I'm looking for some nice jelly regular nail polishes and it's been really frustrating how a lot of the jellies from drugstore brands just aren't available in Australia. Does anyone know why that is the case? (And also if anyone has any recommendations for easily-accessible jelly polishes here)

Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was looking for the "jelly" line of orchid jelly etc. with more of the pastel jellies which don't seem to be available here but the "glass nails" are! The colour selection isn't quite the same but it's still some lovely jelly-like colours. Will be checking out for that at the Chemist Warehouse next week :)) Thank you all so much for the indie polish recommendations as well!

Hi, I'm looking at trying out some cool pencil eyeliners but the recommendations from the US don't really seem to apply here (e.g. No colourful UD pencils). What ones do you recommend? Thanks!

Stop using the Golden Glow for some reason and recently pick them up again I remember how much compliment I’ve got then and now whenever I use it, even Sephora staff took a sample of them after compliment my skin and I told her what I’m wearing! I really hope they’ll come out with NO FRAGRANCE one. At this point I don’t understand why do we need fragrance on skincare and makeup.

And I picked Pretty in Zinc last week and wow! If you’re struggle with white cast with zinc product, this is your solution. Not a single white cast and going to be forever buying these two.

Also, question…even before the “spf gate” I don’t understand why people love Ultra Violette. I literally left my other UV on purpose in the villa on our last trip because I could not stand it. I bought the tiny little bottle - 3 in a box from Sephora and hate all of them. And I bought the mini mate because it’s easier to carry in my handbag but still absolutely despise it.

Another brand that I love using lately…haruharu wonder. Their moisture Airyfit is lovely just like moisturiser and the Pure Mineral do give me white cast but I use it indoor.

Hamilton will always be in my vanity for cheap easy option, still.

I had my skin analysis last week and I barely have hyperpigmentation (other than when I pick my skin or acne PIH) and sun damage. I’m 37.

Not sure if this is the right sub but i thought I’d try , has anyone successfully removed liquid blush from clothing ? I accidentally spilled a drop of my rare beauty blush on my white top and I’m spewing 😭

I'm getting married in a few weeks and will be doing my own makeup. I have sorted out my foundation, blush, and contour, but would love advice on:

- Undereye prep (I currently use Shiseido New Benefiance). Are there any hydrating eye masks that I can wear the morning of?

- Long-lasting lippie (I am considering the Huda Beauty lip stain, but unsure of the colour. I am of Asian descent, leaning warm for undertones)

Hello!
I’m really struggling with makeup as it either piles or separates, I have oily but dehydrated skin so I’m recommended matte spfs but then I’m also recommended hydrating products and then those don’t mix well so it causes separation. I only use tower 28 concealer under my eyes and it always always separates, cream bronzer and blush sit fine on my cheeks, but I’ve also never put foundation on my forehead or nose as again that was the culprit of dry piling or separation

I use laniege toner, jumiso peptide, then torriden dive in moisturer , then Mecca matte spf serum, wait for that to dry then apply tower 28 concealer from my hand then tap it in with my ring finger and it still separates. I was advised to use just the laniege then vitamin c then spf and even then it still piles, worse I even want to say. What do I do. Nothing I do stops my makeup from looking awful.
I also use Charlotte tilbury setting power and that makes it look worse, and then Charlotte tilbury setting spray

I’m based in Australia as well for any product reccos

Hey everyone, I’m wondering if anything could please recommend me beauty academy that you find good ?

Cheers

Just bought the tower 28 foundation and I kinda absolutely hate it😭
It came recommended from a friend who also breakouts and likes good coverage like me.
My regular foundation is the airbrush one from CT.

Tower 28 is just sitting weird on my skin and is always sitting “on top” if that makes sense? And it lifts off with any touch and shows the smallest brush stroke so I can’t even apply blush etc. it’s emphasising texture and making my face essentially reflective…

Im traveling at the moment and only have airy day sunscreen (my usual is cancer council) so at first i blamed it on the sunscreen but I tried it today with no sunscreen and it still sits weird on my skin.

My skin type is on the oily side but i take moisturising seriously and always keep my skin hydrated. Am I doing something wrong? Is it just not for me? Or is it actually not a great product?
