make up brush for liquid eyeshadows

Hi - just picked up some armani eye tints - they dry quickly. I use my fingers to quickly blend but see artists on tik tok using fluffy brushes. Any recommendations?

Standalone eyeshadow for a beginner 🤣

Listen I'm all for crying freely when you feel the need but I feel like I can't ever do my eye makeup because all I ever do is mascara (not waterproof bc I can't stand taking it off anyway) so I'm looking for something I can wear for a quick easy SOMETHING?

I really like a brown glitter I have but it's a bit much sometimes, so I'm thinking something in a brown or pink that's not super expensive, but reliable? My eyes can be blue or green depending on the light and what I'm wearing.

Open to other ideas!!

Eye shadow pallette help

Hi! I'm new to trying to find makeup, like how to search for it. I have been looking for an eye shadow pallette with shades of grey from white to black, preferably with some silvery shimmers. How do I go about searching for something like that?
Most of my current makeup is from walmart/dollar tree. So all the searches I've done on Amazon are bringing up individual squares of one shade. I know it's a silly question, but I truly don't know where to start. Thank you!

Universal flattering shades for gift

I’m buying makeup for teenager for Christmas. However I don’t know her, it’s anonymous. Do you have any recommendation for shades of blush, lipstick, highlighter that would have the most chance of being flattering ? Age appropriate for a teen, so probably no browns or fire engine reds…

All I know is that this teen is most probably Inuit, so chances are her skin would tend to be medium to light, probably gold or olive undertone. But that’s very general, so I might be completely wrong.

I think pink hues? But should I go for warm or cool tone? Corals? Should I go for a highlighter with more of a golden tone?

Anything trendy for a teenager on social media right now? I’m targeting more towards Sephora’s own collection price range, not Drunk Elephant prince range…

Thanks!

Need help finding a blush that sticks

Im 37 with dry skin and don’t wear makeup often. When I do, it’s minimal.. concealer for my dark circles and any obvious blemishes I might have, fill in my eyebrows, mascara, and blush. I don’t wear foundation because I like my skin and don’t want to cover it up.. however, if absolutely necessary I would be open to a tinted moisturizer (I do use moisturizer regularly.)

I like cream blush because it looks like a natural flush, blends nicely, and has buildable coverage (I try to make myself look as natural as possible… just slightly enhanced if that makes sense.) I’ve noticed that the blush doesn’t last on my skin more than a couple of hours.

Is there a blush you recommend that will stick to bare skin, is buildable,and blends easily to look like a natural flush?

Why does natural/clean girl makeup make my face look odd?

So, maybe I'll add a photo of myself if it's necessary, but hopefully an explanation just works. So, recently I've been experimenting with different makeup styles and many people have been telling me to try clean girl/natural/no makeup makeup looks as I apparently have a very "soft" look to my face. I've attempted them a few times however every time they distort my appearance or make my face look extremely unbalanced (say my eyes look empty and unbalanced compared to everything else and adding more would just make it not qualify as natural anymore) Any ideas of what may be wrong?

Wanting to try something new!

So I’ve been wanting to get into makeup lately more than I typically would. But I don’t want to do full coverage. I just don’t really know where to start as I only really do my eyes(no lashes),light blush and light makeup tinted lips(or full on black lipstick due to clothes I wear),I want it to be simple but absolutely worth the price. I’m a bit worried as I don’t exactly know what order I should do things in or if I’m able to skip a step once I start doing more.

I would like to start using a cushion foundation with light coverage that doesn’t make me look matte OR too moist,I would like a good middle. Does that mean I should contour as well or would it make a big difference? Do I use powder after or does it make a huge difference? How do I figure out my shade especially for international purchases?

I feel like I can learn from a video but I think having it all in writing written as simple could help me out. Thank you so much! Any help or tips would be amazing!

Patchy/dry makeup?

I have been getting these patchy dry areas on my face when I have make up on. I hydrate pretty well, face doesn't appear dry when clean and have been using the same combination of make up for a while. Any tips or thoughts on why this is happening? I should also say it doesn't look like this when I put it on, it seems to do this about halfway through the day. I also use a setting spray. Just pretty frustrated!

Best products for SUPER sensitive skin?

I am allergic to chemical sunscreen, so that rules out a ton of foundations for me. I'm also sensitive generally. Forget fake lashes (love the look! Can't use the adhesive), I'm lucky to find an eyeliner and mascara that doesn't make me all red and puffy (not what we're going for here!).

What do you ultra sensitive people use? I've tried bare minerals and Jane Iredale and I still react to a lot of products, especially eye and completion things.

Ideas?

Question: Beauty Blender Stain?

This is a pic of my clean beauty blender. I am very serious about cleaning it and actually clean it after I do my makeup every time (my makeup routine isn’t done until the beauty blender is clean lol). But these couple stains always remain. Is this normal or is it time for a new one? Thanks!

Saei Bronzer

I don’t know which Saei bronzer shade would work best for me. It’s one of the fair toned ones and my color shades have said i’m cool toned but it looks so dark.My veins are purple and blue on my wrist pretty prominent. So should I get 1- Sand or 2- Salt?

New Sponge, odd color

I used a cream concealer that I always use. A day or two later these darker colors showed up.

Could this be bacteria? Or just a lot if cream on that particular spot?

I have never EVER been able to look good with any makeup look. My face is just strange and no makeup look I like goes well with it 😭 I don’t even know what face shape I have or how to find makeup that suits me. I’ve always liked alt makeup and stuff, but I just don’t think it suits me. Any help? On like… anything??
