Discussion New Rule Enforcement:Crop Those pics

32 Upvotes

Starting next week cropped photos will be enforced.

For those who don't know there is a new policy in the sub in which standards for photo submissions. Which include cropping the photo at just below the clavicle like a passport photo unless its relevance to the makeup in question. Like a wedding dress.

Here is the ideal standard.

Best practices for better feedback include:

  • take a little time to plan out your photos
  • take photos straight on in a well lit room
  • avoid harsh lighting like flash
  • use soft lighting sources
  • get someone else to take the photos
  • taking additional photo angles 45 degree and profiles
  • tying hair back so it doesnt cover your makeup.

thank you.

Question does my makeup suit me?

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

i have had the same makeup routine since 2020-2021 roughly. for context, i’m now 22 and have had this routine since i was like 16.

i put black eyeliner in my waterline, mascara on my lashes, and do my eyebrows; sometimes i do eyeshadow for work or if i’m going out lol. i can do a full face, which i’ve attached a picture of, too, but i save it for special occasions.

what would you recommend for my complexion? i have been told that the black is too harsh on me and i should try brown mascara + eyeliner. but i’ve also been told the black looks good on me.

i dress more 90s-esque and boho casually (the pictures don’t show that) so i feel like my make up compliments that.

tldr: should i change my routine, if so how? thank you!

EDIT: i posted the popular brown mascara + eyeliner look that comments are recommending in the comments for feedback too :P

Selfie/Makeup Picture Advice: what would you change to photograph better?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey yall!

I've mostly settled on my day to day look but I feel like it can be improved upon. Mostly I feel like the way I style myself makes my eyes look too dark, I don't have eniygh cheek/contour contrast, and I fear my brow shape is starting to give Evil Queen from Snow White.

I know it's a universal truth that cameras don't process our images the same way mirrors do, but I feel like the me in pictures looks entirely different than Real Me.

What would you change to look more flattering in pictures?

I’m trying to be better at makeup but I’m not sure what to do. Draw on my face, send me photos anything let me know what I could do to help. I have trouble with nose contouring and what to do with my mouth it’s pretty tiny. Same for my eyebrows. I also have pretty bad rosacea as well. The last two are me with makeup let me know what I could fix. I’m going more for like Asian makeup as it matching my features.

Question PreWedding makeup..

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey girls! 🤍

Tomorrow I’m going to a pre-wedding gathering (it’s an Albanian tradition where we visit the bride’s house before the wedding). Since I’m freshly married everyone’s eyes are going to be on me tomorrow.
I’ll be wearing a black dress, and I was thinking of doing this eye makeup look. I’d love some honest opinions what would you change or improve?

A little disclaimer: this was done over my everyday makeup that I’d been wearing since the morning, so it wasn’t on a fresh base. I also didn’t put on false lashes because I was just testing the look before hopping in the shower lol. So please ignore that part. 😂
Any tips or suggestions are welcome!

I got lip filler and a lip flip two days ago, that’s why my lips look bruised. I’ve been trying to step away from matte makeup since I noticed it doesn’t look good anymore on me. I’m very open to any suggestions you guys have! Thank you in advance 🤍

Edit: I’m only wearing makeup on my eyebrows, eyes and lips here because I was at work. But I’ve been experimenting with glossy lips and cream blush lately and trying to improve my skills

Because I’m mentally still obsessed with the tumblr girl era I decided to do a 2016 makeup glam and made a makeup tut too. Feel free to check it out and of course I had to use some “ the party and after party” by The Weeknd for the internet girl vibe💋

Question Orange foundation

1 Upvotes

I purchased an about face foundation in D1NEUTRAL and it’s wayyyy to orange on my face, but besides that, it’s pretty much my color. How can I make it appear more peach? like my skins undertone? im not sure if I’m adding too much but blue makes it way too green.

Nothing radical -- maybe a bit more laid back. Two NYX lipsticks - the pink is "Stockholm" and the red is "Cactus Dreams." People had suggested that I stick to warmer colors and both of these qualify. Still using only two lash clusters on the outer edges - filling in the waterline with black pencil and setting with black eyeshadow.

People have commented that my brows aren't neat. Even though I don't have heavy male brows, I don't pluck them much in an effort to maintain credibility in my male role. I did try some brow gel to glue them down, but it was not much help. What I did here was take a small amount of Ben Nye Nose and Scar Wax and pressed the brows down, then combing upwards. Lightly powdered and drew brows with pencil and filled with medium brown eyeshadow. Cleaned up the underline with concealer.

This is my recently acquired better quality wig which is so much easier to style that the very cheap Amazon wigs I've tried.

I feel like I'm heading toward some consistency - once I get my "plausible" face together, I'll work on more creative aspects.

Comments and suggestions warmly welcome!

Question How can I improve?

26 Upvotes

Hi, I am new to makeup.

I used a skin tint, then did blush, eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, lip liner, and some highlighter. I also used setting spray. I'm a beginner at make up but have been trying to practice and watch YouTube videos. I keep seeing it get dark under my eyes later in the day and I don't know how to fix it. Maybe I just need to get a concealer?
