New makeup thread because >>45820 is being locked.

Anyone try the new Fenty foundations and are they suitable for oily skin?

No. 72062

I've been using the Fenty foundation for about 2-3 months now - I'm barely at 15% usage. For how thin the formula is, it has good medium coverage and lasting power, especially with sweat. Starts fading around the 8-9 hour mark on my oily skin. I'd say get a sample from Sephora, if they fill up one of those little plastic tubs for you, that'll last you 1-2 weeks.

Anyone else give certain Korean cosmetics a try only for it to be a waste? Some of the packaging is so pretty, but the product itself can be crap. I had that peach loose face powder pictured in the OP and it not only provided zero coverage, but it made my oily skin even more oily and broke me out. Innisfree's lip colors also sucked balls.

I’m a complete sucker for Korean makeup. I know there are some crappy products out there but there are also incredibly high-quality products in beautiful packaging and drugstore pricing that are light years better than some overpriced western crap (that said, I do love Sephora for the most part).

As someone who loves lip products despite having VA-tier lips (RIP) I’m a huge fan of the PERIPERA lip tints. I love the Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tints as well because the colors are absolutely gorgeous and the packaging is pretty, though I feel like there isn’t a lot in the bottle despite its size and it applies rather thinly imo. I have some of the Labiotte wine lipsticks/tints that became all the rage when EXO mentioned them in one of their songs but I have yet to use them a lot. I’ve ordered a bunch of Holika Holika Heartful Melting Cream lipsticks aka pic related because I love deep red/pink berry shades and super creamy formulas. Has anyone else tried any of these?

With PERIPERA it kinda depends on which line you pick - I’m in love with their Peri’s Ink Moist line and being moisturizing they apply very wet/shiny; keep in mind though that they stain after a while so then you’ll need to reapply to keep the shine alive. The original Peri’s Ink tints weren’t as glossy but they were very bright and definitely not matte. The Velvet and Airy Velvet tints are intended as matte but very soft and to fill in the lines of the lip so they look soft and flawless, so definitely not shiny, though I haven’t gotten mine yet so I can’t comment on that. Pic related: the Peri’s Ink Moist tints in all their moisture shining glory.

The Etude House ones were quite sparkly/shiny imo but since they were tints too they eventually just stained the lip and I’d have to reapply for more of that sweet sweet shine lmao. Two of them in particular - Dracula Red and Hot Pepper - had fine hot pink micro glitter in them and were sooooo pretty. Ugh I love them. Those were the ones - especially Dracula Red - I had the most trouble applying evenly, as well as the deepest shade, Vampire Red. All of the shades are absolutely gorgeous and I pray the collection gets to stay. I also got them super cheap on YesStyle for like €3.7 and I’m super happy with them.

I’ll need to wear the Labiotte ones some more before I can be sure put IIRC they’re intended as soft and moisturizing but still pretty matte/subtle so I can’t comment on them just yet.

I’m super excited for the Holika Holika ones! They look amazing and I can’t wait to wear them haha. Apologies for sperging out- though I do stay on topic so I think it should be fine.

Actually not really, I'm poor so I buy korean makeup bc it's cheap, but I read reviews thoroughly before I commit to a purchase.
Ime different brands do different stuff better or worse, but you can absolutely find cheap roadshop HGs depending on what you're looking for. If you're into heavy instagram lips and pigmented shadow looks Korean and high end (Chanel, Lancome etc) brands may not be the place to start looking, but for natural looks some of them are absolutely fantastic.

Innisfree has a ton of nice makeup, most of my HGs are from there:
>eyeshadow primer (now discontinued)
>matte mono shadow #04 brown
>skinny microcara (keep the spoolie when you use it up/it expires and just use it on any other mascara you like)
>no sebum powder/pact
>auto eyebrow pencil in ash brown (one of the few I've found to not be overly warm toned)
>flower lip tint in rose (super MLBB shade if you apply it lightly, I use it to make my top lip a bit fuller and blot with a finger so it looks natural, I also use it as a blusher in a pinch)
>eco fruit tint in orange, a very flattering warm red on my lips
>Ampoule Intense cushion

Other cheapy brand makeup I use:
>It's skin petit pact (great for setting undereye concealer, I keep my innisfree mono shadow, along with some spoolies and tiny brow/fluffy eyeshadow brushes in the bottom compartment, honestly it's worth it just for the tiny compact)
>Etude House eye primer (UDPP dupe with lots and lots of raves on the internet)
>Etude House auto eyebrow pencil (same as Innisfree, really… except I got it for €2,80)
>EH brow mascara (I don't use this anymore, the colours are a bit too warm but it does hold well and a lot of the shades are good for redheads)
>Peripera Airy Ink Velvet in elf light rose (?) or something like that, just a good tint overall though it can look kind of corally bright if you don't have the skintone for it

That's not even going into the cheap as chips creams and other skincare. Honestly as long as you don't buy anything for the packaging alone and stay away from the lowest tier brands like tonymoly (though even those have some good stuff), you can find lots of nice makeup.

The eco flower lip tint is actually what I have and it provides no real color. Its the reddest tube yet it comes out orange, streaky, and comes off super easily. I've found that tinted balms are more my thing. Good to know about the no sebum pact though because I had been worrying about that.

Pls don’t kill me I love too faced lol. Their lip injection extreme is the only thing in the world that helps my dry, peeling lips. I think the only controversial thing is that Estée Lauder bought them and Estée Lauder sells in China, but Jerrod Blandino specifically stated that he would make sure TF continues to be cruelty free. Also, that blush is beautiful if you’re pale and need a light, gentle flush on your face.

I’m honestly so bad about separating my ethics from shopping lol, like for KVD’s Makeup—I hate that she’s uses Christian symbols as names for her makeup shades but at the same time, those are some damn good lipsticks.

Anon, its your money. I don't care what other people spend their cash on and I don't find myself to be morally superior to you either. There are brands that I still purchase, which are controversial, because I realize that nothing is going to change if I alone stop giving them my money. I'm one person. The only thing that stops companies is legislation such as what the EU did with outlawing cosmetics testing on animals, but the battle then quickly shifted to stopping household cleaners from being tested on them as well. Asian beauty is no different. I'm not terribly fond of that kind of pushy, "Don't do this, don't do that" lecturing as its reminiscent of the god awful /r/skincareaddiction.

A lot of the stuff that’s been posted in this thread so far is K-beauty which we all know is sold in China.

If you want a European brand to doubt, you can doubt Kuckian Cosmetics lmao.

However, if you want an American brand to rely on, I do recommend Kat Von D because she is an angry Vegan so you know her stuff will never be sold in China or tested on animals. However, it contains Carmine (a red color made from a specific of bug crushed up), so if you give a shit about bugs you may not want to try her brand.

you guys itt seem to misunderstand something. items being sold in china, isn't the same as brands selling to china. a lot of makeup sold there is bought by smaller import stores, not sold by brand outlets. those items don't go through any kind of testing requirements at all. much like buying items in local stores or online, most big import companies don't have as much red tape as brands coming in, they just need to slap on a valid translated ingredients list, and most of them don't do that either.

I sometimes go through this. I literally only buy makeup most of the time for the cute packaging and hope for the best that the quality is good lol. I will say, Korean BB creams are a godsend. They seem to blend better on my skin without looky flakey/caked. There is usually a pale enough shade for me unlike USA foundations. Even the lightest shade ends up being too yellow-y or too dark. I didn't like that Etude House Cookie blusher. I got light pink and it looks like white powder. it hardly shows. Atleast the puff is cute. The tony moly cat powder pact is really cheap and very effective. Its like a makeup staple for me. I like it for my T-zone or to mattify a bb cream since Korean cosmetics tend to go for the dewy look.

I tried the Tony moly setting spray but i dont really notice a difference. i just bought it for the cute bottle to look nice on my vanity.

Lip tints are amazing btw. My favorite is the Mickey mouse lip tints from The Face Shop. The bottle is cute and its quite pigmented, that only a tiny bit of product goes a long way, so it lasts a long time.

My faveeeee korean product atm is the cushion foundation compacts. They usually come in adorable compacts, and they're refillable. You can even mix and match foundations while still using the cute af compact. I don't know what it is about those sponge pads that come with it, but they're the only thing that blends makeup in well for me. I've tried everything, from brushes, beauty blenders, sponges, fingers, etc. And my makeup would always look streaky, cakey, or just disappear on the applicator all together. But the cushion sponge thing just blends seamlessly and its supposedly anti-bacterial material. Plus in general, Korean makeup tends to have SPF in it and focus on healing the skin rather than solely coverage (which western brands seem to lack)

>>72121

ngl I love toofaced the most out of any western makeup brand; mainly for the packaging lol. But I do find the price to be a bit expensive depending on the product and not worth much. I tried the heart blushes, chocolate bon bon palette, natural love palette, coco contour, better than sex mascara, and peach perfect foundation + loose powder.

the eye shadows are okay, but they have alot of shimmery shades, which can be annoying because they're usually sheer or its just too much sparkle that its hard to build different looks with it. The contour kit was crappy for me, since I'm pale. As expected, it looked too bronze for me and it looked as if i had dirt on my face. The little brush it came with was too thick so it wasn't ideal for contouring thinner areas like my nose. The high lights were shimmery but too sheer. The peach perfect foundation really disappointed me. It looks SO orange on me, and I got the lightest shade called Snow. I had this problem with Mac's studio fix foundation as well. I usually mix it with some sun screen to lighten it up. It does dry very velvety and soft though, unlike mac. The loose translucent powder from TF was okay. It was the same result as any drug store loose powder honestly, just cuter packaging and smells good. I also don't know what to try for a primer. I tried the mac prep + prime, and it is terrible. There's so much glitter in it for some reason. Little green and purple glitter dries all over my face, even after putting a layer of BB cream or foundation. I hate it. The Better than Sex mascara was meh. Its expensive imo, and the brush is kind of weird. I think the formula is what makes it nice, but the brush really makes no difference for me.

I wrote a lot sorry. Idk I'm just rambling here about my personal experiences. I like hearing other people's opinions too.

I feel this! Korean bb creams have been superior to the ones I've tried from around here. Mizon snail bb cream is my favorite and etude house cotton fit is another I'm fond of, but its the only bb by etude that I can use because the mineral ones by them are all too dark and so are the compacts.

I've noticed the problem with western foundations/bb creams (which Fenty actually corrected by being so versatile with their shades and NOT arbitrarily shoving undertones into shades) is that they assume everyone has either yellow or pink undertones. Pink is actually the rarest undertone while yellow is the most common, but there are also people who have neutral undertones and this is massively overlooked.

I've wanted to give blush cushions a try!

And honestly, the only products I've enjoyed by Too Faced are that primer of theirs that comes in the white tube and the pressed powder. Their mascara really isn't that great. I prefer physician's formula jumbo lash in the green tube.

Makeup products cannot be tested on animals by law in Europe. You can guarantee they're cruelty free because testing is illegal. America doesn't have such laws and therefore Americans have to rely on the leaping bunny symbol. The exception is when a product is also sold in China where Chinese law actually requires products to be tested on animals but no decent European cosmetics brand is going to sell in China lol.

