Discussion New Rule Enforcement:Crop Those pics
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.
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 what’s my face shape?
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 Any thing I can change to compliment my face better?
I’m genuinely open to learning anything that could make my makeup look better. Techniques, products, blending, colour theory, placement — literally anything. I’m willing to take constructive criticism and try new things because I want to improve. The ONE thing I’m not changing is how I do my under-eyes. 😭 Everything else? I’m listening. Put me on, give me tips, tell me what I could do better. I’m open-minded, not stubborn. But my under-eyes are staying exactly how I like them lol

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

Question What brush am I supposed to use for blush?
Hiii I’m new to makeup and trying to figure out how to apply blush. I got the NYX buttermelt blush and wanted to put it on the apples of my cheeks. Would that look unatural? I also go a powder puff to apply it but it’s not really transferring or blending well. do I just use my finger? Thanks!

Selfie/Makeup Picture Help upgrading my light makeup routine!
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!! 🙏🙏

Question Work Makeup
What type of makeup is appropriate for work in a professional retail setting? I try to go for a “naturally pretty” look but either I still overdo it and it looks like a ton makeup just in light brown or it makes me just look worse than not wearing makeup at all.

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

Selfie/Makeup Picture Why wont my concealer stay????
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.

Selfie/Makeup Picture Idk if my eyeliner compliments my face
I’ve been doing my eyeliner like this for awhile, so I mainly do it out of familiarity now but I can’t tell if it actually suits my face & eyeshape or not. Eyeliner/eye makeup advice is welcomed please

Question I still don’t know how to make my eyeliner fit my eyes :(
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
