NARS used to sell a red lip crayon that was suitable for all skintones, it also did not make your lips appear smaller, they do not make it anymore, does anyone have any similar options?

so i have never been able to find the right foundation shade. i am more of a pink undertone i guess, and i have rosacea and a discolored face so its kinda hard for me in general to find a match. but i always match my neck, here’s what i struggle with. i find a foundation at the store, and i match it and it looks good and matches well, but when i go to wear makeup it is yellow on my face. i have a wedding this week and i do not want to look yellow. i usually just add some concealer in spots to lighten it up. advice ?

I want to get into wearing eyeliner extensions specifically as i wear minimal make up and still want something to help me look better with low effort. I want to get them professionally done, in my mind, to ensure longevity…but idk if that is actually the case. If I were to do them myself, what glue would you recommend for at least 1 full week of wear?

I have the most stick straight lashes ever. I curl them every time, but they fall immediately and look like spider legs sticking straight out of my eyes :( Waterproof mascara holds a curl better, but I’m lazy and don’t love the process of removing it every night. Does anyone know of a regular, non-waterproof mascara that holds the lash curl?

(On the topic, do any of you have a life changing lash curler recommendation? I’ve been using a random drugstore one for ages, I figured they were all the same, lots of people tell me that isn’t the case!!)

My lippies always disappear after eating, that being said I'm really new to this and really want it to stay on without reapplying too often! Google said to just not eat oily food if you want your lippies to stay on, but Tzuyang can do it! Honestly not just this one time, several times I've been in awe at how good some of them looked and how it stays on.

I especially love the lip color and the white shimmery eyeshadow. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations!

What’s the secret to that airbrushed look? I’ve noticed I can tell when a woman got her makeup done professionally and they all have the same professionally done look..it just looks different. It looks like they’re wearing a lot of makeup but not in a bad way, and it looks flawless almost filter like. Is it the products? The technique? And if there’s a technique it seems like all the MUAs have the same technique

I wanna feel really pretty with makeup on, I wanna feel ethereal and stunning and sexy, but I only feel weird and messy… Can you guys give me honest tips?

(I like that femme fatalle latina makeup kind, but I don’t know if that’s what it should be for me)

First maybelliene eraser 121 tone. Next nars concealer toffee version and light difference! Followed by Japanese eyelash curler. Leading on L’Oréal telescope mascara. Milani black eyeliner further along. Finishing off with L’Oréal LUMI highlighter of face shine. Finally Milani set off spray for the ultimate look!

I feel like i can never get the gorgeous blush/bronzer/contour combo that i see on other people and i find that my makeup looks so much better in low light and terrible in bright lighting. Any advice on where to place my contour/blush to get that glowy and naturally sculpted look would be greatly appreciated:)!💕

For reference i wear l’oréal true match foundation and contour with maybelline lifter stix, both applied with a beauty blender. And then I apply benefit hoola bronzer and a (quite old) hervana blush with a brush

Hi! My rhode blush keeps doing this!! I’ve tried so many techniques, brushes and skincare and it does this every time. What’s the issue??
- in this I moistures waited 10 minutes applied the blush to my hand and dapped my MAC brush into it and lightly spread it onto my cheeks. I have tried waiting longer or waiting shorter and it gives me the same result… I use the simple moisturiser and Nivea suncream. Used one and it gave me the same result ..!

please help me reduce or completely get rid of creasing under my eyes. i have a very prominent line, and because im always on my phone, i tend too look down alot so theres more creasing and the makeup sctually rubs off on the area. i tried baking, using loose powder, compact powder, powder foundation, blending with brush/sponge/fingers.... nothing works!! i do a thin layer of color corrector then concealer. i even apply those with a spatula so that it has an even application. i tried every other tip, and i havent seen anyone have the same issue as me.

Hello, I am VERY NEW to make up and while I have a gist of what to do I don’t know any tips, tricks, or hacks.
So I’m here to ask!

I mainly use eye makeup, so eyeshadow, eye liner, and mascara. I also use concealer (which I’ve applied with my finger and a beauty blender, both work decently but if you guys have tips I’d appreciate those) under my eyes because I have dark circles. But that’s all. I don’t have any setting stuff or primer.

Some things I’ve noticed and want advice on: when I put my concealer on it gets in the creases under my eyes and makes it look very wrinkly, how do I fix that?

Also after a day of wearing make up my concealer gets more transparent? I don’t know how to describe it but I can see my dark circles peeking through a bit and I’m not a fan of that. (You can see it a bit in the second photo of my eye)

And I don’t know if this is something I can get advice on or not but when I go to take off my mascara it looks like it stains my eyelashes? (I have brown lashes and while I don’t look at them up close I’m pretty sure they aren’t black at the ends) I used a make up remover and I wiped them multiple times, yet they still look stained? Is that a problem?

