My little sister just got her first big girl job & I want to put together an on-the-go makeup bag as a fun congrats gift that she can easily throw in her work bag.

I’m looking for your favorite products that have multiple uses to keep her makeup bag easy to dig through and lightweight. Think highlighter that can double as an eyeshadow, lip stain that could be a blush, lightweight foundation with SPF, eyeliner/lip liner (if they exist), hydrating setting spray or refresher, dual-ended brow pencil and gel, bronzer/contour palette, multi-purpose palettes, frizzy hair spray that smells good….any other ideas?

She’s a green-eyed blonde that loves the dewy, luminous, creamy, sun-kissed look. She likes clean beauty but open to all suggestions! Thank you in advance!! <3

I just wanna be cute! I struggle with dark under eyes and have been using Nars amande and recently, Kylie 8.5 concealers. (That’s what I have on now.) I just feel like I can’t find a good color match for a brightly lit area.

My goal is to have a fresh looking face for easy every day make up with a 10 to 15 minute application.

I felt good about this until I finished and really looked at myself... What did I mess up? Is it the lip color? I feel like my eyes actually look good and subtle, I didn't want anything crazy.... Am I just being insecure? Did something actually go wrong?

I feel like for years I have been stumped as to what my face shape is! I am trying to maximize how I do my makeup and hair for it but am always left feeling lost. Same with my undertones, but I fear thats a battle I will never win.

I have tried the measurement calculators and have gotten oblong, oval, heart, diamond, and triangle which really doesnt narrow it down. Hoping y'all can get a better read on me!

Including one straight-on photo and one posed (sorry for the spooky editing, its for my privacy, if its not allowed pls let me know!) No makeup on in both photos.

I don’t even know where to start.

(These are not my pics!! I got it from Pinterest)

So im going to start my college soon and want to learn to do some pretty makeup.

I have pretty similar or maybe slightly warmer skintone compare to the second pic.

Im looking to go for similar look, i tried foundation and all "dark" foundations are too orange for my skin tone and they oxidise and look grey in few hours. And oh yeah I also have but oval/round face so that's one more problem to add.

I use a concealer that's close to my skintone but still fairer making me feel like a joker rather than pretty.

And I absolutely STRUGGLE with lipstick cuz i feel like a pig with a lipstick or a joker. Even though i use a brown lipliner and then dot and key's meltie lip balm in berry crumble shade instead of an actual lipstick. That still feels too much. So can anyone help me out how to feel pretty with makeup?

Hey,
Relatively new to getting back into make up, lately I’ve just been doing a full face daily but honestly it’s exhausting and so many steps, looking to cut down what I use as I really don’t have an hour or so to do makeup in the morning with a toddler. I have dropped photos of my current look and products. Help me cut down on what I use ? I just don’t know where to start as I’ve always been an all or nothing girly , photo with a friend with my full makeup , and a photo without anything , my main think is my skin and eyes. Any help is appreciated 🥰

I have dark blonde hair. Mv evebrows aren't blonde Soft brown is too dark. Taupe didn't look right. It's driving me crazy not being able to find my right eyebrow shade!! Please help!

The pics of my evebrows filled in is from a filter. I can't find the correct shade to make my evebrows fill in like that.

Compared to where I started(see previous post) and where I am now, have I improved much? Any tips? These are my last 3 looks I’ve done and they are all different in a way. Does one stand out and look better?

I felt like doing makeup today so I did something fun colorwise. Maybe I should have done something more pinky than coral toned, in my room when I was doing the makeup I didn't realize it was so corally, I mean personally I don't think it looks bad though?

I think the lip is throwing me off, I couldn't figure out what color to do, but a nude felt like it wouldn't look good. I think my complexion looks good despite the acne and scarring you can see through it in some spots. I might have disgusted my blush too much as it's not super visible here in the picture, but my bronzer definitely helped as my foundation was just a touch too light for my skintone, but I think it was my winter shade too lollll

I’m not very happy with how it came out but I’m gonna keep practicing

I’ve recently started experimenting with makeup, and I’m kinda lost lol. I looove the look of eyeliner on other people, but anytime I do a traditional cat wing it looks so weird and I don’t think it suits my eye shape. Any suggestions on what wing/eyeliner style would suit my eye shape? Thanks!

Ps don’t mind my eyebrows lmao

So, I posted earlier on today with the makeup that I had done this morning and overwhelmingly it seems it did not turn out as good as I thought it had in the moment. The most common critique I saw was about the blending of my eyeshadow, and looking at it I can see where everybody is coming from. There were some comments about how my eyeliner had looked, as well as the lip I chose not looking good.

So, I'm going to ask for advice and suggestions on how I should go about makeup in the future, what kind of things would suit me, etc

I included a picture of myself without makeup, my look I did today and the other recent makeup I've done. I would include more but I can't find the other photos right now.

I spend 30 mins a day trying to figure how to wear make up before going to class and every time I just feel so ugly and I don't why. Sometimes it doesn't feel subtle enough, sometimes I look like I have eyebags, and sometimes I do it just right but I'm not able to recreate it. I just feel dumb so that I spend 30 minutes a day for something I'm just not gonna be satisfied.
