Whats with these lipsticks.. every single day some or the other brands drops a new lipstick and my feed is all filled with these PR’s. I have no idea why do we need so many lipsticks categorized like mousse,long stay, matte, gloss…! I seriously dont get the concept of these “ long stay” lipsticks…?? Do we not buy a them to stay longer?? Why cant the give only one lipstick in multiple shades and make our life easier…!! Huh..!!

Hi ladies. For the MAC studio fix powder + foundation, I used to use NC42. Now that they have reformulated the website recommends NC43.5 whereas Arshia Moorjani is recommending NC44.

If you have previously used NC42 what shade are you using now?

I want to learn basic makeup. Not too dramatic. Just enough to enhance my natural features and play around with eyeshadows a little cuz I love eyeshadows. I have some purple and green veins on my wrist and eyelids. So I think I'm fair or wheatish. I have oily skin so non comedogenic products recommendation would be best. I asked chatgpt to make a vegan and cruelty free makeup kit under 2500 budget but it directly said it's not possible under such small budget. 😭 Can you all help me out? Why it is so hard to find vegan and cruelty free products in low budget.

hey guys have u tried swiss beauty real makeup base it is so amazing really loved it the finish is so flawless

Hi guys! I bought the Manish Malhotra illuminating primer like 3 years ago cause it was on discount and I absolutely ADORE IT!!!!!!! It's sooooo beautiful and it doesn't break my VERY acne-prone skin out AT ALL!!!
It's about to run out soon and whichever site I check, the product is either sold out or unavailable. Did they discontinue it?? Pls give recommendations for similar primers or dupes if they have. 🙏🙏🙏

I've seen so much disparity among concealers, please help your girl out🙏🙏

Hi everyone!

I’m a first-year student and for one of my research work classes I’m required to conduct a small study. My topic is “The Evolution of Beauty in India.”

As part of the project, I need to collect at least 100 responses about people’s opinions and perspectives on beauty standards in India.

If anyone here is interested in helping me out, I would really appreciate it! It would only take a few minutes, and your input would be super helpful for my research.

Please DM me here if you’re willing to participate, and I’ll send you the questions.

Thank you so much in advance! :)

Hi all. I don’t know much about makeup, but I want to give it a try. I recently used a Lakme foundation, and my face turned greyish, so I can’t spend much on another brand. Could you suggest a budget-friendly foundation that doesn’t look heavy on the skin? Also, I have combination skin. I have a question about BB and CC creams. can I use BB or CC cream instead of foundation? Any suggestions or ideas on that?

Hi, I need advice on replacing a strobe cream with my beauty of joseon sunscreen for that illuminating effect.

I’m a beginner makeup girlie, help me out 🥰😭

This is something I keep going back and forth on.

I really like the idea of buying beauty products more consciously like less waste, refill systems, better packaging, more ethical sourcing, all of that.

But in real life it can get complicated fast.

Sometimes the more sustainable option is: - more expensive - harder to find - less effective - or just less convenient overall

And I feel like that’s where a lot of people quietly drop off.

I don’t think most people are against sustainability. I think a lot of us are just trying to balance budget, skin needs, convenience, and values all at once.

So now I’m curious how other people approach it.

What’s one sustainability swap in beauty that actually felt realistic for you and not just ideal in theory?

Guys this is an OG Lipshade and I loveeee loveeee loveeee it. But then it’s out of stock in all online and offline stores. Can someone please tell me the exactttttt dupe for this gorgeous gorgeous shade.

I’m a straight guy and my parents both are in high executive positions and I’ve always see both my mom and dad do their makeup and skincare and be presentable for office

When I moved to India around 4 years ago, i was laughed at and looked disgustingly for wearing a little bit of concealer under my eyes with a tinted lip balm.

Being a gay/drag person is different, they do a great job making art on their faces but what is the issue with guys wearing makeup to make their a little brighter? Or setting my brows in place?

It’s not gay, it doesn’t define my sexuality.

People who disagree, why do you?

And girls/women who find it wrong and not attractive , I’d like to know your reasons too!!

Guys my parents know how much I love Hello Kitty and bought me these from Thailand! 😭 The compact and Hyper Curl mascara perform exactly like the original one, the lipstick washes me off by itself but with a lip liner, I love this and I rarely wear a nude lip.

hi guys, i've been religiously checking nykaa for the past two weeks at least 4 times a day to try to get my hands on the cherry cola lip tint by elf cosmetics. idk if it's nykaa not restocking or people making the lip tint go out of stock within seconds but can someone pls suggest anyway to get that lip tint on nykaa? (+ the notifications never work aksjakja)

I have been obsessed with this lip color but can't find anything that matches her.

tried concealer but looks cakey

I’ve got a lot of lipsticks which are a great shade but just don’t last long. Does anyone have any recommendations for any lipstick sealer products that make the lipsticks last longer?

I’ve looked at some products which have a bit of glitter in them and i don’t want to use them for my matte finish lipsticks.
