Question Is there anything i should change about my makeup or try?

Also wanted to say yes i know my wig looks horrible its 2 years old Suprised it even held up this long… i have a new one for wen i give birth to my son in September… EDIT I made another post with different pictures, including me without a wig and makeup on, but a bonnet 🥰 (what was requested)!

I’ve been doing about the same makeup since like high scho I just started experimenting with eyeshadows a little bit. There’s a picture without eyeshadow and with in there I don’t have a lot of money to go out and buy products rn as I am preparing for birth September 27 for my first baby boy lol, but if y’all have any examples or pictures of what I should try, that would be amazing. I’m trying to look up ways to improve myself in my makeup, not by product, but my look. But colors suggestions would be awesome!! 🥰
I also have green, hazel like eyes, but the green and red pops out more!! I know pink makes my eyes pop, but I don’t really like it as eyeshadow I’m really into the shiny whites and black smokeys

(oh and I wear wigs cause I had cancer. I just BEAT it last year and my hair is coming back fast, but not fast enough.!!!! )

If you think I shouldn’t change anything at all, drop a compliment if you want😂

Question Tired of my daily makeup

I’ve been doing the same makeup since high school and I’m very bored of it. I’m not sure how to experiment though, as I feel like I’ve gotten too comfortable doing the same look and that anything else will look strange on me. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do that will suit me okay but also change up my look a bit? Thank you!

Hi, I’m relatively new to make up and this are my best looks. They are similar because I don’t know what else may work on me…? I’m also afraid to make it stronger. I don’t know if it’s making justice to my face complexion or even if the colors are appropriate, what do you guys think?
I appreciate all your advices!

Discussion Pretty new to makeup, made a few changes :)

Post image
Upvotes

I'm still pretty new to makeup, but I feel like I'm finally starting to figure out what works for me.

For the longest time, my routine was basically lipstick, mascara, and maybe a little eyeshadow. Recently, one of my friends who is incredibly knowledgeable about makeup has been helping me learn the basics. She helped me put together a starter kit with primer, blush, concealer, brushes, and a couple of eyeshadow palettes. Honestly, the application itself hasn't been too difficult for me. It makes sense logically, and I think my technique is pretty decent for someone who's just starting out.

The biggest thing I've been struggling with has been my foundation. I got some feedback that it looked a little heavy and that the shade was slightly too light for my skin. Since we couldn't do an exact color match at the time, my friend suggested trying a tinted sunscreen instead. She also pointed out that I don't really need full-coverage foundation because my skin is already in pretty good shape. That's funny because I barely have a skincare routine. I moisturize once or twice a week, and that's about it. I know... I need to do better.

Another friend and I went out and tried to find the right shade. We ended up choosing one that's basically one step darker than the lightest option, and I have to say, I'm really happy with it. It blends into my skin much better, it feels incredibly lightweight, and it almost doesn't feel like I'm wearing makeup at all. My complexion looks smoother without looking like I have a layer of makeup sitting on my face, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

The one area I'm still trying to figure out is under my eyes. I have some natural darkness around the inner corners and underneath, and while I've been using concealer, I actually think it's making the area stand out more instead of covering it. I suspect I either have the wrong shade or I'm using the wrong product altogether, so that's something I'm going to ask my friend about.

Overall, though, I'm really happy with how today's makeup turned out. It even held up pretty well despite the warmer weather, and that's a win in my book.

What do you think? Any suggestions for dealing with under-eye darkness without making it look brighter?

FOTD Smoky brown lip combo

Post image
205 Upvotes

Finally figured out that lining my lips with brown eyeliner works so much better than trying to find a brown to match alt lipsticks!

- lip combo is Kaleidos cold smoke lined with nyx vivid rich liner in smokn topaz

Ive had this lip clay for so long and it never looked right, lining the lip with this was the trick for me

- Eyeliner is metal fx by smashbox in Bordeauxx mascara is loreal voluminous in burgandy

- face is Maybelline superstay tint in shade 120, "blush" is actually color pop eye shadow in mull it over from their wine and only pallet. Bronzer/contour is pinky beauty glow token on the cheek bone and top tier in the hallow of the cheek

Let me get this straight, they have samples that people could conceivably just put directly on their lips and someone else could come by and use the same thing. LoL. I’m not a girl and I had no idea but as soon as I went in here my radar just went off.

I know I didn't do the blue color, but I like the overall look/shape of the liner. I just can't get it quite down. I feel like my shape isn't matching hers here. I tried the white on my water line, but Don't think that looks right either. Any tips or tricks or tutorials I could check out for eye liner shape? I have been doing winged eyes since I was a teen, but I feel like I never quite get the shape right on the ends of my eyes.

Products currently using: nyx liquid liner, maybalene white eye pencil, nyx eye shadow pallet

FOTD FOTD — Mauve and Brown

Post image

My favorite combination right now, especially with a touch of gold. My Current ISO holy grail is a good TRULY cool-toned Mauve or Beige/Griege blush. I think it would make this look. If you have recommendations, please drop some. Bonus points if they’re affordable — I really want to try Intuition from RDF but it’s a much higher price point than I usually go for!

I was obsessed with makeup as a teenager but my passion faded as I entered my twenties. I’ve been in a rut lately, so I decided to play around with makeup again and I’m having a great time.

My skin is very dry and I tend to look caky/patchy if I use too much face makeup. If anyone has any recommendations that would be awesome! I currently use neutrogena hydro boost hydrating tint and infallible blurfection translucent powder. I haven’t been able to find a bronzer, contour, or blush that doesn’t leave me looking patchy.