I understand I guess. However I'm French and when hanging on CF makeup and fashion FB groups it's a consensus that we can't trust brands which don't have a label, so it's a bit surprising to me americans would trust euro brands easily.
I found this page which explains it better: https://www.crueltyfreeinternational.org/what-we-do/corporate-partnerships/eu-ban-cosmetics-testing

Those labels cost money but there's also the One voice label which is free and that's why I don't really buy Kiko not being able to pay for at least that label. Not sure if the One voice label exists in other countries though.

Pink is actually the rarest undertone while yellow is the most common, but there are also people who have neutral undertones and this is massively overlooked.
I've actually had surprisingly little trouble finding a shade match despite being a neutral, but that could be because it was during the pale olympics on reddit and there was a lot of information coming out about different light foundations. But yeah, in general the fact that everyone is shoehorned into the three broad categories never made sense to me, especially for something as personal and diverse as skintones. It was also super annoying when people decided that everyone that didn't fit into either category "must be an olive", when I didn\t match the description at all, my undertone is just neutral (leaning very slightly warm) and not olive in the least.
The whole thing also gave birth to a lot of bullshit theories like "if you're a redhead, you're most likely cool toned!" (bullshit, an overwhelming amount of redheads I know including my mother are very clearly warm) or any of the stupid American muh heritage pseudoscience stuff like "I'm olive because I'm Italian".

I use the Kat Von D foundation and concealer. I don't need such full coverage but shes one of the only brands i've found who are vegan, cruelty free and fit my skin perfectly (i'm paper white)
anyway i can never get it to stay on my face it always separates and floats around my face to the point where lightly touching my face it will rub off and get everywhere. I've had the same happen with the NYX foundation so it's not just this one. I use primers, powders, setting spray and it just never sticks. I have combination skin, exfoliate and take good care of my skin. I really don't know what to do to make my makeup look less shit.

How much are you using, anon? When I started using her foundation the exact same happened to me and I hated it so much I stopped using it for months. I picked it up again recently and used it over a thin layer of charcoal based moisturiser for oily skin and a layer of Shine killer primer by NYX. then I use the tiniest amount of kvd foundation using a brush from my nose outwards then go over it with a beauty blender. For me this shit needs a brush at first. Then I set it with a shit ton of kvd powder. And I have super oily combo skin.

On another note, anyone have experience with bb creams breaking them out? I have oily skin and finally found a bb cream I love that goes on like a dream and wears great all day. For my whole life since I started wearing makeup, the more I wear the less likely I am to get spots. Like if I go without makeup for a while I'll break out and if I wear it for a few days it stops. And it's not like my skin refreshing itself without the makeup on and "breathing" either ugh it's some dumb shit. But like the bb cream is so fine it really seems to clog my pores and give me almost cysty acne?? I've been putting primer etc under it recently but don't think it's making a difference

Milkbottle white Irish anon here.
My favourites have been Kat von d lock it foundation in porcelain or whatever the lightest shade is, I have to apply it all over with a brush and work it and then beauty blend it so it takes more time than other foundations. The powder from that line is also my favourite I've ever used.
The other I use on a daily basis is NYX stay matte but not flat foundation also in whatever their lightest shade is. I use the hd nyx concealer with it and either nyx hd pressed powder or the kvd powder. The nyx hd loose powder is fucking useless for me.

Idk if you have these brands but flormar does great makeup for pale skin and also catrice does some of my favourite concealer both in nude and colour correcting. Oh and if you're into contouring, the best powder contour I have found for my skin is actually nyx blush in taupe. And I already owned their entire contour palette but this beats that.

I'm currently using Estee lauder DW in Encru+nyx white mixer and like the combo a lot since it leaves my skin covered but dewy and it has a really neutral undertone, but i've read in MA that they changed the formula of EL up so i'm not sure if to repurchase it or change it up. Anyone bought a new bottle with the new formula? Is it really that shitty?

I'm thinking of maybe switching up to YSL teing idole 24 h since i'd like to ditch the mixing it seems to run pretty pale (for reference, i'm around the palest shade of Missha (13), maybe a little bit paler than it) and seems quite luminous.
The only thing that is bothering me before purchasing it is that online the YSL 005 and 010 seem to be paler than the 01 and i can't try it in stores since where i live they only carry the tan shades so idk which one to pick up.

Could I get some advice on BB creams/light moisturizers?

My skin is getting better so I want to stop wearing heavy foundation. I don't get bad acne anymore, just like 3-5 small pimples that seem to be cause by hormones so no big deal. I want something light since it only has to cover a bit of redness.

However, my skin is dry on the cheeks but oily at the T zone and chin. Is there anything I should watch out for? Any recommended EU brands?

No. 75265

I really just want to wear bb cream on makeup days but it clogs my pores so fucking bad because the formula is so fine and gives me barcode wide ass headless spots. Primer in general seems to do the same, I never had this problem as bad when I just wore makeup over moisturiser. Has anyone else experienced these finer products like bb and primers giving you such acne? Is there a bb cream that avoids this? My skin handles heavy makeup extremely well but I just don't want to spend time doing it in the mornings.

nta but western BB/CC cream isn't formulated the same as asian ones. they are usually either more of a sumblock/primer or a full foundation without any of the moisturizing or essences that BB/CC creams usually have. on top of that they generally don't oxidize in the same way so the shade matters. your best bet is to probably try on locally tbh unless some other EU anon pops in…

Some people are not too fond of Avon but I love their Anew Vitale BBcream. It's light and feels sooo soft on skin. Doesn't clog me or cause breakouts. Of course the coverage is minimal but with my red spots it evens out my complexion just fine.
They have another one, from Nutra Effects line, which I use kinda like a foundation. Definitely needs a powder. Heavier but still ok.

No. 75303

I don't see the problem with using Western brands if you're ok with the ingredients not providing any skincare benefits. Most makeup doesn't. And the SPF in BB creams is not going to provide you with the advertised protection with a normal application - you'd have to literally cake yourself in it to get the advertised SPF rating - so if you've got a solid skincare routine including SPF then there's no reason not to use a western one.

I really like the it cosmetics cc cream myself, but the shade range is unfortunately trash. Great if you fit into it though.

I have a problem with eyeshadows. I have very hooded eyes and I feel like during the day, my eyeshadow smudges together. It doesn't crease or anything - it just doesn't stay in its place. For example, if I put a different color in the inner corner of my eye, during the day or like 30min after finishing the makeup the color will have spread all over my lid. It's such a pain in the ass and I don't know what to do about it? My eyeshadows always look so messy.

I've been using the Urban Decay primer potion as my primer, and have always put some loose powder/light eyeshadow on top of it.

No. 75355

As an ex-professional makeup artist there’s not a lot you can do about it. Your eyelids are constantly creating oil, and hooded eyes suffer the worst (for obvious reasons). One tip I can give is don’t put foundation on your eyelids before the primer/shadow, but do blot your eyelids (tissue is fine but Rizla papers are also good). You can also try using post-shave balm as a primer, rather than specialised primer potions that are silicone-based (and better at filling lines than keeping things in place tbh). You won’t get rid of it for good though, unfortunately.

I’m not telling people to put aftershave on their fucking eyelids you retard. Post-shave balm is a light moisture cream which dries slightly tacky, aftershave is a scented liquid. Blotting papers can be really expensive, Rizlas you can get 5 packs for £1, and they’re practically the same thing. There are quite a few professional MUAs that use these tricks. What the fuck is eye tape going to do, stick the eyeshadow to her eyelid?

lol this is some spoony shit right here.


do you even know what eye tape is? the makeup won't be able to spread to the rest of her lids if they are taped because the crease increases the surface area and decreases the amount that the lid folds over onto the rest of it. do you even have hooded lids? you're embarrassing yourself.

also you can get a pack of actual blotting paper for $4.

Samefag but I went away and Googled it, pic related. Firstly this is a droopy lid, not a hooded lid, and how would it stop makeup from moving from the inner corner anyway? The issue is clearly the oil production, not the overhanging lid.

no, the issue is that the oil is getting MOVED AROUND MORE BY CONTACT WITH THE LID, it's not just magically floating around up the lid from the oil, if it moves over onto the lid then blinking is definitely going to move it more. i literally use eye tape myself to prevent this from happening. if her eyes are oily the oil isn't going to move upwards, it will just move down and smear.

asians with monolids use these, just because your pic related isn't doesn't mean that's what they're used for. pic related is my point. with the eye tape it creates more exposed eyelid which helps keep the makeup from touching other areas and would definitely keep it from creeping up the eye.


also only a moron would suggest blotting with products made for cigarettes and not eyes, you think those things are safe? kek.

No. 75371

>>75370
I’m glad it works for you but I really fail to see how her tear duct is touching her upper eyelid and moving her makeup. Not unless she’s creating a rolling wave of oil on her lid. Hence my suggestion to create a tackier surface than she will with a silicone-based primer - the two will just slide on each other, and then her makeup will move no matter where it is on her eye.

They’re sheets of paper with a tiny bit of gum on anon. I’m not suggesting she stuffs them into her tear ducts and lights them. Stop reaching you drama queen.

No. 75374

NTA but don't call yourself a MUA and then suggest people use weird non-makeup shit on their eyes of all places. Rolling papers don't have 'gum' on them either, they're made of cheap porous material.

That anon is clearly saying that yes, the makeup is moving, but why would it move upwards since that's not how gravity works. You sound really defensive when your suggestions are pretty mediocre.

all you need is foundation that matches your skin color (to help even out skin blotches, everyone has that problem), eyeliner (to underline and overline your eyes to make them stand out more, everyone always looks good with eyeliner), mascara (not required, but if you want long eyelashes) and some lipstick or lip gloss.

I would start out with drugstore makeup

I can recommend you maybelline fitme or rewind concealer, then I would buy a brown or black eyeliner pencil (rimmel scandal eyes has a cool waterproof one). Then you might like a basic eyeshadow palette which should be easy to find. Buy a mascara of choice and a few drugstore brushes (like eco tools or real techniques).
That's all you need to start out I think. >>75447 is right, you don't need 2 layers of foundation and alot of contour

I recommend NYX and Milani and definetly go see sales from different websites.

What look are you going for? There's no point to give you only generic products.
Do you want to start using makeup on the daily, a heavy look, a very natural, a Scandinavian low maintenance makeup?

If you don't know, I say start with concealer, some powder, mascara, a liquid eyeliner and an eyebrow pen. For cheap but good brushes I'd use Real Techniques and Ecotools. Foundation is not something everyone likes or needs, for example my skin is very even toned and I prefer to just use small amounts of concealer if I have dark under eyes and just powder my whole face instead.

yeah but >>75463 is right, the other anon's advice wasn't any good. You don't underline your eye with an eyeliner if you don't want to look like a trailer trash. Maybe OP anon has a good skin, but if she wants to use foundation, she gotta set it. And mostly everyone looks better with filled in eyebrows, even bushy brows are often uneven or have weird spots that beg for a pencil.
OP, >>75463 gave you solid advice, I recommend the makeup set she chose for you. Master the basics and from there you'll manage yourself. Have fun.

