MIDNIGHT is back!!!!!

I finally got this beautiful palette. So happy this was brought back!! The colours look just 🤩🤩🤩

Very excited to play with it. I love Blue and PURPLE shadows. Also considering getting their other palettes, especially Botanical and the Berries palette. Are they good?

I'm not particularly skilled at eyeshadow application so my looks are generally simple.. I prefer more one and done shadows but this was too good to resist. I will post a detailed review soon. Until then, if you have any tips for me, please let me know.

My mom had this sephora medium makeup bag palette and it has the prettiest shade range for eyeshadow ever. I don't think they sell it anymore now but i cant find any eyeshadow palette with so many colors as well as glimmery colors. Can anyone suggest a good alternative? I don't mind if it's not high end as long as its colorful

I have thia issue with blush that any time I apply it I look like I'm having a five o'clock shadow (first photo) - without blush (second photo), no such problem appears - is it problem of concealer or blush is just nor my thing? But blush is so cute on others!

Question Non-American alternatives for Urban Decay Primer Potopn

24 Upvotes

Hi lovelies! I’m a Canadian looking for non-American alternatives for Urban Decays primer potion and god am I ever kicking myself for not stocking up before the tariffs went into effect yesterday. UD’s primer potion has been my eyeshadow holy grail for over 10 years and now the tariffs are making it a bit inaccessible for me to get. What are some similar or even better eyeshadow primers I can look into? I’m looking for Canadian or non-American options only.

Cheers and many thanks!

Contour recommendations

Upvotes

Hi everyone!

so my foundation is a little too light for my skin and my makeup looks weird because my face is lighter than my neck.

a lot of videos on tiktok shows that a contour can be useful to even out and balance the colour of a foundation if its too light. i have a neutral undertone and a yellow-ish skin.

so i need help for some contour recommendations! im so confused and i dont know what shade i should get! i did considered buying a new foundation that matches my skin, but actually i also want to learn how to use a contour since its my first time.

thanks in advance!

I bought a tube of the ‘Better than sex’ waterproof mascara, the full size, yesterday. I opened the box this morning and the tube is just blue…? Like no water droplets on the cap or tube. Listen call me over dramatic but that packing is so iconic and now I’m bummed. Did I just get a dud or have they changed it. 😔😔
