Hi Guys! I would like to know your opinion. Is this Charlotte Tilbury bronzer refill fake or real??

Have dry lips so decided to get a lip balm . Wanted something mild. I've never bought any lip balm before so just wanted to know if its good for keeping the dryness away and prevent chapping

Hello! I’m getting married in France in 2 weeks time ahhh (I’m from London) and I had my trial with a local french MUA who is lovely and very open to feedback and guidance from me, except I am fairly inexperienced with explaining how I like my makeup (and how I ended up asking for something I don’t like in the first place!)

Perhaps the language barrier made me less confident in explaining how I wanted it done. Her English is very good, but I am such a pleaser and left it up to her to just do what she thought was best. I wonder if there’s some specific French MUA terms which might help me on the day?

I’ve posted a few pictures of my face, 1 + 2 are of me and how I usually do my makeup, very hydrated and natural. I wear serums, very light cream foundation, lots of moisturiser, bronzer and blush, and usually brown eyeliner and mascara.

I do like a bold lip and individual lashes (not too long) and would consider a small black wing to make my eyes stand out.

Makeup tends to stay well on my face, even in the heat.

I didn’t love my trial, it felt very heavy and matte and didn’t let my skin glow through. You can see my trial photos in various lights and times of the day in 3, 4, 5 and 6! I really dislike contour and lots of layers of powder on my face, and I really don’t like lots of highlighter either.

I understand an element of powder/concealer is necessary for photos but for me, the most important thing is feeling my best so then I am actually happy and present on the day!

What I really want is me, but elevated. Hydrated sun kissed, warm and blushy. With my eyes accentuated but not with lots of eyeshadow or concealer.

Can you please recommend some phrases that I need to use to explain what I want? I’m very open to suggestions on what you think would work for my face too!

Thank you ever so much, I just want to go in feeling confident and to look and feel my best! 💖

EDIT: I have booked to go to a MAC counter for a 60 min session next week to ask them to do my full face, and if I love that I’ll take pictures to bring for my wedding day the following week!

Hi all, there was this blush that I used to absolutely love and wear everyday but has sadly been discontinued years ago (Makeup Revolution "Treat"). I want to make a new attempt at finding another blush with the same shade (pictured). I think it's rosy but with a hint of warmth, not super pigmented. When I look at other blushes I usually see no in-between, either pink or super bright peach. I don't mind spending a bit for a close match. Any tips welcome!

I bought a Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer Palette in 004 Rose Gold Glow on Whatnot. Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer 004 Rose Gold Glow at Douglas
After opening it, I was honestly pretty shocked. The palette smells strongly like children’s makeup — definitely not what I would expect from a Dior product.
On top of that, the shades have almost no color payoff whatsoever. Even when applying them with my finger, barely any product shows up on the skin.
I also noticed that the packaging and overall quality/finish feel a bit strange to me. It just doesn’t seem as high-quality as I would expect from Dior.
Now I’m wondering: Is this actually normal for this palette, or could I have received a fake/counterfeit product through Whatnot?
Has anyone here bought the 004 Rose Gold Glowand can tell me what yours is like? Especially regarding the smell, pigmentation, and packaging quality.
I’d really appreciate any experiences or comparisons with a palette bought directly from Dior or an authorized retailer!

This was my first full make up trial for my wedding next April. I feel like this combo works for my very oily skin but isn't very high coverage.

My biggest issue is that my acne marks show through and the foundation splits if I apply it any thicker. The last picture is the make up after a days wear and a gym session, I think I added to my eyes at some point during the day too, not sure I like them that dark.

I like it but I'm thinking I can probably do a bit more bronze. I'm also really stuck on my lip colour, should it be more corally or should my blush be more pink?

I'm also trialling my hair, I much prefer it down but that explains the difference in pictures. I'll also cut my fringe shorter for the wedding.

I’m 35 and I’ve never really worked out how to do good makeup on my deepset and non-symmetrical eyes - can anyone help?

I find:

- winged eyeliner suits me but smudges in the crease at the corner of my eye
- I have big eyelids but colour is hidden by my browbone
- I wear concealer to cover my natural dark circles, but it cracks and creases when I smile and never fully covers them
-one eyelid is much more “tall”/puffy than the other which makes makeup tricky to get right on both

(Excuse the messy brows! I’ve been working too much and they’ve escaped attention!)

I want to try this foundation on my dry sensitive clog prone skin! Any heavy skin tints or foundations made me broke out (ciele, haus labs, L’Oréal serum tint) and I want to try this one and saw so many good reviews ! Has anyone tried it? Thanks x

Btw I’m not sensitive to fragrance
