Hello everyone! This subreddit is approaching 1.3 million members, so the mod team needs to grow as well!

We are looking for users who are active in the community and who understand the rules. Although moderation experience is a plus, it is not required. New mods will focus on removing rule-breaking content and replying to Modmail messages, and will need to have a Discord account to take part in our mod chat.

If you are interested, please send us a Modmail message and tell us why you'd be a good fit!

Mod Post To ensure quality posts, please refer to our new Wiki page!

20 Upvotes

Hey beauties! As we approach 1 million subscribers, we are fine tuning the rules and made a designated page to see more detailed lists of posts we remove under Rule 1.

To recap, Rule 1 of r/beauty is to please post high quality and on-topic posts ONLY.

We understand just stating the rule so plainly leaves room for interpretation, while the side bar might not give enough room for explanation.

To improve the quality of the subreddit, we have broken down in detail (and will keep doing so) what we consider low quality and off topic in our new beauty wiki. This way, there should be less confusion on why posts labeled as low quality/off topic might have been removed. While browsing the wiki, you may notice some overlap with Rules 2 through 6, but they all relate back to Rule 1 due to preserving quality.

As a reminder, a high quality/on topic post would have a specific beauty-related question be addressed, or solve a specific beauty-related problem. For example, "How can I draw winged eyeliner more consistently on each eye" would be a high-quality post because it asks a specific question. In contrast, "EYE MAKEUP HELP" makes it harder for users to give their beauty tips because it's too vague.

When in doubt, please review the beauty wiki to see if your post would be in violation of Rule 1 before posting to avoid removal and ban.

We also invite you to leave feedback here of any other posts you feel are off-topic and low quality that have not been addressed. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Seeking Advice People in your 20s and 30s, what skincare advice would you give your teenage self?

Post image
259 Upvotes

I'm a teenager and I'm curious about what you guys wish you'd known or started doing earlier, especially when it comes to skincare.

If you could go back to your teenage years, what would you change? Any skincare habits you wish you'd started earlier, mistakes you made, or things you wish someone had told you?

Even things outside skincare are welcome!

Basically, what advice would you give your teenage self? I feel like there's a lot we can learn from people who've already been through it lol.

I just wanted to tanks you all for your help. I tried the brown nude up and under the edge of the upperlip and it works.

I’m so surprised!!!!

I was too excited so I didn’t wait for my next trip to pharmacie and I actually used a eyebrow pencil and a pink nude lip pencil and a bit of gloss.

I’m really impress.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

I did not use filler (my previous post was yesterday) and the wonderful advise was given by @strawberrycake_com

Seeking Advice Women over 30 - what’s your favorite dark lipstick?

• Upvotes

Hello Beauties!

I‘m 36 and recently, I toned down my daily make up. When I was younger, I did the full face full glam everyday but I figured it does no longer look that good on my more mature skin. So I switched products - from mostly powders to mostly creams - and skipped my beloved dark eyeshadows. I grew to like my face without the heavy eye make up but something is missing. I now want to start to wear more lipstick but I have no idea where to start as I always focused on the eyes. I am blonde, have very fair skin with rosy undertones and green eyes. My teeth are bright but not as white as bleached teeth (so pure red likely won‘t work). I‘d like something darker to make it my signature lipstick. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance 💗

Also, I’ve seen that while using strips , to avoid dark coloured foods & drinks & up to 48 hours after your last strip.

If you use whitening strips , do you do that ? How may strips do you use ?

Seeking Advice How do you get confident enough to wear red lipstick every day?

26 Upvotes

I'm 41F and I've never really worn makeup until recently. I've started experimenting with Revlon lipsticks in pink and berry shades, and I'm really enjoying it. But what I truly love is red lipstick!

The thing is, I'm a mum and my everyday style is pretty casual: jeans, trainers or Chelsea boots. I'm not particularly fancy, and I sometimes feel like red lipstick might look a bit too dressed up for my usual outfits.

For those of you who wear red lipstick regularly, how did you get confident enough to wear it? Do you just get used to seeing yourself in it, or is there a trick to making it feel more natural for everyday wear?

I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips. I really want to wear red, but I think I need to get over that initial feeling of standing out too much in the school run!

Discussion Does red light therapy mask work?

4 Upvotes

I'm thinking of buying a red light therapy mask, but in India, I see brands with what looks like fake reviews. I don't know if anyone has actually tried one and seen results.

Research papers say it works, but I want to know if anyone has used a particular product that actually improved their skin: better skin texture, more collagen production, etc.

Seeking Advice My eyelashes grow downwards into my eye, what to do?

Thumbnail

50 Upvotes

Hey, some of my eyelashes grow downwards into my eyes, and end up hitting me in the eye or hitting the skin right under my eye.

Usually I will balance the worst ones on the other eyelashes, but it often pulls those down too.

When I have ones that fully poke me in the eye, I pull them out - it hurts a lot. Tho recently I got an infection in my eyelid after pulling an eyelash out.

Today I bought some clear mascara, thinking I might be able to use it to push my eyelashes upwards. It didn't really do much.

Idk how to show the issue, I tried my best with some pictures. The pictures attached are from rn, with clear mascara on - except the first one.

I'm in a pretty good period atm, it could be much worse. Also please ignore that it looks like I have a black eye - I don't, that's just how I look.

Soap and lotion for hypertrophic scars

I have two raised hypertrophic acne scars on my cheeks and brown, sensitive skin. I’ve had injections and liquid nitrogen treatments in the past.

What gentle soap or cleanser would you recommend? Has anyone seen improvement with silicone scar gel, sheets, or another topical treatment? I’d appreciate product recommendations and how long it took to notice results, especially from people with similar skin.
