Does anyone know what this is? I saw this on an IG reel, it looks like some kind of smoothing/lifting tape or something but it looks a little thicker, and blends into her skin. The narration was in mandarin and the caption in a different language completely and didn’t describe what it is, it’s probably bullshit but I kinda want to try it

>>303303I really liked it, the shimmers remind me of my Pat McGrath Motherships blitz shades in terms of quality and you need to use a primer otherwise there can be a lot of fallout (Milky way is the worst of the bunch). I also found the mattes to be very blend friendly with each other without becoming muddy.
I adore how grungy this palette but my main gripe is the brown is much more khaki-poo brown when sheered out. (Pic from r/swatch it for me & most accurate to in person)
Overall 7/10. I reach for it pretty often and I'm happy to pay a bit more for indie/Aus owned & made.
Also there is a change in formula with the new versions of Nocturnal so the shimmers are less flaky

Indiemakeuphotspot on instagram posts new releases and a huge variety of brands. I'm not a huge Etsy user so can't comment on that much.

>>303432I have used a watercolor goat hair brushes for the face. Some art brushes are cheaper than makeup fude brushes and perform kinda better than synthetic brushes. Though It comes at a price as no amount of washing would take away the barnyard smell when the brushes would get wet. Though the brushes didn't smell animal like when dry .
The super cheap acrylic paint brushes are great for using water activated liners. The thinner ones are arguably better than some eyeliner brushes. synthetic brushes for eyeshadow and blending are not easily duped by art brushes as art brushes focus more on liquid retention. regarding sable brushes you can get decent art brushes that can be used for makeup. both are pricey regardless of purpose but art brushes tend to have unique shapes so if you have a specific function and the shape matches. Other natural hair brushes can be cheaper on the art supply side but like I said some might smell off so I dont know if there is better regulation for disinfecting makeup brushes.

i’ve been a massive too faced fan for years but i get more and more disappointed with each new release. they discontinued all the chocolate bar & bon bon palettes for this poorly thrown together uninspired pic related snooze fest and also discontinued the entire peach line when those products were beloved by people with oily skin. same with the heart blushes. now they’re releasing a cheap-looking line that looks like kids’ makeup. so many people have been criticizing tf for discontinuing the product lines i mentioned and for delivering such cheap-looking new lines but it’s like they’re hellbent on giving consumers the opposite of what the majority seems to want. it also feels like there’s no point trying out and getting attached to their products anymore because they’ll discontinue entire lines a year after launch no matter how popular they are and replace them with subpar crap no one asked for.
i’ve loved too faced since i was a teenager and i hate seeing the brand going to shit like this. pardon my autism nonas, i just needed to vent my frustration somewhere.

The OG Chocolate Bar palettes had some of my favorite neutral, caramel browns. They weren't too warm but they weren't cool toned either - proper neutral shadows. Regarding the Peach line, I don't think they anticipated it being so well received tbh, it was probably supposed to be a one off release. But making a foundation limited edition is just stupid. However, I LOVE the new bullet lipsticks. Chocolate Lava and Chocolate Chip are my favorites.

>>314056Excuse the mspaint, but all you need to do is draw it straighter. Just change it angle of the liner. Don't make it into a swoopy c shape. With option A start from your lower lid and go straight out following the waterline. Then connect the top and avoid the eye crease. With option B draw a straight line from the edge of the lid crease (play with the angle to get it right for your eye, just keep the line straight), and then connect it. Option B goes over your crease slightly and it creates a straighter shape than A. It's like in your pic, you can see her liner is straight, not swoopy and basically extends right out from the crease.

Still straight, but the top line is adjusted to fit the eye shape better.

what are some good “no makeup” makeup products? to be more specific: skinlike complexion products and base for sensitive, textured, dehydrated skin (showing the texture is preferable to looking cakey, so a hydrating lower coverage tinted moisturizer for example would be perfect. my skin unfortunately is what it is for now, so i know it won’t look effortlessly clear or smooth regardless), a neutral nude eye palette that isn’t too dusty or powdery with little to no shimmer or glitter (my KVD shade and light palette from high school had a perfect range of nudes, but it becomes thick and powdery on the lids with lots of fallout), some nude pink/dusty rose cream or gel blushes suited to pale-to-medium neutral undertones, natural mascara that’s not too dramatic, maybe an eyebrow product kind of similar to boy brow? some subtle lip tints or tinted chapstick. maybe a hydrating setting spray that’s on the cheaper side and doesn’t become greasy? urban decay setting spray is not my favourite, it feels drying and harsh.
recommendations for any one of these would be super appreciated! not asking anyone to put together a whole list of them for free, lol. SEO has made it tough to find non-shill non-affiliate link product recommendations, but i am also compiling recommendations from reddit too, and investigating.
also, any tips or tricks to making it look a bit cleaner and more natural? i only ask because of very seldom wearing makeup… it’s for a new job. i get super self conscious when makeup is noticeable enough that everyone can immediately tell i’m wearing it. not for pickme reasons, i’m just not very comfortable expressing femininity in an obvious way like that. used to get made fun of the odd time i’d try to wear it, and have kind of a complex about it now. only explaining that because i don’t want it to seem like disdain or an NLOG thing, it’s just adult female autism. any advice or help is much appreciated. thank you

>>314453You could check out brands like Glossier or Korean brands. From the drugstore, I know that Catrice recently came out with a low coverage tinted moisturizer. Ilia super serum skin tint is beautiful and worth the price. If you want the exact tones as in your KVD palette, I'm pretty sure Makeup Revolution still makes their dupe kek. I know Rom&nd neutral matte palettes are popular right now. Huda also came out with 2 completely matte 9-pan palette recently, and I really like her formula. The mattes are buildable and lightweight. But the tones are very rosy/warm at least from looking at it online. You could also build your own palette with MAC singles for example. I think Essence supposedly has a boy brow dupe? I usually use L’Oreal Paris Rouge Signature lipsticks as liquid blush, and the finish is perfect. Dewy, sheer and long lasting. For actual lip products, I love love love Essence Sheer Lipsticks. They have a hint of color and are very hydrating. But my absolute favorites is the MAC Glow Play lip balm formula. They are some of the best lip products I ever tried. Super moisturizing with sheer even coverage that makes your lips look fresh and plump.
As for making your makeup look more natural, I'd say just apply less than you think you need. If your lashes are naturally dark you can curl them and skip mascara or apply a very light coat and then brush through with a clean spoolie. Apply your tinted moisturizer with fingers so that it melts into the skin and go over with a damp beauty sponge to make sure there are no marks. If you want to use liner, opt for an angled brush and a dark brown shadow pressed along the lashline. Even if your skin is dry, set your t-zone and undereyes lightly with a translucent powder to keep things from moving during the day. I wouldn't necessarily shy away from shimmer either, oftentimes a satin finish is going to look more natural on the eyes and cheeks than a flat matte.

>>315089If you're a beginner I'd stick to the "rules" which is light and mid tone mattes in the crease, darker mattes on the outer part of the lid/crease and shimmers on the lid and in the inner corner. Basically dark colors go towards the outside part of the eye, light color go on the lid and towards your nose. But a simple look can also be a midtone matte blended all over lid/crease/outer v + a shimmer on the lid. Once you get a grip on blending colors together you can do whatever and try a lot of different styles, placements and colors.
With this palette a conventional look would be Holy Cannoli/Toasted In Tuscany/Spaghett About It in the crease, Impastable/When In Rome/Feelin Saucy in the crease but a bit below the first shade to define the crease, Mamma Mia!/Espresso Yourself in the outer v to deepen, and basically any shimmer on the lid and a lighter shimmer in the inner corner. Pic rel is a basic look with some similar shades.

