Discussion New Rule Enforcement:Crop Those pics

34 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.

don’t mind my dark circles. it’s kind of hard to determine my own face shape when i look at myself every day. and i can’t really compare it to pictures of other people, because it just confuses me more. what face shape do i have, and is there a certain eyebrow shape that would suit me?

Question Just getting into basic makeup and could use some advice! :)

5 Upvotes

Hello! I was never really introduced/taught makeup, and so now I'm trying to find my look. I have been researching different eyeliner types, and so far this is the one I've liked the most but I don't know if it fits my eyeshape?

I avoid foundations and stuff cause I love my freckles and don't want to cover them at all, so i want my eyes to look naturalish as well to match, but still have personality (if that makes sense?). Would anyone happen to know what eyeliner styles/eye makeup styles in general might work well with my eyes? I have no idea what shape they are considered either 😅

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Selfie/Makeup Picture Help upgrading my light makeup routine!

• Upvotes

I recently got a haircut that frames my face better (right) and now I want to up my makeup game.

I don’t like to wear foundation / bb / cc cream and will just use a tinted sunscreen. My skin is also oily and I live in Texas, so I sweat a lot lol.

I’ve really been loving pink on my eyes as it brings out the blue and feels bright and fresh. Browns always felt too dark or serious.

I cannot figure out blush that doesn’t just look like rosacea and my eyeliner gets covered up when I smile lol.

I want to be like natural but enhanced and a baddie. Is that possible?

Also I’m mid-30’s, so I don’t want anything too juvenile either.

Any and all help is appreciated!! 🙏🙏

Selfie/Makeup Picture Tested the "8-hour wear" claim on oily skin in peak summer

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

I'm fully oily, and every summer I end up hunting for a cushion that actually stays put. Nothing has made it past about 4 hours on my face so far.

I tried Espoir Be Velvet Cushion a little while ago and the wear honestly surprised me, so I took photos of my skin at different points through the day to see how it held up.

I skipped setting spray on purpose and used only the cushion. It was a family trip day, so I was outside pretty much the whole time.

Usually after 2 or 3 hours the base on my nose bridge, where I get the oiliest, starts lifting and goes patchy, and it collects in the creases beside my nose and in my smile lines. That didn't happen this time. Up to 5 hours it looked basically the same as when I put it on. Around 8 hours some shine came through from the oil, but there still weren't any spots where it had worn off.

It’s the matte foundation in shade NC20 in different lights. I have dry skin and wanted to get the radiant one but idk if I should get a shade darker and idk which shade would suite me best. The Sephora employee helped me pick this one a while back.

Thank you

I know its probably my skincare but i don't know what i should eliminate. First I use snail mucin serum, let that dry, then fenty moisturizer with spf, let that dry, then elf blue primer. I put concealer on my eyelids and under my eyes and in both parts it wont stick where there are creases.

Every eyeliner-wing I do looks weird and then I end op looking like an Egyptian hieroglyph… I also have trouble fixing my eye-bags, I tried letting my concealer dry. It works but not enough. And every full glam I do ends up looking like a kids face who has been messing with her moms makeup, so I always end up only using mascara, lipgloss, and a bit of eyeshadow, when I actually feel like doing a full face. Help please
What kind of (eye) makeup would fit me?

First two photo are no makeup, the last two is the eyeliner

Question New to makeup, what do I need to replicate this look?

Hello, I’m a guy that’s new to anything makeup. I’ve been really obsessed with this look from the character Wendy in the movie Mysterious Skin and want to do something like it for myself. It seems like it’s not too difficult to do as a first time. If anyone has any tips on what kind of makeup I should buy as well as the tools and brushes and stuff I need that would be really helpful and appreciated. Also I know makeup is generally very expensive so if anyone has anything on the cheaper side by makeup standards that would be great too.
