hey y'all, how do i tell if my kosas concealer is moldy? i've only had it not even 3 months and recently it's started giving me a rly bad rash/swelling under my eyes. as soon as i stopped using the concealer the rash went away, and came back when i started using it again. i read online that they're apparently known to get moldy but mine doesn't have a smell or black marks or anything. i've been using it for all 3 months and never had any skin issues until now so ik i'm not just allergic.

Years ago I bought a loose powder coral blush from an indie makeup shop on Etsy that no longer exists. I had forgotten about it, but pulled it out today and was once again stunned by how gorgeous it wears -- it really looks like a natural flush on me, and it looks quite shimmery in the pan (I pressed it myself awhile back) but the shimmer must be super fine because it doesn't look obvious on the face, just naturally glowy.

Anyway, I'm looking for a pressed powder that behaves the same. Here's the original marketing photo (sorry it looks blurry when it's big, it's just a thumbnail from my purchase receipt). Any recommendations? I know blush is big now, but I haven't had to buy it in years so I need help!

I am looking for an actual burgundy. Like it looks burgundy on the eyes and does not smudge. I have dark eyelashes and every burgundy mascara I use even with primer comes out looking black, maybe I’m just not using the right ones. Thank you!

Soooo...I have a bunch of old makeup - about 5+ yrs old - a mix of cream and powder products. I already have a substantial makeup collection with new products, but I'm having a hard time deciding if it's best to throw out ALL my old makeup products or throw away just the old cream products and keep the powder ones. I'm oddly just having a hard time thinking about letting the old stuff go, but if it has to happen, it has to happen.

What do you guys think I should do?

(Sorry if this doesn't belong here)

I really like my base but i have combination skin :( I'm trying to find a product that'll blot the oil out so I can reapply powder less. I'm wearing Nars foundation, born this way concealer, and Laura mecier bout powder. Any suggestions? I'm open to general makeup tips as well 🫶🏾

I feel like Ive always have the same old, same old hair and makeup. Dark hair, lashes and clear gloss. I and am looking to try something new, especially for winter time. Any suggestions? :)

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays 🎄😁

From what I've been told by social media. Warm undertone = Yellow Neutral = Orange/Beige Cool = Pink Olive= Green

However I've been having trouble because my fair skin has a yellow undertone, but I suit more cool-toned things. Silver, cooler colours, and whenever I try to suit myself to warmer toned colors and warm toned recommendations I look terrible. Not to mention I look more like a hospital patient yellow than a vibrant summer yellow. My liver is also fine I just have a yellowish hue.

I have blue/purple veins and darkish brown hair with brown eyes if that affects anything.

Is there such thing as a cool-yellow undertone? Or have I just got something wrong/mixed up?

Looking to get a new high end primer. Have been using the Lancome La Base Pro Primer for years, but due to having makeup ADHD, I think it’s time to change it up for absolutely no reason. Does anybody have any opinions on the Tatcha Liquid Skin Canvas, Hourglass (any) primers, or Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating primer?

For reference, my foundation rotation currently consists of the Armani Luminous Silk, Shiseido Synchro Skin, and kbeauty cushions.

Also, in case anyone is interested, the Lancôme primer is great. Super smoothing and glides on well. Somewhat comedogenic, but fine if you’re not using on a daily basis and really thorough on removal. Highly recommend if you’re using the Lancôme Teint Idol foundation that goes with it since the foundation is a bit drying. Biggest annoyance was the bottle. Once you get to the bottom, it’s super hard to get the remaining product even though there’s still stuff in there.

Also happy to hear any other recommendations (low or high end)!

Hello friends! I graduate nursing school the first week of March and our graduation headshots are coming up soon. With professional photos I usually go for an old money, easy, timeless look but i’d like to try incorporating vampy into it. I’m open to any and all ideas! Lately I’ve been playing with purples and grey-beige (pic for reference) but i’m open to going the deep black and burgundy route also

++ suggestions for good primers to use with the Fenty Foundation stick! Its my favorite foundation but i’ve been struggling with it lately 😭

basically title!

would love everyone’s recommendations for a creamy long wear lipstick. minimal smudging, doesn’t dry down matte (recently tried soft matte and didn’t love it), feels nice all night long.

bonus points if you’d consider it kiss proof. bonus bonus points if it’s a drug store brand! but it doesn’t have to be. please — give me your holy grails!!

Any suggestions for a lip product that has the same color as the lipstick in this photo? (The color in the center of the lip)

The account who posted this tagged ABH but I am not sure. I would love to try this look.

I know there are a lot of color dupes out there, but I'm curious about formula dupes? I really miss using Makeup Geek shadows as eyeliner (zero fallout, stays exactly where i place it with an angled brush bc its not powdery), but haven't found any shadows that do the trick.

What are some formula dupes you know of? it doesn't have to be MUG related.

for me, TheBalm's matte huges liquid lip is quite close to the old KVD everlasting lip formula!

Hi guys. I recently discovered this lipstick from Prada (Prada Monochrome Hyper Matte lipstick) in the shade notte p56. The shades amazing but it's not very long lasting. I don't want to spend like 40 pounds on a lipstick that won't even last. Can I find a dupe for this shade? Thanks in advance