>>315695I have the Dr. Jart's Cicapair Tiger Balm and had this same problem. I have very fair cool toned skin and it looked really gross and orange in some spots on my face. I make sure to apply it very sparingly, warm it up between my fingers, and only use it in spots where there is redness (as opposed to all over like a foundation). I've had success doing it this way. Can you not return the CC Cream? I return every makeup item that I don't like. Fuck these conglomerates. Rise up

>>315721Yeah I don't really enjoy Too Faced shadows for that reason. I prefer strong, shiny metallics. Their matte formula is great though, as long as we're talking neutral shades.
>>315726Did you not swatch it beforehand? It just turns from green to the same exact shade of beige on everyone. That's how it works. The whole marketing spiel about reducing redness and how it adjusts to your skin tone is just that - marketing. If you want to reduce redness I would look into skincare first. Something like a mild AHA serum, perhaps mandelic acid or azelaic acid. As far as makeup goes, a green primer or lightweight green color corrector before a medium coverage foundation could work. But it's hard to find a product that is green enough to neutralize redness, while at the same time not leaving you looking like shrek.

>>315729Aw that's a bummer, I'm sorry your hard earned money was potentially wasted nonna. That is frustrating. I agree with
>>315730 that it would be most beneficial to try and treat the issue at the root cause and try a mild AHA serum, make sure you drink a lot of water too (trite, I know, but it's true). I understand the need for makeup though, in the meantime. I hope you can figure out a way to make it work for you
No. 315735
>>315730Bought it online which was dumb move in retrospect. It's for covering redness, rather than reducing it. I've used a green primer in the past which would make me look almost sickly pale, so I was a bit surprised when this cc cream went really dark. Thank you for the skincare advice, mandelic acid I've not tried before, and it looks like it may help with my excess sebum. I will try it! Hopefully mixing that cream with a bit of my foundation will work out.

They discontinued the only foundation I ever liked. Please help me find a replacement! I liked how liquid it was, how good the coverage was and how it blended in perfectly with my skin and didn't oxidize at all during the day. I need something like that again and I feel totally hopeless.

Undertones are wild. For reference, I’m olive-skinned. Recently, I got the new KVD serum foundation and it looked so orange on me. Wrong undertone, plus it oxidized. I bought a blue mixer since it was recommended, and was told to only use a small drop since it’s very pigmented. It helped a little but not much, so I used half a pump of the blue with a full pump of the KVD foundation. It looked green on my hand initially, but what the heck it’s actually a perfect match now. Either that KVD foundation was really damn orange, or I’m very green lol.
I’m not sure why it’s so hard for companies to just make an olive shade. For a long time, foundations were either straight up pink or orange. Gradually, yellow (warm tone) foundation has become more common, but green (olive tone) foundation is still missing and yet it’s also a common skin tone. I’ll continue mixing pigments, but it’s such a pain in the butt.
No. 316932
>>316920Yeah it took me a while to figure it out, the closest I could get was neutral foundations, but it wasn’t perfect, and I also tried Asian makeup but it was gray. Definitely try it, when you mix blue with orange foundations you get more of an olive tone. I use LA girl which is cheap. Apparently some people add green concealer to neutral foundations as well, but I’ve never tried that before.
>>316925When I was testing in the store, even the supposed cool-toned foundation looked orange on me. It must be the KVD formula. I like the coverage and how the texture looks though, so that’s why I tried to make it work with other pigments.

It’s official, after using several “drugstore” and “fancy” designer mascara brands, I can honestly say that Maybelline’s Sky High Lash sensational mascara is my absolute favorite. Last year I got a Sephora gift card for my birthday and wanted to try Dior’s Diorshow mascara, and after using it for 6 months my verdict is that it’s…fine, I guess. After it ran out I went back to my previous ol’ faithful Maybelline and it’s genuinely just a better formula in my opinion.
Also Sephora’s store brand liquid liner sucks ass and smears everywhere with the slightest sneeze or watery eye. NYX’s Vivid Matte is superior for me and stays all day, and is a few bucks cheaper.

>>318107my go to is this one, for nonnas having Rossmann in their country it might be worth a try. I used more expensive stuff and natural cosmetic mascaras, but I wasn't completely happy, so I read a review in a magazine, thought the price sounded nice because I was broke and I honestly enjoy that mascara very much. The other one I always liked was the 2000 Calorie from Max Factor. I never tried designer brands as I once had a Chanel nail polish and it was the worst nail polish I ever had, so I'm careful spending that much money on cosmetic products ever again. But I will try your absolute favourite, maybe I like that more than mine, who knows.

I want to get powder ombre brows done so bad but I'm also scared. It says semi-permanent tattoo but some people say while it fades quite a bit it never fades fully. I'm in love with the idea of not having to get my brows done often and just waking up and putting zero effort into my appearance lol.

I had mine done by a Korean lady in LA who has worked on kpop stars so she was legit, but it's been 5 years and the ends still haven't totally faded– I have to cover them with concealer because I do my brows in the spock-like shape that's currently trending and now I feel like my microbladed shape is too rounded and makes my eyes look droopy.

I'm a dumbass and need some help lol
I want to start wearing some color on my lips but my job is basically talking for 8 hours on the phone and I have a lip piercing. So I thought I'd try a lip stain or tint. However, does that stuff work the way I think it does or not? Google keeps giving me the same answer to both.
1. the tint can be wiped off normally, like any lip product, it doesn't actually "tint" the lips, like the "stain" is supposed to?
2. Where the actual fuck can I find a stai in Europe because googling so far has brought up almost nothing, they seem to be hard to find. Picrel is the only thing I found but it's all tints
No. 329233
>>328842mostly the difference between these products and regular lipstick is the buildability. They are meant to create gradients and smudged effects, it gets darker the more product you apply. While regular liquid lipsticks just become more opaque/intense. Currently because the trend is a gradient that goes beyond the natural lip line (basically overlining but better) the formulas are more spreadable than lipstick but they don't dry down and aren't very tough at all, you eat one potato chip and it's gone. The water tints like the Etude House one however date back to before current trends so they actually tint the lips for a little while. Basically, lip tints are the watercolors of lipstick.
Benefit has a water tint but it's more expensive than Etude while not being better.
If you don't care about gradients/transparent effects and want a solid lip that stays put, you're better off with a product like Maybelline Superstay 24h or a good liquid lipstick, I used to like Black Moon a lot.

Overall though you should avoid the suuuuuper cheap brands since they have no pigmentation and feel so chalky. Not even talking loreal or whatever, but the dollar store stuff. Same with eyeshadow. Yes Natasha denona is pricey but if you are a 1 basic palette girl it's so worth it just for the ease of application and pigmentation.

i can't for the life of me get my lipstick to look like this. it doesn't help that the photograph is black and white so its hard to gauge what shade and tone her lipstick is. every time i try it it looks nothing like it and ages the shit out of me instead of giving that beautiful doll effect. i think my lips are just too plump and ugly to be compatible with this look…

>>332330Overline your top lip and slightly under-draw your bottom lip. You could also put concealer on your lips first to even everything out. It's hard to explain over text but you shouldn't be following the natural outlines of your lips to a T, if your top lip seems to be slightly "shorter" than you bottom lip (like the corners of your mouth extend slightly past the width of your top lip) then you should be drawing the outline of your top lip STARTING FROM the corners of your mouth, adjust the shape as needed (but in general, the top lip should be slightly wider than the bottom for this look).
For the bottom lip, you begin to outline starting right where the outline for the top lip starts, do not follow the natural curve of your bottom lip (assuming your bottom lip is slightly wide/squarish at the sides) but instead draw a slightly smaller, rounded lip shape. Draw the bottom lip like a slightly underdrawn ")" but slightly straighten the sides of the lips so that the bottom lip is slightly less wide than the top lip.
I'm sorry if I don't make sense or if this is hard to understand, practice that top lip shape and once you've got that down move on the the bottom lip.

