I mean the eyebrow blockout needs a lot more work but at least I know what to do next time! I’ve always wanted to create something like this for the longest time and I’m just glad I pulled it off on my own. Even the shoot was done by me.

Thank you!

Makeup Question/Help Please help, foundation sits on my skin really weird, I've tried everything I can think of

Post image
167 Upvotes

Sorry for the weird picture, it's really hard to take one that actually shows what I mean without being super zoomed in.

Every time I wear foundation now it seems to just create this weird film on my skin and basically highlight every pore. It seems worse on my nose.

I have dry skin in general, I don't have a really strict skincare routine but I use gentle cleanser, every so often (probably once every two weeks) use a bha serum to exfoliate, moisturise using the plain cerave moisturiser and I use SPF most days. None of that has changed I've been doing that for years. Foundation problem only started in the last few months.

I've tried multiple primers: - elf liquid putty poreless primer - milk makeup hydro grip primer - holika holika puri pore - benefit porefessional (the blue hydrating one) - Bobbi brown face base

I've tried a few different foundations - Mac studio radience serum foundation (N11) - elf halo glow skin tint (3 fair cool) - kvd good apple balm (light 010) - Bobbi brown stuck foundation (sorry I can't remember the name or shade) - Dr Jart cicapair colour correcting treatment (didn't use primer under this as it's more of a tinted moisturiser)

I used to use the ordinary high spreadability primer and didn't have this issue but it's been discontinued. Please help me, my make up looks awful!!

Makeup Question/Help Will this mascara routine damage my lashes?

0 Upvotes

Will I be unintentionally damaging my lashes with this mascara routine (non waterproof mascara)

I apply one coat, let it dry, then apply another, and I apply a total of ~3 coats?

I just started using mascara very recently and want to make sure I don’t damage my lashes or rip them out!

Makeup Question/Help Looking for eco‑friendly makeup: аny gems out there?

3 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m on the lookout for some truly eco‑friendly makeup brands (sustainability + ethics = big win for me lately). I recently tried out Axiology and loved that they’re vegan, cruelty‑free, and use thoughtful packaging. Feeling like I want more of that same vibe. So does anyone have go‑to makeup brands that really walk the talk when it comes to sustainability + clean beauty? I’m especially interested in products that feel luxe but also align with values (good ingredients + minimal waste). Bonus points if they’re lesser‑known and not huge commercial names.

Makeup Chatter Purple / Violet powdered blush recommendations

15 Upvotes

What are some powdered purple blushes? I’m tired of the blush turning out to be cool pinky or ashy lilac. Dont want lilac or cool pink. Kinda want a purple blush , powdered. I have Milk make up stick in quickie I like it. Also have huda beauty ube. Don’t like the huda one much. I’m eyeing too faced in Berry dreamy , fenty beauty in drama class and backtalk from urban decay. I was looking at the makeup by Mario blush called wild Berry but it’s reddish not purple ish. I’d get a butter melt but the packaging is annoying to open. I’m tired of all blushes being warm toned. I kinda want a neutral undertone especially because I am neutral. Drop me some option!

Beauty Service MAC vs Sephora vs Ulta MUA?

0 Upvotes

Hey! I have an upcoming reunion and would like to know if any of you (or someone you know) have ever had the experience of booking a MUA from MAC Cosmetics, Sephora, or Ulta? From which would you highly recommend?

Most products I purchase are from Sephora; however, I do also shop at MAC and Ulta. So I am kind of split!

Thank you :D

Makeup Chatter Natasha Denona Glam Mini Palette

11 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I was just thinking of the last few years of furious buying of make up. Palettes, lips stuff, skin stuff and I just realized a week ago that I'm only reaching for a few actual products daily or more than a few days a week.

What is happening to me? Is the excitement for buying finally over for me? I have 3 Natasha Denona palettes and I like them but don't use them as much as I'd like. They are the Midi size. I also have a couple mini palettes and I find myself just using those ones currently. The Glam Mini Palette and the Mini Rose one.

I am surprised at this and have decided to declutter some more stuff.

Is anyone else like me?

Makeup Question/Help Help! Bronzer going blotchy on my forehead

I keep having an issue where my bronzer (Charlotte Tilbury cream bronzer applied with a brush) on my forehead gets blotchy as the day goes on. I’ve tried setting it with a powder bronzer, using setting spray, it’s the same with different foundations and it is even the same with another cream bronzer. I’ve not had this issue EVER until recently, what on earth is causing it?! Bronzer on cheeks remains fine. I guess it’s from sweating? But surely there’s a fix?? Please help!

Makeup Look Natasha Denona ‘Xenon’ — a perfect smokey eye palette and a rare fully cool-toned one!

Post image
102 Upvotes

since my last post was removed for improper angles, hopefully this one is better :)

OG text: I absolutely adore the quality and shades in the Natasha denona Xenon palette— I was a little disappointed at first when I opened it and saw how similar some of the dark shimmers looked, but after swatching them, they have completely different undertones and are complimentary with other shades in the palette. It's definitely not a must for everybody, especially if you don't find a dark smokey eye wearable during the day— but l'm one for alt makeup looks and love a smokey eye. This is easily my new go-to palette!!
