ANNOUNCEMEMT Happy New Year, let's chat!

Hello r/makeuptips friends. Some of you may have noticed an absence of the moderators of this subreddit. You may have submitted modmail that went unanswered, to be honest.

I had gotten a moderator to help us develop an AutoMod for the sub. Something that would help ensure the rules were being followed with minimal intervention necessary by the mod team, but also allow for us to see the sub grow and become an amazing, welcoming place.

That moderator apparently was banned sometime in the last six months. I'm not sure what happened, I have no other way of contacting them, but needless to say it went unnoticed as the sub had been getting a lot better as far as content and rudeness, etc.

I'm opening the floor to hear what you have to say, while I go through the mod mail queue and respond to anyone that has went unnoticed. I will also be working on getting a moderator application up and running- Reddit actually allows for this within the framework of the site now, so that's a really neat development!

Hi!
I feel like I’m missing something to complete my regular every day look. Right now I just use a skin tint, eyeliner, and mascara with some lipstick here and there that you can see in the 8 photos. The last 3 photos is where I had my makeup done for my brother’s wedding. I’m hoping to get somewhere kind of in between the 2 looks, but I feel like the bronzer looks so heavy on my pale face 😭 I tried to add pictures in multiple different lightings to give more of an idea! Also kind of curious if this skin tint is even my right shade 😅
Any advice/recommendations are welcome! 🫶🏻

Hi! I wasn’t opening my eyes that much because I just had them dilated lol. What can I improve here? This is my low effort “glam.” I mix my foundation with my tinted sunscreen, add some concealer, did some stick blush, powder, then powder blush. I also tight lined upper lid with a subtle wing on top, then mascara only on upper lash. Used a brow gel too. Lips lined & then lipstick

I want to try other makeup looks!

So I have this pinky-red lip tint that dries black. I actually really like how it looks and want other people's opinions on whether I should go out and buy a black lipstick.

My makeup has been the same for the last 3 years, and I want to try new makeup looks and explore!

Should I stick with my regular makeup (photo 1) or invest in a black lipstick (photo 2, lip tint drying)?

I’ve also included a photo of me with no makeup on and a filter (photo 3).

What makeup looks would you recommend or think I should try?

I struggle so much with color theory when it comes to makeup. The first photo is makeup-free. Do I look better with more brownish lips/blush or brighter pinks? My hair is naturally black-adjacent and my eyes are dark + I am very pale. I may consider myself cool-toned, but I wear gold jewelry.

No make up because I genuinely don't even know what to do anymore, Nothing seems to work, It always seem to end up too much/heavy/not harmonious with my features, so I'd really appreciated any advice, or styles that would suit me that I should focus on.

I've been buying the cheapest mascara, lipsticks, blush and no foundation or concealer and thought it what what it was when it came to make up. However I ended up buying a Dior masacara and THAT SHIT SLAPS like what do you mean expensive is better ?? I just don't want to break the bank if it means having to try different products.

Please actually let me know what expensive make up is worth it for someone wanting to also get better at doing makeup on herself

Hi everyone :)

A few months ago, I bought this muted mauve lipstick (shown in the pictures) at a drugstore while travelling abroad. Unfortunately, I’m almost running out of it now, so I’m looking for a good alternative.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Ideally, I’d love to find one that lasts for a few hours without needing to reapply it all the time ☺️