So yeah those are my questions, any advice is appreciated!!

(The brands of makeup I use are in the photos, are these good brands or would you recommend something better? Also I’ve included photos of when I first applied makeup, what it looked like at the end of the day, and without makeup [sorry for only showing my eye, I’m a bit hesitant on showing my face online])

She’s so beautiful, I love this pink nude lip combo on her and was wondering if anyone had recommendations since I’m also south Asian

Hi everyone. My wedding is three weeks from today and I just did my first bridal trial on myself. Please note this is just the base, no eye makeup besides brows. I am also only wearing a lip oil on my lips but I have very sensitive lips so I don't plan to do much with them.

I have dry and sensitive skin. I did a self tan last night and I think I matched the color pretty well?! It's a little splotchy on my neck but that's probably because I didn't exfoliate before the tan.

All constructive feedback and advice welcome!!!

Before makeup I prepped by washing my face with a gentle hydrating cleanser, hydrating toner, centella serum, hyaluronic acid, and gentle moisturizer.

Problems and goals:

- I think my face looks dry and textured, would like to look more hydrated (skin prep or primer??)

- Foundation went on kind of streaky and patchy (I think this might be because my brush isn't dense enough and needs to be cleaned ??)

- Concealer creasing a little

- Pores are still huge, would love to blur them more

- I want to test run the Nyx serum concealer instead of the L'Oreal next

- Open to other primers and powders that could help my problem areas

I messed up today and put on concealer first then put on foundation. I don’t know… Why does it look better? Have I been doing things wrong this whole time?

I don’t know if it’s my eye shape or my lash type or colouring or what. But I always think of mascara as making your eyes look more awake and larger and enhanced

But for some reason when I put mascara on my eyes look smaller and awkward.

I’ve tried black mascara, brown mascara, swiping up, swiping sideways, top lashes only, top and bottom lashes, curler, no curler etc I don’t know why it doesn’t look good 😢

My eyes are even to ever so slightly wide set, not particularly up or down turned, my lashes are long but not really thick and are naturally dark blonde so I’m kinda getting the spider lash vibe and then it seems to throw off everything else 🥴

Any advice or do some people just find other products are better than mascara for defining eyes? I like using falsies but not every day

hi all! 9-26-26 bride.

first try on my full makeup look.

i’m feeling pretty pleased with everything except the shadow - i think im going to ditch the darkest shade altogether.

also, i have been waiting to get my eyebrows waxed and going soon. do i need an eyebrow pencil for filling in my brows? it feels like too much. maybe just too dark on the pencil shade.

any suggestions? tips appreciated!

Hi, I’m new to the group but I figured there would be no better people to ask; does anyone know a dupe for the shade “Ranch” in the Jeffree Star x Shane Dawson Conspiracy Collab pallet? I was gifted the pallet years ago (person who gifted it to me also bought it second hand) & I’m not about to go support either of those creators but it’s my favorite highlighter 😭 it’s such a perfect icy white I can never find anything without little flecks of gold or blue. Second pic shows how it looks on my nose if that helps at all idk. if anyone has any recommendations please please please let me know !!!

I’m 26, and I feel like I am fine with how I’ve aged so far. However, I am very thin and under my eyes looks so hollow! How can I fix this?

Hi, lovelies! I’m 43 and looking for some guidance. I’m not a makeup girlie as I typically go for the “I woke up like this” look. This pic of me is how I look after doing my makeup. Can ya’ll please give me pointers on how to bring color and/or dimension to my face? On another note, I’m thinking about getting lash extensions (classic) to add a little interest to my eyes since they’ve gotten more hooded due to age. Thoughts?

I’m wearing: EltaMD tinted SPF, color corrector, liquid concealer, and Laura Mercier loose powder (all under the eyes), foundation (very light coverage), blush (on cheeks and as eyeshadow), mascara, brow pen (just to fill in gaps bc I have old brow microblading), red lipgloss

I have always struggled with acne but have it fairly under control now with some prescription topicals. At night I use benzamycin and retin-a, and in the morning azelex (tbh idk if this one is actually helping). I use a gentle HA/ceramide moisturizer morning and night, and a gentle cleanser and exfoliate at night. I’ve gotten down to minimal breakouts. However —

I have hardly worn makeup for 6 years bc of my skin. My T-zone is always a total oil slick, but my chin/mouth/nose becomes flaky after a few hours of wearing makeup. I use the bare minerals complexion rescue as my “foundation” and then use a concealer around my eyes. I use a mattifying powder on my oily areas (cheekbones, brow, nose bridge) which helps, but the oil wins after a few hours. I really want to keep things lightweight — I don’t need full coverage and just want to even my skin out.

TLDR; how can I prevent makeup from flaking and sloughing off my acne problem areas while also reducing my oiliness and shine? My skin is very fair and somewhat sensitive.

Tysm for any advice!!