>>332317I think for a 20s makeup look, underlining the bottom a lot on the sides to keep it round and small is more important than exaggerating the cupids bow. although you do want to define the cupids bow, you’re not trying to make it overly tall or overline it if you don’t have to. you need to keep the general shape from curving out on the way up to your Cupids bow and also avoid extending the lipstick all the way to the outer corners of your mouth. Like here for example
>>332333 the very top and bottom are good but the lipstick is too visible towards the corners of your mouth. Ignore the corners and start drawing a little bit more inward. Approximate lines poorly drawn in picrel; just a guideline not exact.

Here’s a real life example in a modern color photograph. The old pictures do look different and hide the underlining on the bottom lip a lot because you just cant see as much detail in old black and white photos and photography studios employed their own special tricks at the time like excessive grease and powder etc.

>>332331Lip guru nonna, I'd like your advice too, please!
Mine is coincidentally the opposite problem of Clara-
nonnie. I have a very small upper lip
if you wanna be mean, I guess you can say it's a turtle lip with a substantially bigger lower lip. My upper lip has a very defined shape and cupid's bow. If I overline, I feel like it looks weird because the three-dimensionality is immediately noticeable IRL. I used to define the shape by keeping the sides narrow but widening the bow/top part of the lips, but I feel like it looks too outdated now. I want to try picrel tutorial but it seems like it doesn't look good because the highest part of my lip projects much more than the picrel. Do you or anyone else have any advice on how to make defined lips more soft and "modern" so to say? My main concern is looking nice IRL. When people overline for social media it looks good in pictures, but not when you see them in the wild.

>>334878plumping gloss does actually do something, temporarily. there are duds out there of course, but generally if it tingles/stings a little it's a real one. there are basically irritants (see pic) in the gloss that make your lips swell. It's not good for your skin to be inflamed like that repeatedly and I imagine over a long period of time with repeated use it does some damage to your mouth area (I've never seen a study on this though, it's not confirmed to be especially bad but they have given some people rashes from overdoing it or allergic reactions.)
Exfoliating and moisturizing your lips also works to make your lips appear plump. Like the other nona say you could just overline them a little or use makeup tricks rather than get some ugly fillers.

>>338659I used to have that issue too and it was so embarrassing bc it would happen at work/in public and I would only realize hours later. I fixed it by doing the following:
Only use waterproof mascara, I highly recommend Essence mascara in the metallic blue tube. Buy a lash curler and a lash comb. Curl your lashes with 5 - 10 presses before applying mascara as this lifts them up for a few hours which prevents the rubbing on your face. When applying your mascara, make sure the wand isn't overly coated in mascara, so rub off excess mascara back into the tube. After applying to each lash, immediately comb through with the lash comb. Use a makeup wipe or a baby wipe (my preference) to clean up any residue/mess/smudging immediately after and wait till your mascara is dry before continuing with the rest of your makeup. Also, don't use a heavy moisturizer on your eyes, because it'll cause any mascara to smudge. Only use a moisturizer that sinks in well. This is the only way I can and will wear mascara and it's been a huge saver to my makeup routine and longevity of my daily eye makeup. I hope this helps you!

>>338659Korean/Japanese brands formulate their mascaras with straight lashes in mind so they hold a curl very well and don't smudge. they're a bitch to remove, even with oils or balms, so keep that in mind.
I'm using the Heroine Make tubing mascara and it's great at what it does but, despite being a tubing mascara, it needs 2 rounds with an oil cleanser before it fully washes off.
if you want something more permanent, consider an eyelash perm. look up eyelash techs in your area on insta and see what actual clients look like. they usually tint your lashes and brows during the procedure so you may not even need mascara if you prefer a minimal look for everyday wear. results last about a month and you don't need to take any special precautions after the first 24h.

How do you protect your eyelids and around eye area from the sun on normal days? I've been thinking about using a powder with spf, but the only one I could find is picrel, because there can't be any zinc in it and it has to be pale enough. Still spf 15 is not enough for my taste.

How do people get used to wearing makeup daily?? I notice my eyes start to feel heavy after 3-4 hours and it makes me tired or develop a migraine. Skin makeup (foundation, concealer) doesn't bother me too much, but eyeliner, mascara, and falsies do.

No. 339895
>>339894This is probably the first time I’ve heard of someone getting migraines because of makeup. Are you sure you’re not allergic to the makeup you’re wearing? I’m not sure how that would work though.
Or maybe the smell of the chemicals of your makeup makes you get migraines, which I guess would be a possibility.
Plus false eyelashes are honestly better for parties and not daily use, it’s a hassle to me particularly, since my eyes are pretty sensitive too and they get irritated easily.
Maybe your zone of the eyes is just very sensitive, if you have issues with dry eyes and the sorts, you may need to use eyedrops even. So you could probably try focusing more on other parts of your face to experiment with makeup, like flashy lipsticks or the sorts, and keep the eye makeup at a minimum.
You could also try only one of the eye makeup products you use at once, to discard which eye makeup is actually making you feel sick.

toxic stuff, as many cosmetic products aren't the healthiest thing on earth. And skip the false eyelashes for some time, maybe they are the reason your eyes feel heavy.

No. 341751
>>340462Why are you so against liquid makeup anon ? Powder alone doesn't do shit. It doesn't stay put, it doesn't blend, it's not better for your skin either. It's just not supposed to be used by itself. Really you're better off getting some korean bb cream, bit of concealer if you have dull spots and blush in a flattering shade (likely a light apricot/peach tone). If you look sick and just put on some blush, it won't make you look more lively, you'll just look like a sick person but with extra redness.
>>340477Nta but no, if even the lightest shades of bronzer look bad on you, just buy a regular face powder in a color that works to use instead. The ideal shade depends on your face shape as well as your skin tone - some features look bad if they are too "volumized". It sounds obvious but since contour and bronzer shades are often classified by the skin color they're supposed to look good on, it feels necessary to precise. If you want an example of why you shouldn't shade with blush, just look at zoomers.
>>340233You have this "hooded-ish" eyelid shape that's a pain in the ass for eyeliner. You probably don't suck at make-up, you just have a crease that goes too far down and "hinders" you. Because this feature already creates volume and shade, I suggest not going too dark when it comes to eyeshadow and instead staying close to your skin tone. Your eye shape itself is already well defined and expressive, so if you just tightline with a pencil it should be good. Eye shape charts all kind of suck.

Does anyone have recomendations or a good tutorial to achieve a wearable version of this? Everything I've found uses a matte longwear product and then places gloss over it. This just seems wrong; when I follow instructions, the gloss just dissolves the other products. It makes sense to me that it would happen but people say they can do this look without re-application and so I assume my product choice is wrong or technique is bad.

I need URGENT help! I need a make-up remover that removes waterproof mascara that I can but at Walmart/CVS/Walgreens. I am visiting family in the US and they don't have the products I am used to. I already bought 3 different ones and none of them work.

