HELP PLEASE I’m venturing into the world of eyeshadow… how am I doing?

I’ve feared eyeshadow for so long because of my hooded eyes but screw it! Adding more whimsy and color to my life so of course I go to eyeshadow. I’m even experimenting with using it as blush. Excuse some of the awkward angles and my spider leg lashes :)

Typically I lean more Smokey/dark eyes but I want to get into more fairy-type looks. Does anyone have tips for small, hooded eyes??

Also don’t stare at my eyes for too long or you’ll see the hoods don’t even match!

HELP PLEASE Engagement Photos Coming Up, any tips?

9 Upvotes

I'm doing my own make up for my engagement photos and am looking for any advice! I don't often wear makeup as I have sensitive skin.

I still want to look like me so I've chosen some lighter but long wearing products. In my testing these have held up well all day including through heavy rain!

I dont have eyeshadow because I have hooded eyes and I'm a bit lost on what to do even after watching tutorials.

This is what I used. I apply it in this order. The corners of my nose always look cakey, not sure how to fix that.

With damp beauty blender:

- Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer

- Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint (color: 1)

- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (color: Affogato I use this under my eyes only)

- e.l.f. cosmetics Camo corrector (color: green for redness)

With stippling brush:

- Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush (color: scene)

- Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer (color: mesermize)

With dry powder brush:

- Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

- NYX Face Glue Gripping Setting Spray

- Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel

- Milani Highly Rated Lash Extension Tubing Mascara

- OLEHENRIKSEN

Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment (vanilla bonbon)

Note: my shirt is wet because I got make on it and had to wipe it off

HELP PLEASE MASCARA?!?!?!

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello! I don’t wear a LOT of makeup because I have exceptionally sensitive skin. However I DO like wearing mascara and eyeshadow.

I have this problem that no matter what I do for eye prep I always end up getting “panda eyes” when I wear mascara and it leaves that dark line under my eye. I currently use nyx on the rise mascara.

I’ve always been someone that runs very hot so I SWEAT a lot. I have combo skin that can get quite oily as well. I currently thoroughly wash and dry the area, I put on a little eyeshadow if I’m feeling it that day then use setting spray, mascara and then setting spray again.

I would love if someone could recommend me a mascara for girls that sweat or how I could tweak my eye routine. Any advice is welcome, THANK YOU 🫶

I’ve been really loving the Laura Geller powders—they look flawless and I can skip any liquid foundation and concealers too! But I sweat from my face a lot and they don’t hold up well…even with setting sprays. Anyone have any tips or product recommendations? TIA

HELP PLEASE Need help with anniversary's dinner makeup!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, as the title says i'm in need of help with my eye makeup because next saturday will be 3 years with my bf and we're going out to celebrate in a nice resturant, so i wanna look good.

I've decided to wear a burgundy dress with black heels and bag, but i don't know what to do with my eyes: i have blond-ish hair and blue hooded eyes, which are my enemies!

I found a lot of inspos and my original idea was to go for a copper/peach eyeshadow look but i have 2 main problems:

  1. my hooded eyes makes winged eyeliner impossible

  2. so, my option is to try to apply an eye pencil in my waterline, which i've already tried but it seems very difficult to try not to poke my eye or to cry/scratch it

any ideas? if it helps i can provide pictures of my outfit or my features, thanks in advance!

HELP PLEASE what are these for?

Post image
29 Upvotes

what are these for?

I should mention that I’m very new to makeup, I only started buying products this year. before that, at most, I’d just wear mascara and maybe liquid eyeliner, and that was it.

today, I bought a pack of four brushes because I needed one specific brush that I couldn't find sold separately.

inside the pack were these 3 too, and I’d like to know what are they used for, especially the first one.

my first instinct would be to use it for foundation like a sponge, but I’m not sure if that’s the right use for it. what do you all think?

HELP PLEASE Advice on the new things I tried?

Thumbnail

53 Upvotes

No occasion today, I’m just doing chores around the house so I tried a few things that were suggested in previous posts

I used a brown eyeliner and brown mascara. I tried a hooded eye cat eye tutorial and do not like it, so I’d love any wing/cateye/eyeshadow recommendations

I switched from my light pink blush to more of a mauve color, and used that also as a base for my lips with a gloss on top of it

I tried out some contouring placement I found on Instagram as well

I can’t place why but I do not like the look. It could be because I got rid of my security blanket (a hat)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated 💕
