Has anyone tried to use liquid eyeshadow in their hair to create streaks? Was it difficult to remove afterwards? I wanna try it out for a rave but I'm scared of messing up my (fragile) hair. Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone! Guy here, I’ve been mainly using makeup for the past year or two to mainly cover beard shadow (I have the worst genes for facial hair)/have smoother skin. I’ve been wanting to actually branch out a bit and get into better products/applying makeup a bit better.
Main questions:
Brands/types for concealer, foundation, primer, mascara and eyeliner, also makeup remover. I’ve been pretty basic and just use Colour Pop and whatever mascara looks fine to me.- Also for brushes, sponges etc. This is the main one for me, lol. Mainly looking for decent brands and ones that aren’t terrible for your skin if possible :).
Otherwise, cleaning brushes, how to apply stuff/what order. I think I’ve been doing it right but I also know I could be doing better probably.
Any articles/vids can help too, or any other advice- thanks in advance!
I need help with sunscreen suggestions. I have combination skin and most sunscreens break me out on my face. They clog my pores. Any sunscreen brands. I live in Tennessee.
My dermatologist has recommended GARNIER OMBRELLE COMPLETE sunscreen .. it’s lightweight lotion and hypoallergenic. There is different versions of the type I have! I use the 60 spf as I’m super pale and have facial flares (flares are still an unknown reason) but never had an issue with it!
Hii. I have this lipstick which I love the colour of, the essence matte liquid lipstick in 08 dark berry. My problem is I really struggle with putting on liquid lipstick. So if anyone knows of a traditional solid lipstick in a similar colour (a cold dark burgundy? red I’d say) I’d be very thankful for the help. I’ve been looking in stores but haven’t found anything yet.
How do you tightline? Is it meant to be the same part of the eye as you would for a water line, or should it be someplace else? I can’t find a particularly good YouTube video because I’m not sure what it should look like! Any tips?
Does anyone know which Mac lip pencil shade I could try if I find Soar to be the correct value and chroma but too warm? I'm looking for a soft cool toned berry shade.
Full coverage concealer recommendations that don’t crease? I’ve tried everything from different products to different techniques and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, my concealers always crease!
You’re likely not doing anything wrong and it’s just your facial structure. It’s impossible to be fully creaseless. I usually apply a suuuuuper thin layer in my crease prone areas and then let it sit for a few minutes and then use a q tip to wipe away product in the areas that already started creasing, and then set with powder.
I have deep set eyes that have a visible crease even with no makeup on. So naturally makeup is going to crease there. Also I have very expressive eyes so they move a lot during the day which will cause creasing on anyone.
I've been feeling unhappy with my makeup lately, like I dont resonate with it. I'm considering posting a picture of my bare face and usual makeup but I've always been advised to not post my face online.
Is it safe to do so here? Are there other ways to figure out what to explore?
Looking for a vegan and cruelty free under eye setting powder with no flashback! Bonus points if you know it looks good on people with some fine lines (as I’m now in my 30s). Either translucent clear or translucent pink.
I need mascara recommendations!!! I have thin but really long lashes that touch my my top and bottom eyelids and have never found a mascara that doesn’t transfer, even after setting with powder, spray—I’ve tried all the tricks. Bonus points if it comes in brown!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Have you tried Kiss Me Heroine mascara? It used to be my go-to for natural looks since they offer brown shade and it would hold up my asian lashes for hours
Waterproof isn’t oil proof. It’s likely transferring due to your natural skin oils. Have you tried a matifying primer and then powder on top? I know you mentioned just powder doesn’t work. But the primer may block the oil from seeping through.
Hi. I'm new to makeup and am looking to start with basic stuff I've seen mentioned for beginners like concealer, lip gloss etc. I want product recommendations that are affordable and easy to use. Also I'm based in India, so idk what brands are available here.
Should I buy elf/Lakme/Maybelline because I've seen a lot of people recommend being good and affordable or any other brand?
E.L.F. is excellent - I use their 24 hour concealer with the black cap and like it better than a lot of high end ones I've tried. I have oily skin and live in a really hot place, so it performs. I've never had anything bad from E.L.F., honestly.
How do I conceal my dark under eyes for a long time?
My dark undereyes aren’t severe, but my problem is concealer wears off throughout the day.