>>342652It could be that you're applying too much product in one layer and/or your blending technique might need adjustment. I get better results when I use a damp makeup sponge to apply base makeup than when I use a brush or my fingers, for example. You might also just need touch-ups during the day, and there's nothing wrong with that.
On another note, how would you adapt really soft, doll-like makeup like

>>342655The picture you linked is a look that seems suitable even for a sharper face, it's not some obnoxious anime eye look from 2012 or ridiculous jirai girl with huge lenses, it doesn't look all that childish and doll-like so I think it's just your opinion and not fact that your features "spoil the look". Maybe if your contouring is too dark and the highlight/blush is misplaced it could give too much volume to your features, so you should experiment with different colors and ways to apply and find the right ones.
It's not possible to turn a sharp and more adult-like (?) face into a uguu kawaii doll but that doesn't mean it's ugly. You will just look more cool/elegant rather than cute. It doesn't look off with larme-kei fashion imo since it's a more muted style compared to others. You especially don't need to have a round face to pull off the style you linked.
>>342652If it takes only 2 hours to have lines even with primer it's your products that suck. Also, setting powder with a good blurring effect makes a word of difference. I'm not you though, I don't know your skin and your exact routine, so it's hard to pinpoint the exact problem, but likely it's a combination of things and not just one bad product that's the problem.
>>342712If you know what looks good on you already, why bother with some bullshit chart that works for almost nobody ? "Take your individual features into account, do what's best for each of them, then look at the overall result and adjust each thing until the combination looks harmonious" is the most sound advice when it comes to make-up.

>>342950Fellow healthcare nona here,
If you want to be taken seriously: ligh/natural no makeup-makeup.
Be mindful that if you wear a face mask most of the day, the warm air from your mouth might go up to your eyes and keep your mascara from drying properly/making it wet again, speaking from experience.
I usually just fill in my brows, maybe a light coat of mascara and if i feel daring; a mini wing just to extend my eyes a bit. Chapstick only, and a bit of concealer if i have some spots.

I feel very tempted to buy a duochrome eyeshadow (never had one before), but the market is such a wasteland. Options look like:
Invidual pots/tubes for ~£15 per unit
Palettes with 1-3 duochromes starting at about £30
Mystery makeup on etsy/ebay as low as £2 each (usually looks like it's from aliexpress)
I thought I could grab a cheap single from a drugstore brand but it seems they don't even make them. I'm still shopping around, so hopefully I find something, though I wanted a product I could buy in person so I don't have to pay like 50% more to ship a single eyeshadow. Does anyone know why bigger brands don't make these and it seems to be an indie makeup thing? I'm not sure I can trust etsy makeup sellers.

Does any other ginger/redhead here have opinions/recs on good redhead makeup? I have both the Redhead Revolution ginger lash mascara (auburn and ginger shades) and the How to Be A Redhead “finally have lashes” mascara and tho a few dollars more I prefer the latter. I loved RR’s mascara when I first found it in 2015 bc there was nothing else like it, but when they improved the formula they made the auburn less red and the ginger less orange and I actually liked that part. HtBaRH is a better formula and the color matches my true red really well. I use it as tinted brow gel and mascara as my brows are pretty thick but cursed to be blonde. I get a lot of compliments on the mascara and would highly recommend to any fellow redhead of any shade. RR has some nice lipsticks and glosses tho, shades for different types of gingers. Picrel looks richer in person than in this swatch, I’ll post my eye maybe later if anyone wants to see it IRL kek

Anyone else experience dry and slightly swollen lashlines after taking off false lashes?
I've had this problem for a while now, but it is so weird that it doesn't happen always and sometimes only my other eyelid looks irritated after wearing false lashes.
I've tried several lash glues, am currently using a latex-free one which works well but I still sometimes experience irritation. I never feel any pain/itching while wearing lashes, my lashline just looks reddish, swollen and crusty when they get irritated.
I also use good quality eye creams religiously and I keep my cosmetics clean.
Could the false lashes I'm using be causing the irritation?

How often do nonnas here wear makeup?
For me it depends, I seldom wear makeup to work simply because I have to leave the house very early and I hate doing my makeup in a rush. I'm also not really a fan of natural makeup on my self and the looks I usually go for are kinda out there and I have to look toned down and neutral in my work environment. So I usually only wear makeup during weekends.
I'd like to have a full-face more often, but it is what it is. I've also heard that it's good for your skin to not wear makeup every single day.

>>355012For the record I don't have brown skin, but I think what's important is using pigmented eyeshadows with a tone and saturation that matches you. If your skin can't pull off saturated vibrant colors, don't bother, and this goes for light and dark skintones. You probably suit washed out soft colors, the only rule is if you use something that's lighter than your skin, regardless of saturation, you just need to apply a lighter eyeshadow base so it can pop. The only 'problem' with darker skins is that you need more opacity, more coverage. A concealer can do the trick but a white eyeshadow base (the nyx jumbo pencil is good for the price) will really make the color pop if that's what you want. Using cream shadows and pencils will also give more opacity, but if you stick to nude looks it might not be necessary. Picrel is the kind of colorful but soft, unsaturated looks I think you could pull off and you might not even need a base for it.

Also if you look bad with lipstick try a more smudged/natural way of applying. some of us just look retarded with super crisp outlines. I would make a bunch of product suggestions but since I'm a k-beauty shill it may not be the sort of thing you like/can easily get

>>356059Anything dark you put on your undereyes will accentuate the curve and pull them down. get a good highlighting color for the first 3/4 of your bottom eyelid and use less/more discret mascara on your bottom lashes. point your eyeliner in the inner corner (think fox eye but less retarded and more downwards) this way the outer corner and wing tip will look higher in comparison.

>>360738If you want to do this lip look faster, I recommend buying Chinese or Korean lip tints.
I have picrel and with this one specifically, yes the blur effect is different than trying to replicate with western lip tints. To me, western lip tints or lipsticks are more heavy on the lips and more pigmented and if you don't master the blur effect, the ombré line might be too harsh. Also, most western lipsticks dry really quick and you have to be fast, picrel is buildable, has a more airy texture and doesn't dry the fuck out of my lips. I did this type of lip look with the Maybelline superstay one in the past and yes, you can replicate that with a q-tip and lots of patience, it doesn't hit the same like the rom&and one to me at least

Now, I don't wear makeup on the regular and never did so that might help too if you don't like the feeling of makeup.

>>362408the world of masculine makeup tutorials was completely unknown to me until you mentioned it just now, but that makes sense to me because mascara is instantly feminizing. I imagine adding mascara is the difference between an edgy shane look and a smoky eye.
off topic but I've only ever dated normie girls who wear no to minimal makeup and aren't even super butch, so the idea of a masc woman going to the work of doing a full face contour look is so crazy to me. but god the girl in this video is so unbelievably hot

>>362408I would just be careful about not putting powder or skin products on your lashes, for example concealer can end up there and they'll look beige or transparent which is not necessarily flattering. I take a wet q tip to wipe that off, then curl. If you still feel like something is missing, a brown mascara applied very lightly can still look masculine.
You know when your contour is blended if you don't have visible streaks. Experiment on your face and check how it looks in natural day light, be careful about using the right shade (not too warm, not too red or too gray) and try replicating the natural shades on your face, very lightly and then building it up as you go.
I also remember that 'boy beat' was a trend like five years ago because of Beyonce's mua, you could look for those tutorials : they're more focused on doing a quick natural and intentionnaly unrefined makeup than contouring to get a sharper, masculine face but they had some great techniques.

