I’m got this from Aldi in June last year and it’s the best base for me. I only bought one and never saw it again. Does anyone know what it’s a dupe of?

I have this lipgloss from Boots Natural Collection, I bought it about 8 years ago and have just rediscovered it and love this colour. I have looked it up online and cannot find it anywhere. I think the colour was called something like Turkish delight or antique rose but the writing has all rubbed off so I am not sure. If any one could find a product with a similar colour that would be amazing!!

Hi guys, I'm an expat from the US that moved to the UK last year. I have really sensitive eyes, most mascaras make my eyes water like crazy and burn. Covergirl Lash Blast Clean is the only one I've tried that doesn't have this effect, and the waterproof one has the added benefit of not giving me raccoon eyes after 2 hours of wear. However, they don't sell it in the UK! Devastated 🥲 If anyone has any recommendations for something similar, please help! Thanks in advance 🩷

Hi everyone I’m looking for a really good drugstore setting spray. My makeup is pretty much all Charlotte tilbury but it’s such a waste when my makeup melts off halfway through the day. I’m currently on accutane (so my skin will be very very very dry for the next 6 months) and I tested out the L’Oréal infallible setting spray but I found it to be so horrible, uncomfortable and tight on my face, and I know it’s mean to be one of the best but with how dry my skin is I don’t even think it would last without my skin flaking off. As I said I use CT so I have a very glowy look going on with usually a powdered T zone, so I don’t particularly want anything mattifying, I just want my makeup to not melt off and budge (my skin is usually combo when I’m not on accutane). I’ve heard very mixed reviews about the ct setting spray so when I can afford it I’m going to try this out. But at the moment I’m looking for a budgeproof drugstore setting spray. Thank you in advance 💖

Hi,

I'm a guy, and I have these genetic dark circles under my eyes. They're not really bad or anything, but for the past year or so I've been covering them up with this basic concealer.

It did the job and looked better than without, and I only needed a tiny bit, but it was ultimately a little too light for my skin. My skin tone is relatively light, but this was perhaps one shade too much so.

I went into the store today to buy a new one, but there were so many shades I didn't know which to pick. Then I went online and did some more research, and found that most people were suggesting you need both a concealer AND a corrector to do this properly, with the corrector applied first.

So I'm a bit confused now, and would've rather avoided using multiple products as the other big thing about this is that I don't want anyone to know I have a bit of makeup on (which with the method I've been doing previously, I was using so little you couldn't tell). The notion of using a corrector and then a concealer, especially when I have nothing else on my face like foundation, sounds like something I could mess up. But if this is the best method, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Has anyone any suggestions for what I should actually be doing here? And how on earth I find out the right tones? Thanks!

I'm looking for opinions on the 3ina make up brand - especially their lipstick and their no rules stick. I have a fair to medium skin tone and an affinity for pinks/plum. Any testimonies?

Maybe this doesn’t exist, but technology has come a long way since my hg lip was discontinued. Any way I can find the real true colour of a lipstick ? And then match for closeness? A widget, a gizmo, a something that can read the colour, undertones and all? Help a girl out!

I've been using this mascara for a little while now and I am utterly obsessed, the colour is perfect and it really excentuates my eyes, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what this label says! My mother gave it to me after receiving it in one of her monthly beauty boxes and I would be so happy if someone can help me find out what brand it is! Thank you 🫶

Specifically Western brands and perfumes, aka Gucci and Prada… their prices are good but I have no idea if it’s a legit site or not. Trustpilot suggests it is, but who knows… Would love any reviews or thoughts!

I’ve been waiting for the MAC Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick in Sitting Pretty to come back in stock since December. I can’t find it in stock anywhere, is the shade being phased out?

Trying to get back into makeup. What can I do to improve (45f)

I recently bought an amazing liquid red lipstick from Chanel (CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE LIQUID VELVET ULTRAWEAR INTENSE MATTE LIQUID LIP COLOUR).

The colour is fantastic but I’m finding it really tricky to apply.

My usual lipstick application process is: 1.moisturise 2. remove cream from lips 3. apply concealer 4. apply neutral MAC pencil around borders 5. apply lipstick 6. blot with a tissue/setting powder (or both).

Since it's so hard to get on, I also go around my lip line with concealer after to make it look neater.

Even with these foolproof steps every time I wear it, it seems to bleed and generally comes off quite easily.

Any advice to get it to stay in place? Ideally want it to be industrial-strength stuck to my face/non smudgeable!

