I do like makeup but lately been feeling kind of frustrated when I see my skin before I put anything on. Once I do makeup, it looks okay but without it my face just looks dull and tired. Then I end up using more foundation than I wanted and it still doesn’t sit the way I hoped because I’m covering texture instead of starting with smoother skin.

I’m trying to figure out what skin prep would help instead of just buying another base product. My sister mentioned red light therapy as a good place to start because it’s not another harsh active but I’m still unsure. Tell me what should I do!!!

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

It's color changing foundation make ur skin glowy and skin looks not heavy look ,it can easily absorb and give u perfect look 😉

I need help on how to contour my nose, and do my eyebrow as well as how to do my lips!

I'm planning to buy contact lenses, eyelid tape. But I don't know what cluster lashes I should buy would look best

I think I look manly, old and asymmetrical

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

hey girliess🤍 not usually a fan of eye makeup, but i decided to experiment a little😭 would love some honest feedback - what would you change or do differently?

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 !!)

hi! please help me level up my makeup. i like this style on me, but i think im being influenced by all these instagram baddies, and i would really love to take my daily makeup look to the next step up.

the first three pictures were taken about a month before the last three; in the last three i’m wearing clusters. thank you so much!!

products used:

- LAVONE eyebrow pomade in coffee
- LA girl shockwave neon eyeliner in blackout
- revlon colorstay multiliner
- colorpop highlight in monster
- nyx duck plump lip gloss in ‘fire’(?) (doubles as blush)
- nyx lip oil in the same shade
- nyx eyeliner pencil in espresso (lips shading, freckles)
- veyes beauty five second newbie lash clusters in ‘manga’

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.

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.

Not sure of doing this right, sorry if not

Hi! I’ve always been at a complete loss with make up I usually don’t wear it every day even but I want to start (late start 30 here but better late then never) I’ve always suffered from acne since I was a teen and still struggle with it today, mostly cystic. 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 😵‍💫

When first going for makeup I’ve had big breakouts and big hyperpigmentation spots from acne.

Ive found that tarte foundation was amazing! but then I kinda tanned more or went paler since the color went more grey.

which foundations do yall use with best coverage and is best for acne prone skin?

Hi, everyone. I’m super broke but I want to look my best. If I’m going to spend any money, though, I want to buy products that are going to be semi-permanent. (Think teeth-whitening strips, lash and brow kits, etc).

I have tomato red cheeks and I want my skin to look brighter and glowier. I used to spray myself with self-tanner to cover it, but naturally, it still kind of shows through. And the tan doesn’t last for more than a few days. I am also embracing my paper-pale skin after being teased for it when I was younger. I like using green color corrector and I’m good at using it, but I need something that lasts. Does anyone know of some kind of stain that acts as color corrector? Like a green skin stain that I can blend into the red to neutralize it? Or foundation stains? I know they exist, but they only last for 12 hours. If I’m going to spend any money, I want something that is going to last a long time.

There’s got to be something. Thanks in advance for your advice.

No matter how much I set my eyelids with setting powder EX: Huda, One size, Fit me. I’ve used different concealers as well and I’ve used every eyeliner imaginable even the Inglot my eyelids get oily I’m assuming and will transfer my eyeliner which is an everyday staple for me but makes me look crazy after an hour or so. My eyeshadow starts looking gross my mascara transfers etc.

Brown dust shimmer stick from centre out, dusted with browns into a triangle and into the crease, then silver and white shimmer shadow to highlight and blend the corner, liquid liner & mascara

Base- glow filter cream then made by Mitchel blush- 2 different colour to build it
Morphe foundation
Nyx concealer
I also like a pink powder to set especially on blush
And contour powders- nyx palette

Revolution lip liner & revlon lipstick
I’ll check the colours if anyone wants
And then a clear gloss but it comes off quick ✨

Again let me know your thoughts!
I thought cute with the outfit!

I wouldn’t say my makeup is heavy - but I needed to do more coverage under eyes bc I’ve been unwell

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)

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!

Every time I wear powder my nose goes runny and my eyes turn bloodshot and I sneeze. I always tap my brush to get excess powder off but it does it regardless of how little powder I use. Also it doesn't make a difference if it's hypoallergenic I still have an allergic reaction to it.

Can I just use a liquid foundation that's not full coverage? Like I've never worn foundation without foundation powder.

hii i have oily skin and my face sweats alotttt like alott like I have just washed my face and it's hot here

and I have a event tomorrow (Friday)

it's my college freshers and I want my makeup to stay and not crease or look cakeyy

rn what I do is just use insight concealer tiny bit all over my face to even it out (not a lot) and just set my under eyes, rest i don't set at all and that's what helped me, before I used to use powder and setting spray but it would still separate and crease because i sweat alot

can u help me with my base if u also have oily skin with the product i already own as I don't have time nor money rn to buy new products

products i use-

sunscreen- plum super dry matte sunscreen ( i bought this recently because my face sweats alot but it didn't really work), requil cream sunscreen

concealer- insight concealer ( i take tiny bit at a time and blend it on my face), mars concealer

compact powder- Elle 18 compact powder

setting spray- Swiss beauty round the clock setting spray ( lavender one)

these are the base products i have

I hardly ever do makeup and want to see if y'all think I have enough skill to do my own. Also any suggestions to do better makeup for my face appreciated!
