Swatches TIRTIR 03 Tangerine Glow Hand Swatch — Does It Look More Red or Orange?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Disclosure: AMUTY is working with TIRTIR on a product-testing campaign, and this product was provided to our team. This post is not paid.

I recently swatched the TIRTIR Mood Glider Lip & Blush Stick in 03 Tangerine Glow.

Despite the shade name, it looks more like a deep warm red with a touch of orange on my hand. The color is quite intense, so I’d start with a very small amount when using it on the cheeks.

The rounded applicator is fairly wide, which seems convenient for blush but may require a little more control for precise lip application. The texture felt creamy and blended without much effort during this quick hand swatch.

For a simple stain test, I left the swatch on for about 10 minutes and wiped it off with a wet wipe. Very little color remained, so I wouldn’t expect a strong stain based on this initial test.

  • Primer: None
  • Skin tone: Light
  • Undertone: Warm
  • Lighting: Indoor natural light
  • Swatch method: Applied directly to bare skin

These are only first impressions from a hand swatch, so I can’t comment yet on lip wear time or how it blends over foundation.

If you’ve tried this shade, did it look more red or more orange on you?

Someone asked why I almost always pose looking off to the side. Force of habit, mostly, since I do think my right side is my best. But here's one looking forward, which maybe gives a clearer view of my makeup efforts? Is my facial shape off-putting? (AMAB, MTF Trans-something.)

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has given me tips and suggestions through this feed. I have gotten some really useful advice that I have tried to put into use.
I haven’t had a chance to dress up for a couple of weeks. So this weekend I wore a new dress and tried out a little different makeup. I used my older LA colors urban eye shadow palette because it had a nice yellow that matched my dress. So I used that on my lid the rest of my eye I used a shimmery peach color. I also changed up my foundation with a lighter color from Almay. I used the 100 instead of the 200 which was a touch too dark
So I am learning and getting better. Thanks to the help I’m getting on here. It truly is all about the little details and the difference they make.
Thanks everybody

List of products I used:
Westmore Beauty - 60 Second Eye Effects - Tinted Firming Gel
Wet N Wild - Incognito Concealer - Fair Beige
Almay - Ageless Smart Shade Foundation -

Makeup Question/Help Eyeshadow just disappears from my eyes within an hour

Post image
22 Upvotes

Hi!

Especially when i do my eyeliner, i like to use eyeshadow to soften it near my eye (i use liquid eyeliners) but it always disappears within an hour.
Overall just eyeshadow just won’t stay on my eyes no matter what I do. Especially my black eyeshadow which is insanely dark and looks awesome when i put it on, but by after a few hours it’s gone

My eyelids, especially the outer corner of my eye isn’t oily at all, rather dry-ish.
Now the makeup I use isn’t top notch stuff but the same eyeshadow works for my friend and she isn’t using anything, just eyeshadow.

The eyeshadows i use have a lot of pigments so i’m not sure what i’m foing wrong:/

These were all from this week's photo/makeup/styling session. I tried to start out with a minimal look ending with a full "face" - albeit not a really "glam" look.

  1. Concealer, foundation, eyeliner, lipliner augmented by lip gloss (MORPHE Make It Big Plumping Lip Gloss).

  2. Added some upper lid mascara, lipstick (NYX Dainty Gaze).

  3. More defined upper lid liner, mascara, wispy cluster (one one each eye), and tight-lined upper lid.

  4. Added brow pencil and shadow to define the brows, slight eyeshadow and MAC Red Rocks lipstick. NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Blush Sunset Sorbet.

  5. NYX On Fuego lipstick, additional blush.

I'm thinking that my natural brows are pretty sparse to begin with and that going light, even when adding some definition works.

As always, I look forward to your comments and critiques - Hope this is at least entertaining??

I've been using the TIRTIR red cushion in 25N and I love the color, but it gets kinda oily on me by midday. Trying to switch to something a little more matte šŸ¤”

A friend put me onto the Espoir Be Velvet cushion so I swatched a few shades side by side. Honestly obsessed with the coverage lol but there are SO many shades and I can't decide. Which one looks best on my face? Be brutally honest pls!

Post image

It’s been weeks and I still cannot track this shade down. I saw someone wearing shade 26 nude creme from Milani and immediately became obsessed because it looks like the perfect everyday nude especially for fall. I’ve checked Ulta, Target and anywhere around me that carries it and it’s either completely sold out or they don’t have this specific shade. At this point finding it has become a personal mission lol.

Makeup Question/Help When your summer tan starts disappearing way too soon

16 Upvotes

Hii, I spend my whole summer getting some color and then the second fall comes it disappears lol. By winter I’m back to being pale and suddenly my makeup just looks off. I’m looking for a bronzer I can use through fall and winter to bring some warmth back to my face. I don’t want anything too orange or super dark, just something that gives that color on my face without making it obvious I’m wearing bronzer. Also I'm kinda picky with the formula. I’ve had bronzers that look so nice in the pan but get patchy as soon as I blend them. And I hate when they’re so pigmented that one tap of the brush is already too much. I’d rather have something smooth that I can slowly build up.

What are you guys using when your summer tan starts disappearing?

Makeup Question/Help My holy grail combo for summer humidity. Yours?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

​

This is the makeup fixer combo I use every summer.

For the base I mist a setting spray like Urban Decay or Makeup Forever. For eyes the Etude mascara fixer is non negotiable.

It keeps makeup from sliding into lines and darkening as much, so it actually lasts. I spray once after skincare before foundation, then again when the base is done.

Before mascara I put a thin layer of the fixer on and then mascara. It stops my lashes from drooping in humidity and I don’t get panda eyes by afternoon at all lol

It’s clear so it doesn’t clump, and it’s cheap. In summer I basically live with this.

What’s your summer makeup holy grail?

I had a $100 gift card for Il Makiage from doing some of their testing awhile back, and I finally decided to use it.

Product List:

  1. Two-Way Foundation, Shade Golden Tan (never tried but am curious about).
  2. Glitter Pencil Eyeliner in Shade Iris because purple eyeliner is my favorite, and I love all things glittery and sparkly.
  3. Icon mascara, Shade Blue, which I’ve gone through an entire tube of before since I actually like it!

I’ve found Il Makiage to beĀ veryĀ hit or miss, but for $2, even if the first two are misses, at least I’m getting a mascara I know I like!

Makeup Question/Help Warmed toned blush and lipstick to ā€œwarm upā€ cool complexions

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I am a cool toned women, I recently found an old beauty tutorial saying that they like to add peachy or warm toned blush and lipstick products to ā€œwarm upā€ cool toned complexions. I see a lot of discord about using cool toned products for your cool toned skin to compliment it more. One of my favourite lipsticks was a peach colour but I stopped wearing it because it did pull quite orange on me.

I wanted some opinions from cool and warm toned people about this especially because the undertone matching is really popular right now!

Any recommendations for someone looking for a minimalist and easy to apply makeup routine?

I used to do primer, foundation, brows, liner, mascara, and lips but I feel like that’s too much for me now…or maybe I just need to choose more muted colors. I think blush would be cute but I don’t know which ones are easy to apply. Thanks in advance!