I recently went overseas for 2-3 weeks and although I'm not big into make-up I brought the MYO mini travel case. I mainly wear cream products and use brushes & my fingers with application. All my products are multi-purpose so I needed to make them smaller versus reducing the number of products used. It was mainly for everyday with a few special dinners/events.
I brought the mini case and two 3-pan containers.
One for concealer, contour/bronzer & eyeshadow primer (MAC creme eyeshadow Painterly)
One for 2 x blushes & 1 x high-lighter.
It also fit in 2 x 3ml perfume & one short brow pencil.
This fit the bulk of my makeup with only my primer, skin tint, finishing powder, UD Space cowboy eyeshadow, 2 eyeshadow pencils, mascara & 2 lip items.
It really helped shrinking it all down and I've been debating about buying the larger size as I could keep a few more of the looser items inside it. I would also use a small deep pot for the concealer as that was the only item I hit pan on but didn't run out of.

anyone here got good western drugstore products that are matte lip products? Specifically looking for the mousse/blurring lips many east asian women use, i live in the united states so brands that usually sell there would be nice. i have looked around in my local target, ulta, and even sephora but i havent really nailed down any products like this. i would get myself actual east asian makeup products but im fearful of having to spend a lot of money on overseas shipping, plus the wait time is just too much when id rather go to a department store and find something similar. so, any products come to mind? even if its a lipstick, i want one that stays on for a long time and gives that blurring matte look. very into the "clean girl" or the "no makeup" makeup styles

>>358761I like Makeup Forever's HD Matte Velvet powder foundation. If you apply it with a stippling sponge or some other brush where the bristles are loosely packed you can get a very nice sheer coverage.
>>358940I think you're probably a 'winter' if the coral blush looks bad on you. IME it is totally possible to need to wear a 'warm toned' foundation but look better with cool toned blush and lipstick. Seasonal Color Analysis was written for clothing, not makeup. Makeup is usually sheerer to begin with since it mixes with your underlying skin tone and it is normal for warm toned people to have cool toned lips like in the picture you posed. Even the most warmly toned image in the lower left still has cool toned lips. I think most people are better off using sheer lip products, it's almost always more flattering anyway.

As a mixed Wasian girl, Dear Peachie’s videos have helped me so much in figuring out what makeup style suits me. I always wondered why I looked so washed out and plain when trying ‘natural makeup looks’ but get so many compliments when I wear bold lip and heavy eyeshadow/liners. For a long time I tried to do subtle girly kpop idol style makeup but now I realize I suit dramatic red carpet Chinese actress style makeup far more. Her videos are targeted mostly at Asians and use Asian references so if you’re of that race they may help a lot. Even if you’re not Asian I think she can still help you find what type you are. I’m definitely dramatic romantic.

>>369784Nonnie, what kind of lashes do you use? I developed an allergy to fake lashes last year which was devastating because I love wearing them for events. From my research, it seems like a lot of people develop an allergy to the latex or acrylates in the lash glue.
I've tried every latex free, acrylate free glue I could find. The one glue that is latex and acrylate free is Tatti Lashes So Sensitive lash glue. I always tested the glues on my eyelids and I'd never have a reaction… until I paired them with lashes.
Turns out it's actually the lash band that is causing my allergic reaction. I bought a lot of them from TaoBao as they have the type I like (spiky), but I think a lot of manufacturers have changed the fibers and it's causing irritation. I recently swapped to House of Lashes and while I may get an itch here and there, I don't have the reaction or swelling that I used to and I can wear lash glue with latex and acrylates again.
No. 369961
>>369784If you can stand the really difficult learning curve, I'm a dual magnetic lash main. One over and one under your lashes. It's easier if you cut them to be on the mids to ends of your lash line (if your natural lashes are long enough to blend into them). Silly George and Ardel Magnetic Accents on Amazon is where I get mine from.
It's a fast and convenient glue-free way to wear lashes, but requires practicing at home for at least a couple hours to get used to them.

>>369810>>369797when i look it up this was the most common answer but i was really hoping it would be something else. i'm a bit jealous of people who can wear lashes with no issue, but a cute makeup look for one day isn't worth 2-3 days of dealing with my eyes being super puffy and red so i'll avoid latex products from now on. thank you!
>>369842i was embarrassed to answer this at first because i'm very frugal, but i've gotten a lot of my lashes from aliexpress because similar to what you said, they had the kinds of lashes i liked for nice prices. my eyes reacted to them completely normally for about 6-7 months? until one day my eyes were noticeably drier, then stung/felt sore, then went to full swelling after i kept trying to use them normally. at first i thought it was just lack of moisture so i applied vaseline to my eyes after taking off my makeup and if i wasn't wearing makeup, but it didn't do anything. i've used pharmacy/drug store lashes before and some of them had the same reaction unfortunately. thank you for the recommendations! i'm not sure if they sell the lashes or the lash glue you mentioned in my country but i'll order online if i have to, also comforting to know i'm not alone since i never see anyone talk about this when it comes to makeup.
>>369961i never understood how magnetic lashes worked but i'll test them out if it means avoiding regular lash glue. sorry if i sound silly but just curious, i've heard that putting them under your lashes can be irritating and harmful to your eyes? i've never seen any real reason as to why it's harmful, just wanted to ask because i want to try this out (also sounds like it'd look cute)
No. 370053
>>370018>I've heard that putting them under your lashes can be irritating and harmful to your eyes?thats for the regular glue lashes. The glue can be more irritating in closer contact with eyes.
For magnetics they're not irritating at all just make sure to clean them regularly, I just spray with a little bottle of rubbing alcohol and wipe them, and re-use them for months.
If you apply them wrong they can pinch a bit, what you do is grab onto them with your thumb and index finger and slide them away from each other and try again. If you're a tactile person good at crafts and stuff you'll get used to it, but most dual magnetic lashes have 3 star reviews not because of the lash quality but because of the difficulty of use. A tip I give out is to apply the top one sorta where you want it (the bottom one pulls it to position even if its not perfect) then make wide open "crazy eyes" and apply the bottom ones flying UP not IN. if you try to come horizontally in with them, they will zoop together too soon and be all fucked up. If you are really close to the eye and fly up, the magnet does its job and its in position perfectly.
Also, you can start easy and cut it down to ends only so you're working with a short, 1 magnet strip to make a cat eye enhancer to your regular, mascara-applied lashes.
Also, store them on a metal plate or a metal base of a mirror. Store them in the shape you want to match your eye, the lash strip will stay that shape. not like I or C but in between, this help application so much. I stored them hastily before and they became L shaped lol.

I've been trying to use tutorials to improve my makeup and i can seldom seem to find a tutorial where a MUA has the same eye shape. There also aren't a lot of celebrities with my eye shape who don't get blephs or some kind of surgery. I want to throw hands at my sad eyes. deep set, semi hooded lids but not a lot of lid space and creases at the tops which makes eye makeup very bothersome. I've given up on liner at this point but I'm trying to improve my eyeshadow to the point where it doesn't make my eyes look sad, downsy and bitchy. I've been doing my makeup wrong for years. Nobody ever told me till recently how wrong I was doing it. my eyes are not thin enough or lack enough lid space to be truly hooded, but they're not large or spacious enough to be considered round. They used to be my favorite feature and now I'm starting to fucking hate them
I'm somewhere between almond and droopy and can't pull off half the looks with my lack of skill but also with my shape. I'm just trying to figure out something that works by giving the illusion my eyes pull upward. without liner.

