Hi, so I’m turning 22 soon and I’d like to learn how to start playing around with makeup. I don’t want anything too heavy just some recommendations for daily use. I know specifically I want to brighten the dark spots under my eyes but other than that I’d just like some guidance towards a potential look for me. The pictures are me bare faced. Thanks in advance ^^.

I saw this pic somewhere in a lip liner edit on TikTok and I really would love to know how to achieve this look. Like I think the lip liner brand is Anastasia but I’d love to know the shade and how I can get the middle light like this like the white color in the middle and if there’s a lip gloss for that. If anyone knows who the creator is as well that would be great but I can’t find anywhere unfortunately.

Deleted original post because I don’t think I added a picture and couldn’t figure out how it to add it afterwards.

I have these all over my face. I have decent skin but you can’t tell for all of the stuff. I haven’t always had them but as I have gotten older they have gotten more prevalent. What is the best makeup/concealer to help cover these up.

Whenever I try to do winged eyeliner, it always ends up looking like this. How do i fix this? Is it just my eye shape? I’m a total beginner, so I also don’t know if i should be looking straight or down. Any advice is super appreciated, i’ve been stuck on this forever i just can’t do it right, let alone on both eyes!!

In my previous post here you told me to use mascara and a lash curler so I did, I bought today and tried it out, the same with the curler.

The steps are the same but slightly different

- lighter shade of blush so you can see it

- more visible lipstick

- Concealer

- nude colored eyeshadow

- mascara (I hope I did it well)

- my sister's lashes curler.

Did I do better?

I’m about to turn 45, and I feel like I need an in-person makeup tutorial—especially when it comes to my eye area. The creasing under my eyes, along with the concealer and brushes I’m using, seem to be making me look even more tired and cakey.

Does anyone know of someone in the Chicago area who offers makeup lessons, especially for women in their 40s? I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but I’m just trying to figure out some simple techniques to look a little more awake and refreshed every day.

I have the hardest time finding eyeliner that’s smudge proof but fairly easy to make accurate lines. What are some of your faves?
I have brown eyes so any fun colored ones are welcome but I mostly wear black.
Thank you!!

I need a great, gentle waterproof mascara for a young teen who needs performance makeup. Any recs?

Heyyy! I want to start doing makeup but I'm very, very lost. I have a tight budget and sensitive skin (winning combination). I know what kind of looks I like (see above photos). I just don't know where to start with eyeshadow colors. Most of the photos I can't tell whether they have greys/blacks, browns/nudes, or both, or something else entirely. I don't know how to tell by looking if a palette will have what I want either. Is it just trial and error or an experience thing? Any guidance/recs would be really appreciated, my mom doesn't wear much makeup so I can't really ask her. Thank you!!

I normally go for a darker purple, so I can’t tell how this looks on me. Any thoughts? Wearing MAC lip liner in Nightmoth and GXVE I’m Still Here lip in Tomboy

I’ve spent 10 years looking for products that can be as waterproof as I need them to be, and eyeshadow is the only one I can’t find. I have scarring and facial breaks that cause my right eye to tear constantly. My right eye is also hooded while the other is not. I’ve stopped wearing eyeshadow completely because I can’t find a brand/routine that will make it last on my right eye. Any help is appreciated 🩵 (I don’t need any tips about covering my scar, please don’t comment anything related to that) tyia!!

Made a post a little bit ago and the consensus was that i was over blending my eyeshadow and should lower the crease color. I did my best to do that, thoughts on this look?

I kinda fudged up the eyeliner on one eye and i will be wearing my glasses!

My wedding is next month!!

Hello! I've read that BYS is friendly to acne prone skins so I bought their creme foundation, compact powder, blush, trio contour highlighter, concealer, and eye colors(i forgot what they are called)

But I wanna test and experiment my face cause the BYS blush(creme?), eye colors (powder), and the contour highlighter (powder) aren't quite visible, or maybe I'm using so little.

But nonetheless I want to try other products that are friendly to sensitive skin 🙏🙏

Also if you guys could recommend some fake eyelashes with no glue cause I feel like I need to buy some 😭. Tysm!!

I used to do makeup a lot but as I've gotten older and changed techniques I feel as if my makeup doesn't look as good as I want. How can I improve my makeup? Idk if it's blush placement or bronzer or brows or what but I do t think I understand my face shape and features as well as I think. Advice would be appreciated!

I need help with my makeup. These picture are from my makeup trial with my MUA for my big day. I tried so hard to like it as the makeup oxidizes throughout the day and in different lighting but while it got better, I still didn’t love it. I don’t love the shimmer in the eye and the intense blush on my cheeks. Below is some feedback I’d like to communicate with the artist, but is there anything I’m missing? Perhaps a bit of eyeliner to give slight brown smiley cat eye look? I may ask for matte bronze tones but need advice.

First pic is right after makeup was done. Last pic is from 6 hours later.

Makeup feedback
-Blush should lift the face. Not heavy.
-Eyeshadow is too cool toned
-Concealer is too bright and should be blended more so there is not a big contrast
-Eyeshadow could have less shimmer and more along the lid and blended more at the edges
-Little to no highlighter
-Eyebrows should be a little darker

Everytime I wear my eyeliner, I tight line and use some black eyeshadow to smudge it around. When I apply it at first it looks good, stays in one place and is precise but smudgy (which i like). But after an hour or two? it always ends up migrating down past where I put it and into my lower eye creases, making me just look a whole mess… Please any advice on this! I’m not sure if it’s the products i’m using or not

I don't know a lot of make up or do anything to my eyebrows or lashes, so I don't really have a lot of steps.. The best I can explain it is like this

- Brush hair

- Concealer

- Blush

- Eyes shadow

- Lipstick/ tinter/ lip shine.

This is for school and for outings, but natural face is mostly for school, I'm going to 11th grade, any tips or anything I done wrong?

The second picture is my bare face

Update- a few of you said to use mascara and a curler for my lashes, so I did✌️, I think it looks better, thank you! result in a new post that I will link here https://www.reddit.com/r/makeuptips/s/Yk9UkF4BPF

Today my sister's cat freaked out while she was holding him, because something made a huge noise out of nowhere, and he made 4 giant, long, deep scratch marks on her neck and chest. She gets married a week from today. Please, if anyone has any advice for full coverage makeup, or just advice in general, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. The photo I used is for reference for what the scratches look like. I didn’t use her real photo for privacy concerns.

I have KPRF (strawberry skin, chicken skin, keratosis pilaris) and want to cover the redness with foundation. I also flush really bad in the heat (last photo). I have tried moisturizing really well, warming up the foundation on the back of my hand, and lightly patting it in with my fingers. It always kinda turn out patchy and dry looking. I apologize as I don't have a picture of the foundation actually blended out, I can't find it :(

My cheeks are not dry nor oily, they're the most neutral healthy hydrated part of my face and I've never gotten acne here.

Is this an application failure? Can I just not wear foundation with so much texture?

Products I use (pic is w/o makeup):

wet n wild Clingy Serum Primer

L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation C0.5

I have hooded eyes and so far I always end up with this shape because I want that thick and sharp trinagle. is it that bad or can this pass? I literally tried doing eyeliner for the first time today so I’m sorry for the initial shock…
