Review products, rant and rave, ask for and give advice - go where your soul takes you!

Welcome to our alliterative and regularly reoccurring thread for discussing all things skincare!

Suggestions for relevant and educational activities:

• Venting about a trend in one of the skincare subs.
• Sharing research or information on products or ingredients.
• Asking for or giving advice on products, routines, or non medical skin issues.
• Ranting and raving about skincare items you've been experimenting with.
• Shouting "Fuck this" or "Hallelujah" about the current state of your skin.

Don't forget to share any relevant info about your skin type if you're sharing your experiences with a product, and if you're asking for advice or recommendations please include your budget and general location so we can give you better help.

Finally a place for all those product-related threads! Need a new full-coverage foundation? Can't find a mascara that doesn't give you raccoon eyes? Ask for product reccs here!

Looking for recommendations for indie brands that offer single shadows that are stunning on their own. Particularly I'm in love with "wet look" shadows but am interested in any indie brands with high quality shadows.

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!

Mostly when I read reviews of multichromes they’re focused on the shift. I don’t necessarily need the highest impact shades, but what I would really like to find is multichrome single shadows that are finely milled, like a soft pearl finish. I have some fun shades but I find the glitter sort of flaky and even chalky in the wrong lighting. If you’ve tried different brands, do you have a favorite one for texture/finish?

I am curious the difference between these techniques. From everything I read they seem the same, just given different names. Would love to learn more! 🙂

I am someone who has been diagnosed with dyspraxia and so sometimes I have trouble understanding people and what they really mean. I’m very into makeup, I love doing classic and neutral looks and have been very into makeup and the makeup community for the last ten years.

Sometimes when I go out, I will have random people comment on my appearance with comments such as, “you’re very pretty, you look beautiful.” I actually really appreciate comments such as these and I try to show my gratitude without appearing awkward. I am a little insecure because in highschool I was considered quite unattractive and bullied a little as well.

The other day I was at the mall, and two separate women at different times came up to me and said “I love your makeup, you look so pretty.” I’m not going to lie, I felt grateful but I was also a little confused. Are these ladies saying that I look pretty only because of my makeup? Does my makeup look too heavy and stands out a little too much in a mall setting? How would you interpret this? Do you feel flattered when someone compliments your makeup and not your appearance? What are you thinking when you compliment someone on their makeup? What do you think these women meant?

I know this seems like a very shallow topic, and I apologize. I don’t mean to seem vapid or silly.

Everyone I have used has ruined my lip liners. I'm sick of it! Which do you recommend??

Hi :)

Thinking of splurging on a new product but not sure how it performs? Having trouble finding reliable reviews on Youtube?

Ask others who may have the product to write a quick review for you!

If you'd like to provide a review, please reply to the requester's comment with your thoughts!

Just the above questions. Looking to try more shades. I really want to hear what people like about the products and what is so special to you about them. Even if you don't own anything from them, what would you like to try from the brand Sydney Grace. From a person who loves color that God made and I'm wanting to expand and hear other people's opinions.

What was your makeup collection/ routine before Beauty YouTube/ social media became a thing. Before you could easily shop from your couch. Did it change a lot since then?

What products are you guys finding that are no fuss and require little time to reliably get right?

Also- what tools can help out your any day products to apply better, consistently, and quickly?

Lately I find that I’m so burnt out from work that I’ve totally stopped wearing makeup most days. If it requires more than a few seconds to apply, I’m not about it right now.

I really like the Mac glow play blushes because they’re build able and have a nice finish that seems to work with anything underneath. Also a fan of the fenty eaze drop sticks because it feels impossible to accidentally overdo and blends out pretty well on my dry skin. I also love the elf putty bronzer brush because it’s compact and I can really control where my cream bronzer is going, but it’s also angled and blends everything out very quickly.

Genuine question. I have ADHD, health issues are keeping me at home a lot atm, and I have a lot of difficult feelings about life right now. Oh, and I've spent most of my adult life dealing with difficult feelings through shopping, only stopped in the last few years.

I need all the hot tips I can get 😅

Something sensible that I do like to do during sales is stock up on unsexy mainstays in my routine - for example, I've been using the same moisturiser / sunscreen / cleanser for years, and this is when they're the most heavily discounted, so I buy several tubes then.

It's easy to get caught out doing this if you find another favourite product, so you do have to be pretty confident about these products, and not buy a stupid amount in case you stumble across a new favourite.

Both the Radiant Lifting and the OG Synchro Skin have been out of stock on Shiseido’s website and only a few shades left (mostly darker) are going on sale on every retailer possible. WTF IS THIS SPEED OF RELEASING AND DISCONTINUING??? First it was NARS, MUFE and now even Shiseido. And these are never “boring” brands on the first place. Just classic high-quality artistic brands with well-thought out releases and tried-and-true cult favorite staples that are (or should I say were 🥲) here to stay. I blame TikTok for this phenomenon.

Edit: Ok someone just said they only reformulated so yay! But whew I don’t need anymore scares after MUFE axing the Reboot Foundation

Hi! I recently got Space Cowboy and Colourpop Glass Bull, and I am OBSESSED with both. They are both so, so beautiful. I love wearing them both on their own. I'm a high school teacher, and I've been wearing them both to work since I've gotten them. But I'm trying to separate my teacher persona from my real self, and I feel like the beautiful, slightly darker duochromes are more for my true/weekend self. Are there any white, very light silver or gold/champagne/whatever single shadows that fit the bill of being gorgeous and the reflective, but a little more subtle? White or very light white gold or silver would be my preference. Just a subtle beautiful shimmer.

As an aside, it has been really hard to make the shift into wearing more natural (comparatively to my preferred makeup) makeup for work. Today I'm wearing Space Cowboy with thick winged liner and inner corner wings along with a full matte face with all the works and brown lips. I love it, I feel so me - but I'm not doing that for work, sadly.
