Mine is the original Tarte Shape Tape. I used it for months because everyone agreed it gave complete and full coverage. One day I was in a rush and forget to apply it. When I looked at myself in the car mirror I realized two things:

1 - My undereyes were darker than usual because I forgot the concealer

2 - My undereyes looked a thousand times better. Yes they were darker but they looked healthy, the skin didn't look dry/patchy, there wasn't a gray undertone, and overall I looked more fresh.

Now I heavily prioritize light to medium concealers with really dewy formulations. The amount of heavy product I need for "light" undereyes always makes me look crazy in natural lighting and looks worse throughout the day.

This is a sneak peak for next Monday and in the video the concealer is hinted to be changed? They just released it in a mini so I feel like it'd be weird to reformulate right after that launch?

I hope it's just the packaging...

Hi!

So, I have a bunch of brushes, most of them from colourpop, bh cosmetics and real techniques. I am not a makeup artist, I just really like makeup, and even though I don’t really have “techniques”, I’m happy with my makeup evolution. Sometimes i even help my friends for special events.

My mom recently got me some MAC brushes, and I could immediately tell the difference in quality!!! Blending is a lot easier and, for instance, my eyeshadows have a more effortless look. However, I’ve noticed that the ones I got make my eyeshadow look very “diffused” and they won’t really work for more of an impactful look (I don’t know if I’m making myself clear. English is my second language and sometimes words fail me).

Do you think “pro” makeup brushes really make a difference? If so, which brand would you recommend?

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.

Could be about products, trends, techniques, etc. Ask! Answer!

Hi :)

So I was attempting to dress to impress for dinner last night and I did what I thought was a flawless foundatin and blush application. Was feeling myself until I went to the bathroom midway through and uh yeah... my flawless face was cake face. Also my blush had disappeared so I was a pale powdery ghost with smoky eyes. I was like great I just took more than an hour to look worse than I do with nothing on!!

I usually do my makeup at home in the day because the lighting in my apartment isn't great, but this time it was getting dark when I was getting ready.

What would be the most reliable artificial lighting for makeup application next time I'm getting ready after dark? Do I get one of those mirrors with lights? Or use fancy bulbs in my bathroom? Or something else?

I was wondering if people were interested in a slack group or a discord server for more dynamic discourse or conversations. (Maybe stuff like last minute makeup help?)

I don’t know if it exists already but if there was one, how would you structure or design the server?

Let's do cream vs powder vs baked highlighters.

I've been using the AOA Studio Halo highlighter mostly, and I like the Flesh Beauty highlighter for a cream stick highlight. For just powder, I used OFRA's highlighter in Star Island on my inner corners a few days ago. What about ya'll?

Edit: I also use MegaGlo highlighter by wet n wild, and it's a really cool almost wet-feeling formula. I use it on only my inner corners because it's so glittery and shiny. The only annoying thing about it is the actual highlighter is completely unattached to the metal bottom, so I have to hold it flat so it doesn't jump out of the pan.

Hi :)

Does anyone here often have a problem with pairing their makeup to the outfit? I'm mostly inspired by colorful makeup from brands like kaleidos, melt cosmetics, or half magic beauty.

However, my fashion style leans quite neutral and feminine ( think Reformation, Love Bonito, or Mango). Sometimes when I create a bold eye look (grunge smoky eyes), it doesn't quite match with my ruffled crop top, linen pants and mary jane flats kind of look for the day. I then end up adjusting my makeup to make it understated, like using a colored liner and a sheer wash of sparkly shadow.

But at the end of the day, I just want to add more colors, you know? It's also harder to curate an entire closet than a makeup collection. Anyway, hope to hear your thoughts! And if you have any fashion inspoa I can check on Ig or tiktok that's not too edgy or gothic. Also some brands. Thank you!
