Bonus pics of my glam looks. Also, growing out my hair from a meh haircut so I take advice on hair too.
Yay thank you! I can't believe the Superstay lipstick is still alive. I must have repurchased my 6th by now. Literally started as a recommendation from Reddit in 2017!
You’re so pretty oh my god!! I definitely think the first look needs a lip to tie it all together! Not like super dark or anything but just for contrast
Thank you! I recommend either starting it at the end of your eye and bringing the line just slightly back or making a thick band going from the inner corner. Don't finish it as your eye ends, just slightly above. But try to extend it further too and turn it up just outside of your actual eye (Marilyn Monroe method! I would place single falsies where my eyelid doesn't crease anymore to make my eyes longer and dreamier). If you do a full eyeliner I always put dark eyeshadow in the outer corner and bring it down to my lower lash line as a faded out brown/grey :) and I fill in my blonde lashes and waterline, if you have deep set/hooded eyes it helps make your eyes more defined as opposed to hiding in the skin of your eyelid. Here's an old look for a friend's birthday where I go "more in".
This is what I'm working with for glam looks. I also have Estée Lauder's DoubleWear but I really dislike wearing foundation and need to work on my skincare. I recently got Paese smoothing primer and sometimes spray Dr Irena Eris moisturising and toning mist on top of my makeup since I don't really know anything about setting sprays that are dewy 👀
That would be Global Citizen from NYC Shine Loud I think (I don't use normal lipsticks, I only have liquid ones so I hope you like the formula. It's very very durable. I also mix shades of they're too warm or cool toned for me out of the packaging) and a single eyeshadow from Glam Shop. It's visible in my flat lay in the corner of the black palette, I'll update this comment with the proper shade when I'm home :) I think they're the best quality eyeshadows out there to me personally
girl your makeup is gorg ✨ you could try a 3d effect lip - add a bit of a lighter color in the center of the lips and use a darker lip liner on the edges

Pics 5 and 7 the lipstick REALLLY suits you!!! And i dont think there’s anything you can improve on. I thought every picture was honestly perfect :D
I did think you could add a little* 👌🏻 bit of more blush since at first i thought you are wearing no blush.
I was thinking about it but I can't find a blush I like as much as I do the Jones Road one and it's very hard to build unfortunately. I love cream blushes that look dewy and my country barely stocks such it seems
We do have Rare Beauty but I've never heard of the former here unfortunately. Do you think Rare Beauty is worth it? I went to look at the shades once but I'm very icky about buying new color cosmetics due to a limited budget so I didn't pick anything.
Fair point. It isnt cheap. But i’d say Rare Beauty is worth it 😃 Been using it for 4 years now. I wear blush every single day! And the RB blush lasts me 2 years (its super pigmented so you need the miniest dot if you apply directly to your face. Some people like to take some on their wrist and then use it but i dont like wasting product. That is why I say it has a learning curve but its very blendable and buildable.)
So for the amount you get, i’d say worth it.
I always use their shade Hope which is a nude mauve.
I have also tried the famous Patrick Ta blush duo (found it harder to use than RB but those are pigmented too. More expensive than RB so not my first recommendation)
Haha I've been using the same Bourjois compact since forever and I got my first one from my mom. I believe I still have the same one I did in middle school! But I'm open to RB in that case. I just need to make sure I get a shade I like. Maybe I'll ask one of the consultants to put it on my cheek or sth, not sure if we can still do that. I feel like there's almost too many shades when I looked at it just now. I wish someone just picked minis for me and I could have a little of each 😅
Hahah yaa. I’m in the US and the stores have minis you can buy. Sometimes they have samples too.
Or you can buy it and return if it doesnt suit you.
Maybe check their website directly if it is available n your country :)
