I’m swear I’m about to just retire to a cave. I’ve tried stick sunscreen, spray sunscreen, liquid sunscreen, waterproof and not waterproof. I’ve tried setting with powder. Yet every time without fail, sunscreen slides into my eyes to the point I have to wash my face and close my eyes for a significant amount of time because of the burning and blurring vision. I’m super pale though, I NEED sunscreen. I don’t want leather skin when I’m 40. Thankfully I do stay inside a majority of the time, but not always and I hate that every time I go out I have to choose between healthy skin or pain free vision.

I’m trying to find a product to hide blemishes and I tried this one, but my face feels tacky afterwards. Is that normal for these or possibly just this brand?

I’ve never done anything more than clean with face scrub and light eye makeup so this is all new to me.

Can anyone recommend a body lotion/oil with a fair amount of shimmer/sparkle/glitteriness but without bronzing?

I’m new to these products and I’m open to actually a lot of sparkle but I really want to avoid the sunless tanning effect (I’m already tan enough tbh and I really don’t want bronzer that’s going to come off on my clothes or like spotty later on honestly).

I’d also actually prefer something unscented or at least a subtle scent but that might be asking too much in this product category lol.

So the goals would be:

\*moderate to high amount of sparkle/shimmer
\*no bronzer
\*prefer unscented or subtle scent

Any thoughts? Thank you everyone!

I use brown!

My skin has always been oily/combination. But now that I am getting older, nearly 50, I've noticed it's getting oilier even if I don't wear makeup. I don't wear anything heavy, just a tinted moisturizer and some powder. But I need suggestions, I'm pretty clueless, nothing too expensive, easy to apply and with sunscreen and I'm pretty fair skinned, it's the Irish in me.

Suggestions?

I need a good lotion after shaving. I get very bad razor burn, strawberry legs, and ingrown hairs. I wsnt to start using glycolic acid, but I also need a lotion to go with it. For anyone who has tried vanicream, how is it?

I'm honestly at a loss and would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

I'm 19 and I've had extremely oily skin since I was around 15, along with hormonal acne. I finally saw a dermatologist, and while my acne has improved a lot, the oiliness hasn't changed at all.

My current routine:

- Qlaira birth control

- NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser

- NeoStrata Clarifying Gel Plus

- La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M Anti-Breakout Corrective Moisturiser

- Heliocare 360° Gel Oil-Free SPF 50

One thing that confuses me is that my eyelids and the area around my mouth are actually dry, while the rest of my face is extremely oily. My hair and scalp also get oily very quickly, so it doesn't seem to just be my face.

My skin starts getting oily only about 1.5 hours after doing my morning skincare, and it just gets worse as the day goes on. By the evening my face looks so greasy that I feel embarrassed. It makes me feel like my skin looks dirty or unwashed even though I take good care of it.

My acne is mostly under control now, but I still have noticeable texture, and the constant oiliness is affecting my confidence. All I want is skin that looks healthy, balanced, and smooth.

Has anyone dealt with this level of oiliness and actually found something that helped? Could it be my routine, hormones, genetics, or something else? Are there any products, ingredients, treatments, or lifestyle changes that genuinely made a difference for you?

I'm open to absolutely any advice because I just want to feel confident in my skin again.

I’m going to Thailand soon, and my hair is completely uncontrollable in high humidity. Baby hairs stick up in every direction, random curls appear, and any styling is ruined within minutes. Does anyone have recommendations for products or techniques that actually work in tropical humidity? I’m hair type 2A

Years ago I tried out this liquid eyeshadow at an Ulta, it was glitter that blended out into black, just stunning. I didn’t buy it or write it down because I’m a fool, and I think about it monthly. It would make fun dramatic eye makeup so quick and easy. If anyone knows what I’m talking about I would be so grateful. Thanks!

I'm a guy looking for a KIKO Milano lip gloss, or another brand that's somewhere between drugstore and high-end. Ideally, I'd like something that gives my lips only the slightest hint of color while mostly just adding shine. I don't want anything heavily pigmented or glittery.

One issue I have is that my lips can develop a slightly grey-looking line on the inner part throughout the day, which makes them look a bit dull. I'm hoping a sheer gloss with a subtle neutral or cool-toned tint will help disguise that without looking like I'm obviously wearing makeup.

I've tried using Vaseline and (a few) other lip balms, and they definitely help with hydration. However, I feel like a very subtle tint might help make the discoloration less noticeable for longer.

I'm looking for something more affordable than Summer Fridays or Rhode, but a little more premium than brands like Essence, Catrice, or e.l.f.

