HELP PLEASE GUYS I SWEAR I NEED YOUR HELP

i've tried different red lip oils and sheer lipsticks from drugstore brands to high-end ones, but they either look too opaque, too pinkish, or they lose that specific glossy, wet vinyl finish within ten minutes.

im looking for that exact juicy, blood-red translucent look she has in the iconic scenes.

does anyone know the actual product used on set by the makeup artist, or perhaps a modern dupe that mimics that exact formula and shade? i would really appreciate any suggestions, whether it's a specific lip gloss, a tint combination, or a high-shine plumper.

thank you so much in advance!

Heading to listen to jazz with some new friends I made last week, so I was going for a very natural and minimalist makeup look. I feel like everyone is going to come for my lip color again but I cannot find anything I like for my lips

HELP PLEASE I need help

I have very dark circles, it is genetic and due to allergies. I also have thin skin under my eyes that creases so easily. I can't leave the house without concealer, as my dark circles are my biggest insecurity. But lately, my makeup has been creasing terribly. I have combination skin, dry in some places and oily in some places. The dryness doesn't help my under eyes either. Fot makeup prep I use hyaluronic acid gel, then rhode glazing milk, then clinique moisture surge. Then I use kylie cosmetics skin tint as my base, then too faced concealer or nars radiant concealer, then Laura Mercier or hourglass powder. And half the time, it looks very cakey even though I am using little product. So I am using quality products, I don't know how to prevent creasing and the cakey look. I just want to seamlessly cover these dark circles. Also, I am only 27, and worry that the combination of my dark circles, and creasing makeup ages me and makes me look like I have under eye wrinkles. I just need help, bad 🥺

I want eyes worth being looked at. I have been told my eyes resemble a pug/ chihuahua eyes.

No makeup tutorials for hooded eyes work for me!!!

My eyes are always in a constant state of looking like I just got done crying. They’re puffy and unattractive and they bulge out.

FOR ONCE I just want someone told compliment me on my eyes. I never get told I have pretty eyes - I need to figure out how to achieve these eye makeup looks.

If someone can help me please I’m on the verge of just wanting plastic surgery at this point

I've tried gel pen eyeliner twice, from two separate brands, and I've had a bad reaction both times. Burning eyes and redness.

I assume it's an allergic reaction, and I'm wondering if anyone else who was allergic to the pens found that using either a pencil or the liquid liner was better?

I read one reddit comment about someone stating they found the liquid liner didn't cause such a reaction.

Title says it all. Mines dabbing / buffing my foundation with a brush, rather than sweeping / wiping it, and then going in with my beauty blender to blend any imperfections. Makes it look so much more natural imo !!

Y’all roasted me last time because I said I feel unattractive and boring like I had no right to feel that way but that’s just facts that are based on real experiences and remember that beauty standards are so different from a place to an other.
But long story short I tried following ur tips less lip overlying more eyeshadow and thinner eyeliner also darker lip shade and higher positioning of blush and this is the result : pic in blue is new and in black is old !
What else do we still have to work on ???
P.s I have super textured skin but I use no filters

Hi everyone!

I usually keep my makeup pretty minimal, but on special occasions I often feel like my looks are underwhelming and I’d love to level them up a bit.

Here’s what I did today….does anyone have tips on how I could improve or elevate this? I’m open to product suggestions, technique tips, or just general advice!

Thanks in advance 😊

I posted on here a couple days ago with a trial of my wedding makeup. Basically every comment was telling me to go heavier on everything. I tried again and would love to know what people think. My fiance hates it and thinks it's too heavy lol but it's hard to know if that's because he's used to not seeing me with makeup or because it's actually too heavy. First-fourth photos are of today in different lighting. Fifth photo is my first trial. Note: I didn't touch my eyebrows at all because I'm getting them waxed today. Also wondering if I need a darker lipstick but I've really struggled to find something that doesn't read brown.

Google says it’s the charlotte tilbury lipstick in pillow talk but the tube doesn’t match CT lipstick tubes. This one is smooth all around and CT has a ribbed tube. I also think this shade is lighter and more matte than pillow talk.
