Thin under eye coverage

I have thin under eyes where you can see my veins (blue). Any concealer I’ve used will work for about an hour before it’s gone again and makes me look tired again. I tried setting powders and settings sprays, but it will still wear away within an hour. Im pretty pale

Fake blood fix?

So I have a quick question for all my sfx makeup lovers out there, I bought some fake blood gel from spirit halloween but when I went to practice my Halloween look the "gel" was watery no where even near a gel consistency! I was wondering if there's a way to thicken it up because halloweens tomorrow and I don't have time to run out and buy a new thing of fake blood Any suggestions?

please help finding lash dupe

hello this is my first time posting on reddit so im new and dont rlly know how to do this but im trying to find similar lashes if not the same exact kind that i can buy in bulk. i usually get bulks off amazon but i had got this pair from EYEVOS for free when i bought some contacts and ngl they are a bit out of my price range for one singular pair of lashes so thats why im trying to find something similar in bulk that would be worth the price. ofc if i cannot find anything i will end up js buying them from there if it rlly came down to it but i thought why not give this a shot first since I know the internet can do wonders lol. I would really appreciate it if you have any recommendations because i lost my only pair and am literally suffering without them</3. oh and if this is any help they are the “5D FALSE EYELASHES” style: fluffed barbie by EYEVOS.

MAC Costa Riche vs Teddy eyeliner?

Hi!

I have brown eyes- I wanted to use these eyeliners to make them shine. I was wondering if anybody else had used these eyeliners- would be grateful to know what the difference is- even better if you have swatches!

Also, how are these eyeliners meant to be used? I’ve heard that they aren’t great on the waterline- they’re used to smudge. Is that true?

Opinions please

Not sure if this fits me or not. I've always wanted to look s little bit more shaded, am I going about it the right way? I think not putting orange on the tip of my nose helps. Being pale had ruined me but I'm trying.

Lipstick that stays?

I am looking for a tried and true, first hand experience of a lipstick or stain or SOMETHING that stays put. I'm ttalking through dinner, through drinks, through the cute and through the sloppy - if you catch my drift. I'm tired of reapplying, straight up misses, flakey stuff after a couple hours. I want a dang near permanent lipstick.

Hit me with it.

How to “boyfriend proof” my makeup?

My boyfriend has a beard and likes to kiss ALL OVER my face. Naturally within ten minutes of hanging out with him I’m practically bare faced. I’ve given up any hope of lip liner and gloss staying on but the foundation part is killing me. Any products or tips to prevent this?

Can people with cool undertones wear bronzer?

So I have cool-pink undertones and iv heard a reddish bronzer can look really natural on cool undertones, is this true? Because most bronzers look either extremely orange or it just looks like contour. If you reddish bronzer doesn’t work well, do you have any tips?

How do I improve?

Not the best of makeup but I’m still learning what suits me and all. I struggle with hyperpigmentation and I’ve been told I look like a guy a lot so any tips on how to look more “feminine”? I have no idea where to place blush!

Need a cheaper alternative

What’s a cheaper alternative for the Lancôme tient 24h wear in the shade 095 ivory? It’s a lil pricey now for me to buy and I’d love to just pick up a shade really close to it at Walgreens without the hassle of having to exactly color match myself.

Chickenpox and makeup

So I am currently recovering from chickenpox (Day 11 and all the lesions had dried over). I am wondering if I should throw out all the makeup products I used two days prior my first chickenpox lesion appeared. My doctor said there's no need to do so, but it's better safe than sorry. Do I have to throw out all of them or can I atleast just disinfect my eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks? Also may i ask if it's fine that I'm using miscellar water on my face? My face had been gross the first few days of my infection, full of sebaceous filaments, so now that it had dried over I thought it would be fine for me to use one. Should i stop? Is it harmful? When can i start applying Petroleum jelly on the lesions? Thank you for anyone who can answer.

Invisable lip liner use?

So I had a strange idea, but don't know if anyone has tried to use an invisable lip pencil ontop of a stain like a sealer?

I've tried sealers and haven't had much luck and even long wearing stains don't last as long.

I'm thinking as invisible liners are waxy and stop bleeding/budging this might create a seal.

Does anyone have any recs for creamy and waxy invisible liners that last a long time? Preferably budge proof. Thanks :-)

Urban Decay’s “Vice Lip Bond” truly lasted ALL DAY

I am always on the hunt for a good long-lasting lipstick that I don’t have to reapply at work. Some last longer than others but nothing has literally lasted all day. UNTIL NOW.

Yesterday at 8am I applied UD’s Vice Lip Bond Glossy Longwear Liquid Lipstick in the shade OG Backtalk. I then proceeded to have one of the most chaotic high-stress workdays of my entire life. I barely had time to eat my lunch and there was definitely no time to touch up my makeup afterwards.

At 4:30 pm I looked in the mirror and was astonished by what I saw. My lipstick looked absolutely flawless. I mean it literally looked as if I’d JUST applied it. It wasn’t even matte, it still had the same faint glossy sheen that it had when I applied it at 8am.

By the time I removed my makeup at 11 pm, even though it didn’t look quite as fresh and perfect anymore, the color hadn’t faded at all and it still looked great.

I feel it’s my duty to spread the word about this miraculous product. How is this even possible??
