change for a while.

I don't get the whole "stuck with a shape" unless you like to do more like "cosplay/"alternative" eyebrow looks. You can "change the shape" I think by using concealer and eyebrow products , I don't doubt it's easy to cover up since its not actual hair but just skin. That being said ofc covering this up is more work than shaving your whole brow if you like a totally different shape.

Mine don't look super dark or mega filled in, just follow my natural brow shape and looks like a very "natural" look. I love it because I never liked the look of super instagram-y or mega dramatic brows but now I look like I have full natural brows 24/7.

Gel is just a different experience from liquid or kohl completely. you get more control than with liquid, but it feels creamy unlike some kohl liners. i'll higly recommend you to try the Maybelline Gel Liner, its drugstore so it shouldn't be more expensive than 10 bucks. there are better gel liners from high end brands, but the Maybelline one is the best from drugstore and mid range pricing imo, plus you can try it and if it doesn't work out you didn't waste tons of money.

it comes with a cheap brush, try it with that and if you don't care for the brush but like it, find a better one. most people i know use it with a different brush, but i think the default one is decent.

>uneven flicks

if you don't mind splurging cash you could also try the kat von d tattoo eyeliner for your wings. its a
felt tip eyeliner, so not really a liquid or a kohl or a gel. its the best felt tip liner imo but some people don't like felt tips liners and prefer gel etc.

Okay so, I just bought Tarte's Rainforest of the Sea foundation after obsessively watching a ton of youtube reviews and seeing how beautiful it works for everyone… But it looks like absolute shit on my skin. What the fuck am I doing wrong? It instantly settles into my pores and any dry patches on my skin. And when I say instant, I mean, instantly. I tried applying with an elf kabuki brush as well as a real techniques sponge. I usually only buy cheap Loreal foundations but got sick of how they can look cakey and crackled around my chin. This foundation is $40 yet my cheap Loreal shit looks better.

I don't like to use primers as they all seem to break me out, and I also have a hard time getting silicone based primers out of my pores, I hate seeing how filled up with gunk they are at the end of the day.

After fighting with the Tarte foundation, I washed it all off, then tried mixing it with one drop of Vitamin E oil from a capsule and it applied way better, but still looks a bit shit on my dry areas.

I had such high hopes for this but if I can't figure out how to use it I'm going to have to ship it back for a refund.

I think part of the problem is that its so watery that it doesn't have enough substance to stay out of my pores. The loreal true matte foundation I use is way thicker so it stays above my pores. I did try using the Maybelline studio ready primer (i think its called that) the "blur and smooths" kind, which doesn't have silicone, as I had tried Nyx's shine killer primer and that one broke me out. It didn't help at all, the foundation still instantly went into my pores.

Yeah, that makes sense, I figured haha…I used to be more "alt" and I would shave off half of my eyebrows or more so I could different shapes/colors with them!

the microblading only really lasts 1-2 years and then totally fades away, so at least it's not like you are stuck forever with a shape. I personally just went with my natural shape, so the artist just filled in the spots that were "missing".

The healing is really good so far! they give you two appointments at first, I did my first one around 3 weeks ago. The second one is a "touch up" to get any parts that didn't hold on to the ink well enough/fill in extra if you want it. It's nice this way IMO because then they don't give you a too filled in look since you can decide how much more you want. They used the "darkest" color on me and at first I was worried but it's actually a really nice dark ish brown (but still looks "soft" if that makes sense, not like a sharpie line or something). I have super dark brows so it blends nicely.

It doesn't hurt really, it feels like little pricks at the beginning but then they numb you and you can't feel anything besides pressure. Right after your brow skin is pretty red and irritated and they look super dark (like sharpie haha). It fades/scabs a bit and they fall off in a few days, revealing a much softer color. the scabbing wasn't gross at all, barely noticable.

I'm so much more happy now, since my natural brows are pretty sparce but now I can have "full" brows that look natural and not super drawn on.