>>371140Look for Jirai Kei tutorials for this particular style. The eyebags are called aegyo sal in korean and that's the most used term worldwide but the Japanese term is namidabukuro/tear bag. The word for droopy eye make-up is tareme
This technique has been used for a variety of styles over time. Gyaru did and still do the exaggerated droop x aegyosal combo and now it's popular on Douyin too.
Also beware that it only looks good with circle lenses. Otherwise it just gives you weird sanpaku that makes your iris/pupil look small.

>>371149>it only looks good with circle lensesHonestly it really depends on your eye color, if you already have sanpaku eyes and where you start the droop/enlargement of the eye. I have dark brown/black normal iris eyes, I start the eye enlargement makeup around the middle/slightly more on the outer side of my eye like ayrt's pic and it looks great without lenses, If you do the eye makeup on the whole eye like picrel than yeah circle lenses are a must even if you don't have natural sanpaku/light color eyes

I totally avoid outlining because it'll make my mouth look even smaller and I can't do fancy gradient lips because I just don't have the space.

Any recs for peachy toned foundations or concealers for someone who needs yet hates base products? I'm 3/4 East Asian so it's been hard finding things in my tone but I recently found out I'm not olive or very yellow but actually have a lot of pink/red in me. For reference I tried Missha creams in 23 and thesaem tip concealer in 1.5 and they're a bit too yellow. Rimmel 040 Soft Beige is pinker but it's discontinued and their foundation smells like acrylic paint.
>>384031I just bought a big haul from there last week, the shipping is painful (your only option is pretty much DHL and their calculations inflate the price) but I say it's worth it to get Japanese drugstore goods at their actual prices and have it at your door in like 5 days or less. I'm never overpaying for Canmake ever again. I don't think my parcel was very well protected for an international flight, it was par for the course for Amazon to just stuff spare space with paper but thankfully everything came safe and there weren't any particularly fragile objects in there.
Keep in mind Amazon won't ship things with alcohol or solvents in them, judging by certain things I couldn't add to my cart like perfume and nail polish. I have heard of people buying from Amazon JP through a proxy (you don't check out your cart and ship through them, you give the proxy the link to their item page) but I don't know how cost effective that is or what benefit it has over a direct purchase.

I want to look into skin bleaching because I don't like my current skin tone, it's just too beige. I'm white so it's not like a race or cultural thing.
I know skin bleaching is dangerous but I've wanted this since I was extremely young, I would just like to be a little paler. I already use sunscreen and keep to the shade (or always walk with an umbrella) on the very rare occasions I leave during the day, so I know I'm at the limit of how pale I can naturally get (without makeup or white cast sunscreen).
Can anyone actually give me recommendations on looking into skin bleaching? I don't do anything unhealthy so in the karmic balance of the universe or something I should be allowed one unhealthy thing to do. lol

>>386226If you're not leaving home and avoiding the sun like a vampire you're already doing unealthy things. You should wear sunscreen but the sun rays won't kill you, you need that vitamin d intake. Anyway, you can't be recommended bleaching products because they're usually illegal outside of thirld world countries, for good reasons. Using uncontrolled products is a huge gamble, especially when bleaching creams are known to contain mercury or arsenic. Ruining your skin with scars, early onset wrinkles and cancer to maybe be a few shades lighter? Also, one of the more ironic side-effects is that it can lead to permanent darkened patch of skin, see picrel. Just buy some lighter makeup if you want to look like a ghost like goths do. I'm not even sure if you can get lighter than you are with bleaching, the 'beige' undertone that you mention is just the natural flush of your skin showing that blood is circulating and you're, you know, alive. Your pic looks like it's taken in front of a screen with harsh cool toned light, which, on top of the contrast with the black hair/top, makes it more pale than she really is. Don't compare yourself to internet pics, go outside and look at people's normal, beige skin, and rejoice in the fact that you're already that pale sickly girl.

You might be perceiving is thar your undertone is more yellow than pink. Which isn't something you can change either, so I think it's something you should learn to accept in yourself.

>>386226Like it was said before, the skin colour in the picture has probably something to do with lightning and/or editing afterwards. It takes me one minute to create that skin colour in the picture just by playing with saturation.
I understand your wish, I have the same, but I'm not stupid enough to use skin bleaching products. You can try some Vitamin C cream or a self made mask with Curcuma, which will make you yellow afterwards and takes forever to get rid of, but makes you appear a little bit paler for one or two days. What also would help is being sick or if you have iron deficiency. But ruining you health just for a skin colour that is genetically not meant for you is just stupid and useless.

>>386399I used to have uneven eyelids before I got ptosis surgery to correct it, so this is right up my alley. Back then I had perfected a makeup style to try to even them out. Sorry I don't have pictures, but:
Basically, on the "more visible" (droopy) eyelid, I would do slightly thicker eyeliner above the lashline, then subtly line the upper waterline with white or nude. On the other, "normal" eye, I would do a slightly thinner eyeliner above the lashline, then line the upper waterline with a dark color. This basically gave the effect of making my "droopy" eye look more opened and my "normal" eye look slightly droopier, thereby evening them out.

I'm curious to hear how other anons figured out what truly looks best for them. I can't help but sperg on this because it's fascinating how different methods work for different people, but we somehow get a misconception that sticking to a trend will benefit us instead. For example, I found out that shaving and drawing my eyebrows on instead of just "accepting" my low blocky brows have saved me a lot of time when it comes to getting ready, since i ponder a lot on why my finished look appears so awkward. Just changing my brows made my eye makeup improve and the finished look doesn't look off anymore. I also learned how to do my eyeliner in a way that changes my overall eyeshape. Also, to oily nonas, I suggest a matte base, since it helps keep my makeup look neat and avoid an oily appearance. What changes did you guys do for yourselves and how long did you guys realize them? It honestly took me about 3 years.

>>386887I've watched so many dearpeachy videos but all the girls they use as makeup/hair/accessory examples are already gorgeous and can pull off styles that aren't "supposed" to suit them, so they're often hard for me to follow even though they're supposed to be super helpful.
I recently started to use a Chinese beauty app that allows me to apply fake makeup, like add lashes, contour, change my eyebrow shape etc so I used that as a base to help me see what actually looked good on me, then I started to replicate it IRL. For example, my eyes are smaller, so I applied lashes that extended from the corners of my eyes which made them look longer and widened them out. I also had bushier eyebrows at the time, but made them thinner in the app, which shortened my face (I wanted this). I made an example using Emma Chamberlain who I think is very pretty, but she regularly posts pics with no makeup so she was a good example for me to use the contour & foundation settings with. I tried to keep in as much of her natural features as possible because that's personally how I like to do my own makeup for events.
Keep in mind that this is just to my taste, so I'm biased in changing her appearance.

not sure if this is the right place to ask. forgive me.
I have really bushy eyebrows kinda like pic related, abit thicker though and with less of an arch. I don't know what to do with them. I only pluck my unibrow but that's about it.
Should I make it thinner? People keep telling me it will not grow back and that I will regret it but I hate it as it is now and have been made fun of for it for my whole life so I doubt I'll miss it.
Also, I don't know anything about brow makeup or what any brow product does. I don't know but please help lmao

>>389512Everyone I know who plucked their unibrow regrets it because they all think they took it too far and now their eyebrows are

It's true that it doesn't grow back (even when some of it grows back you lose the fullness and get sparse little hairs instead, it's never the same.)

