Old me would never. New me? Well.. 👀

What makeup or makeup tips have you completely changed your mind on?

  • I used to be a brown eyeliner hater. I thought it was pointless! I do it now because black eyeliner can be a little harsh for everyday makeup
  • I used to be a full makeup or no makeup kind of girlie. I've been practicing a quick 10 min look and it has made me fall back in love with makeup because I'm actually using my products

Keeping It Real

After an excellent recent post from /u/5Gs-Plz , you guys wanted to have a regular space for, as the OP put it, maintaining a sense of realism about makeup. In their post they asked:

We never see end of day photos of makeup and it is very difficult to feel positive about how makeup breaks down during the course of a day. I was thinking maybe we could dedicate this post to photographs of how our makeup looks at the end of a long day? I would be curious to see how it wears.

Does your mascara flake? Does your foundation disappear around your nose? Or does your eyeliner smudge?

You can certainly share photos and talk about your end of day faces, and it'd also be cool to talk about other aspects of cosmetics and beauty in general that we don't see/hear a lot about, which is when things aren't perfect.

Talc-Free Eyeshadows (need Makeup Geek replacement)

Pretty much what it says: I used to use Makeup Geek eyeshadows and blush. Just went to order some more only to learn they've been out of business a while now (I know, I know, it's been forever but I pretty much stopped wearing makeup during Covid and never got back into it until now). Not sure what to try next, I just know I can't use anything with Talc and I also can't use Bare Minerals...both give me bad dermatitis on my lids. I don't need a palette, singles are fine. Talc-free, nude shades. What should I try?

How many hair styling tools do brands think we need??

Not just hair styling tools though... I see brushes and different types of beauty tools that keep releasing in new colors, limited edition prints/designs, etc. These are items that a person needs ONE of, maybe two if it's a brush used for specific reasons, but seriously, I am so confused why Dyson especially keeps releasing new colorways for tools that are already on the market? Do they actually expect existing users to buy a second or third of a $400+ tool? Are they JUST trying to get new business? I feel like it's such a waste of materials for companies to release these items, there is so much over consumption which is obvious, but it's one thing to buy multiple lip products which are different colors/textures/etc, and another thing to buy a tool which has one purpose and any other versions give the exact same result. WHY!!!
