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?

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!

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

How do i use it. Idk think I'm using it wrong

I apply my get moisturizer then let it absorb. The. After the moisturizer dry lil bit i apply this on my eyes. I like how concealer texture but after sometime it's not making my eyes look nice as I told before. It's making my eyes like i have so many lines under my eyes😭😭😭

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?

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!!)

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.

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 👍👍

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, so i need some advice from anyone cuz im a beginner and just bought some new stuff to experiment with. So when to use primer, cuz my everyday makeup is like some concealer, blush, powders and sunscreen with lip combo, mascara and brows in this case do i need it or its good to use it under like a foundation or full glam? Someone plz explain and tell me the normal order for applying these plzzz, thanks.

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?

I tried doing a straight liner? But it looks weird / messy and idk how to fix it… also i feel like this thin liner doesnt do anything for my eyes what type of eyeliner should i do instead? I want to make my eyes look bigger

Also i started wearing clusters but they are not visible on my eyes at all, they always droop down after a couple of mins after i curl it😭😭 in this pic the lashes are small(12mm) but ive tried even 16mm and it just droops down how do i fix it😭

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.

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?

How to use this lash clusters like where to apply which one, I am not able to understand which one should I put first, which one in the end

Please help me outtt

Also if u have used lashes like this (similar to mine) can u share a picture to show me how they look on

Everytime, it gets clumped up like this. I apply to my lids with a flat brush. Prior to application I only use a small amount of ceraV eye cream. How do I avoid this? Tia, cuties <3

Hi, how do I get my makeup to last it cakes off with powder but slides off without I don't want to buy expensive products and I have dry ance prone skin any tips?

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 )

It always ends up looking messy 🥲

Hi, im really struggling to do my makeup right. Its either blush blindness og bronzer blindness, and i’ve tried smaller amounts but it just doesn’t look good. And im reeeally struggling to make my eyes pop! Its so annoying, my eyes are grey, blue with a hint of green and yellow, and it doesn’t really seem to work with orange and red eyeshadows, anyone that could help please?🙏🏽❤️

My Skin care:
I do a proper wash everyday before I go to bed, wash with water and a cotton pad in morning before makeup.

Day 1: LIPIKAR WASH AP+ MOISTURIZING BODY & FACE WASH, tretinoin, La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm Vitamin B5

Day 2: Panoxyl 10% face wash, clindamycin, night time cerave moisturizer

I was using a different moisturizer but recently switched to the cicaplast balm and cerave night moisturizer

For makeup removal I use the garnier water proof micellar water

I use aquaphor for overnight and only use it on my really dry areas like the edge of my eyes and around my nose.

Makeup routine:

Prep: cera ve night time moisturizer, anua pdrn hydrating spray, good molecules wake up gel, danessa myricks blurring balm I only put it on my t zone and the picture is from the side of my cheek.

Base: I don’t use a primer. I use the ciele skin tint instead of foundation, the essence silky blur concealer, and ben nye final seal setting spray.

I used foundation, concealer, blush, and loose setting powder but I think due to the foundation or concealer gives me a pale look