Please please please help me understand foundation & powder! I use moisturizer, sunscreen and then foundation, this is how i like it best because at the end my skin has that youthful glow that is popular for korean makeup looks. I have tried using powder at the end a few times, and hated it, because it sucks out the glowiness of the skin, making it super matte, and i look older and dry. But I recently saw Sheraseven and another tiktok girl (who seemed almost angry when she talked about this, which is why i decided to ask), and they both said "if you don't use powder after foundation, that's ratchet and you're crazy. So is it really necessary?? No one has ever commented on my foundation being bad, I also think it looks so good even after a long day, that i ditched the setting spray because i don't need it. Even a sephora employee whom i asked what she thought of it, took a good look and said it looks fine to me. So why is powder so necessary? (For powder i have the Nyx can't stop won't stop mattifying powder, when i use it it's like photoshop airbrush). Now i don't know if you might say "why are you complaining that a mattifying powder is making your skin look matte?", but i thought that that was always the point of powders? Please nonas give me your advice, i love my glowy look but don't want to look crazy!
No. 389774
>>389695You're fine. If you don't have a problem with how your current routine is servicing you, you're fine.
I think some MUAs think it's necessary for "setting" the foundation/look, but it sounds like your makeup is staying put throughout the day without it. It's important to keep in mind that a ton of what MUAs say isn't applicable to the majority of people for day to day needs.

Girls thank you so so much for the replies!
>>389699 you are spot on, my skin is dry and i think that is why the makeup sticks for so long, even without setting spray. And thank you for the product recommendation!
>>389734 that's exactly what happens! It sticks to dry patches just as you mentioned! I will take your advice on putting it so that my hair doesn't stick to my face, because it constantly happens with my sides and bangs, because of the sticky sunscreen. (I can't help but wonder if the sponge sucks out the sunscreen's properties?)
>>389774 thank you for the reassurance. And yes, i think that is exactly what they meant. Since i posted the question, i learned that there are different kinds of powder: mattifying, translucent, setting.. i think they meant the setting one, because then i would understand it looking "ratchet and crazy" if the products start moving around the face.
I have a new question then: so if powder is to set creamy products and more fitting for oily skin, then setting spray is for drier skin, right? Basically the opposite (not all the time of course, i see some tutorials use both)

I got the Dior lip oil in coral color for a discount and it's really nothing special compared to cheaper options. My unpopular lip oil take is that Lancôme Juicy Shakers (which I also got in a summer sale because no one liked these apparently) really got done dirty, the applicator gave you an instant gradient lip and was fun to use, and the texture and colors were nice, and while they were still ridiculously expensive, the uniqueness of the product made it a tiny bit more justified.
>>412327Things are never outdated if they look good on you. Ultimately trends only really determine what you can get away with. I do my makeup like a kyabakura hostess from 2016, but no one cares because it works with my face. Also, your picrel is a timeless style, it's not that obnoxious at all.

>>412799I buy one or two name brand products a year "for the experience" and most of my lip products are luxury at this point, my favorite Guerlain matte lip is not that much better than one from Romand that I used before even though it's 4x the price, but I love it because it has a unique experience of use that gives it "prized personal item" status. The Lancôme lip oil I used before had a unique texture, look and smell. My problem with the Dior lip oil is that the "experience" is kind of boring. It doesn't smell good, does nothing for lip color, texture is meh. It only looks cool when you apply it in front of other gen Z cosmeticfags who can't afford it. It's not terrible by any means, it's just my most disappointing "experience" to date along with Gucci Beauty lipstick that's quite honestly a shitty product but has the remaining quality of looking like a work of art so the swag of reapplying it makes up for having to do it every five minutes. I'm not sure what I was expecting, I guess I just wanted the novelty of buying an actually hyped product after a lifetime of purely personal choices
>>413341My favorite lazy day item is the wet n wild blushlighter in the shade "I met someone". It's a duo of a rose gold and beige gold shimmer that you can easily use on your whole face as blush, highlighter and eyeshadow so you don't have to buy several things, and it's very cheap.
>>41608590s palettes were usually a simple gradient of 3 or 4 shades based around one color. You don't need all that. Also that palette is really not well designed so you're better off keeping your money. Personally I like the Smoky Brown quad from Burberry, but there's probably a better one for cheaper somewhere.

No. 427078
>>425326You need to elaborate on your skin type and what products you currently use when you ask basic stuff like this.
Make sure you prime and set everything properly. The eyeshadow primer from Kiko is pretty good (unless they changed the formula since last time I used it, but I used to have hooded eyelids and it kept my eyeshadow perfectly unharmed from the sweat/rubbing all day, it was way better than brand name products). Check your skin type and if any products you use might not be the best fit for it. Don't mix oil based with water based. There is no perfect paint that will stay 12 hours without moving in the middle of summer.
My own routine is priming spray > regular primer > foundation+concealer > blush/eyeshadow etc directly on my wet foundation > powder > eyeliner/mascara > setting spray and it holds up fine on a hot day. If I have to use eyeshadow primer then I put on the powder first and do my eyes after.

I caved into the hype and got the NYX Bare With Me concealer and I'm in love. It's a tiny ass bottle but damn does a little go a long way. Pretty much can use something like 1/8th of a full pump with a buffing brush to cover up the odd zit or red patches on the face (although I think a full pump could work as a sheer tint for the whole face). Only drawback I've noticed so far is that a few hours in the areas I apply it to look oily and need a powder touch up. I'm really digging these new skin tint/natural finish type products after having to suffer from the full glam drag type trends of the 2010s which side note, does anyone else hate how people only review concealer based on how well it highlights under eyes?
No. 436921
>>436586Based, I hated the caked on finish of 2010s. I personally enjoy a good matte finish (for late 90s type looks) but not like this heavy drag look.
>does anyone else hate how people only review concealer based on how well it highlights under eyes?I do, I hate the highlighted under eye look. It looks so goofy.
btw I swear the 2010s makeup + hype palette culture made zoomers hate eyeshadow. I genuinely hate how 2010s makeup era it killed availability of ,in-between of matte and shimmer, pearl shades which I enjoy the most because working with them is brezee. So far I only got enjoyable pearls from Clinique and Clarins but also from Inglot. There are so few so I'm open to recommendations, especially at luxury price point and I prefer singles/duos/trios/quads over full blown big pallettes. I want neutrals so browns and grays and gray browns, but from colors I enjoy a good lilac or burgundy.
>>436914I personally don't give a fuck about it because I do it like it was done before 2010s without heavy primers, just moisturizer as my base. Silicone based primers make your skin uncanny smooth and they can play part in clogging pores if your foundation has pore clogging ingridients. You'll be better off with good concealer and powder, I use pressed powder so often I could skip foundation entirely because of amount of coverage I get. On relate note, I still think about how Kevin Aucoin in Face Forward talked about that foundation is only a must for photoshoots, but in real life you don't really need it.

>>437218Thank you! I enjoyed these a lot, I just hope real makeup books will have revival among zoomers because it's so tiresome to have them badly repeat tiktok shit.
I need to get myself a translated copy of Making Faces (and og copy of Face Forward, which I prefer more IMO)… I love my random (mostly german) books from this period and I want to play with copying looks from old magazines I have. It's lots of fun and my current daily look is basically taken from one of these old books. They had really good section on every part of makeup alongside tutorials for each presented look. It's just nicer to have a book compiling everything over random ass tiktoks or videos. It's just handier when you actually do makeup.
>>437117Smaller palettes are great. Modern mattes are so heavy compared to 90s ones which seemed to be more sheer (and I'm trying to find some that will be like this) and shimmers are extremely glittery, though depending on brand they can lean more into pearl but not always. It's so hard to find real Pearls, so thank you for recommending MAC singles - I'll try them when I'll be able to get my hands on testers.
Pearl copper from Clarins turned out to be more shimmer-like than pearl if applied more heavily, thin layer is perfectly pearl-y but I prefer it being more intense. Color is nice, more gold-like than copped from Clinique quad I have.