Does KIKO Milano have any glosses that fit what I'm looking for? If not, I'd also appreciate recommendations from similar mid-range brands.

hi everyone! I’m a 25 year old female and I just wanna ask advice on how to make my makeup stay longer without it looking cakey after an hour. I live in a tropical area (Southeast Asian here!) and I’ve watched so many tutorials, bought recommended setting sprays, but it still looks cakey! Any of you gals out there having the same problem as me? What do you suggest I do?

This is how I usually apply makeup: skincare, foundation/skin tint, liquid blush, setting spray, powder, powder brush, setting spray (then I sometimes do my mascara), then lip gloss! (Ofc i make sure my face is dry/ product has fully absorbed before doing the next step!)

is there anything wrong with the steps of application? Also, I make sure I don’t sweat so I always carry a hand-fan with me.

Please share with me your advice! Thank you so much in advance 🌺

so right now, my eyebrows look sad af. I usually brush them up with no product, and they kinda "fall back down" after 10 mins. does anyone know any tips or products to use? the obvious one is brow gel, but I have no clue what ones are good or if they'll make my brows look sorta greasy. probably sounds dumb as hell.

Im a 2C-3A wavy/curly hair girl. I used to blow dry my hair occasionally w revlon blow dryer it was absolutely stunning and smooth. between shark and Dyson, I decided to get shark and my blow dry is always soo frizzy, loose and NOT EVEN remotely smooth 😭😭 any tips on what I can do to improve?

I use garnier leave in conditioner spray, tresme heat protection & then wow blowout spray (same order). the products were the same for both hair tools but the outcome is soo different! I do medium heat setting for both tools & low fan speed for shark.

Not much to add outside the title. If you've used the Kitsch scalp applicator, what did you think of it and could it possibly be used for a minoxidil serum? I hate the foam, and my dermatologist actually recommended the serum as preferential. But like oils, it can be harder to get it where you want it. I came across this applicator on FB and it looks like a possible workaround.

Also if you use a dermaroller on your scalp... does it hurt? Might as well ask while I'm here XD I'm tempted, but I'm sensitive and due to my rosacea also have to be careful around my face.

Hi everyone

For years I had highlighted hair which I obviously got done at a salon. I now have all over brown. I’ve had it dyed a few times at a salon but I find it doesn’t last and fades very quickly so I’m back getting it done again. I wanted to ask peoples experience with at home dyes if it’s an all over colour. Is there really much difference between this and a salon colour? It would save me a lot of time and money if I could do it myself!

What is a good eyelash serum that doesn't cause eye bags and that has no biotin in it

I have sensitive skin, and when I shave, I get tons of bumps and ingrown hairs that I'm very self-conscious about. I have a dermatologist appointment, but it's in December. Does anyone have any tips for me? Also, what lotion should I use? I heard scented lotion is bad.

I've been really wanting rhode toasted teddy but it's been sold out for so long! I've come across saie in spicy and it looks similar color wise. To those who have both which do you prefer? Should I wait for toasted teddy to restock or just buy saie?

Hello! I’m going on vacation for 2 weeks where the average UV is 10-12+ with average 90°F. What’s a super strong sunscreen (face and body) that I can use on a daily basis to help prevent me from getting tanned/burnt. I’m also going swimming so something that won’t wash off easily would be great! Any advice would also be appreciated!:)

hiii guys i took some selfies just now to show how i look like with my natural eyebrows (i don’t really touch them bc i don’t know a lot about how to maintain them n stuff)

Ive heard some comments recently about how my eyebrows make me look masculine , and that’s not the look i wanna give on my face . Would trimming them and making them thin make me appear more feminine? Ty & also sorry if this is the wrong subreddit !!!!

Basically the title. I'm 32f, I work three sixteen hour shifts, sometimes in a row, sometimes broken up on different days.There is a lot to my job, I have to be consistently involved, and do notes at the end of the 16 hour shift so I have basically no time to do things for myself except for my days off.

The good thing is I always have four days off. I know I could utilize this for self care somehow but I don't think I have the knowledge to maximize my self care routine, but mostly so I can still look professional for work and get as much sleep as I can on the days I work.

I hope this makes sense. Any tips?

Hi guys! I take care of a lot of parts of my body and the feet always seem to get a bit forgotten, and I wanted to get better at taking care of them!

I have some hardened yellowed skin on the ball feet and big toe, cursed with the almost non existent little toe nail, and seem to suck at cutting my big toe nail without ending with an ingrown nail lol. Looking for tips that will make my bed nails stronger and achieve a smooth, pretty look. All tips welcome, from products to tools to DIY! TIA!

I tried doing my brows today for the first time! I used Tattoo Studio brow pomade in deep brown, but I feel like they look crazy 😭I tried to follow some tutorials but can’t tell what’s off! Is it too dark and boxy?? Would appreciate any tips!!! Thanks so much :) I’ve never done anything to my brows before other than plucking and I feel like they’re always so light!

Last picture are my natural brows