No. 75478

>>75445

Buy some foundation that matches your skin color and type. Some powder to use with it.

Then you can buy a cheap palette. There are a lot of drugstore options. Mascara, eyeliner, lipsticks, contouring powder, blush. That can be all found on drugstore for relatively cheap price and good quality, if you research good things. Search for Youtube videos on cheap but good stuff. I'd start with foundation and powder because that's the base of your canvas.

Lately I’ve stopped wearing eyeliner cause I find you can see the shadow a little more since the liner usually covers that tiny sliver that can be seen….
However, because my eyelids are pretty much non existent they’re also very oily?? They’re dry also so it’s driving me nuts. My shadow primer dries them out and the oil makes the primer useless, but without primer the shadow is gone in like an hour. Wtf do I do to get healthy eyelids that eyeshadow will stick to lol

Use eyeshadow right near your lashes and blend outwards in an almost horizontal way before blending upwards towards your brow. Blending outwards gives you a little more visible space to work with because you can move off of your lid in a natural way; you'll be working on outside edge of your eye socket, basically.

Normal rules apply: lighter eyeshadow colours near your inner corner and darker eyeshadow colours near your outer corner.

Mirror what you've done on your top lid beneath your lower eyelashes, but on a smaller scale. This sort of tricks people into thinking they can see the colours on your top lid because they match what they can see beaneath your eye with the glimpses of the top of your eye, is that makes sense.

Pic related is kind of what I mean. In the picture she's used a couple of brown shades but you can do it with whatever shades you have available and it'll have the same effect.

>>75986
You might need to switch primers just to see if it's the product.

If it's not the product, prep your eyes with a makeup wipe (fragrance and alcohol free) and then apply a moisturising gel meant for oily skin in lieu of a primer. Gel is more mattifying than lotion or cream. Apply the gel all over your eyelid, right up to the brow, and dab a little underneath your eye too.

I've used 100% aloe vera gel on oily lids before and you do have to get used to using it but it is pretty effective.

Any farmers here have lash extensions? I have mild trich that's mostly triggered by wearing mascara as I have the urge to pick it off, which is obviously not good for my lashes. I don't do this when I'm not wearing mascara, and even though I have long and thick natural lashes I hate the idea of doing makeup without mascara or some kind or something like that, it doesn't look right.

I've had lashes once, very convenient if you like natural eye makeup, but if you usually do it heavier, you'll have a problem. That's why I took mine off, I just missed eye makeup. Removing makeup, remover itself, or even oils from eyeliner etc can trigger lashes to fall out quickly, so here's that.
My natural lashes were a bit weaker than usual, but in a month or two they were back to normal. It's hair like any other, it will fall out and grow again, so you don't have to worry too much. I know people who stopped wearing extensions after a year of nonstop refilling them and they're okay. Some even say it's good because you don't put makeup on your lashes and they can regenerate from daily mascara, but I wouldn't go this far.

I wouldn't recommend them for someone with trich because extensions are oddly satisfying to pull out. My friend doesn't pull her natural lashes but when she had extensions, she pulled them all out in like 2 weeks.

I have seen women with bushy thick brows who looked good and feminine and who don't suit thin eyebrows but I have also seen others who look awful with them.

For the skin it depends on how good your skin is but you have to create an even base and from the picture it looks like she set her face makeup with powder. If you have even clear skin you could just use a very light coverage foundation and if you have blemished uneven skin maybe a medium coverage and concealer. Her eyebrows seem lightly filled in and brushed upwards. The eyeshadow is a brown shade applied all over the lid but mainly concentrated in the outer corner and slightly extended outwards and she has some of that brown shade on the lower lashline. She has a peachy blush on the apples of her cheeks and a muted pink balmy lipstick.

Anons with oily skin, I recently started using the garnier micellar water for combo to oily skin as well as the micellar face wash, a face foam and toner, all the same line pic related. My skin stays matte all day without being dry and it's my first time in months waking up with no new acne.

In mine as well; my friend had the one for normal skin and she warned me about it since it made her break out like hell.
Some time later i still got it (the pink one for sensitive skin) and it worked really well for he first few weeks/months. Then suddenly i started getting all these little pimples all over my face, it was itchy like hell and when i stopped using it my skin went back to normal.
But maybe they have different formulas in different countries?

Where do you buy your brushes? I was looking for cheap ones on Amazon but I'm not sure about the quality and it's the type of products that arrives 1 month after ordering it so I'm hesitating between buying online (cheaper) or buying in a store directly (more expensive but more convenient). I need brushes for liquid foundation, setting powder, blush and highlighter. I'm not sure if it's worth buying several brushes for eyeshadow, since I have the one that comes with the Naked 2 palette and another one as well.

Honestly, my favorite eyeshadow brushes came from Aliexpress. It was only a few dollars for a pack of five or six and they're so soft and work just as well as any brush I've gotten from Ulta or Sephora.

If you don't want to gamble on brushes from China, Elf has a wide variety of brushes for dirt cheap. I use their angled blush brush every day and I love it. Elf can be hit or miss though… most of my brushes from them are fine, but the metal part of my C brush got loose somehow and now it wiggles around whenever I try to apply eyeshadow, which really annoys me.

Real Techniques is more expensive but great quality too, and their sponges are great if you use those. I've also heard good things about the Wet n Wild brushes but I haven't tried them out myself.

I just got a new bare minerals foundation and as much as I love how it looks on me, it comes off rather easily. I would use a powder but I already have dry skin and this typically gives me the "cake-face" look even when I moisturize and prime my skin. Would a setting or translucent powder still give me the same effect,or should I just avoid touching my face?

I feel you anon. I have oily skin and a propensity to seborrhoiec dermatitis flares.

I use the biore UV milk sunscreen as it dries to a matte finish with a velvety "slip" texture, it's a sunscreen and primer in one. The other thing is to use blotting powder instead of powder for touch-ups - removes oil and doesn't add more product that will inevitably settle into lines. Another trick is using tiny amounts of eyeshadow primer in the areas that foundation sticks to, it's designed to seal powders so holds it quite well.
just make sure you blend it properly

yeah, this problem occurs when i'm blending the foundation and buffing it into the skin. :( it doesn't happen all of the time and is only visible in sun light, but i don't wanna look dry and cakey in any lighting. i tried using a foundation brush by elf today and it didn't give me the result i was looking for, but i'm going to try again tomorrow when my skin is still the slightest bit glossy from the product i use to moisturize. i think my skin might have been just a bit too dry upon application today, and caused the brush to tug at it in a bad way.

Ayrt, I'm back. This is the one I'm using (because the brand has another powder and the package looks very similar but I don't know if it's the same product), it's loose powder. You can put it to set your foundation, or even before (there's the Goss method, video related, apparently putting powder after moisturizer and before foundation helps the makeup set better). Pat and press with the cushion to set the powder into your skin, if you have oily/combo skin it will help you a lot. This Innisfree powder lasts many hours on me, and smells good too!
I also happen to have pale skin, after years of trial and error with many western brands I've recently bought my first Korean foundation to see if it's true that they're "really pale". I have the Missha M magic cushion but I have to try it yet so I'll make an update later if you want. I'd also tell you to avoid Mac foundations, they're expensive and thick as fuck, they even broke me out a lot and I've seen this is a common issue with that brand.
I'm a beginner too with makeup, I'm learning thanks to these youtubers, which are actual extremely skilled makeup artists:
-Wayne Goss (his videos are around 5 minutes and straight to the point, he hates the instagram makeup and prefers more natural looks)
-Charlotte Tilbury (for more complex makeup looks, her looks tend to be more glam but not instahoe-tier either)
-Lisa Eldridge (for basics, she's very good at explaining and her acne coverage video has helped me a lot)
Hope this helps!

I absolutely adore the ELF baked highlighter and it's only three or four dollars! I use the shade Moonlight Pearls and it looks wonderful on my very fair neutral toned skin. They also have a pinker shade and a yellower shade.
It's a really subtle but pretty glow, I hate the super "wet" looking highlighters and I wear a more natural everyday look so the ELF one is perfect. You can build it up for a more dramatic look too.

If you do get it, remember to scrape the top layer off with a knife or something. For whatever reason there's some hard layer on top and if you don't scrape it off the product barely shows up. But once you scratch off that first layer, it's perfect.

Has anyone else had serious skin problems with Kat Von D's makeup? She's the only brand I've tried that actually makes a powder concealer that fits my skin tone and actually provides the coverage I need, but man, I break out whenever I use her stuff! and the packaging is so cheap, both her liquid foundation bottle and her studded lipsticks have fallen apart on me. I wear a cool neutral because although I have yellow undertones I do a goth look so the cool undertones in her face makeup helps me immensely with my full-faced makeup looks. If anyone has any recommendations, or maybe had the same problem and found another brand that had comparable colors but without whatever weird ingredients she uses to make it so…troublesome for the skin, let me know. Im kind of interested in Fenti, since they offer so many diff skin colors.

Honestly without knowing what your face looks like it's hard to say. Make up is about emphasizing what you like about your face and hiding imperfections. Figuring out that stuff is sometimes half the battle and you might not really know what you like without experimenting. Like… I can't do a halo eye because my eyes are too close set. It sucks, but my features just don't allow for it and I know this because I tried it once.

I'm broke so I use mostly drugstore makeup.

Bourjois Healthy mix serum (foundation)
Bourjois Healthy mix concealer

I have a very round face and no cheekbones so I don't contour, I only highlight a little, blush gives me enough definition imo.

Nars Orgasm + L'oreal Accord Parfait Blush in pêche.

The balm mary lou manizer. (highlight)

Most days I only wear mascara and a bit of liner on the outer corner of my eyes.

Maybelline total temptation is my absolute favorite mascara, it makes my lashes look super fluffy and long and it smells delicious.

Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in brown or purple.

Lately I've been going completely bare faced or just wearing mascara, concealer under my eyes, eyebrow gel and lip tint over a balm. I feel kind of exposed when I'm wearing a full face. I enjoy the process of putting it on and I do like how it looks on me but I always feel more visible with it on in public and I don't like that.

>Skin


Primer :Nyx Angel Veil, Benefit Porefessional or a mix of the two on different parts of the face
Color correction: Urban Decay pink color correcter under eyes
Foundation: I've been skipping foundation lately because I'm finally kind of happy with my skin but I like Lancome teint idole or Rimmel Match perfection.
Concealer: Two shades of Urban Decay naked skin, one for under eye highlight and one for spot correcting.
Powder: Set undereyes with Catrice loose powder. Occasionally I'll let it bake, usually I just set it normally. Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder on the rest of the face.

Tools: A dampened regular sized ecotools sponge if I'm doing foundation, a mini one for under my eyes and a real techniques bold metals powder brush

>Cheeks


Blush: I have a billion different ones but I reach for Benefit Dandelion most often.
Contour: Nyx Taupe or Catrice Prime and Fine in Ashy Radiance
Highlight: The balm Mary Lou Manizer or something from the original makeup Revolution Highlighter palette. There's a gold in it that works on my relativity pale skin which is nice.