>>438864i hope it doesnt hurt too bad <3
besides just trying to get the swelling down with ice, id say to put concealer on your upper eyelid and on the corner of your outer eye. doing that alone will make it quite unnoticable

I have never worn or done makeup in my life, I bought a natural tone BB cream, lipstick, lip gloss, an eyeshadow palette and blush and some brushes for a very big upcoming event where I'll dress casually and in beige or pastel yellow with pink and red accents and either gold or silver jewelry.
I'm planning to do a simple glam makeup inspired by the 80s, 90s and 2000s with blue and turquoise eyeshadow and white and gold glitter, no mascara or eyeliner or eyebrow filling because I don't need them, no concealer or bronzer either, just some highlighter and blush. Would it work? Any looks to take inspo from? Are the decades I mentioned in picrel good? How can I know how to move the brush in the right direction and amount? I have deep set almond eyes and very pronounced bone structure if this helps, my lips are plum, and my skin is wheat colored. Any tips?

>>441017I thought I didn't need it because my lashes are very long and dark naturally, same for my eyebrows. Does that not make a difference? I also made a collage of looks inspo.

>>440971nayrt but BB cream can be enough as foundation, it looks more natural to me imo.
For eyeshadow primer I'd suggest you buy one separately, BB creams are usually dewy so it won't work especially if you have oily eyelids.

>>441812Aquaphor. You really don't need a lot, less is more. I also like the Hawaiian Tropic lip balm with SPF, but I always forget to reapply.
If you have legitimate mouth cuts, try lanolin. Word of warning - it tastes terrible. But it works. It's the only product that ever fixed my cheilitis.

Has anyone tried Huda Beauty's Creamy Kohl eyeliner? Is it worth it? My face can get a little oily throughout the day, so I'm looking for an eyeliner that has longevity.

Can you nonnas recommend a good eyeshadow primer for me?
The only one I've really liked is the UD's one but it's rather costly.

How do you raise your eyebrows more if you have flat, thick, dark blocky brows? I've been trying to shape them with gel but it's like my brows cannot arch past a certain point and it's driving me crazy. I hate how consistently flat and boyish they are. To preface I'm not particularly good with makeup in the first place and I've tried to improve. My eyebrows are one of my worst insecurities alongside how hard it is to work with my eye and eyelid shape, especially in an era where laminated extremely arched check mark brows are popular and downturned eyes are frequently called ugly. I feel like a hideous downie troll
I really want to go to a pro to get them shaped but their ends near the corners of my eyes are sparse from years of thin brow trend plucking and waxing. They've never fully grown back and I have no idea what to do. All I know is I want more of an arch and for my eyes to appear wider giving me more lid space to work with so my brows don't invade my lid space. I used to like my eyes and brows but the more time passes the more I fucking hate and despise them and how hard they are to work with. I cant really apply eyeliner on these puppies without smudging it on the top of my lid no matter how hard I try either and the only solution I see to dealing with my horrible sleepy lids is a bleph

>>443221I guess I'll try finding a waxer or a threader who's willing to work with them. My biggest fear is that it goes horribly awry and my brows would take forever to grow back. I really want brows like Margot Robbie or something but that's impossible and I'm beating myself up over it for no reason. It's not like I look like her anyway.
>>443223I just want something nicer looking. Not necessarily influencer tier overdone but more stylish than what I was born with. I find them exceptionally boring looking when I'm not hating them. There's really not a lot of women in western media who have the same brow shape, and it's disheartening to see when looking for makeup inspiration. The thing is that while I've looked into the k/beauty style and have worn that style of makeup before, sometimes I just want something bolder, smokier, and feel like nothing fits when I struggle to work with any type of makeup when I've got a difficult lid / brow combination. Semi hooded eyes are worse than just having open or hooded eyes because the droopy creases make it consistently so much harder to do anything without smudging shit

>>443225I looked at your pic, have you considered getting a microblade style brow makeup pen to fill in the inner part? Like I know this is shitty cuz I did it on my phone in 2 seconds but like this kek and if you liked it you could get real micro blading done to fill in that gap. There’s literally nothing wrong w your brows at all btw, just trying to help you make a lil dif shape

>>443133If you have dry skin you should avoid foundations that are meant for oily skin. You probably already know this, but those kinds of foundation will always look bad and cakey on dry skin.
I'd say look for a hydrating foundation that's not matte. I have dry skin too, and my recommendation would be the L'oreal Paris true match foundation, it works well for me at least. Picrel

>>443220Hardly a good visual but if you tweeze your brow hairs in the white area, your eyes will look less droopy. I think a straighter looking brow would flatter you, your brow tails grow down far and give a droopy sort of tired look. If you are capable of growing more hair in the brown area, please do! It will improve your appearance overall, but they will probably look more harmonious around the area I stopped and not the crowded, more bushy picture anon doodled above. There are a ton of "straight brow" style tutorials on YouTube. I'm not up to date on brow products but I imagine a thin nyx eyebrow brush and a clear brow gel to move the hairs into a more linear direction would be all you need as you wait for your middle hairs to grow back in

>>443345I don't think I can grow brow hair in the center areas. Now that I think about it I've been trying for ages and nothing has grown there. I haven't tweezed or waxed or done almost anything minus spot plucking in ages and the center is still refusing to grow. It has been for a long time but I never ended up noticing until much later when it made me insecure. I really think the early 10s plucking fucked my center brows up forever and I can't get them back without microblading
I can try the edges.
ATP I might just go to a specialist cuz I'm sick and tired of not doing anything with them at all and letting them grow in the wrong areas. They look shitty and gel and pencilling of any kind isn't helping at their current shape

>>443345Pt 2 an even more flattering style for your eyes specifically, keep your brow tail a little more lifted to balance your eyes (theyre the cute puppy dog eye type btw nothing wrong with them they just need balance). And if you want to imitate an arch, putting really thin, faint hair strokes around the outside here (not as harsh obv) is better while keeping the bottom hairs still extending straight out. I strongly advise against getting microblading done in general, but if you insist at least spend 6-8 months using a good brow product every day so you can practice after you shape the tails. I promise once you get rid of those brow hairs feathering down, youll immediately notice a minor 'lifting' of your eye area. As for your middle hairs, you do have a lot of "floating" forehead space from the overplucking, have you tried castor oil or hair growth serum? These are simple changes overall but more time consuming without the ability to grow some extra hairs to blend with.

>>443064An anon recommended me the wet n wild primer on here years ago and I'm never switching to another, it's the only one that ever had my eyeshadow last all day. Note that I have oily eyelids, normally any eyeshadow I put on moves into two crease lines within an hour or two.
>>443226You can't tweeze or draw your way into eyebrows like this unless you fully shave them off anon. They might not even match your facial features.

>>443544I also am aware that a lot of "attractive" people get plastic surgery and brow lifts to achieve that look. Like I don't think that was Margot's original shape either
One thing I like about Ariana grande and one of the only things I like about her is that she's been a mainstream example of a celebrity with straight brows for awhile. I know that wasn't her original shape and she looks skelly botched these days, but it's nice to see someone have them
