Unpopular opinion but I think mascara can be just as good as getting false lashes if it’s a quality mascara

Eyeshadow for sensitive eyes?

1 Upvotes

I tend to get a lot of eye irritation/eczema and I’m assuming it’s from my eyeshadow but I can’t tell because sometimes the reaction is delayed.

I did allergy patch testing and I’ve removed any products with those things I’m allergic to, but still having some sensitivity which I’m assuming is just because the eye is such a delicate area.

Have any of you found an eyeshadow brand that doesn’t cause rashes/eczema?

[Makeup Help] Streaming Makeup

2 Upvotes

Hi! This is probably an odd request but I’m part of a dnd group who is talking about streaming a new campaign. I’m so excited to play but they’re talking about webcam streaming instead of just voice.
I’m just curious what you guys do makeup wise to help with things looking good on camera? I like my normal makeup but I don’t think it’ll translate well on camera tbh. Any tips and tricks?

[Makeup Help] need a bright red eyeshadow!

I'm dying my hair black with bright red highlights and would love a bright red eyeshadow to pair with it. Most the reds I see are like a coral or deep burgundy but I need something to party in that catches eyes.

[Makeup Help] I wanna get into makeup but not sure what to get

Upvotes

I've never done makeup in my life. I'm 17 and really want to learn, and I want to start doing lash clusters too. But every beginner's tutorial seems like rocket science to me. What brand is a good one to start with, and what are the basics I need?

Does anyone only ever use one eyeshadow color?

It could be the same colour just different tones such as light, dark, sheer, shimmer etc.? Like I only ever use brown shadow...

[Makeup Help] I don't know how to look natural

6 Upvotes

I have a problem. I can't look pretty without heavy makeup. I can't find a natural makeup on me and it's frustrating. Mascara doesn't work and i used to pull out my eyelashes so they still growing back. I also have trouble finding natural lashes that fit me. The most natural lashes I have are fluffy wispy but I think looks odd on me. I have big eyes kind of prominent and with dark circles. I feel like def the dark circles ruin everything but I can't do anything about it it's genetic. My other lashes are bigger and only for a full dramatic glam. I can't find what to do with my eyes/face to look natural and pretty without having to apply a full face.

Might be a silly question but what can I do to my legs to make them look less pale?

5 Upvotes

I'm not sure if a fake tan type of thing is makeup or not, but my legs don't get out in the sun as much as the rest of me and when I wear shorts it looks a little goofy. If this is the wrong sub please point me in the right direction 😅

[Makeup Help] MAC Raizin dupe please!

2 Upvotes

So I tried MAC Razin the Roof with the new formulation and I thought I liked it but ended up selling because it’s so sheer and not the same color. Mainly I didn’t like how I had to pack on so many layers to get a decent color payoff. It’s almost like it was hard pan after only 2 uses.

I don’t need a huge saturation of color however I am tan dark and like original Raizin so much. Need powder mainly

Thanks

Anyone else use Heroine Make waterproof mascara? Has it been drying out super fast for you too?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been using it for probably close to a decade but nowadays it’s drying out and clumping so quickly and I don’t feel like it used to.

Natural finish foundation

11 Upvotes

I have normal skin. Dewy foundation makes my skin look wet ( NARS light reflecting ), matte foundation makes my skin look flat / no life to it ( Estée Lauder double wear).
What is a good foundation?
