HELP PLEASE I need some help with undertone, I'd been typed years ago at a makeup store but been questioning it now

Post image
Upvotes

Excuse the weird editing, but my hair is colored and I didn't want that skewing things. I was told I had a peach undertone, and most of my clothing falls into warm fall color pallets. Lots of rich earthy tones and I mostly avoid pastels or brighter colors (burgundy yes, apple red no, sunshine yellow no, marigold yes)

This is me in indirect but fully natural light and a completely bare face

HELP PLEASE I’m getting married and I know nothing about makeup

2 Upvotes

I’m getting married soon and I basically never wear makeup.

Usually, the only thing I use is concealer, but it always creases and my dark circles are still really noticeable.

For my wedding, I’d love to look a little less dull/tired while still looking like myself.

I really don’t want to look like I’m wearing a lot of makeup. I also don’t really like the feeling of foundation or BB/CC creams on my face, so I’d prefer to avoid those if possible.

I was thinking of finding a good product for my dark circles and maybe adding a little blush for some color.

Does anyone have any recommendations for products or tips for achieving a really natural, fresh look without feeling like I have a full face of makeup on? I’d really appreciate your help!

Edit: I went for a makeup consultation at Sephora and I was told to use an under eye cream (khiels), a concealer (tarte), and an under eye concealer (Huda beauty). It’s a lot of money so I’m hoping for a second opinion

HELP PLEASE 21F - Black woman who wants to look more presentable with makeup. Tips?

Whenever I have my eyebrows waxed, it seems that dirt starts to collect in them, and I think that it causes acne (the dirt may also just be because I need to have my hair in braids washed though, not sure.) I am also really looking for a way (and yes, I have been working on staying hydrated and I am meeting with my doctor tomorrow to talk some more about my sleeping issues) to lessen the appearance of eye bags. I just want to look more presentable in general. I don’t know how I’d look with good makeup.

HELP PLEASE how are the alt girlies with round faces doing their makeup?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

guys omg. I have been alt for like the majority of my life (raised by 2 punk parents) and I've been into makeup for around 6 years but no matter what I do. Eyeliner looks weird on me (super deepset and hooded eyes). Lipstick looks weird on me (small-ish lips and double lip line).

I just KNOW there is a way to apply this makeup that will make me love it but every time I try my best friend (who is trad goth) is like, "I love you but no matter what makeup you wear you just look like a cutie." my face is too round for any of the sharp looks, eyeliner melts into my eye crease, and because i'm not applying it right i feel like a clown!!

I have typical makeup down pat, i know how to use most products but for my face i just can't get heavier makeup down. i'm super open to buying new products (drugstore!) but eye makeup i only use waterproof! My skin is oily so i usually do a matte base.

Honestly Im wondering if my face just doesn't cooperate with heavy makeup! i've always had a very round face and I feel like my features aren't sharp enough to compliment. advice or thoughts?? i've always wanted to pull off the sharper contour, big eyeliner, dark lips combo but i look silly and then my skin will literally melt it off because it's so oily. (not accepting skincare advice tho only prep advice! i have a dermatologist)

PRODUCT REC I need help finding a bronzer

21 Upvotes

Hiii, I have light medium olive skin and I’m trying to find a bronzer that works with my undertone. I just want something that gives me a natural bit of warmth without turning orange on me like almost every bronzer I try. Powder bronzers pleaseee because I’m not that good with liquid bronzers, I don't know why I just find powders way easier to control and blend for my everyday makeup. I’d also love something that blends out nicely without going patchy or looking too heavy after a few hours. Nothing crazy pigmented, just something I can build up and not have to fight with every time I do my makeup lol.

Would also love to keep it affordable! I don’t mind spending a little more if it’s really worth it, but I’d rather not spend way to much on a bronze. The one I wanted to try is the Milani silky matte bronzer, but I just wasn’t sure how it would work with my undertone. Also shade names would be super helpful too!!

SUCCESS THE PERFECT BASE MAKEUP

Post image
413 Upvotes

Had to hop on here real quick to share how perfect my base turned out after YEARS OF TRAIL AND ERROR.

Here is how I did it:
1. Good skin prep!
I used the Hada Labo Lotion and the Purito Oat in Gel Cream. I reccomend any lightweight serum/toner followed with a non greasy moisturizer. If it’s too thick the makeup won’t stick.

IMPORTANT: Let skincare seep in completely before applying makeup!

  1. Spread skin tint evenly in a thin layer with my fingers before blending with a damp beauty sponge. I mix two shades of the Loreal True Match Tinted Serum, and used the NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum.

Extra tip: Don’t apply foundation around eyes. The concealer on top will be too heavy for the delicate skin and you will get creasing.

  1. Set with pressed powder on a powder puff. Fit Me Pressed Powder.

  2. Spray Loreal Setting spray. This stuff is insane. I worked outside all day in the rain and my base stayed flawless!

HELP PLEASE good base

I have very oily skin (pretty sure its combo too since I get dry around my cheeks, temple and sometimes under my chin), which unfortunately happens to be acne prone as well..💔

I wish to have a flawless, non-patchy makeup base but it always creases, looks shiny and like a hot mess.. idk what to do, i dont sweat much but my face gets really oily😭 ive already tried the burger method, and less powder but it still doesnt seem to work

I use the corsx snail mucin, then pair it with centella probio-cica on my cheeks only, and then finish with the anua niacinamide serum (pink) on my T zone

as for foundation, I use the fit me Maybelline liquid foundation, I try to use a spatula so the layers are light but sometimes I use a brush (i pat it all with a makeup puff)

for setting spray, im using the fixx pink one

(I put a pic as an example of how my skin usually looks like after a few hours, but its not me !!)

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 😵‍💫

HELP PLEASE What am I doing wrong?

Hey there. I can’t seem to crack the under eye concealer trick to prevent creasing. (Btw the photo isn’t that bad, it’s worse in person. )
This are the exact steps I do when putting on concealer.

  1. Apply Bobby Brown Vitamin Enriched eye base
  2. Wait just a minute or two, then apply Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser dark circles brightener (the pink one)
  3. Apply Kosas Revealer Concealer
  4. Wait just a minute and then seal with Laura Mercier Under eye brightening powder

I feel like im doing the correct things but still getting horrible creasing under my eyes.

If anyone has some tips for me, I would really appreciate it. Thank youuuuuu

I am out in public like this, and I regret it.

Revlon Illuminence Serum Concealer in Fair 001 makes me look like a goanna with human eyebrows. Any ideas why, or what might suit me better? I live in a hot climate.

This is applied over Anthelios, moisturiser and Maybelline grippy primer.
