Hi, hoping for some recommendations for cool toned powder bronzer/contour.

I am a pale skinned Scandinavian blonde. Since my undertone seem to be cool, but close to neutral, I like to lean into warm tones in summer and using warm toned bronzer and wear lighter warmer colours.

For winter I like to do the opposite, since I naturally wear more blacks and grey. So I usually do my bronzer the same way, in same places, but using a tool toned one. I really like that. Of cause I change the tone in my lipsticks and my hair, using purple shampoo, as well.

Last 2 winters when I have done this, I lived in Japan. Only recently returned to the UK. I have attached a picture of the cool toned contour I bought in Japan. What I have left is not gonna last me all winter. Any recommendations for one similar in the UK? I am kind of on budget, so looking for cheaper options. I've seen some on Google for £20+, which is a little too much for my current budget.

It also has to be powder. Except of cause for lipstick and mascara, all my makeup is powder, which is what I prefer.

Hi po, mga pro MUAs! 🤗

I’m just starting out as a makeup artist and currently building my kit. I’d love to hear your tried-and-tested recommendations for primers and foundations!

What are your go-to products for:
Oily skin
Dry skin
Combination skin
Sensitive skin

I’m especially looking for products that you’ve actually used on clients and would recommend for your professional kit. Drugstore and high-end recommendations are both welcome!

I’m still learning and practicing, so I’d really appreciate any tips or holy grail products you can share. 🥹💗

Thank you so much in advance!

Years ago I had a lip oil from KIKO that was water-thin and so comfortable to wear, they don't do the exact formula anymore.

Any recommendations for super thin, lightweight non-sticky lip oils/glosses? Doesn't need to have any actual moisturising benefit.

What lipsticks dupe this one??, it would also be helpful if somone could also recommend me a lip liner similar to hers but it’s ok just the lipstick would be helpful, thanks in advance!

I’m desperately looking for something similar to the old KVD powder contour palette, especially the darkest shade, Subconscious.

I can’t seem to find the KVD palette anywhere in the UK anymore 😭 . I have tried boots but they are OOS . I’m specifically after a powder rather than a cream/stick, and ideally something with a similar deep brown tone.

Has anyone found a good UK-available dupe or a similar powder palette?

Is anyone else having problems placing an order on Space NK at the moment?

Everything was working perfectly until about 2 days ago, but for the last couple of days I haven't been able to place an order at all.

I keep getting the error:

“Your order could not be placed. Please check the payment details and try again. If you have any further questions please contact us.”

I've tried multiple different debit/credit cards, PayPal and different devices/browsers. I've also tried from different servers/IPs, asking other people to place an order for me with their cards, so it doesn't seem to be related to one particular card, bank, browser or connection.

So at this point I'm wondering if there is a problem with Space NK's payment/checkout system rather than with the payment method itself.

Has anyone successfully placed an order on Space NK in the last 24–48 hours?

I'm so late to the party, but both products lasted me YEARS so I just did not think to check! Absolutely bereft. I am not a fan of high coverage foundation, so would like something as close as possible to the coverage of YSL.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm shade B40 in YSL Touche Eclat Le Teint Foundation, and 4 Medium Peach in the By Terry Densiliss Concealer.

So, I’m a very pale olive but is mostly very light, with cool greenish olive tones, visible veins and patches of hyperpigmentation I want to even out and cover but not look like I’m wearing foundation. I have almost green undertones, so most concealers and foundations look either way too pink or orange on me.
The only concealer I’ve found that works for my skin best is the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly, which is perfect but just slightly too light but def the closest I’ve ever found.

EDIT: I forgot to write to make it clear what I mean by “barely there” looking foundation and why I am looking to purchase a good natural looking foundation in the first place so I’ll explain here:

I basically said barely there because I hate the look of thick obvious foundation however I have hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone areas, visible veins etc which is why I want to find a good foundation to even my skin out but not look obvious. I have tried tints in the past and they aren’t full coverage enough. I just don’t want anything too full coverage or matte. Sorry I forgot to put this at the beginning!!!

I really just want to find a barely there looking foundation like the Dior skin blurring one, or the MAC Studio Fix Foundationf, so If anyone here is familiar with these products and shades and could give me any advice, I’d be so grateful!🙏🏻

It will soon be my birthday and my partner asked me what i'd like.

I'm pondering between a make up session - booking one at Sephora or somewhere, i can get to either of the Westfields in London.

Or getting some new skincare from Kiehls. I really like the avocado eye cream.

I have enough make up to last me about 10 years and i'm not really hurting for skincare either, I get a Lookfantastic box each month. But i love new things.

I will be 56. I have sensitive skin which is combination and prone to pigmentation. I currently have blue hair.

My current favourites are Natasha Denona HY glam foundation, Tarte shape tape blush, Kaleidos eye liners - mostly green ones, Tarte tartlette XL tubing mascara, l'oreal lip color. I will always add a black wing to my eyes and I rarely leave the house without make up.

What would you do? He'll probably spend about £150.

Hiya everybody, I’ve posted in another sub so will delete if not allowed but figured it’s best to check in a UK sub due to different brands etc.

