I used to spend way too much time struggling with my daily makeup until I stumbled across one ridiculous simple technique that changed everything. Now my routine takes half the time, and the finish looks completely seamless. It made me realize how many unnecessary steps I was doing before. What’s that one game changing tip you wish someone had told you sooner?
Hi! I’m a beginner and I have a question about which make up brush is best for cream products. I have a contour stick and a cream bronzer and so far I’ve been using my foundation brush, but I find it comes out muddy.
Would one of these brushes work? Which one would be better?
Hi! I am figuring out how else to better my makeup and elevate my look even further. I feel like in the front my face looks a bit too long, so any tricks to give an illusion that my face is shorter?
Thank you
I've seen it around a fair bit before but I don't know the name of it or how to describe it well. I attempted it on myself for the reference photo
I bought some white makeup, the kind that people use when they dress up as clowns and such last year. I didn't buy the setting powder that went with it, I bought some white powder from the store.
My question is, how do you apply the white makeup and the powder when the makeup is still wet? Do you have to wait a certain amount of time until it dries? Is there a certain way to apply the powder? I really need some help for my costume this year.
Lately I’ve been thinking about changing my makeup style but I don’t really know what could suits me. Right now I mostly put some bronzer and orange blush that’s my absolute go to ! I just think it makes blue eyes pop and we don’t see it that much hones compared to pink or red tones blush. Anyways any advice is welcomed i‘d like makeup tips/ style that could suit me according to you
thanks you !
Hey so I’m a feminine boy looking to get into makeup, I’ve done my makeup by myself 3 times but brought really cheap products online, the foundation didn’t suit my skin colour and it just looked unrealistic. I’m wanting girls to text me and help me get what I need. if you’re local to me and willing to help i can go shopping and buy it all or just an online texting is always useful. I hope this is a good enough subreddit for my help, thank you :)
Every time I think I need new makeup, I go to Sephora or Ulta and get so overwhelmed. And I feel like a lot of the associates in there aren’t really in-tune to what I need/want.
Where does one go who needs a new beginning with makeup? I’m 45 and need better direction.
I want to wear makeup to school however my glasses are the only thing stopping me and would like to know what fellow spec wearers do.
I use:
-Drugstore: primer, concealer, contour, bronzer and powder
-Estee lauder foundation, I think the double wear one?
-Hairspray as setting spray (Trust it works, it's been through EVERYTHING)
I have combination skin, my forehead and t-zone are the most oily.
I clean my face before and can wear my full face for the whole day, however there is always a collection of oxidised product mixed with powder that makes a orange outline of where my glasses sit. Using only concealer isn't an option as I'm scared my face will heat up and leave me bright red apart from my eyes.
I have tried putting powder and a touch of concealer on my glasses but it hasn't worked for me and sometimes I just need to take my glasses off.
Do I just accept and own having marks when I need a break from having my glasses on my face?
I’m starting to get more into makeup and I honestly don’t know where to begin. I want something that looks natural but still makes my features stand out without feeling too heavy.
What products would you recommend for a beginner, especially for base makeup, blush, brows, and lips? Also if you have any tips on what makeup style would suit my face, please help a girl out 🥹🫶
Soooo Sephora stopped carrying my favorite cool tone contour (their brand in the lightest shade). No stores within 50 miles of me has it, and I’m completely out right now. Any suggestions of other brands? I’m WHITE white and everything looks orange on me… despite contours being actually shadows and shadows aren’t orange 😃 I have a bigger presence of powders than creams. I’ve tried the elf cream one and it just disappears when I put on face setting powder
Playing with some older wigs, I popped this one on as an afterthought - and maybe I've grown into it? It's sort of ombre gray, maybe salt and pepperish. Before losing a bunch of weight, I didn't like exposing my neck, but I think it's better now? The lipstick is new - MAC Red Rock - and I needed a replacement for my peachy blush - this is from NYX's Buttermelt collection - Sunset Sorbet.
And yes, I was thinking of Stevie Nicks with the leather/lace outfit. What do you think?

like to do nose contour because I think it brings my makeup look together but I think I’m contouring my nose wrong.
I have a bulbous tip and the way I do my nose contour makes my tip look bigger and brings the attention to the tip and I don’t know what to do to not have my bulbous tip the center of attention.
Does anyone know what I can do with my nose in terms of contouring it?
the first three pics are my nose contour and the rest is my nose without makeup.
Hi guys!! So I’m quite cool toned and I’m looking for a powder bronzer to go with my cream one. I’ve got the Sephora collection in fair to light and that’s perfect but I’m looking for a powder one to go with! I know that collection dose one but it’s not available in the uk, I was wondering if any other cool toned baddies had any recommendations:) xx
I used to buy every new launch and ended up with drawers full of expired, barely touched products. I finally snapped when I realized I was collecting pretty packaging instead of actually using what I loved. Now, I force myself to finish an entire product before buying a replacement, no exceptions. Browsing makeup subreddits without a shopping list is banned, and my wallet (and vanity) has never been happier.
I am looking to improve my eyebrows. I know the shape is not good but I'm going to shape them. If you guys have any suggestions on shaping my eyebrows, please let me know.
I am also looking for what color suits my eyebrows and any specific shades of any eyebrow products that goes well with my eyebrows.
I am using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Ebony, but I'm not sure if it suits me or not.
Please recommend any specific eyebrow products and the specific color if possible
I’m having a weird issue with my setting powder. I use the Fenty lavender setting powder on my highlight spots. I tap it out on my triangle powder puff thing to even it out. When I put it on my forehead it’ll remover my concealer and kind of clump up. I don’t know what to dooooo. I just ordered the Kim chi beauty lavender setting powder to see if it helps. My primer is the nyx plump right back, and I mix the la girl pro concealer in white with a little L’Oréal radiant concealer for my highlight spots.
I'm 35 and used to do the big black winged eyeliner by I feel like that's out. I tried to use browns and neutrals, but feel like everything goes orange on me.
Edit: thank you so much everyone! The lips are a lip tint and did look better once it faded and I put a gloss over the top. But these comments are so helpful! I think I just don't do it enough. But I'm gonna start trying more, thank you so so so much 💖💖💖💖
Girls, I need help. I want to create a two-tone lip look, but it’s not turning out the way I want—it turns into a warm coffee shade and makes my skin tone look weird.And honestly,I don't think I'm doing a very good job with it anyway.😖
In the tutorials I’ve watched, they use peel-off lip stains. Do you have any good drugstore brand recommendations for those, or any lip liner suggestions orrr any other method? By the way, I’m currently trying to do this with a lip liner.
I’m attaching two photos of the look I want and two photos of my own attempt.The 3rd and 4th photos are my lips.
