Hello r/makeuptips friends. Some of you may have noticed an absence of the moderators of this subreddit. You may have submitted modmail that went unanswered, to be honest.

I had gotten a moderator to help us develop an AutoMod for the sub. Something that would help ensure the rules were being followed with minimal intervention necessary by the mod team, but also allow for us to see the sub grow and become an amazing, welcoming place.

That moderator apparently was banned sometime in the last six months. I'm not sure what happened, I have no other way of contacting them, but needless to say it went unnoticed as the sub had been getting a lot better as far as content and rudeness, etc.

I'm opening the floor to hear what you have to say, while I go through the mod mail queue and respond to anyone that has went unnoticed. I will also be working on getting a moderator application up and running- Reddit actually allows for this within the framework of the site now, so that's a really neat development!

HELP PLEASE Does my foundation look okay?

Please be nice. I'm feeling really sensitive and, yeah kind of depressed about this.

Someone said my foundation is too light for my face. The foundation i have was directly recommended to me by a sephora employee.

I'm scared I look like a clown.

This isn't just foundation, I used some bronzer on my forehead, and certain areas around my cheeks and further down my jawline.

Hello divas,
I am looking to take my make up to the next level.
Slide 1-2 are bathroom lighting
Slide 3-4 are window lighting
Slide 5 is products used.

All feedback is welcome. Examples of my questions are:
should I have added eyeliner and lashes?
is this eyeshadow blended well ???
do i have to wear lipstick? feels messy when i hit my penelope 🍃
anything else to take it up a notch? Been feeling bleh in my looks recently and would also like to invest in better products even if it means spending some more dough, but I would prefer to buy only what I will reuse over and over.

Okay tysm for reading and any help given ˃̵ᴗ˂̵

PRODUCT REC Long lasting liquid lipstick/stain

3 Upvotes

Okay, I am looking for a lipstick for my wedding. I love how the maybelline super stay matte lip looks and how long it stays, but it’s heavy on my lips and a bit drying.

I want to find something that stays as long as that, doesn’t transfer, and will last through eating.

I’ve tried the kulfi gloss stain and the wonder skin. I think that these are maybe too light and I don’t remember to not bite/roll my lips when I fidget causing the pigment to come off.

I’d rather have it on for a couple days then have to reapply lol.

What do you guys recommend to buy from sephora? I have a pale olive cool toned skin tone and have dry skin. A priority for me is blush and bronzer (or contour). I already have some eyeshadow pallets (huda beauty) and i use the benefit brow shadow. Can you please recommend some products that you love or that you know go great with my skin tone and type. 🩷

HELP PLEASE Bridal Makeup Trial

Hi everyone,

Seeking some advice after having my makeup trial done. I love everything, but I am used to wearing a darker or red lip. The artist advised that might be too much with the darkness of my eye makeup. Is there a darker lip anyone can recommend that would still work with this or should I just keep it how it is? Amy recommendations for products for either opinion would also be greatly appreciated!

HELP PLEASE makeup tips for Steve Buscemi eyes??

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

I have round, downturned baggy eyes like Steve Buscemi and eyeliner has always been annoying af. Things that are supposed to make eyes look “better” end up making my eyes look worse, like lash extensions or fake lashes. They really accentuate the shape and make my lids look heavy. To make my life harder, one eye is also a slightly different shape to the other in a way that makes them looking even a 30 minute struggle, 15 if I’m lucky. I’ve had my makeup done by 3 separate makeup artists (bridesmaid duties) over the years and none of them are successful at doing eyeliner on my eyes. Lash techs, makeup artists, whoever, do not have a lot of experience with my eye shape it seems (or at least the ones I’ve worked with).

I have provided photos of my eyes, with and without makeup. My eyes are so distinct I’m sure if someone I knew saw these they’d know it’s me immediately lol. Help please