Tools: RT bold metals blush brush, elf blush brush for contour, RT setting brush for highlight

>Eyes


Primer: Catrice prime and fine eyeshadow base
Shadow: I skip eyeshadow a lot because my eyes are a weird shape and getting makeup to look decent on them is a struggle. I do a lot of warm toned smokey eyes or very basic two shadow looks. At the moment I'm using the Makeup Revolution Iconic Division palette (abh subculture dupe) and their 1 Million pallete that I got as a freebie.
Liner: Usually Clio eyeliner pen. I have a bunch of colorful Essence pencil liners I like to play with too. There's a gold one I really love.
Mascara: Essence Lash Princess in the pink tube. Wasn't crazy about the green one. I got a mini Benfit Bad Gal Bang free with a magazine yesterday and I really liked the original so I'm hoping I'll like this one too.
Brow Pencil: Nyx microbrow
Brow highlight: A smidge of WnW brow highlight

I haven't figured fake lashes out yet but they can look really nice when done properly and I have pretty small eyes so I want to learn.

Tools: a mix of RT, wet n wild, elf and ecotools brushes

>Lips:


I think liquid lipstick/ overly lined lips kind of age me so I've been avoiding them lately. I really like lip crayons and tints, or even a regular bullet lipstick applied more like a tint. Currently in roatation are a lancome matte tint, some peripera ink velvets, a clinique chubby stick and a few essence matt matt matt bullets.

Once I'm done I set everything with one of the nyx setting sprays

I tend to stick to natural makeup with maybe a wing every once in awhile, and I hate foundation. So my routine looks like:

>Face

Loreal Baby Face primer
For eyebrows I use Nyx Micro Brow Pencil in Black.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Cannelle or Tarte Tape Shape in fair neutral on days that my undereyes are really dark.
Set the concealer with the Tarte setting powder I got in my Ipsy bag recently — I'd love some setting powder recs, ladies! I'm running out of my big one from It Cosmetics and my boyfriend is taking me to Ulta for my birthday this week.
Ulta blush in Princess.
I've been using this highlight I got in Ipsy bag this month but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called — it's a good dupe for Champagne Pop, though.
To contour I use Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in either Deep or Sunkissed depending on the day or how tan I am.

>Eyes

I have almond-shaped, slightly hooded, dark chocolate brown eyes. Since I like a natural look, I go for:
Urban Decay eyeshadow primer in Eden.
"Raw Sienna" from the Modern Renaissance palette in my crease.
"Golden Ochre" from the same palette all over my lid.
Nyx Epic Ink Liner in black winged out modestly — I can't do thick Lana Del Rey wings with the eye type I've got.
I use Elf's eyelash curler.
Loreal Lash Paradise mascara in black.

>Lips

Lipstick is one of my favorite parts of makeup. I recently ran out of my all-time favorite everyday lipstick, Lime Crime's Riot. I've been using Wet & Wild's Give Me Mocha in place of it since it's a decent dupe for a quarter the price.
If I want a red lip that day, Sarafine by ABH has been my favorite for years.
I'm not a big fan of lip liner, though I understand why people love and swear by it.

It doesn't have all day staying power but it lasts for quite awhile. Tbh I just really like the feeling of applying lip products so I inherently just do it a lot. But when I don't the chapstick helps the liquid lip from flaking off and keeps the color a lot more even imo

I have the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and I don't know how to use it. I don't think the colors even suit my skin tone and I should have bought the Naked 3 palette, but that aside. I feel like I'm not good at applying it because sometimes the colors don't show up all that much on my lids or I make a mess because of how I use the brush that comes with the palette. I'm not sure how to explain this. If anyone has advice like which colors goes well together or whatever I'll take it.

If you google 'Naked 2 Palette looks' you can find a good number of different color combos. The brush that comes with the palette is really only good for packing on color, not dispersing it. It's also really hard to create looks with only one brush. You should get a blending brush.

No. 85720

Do you use a primer on your eyes to help with the colors? I’ve noticed a big difference when I apply eyeshadow. If I really want the colors to show and pop I have to use a primer. Makes application a lot easier too.

I don't use primer, I've seen that using concealer instead of a primer of eyeshdaow can do the trick so I've always done that and it works better with concealer than with nothing at all.

My friend has one in Paris and it kinda looks like regular glitter and not that pigmented. We agreed that it's better used on top of other eyeshadow, because it's so sheer on its own. Maybe you could pack it on real tight and it will look cute, or it could potentially look more like this swatch if you have dark skin, it isn't that great on lighter tones. Maybe she got a bad batch or it's only one shade that's acting this way, but I honestly doubt it.

i can't recommend any specific beginners ones because i'm not really clear on what you want. if you'd give some more detail on what you're hoping to achieve like, length, fullness, OTT glam looks, i'll definitely help! also let me know where you're located so i can get a good idea of stores in your area, it helps to look at lashes in person because photos can be deceiving.

what i can do is highly recommend getting eyelash tweezers, they make applying the lashes so much easier! also get a good quality glue, never use the glues that come in the pack, they're usually bad and too old to stick well. DUO is pretty good, but i use DUP, which is a japanese brand. no matter what brand you choose get pic related with the little brush rather than the squeeze tube. much easier to use.

That’s because there isn’t set rules as to what brush is exactly for what job. We’ve all been in a pinch and used something unconventional to get the job done, it’s more just guidelines. A good rule of thumb to go by is if the brush has more densely pack bristles you’d use that to pack things on (eyeshadow, concealer, lip products, etc) where as a brush that has bristles that aren’t as tightly close together (fluffy) you’d use to sweep things on/off (blending eyeshadow, adding cheek color, setting powder, etc)

farmers with eyelash extensions: what eyeliner and mascara do you use on your lashes? I know we should be using water based for both but I want some recs.

the girls who do my lashes tell me not to wear mascara at all but likeee… my eyelash extensions are beautiful but they're not over the top or even super bold (I like it that way, I'm glad they look natural) but sometimes I want a lil extra boost that a layer or 2 of mascara gives. I usually only use it towards the end of my 2 week lash cycle before I go get them filled in

also, is it possible to use falsies on top of your "natural" lashes when you have extensions? or does the adhesive fuck up your extensions? I haven't ever tried it but again sometimes if possible I would like to have that super fake, dramatic look that false lashes give. but if it's going to fuck up my extensions I won't do it

Same here. I do think it can look good on girl's with striking beautiful features like Emilia Clarke or super models.

I think it's because my face is small and chubby idk, and I have a small forehead, I suit just slightly thinner and tapered brows. Also plucking a few hairs at the bottom front of your brows can help you look less mean

I tried them all for a month, then narrowed it down to Ipsy.
Birchbox didn't send me a single item I was interested in. They seemed to use it more as a method of advertising what they had in stock for sale at the moment, and that's really not what I wanted. I wanted to try new stuff, not be sent what they had overstock of and advertised at about the better stuff.
Sephora sent me one out of five items I liked, so I kept it for a couple months and it kind of stayed in that range. But then I had a billing issue and couldn't get it fixed despite my best efforts (it wouldn't let me change the address) so I canceled.
Ipsy I had to wait several months for it to start because I refused to post on social media just to get what I'm fucking paying for, but ended up being best IMO. I liked that sometimes they would include things like brushes and regularly sent me skincare stuff like sheet masks, trial sizes of expensive products like Glamglow and Dr Jart, and things like hair heat protection spray.
But after about a year with Ipsy, I realized I had twelve highlighters (which I rarely use), eight tiny aerosol cans of dry shampoo and twelve little bags that I just couldn't bear to throw out.

I'm pale as fuck and I was terrified of bronzer for years because the most common shades in the cheaper brands were too dark on me. Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soliel and Benefit Hoola Lite are both good. Maybelline Fit Me Powder in 310 is a pressed powder for darker skin but is supposed to be a good dupe for the Benefit one.

Don't try to contour with it though. Contour shades should be cool/ashy and bronzer shades should be warm. I know some people do both at once but I've never figured that out and just do one at a time.

I have nasolabial folds, and every couple of months someone on here asks if there’s any sort of product to lift them, only to be met with ‘fillers’ as the across the board answer. But honestly I’m not about to do that to myself and have to rely on those for the rest of my life. So I’ve been trying out some skin care products and I’m coming back to let you guys know what I’ve deemed the holy grail. As reference, my smile lines started out pretty visible even without makeup, and now I can hardly see them in the mornings. I recommend a few things including taking fish oil, eating healthy, using Micellaire water over makeup removers, but mostly, Sunday Riley’s Good Genes. I’ve been doing all of these for only about 3 months and have noticed a severe difference in my nasolabial hell. Sephora offers a sample kit with good genes, so I’ve been buying that rather than pay full price, because I’m a brokefag. I think it mainly works because it’s a low dose of lactic acid. Anyway hope I can help out a depressed anon or two.

then why does it change with age….bone structure from 20 to 25 doesn't seem to change much but skin texture certainly seems to. i know some people have very visible nasolabial folds even when they're really young, which is from bone structure, but most people barely have them until their skin starts to age. you're saying that's bone structure too?

no, because you get old everything in your body and face starts to sag due to many reasons you cannot control. You're not "ageing" in your 20's, jfc. Skincarefags are braindead.

>most people barely have them until their skin starts to age

because they most likely had them as kids, like most people, but they had all that baby fat to cover it. Not looking like a kid=/= ageing

Are you confusing natural (ie due to bone structure) nasolabial folds in young people with more superficial fine lines? Wrinkles and creases can happen to anyone. There's no skincare product that can honestly get rid of wrinkles, let alone in 3 months. Retinoid and sunscreen are the only thing proven to prevent fine lines and photoageing for the long term if you consistently use them correctly. Other things are 1) capitalism baby 2) seeing the quick and very temporary masking results of moisturizers

Look at this picture and see what causes them. Those aren't wrinkles you're fixing with skincare mumbo jumbo lel.

It's all FDA approved, it's just cheap. They carry a bunch of other well known cheap brands as well as their own stuff. Quality is hit or miss. Basically cheap drugstore tier.

The liquid eyeshdow was a bitch to remove so I haven't used it again, but otherwise it was okay. The lashes, concealer, lip gloss and sponge are the only things I liked enough that I'd repurchase. I use the concealer to lighten up foundations, I don't know how the formula would work actually concealing. I hear the liquid lipsticks and the santee eye primer are good.

If you work on a rig I'm guessing you can afford at least some nicer stuff, so I'd go to sephora or ulta and ask them to colour match you with a liquid foundation and a stick concealer(stick will make for very easy application). Get yourself a beauty blender and look up on youtube a tutorial on how to apply foundation with a beauty blender.

If you're feeling fancy ask them to suggest to you a pressed or loose finishing powder, as well as a powder brush. Honestly it just feels nice putting it on.

Some of the other basics you can get in drugstores if you're on a budget. Maybeline makes decent mascara. I personally like wet'n'wild lipstick although a lot of people find it very drying. Revlon lipstick is decent. Just pick a colour you like.

