Hiii! So I really want to start using makeup, but have NO idea where to start. I’ve recently started using mascar and dying my eyebrows. I also have some cream blushes I sometimes use, but that’s about it. Whenever I try to do anything more I feel like I just look worse😩 any tips on figuring out what works for my face?

Bb cream/skin tint that is like your skin but better?

Sephora sale time of the year. I’m 28 and stopped wearing foundation probably 6mo ago. I have pretty nice skin but I would love something subtle and moisturizing to help me a glow a little bit in these upcoming winter months

Toxic beauty standards

Let's be honest for a second:

"Black don't crack" - is also a toxic beauty standard guys! 🚮

At this age, I can't be having an identity crisis everytime I see a new line on my face (and or body). 🤣🙆🏾‍♀️

How can i recreate this make up look?

(Photo is taken from Pinterest, not mine) I am specifically looking for products i can use to make a look similar to this. I am warm toned and my lips are naturally very pink so i couldn't find a lip combo to match the one in this picture. I can't tell if i should use eyeliner or a black eye pencil. What products/techniques should i use in order to achieve the same look?

Lash bond/seal on aliexpress?

Would it be safe if I buy and use it? Are they approved? I want a lash bond and seal for my lash extensions but I have no idea what to get and the ones on aliexpress seem cheap. Anyone tried them in the past??

Merit

Thoughts on the merit concealer, bronzer and blush? Fell in love with the blush shades and packaging but I want honest reviews before I buy it. I have acne prone skin and small bumps on my face. I’m currently on accutane though so my skin is fine but I’m scared to break out when I get off it.

What kind of tool do I use to apply pressed powder?

Hi all. What kind of tool do I use to apply pressed powder? The compact came with an applicator but the sales assistant tried the colors on me with those wedge sponges. I’d rather do this for hygienic purposes but what tool works best for my buildable foundation? Sponge, a brush (what type, kabuki?), or what it came with? Thanks in advance for tips!

My eyelids are like ballbags

They are wrinkly and move around a lot and are loose and how the f am I meant to use my beautiful new glossier pencil like the models do?

I can't even get a line - just nonsense. However I kill it with a liquid liner - just over how that looks.

Does anyone's eyes water after applying loose settting powder?

Is this too niche? I use the Kiko Milano Invisible Touch Face Fixing Powder. I usually apply lightly all over my face but my eyes water after a few hours. Is this an allergic reaction? If so, why the delay? Are there any techniques that I can do to prevent this issue? Product recs? I'm still tearing up 😭😭

MUAs, how often do you raise your rates? Do you also raise them for repeat clients?

  1. How often do you raise your rates for clients? Specifically for a 1 person/face client and NOT for something like a wedding/group event

  2. Do you also raise them for repeat clients? Again, 1 person/face

  3. About how much do you increase percentage wise?

Thanks in advance!

Tirtir foundation match help

Hi, Please help me in finding the appropriate match of tirtir foundation according to my skin tone. I am confused between 30n and 31n.

I have oily, acne prone skin (hormonal) with lots of scarring.

Any reviews about the foundation?

In search of dupes

Howdy!

My significant other asked me to post this since they don't have an account.

They need to dupe Twillery and White Wheat from the 2005 release of Inventive Eyes from MAC.

They are open to anything; highlighter or single shadows.

Any brand and preferably cruelty free.

Let me know if y'all need any other information.

Thanks!

am I going crazy or is maybelline sky high taking my lashes out

I felt like I was at losing 1 or 2 lashes a day (there would be days I would go without losing any but still) with the waterproof one, so I got the regular version of Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High and it’s still kinda hard to get off my lashes even after double cleansing. Since first use Monday, I lost like 3 lashes. Is this normal?? My lashes r long and I don’t feel like they’re weak at all even if I curl them…

Help with eyeshadow look

Is there anything I can do to improve this look? I'm not sure if the application is well done or suits me. My eyeshape is kind of hard to work with and I'm a bit inexperienced when it comes to applying eyeshadow.

I used Peach C's seasonal blending eye make-up in Re_play pink.