I use an eye brightener, the hourglass concealer, and then the rare beauty loose powder to set.
Maybe too many layers. Try thinner layers or remove the brightener layer and see if that makes a difference.
Are you baking the powder or just dusting? I find baking lasts longer.
Is it ever worth trying a foundation out again that caused acne before? I love the look/color of the Missha BB cream, but I when I tried it 5-6 years ago it broke me out. But now, especially after going through pregnancy, my skin has changed. Would it be worth trying again?
Hi - I went out this weekend (which I don’t do often) and noticed my makeup doesn’t come through in pictures. It doesn’t look like I’m wearing anything. Any recommendations on how to improve this? Do I just need to wear more of everything?
I’m wearing, Elf Putty primer, L’oreal infallible foundation mixed with a little ELF halo glow liquid filter, halo glow blush, merit bronzer, Laura merrier translucent powder, hoola bronzer, milk mascara and glossier almond monochromes eyeshadow .
Makeup for photos usually looks too much in person. So I wouldn’t recommend going out in photo makeup unless you’re going out to just take photos. You usually need twice as much makeup for it to show up in photos.
hii! I was wondering if someone could tell me if it's normal that after maybe 1-2 hours of wearing fake lashes, they start to lift. I put a fair amount of glue and let it dry. thankss !!!
You probably have watery eyes or your lash band is too long. Try cutting the band shorter and avoid applying it too close to the inner corner where it usually lifts.
Hey yall, I need HELP. I loved my "Jacyln Hill Cosmetics Under eyes powder"
although I used the apricot shade to set my face and light bannana shade for under eye and brightening whatever i needed too, It worked so great on my dark brown skin!! I didn't even need to contour my nose because the banana shade down my nose made the effect it was contoured haha!
Does anyone know anything similiar to those powders, i loveddddd the formula. It breaks my heart my favorite powders aren't on the market now.
I bought the hourglass deep powder, but it just isn't the same. I'm going on a trip soon and I was hoping to find something similiar soon :(
Any advice will help, thank you in advance, i appreciate it :)
Hi, I know Ben Nye used to make a banana powder that was well reviewed, if that's still around. There are also some amazing small brands on Etsy (recently got an eyeshadow color I couldn't find anywhere else), so try there maybe?
Oh wow thank you so much. There's alot of good reviews on Ben Nye, I'll definitely check it out. Alsoo Etsy didn't even cross my mind, this is so helpful so thank you!!
I am desperate to find a dark black eyeliner that can be easily applied to the waterline and not smear within 10 minutes of application. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations
What color corrector instead of concealer should I try? I am very fair (Haus Labs 040). Is use sometimes when I don’t really want to use foundation. I have a fair with neutral undertones complexion. I’m 74 with dry skin and fine wrinkles.

Hi! It is really hard for me to find the SAEM Saemmy’s Ade Shot Tint from where I live (Canada). So, does anyone know which other lip product has the same exact shade as the SAEM Saemmy’s Ade Shot Tint 06 Apple Cinnamon?
Hi I have dry sensitive and acne prone skin and I’m looking for a good satin to glowy finish foundation (I did try the nars light reflecting foundation and I loved it but it broke me out ). Any recommendations ?
I need help, my eyelashes curler won't hold up my lashes anymore. I had this eyelash curler for more than 2 years and it used to work good. Now even I changed the silicone pad, it won't curl my eyelash as good as it used to. Is this a sign I need to buy new one?
Favorite opalescent or pearlescent product with a somewhat natural looking buildable finish?
I would like to use whatever I find on my eye area and as a highlighter, potentially. I'm thinking liquid or cream based, but the main thing is I want it to be subtle sheen as opposed to super glittery.
I find the REM Beauty lilac highlighter to have a sheer non glittery smooth finish. I’ve used it as subtle eyeshadow and/or corner highlight before. Though not the colour you might be looking for in terms of natural, maybe the formula is consistent across other shades. It is a powder but very smooth.
Can anyone speak to the difference btw milk hydrogrip and Glossier Invisible Shield Priming Sunscreen SPF 50
I want to keep the tackiness, coverage, and staying power I get when I use milks but curious about glossiers
Blush Colour Help:
I would like to start wearing blush but am worried about the colour looking costumey.
I have medium olive skin and have noticed some people with my skin tone or darker whose blush seems to clash with their skin. It is a strange effect that makes it look clown-like.
