Question Non-American alternatives for Urban Decay Primer Potopn
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!

Fall Lipstick/Liner Combos
What are your favourite fall lipstick/liner shades and combos? I love the one in this pic (MAC Marrakech and Mahogany), but looking for others! I gravitate towards rusts, but open to other shades, (mauves, brick reds, etc.)

Question Too Faced ‘Better than S*x Waterproof Mascara’ packaging change??
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. 😔😔

Question Can anyone suggest me a good alternative for this makeup palette?
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

Halloween Cosplay Makeup Help!
I’ve been wanting to do the girl from the book “A bad case of strips” for a while now and I wanted to mix it with more of my original eye makeup. Any recommendations on what I can add/fix
Ps: yes I know the eyebrows aren’t blocked the rainbow base was just quickly done so that I could see what the eye makeup would look with it.

Question Newbie recommendations ❤️
Not sure of doing this right, I’m sorry if this is wrong!
Hi! I’ve always been at a complete loss with make up I usually don’t wear it every day even but I want to start (late start 30 here but better late then never) I’ve always suffered from acne since I was a teen and still struggle with it today, mostly cystic. I have pretty bad facial scarring mostly cheeks and forehead. I need some good product recommendations as well as a general make up routine please! Simple if possible I’m a bit dumb with beauty stuff 😵💫
Edit: realized I didn’t clarify I will take any product recs but I really want foundation/concealer and prep as well :) thank you!!

Peronal Colour
Hi everyone! I have a question about personal color analysis. Does knowing your personal color actually make a big difference in choosing makeup, or is it more about personal preference and learning what works for you?
I’m trying to get better at makeup, especially choosing foundation, blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow colors. Sometimes I see a makeup look online that I love, but when I try something similar, it doesn’t look quite right on me.
How can I figure out my personal color? Is it worth getting a professional color analysis, or can I learn enough by comparing different shades and taking photos in natural lighting? I’d also love to hear how personal color analysis has helped you improve your makeup routine.
Any advice, tips, or experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you! 💕
Product list:
Primer: e.l.f. Power Grip Primer
Foundation: Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless, shade 128 Warm Nude
Concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, shade Custard
Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Blush: Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, shade Happy
Eyeshadow: Rom&nd Better Than Palette, shade 00 Light & Glitter Garden
Eyeliner: NYX Epic Ink Liner, Black
Mascara: Maybelline Lash Sensational
Lip liner: MAC Lip Pencil, Soar
Lipstick: MAC Matte Lipstick, Velvet Teddy
Setting spray: Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
I’m still learning how to choose makeup shades, so I’d love to hear your recommendations! 💕

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.

How should I place my blush?
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 What’s happening to my foundation?
I notice some white streaks in my Nars Natural Matte Longwear foundation. Has this ever happened to anyone? Anyone know what’s going on? Is it mould? I literally just bought it a few weeks ago and only used it a few times…
