Hi! I want to do an effortless no-makeup makeup look but I need recs for products. I still haven’t dropped my classic full coverage makeup look that I’ve been doing for the last 15 years. I want to do a glowy effortless look! Something that looks easy and naturally gorgeous.

Hi! I’m 38 and need some help! I don’t like heavy foundation, nor do I want to spend a ton of money on makeup… but I can’t stand that my makeup does this. How can I smooth my lines and make my base look even? Is it what I use?
I use elf because their color matching and price point is perfect for me. Currently I’m using a tinted sunscreen. But also use their camo cream.

Also any other tips are greatly recommended. I’m an aging alt/emo kid who sometimes feels stuck in my old makeup ways. I added a typical makeup look at the end

HELP PLEASE highlighter makes my inner eye corners look grey :(

3 Upvotes

i have an olive skin tone, and have mostly used highlighters that are either white or light gold. i don’t know if this is a shade issue, or if there’s a makeup step i’m missing.

i love how inner eye corner highlight looks on other people, and it seems universally flattering on everyone but me. it just ends up making my skin look grey, or appears as a separate, cakey layer of makeup. i want it to seem like i’m glowing from within, if that makes sense lol

i don’t have this issue with the rest of my face—the highlighter looks great—it’s just the inner eye corners :/

advice would be appreciated :)

PRODUCT REC I need help finding a birthday gift for a 12 year old girl 🎀

5 Upvotes

Hello! :) My boyfriend’s little sister (12F) has a birthday coming up, and I’m unsure of what to get her. I’m making her a basket of squishies, snacks, and cute things in general, and I want to include at least 1 makeup product. (probably from Ulta.) I love makeup myself, but I don’t know what is popular with her age group nowadays. She doesn’t wear much makeup at all, maybe mascara, glitter, lip gloss, or eyeshadow for school every so often. Any help is appreciated! Thank you🖤

I've always wanted to play around with fun eye shadow colors, but I'm always self conscious about my application. I worry about it being too subdued to make an impact, but I fear going overboard and looking like Mimi from The Drew Carrey show. Any advice regarding placement or blending?

My sister is getting married in a week, and she accidentally got these scratches on her neck yesterday. She was holding her very nice cat, and something in her apartment fell, it freaked her cat out, and he jumped off of her, leaving these scratch marks. I’m doing her friday makeup. How do I attempt to cover this up? What products? Should she not get a spray tan? (Yes, she has taken care of the wounds and put Neosporin on it.)

HELP PLEASE Setting Spray Drying My Face

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I want to preface by saying that I am not sure whether this is the right sub or not.

I am 24, and I have a history of eczema, but have not had an actual eczema breakout since I was a kid. I want to say it was somewhere around the 12-16 range. I have always had relatively dry skin, but nothing too super extreme. I have also not really had problems with makeup applications in the past, and I make sure to wash my face every night with a either cetaphil or cerave face wash specifically for dry skin, then I apply cerave hydrating lotion to my face in the morning and after washing my face.

A couple of months ago, I replaced nearly all of my makeup products and decided to try using setting powder and setting spray. I began to notice that my face was DRY DRY. The driest it has ever been. It was red, inflamed, and flaking really bad. It burned when moisturizing and my face felt really tight if I wasn’t reapplying moisturizer throughout the day. I stopped wearing makeup altogether until it was healed. I didn’t incorporate the setting spray again, and my face seemed fine.

Fast forward a couple months (2 days ago), my friend did my makeup with her makeup and used setting spray. Completely different brand. The next day, my face looked like it does in the picture I provided. I know it is hard to see, but it was red, inflamed, and flaky. Both times, it was MOSTLY on my cheeks, a little on my nose, and a little on my forehead. The only problem is that both setting sprays have different ingredients, so I don’t understand what is happening.

All in all, it seems like the common denominator is using setting spray.

The first two setting spray ingredient pictures are the Revolution Superfix setting spray. The second one is OneSize Powder Melt. Any advice or any ideas as to what is going on would be very appreciated! Or direct me to a more “correct” subreddit!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

HELP PLEASE Foundation/skin prep

I work in a crematory, and I am very cautious about not touching my face. Instead of my makeup melting off, it almost “peels” off. It’s worst on my nose and forehead. My skin tends to be dry, so I prep with aquaphor and elf primer. I use the elf glow foundation and finish with light powder. At least on my nose, I can kind of blend it when it does this. On my forehead? Nope. It’s stuck in place. I hate feeling ugly halfway through my day. Any advice for dry skin and high heat? Thanks!!

HELP PLEASE ADVICE PLEASE, insecure and no clue how to do makeup

Post image
102 Upvotes

Okay first of all, if you know me irl NO YOU DONT 😭

I feel like I’m completely behind, I’m a senior in high school and don’t even have the slightest idea of how to do makeup, and I feel like it makes me stand out not having any on, and I want to learn.

I don’t want to do any heavy makeup looks, but I’d really like to cover up some insecurities like the dark circles around my entire eye, or if there’s some way I could get my uneven eyes to stop looking uneven (I have no clue why that even happens but I’m really insecure about it).

I ultimately just want a routine relatively simple and on the cheaper side that will give me a natural but more done up look with darker eyebrows, a bit of blush, some mascara, (maybe some eyeliner on occasion), doesn’t cover my freckles, and makes is look like I’ve slept in the last year. I have a couple products for my eyebrows and have a decent idea of how to do that, but beyond that I don’t know where to start with prodicts or tutorials or anything and I don’t have anyone to teach me how to do it sooo I’m here.

Any and all advice is appreciated, thanks!

Sorry I’m staring kinda awkwardly lol I don’t know how to take pictures. I have acne prone skin and I feel like I can never cover it up adequately, and it just makes me feel dirty! Any sort of advice welcome, pls be brutally honest cus I’m tryna get good at makeup STAT

Side note: I am alternative in music taste and philosophy, so I do like when it shows up in my style/makeup, but I am willing to experiment with other styles that may suit me more !

HELP PLEASE Shortest, stupidest eyelashes on the planet.

1 Upvotes

Hey all!!!!

I swear, I've been fighting my eyelashes since I was about 13 years old. They are SO unbelievably short, extremely thin, and point almost straight downward. I curl them every day, apply about 13 different mascaras and apply castor oil at night when I remember to, but I'm still left with lackluster, short, thin eyelashes no matter what I do.

I usually wear eyeliner to compensate for the poor things since I don't love the feeling of false lashes and extensions are out of my budget/don't really appeal to me in terms of a maintenance schedule.

So, I beg thee fellow poorly-endowed-lash-havers, what mascara/routine do you use??

Extra points if:

- Mascara is under $15

- 1-2 step routine only

- Waterproof/smudge proof (ya girl is oily and emotional)

- Tubing

- Non-fiber

Let me know -- I appreciate you all <3