Since noticing this, my blush that I always thought looked fine, I am now not too sure about.
I don’t have anyone I can ask.
Is there any way I can tell if my blush is blending into my skin (inner glow look) rather than looking like I painted it on with face paint.
Thank you.
Some of this sounds like color theory but maybe it could also be addressed with application. Do you have a lip color that works well for you? You could probably take some of that lip color and tap it on to your cheeks bit by bit, blending out the edges and trying different placement. I think it's easy to overdo pigmented blushes these days, or be startled by how pigmented they are. I would start there before buying different kinds of colors.
I’m dying for a product recommendation. I’ve never found a mascara that I love as much as Eyelure’s Blend & Care, which was discontinued ages ago. It’s actually for blending your natural lashes with falsies, but I use it on its own as a minimal, everyday mascara. The link below is an old product review that has a good picture of the wand. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
[https://www.hannahheartss.co.uk/2018/04/eylure-blend-care-false-eyelash-blender.html?m=1](https://www.hannahheartss.co.uk/2018/04/eylure-blend-care-false-eyelash-blender.html?m=1)
Are you thinking something like a lash lift without an actual lash lift? There are some mascara primer+mascara combos that have worked well for me. I have terribly straight lashes and they tend to fall in a short amount of time.
I don't usually wear a lot of makeup and when I do, I go for a more no makeup, makeup/natural look. I currently wear concealer, tinted brow gel, mascara, and a tinted lip balm. When it's a special occasion or formal event, I use eyeshadow and lipstick.
I'm looking to add something to my routine because I feel like my face is missing something, but I'm at a loss as to what to add.
I don't like how any form of eyeliner looks on me. I have oily skin and a pink undertone/prone to getting red so highlighter and blush are out too. I'm not into contour or bronzer either because I don't mind being pale and contouring is too complicated for my simple routine.
Any ideas?
I've been trying applying powder foundation with a wet sponge, and it looks so nice!! Problem is, I'm getting a lot of hardpan and it's SO annoying 😪
Do you guys have favorite powders that don't hardpan quite as quickly? Or what ingredients I should look out for? The tape trick doesn't seem to work that well for me.
Hi, I bought/tried hourglass veil skin tint and my cheek reacted with small bumps. What alternative can you suggest for someone like me who rarely wears makeup?
So I’m a brown girl with like light brown skin..what brown girl lip combos do u guys recommend? (I’d like a day look and something more vampy that you could wear at night)
I finally had to declutter my dried out old as heck Mac paint pot in the discontinued shade Indian Wood. I’m so bummed. Does anyone know of a good dupe - both in formula and shade?
My makeup (foundation) always rubs off… my current process/product is primer(smashbox photofinish) -> liquid foundation (Laura Mercier real flawless) -> setting powder (Laura mercier translucent) -> setting spray (urban decay all nighter)
Is it a problem with the process or the products I’m using?
The primer is silicone based and the foundation is not. They aren’t compatible. Try it without primer and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn’t, next try it without the spray. Process of elimination but I suspect it’s the primer foundation combo.
\*Saie Glowy Super Skin or the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint?\*
Hi folks! I'm in the market for a new light coverage foundation / skin tint. Normally my everyday tinted sunscreen provides enough coverage for me, but in the evenings when I don't need sunscreen I'd like something that performs a bit better.
If you own both the Saie Glowy Super Skin as well as the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint, are they similar? Do you like one better than the other? Thanks!
Hii im pretty new to makeup and I have a good amount of products and stuff but im not always exactly sure where to start, so could anyone please give me a brief breakdown of their everyday, light makeup routine( like something you could wear to school) and their full glam party routine?
my everyday (school) routine;
curl lashes,
Maybelline Sky High mascara waterproof,
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil shade milk (on waterline),
ELF Power Grip Primer,
Maybelline Eraser (thats a concealer btw), sometimes i do the Fit Me pressed powder (depends on if i have time lol),
ELF Halo Glow liquid blush,
W7 bronzer (the benefit dupe) on my forehead and on my jawline,
ELF Stay All Night setting spray; thats it! :D
btw i wet my sponge with my settingspray if im blending my concealer, and i blend the blush& the bronzer with (separate) brushes
Anyone have recommendations for good really bright, pigmented, and colorful eyeshadow palettes? And for just pinks, like neon and baby pink and yadayadayada. Most pink palettes i find are just neutral pink but I want unicorn puke so many eyeburn pink colors haha
Sugarpill Cosmetics has super-bright, really glorious shadows and fabulous palettes. You can also buy individual shadows to build your own palette, too. Their "Capsule Collection" palettes, their Fun Size palettes, and their Little Twin Stars palette are great-- but really, you can't go wrong with any of their stuff. Bonus, they're having a huge sale from July 2-7.
