Been using this to contour but I would love to find a drugstore dupe to save some $$! I also find it a little drying. Also - anybody know of a good liquid bronzer or bronzer stick? I’m currently using Rare Beauty in shade Happy Sol. TIA!! 🤗 Happy Holidays Drugstore MUA fam 💝

Hi! I am looking for a lightweight foundation and moisturizing primer. My skin leans dry and with the drier weather, my current combo is just not working. I think it might be the hyaluronic acid in my products so I'd like to try something without that. I have sensory issues with full coverage foundations so aiming for light coverage. My skin is sensitive and hates vitamin c. I'm also over 40 so I have some fine lines. My skin tone is fair to light and neutral leaning cool.

I have tried:

*L'oreal Serum Foundation (currently using) - I like this but lately it's been clinging to my dry patches.

*Neutrogena Hydroboost (formerly used) - liked this a lot but hate the applicator.

*Colourpop Pretty Fresh primer (currently using) - feels moisturizing but doesn't provide a lot of grip.

*Colourpop Pretty Fresh foundation - terrible. Pills and clings to my dry patches.

*L'oreal True Match Lumi and regular - Lumi was my former favorite, and the regular True Match was before that. These both provide a little heavier of coverage than I like. I used to use the Lumi primer as well but I think it might have been discontinued.

*Maybelline Fit Me - oxidized terribly.

I was looking at Wet n Wild primers (Prime Focus Hydrating Primer and Photo Focus Primer Water) as well as Covergirl Clean Fresh Skin Milk dewy and Elf Satin Soft Glam for foundation.

Can anyone comment on these options? Or have another recommendation?

hey guys, i bought a wet and wild silk finish lipstick from my local drugstore today and i feel like it smells really strange. it straight up smells like a crayon with like, a little bit of mintiness or something? i want to know if it just has that kind of smell or if it’s gone bad. it was wrapped in plastic and everything so i don’t think it’s been opened, but who knows how old it is… and it’s shade 536A dark wine, if that matters. but basically i’m just curious if anyone has experienced anything similar with this product.

Hello! This is a question specifically meant for anyone who's knowledgeable about the differences between brands/products available in the US versus the Netherlands!

My friend is going to the US, and I'm over here in the Netherlands. What are products that you would recommend to buy from the US? Products that aren't available in Europe, or the Netherlands, or outside of the US in general? Or products that are way, WAY cheaper in the US? What product would you give to your Dutch friend, if they ever asked you for a product?

Also, just to try it here as well: is anyone in possession of a new Fade Into Hue palette from ColourPop? It's out of stock since my friend could order it (because he cannot order it without being there obviously), but I've been dreaming about it for years and I really want one! Is anyone willing to sell me theirs? Maybe you bought it on Black Friday, for example, and haven't opened it yet.. I'll pay you the full price so you can just order a new one when it's back in stock! I don't have the option to buy it when it's finally back in stock.. Please, if you, or anyone you know, is willing to let me buy your/their palette, I'd be forever grateful. (Or does anyone have any tips how/where I could get the palette..?)

Edited to add: I am mostly looking for products like eyeshadow, blush, highlighters, eyeliner, longwear lipsticks (big fan of the matte and shiny ones from Maybelline), lipliners, mascara... special eyeshadows (like duochromes, or special colors, or awesome palettes) and special lipproducts (like fun colours) are pretty much my favorite items! I also adore blushes, can't go wrong with those! Also, base products like concealers and foundations (especially buildable ones) are always useful. Lastly, products that start and end my routine, like primers, eye primers(!!!), and setting powders, those can never clog my makeup bags too much!

I just want a decent black eyeliner that won’t smear & end up on like, my brow bone thingy. I don’t know words for things lol. I prefer the kind I have pictured (like a roll-up pencil sort of situation, whatever that’s called) but a pencil will also do. And if I can grab it at the drugstore that’s a bonus.

It don’t have to be fantastic or perfect- just good enough AND NOT TRANSFER TO MY MAKEUP ABOVE MY EYE DANG IT

I love huda beauty’s setting powder, but cannot bring myself to buy it for £32 everytime it runs out!!! Is there any dupe?? Ty alot

So I bought the Elf Skin Sunscreen thing the other day and I used it yesterday, I wake up and my skin is fully red and I broke out so bad. I have very clear skin but also sensitive and this has to be the worse reaction I’ve like ever had, so if you are sensitive skin girly like me I don’t really recommend this product 😭😭

I’m a bright spring if you’re familiar with color analysis. My skin is bright and pale and everything I have tried makes my skin look dull and lifeless.

I need mascara that adds length and goes on cleanly without getting too clumpy. As I get older, my lashes seem shorter, and with the wrong mascara, they just look short and weird.

I've been lurking in this sub for a while and this Concealer seems to well loved...I'm thinking of buying this but a bit confused among the shades Tan, Medium and Camel..

If somone has these shades please comment. For reference I'm, Medium Deep in La Girl BB Cream Toffe in LA Girl Pro Conceal And Toffee in Maybelline Fit Me Matte.

I have warm Undertones but prefer somewhat neutral matches.

Also does this oxisidise a lot?

Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops Dewy Skin Tint - nice product - glowy and dewy look for me - but pricey $$. Suggestions for drugstore replacement?

I have panda eyes and I have never found a really good concealer. Can someone recommend a quite affordable option?

Do you think it pulls too cool on neutral olive skin? Curious to see swatches

i've seen bloody lip stains and stuff but i was just looking for a gloss preferably on the sheer-medium side of color with a burgundy (deep red with purple undertone) that looks bloodish? <3

Title says it. Can you guys olease recommend a drugstore (I'm quite poor) liquid lipstick that has a smooth balm like finish and not too dry and matter. Thank you 💓

Specifically in sleepy girl, piggy, toasted teddy

Ok, so, I'm not sure exactly how to say what I'm looking for... satiny? Shimmery? Just like a nude colored eyeshadow with a little dimension to it that will make my lids look nice without being glittery. Any suggestions?

Looking for a COOL TONED pink highlighter similar to the shade in the Dior pallet. I love the tone of it and mainly just looking to see if there’s a makeup brand that just sells a single shade highlighter similar to this shade.

What is the best tubing mascara? Are any waterproof? Also, how do you know which mascaras are tubing? They don’t say so on the label.

Does anyone know why Maybelline discontinued some of their vinyl lipstick colors?! It is my favorite lipstick formula that lasts all day! Awestruck was my favorite and was planning on replacing my old one to wear on my wedding day! Extra was also one I was considering for my wedding day. Does anyone know any good alternatives for these colors?!

Did they stop allowing you customize your own palette? I can’t find it anymore
