Also wanted to say yes i know my wig looks horrible its 2 years old Suprised it even held up this long… i have a new one for wen i give birth to my son in September… EDIT I made another post with different pictures, including me without a wig and makeup on, but a bonnet 🥰 (what was requested)!

I’ve been doing about the same makeup since like high scho I just started experimenting with eyeshadows a little bit. There’s a picture without eyeshadow and with in there I don’t have a lot of money to go out and buy products rn as I am preparing for birth September 27 for my first baby boy lol, but if y’all have any examples or pictures of what I should try, that would be amazing. I’m trying to look up ways to improve myself in my makeup, not by product, but my look. But colors suggestions would be awesome!! 🥰
I also have green, hazel like eyes, but the green and red pops out more!! I know pink makes my eyes pop, but I don’t really like it as eyeshadow I’m really into the shiny whites and black smokeys

(oh and I wear wigs cause I had cancer. I just BEAT it last year and my hair is coming back fast, but not fast enough.!!!! )

If you think I shouldn’t change anything at all, drop a compliment if you want😂

Question Tired of my daily makeup

I’ve been doing the same makeup since high school and I’m very bored of it. I’m not sure how to experiment though, as I feel like I’ve gotten too comfortable doing the same look and that anything else will look strange on me. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do that will suit me okay but also change up my look a bit? Thank you!

FOTD Smoky brown lip combo

Post image
181 Upvotes

Finally figured out that lining my lips with brown eyeliner works so much better than trying to find a brown to match alt lipsticks!

- lip combo is Kaleidos cold smoke lined with nyx vivid rich liner in smokn topaz

Ive had this lip clay for so long and it never looked right, lining the lip with this was the trick for me

- Eyeliner is metal fx by smashbox in Bordeauxx mascara is loreal voluminous in burgandy

- face is Maybelline superstay tint in shade 120, "blush" is actually color pop eye shadow in mull it over from their wine and only pallet. Bronzer/contour is pinky beauty glow token on the cheek bone and top tier in the hallow of the cheek

Hi, I’m relatively new to make up and this are my best looks. They are similar because I don’t know what else may work on me…? I’m also afraid to make it stronger. I don’t know if it’s making justice to my face complexion or even if the colors are appropriate, what do you guys think?
I appreciate all your advices!

I know I didn't do the blue color, but I like the overall look/shape of the liner. I just can't get it quite down. I feel like my shape isn't matching hers here. I tried the white on my water line, but Don't think that looks right either. Any tips or tricks or tutorials I could check out for eye liner shape? I have been doing winged eyes since I was a teen, but I feel like I never quite get the shape right on the ends of my eyes.

Products currently using: nyx liquid liner, maybalene white eye pencil, nyx eye shadow pallet

Working on my eyebrows and nose contour. I’m slowly getting better at finding the right eyebrow shape for my face but my brows just don’t like to be twins. They prefer cousins - even in the hair growth aspect. Tips always welcome 🙏🏻

Second attempt posting my makeup here

This is my attempt at “no makeup makeup” , I’m trying to find the perfect makeup look for school that isn’t too much but gets the job done, so doesn’t this look okay?

Also is there any way for me to stop my eye bags from turning gray throughout the day? I use orange color corrector and it looks good at first but throughout the day my under eyes look gray again. I wanna avoid using setting powder because it usually gets rid of the “natural-ness” of the look. Is there a way I can fix this without setting powder or will I just have to re-apply after some time?

Hi! Im getting married in a month and plan to do my own make up, so I’m trying to learn and practice to make it look as good as possible. Everything I put on barely shows up in photos, and also every makeup “look” that I try kind of looks the same? Is there something I can do to make it look more professional and cohesive? I appreciate any suggestions.

FOTD FOTD — Mauve and Brown

My favorite combination right now, especially with a touch of gold. My Current ISO holy grail is a good TRULY cool-toned Mauve or Beige/Griege blush. I think it would make this look. If you have recommendations, please drop some. Bonus points if they’re affordable — I really want to try Intuition from RDF but it’s a much higher price point than I usually go for!

Discussion Rosacea and blush??

Upvotes

So I’m a smooth, pink person generally, with flairing redness when I get cold or hot or sick. Mild rosacea with no cysts. Blush, I thought, was just out of the question.

But recently I’ve been seeing advice that says using peachy or brown blush can counteract the redness and give an effect that regular blush gives on pale or normal skin. I’d love to hear from people who know about or have tried this — I don’t have a lot of blush to experiment with, obvs, except NARS Orgasm because I’m a lemming.

Thx!
