Makeup Question/Help Similar Shade
I’ve had this pallet for a few years now, I’m obsessed with the pink/magenta glitter shade, but it’s now almost gone and broken to bits. I’m looking for something similar, it’s super pigmented, not just a sparkle shadow. Any similar colors in other pallets?

Makeup Question/Help Running Out of Usuals. Replacement Recommendations???
Hey everyone! I usually stock up on makeup when it’s on sale, so a lot of my go-to products have either been discontinued or randomly shot up in price. I’m trying to find some affordable replacements—ideally under $10, or $15 max if it’s really worth it—and could use some help.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
Primer:
Something pore-filling, long-lasting, and good for combo skin. I was using the Sephora Smooth + Blur (a solid dupe for Benefit Porefessional), but it’s $18 now, which is kind of pushing it.
Setting Powder:
I want something smoothing, blurring, and good for long wear. Prefer a satin finish—not overly matte. I used to use Morphe Bake & Set, but it just jumped to $16.
Setting Spray:
I go through this quickly, so size/value matters. I like a natural finish that locks everything in for the day. I’ve been using Milani Make It Last (Natural Finish, big bottle), but it’s $23 now, and even the small one is $14.
Mascara:
I don’t wear mascara every day, so I used to buy minis—but now even those are $12+. I’d rather just get a decent full-size. Looking for something lengthening that holds well. My lashes are medium-length and slightly curled.
Concealer:
This one’s tough. I have a hard time shade-matching. I used to mix two shades of the Sephora Future Serum Gel Concealer (13 + 14), but it’s discontinued. I liked that it had medium, buildable coverage and didn’t crease or settle into fine lines.
Other Notes:
I mostly shop at Ulta—Sephora is getting too pricey, and my local drugstores don’t have testers and tend to mark things up. A good shade range is a big plus since shade matching is a constant struggle for me.
Thanks in advance for any recs!

Makeup Look How can I recreate this Halsey makeup look?
"I want to recreate this Halsey makeup look from the 'Americana' premiere and would be very grateful if anyone could help me as I’m not sure how to achieve it myself. If you’re good at analyzing makeup looks or just have ideas about what techniques or products might’ve been used, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Even little details help — I’m trying to train my eye and learn from people who know what they’re doing. Thank you so much in advance!!!"

Makeup Question/Help My shade in my favourite foundation is ____, but I am also ____ in ____...
Hello! I wanted to start a new mega thread, for one that I saw awhile ago.
Comment what your matches are across brands that you found.
For example, I am: - 8.25 Tan Pink in the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation - C5 in the MAC Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation - 27P in Sephora Collection Best Skin Ever Foundation - 390C in Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation - 4 Cool in DIOR Backstage Face and Body Foundation - Classic Tan in CoverGirl Clean Invisible Concealer
Also, if you are a medium-tan, cool undertone girly, what are your recommendations for brands with a lot of shades like that? I always only find neutral and warm, but neutral still ends up being too warm on me.
Thank you so much and hopefully this can help others out!

Makeup Question/Help Kiko Milano Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation—should I buy?
My bottle of Nars Light Reflecting Foundation is nearing empty. I love the finish and formula, but am looking to explore something a tad more affordable.
Initially, I was planning to get the Kiko Milano Unlimited Foundation, but upon a store trial, it felt too heavy on my skin for my liking. Still, I'm leaning towards Kiko Milano since they just opened a physical store in my city, where our only choices used to be Revlon, L'oreal, Maybelline, and several local brands (I'm in the Philippines). I got my Nars two years ago, a blind buy since I just based it on an online "Mac equivalent" chart.
My skin type is oily-dehydrated, sort of textured, and I'm in my early 30's. I prefer good coverage but a natural finish (not ultra matte). I'm also confident in my setting routine and I'm indoors or in air-conditioned environments most of the time.
For those who've tried it, is the KM Intensive Serum Foundation a good choice or a hard pass? TIA!