Tried the butter glosses and seriously don't understand all the rage about them, i don't know if i got a shit batch or what but they are absolute shit.
They are incredibly sticky and feel very heavy on the lips, all the times i wear them i end up taking them off because i feel like i have 2 kg of product on my lips. They also don't moisturize a lot and wear off very quickly.
The colors and pigmentation are both very pretty though, but there are far batter ones for the same price at the drugstore that feel moisturizing and light.
IMO The liquid lipsticks are very drying on the lips, tho they are very pigmented and last a lot, but i always have to apply a balm on top because if not i get asshole lips and a feel of not having drank water in 7 years, but they are ok for the price.

mac face and body foundation users: how do you apply it?

on the internet, beauty gurus say its best to do it with hands, while the girl at mac told me to NEVER use my hands. she actually did put emphasis on "never". but after using the brush she recommended, i realized with brush it doesn't blend well.

i still use my hands, i do like a massaging motion until i can feel my fingers pulling my skin.

but, i also want to use a beauty blender to achieve that air-brushed look i envy so much.

also, i use studio fix+ powder on it, so mattify and set my face. yes it makes it cakey a bit. but i don't want to buy yet another product, i can't afford it right now. should i stop?

That girl sounds like she just wanted to sell you an extra brush, because with how watery face and body is i cannot see it being applied well with a brush.
In vid related, Mary applies Mac and body foundation with her hand and explains a little why it's best for this kind of foundation (Lisa has also other very informnative videos on how to apply all kinds of foundation).

In the ends, it's personal preference, but if you are searching for an airbrushed look, it's not necessary to use a beauty blender at all.
When i want my skin extra perfect i apply a thin layer of foundation with my hands until it's completly blended and my skintone is even, and then use a moist sponge to even out any weirdness and sink it more to the skin.
Then i proceed to spot conceal any imperfections and avoid using too much product becuase outside of instagram, more product equals more cake to the face.
A good primer would also help inmensely if you desire a perfect airburshed look. And a setting spray too (i like the one from nyx, it has matte and dewy finishes and it's like 6 euros)

In the end, it's personal preference. I like applying my foundation with fingers and a sponge but most people find it gross, so you should experiment until you find what works best for you and not what youtubers /counter girls recommend.

Ah, thanks so much! I love discovering new make-up channels that are different from this new age of beauty gurus. Hmm, I guess I'll get a Real Techniques sponge just to pat it down a bit after applying it with my hands.

Btw, I might be a little late on this but I still wanted to give a quick tip to anyone who might not know: If you're using your hands for both primer and foundation application, clean your hands after applying the primer! It took some time for me to figure this out, the residue of primer on your hands totally messes with the foundation and makes it separate/not go on properly.

As long as you wash your hands and avoid beingtoo rough with your skin, your hands are fine. Try not to pull at your skin. It's just a personal preference what tool you use.

The average non-MUA uses more foundation with a brush than they do with their hands so selling you a brush not only gives them the immediate $$$ but means you have to come back to get more makeup from them too. If you don't like a brush for foundation, ditch it tbh.

1. Work in light, sheer layers when it comes to any application of any sort of cosmetic
2. Keep your face relaxed when applying anything that will alter shape (i.e brows, shadow, bronzer, blush)
3. Know what brushes work for which application and when it makes more sense to use a sponge or hands
4. Understand the fuck out of your skintype
5. Invest in your skin before investing in makeup
6. Double cleanse this shit off at night, a makeup wipe is not enough

What's your skincare routine like, doll? I had this same problem and went to Ulta and asked my brow girl (Only person allowed to do my brows and her makeup is always flawless as fuck so i trust her) what i could do and she told me I needed to exfoliate more. She told me to do it twice a week, more can make the same problem happen.

I don't have the problem at all now no matter what foundation I use unless I put off my skincare too much.

I also got a better moisturizer for my face (I like Clinique's moisture surge) which has helped too.

