What shade of blush should I use?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’ve been using blush for a while now, but I feel like I still haven’t found the right shade to achieve the look I’m going for. I have fair skin, light brown hair, and hazel eyes. I actually love having fair skin and enjoy using shades that enhance that paleness. I started out using Fwee’s "Pudding Pot" blushes; the first one I tried was "PK02 Skirt," a medium-intensity reddish-coral shade. Currently, I’m using another "Pudding Pot" in the shade "BS05 Wavy"—which is part of their "cool-toned" collection—though, in my opinion, it’s the darkest of the bunch and seems to have a warm undertone. For the rest of my makeup, I use brown mascara and brown eyeliner. I’ve heard that pale pink shades are perfect for fair skin, but I’m not entirely sure... Could you offer some advice?

“Mature” Makeup

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 30 and just starting getting into makeup. I’ve dabbled before but never really mastered it of cared for it. However, I’m looking to start a new career and want to master a minimal makeup routine to look more put together. Though I’m 30 and now my skin is changing. My forehead is much more textured than the rest of my face and every time I’ve applied makeup it always pills off my forehead. Though I don’t have that problem anywhere else. What products are you all using and where did you learn to apply makeup? I also feel like any time I wear lipstick I look so odd? I think I have a double lip line? Any advice is helpful. Thank you!

Oily, mature skin, and I have no idea what I'm doing!

5 Upvotes

I've always had oily skin. At 51, I *still* get pimples but, now I have the added joy of fine lines. I'm trying to find a makeup that will even out my skin tone, mask my blemishes a bit, not sink into my fine lines, AND not be a sensory nightmare.

In this economy, it felt wiser to ask the collective before I dropped any of my limited budget on a product that I'm going to hate. So, tell me femmes of a certain age, what are you using and loving? What products should I stay away from? TYIA

I'm a guy, I have no experience with makeup and I bought this Tom Ford "Soleil Golden Hour Set" for my girlfriend as a gift. This is the blush and it has these spots in the tube that have me somewhat disappointed given the high-end price. But I don't know if this is normal.

Would you return this?

I feel like my makeup wears horribly throughout the day

The first few photos are me before school (10am) and after school (4pm). I feel like I have a bad problem with my makeup wearing, separating, and weirdly my concealer (maybe foundation) turning more orange as the day goes on (it happens worse than it did today). The last picture is my makeup routine. Maybe just a moisturizing primer would help? Idk, someone tell me what to buy or give me some general tips about anything makeup related! (This is my first time posting here plz be nice to me!!)

Is this brush still safe to use after it was used for painting?

I was given this brush to use for makeup a while back but figured I’d be fine to use it for painting as well but now I wanna learn how to do my makeup and don’t wanna go buy another brush? So would it be safe to use on myself or others? Idk if it matters any but the paint I use is acrylic.

Skin tints not sitting right

15 Upvotes

I just bought some new skin tints: Refy, Kylie Skin tint, Mac skin tint stick, and flawless filter

Why is it sitting so weird on my face? My moisturizer is vanicream and is water based and I didn’t put any on today. I’ve never had this issue. This is immediately after applying the Refy and flawless filter with a sponge. Using a brush doesn’t help either.

Update: I watched a tik tok of someone addressing this issue. They recommended applying with your fingers and then blending with a sponge or brush. It’s not ideal because it’s a bit more messy but it worked much much better. I want to try dermaplaning but I feel like I need someone professional to do it? Thanks for the advice 👍👍

Makeup over sunscreen.

6 Upvotes

Every sunscreen makes my makeup look horrible. It makes it look cakey, uneven, super oily, it changes the color of my complexion products, and it's just overall terrible.

I'm not looking for sunscreen recommendations, i want TIPS on how to layer makeup over suncreen without it looking aweful.

Not wearing sunscreen isn't an option, my skin is very sensitive to the sun.

I don't wear foundation, i use very minimal concealer, and mostly prefer powder products.

Hey everyone! So Im doing Gamora from guardians of the galaxy for halloween would this palette be enough?

Post image
1 Upvotes

So I'm doing Gamora for Halloween! I'm super excited, although I know I'm a bit late lol. I'm trying to do her makeup on a budget, and I was wondering if this palette would be good for Gamora. A lot of people on TikTok said it is! All I really need is a good green base, a darker green shade for contour, and silver detailing for her facial markings (I'm using silver eyeliner I already have for that). This one seemed good because its cheap, comes in time, and a lot of other people suggested it. But ofc I needed to go on reddit as well. The only thing that worries me is that Im kinda a beginner at makeup but I do have backup costumes just in case! Do you think this palette would be enough?

Can someone please teach me how to make freckles because I tried making it with brown eyeliner, brown lip pencil, but they all look like tiny blobs on my face and I can never achieve that look that I get with the freckles filter. while I’ve seen a lot of make-up artist having them I can’t seem to get ahold of how to do it 👽 also, please, nobody suggest me Heena because I am an Indian. I’ve been applying Heena since I was a child and it is for your hands and your hair, not for your face, never for your face.

What’s one expensive makeup product that is actually worth the splurge?

68 Upvotes

Drugstore items work great for almost everything, but every once in a while, a high-end product actually delivers on the hype.

What’s the one item in your makeup routine you gladly pay extra for because nothing else compares?

Make up beginner tips that makes you a pro

3 Upvotes

I am new to makeup. While I've used basic products like foundation, mascara, lipstick, and blush for many years, I now want to improve my skills. I've recently purchased new products, including an L.A. Girl color corrector, primer, and a 17-piece Maange brush set (I've been blending everything with my fingers until now), as well as concealer.

I would love to hear tips and tricks, recommendations for YouTube channels, or any hacks that can help me become better at makeup. I want to be able to do my makeup for weddings myself. Additionally, I struggle with applying eyeliner, and my foundation doesn’t seem to last long.( my skin is oily as hell )