For eyeshadow, again you could get this at a drugstore, just find a palette that has mostly neutral shades for you first one, like a brown spectrum. You can get alright eyeshadow brushes from like elf or nyx.

Those I'd say are your bare bones basics.

Benifit Porefessional primer is kind of universally liked, it works for most people, so it's a good option.

Personally my favourite is the Marc Jacobs coconut primer, it makes my skin look amazing. The most mattefying primer I've ever used was the Becca Ever-Matte primer, it was insane how well it worked and how long it lasted. That one might actually be the one for you if you're really oily.

other anons can help you out with brand names because I just use cheap stuff, but as for routine, curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler, and brush them out with an eyelash brush before you put on mascara. they'll separate after brushing so the mascara will adhere to more lashes without clumping. also look up a youtube video on how to put on mascara, basically you twist the wand as you're pulling up. this action brushes them out even more. I find that doing these things helps more than a change in product.

A good beginner makeup routine?
I'm absolutely shit at applying mascara and if I do wear foundation it rubs off on my collar and makes me looks all wrinkly. If I put on conceiler it makes my eye makeup run down, eye shadow always looks smudged and I obviously also can't draw a straight line with eyeliner.

No. 98200

Try a BB cream or tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. Use a sheer powder to set it so it doesn’t rub off on everything. Use a different concealer, maybe powdered, to keep your eye makeup from running. If you don’t like the thought of constantly reapplying lipstick or worrying it’ll smudge, try a tinted lip balm. I like Burt’s Bees.

It could be that the foundation you're using doesn't suit your skin type. With eyeshadow, you only need one or two colors. Not every look has to be especially complicated. Here's a simple tutorial that covers the basics: https://imgur.com/a/67Ru2
>Do you reapply after every single time you drink?
Sometimes. Liquid lipsticks last pretty well compared to bullet lipticks. With bullets, you need to line your lips with a similar colored lipliner, apply the lipstick, blot, add another layer of lipstick and blot again. You also need to use a lipbalm when you don't have makeup on so your lips don't get chapped.

Has anyone tried Sugarpill's glittery lipsticks? Specifically "Trinket"? I've been considering it for months but I'm worried I'd feel the glitter specs and hate it.

Also wondering if anyone has tips to stop your foundation / BB cream from separating around your nose? It happens to me all the time, no matter the primer, setting powder and spray I use. I do have oily-to-normal skin so it could just be my skin type.

For the nose issue, have you tried an eye primer? I always had this problem, but I started leaving my nose out when I did face primer and using an eye primer on the bridge/sides and it works pretty well. You do have to blend your foundation in pretty well, and if you have any dry patches it can catch but give it a try if you haven’t.

I have a similar issue except that my lips have a strange feature on the inner area where I have a few bumps/scars/I don’t even know what (maybe from biting when I was younger) where lipstick just…doesn’t go. To second what other anon said I have had the best luck with Jeffree’s formula, usually I end up doing a specific second layer along the inside there the issue is and giving it a decent amount to dry before closing my lips. The Nyx catsuit formula is the closest thing I’ve found at drugstore level and their shade range is really nice, I would say also try different ways of application (with liner under, letting it dry for a while) before you give up. I always feel stupid because I basically have to blot my inner lips until they are bone dry and apply and hope for the best.

My t-zone has no problems except it's prone to being oily due to my skin type especially on my nose. I also don't really use a lot of foundation… I use about one pump. Now that you mentioned it my skin type and the little amount of foundation I put on could be why I have this problem.
As for primer preferences, I'm open to pretty much any so tinted ones are OK. A matte one would be amazing! Never tried any primer so I'm not sure which brand works well for my face and which doesn't, except for Too Faced's.
Patchiness on my t-zone especially nose is my only current concern. It gets patchy and a little greasy after just 1-2 hours outside.

Mine is pretty mild all things considered, but I still hate it. It's ugly and uncomfortable. I've been trying to use oatmeal, laying off the retinol, using gentle cleansers, lotion and oils, etc. and overall just trying to give my skin a break.

I tried Nars Smooth & Protect primer and like it a lot. It has decent SPF and feels soft but not greasy.

Good god, don't listen to this anon. Cool tones for the eyes and cheeks is much more flattering (especially if you're cool toned/neutral which you are obviously one of those) than warm colours, otherwise you'll look washed out or weird because you don't have warm toned skin. A slightly warm neutral lip is fine for balance.

I'm interested in the Fenty Beauty foundation right now because they just dropped new concealers and finish powders to go with it but I'm not sure about whether purchasing a new foundation is a good idea. I was really pale/yellow for a few years because I was permanently sick for a few years, and last year I bought a MAC foundation that sort of matched but it doesn't anymore. I have no idea what to do with it btw because it wasn't the right undertone in the first place but now it's just way too pale for me.

I tanned a lot and very fast in the summer and I got my natural color back, and the "tan" is still there, which I noticed because the Nyx foundation I bought right after I tanned still matches me. I know I can tan a lot more than that and I can keep that tan for at least a whole year, so I'm worried I'll buy a new foundation that will only match me for a few months. I was hesitating between two shades too, I tried both at Sephora and they looked good on me but it was with artificial light and before and after they oxidized, so I've been hesitating a lot. Do you think I should still wait in case my tan could fade a little? Do you guys keep several foundation shades at once for this situation?

By the way, if anyone can recommend me a mascara that doesn't smear all over your eye bags, I'm interested, I'm sick of putting mascara and concealer to hide my eye bags and look even worse because of the mascara mixing with the concealer at the end of the day. I'm using the Nyx worth the hype mascara, what do you think about this one?

i read a tip somewhere (maybe in a thread here?) about how putting hyaluronic acid on your lips kind of plumps and hydrates them. my lips are tweaker tier scaly and cracked atm and i put a layer on to see if it worked, and it helped a bit. it might help more if i continue to apply it. you need to apply an occlusive to seal it because the HA draws moisture from the air and will dry your lips out without a layer of something like vaseline on top
also what anon mentioned about more dry lip friendly formulations for your lipstick, i find the giorgio armani lip maestro has a nice creamy formula and takes quite a while to dry down. on the more affordable/kbeauty side of things, peripera's airy velvet (not their velvet line, airy velvet) lip tints give the illusion of smoother lips and don't aggravate my lizard lips, but it doesn't feel truly hydrating either. guessing it has silicone as a key ingredient to smooth out lines
if you don't want to pay sephora prices for a lipstick and lip tints don't appeal to you, look for formulations which are creamier/glossier and take longer to dry down. you'll sacrifice some staying power and it will obviously transfer more but it's better than cracked matte lizard lips, lol

no problem, the smooth primed effect doesn't last throughout the whole day, but i also got their velvet tints and the airy velvet line has a much preferable drydown imo. it's definitely not hydrating though, i'm guessing they just pumped it full of silicones to make up for how drying their other tints are. you might want to put a hydrating chapstick or some HA underneath to boost the smooth effect so it has a nicer drydown if you intend to wear them all day

Happy you’re happy anon, but MAC is truly the worst make up to recommend.

It also happens to be one of the thickest, cakeiest full coverage foundations you could go for. All that said I’m glad you’re happy with them and found something that works for you.

For skin I'd just use a bb cream and a concealer or maybe just one of them, depending on your skin and then maybe a bit of setting powder. For lips I'd recommend a lip tint in a peachy/pinkish colour as well, I like Etude Houses because they are buildable and good for a natural look. I ususlly mix it with a bit of chapstick!

The coraly shit is very delicate and soft so you need the skin to be able to complement that.

Has anyone experienced eyelash fallout specifically due to wearing mascara? I don’t wear a lot of makeup but mascara is the one thing I’ve always used ever since I started wearing makeup (about ten years ago). I feel like over time it’s thinned my lashes out, so I’ve decided to stop using it for a few months to see if there’s any difference. Has anyone else experienced lash thinning that they fixed simply by ditching mascara?

Are you sure it's not the way you're removing the mascara?

I generously saturate a cotton pad and let it sit on my eyelid for a while so the micellar water can dissolve my mascara a bit. Then i gently wipe off and repeat the first step (without adding more micellar water) and all my stuff comes off with no eyelash casualties.

Though my mascara is never applied thick either, might wanna also look into how hard you're coating your lashes in the first place.

Had the same problem where I'd lose a lash or two every time I wore mascara…easily fixed by switching from waterproof to regular formulas! The waterproof stuff makes you so much rougher with your lashes when removing it, and in my opinion makes them much more brittle and heavy…rarely see a fallen eyelash now that I've cut it out.

I know the struggle anon.
I use to mix yellow concealer in my foundation or even use it straight on my skin like it WAS foundation (which I currently do with maybelline's instant age rewind in neutralizer because I'm that pale yellow)
What once helped me was going to Sephora at the makeup bar and really gave that lady a run for her money in having her find the shade for me but that did hurt my wallet (and unfortunately I forgot the brand since it was a long time ago)
There's also color adjusting products that you can mix in your foundation like: L.A. Girl's pro.color mixing pigment, elf's mix to match and nyx's pro foundation mixer to name a few.
Regardless, since you asked for foundation, L'Oreal has some new shades that I think are more yellow-undertone friendly, NYX's foundations (like Can't Stop Won't Stop), Covergirl's TruBlend in the L-series that end in "0" (like L10, L30 or L50), or Milani's creamy vanilla.

I expected individual lashes to look natural without applying mascara. Or maybe just a little bit and not a lot? I don't even mind eyeliner that's the funniest thing. it is just that all mascara coated lashes to me look like so called spider lashes even if it's properly applied. I guess I should skip lash wear all together except for parties or when I feel like it.

So do you both think makeup looks without mascara is ugly? I have enough lashes and they're curled naturally.

No. 115794

Mascara is pretty vital. Try to find a formula that emphasizes "separation" rather than claiming "volume" or "length". I hate gloppy, thick lashes as well and I've found Covergirl's formulas to be pretty lightweight. I use the "clump crusher" one the most. I like that the wand is curved so it fits the contour of the eye. I focus on my roots and do one coat only. I try to really get in there and comb my lashes through without building up layers of mascara, basically. If there's still clumps you can also use an eyelash comb which is a tiny comb for your lashes. It helps fish out any clumps and separate lashes stuck together etc.

Try to finesse your application technique once you've found a formula that isn't prone to being thick. I've found the way I use my wand matters more than the formula I'm using.

You need to spend longer learning what humble means.

I would buy a ton of different light falsies from sellers on eBay or wherever, so it's cheap and try them out. There are plenty of soft light styles available. You can also cut the lashes into small strips and apply them individually from center to outer edge, which avoids the obvious false lash look.

Well, similar things happen for the jewelry we wear, the spices we import, the clothes we buy, the plastic we don't think about throwing away. It's all at a cost and the cost is human life as well as pollution.

There are ways to go as humane/eco-friendly as possible but it's an uphill battle and you'll most likely have people trying to WHAT ABOUT you and try to call you a hypocrite bc you aren't a perfect 100% sustainable saint. If some of the shit industries are ones you can opt out of (or at least limit your support for) then it's worthwhile to do so. Your power as an individual is to impact whatever small sphere you can, and change a few minds. If you end up wanting to rethink some of your spending, don't let others try to bash you for not being able to make every "right" choice about it. And don't let them tell you it's futile. Your personal responsibility is to be true to what you think is right and to make that small change.