I'm looking for a natural 'undetectable finish' but the lightest shade of concealers and foundations l've tried seem to look blatantly off on me.

Heya I was wondering about this, its my first nars lipstick and I thought it looked a little smaller than ones I'd seen in boots. It says it is 1.5 gram, is that the normal size?

I just miss my perfect red lip. Mac lipstick is so drying and this was the most perfect brightening red on my sallow little face. Plus that doe foot applicator. The staying power. The soft formula. I’ve never found a match ! Any suggestions while I flounder in nostalgia for liquid suede?

Hi all. I’ve used Estee Lauder double wear for years. Loved it as I’m oily but lately I’m finding they don’t have a colour that’s quite right for me and it doesn’t sit well on more dry/normal patches on my face!

Recommendations please on good foundation for oily girls. Anything from light to full coverage. Finish doesn’t matter as I always powder anyway!

Ideally something mid-high end.

Already tried huda btw.

I just wanted to ask if you know any lipstick shades similar to Romand's JLT in Mulled Peach, but in a matte, satin, or velvet formula instead of glossy. Thank you!"

I love the palette so much but i'm especially loving that bright neony green colour, it's a colour i've been searching for ages (other bright greens are either not neon enough or lean too green/yellow). Unfortunately it's a cream eyeshadow and i can't use them due to my oily eyelids, if anyone has a dupe of that colour or the two others circled pleaseeeeee let me know thank you :3

Hi all, last year I became the owner of a snake and I would love to get a piece of makeup to honour her (bonus points if it matches her colours!), but I'm struggling to find anything?

I could only find MAC that look like it is to do with snakes, everyone else seems to just be red and/or gold packaging.

Any help would be appreciated x

I'm looking for a medium to full-coverage concealer that works well for dry skin and prevents creasing. Ideally, something I can use without having to powder my under eyes.

For reference, I have pretty bad dark circles and a few small dehydration wrinkles that can cause my concealer to crease. I'm currently using Hourglass Vanish Airbrush but I do notice it can crease quite easily on me. I've used Nars Radiant Creamy in the past so I'm looking for something new.

I've read through some similar posts, and a lot of people recommend the Natasha Denona concealer but that's not a brand that I want to support so I am looking for alternative suggestions.

I like the sound of the Haus concealer, but not sure if it will work for my specific needs, so if anyone has used it then I'd love to hear your experience!

I have got through three of the Hourglass Sculpture Ambient Lighting Edit Palettes and the blush is always the first to go sob

It was an exclusive shade for that palette otherwise I’d just buy a full pan. I have never found anything I like as much. It was ‘Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush in Vibrant Flush’.

It was just the perfect peachy pink bold pop. Which is the closest in the lineup? Is it at all possible Hourglass would ever add this to their range or is it in another palette somewhere. I miss it!

Hiya! The cleanser I use to take off my makeup currently is okay but could be better. I use it to take off waterproof eyeliner, eyelash glue etc, and it usually takes a few tries to get all of my makeup off, the scrubbing pulls out my eyelashes quite a bit, and leaves my eyes irritated. Can anyone recommend a cheap drugstore oily cleanser/makeup remover that is good for waterproof makeup?

So I haven’t properly worn makeup other than eyeliner wings, brows and mascara in about 5-6 years, and I really want to get back into doing makeup again! The last foundation and concealer combo I used to use was both Makeup Revolution Conceal and Define; but I noticed that it always used to crack and settle into the lines created when I smiled, in my cheeks and a little in the crease of my chin when I talked, and felt kind of heavy on the skin sometimes. I’m looking for both a foundation and a concealer (they don’t have to be the same brand) that can be medium to full coverage, not sticky or greasy and not too heavy on the skin. Matte finish or slightly dewy, or ideally somewhere between the two but not cakey or glittery - I’ve noticed some “dewy” foundations can have an almost glittery effect sometimes. I don’t mind spending a little extra if it’ll be all of these things for me! I really want to find my go-to foundation and find my real love of makeup again! I’m of pale/fair complexion and I think I have normal to combination skin.

The foundation and concealer would be the main things I’m looking for, but if you have any favourite blushers, contour, bronzer, matte lip combos, eyeshadow etc that you love I’d be more than happy to look into those too, I’m desperate to branch out and be able to use all of these! Last time I did makeup I never used bronzer or contour, just a little blush along with the foundation, concealer and eyeliner/mascara/brows. I want to turn this into a real hobby for myself and a self-care thing too, I know this has been insanely long but I’d really appreciate any advice I could be given!!

Thank you so much!