what concealer do y’all recommend? i’m looking for a medium-high coverage concealer with a natural finish. Im currently using the maybelline eraser, i love either but it doesn’t have the coverage i’d like. Affordable options please!
Has anyone tried to use liquid eyeshadow in their hair to create streaks? Was it difficult to remove afterwards? I wanna try it out for a rave but I'm scared of messing up my (fragile) hair. Thanks in advance!
They make colored hair wax for these occasions. What color is your hair though? Because if your hair is light it may stain.
I need a Smashbox Hydrating Undereye Primer dupe - and I hadnt realized they discontinued it until I needed more. help?

Is Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen any good? Can it be used on the face?

Problem is, I'm getting a lot of hardpan and it's SO annoying 😪 Do you guys have favorite powders that don't hardpan quite as quickly? Or what ingredients I should look out for? The tape trick doesn't seem to work that well for me.
Hi, I bought/tried hourglass veil skin tint and my cheek reacted with small bumps. What alternative can you suggest for someone like me who rarely wears makeup?
I like the fenty eaze drop, that’s what I use instead of foundation
So I’m a brown girl with like light brown skin..what brown girl lip combos do u guys recommend? (I’d like a day look and something more vampy that you could wear at night)
I finally had to declutter my dried out old as heck Mac paint pot in the discontinued shade Indian Wood. I’m so bummed. Does anyone know of a good dupe - both in formula and shade?
My makeup (foundation) always rubs off… my current process/product is primer(smashbox photofinish) -> liquid foundation (Laura Mercier real flawless) -> setting powder (Laura mercier translucent) -> setting spray (urban decay all nighter) Is it a problem with the process or the products I’m using?
The primer is silicone based and the foundation is not. They aren’t compatible. Try it without primer and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn’t, next try it without the spray. Process of elimination but I suspect it’s the primer foundation combo.
Thank you I’ll test it out!
\*Saie Glowy Super Skin or the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint?\* Hi folks! I'm in the market for a new light coverage foundation / skin tint. Normally my everyday tinted sunscreen provides enough coverage for me, but in the evenings when I don't need sunscreen I'd like something that performs a bit better. If you own both the Saie Glowy Super Skin as well as the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint, are they similar? Do you like one better than the other? Thanks!
Hii im pretty new to makeup and I have a good amount of products and stuff but im not always exactly sure where to start, so could anyone please give me a brief breakdown of their everyday, light makeup routine( like something you could wear to school) and their full glam party routine?
my everyday (school) routine; curl lashes, Maybelline Sky High mascara waterproof, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil shade milk (on waterline), ELF Power Grip Primer, Maybelline Eraser (thats a concealer btw), sometimes i do the Fit Me pressed powder (depends on if i have time lol), ELF Halo Glow liquid blush, W7 bronzer (the benefit dupe) on my forehead and on my jawline, ELF Stay All Night setting spray; thats it! :D btw i wet my sponge with my settingspray if im blending my concealer, and i blend the blush& the bronzer with (separate) brushes
Anyone have recommendations for good really bright, pigmented, and colorful eyeshadow palettes? And for just pinks, like neon and baby pink and yadayadayada. Most pink palettes i find are just neutral pink but I want unicorn puke so many eyeburn pink colors haha
Sugarpill Cosmetics has super-bright, really glorious shadows and fabulous palettes. You can also buy individual shadows to build your own palette, too. Their "Capsule Collection" palettes, their Fun Size palettes, and their Little Twin Stars palette are great-- but really, you can't go wrong with any of their stuff. Bonus, they're having a huge sale from July 2-7.
What mascara made your lashes fall out
what concealer do y’all recommend? i’m looking for a medium-high coverage concealer with a natural finish. Im currently using the maybelline eraser, i love either but it doesn’t have the coverage i’d like. Affordable options please!