I have a huge overbite and ridiculously big front teeth to the point that if I don't consciously force my mouth closed, it's always slightly open and I've struggled with wearing lipstick most of my life. Like the anon who replied to you, I'd just say fuck it and do whatever you want.
Like, my favourite lipstick is black, it's still considered extremely edgy where I live, but idgaf.
My only issue is that I have to check for lipstick on my teeth more often than people with not-fucked-up teeth.
I know I probably don't look good to others and when I think about it, I know that I am far far far away from perfect, but I enjoy lipstick, why the hell should I abstain from it unless I fix my teeth?

girrrrl wear that lipstick! it will give you a little confidence boost and make you feel girly. And in terms of if it draws attention to your mouth, there's two ways to look at it, you could also just me making your mouth more attractive or vibrant and eye-catching, so like, you're making it look better! Try to find lipsticks that suit your skin tone, eg. cool vs. warm, and play around with a few different colours because lipstick can suit what mood you felt that day. Like, mauvey nude, peachy pink, red, purple, brownish nude, baby pink etc.

Do it, anon. If you want to slowly progress to darker or more bold colours, put lip balm on first and then put the lipstick on top. It will give you a more sheer, glossy coat.

After getting recommended korean makeup and skin care for ages already, I finally ordered some.
I've got the clio kill cover cushion foundation (which only has positive reviews) and the eglips blur powder pact and within 2 hours I looked like a greasy mess. The lightest shade is also still too dark and reddish for me (which is weird, because korean makeup…?). I bought it because I thought that the application with the cushion will be easier and faster, but it wasn't. I also had to use a lot of powder, because it simply wouldn't Show at all. Ended up looking nearly a bit cakey.
If I buy some euro product for like 3-5 bucks I get better results.

Slight ot, because it's skin care, but I don't want to make two separate posts: I also tried a korean retinoid cream (elizavecca), which broke me out like hell and the corsx sun cream (which several people told me about) feels like it'll be empty super fast because it doesn't spread well, so you really need to use a generous amount. And it's just as greasy or typically sunscreen-ish as the ones I've had before.

Feels like a joke. Are people only memeing about muh superior korean products? I've never spent so much money on anything beauty related and got only disappointment in return.

I can't wear red lipstick because my teeth aren't white enough. They're not stained or anything, but they look worse with red. Any ideas for either whitening them or a lipstick colour that will make them look whiter? Or at least not worse?

Actually going off on another tangent here… there's not a thread about teeth that I saw, but I'm considering getting braces. My teeth aren't jacked up but people who've had braces have utterly perfect teeth and I'm jealous. Anyone have experience with braces as an adult? Pain, cost, do people find it hideous and judge/question it etc?

I'm looking for a sheer undereye concealer that will even out a tiny bit of the darkness in the hollows of my eyes but won't cover too hard that it looks perfect. Dewy is better but I'm open to different formulas.

My favorite so far has been Glossier's stretch concealer but it has some ingredients that don't quite agree with my skin. I'm fair but my skintone is very muted so need something with blue, grey, or green in it preferably. Fair cool olive, I guess.

Do any straight-lashed anons have any suggestions of eyelash curlers that are good for lift and curling?

I have a crappy one (in the pic) that lifts my lashes that I bought years ago. My lashes stick straight up though after the little indent where my lash curler pressed up on, so it’s like they bend from the root and stick straight up. It looks kind of jarring, does anyone have suggestions on how to get a more “curled” look?

I also would love any mascara suggestions (preferably cheap)! I’m currently using Maybelline Lash Sensational waterproof.

No. 117579

>>117577
I have a cheap drugstore pair and they work just fine. I imagine there's not a big different between a cheap curler and a super expensive one, they all work the same way don't they? If you find your lashes making right angles maybe you're pressing too hard, and if you've had trouble making the curl stay (like me) try gently warming up the curler with a hairdryer. Obviously don't get it too hot or you'll burn yourself.

No. 117582

Either Shiseido or Shu Uemura. I’ve had both and they are amazingly good curlers. I have super straight eyelashes and curl them everyday before mascara. Be sure to also use waterproof mascara that have a formula that is dryer than the water based ones (which means it won’t weight your lashes down). I personally love The Rocket waterproof from Maybelline.

I use tarte's eyelash curlers and they're really good. I get compliments on my eyes all the time. I also curl my lashes after lash primer and mascara too though so that they stay curled all day instead of falling down just from curling them with nothing on them. I know everyone says that's bad but if your lashes are thick and long, it's totally fine.

Bane of my existence, I found exactly one mascara in my life that didn't do that and they discontinued it.

No. 118132

>>118115
In my experience the makeup applicator doesn't really matter as much as everyone says. I have really expensive brushes and really cheap brushes and the main difference is that the expensive ones get everything done faster, more precisely, but not better. It also really depends on the quality of your makeup, your skill level and the style.
When I'm going for natural I actually find that sheer foundation goes on best with fingertips, light-pigmented eyeshadow looks great patted on with fingers too. Heavier foundation goes on better with a brush (I use urban decay's optical blurring brush, highly recommended) but you can still get away with fingertips, especially if it's buildable and you have a good concealer.

Best advice I can give a newbie with blending is to make sure you're starting light and building. Bad eyeshadow blending usually always starts with putting on too much pigment initially and finding it hard to blend out in a smooth gradient. Bad foundation blending is often a case of either a bad color match, bad technique or bad formula for your skin.

Once you're more confident with your skills I'd advise buying individual brushes for the purposes you need them for, sets often come with things you'll probably never use.
I recommend two eyeshadow brushes (one for warm colors, one for cool), one angled eyeliner brush for applying powder at the lash line and filling in eyebrows, a fan brush for getting rid of excess powder (does NOT need to be expensive), a good foundation brush, and a crease brush (optional imo but useful).

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I really need to find a mascara that doesn't smudge onto my undereye. I have oily eyelids and use an eyeshadow primer which keeps my eyeliner and eyeshadow in place, but my mascara is a pain in the ass.

Tips on how to look younger/cuter (without going full blown weeb a la Venus)?

I always feel like makeup makes me look worse. I know that part of the reason why is because I'm not used to wear (much), but I've also been told by others that it looks weird or doesn't suit me.
Of course it makes me look prettier, but also super mature and sort of like an emotionless mask, no matter what I try. My skin always ends up insanely greasy and crusty at the same time, like it settles in any tiny wrinkle I might have. I already tried so many different foundations, and eye looks, but nothing works. Without makeup I might be ugly but I at least look somewhat young and friendly. I'm so jealous of the girls who can just put on a bit of mascara and concealer and still look cute.
And when you try and search "cute makeup" on yt you only get full on baddie looks or makeup so minimal that only supermodels can get away with it.

I treated myself to Heroine Make Volume and Curl, it’s the second mascara I’ve ever tried after Rimmel’s waterproof in the blue tube and I don’t think I need another brand ever again, it’s honestly perfect. My only complaint is that it’s difficult to take off and I always lose a few eyelashes in the process but I could always rub my eyes with less force. It doesn’t do the flaky thing or smudge after 9 hours of wear and still holds my curl, the only time it smeared was when I fell asleep after a long day so that was about 15+ hours of being on my face while I tend to get oily/my eyes water in my sleep. My lashes are too straight and downturned for their length to show but when I apply this it’s like pop. And I like the brush more than the Rimmel one, it’s easier to get in there and swipe, with Rimmel’s I constantly poked myself and found the bristles too dense to ensure I was getting enough product on each lash.

line your upper water-line, using pencil, gel or shadow. put the pigment in and slightly under your upper lash line, same as tightlining your bottom water-line. it should look more like your eyelashes are thicker, instead of a very graphic line.

then connect the line to the wing, making sure to not go too far down with the line at the outer corners. try changing where the line and wing meets your lashline, think uplifting instead of just extending.

this also helps prevent the liner from transferring to your lid.

How do people make liquid foundation go on smoothly? I feel like I have to learn even though I like bare skin because there's a huge dark mark on my face that won't go away and it wrecks my esteem. If I put too much on it goes cakey, if I try doing it sparingly I don't get enough coverage to match the mark to my real skin tone. Right now I'm using Rimmel's Hide The Blemish because it's the easiest to apply and doesn't oxidize into orange but at the end of the day it always goes a bit patchy (I think its from my skin oils?)

I struggled with this for years. The secret is finding a foundation that fits your skin type, and also caring for your skin FIRST. Even the best foundation in the world can’t mask badly taken care of skin. And use much less foundation than you think you need. Women think they need 10 pumps of foundation thanks to watching drag-esque beauty gurus who hide behind filters and beauty lights. Chemically exfoliate regularly, moisturize your skin, and give it what it needs.

Oh don't worry about that, I already have a small routine going since I tried treating the mark like it was hyperpigmentation. It didn't work but I found it made the filaments on my nose go away and stay clearer more easily which got me into skincare. But again, if I use less foundation I get less coverage on a mark that's 3-4 shades darker than the rest of me and no matter what it looks a little powdery then goes transparent in patches by the end of the day.

I'm not very experienced with makeup so if a person wears concealer/foundation, no matter how good they are, will it always look like they've got something on? Most women around me see either clearly have a full face made up or nothing (and not a 'no makeup look') so it's hard to tell.

It depends. if you're looking for extremely high coverage to cover your dark mark, then it might be hard to get 100 percent skin-like coverage. It also really depends how up close you're looking, up close looking in a mirror you will always be able to see your makeup. But from a normal human distance, most people will not notice your makeup unless it's far too cakey. Have you tried the dermacol foundation to use as a concealer? I used it when I had extremely bad cystic acne and it's the highest coverage stuff I've ever used, even more than concealer. I think I remember reading it's over 40 percent pigment. But I saw you were concerned about oxidation, it does oxidize so I would mix mine with white mixer from LA girl. But basically my point is if you're trying to build up a badly formulated concealer with low coverage, it will inevitably look cakey and wack. If you do end up deciding to try the dermacol, make sure you buy it from their official website, there are fakes of it.

Any advice on how to do eye makeup on semi-hooded eyes? I prefer a natural Smokey eye look. My eyes aren’t fully hooded (close to it though) you can still see a tiny bit of lid and my eyebrows are pretty close to my eyes. I have tried putting eyeshadow on the bottom outer corners of my eyes and connecting/blending it to the top lid for a ~Smokey affect~ , it always ends up making my eyes look super droopy. I also can’t do winged liner because of the flap of skin above my eyelids.

Use a drop of matte liquid concealer on the lids before you apply liner, and buff a bit of powder shadow on top!

Or you might like gel liners, it's softer looking than a liquid but stays a bit longer than pencil.

It's all about the density of the foam. The official ones are super soft, where some generic knockoffs are harder and feel more like you're smacking yourself in the face with a kitchen sponge.

have you tried shopmissa sponges? Their paw paw wonder blender is even softer and squishier than the beautyblender, and it's 2 dollars.

