I feel like some products are popular just because everyone else recommends them. What product would you personally never buy again?

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for the best concealer overall, regardless of brand or price.

I'm currently considering Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage, Armani Luminous Silk, and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer.

My skin is combination and dehydrated (red and dry in some areas but oily in others), eczema-prone, very sensitive, and extremely acne-prone.

What concealer would you recommend for my skin type? I'm open to any suggestions! ❤️

I thought I was gonna get insane looks but I got a lot of comments from people saying wow you look so cool . I see a lot of people say they save the experimenting for when they are home alone . Life is short ! Go to the grocery store in full goth makeup . Go in peacock colored eyeshadow . Neon pink lipstick . Put on all the makeup and all the colors

Ok, a pretty basic and probably dumb question, but: those of you who use setting spray, do you put it on before powder or after powder? Putting it on before powder seems weird to me, but I’ve seen videos that say that’s how you should do it.

… without ruining your makeup?

I sometimes have managed with just a q-tip lol but obvs this can only really clear the bottom of the nose hole and if you’re real sniffy like I am rn it wouldn’t last long. I also don’t tend to carry q-tips around with me (though maybe I should…).

When at home I sometimes will legit blow my nose directly into my hands (I know — ew— it’s to spare my sensitive skin from paper 😆) and then wash them and gently rinse my face lmao. But I’ve never tried this with makeup on (don’t wear makeup often bc I always tend to mess it up somehow 👀), only with sunscreen which I’ll still then reapply after. And I wouldn’t do this when out and about.

Is there some magical technique to actually blow one’s nose in paper without messing up foundation etc?? Or some magical setting spray or powder which genuinely makes the products paper proof??

I am curious to hear your thoughts & experiences ❣️ thank you.

Happy flu season 😪😪😪

(Btw I am not actually sick anymore or I wouldn’t go out wearing makeup, I’ve just still got the sniffles a week after recovering 😭 I also work as a bike courier so in the cold season my eyes and nose are still very runny a lot of the time regardless of my health ugh)

I no longer wear make up so I don't know what's in and out.

I've always liked the rimmed waterline look. Every time I've tried, it always been a fail. I've tried kajal, and different brands that claim to be waterproof. These were older products and I don't remember the product names.

I'm hoping there is finally something on the market.

Or Am i going crazy? I remember one time finding a subreddit that was dedicated to posting pics of your just opened make up products, could be anything. Eyeshadow pallets , lipstick, blush , anything. You open it for the first time, take a pic. Post it there. But ive been looking for it here for the past 30 minutes and i cant find it. Does anyone know it?? Is it gone maybe? Or am i finally loosing my mind in this economic crisis going on idk girl if anyone can help me it will be appreciated

Title, basically. I need suggestions on primer and setting spray. I’ve used elf power grip primer (pink and green), elf poreless putty primer, and 2 from the dollar tree that were basically dupes for elf. & for setting sprays, I’ve used elf matte magic mist setting spray, and a vitamin c setting spray off of TikTok. All the ones I’ve tried have been ok, but I want ones that I LOVE and want to buy again. I’m not too picky and will try anything. It can be cheap or pricey. If I love it, idc.

My skin type (and preferences): combination skin (more oily than dry, but still dry in spots), acne prone. I prefer matte, and anything that helps with texture, and blurring pores. But at the same time, I want my skin brighter.

Thanks for any information and help 🙃💋

hi i’m really considering buying the hourglass hope palette but i went to swatch it irl and i found that most of the shades were really glittery so i decided not to buy it. The next day I came back and swatched the brilliant pink shade and its sooo pretty that i want the palette just for that but i cant justify buying the palette for just that shade.

Im just wondering if the glitter really shows up on the face? I think the other colours are pretty im just put off by the glitter. If anybody has any of these palettes and can tell me if they recommend them or not i would really appreciate it💖

I just saw an albino women apply a foundation shade and it was a match and was recommending it to the viewers. Her whole page is almost about testing foundations bc of her i got recomended other influences too. they all test different products. Although I appreciate the honesty I am left wondering two things-

1. What do they do with those products, especially when they don't like it and don't recomend it?

2. When companies make these foundation shades for example shades or products for albino people or other specific group I am pretty sure they don't get a lot of sales on these products because not every albino person dosen't apply makeup and a lot of them are probablynot even aware of these product existing (i have to do my reasearch on this), thats not the point i am try to go towads, my ponit is that what do compaines do with all this foumula they have when they make products for groups that are small in number? or do they not not mass produce in the first place?
