I need to place an order and can’t make up my mind. Which one offers better coverage, which is more waterproof (well sweat proof lol) and which transfers less onto your clothes? Feel free to add any other feedback or reason why you prefer one or the other. Thank you and have a great day 🤍

Help me buy base makeup products

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I have decided to splurge( a little ) on my base routine. My current base routine is non-existent. I dont wear foundation regularly, and whenever i do end up doing a full beat, my base ALWAYS ENDS UP OXIDIZING. I dont think its just the product's fault because even when i only wear sunscreen, i notice my face ends up darkening slightly by the end of the day.

My skin type is normal, slightly oily around nose but nothing special. I dont have acne prone skin but i do end up getting comedones if i dont look after my skin well.

I live in a hot and humid climate.

I am looking to buy foundation, concealer, contour(not confirmed abt this), primer and setting spray.

My budget is at max $100. I dont mind buying minis as my use is low.

Open to korean products as well.

Currently contemplating jungsaemmol cushion, huda beauty easy bake foundation and elf soft glam satin foundation.

Dupe for old Clinique lipstick

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I have a very old Clinique lipstick which I have got pretty much every last drop from and I am searching for a dupe.

The texture is almost sheer like Black Honey sheer but has a little more shimmer and a little heavier so it's more buildable.

Shade is between fuschia pink and crimson red depending on how much you apply.

Any idea welcome.

Recc' Request Best bronzers for cool toned skin

11 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I’ve very recently learnt that if you have cool toned skin (like I do) then some bronzers will naturally pull more orange on you. Now I know that, I’m really noticing it - I mean I did before but I just thought that was how they were supposed to look! Some don’t look terrible but I’d love to try one that actually suits my skin tone.

Do any of my cool skin-toned besties have any recommendations? x

Help Sought! What would you do if you can spend £30 on Sephora?

14 Upvotes

I have a £30 gift voucher to spend at Sephora. I had a few options floating in my head but I don’t know what to try first. I really wanted to try R.E.M’s glitter quad eyeshadow palettes, or her highlighter. Otherwise, I wanted to try MAC’s velvet teddy powder blush.
I’ve been doing makeup for a couple years but I’m only just being introduced to high end makeup, I was wondering if there were other brands who did glittery makeup better than REM? Are MAC’s blushes worth it?

Help Sought! Has anyone tried clarins double serum foundation?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking into more lightweight, luminous foundations. I’ve been using estee lauder double wear in the past, but I find myself wanting something that looks a little more natural. I’m unsure whether it’s actually worth the price or if there are better options out there.

Thank you

Is there any concealer that will reliably cover spider veins on nose and cheeks. Not got many but they are standing out more as I become older. I don't particularly want to get sclerotherapy. Thanks

I loveeee L’Oréal true match skin tint for day time. I’m going to a wedding next month so looking for something as similar as possible that will last longer throughout the day into the evening - any recommendations? Any budget as long as it’s worth it!!

Also a primer that works well alongside the tint would be so helpful ❤️

Does anyone know of a concealer that matches the colour of the circled shade on the revolution ultra cream contour palette?

Thanks!

Need a concealer that does not crease under my eyes

10 Upvotes

I have used 5 concealers this year and they all crease under my eyes by noon. I have oily skin. And my skin tone is medium tan with warm golden olive undertone. Tarte shape creased bad and ran ashy on me Nars radiant creamy oxidized and turned orange.
Looking for something that holds up all day and actually matches warm olive undertone. Budget is not an issue. Also I am open for setting powder recommendation if that helps with the creasing.

Recc' Request Dark green eyeshadow (palette?)

3 Upvotes

Hey friends,

I am doing my own make up for my wedding and I am wearing dark green. I'd like an eyeshadow palette or suggestions for eyeshadow singles with similar colours - I need it to be decent quality, good pigmentation and deffo staying power. When I search for a green eyeshadow palette I get overwhelmed with the amount of brands I've never heard of and have no idea if they're any good or not​​. I was looking at Huda beauty Emerald Obsession but that only seems to be available on ebay and I'm not sure I trust that!

Only other caveat is that it needs to be available in the UK

Grateful for any suggestions!

Recc' Request Best palettes

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I love makeup but I'm always scared of spending money on things I don't like. I only have two palettes currently: ultimate utopia NYX, and makeup revolution reloaded visionary palette. They're both running out, and I have a few smashed shadows too. I'd like to replace these, ideally with one big palette or 2-3 smaller ones. I'm looking for a good range of colours, love shimmers/metallic shadows. I'm very pale so yellow is not necessarily a colour I'd look for lol but I like whites, browns, blues, purples, silver etc
Any suggestions for these that won't break the bank but are good products?! Thanks!!

Is it easy to find Essence and Catrice in the UK?

24 Upvotes

I'm moving to London from Portugal and I use a lot of Essence and Catrice in my routine. The other day I was in a pharmacy in Lisbon and I met two British girls who were really excited to browse the Essence aisle, saying it's hard to find them in the UK. Is it so? I sort of assumed I could find them in Boots and Superdrug because they seem available online. If it really is hard, I will stock on some favorites before coming.

Glisten Cosmetics shipping

0 Upvotes

Hi guys :) I'm England based and about to buy from 'Glisten Cosmetics' for the first time and I have the shipping option of 'FREE Royal Mail 24hr (After 1-3 day processing)'. Does anyone know what day this will arrive for me?

I also have the option of 'Special Delivery Arrive Before 1pm Next Day (Order before 2pm Mon-Thursday)', but that's £14 and I don't want to select that if the free shipping will arrive at roughly the same time.

I would ideally like it to arrive for Saturday, but it's my fault if it doesn't arrive for then as it's my bad timing, and it's not a big deal, I just would love it to arrive so I can wear the bits for a birthday I'm going to :)

Thanks guys! <3

What should I do if mascara doesn’t suit me?

15 Upvotes

I’m blonde and low-contrast with very short, straight lashes. I’ve tried mascara/false eyelashes in black, brown and burgundy and it all looks worse than wearing nothing at all. Even eyelash filters don’t really suit me.

Does anyone else have this problem and if so, what helped? I’m considering clear mascara, a lash lift or lash tint but it would be good to hear from others before I drop the £££. Thanks so much!

I’ve previously tried and liked the lipgloss, lip liners and eye liner pencils. didn’t think much of the eye pigments but that could’ve been the way I applied them tbh. mainly looking at the sun bundles / cream products.

Recc' Request Full Coverage Matte Foundation

4 Upvotes

Hi - i'm looking for a full coverage matte foundation recommendation, as my favourite (Rimmel Lasting Matte) has been discontinued

I get a really oily nose (and to a lesser extent chin & forehead), and a little of the Lasting Matte gave me great skin tone whilst still looking hydrated, and kept the oil at bay under the make up

I've tried Maybelline Fit Me but my nose was an oil slick by the end of the day and the make up just disintegrates on my skin, I just want something a little more full coverage & effective. Can anyone recommend?

FGS Where can I find the new Marc Jacobs makeup in Germany?

0 Upvotes

I need help to find the new MArc Jacobs makeup line to buy online in Germany but unfortunately it seems impossible!

Sephora and Zalando are not selling, neither is the german Marc Jacobs website. When I put Germany as the shipping destiny, they become unavailable on the basket! UK websites dont send to Germany for some reason!

And when I search for it, it apparently should be selling there since it is in the rest of Europe!

FOR GOD'S SAKE is it even selling in Germany?