Again, they're all like two dollars, which is much better than like 25 dollars for a beautyblender. I think they're only online though, so you won't be able to get it at a drugstore or anything.

Hi anon, I'm kinda similar except I'm extremely pale and neutral. Funny enough I find the palest foundation to always run pink. Also, I looked up swatches of the color cloud and it seems very neutral to me? Are you sure you have pink undertones? For a long time, I thought I did too because of redness in my skin, but in reality, my actual skin itself is very neutral. What is your skin type?

(im the anon you're replying to) I also have really dry and dehydrated skin so I can hopefully give some good recommendations! Now I saw you said you're in the UK so I'm not sure if you'll have all the things I recommend, hopefully you could. One mistake I made when I first started getting into foundation is not paying attention to what kind of foundation it is. If you have dry skin, you're gonna want to avoid "matte" or "satin" foundations, or anything that claims to reduce oil. Those always turned into a chalky cakey mess on me. Find things with "dewy" or "natural" finishes, and is marketed for dry or normal skin types. I also find that liquid foundations are a lot more prone to look bad on me, but ones that are creamy textured in a moisturizing way are a lot better. Stick foundations/bb creams/ cushion foundations are great for dry skin, but usually hard to find in pale shades. also, stop using full coverage foundations if you don't need them! Most people generally don't need them, and lighter coverage blends much easier and is often less cakey and drying.

Now as far as actual recommendations, here are some of my personal favorites for dry pale skin.
1. Makeup revolution cover fast base stick foundation
(affordable, decent pale shade range, blend with fingers to make it melt into your skin)
2. CYO lifeproof foundation
3. Makeup revolution conceal and hydrate foundation
4. wetnwild cushion foundation (I have to drop a white shade mixer into this to shade match)

I almost forgot, my final tip is to buy shade mixers! LA girl makes a pure white foundation color, which you can mix into foundations that are too dark and make it your color. If you need to make a foundation more pink (you said that is your undertone) you would buy the orange shade mixer. You only need a teeeeeny tiny drop usually, I use the blue foundation mixer since most foundations are way too pink on my neutral skin, and I use less than half of a pea size amount per day. And most of all, moisturize your skin first, then let it sink in for about 15 mins, then apply foundation. Moisturized skin is the first step to a good foundation application.

I have been thinking about getting some foundation to wear. The only makeup I wear on the regular is mascara and lipstick. My skin is fairly even and smooth but I want to get good at using something light to look a bit nicer for special occasions. I can't stand the feeling of layers of makeup covering my face so I am hoping just a single pressed powder product could do the trick. Just swabbing a big foundation brush across my face and go, y'know?

Do you experienced ladies think that is possible for me? My skin is between regular and dry, but my forehead can get oily at times. My cheeks have more colour to them than the rest of my face. I am a pasty ghost with a blue(?) undertone.

My theory is that a nice sheer layer of pressed powder foundation would look natural and well put together. Makeup is expensive in my country so I'd like to gather advice before buying products I might not like in the end…

Girls I've been looking for an eyeshadow palette that could help me achieve that "soft beige" makeup look, ie the picture linked.

Do you know any suggestion on the occidental market (esp. Europe)? I'm eyeing on Tartelette in Bloom with it's lighter shades.

On the kbeauty side there's on my wishlist :
- 3CE Smoother
- Peach C Soft Brown
- Peach C Soft Coral

I know I should go at kbeauty but I can't really order at oversea shops at the moment, but I can save enough to buy at a store in my country (EU).

I hate Reddit but you should check r/OliveMUA since you seem to be fair olive. They have multiple threads dedicated to olive foundations – that's how I've found some of my matches as a light warm olive.

Anyway. Do any anons prefer NARS Soft Matte concealer over their Radiant Creamy Concealer? Cannelle is my perfect shade and there's seemingly no dupes for it. I'm running out of my current tube of RCC and wanted to try something new.

Update to this - so I was using the Pixi eyeliners and they made my eyeballs feel like they're on fire. I ordered Marc Jacobs Highliners and they work great, my eyes feel fine with them.

Since I was in school to now (20s) my eyes have slowly progressed from just hooded to their final form, fully hooded. So a meaty upper eyelid, fold starts right in the inner corner and the outer corner is slightly overhanging. Jennifer Lawrence would be a close example. This is driving me insane. Most "hooded eyes" tutorials have some eyelid space. Or some space in the outer corner. I seem to have none. What the hell do I do now? Do I ditch attempts of cat eye and bright/colorful eyeshadow? Do I progress directly into monolid makeup tutorial? Pls send help.

No. 139126

The most annoying and hilarious technique I saw for hooded eyes is where you line your eye normally then move onto the hooded area, leaving a gap which is visible when you blink.

What I do is line them normally then apply some shadow on the hood so it still has an upturned effect but I don't have to swoop the eyeliner up so much where it looks disgusting when I close my eyes

I haven't worn makeup really at all during quarantine and my skin has improved tenfold. The few times I have in the past few months I could feel how weirdly textured my skin felt the next day and I want to avoid that from now on. I used to wear full coverage because of my acne but since everything has evened out quite a bit I don't need it anymore. I know this might be kind of a tall order but I'm looking for some indie brands, that are cruelty free, with really lightweight foundations with sheer coverage and aren't too harsh on the skin. Like a BB Cream or Skin Tint, just super sheer and light. With everything that's been going on I would rather give my money to smaller companies. I follow a lot of indie brands already but a lot of them don't seem to have any face products.

Oooookay get ready for the run down.
I'm super ashy blonde with fair, cool toned skin, and I know how fucking annoying it is to find the right color for brows. These are my best shots at not looking like Groucho Marx with too-dark brows, or ridiculous with red undertoned colors. I just go with my natural brows these days as I realized my futures are too soft and light to pull off anything heavy. (Same with winged eyeliner- I only just realized to use a light, light grey pencil instead of liquid of any color, YMMV tho.)

The eyebrow tint is my favorite as it still allows for a natural, not-drawn-on-blocky look. Mac Omega is really good neutral/cool toned/ashy color, if you're wanting to try powder in your brows. It's a good contour shade too if you are cool toned & fair skinned, apparently. I tried out the Benefit pencil in Cool Grey with a VERY light hand mostly on the outer 3/4 or so of my brows and it looks good in the sun but I found that once the lighting is darker, it looks more harsh– so be aware of that. It would probably also work well to tone down the browns/reds of a different blonde pencil if you lightly layer it. They also make a cool blonde color (pictured) but I felt it was too orange. The e.l.f. pencil is pretty good tbh but it didn't suit me as I felt it was also too yellow but for $2 you might as well try it out. (I'm also a big fan of returning products that don't suit me– fuck wasting money on this shit journey lel) Finally, the Covergirl Perfect Blend in Neutral Charcoal (#105) is something I just got today for the aforementioned light winged eyeliner look. Not for brows but it's really good if you struggle with winged liner closing your eyes off visually.
I hope this helps anon, I know how frustrating it is to find the right blonde color.

Slightly OT but does anyone else get tired of being preached at for liking products from ~unethical~ companies? I love MAC eyeshadows, and my favorite fragrance is by Estee Lauder. Honestly these days it's almost impossible to avoid all unethical products. Most of the retailers caught selling stuff in sweat shops didn't know because the foreign companies they contracted were the ones who outsourced the labor without telling them.

I swear by magnetics, although I just use some cheaper ones from Amazon. My only complaint about those is that the magnets are on the thick side and require a thick liner to match.

If you like it in a single package:

- Colourpop supershock shadows are amazing, smooth and perfect for a one colour look. [These can dry out but you can fix with cosmetic oil]
- Kiko Milano water eyeshadow, smooth, beautiful and highly-pigmented.
Other good brands for these: Urban Decay, MAC, laura mercier (carviar stick shadow) and stila (stick liquid shadow).

If you would like to build your own palette (You just need to buy a magnetic palette and fill with "single shadows").
All really good quality:
- Anastasia Beverly Hills
- Colourpop
- Nabla (these are a diff size at 30mm)
- Sydney Grace
- Coloured Raine (hit or miss tho)
- Sugarpill (these are quite large not sure exact size)
These are usually 26mm size btw.

I've not tried but heard good things about:
- Coastal Scents hot pots (hit or miss), Leathal Cosmetics, Looxi, Clionadh Cosmetics, JD glow

If you type "temptalia" along with something you're interested into google, it might help as she runs a famous and informative website.


I have two glossier cloud paints in "puff" and "dusk" they are really easy to blend and add a pretty flush to my cheeks. It is easy to over do though, but also easy to remove if you have. It also looks good when you're having a bad skin day, I find it more flattering than powder blush.

Nope, not at the minute. There will be 1 more restock, the date is currently unannounced. Go on the item you want and click "email me" for a in stock notification. It is best to check on their social media for a release date though, so you know when to be ready. The collection sells out fast (like in a few minutes) so my advice is to pre-fill out your details.

Colourpop's only other official stockist is Ulta which I doubt will ever be restocking. There is also resellers (ebay or depop) but I wouldn't recommend bc they sell for waaaay too high.

I'm pretty sure applicator tip is the offender here then, in my experience anything is better than this, even just your own fingers. For me what works absolutely best is tip of the sponge, like beauty blender or any of the beauty blender copycats (so the sponges you have to wet before use).
As for amount, the less the better, thing people do on all of the beauty tutorials with putting huge trianle of product under the eye is definitely only good for a photoshoot right after, not daily use. I recommend Robert Welsh on yt, his technique is really good, though he uses a small brush, not a sponge. But maybe it will work for you!

dont go all the way up to your eye when applying concealer (over the tearbag) just apply beneath the tearbag where the darkness is, there is a lot of movement and creasing that happens on that area so it is best to just avoid it + not applying concealer there will also help stop eyeshadow from creasing beneath the eyes (if you wear any that day) as well as avoiding that cakey crepey look

I feel like my eyebrows are weirdly thin/inconsistent in certain areas, but whenever I use an eyebrow pencil, it just looks absurdly thick. I'm not interested in shaving my eyebrows and painting them on since I mainly do natural/no makeup makeup (concealer + small amount of foundation + mascara + curl eyelashes + small amount of blush). What can I do?

I did a DIY brow tint today and I feel like my life is changed.

My brows have always sucked, I am dirty blonde but my eyebrows were a super-super fair blonde and they made me look bald. For the past several years I wouldn't leave the house without filling them in with a pencil.

I decided to save money and try to tint them on my own and it was super easy. I just used some root touch-up in "light brown" color and Q-tips, and left it on for a few minutes.

I HAVE ACTUAL BROWS NOW WTF. I feel like I look good without makeup. I used to hate removing my brows at the end of the day. Now I just feel pretty when I look in the mirror after showering and I still have brows.

For anons with sucky pale brows, 10/10 would recommend tinting them, either DIY or at a salon, I'm so excited to not fill them in tomorrow.