I find best success with a patting motion when it comes to applying with my hands. Always start with less and add more as you need it. I also found setting it with a powder has really upped the appearance of my foundation compared to before (before it stayed pretty dewey looking which just made me look greasy in bad lighting). Soap glory's powder is nice.

I personally use a brush to apply my makeup but i just used a cheap one that had the right feel i wanted for applying (kinda dense, somewhat fluffy). The only problem i've ever had with a cheap brush compared pricier brushes is they come off the stick part a lot faster because the glue weakens from washing them over time (Same happens with paint brushes and is why you should NEVER soak a brush of any kind). But i just glue em back together and it's fine.

I have one and I really like it as a lip gloss. They are thick and a bit sticky which is what you should expect from a gloss, but they are pretty.

Any tips on how to make my eyes bigger/stand out more?

They're hooded so I always have to be careful with how I apply stuff onto my eyes and lids otherwise it makes them look smaller. I also don't seem to be able to wear falsies because of current eye irritation but eh, it will go away eventually.

And how do I make my face look less greasy? I tired blotting paper and regular tissues but it's not really working. Very light powder maybe?

I also have a greasy face so I'll give my opinions.

I use a mattefying powder however I don't use a matte foundation because it makes my skin produce even more oil. I use a good BB cream instead.

Also invest in hydrating your skin and cleansing oil, these two are helping me a lot with oily complexion. My skin has been drying up nicely and I have less and less zits or blackheads.

About your eyes, you should try wearing very thin eyeliner and white or skin coloured pencil on the waterline. I have tiny eyes and it helps a lot.

Would you recommend the brand kiko for someone who is a beginner at makeup and who doesn't have a lot of money? I've been recommended products from mac by my siblings but it's too expensive for me at the moment and I really want some lipstick and BB cream or foundation.

Speaking of which, I have olive skin, and want lipstick that looks good and is visible without being too flashy. Should I get brown lipstick or something a bit more orange? I have a lip balm that make my lips pink and it looks pretty bad on me.

Believe it or not, you need to concentrate the deeper colors of shadow on your lash line. I start with a light brown from lash line to above the hood, place a deeper brown on the lid only, and smudge a deep brown/black liner on the lash line. Maybe pop a little shimmer in the inner corner. Avoid lining your water line or just line halfway and smudge. You can't do typical light fading into dark across the eye shadow styles with hooded or monolid eyes.

My foundation seem to turn orange a while after applying. I read that that can be caused by your skin, and since I'm not using a primer it might be possible. I want to give it a try before having to buy a new foundation…again.

My skin is oily and it turns my face sliiightly sticky once the oil starts to build up, but powder usually helps.

Most just oxidise no matter what, most I've tried do to some extent, with MAC and L'Oréal being the worst. Just find one that matches you when it oxidises, and if you're light or medium-toned try Korean cushions because they don't seem to, at least not to the same degree.

No. 62176

>>62169
True. Just don't get "matched" at a make up counter if you do go for a new one. They match you skin by going darker instead of lighter, then it oxidizes and you look like an orange in the sun. Best thing to do is swatch on your face/neck area, wait a minute then go outside into direct sunlight to see how much it matches. If you have olive/green undertones pretty much every foundation will look orange on you so use a primer.

Anyone here tried The Ordinary serum foundation? Or the coverage one?
How's the staying power? Does it oxidize a lot? How does it feel on the skin? How does it look on?

I currently use Estee Lauder Doublewear with the nyx white mixer but i'm looking for a more lightweight foundation for summer and this one seems pretty inexpensive and with a great shade range, but i never tried any products from this brand and can only order it online, so i don't know what to expect.

I had to work with it for a good while before getting used to it.

You need a more "lotion" based primer that has some moisture with kvd, avoid silicone or smoothing formulas. The one she sells or hangover rx from too faced are good options. I actually recommend a very dense buffing brush for her foundation. There's a specific Sephora brush called the multitasker that is perfect. Pump a small amount on the back of your hand and pick it up with the brush and apply in smaller circular motions starting in the middle of the face and work out. I sell this shit as my day job so you can trust my advice haha

with regard to naturally shaping them, i brushed my eyebrows in the direction i wanted to train them every morning and night with vaseline and a spooly. worked a charm but actually started working better when i switched to using ultrabalm from lush for it.