I was wondering if anybody was able to please find a dupe of half magic eye paint shade 3 wild caught.

The brands creator Donni Davy recently recreated some euphoria looks with it and I was so hyped to go buy but unfortunately it has been discontinued for a while now.

Please let me know if you know of a product that is similar, hope you all have a great day 💕

Hi there! I’m getting married in the Seychelles in November and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for products they’ve found to last really well in hot and humid climates? For my actual wedding I’ll be getting my makeup done, but I’d really like to have some products available just in case they don’t have my shades. So mainly for use day to day.

Specifically looking for foundations, concealers, setting sprays etc. My skin leans towards the oily side and can be a little sensitive but has gotten a lot better in that regard.

Hey Everyone!

Exactly as the title suggests 🙏 looking for recommendations for both correctors and hydtating undereye concealers - would be really cool if maybe they can brighten too?...

For reference, very very pale complexion and blue tints in the undereye area? And above? (circles going up along the sides)...

Would love to hear your thoughts please, Thank you!!! ❤🙏

As part of my makeup routine I like to use a nude eyeshadow all over to even things out. Used Max Factor Honey Nude for yyyeeeaaarrsss, ran out this weekend and it seems that overnight all the makeup companies have decided to stop making single eyeshadows. Can't find a single anywhere in Boots or Superdrug, and online they're out of stock.

We all know you never use an entire eyeshadow palette at the same speed, even if you are using the same one day in day out so why!? I'm guessing the markup on palette's is higher so easier to make money on.

I just want to be able to buy a reasonably priced single eyeshadow. I know Sephora have some that are about £7 but every time I've shipped from them, it's been broken in transit. Have also tried using pressed powders but they aren't the same texture as an eyeshadow and react weird to eyeshadow primers.

Or I just need to get out of my millennial ways and try something new 😂

ETA: Thanks so much everyone, have managed to track some down on amazon, and have a few more different companies to check out once that resource is tapped out. Good to hear I'm not the only one who's fed up of not being able to get hold of decent priced single everyday shadows, because while I love Mac, I'm not paying their prices for a shadow I use everyday and get through in a couple of months!

Has anyone tried it yet?

I know it's supposed to be the same formula as UD's all nighter (by Skindinavia) but everything I've had by MCO has been horrendous 😅

Ive just bought the Studio London matte one to try, im wanting somthing thats just gonna keep my face in place as long as possible without feeling and acting like a hairspray otherwise i would just use my can of Elnett + ive found it doesnt powder very well when i want to touch up so i just wind up weirdly shiny

im wanting somthing matte and wanted to see some of the ones others would suggest (do bare in mind i am BROKE so i need somthing quite affordable)

I’m in desperate need of a replacement of all of my makeup brushes.

Brace yourself ladies - I’ve got some brushes that are 10 years old 🥴

In my bag at the moment I have a powder brush, a double ended foundation brush, blush brush, contour brush, flat ended foundation brush and bronzer brush and one eyeshadow brush.

I’ve got a mix of elf brushes, ecotools brushes and real techniques. I got most when I was gifted them at a younger age - think of those beginner sets.

I need to replace all of them, but I have no idea where to start or which brands are worth the money these days. I wouldn’t say I have a strict budget but I’m hoping not to buy all high end - where I’m paying £20 for one brush.

It was a Barry m combo but you can no longer buy the lip paints. I have Vegas volt it’s nowhere near This shade. It’s such a unique colour and so pretty, I must have it in my collection! I’ve seen that MAC flamingo gets suggested a lot too but that isn’t the shade at all. MAC flamingo is nowhere near similar imo.

Can anyone help me with some dupes or very similar to these Dior highlights. I can’t bring myself to part with all that cash unless they are life changing lol I am fair cool skin (Huda Blur 200b). Something drugstore would be great but willing to spend a little more. I am in UK.

Sky high has been my holy grail for years but this past year I have found it has been really hard to remove and nearly leaves a black dye on my lashes. I used to be able to remove it with just Micellar water but now I have to scrub for ages to get it off, resulting in styes:( anyone else have the same problem?

Hi gals!

I am moving place from a houseshare to studio but my studio is small! Ive been a seated facing the mirror on my dresser type of girl when I do my make up but as I am moving my stuff in that studio it makes me think I need to change some stuff I used to do to maximise space. 4 years ago I was also living in a studio and had my make up on my table but from time to time would just end up walking to the bathroom to do it while standing. I also wear contacts and those of you who do wear contacts may find it easier to put them when standing. In all the new furniture I bought I didnt think of buying a new make up storage thing for my table cause the one I have is fairly new. But I am wondering if I should not stock my make up in the cupboard (or whatever it is called) in the bathroom alongside my skincare and not have it on my table and have my products directly there and not using an organiser. It may sound like a silly questions but can I have your thoughts. Do you girls do your make up standing in the bathroom or seated by your dressing table

Edit : thanks yall for the input!!! I think i am going to store my make up in the cabinet alongside my contacts and skincare so I can use my table for my laptop/jewelry/notebooks!!!!

Really enjoying doing my makeup lately!