Have you ever heard of eyebrow gel? My daily makeup is only eyebrow gel, mascara, and half of the time I’ll use stick eyeliner so it definitely doesn’t stick out in the way eyebrow pencil does when you don’t have your face all beat + baked. I use the wellpeople eyebrow gel from target, I think the tint and consistency makes my brows really stand out by just enhancing their natural thickness! I have a bald spot in my eyebrow from a scar I got as a kid so dw, I think it adequately covers up thin parts imo too.

Does someone, anyone, have an idea about how I can keep my tight lined eyeliner from eventually running and giving me raccoon eyes? I have used multiple “waterproof” liners, both sticks and gels, I have tried using black eyeshadow as liner by applying with a brush, I have tried to air my eyelids out before applying, I apply only to my upper lids, and no matter what eventually I end up with black under my eyes. Maybe I just have the most watery fucking eyes in the world but they don’t seem that intense?? Please halp I NEED liner to fill in my wispy lash line

I was going to give you advice for oily eyelids but I just reread that you're tightlining. Do you mean you're actually putting it on your upper waterline or just very close to/in between your lashes on your eyelid?

Sorry for the lack of clarity, yes, I apply directly to my waterline not only my eyelids. If I only put liner on my eyelids then I get a gross gap like in pic.

Use sunscreen cream / lotion before applying makeup and that's it, maaaybe you can get a spray to put on makeup during the day but I'm pretty sure a correct amount of sprayed sunscreen would ruin the makeup.
Personally when I know i'll be out for long enough to have to reapply, I start with spf 30 cream as a base and then put spf 50 BB cream which I would correct during the day if I see it's necessary. It worked for me, I've spent about 10 days out in the sun every day all day just recently and my face is as pale as ever.

Moisturizer goes first, give your skin a moment to absorb it, and then sunscreen as the last step. Point of sunscreen is that nothing should get past it and you sure want the moisturizing actives to work, not stay on top of the sunscreen layer.

My foundation always looks DISASTROUS. Regardless of the brand, it never fails to get INCREDIBLY cakey and slide all over the place. It even balls up and flakes off in certain areas. I could honestly achieve the same effect by smearing cake batter on my skin. It's humiliating.

As much as I would love to ditch it altogether, I feel far too insecure leaving the house bare-faced. I have acne, broken capillaries, deep rolling scars, large pores, and tons of surface-level acne scars. (I wrote all about it in the skincare thread recently.)

I'm doing my best to find a decent skincare routine, but, in the meantime, I desperately need advice regarding my foundation. Are there any primer/foundation combos (preferably oil-free) that you'd recommend for textured skin? I usually purchase full-coverage liquid. Should I use a blender, a brush, or a sponge? Any particular YouTube tutorials that you'd suggest I watch?

It tends to get very oily in the T-zone area halfway through the day, but I think that the rest is somewhat balanced? I see no obvious dry/scaly patches, at least.

I'm struggling to determine what my undertones are, as well. I'm fairly pale, I have bluish veins, and silver jewelry looks best on me. I only burn once in a while on my chest or feet, but then again, I rarely spend time in direct/intense sunlight for prolonged periods. Jewel-tone blue, royal purple, and olive green appear to complement my skin the most. Neon colors, orange, brown, and grey tend to make me look washed out. Would all of this mean that I have cool undertones? I often see foundation for fair/light skin being offered in "golden" and "neutral," which makes no sense to me.

I sincerely apologize for the word vomit. I'm a total noob and feel like I'm floundering here.

I don't have acne scars but everything else just like you: some acne, broken capillaries everywhere, large pores; and something that worked for me for some reason was switching to BB cream instead of a foundation. Everyone says it has less coverage than a foundation and I guess technically it does but on my face it looks far more even than any foundation I've tried before. Usually I prime with a moisturizing cream, put a bit of concealer on the biggest offenders and then goes the BB cream, applied with the beautyblender sponge (which is btw literally the best investment I've ever made when it comes to make up, no brush has ever came close to what I can achieve with a sponge)
I'm using the one on the picture, pretty sure you can get a sample of it to at least try out.

Would you anons recommend me a concealer on the cheap side? I only use it for dark undereyes and occasional blemishes, so it doesn't have to be thick. It should have a decent shade range though, as I have very pale skin and many concealers look orange on me.

I would recommend a thin line, and doing the wing (the wing can be fat) with your eyes open so they don't get that weird curvy shape.

My brow bone slightly overlaps my eyelid, making it so when I wear lashes, the tips of the lashes themselves touch my browbone

These are my HG’s:

I want to pick up a brush to apply my liquid blush but I'm not sure what to look for brand or shape-wise. I don't normally use any brushes so I don't really know. The brand whose liquid blush I use also sells this angled flat brush to go with it but I'm not sure how I feel about a flat brush to apply blush? Any recommendations/thoughts?

I've rarely put on makeup. And people always compliment my skin for being so clear. I'm in my twenties and I'm terrified of trying makeup because I heard it ruins your skin. Is that a myth? Is there some trusty site I should look at or brands I should avoid? Or should I just not use makeup?

No. 159883

>>159881
It's a myth. It'll only be bad if you sleep in it or don't take it off properly. That being said, very light and natural makeup is still in trend and might be for you. Look at Glossier and see if that is something for you, especially if you're new to make up.

There are a bunch of products that do the same thing as the Glossier ones that aren't as expensive. I still have a few products by them because I like the aesthetic of the brand and I really love the cloud paint and boy brow. But there are cheaper alternatives.

Make-up can block your pores and therefore cause acne if you don't remove it well, so as long you remove your make-up properly there shouldn't be a problem. (I recommend double cleansing) With your beautiful skin it would be a waste to use skincovering makeup like foundation or concealer anyway, so really there shouldn't be any concerns for you.

>Or should I just not use makeup?

You don't have to stay away from makeup for skin-health concerns as I said above, so if knowing that you would like to try make-up, try it.

Just search for casual makeup looks. There is so many makeup tutorials for every possible look. And that’s why teens nowadays don’t have the awkward make up phase.
Don’t waste your money for consultations.

And for the change of topic: I bought my first eyeshadow palettes from make up revolution. I’m surprised how good quality they are. It's nice that every shade in their palettes is useful and the color scheme is coherent. I’m looking at you Jeffree Star.
There could be more pigment but it's still superior compared to other brands in the same price range.

How tf will I know when it’s retinol related purging or just my skin freaking out? I started on adapalene gel 0.1 because my dermatitis was easily flared by the generally recommended OTC retinols, but I’m going on 26 and still have periodic acne that has never cleared up. I’ve doing every other day of the gel for over a month now, but I feel like my skin has never looked worse—I’ve had actual cystic pustules, on my chin, something I haven’t had since I was a teenager. Is this really just purging? It’s all been concentrated on areas I generally break out in (my chin and jawline, caused by having to wear a mask 8 hours a day 6 days a week for work). I’ve gone through a 24 pack of CosRX pimple patches in a week and a half.
Is it worth it, anons, to try to weather it out for the full 3 months they recommend, or have I fucked my skin up irreparably and need to quit? I already don’t do dairy, use SPF and Vanicream cleanser with Cetaphil moisturizer (literally everything else I’ve tried triggers my dermatitis), etc.

Two things, anon:

No. 163590

It doesnt quite rip them out as it's very gentle and I've read from multiple dermatologists that it doesn't hurt the skin. But it has to be hydroseal bandaids specifically.
You just stick it on your problem areas and take it off in the morning. No prep work needed.

I was wondering how do I achieve this look because I have similar coloration as her where brown looks better. I have acne prone skin (Skipping one night of washing my face = 3 pimples in the morning) and hooded small eyes and it makes makeup really difficult.

Looks like she has less bronzer and contour and more blush in the after picture. Her contour/bronzer/blush is all a bit higher up on her face and doesn't drag her face down the way the before photo does.
Instead of using eyeliner to line her eyes, it looks like she used a dark eyeshadow and (probably) an angled liner brush, which is a bit easier and more forgiving than actual eyeliner.
She's done her eyebrows up more natural-looking than the angular brows in the first photo.
Her highlight is placed better in the after.

Umm… There's probably more that she's changed, but listing it out probably isn't helping much lol. You should check out Alexandra Anele's "Dude" series on Youtube. She gives really good tips on how you can get your makeup to look better that are really easy to follow.

The age range is different, someone who buys a Dior lipstick is probably going to not be experimenting as much as someone who buys one from Rimmel London or whatever and they're going to be more loyal to that one product.

Anon's right though. That type of luxury brand caters to a different type of customer than drugstore brands typically do. The average woman (older with money to spend) who purchases Chanel wants reliable, high-quality make-up with a classy feel that serves them in their everyday life. They don't want new inventive or interesting stuff. Drugstore brands cater to trendy (I hate that word) young people who're more interested in buying into the next new instagram or tiktok trend, so they're going to push out more new stuff and at a higher rate. Colourpop is probably the ultimate example of this. Of course there's even more nuance to it than this generalization. It really depends on the demographic a brand chooses to target.

Why do you want to buy Chanel specifically? If you have the money to spend on Chanel, there's plenty of brands in higher-end/luxury brands or indie brands that put out more interesting stuff.

you have to pluck the ends off, and then fill the front. You have pronounced triangle shaped brows and you can leave the point on them or bring it lower to make them straighter. Picrel is a shape you could go for and not risk obliterating your brows in the process.

I've always liked the quality of their lip products and some of their skin care is good. I just thought that maybe they'd have some new colors rolling out, but I guess not. So, which brand are you suggesting as an alternative?

Don't you need brown eyes and brown hair to actually pull them off though? Sorry if that's stupid to ask. I have green eyes and natural black-brown hair. It feels like Korean girls, Audrey Hepburn, Keira Knightley, and Natalie Portman are the only women I've seen who are able to pull it off.

Saw this ad on insta and the website seems super sketch. I really want something like this tho- it claims to take 2 hours and lasts up to a week. I really want aomething that lasts at least a couple days. I’m a single mom and I never do my eyebrows anymore because they take too much time and I barely have time to put on mascara.

Any recommendations?

definitely don’t go for matte, it really will not be flattering on dry skin. i agree with the other anon - try a BB cream out. not all of them are necessarily dewy, and you can get some really lovely satiny finish ones. i know holika holika do some really good and cheap BB creams with a good SPF included

Seconding bb creams as other anons have said. Some good brands are Tony Moly, Holika Holika, Mizon, Lioele, and Skin79. Missha's are a bit on the drying side as well as Etude House's.

Not an exact answer to your question anon, but just know that they are considerably darker and more opaque than you might expect from the promo pics and videos. I imagine if you are in a medium to dark range you won't have an issue with most shades, but if you are a light-medium or lighter, even the lightest colors can look really dramatic.

How is it not? It's makeup related, stop being so dense, even if you dont like it. Especially if you don't even sage.

Related, I LOVE the look of glossy eye shadows but is there a way to actually wear it or are they only good for a photoshoot and that's it? On tutorials how to achieve this effect i've only found it achieved with stuff that actually really remains wet and sticky, so it's impossible to wear long term…

Just now saw that MISSHA USA released a couple warmer shades of their Perfect Cover BB cream like 2 years ago and immediately bought one.