I feel like that depends on your brows, but they have a lot of tutorials online

>>makeup tips to look girly and cuter


Try different blush. They have blush palettes, and yeah, blush can make a person look cuter.

Also, remember to curl your eyelashes and add a lighter colored eyeliner to the bottom waterline if you want a "cuter" eye.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by girly and cute, but if you have photos of what you mean then I'm sure some makeup-expert anons can assist you.

>>how do i make my foundation actually cover my skin?


I use Fit Me foundation too lol Have you tried the fit me concealer? It's a great way to get some extra coverage and comes in a skinny plastic tube.

Buuut I also use Bareminerals (powder). I'd recommend it for creating a more natural looking full coverage. Since I also like Fit Me, I guess it's worth a try recommending (You can buy a 1 month sample size online for like $6 btw). Do you use primer btw, as maybe that can help too? More importantly, I'd personally recommend working on a good skincare routine if you don't already have one. The less you have to cover up, the easier it is to wear lower coverage makeup. I generally find that when makeup makes me look worse than before, it's because my skin was too moist (didn't let skincare product soak in enough). I'm not sure your skin type, but if you think this could be your issue then perhaps a mattifying primer could be your solution.

>>Good luck anon!

Agreed. Your eyebrows are on point anon!

If you really want to straighten them though, I'd let your eyebrows grow out (you can use an eyebrow growth serum if you want) and then pluck mainly from the top rather than the bottom. You probably won't be able to achieve exactly the photo, but you can definitely lessen the arch (although, again, your eyebrows are already fine!).

You can carve out with concealer too. I really don't recommend plucking brows into a trendy shape. Your brows are naturally fine and over plucking may ruin them permanently for no reason.

They look good to me anon! Remember, your brows are sisters, not twins. Over obsessing over them looking completely identical leads to over tweezing/over drawing and it just looks off.

The one on the right looks a little more rounded, but tbh that's just if I stare intently at your brows. I'm sure in full face photos it isn't noticeable.

Thank you, I wasn't expecting this. Yeah, my eyebrows were never thick to begin with, but I've spent my teenage years overplucking them because I liked them very thin (I don't know what demon possessed me into thinking that, now that I look back on it), then the thick brows trend started… lol. I'd really like to use a growth serum, if it will help. If they were thicker I would probably be able to shape them differently, nowadays I'm stuck with this shape because I'm terrified of thinning them more than they already are. Thank you again for the kind words!

if you're asking because you want the liquid lipsticks. its nothing to rave about imo. they are overpriced too, because you don't get tons of product in the tubes. not the best formula out there (dose of colors, ofra, and kat von d are formulas that i personally prefer). the lipglosses and toppers and what not i don't know about because like i said, they're lipstick products aren't my favorite.

The credit card issue is only one of many problems with the brand. They purchase cheap wholesale pigments from China and repackage them, they don't post accurate ingredient lists, and they've threatened people who posted negative reviews with libel suits in addition to doxxing them.

I thought that they might have cleaned their brand up a bit in recent years, but one of my friends bought their hair dye and the directions were hilariously misleading. But if you're only interested in cute packaging than I guess it's all okay.

Nah. Even cheap fashion color brands like Manic Panic have more accurate instructions. Lime Crime recommends 1 to 2 hours for more intense results or 30 minutes for pastel colors, which is not at all how processing works. Once the hair penetrates the cuticle (after 30 minutes), it can't become more pigmented. That shows they're selling a product without even knowing the fundamentals of hair coloring. It was also overpriced and patchy as hell.

concealer should not be the same color as the rest of your skin unless you are caking it on. you need to buy a concealer palette/kit that has multiple shades of skintone as well as lavender and green which will cancel out the darker colors. dark circles generally can't be covered by concealer properly and need something to balance the tone.
