Had these eye bags my whole life, I think it’s due to thin skin. They’re sometimes pink sometimes more blue toned. Looking for product recommendations I can get from England stores and are decently priced. I currently use revolution concealer which I chose 5 years ago and haven’t changed since (I know I’m in need of a switch)
I’m wanting something I can use with no foundation as I like only having makeup around my eyes
1st photo is no makeup
2nd photo is with concealer & powder only
3rd photo is trying peach colour corrector underneath concealer & powder

I can cover my purple eye bags with concealer but it doesn’t hide the texture of my skin and it’s still visible in many of my selfies. I don’t like it. (I know it looks like I don’t have much eye bags here, it’s the yellow lighting lol)

adding both a picture w makeup and without
i have acne prone skin so i gotta use benzoyl peroxide no matter what, if that helps at all!
any advice at all helps very much

Specifically, deep blackheads because I tried using color corrector and maybe I did the wrong color or did it wrong but it didn’t work. The makeup comes out cakey and doesn’t cover it. If ot’s going to hurt, at least let me cover it? I see yall do it but it IMPOSSIBLE for me

Hello,, here’s a lil makeup haul lol. I don’t know much about makeup but am obsessed with lip products. Could da girlies suggest what’s missing and what should be replaced !! I WANNA LEARNNN

Hi! I’m kinda new to makeup and I think I’m doing something wrong because my foundation keeps looking patchy and sometimes builds up weirdly on my skin 😭

I have oily skin. My routine is:

• lightweight water-based gel moisturiser
• wait a few mins
• apply L’Oréal True Match foundation using a steel spatula
• finish with Faces Canada setting spray

Sometimes it looks smooth at first but then gets patchy or cakey/builds up in certain areas. Am I layering products wrong or using the wrong techniques/products together? Any tips would help, pics from the Internet.

I got some incredible feed back last post and I was waiting for an eye primer to come in the mail before I tried again.

I used a different pallet this time and the items I did use are in the last picture.

I tried to be a lot more careful with placing down the color. Trying to place the color closer to the crease and blending up.

I still have soooo much YouTube to watch.

I can't thank everyone enough for the help in my last post...i was shocked by how much of a response I got!

I am just a enby trying to learn makeup this year to look fabulous at pride!

Suggest what kind of eye makeup would make my eyes look striking?

Alright, DON’T hold back.. I want honest opinions on what I could do differently with my makeup. I only use drugstore products as this is what fits in my budget.

I have been doing the same makeup for years and rarely change my process or products.

I don’t use foundation. I start by using a cream bronzer and blush, then apply cover-up on my under eyes and red spots, proceed to fill in my brows, curl my lashes and apply mascara, then finish with a powder bronzer and blush.

Lip products, eyeliner, and eyeshadow are not a thing in my world. I tend to lean towards more basic/natural makeup and don’t want a full beat. However I’m not opposed to some tight lining or a cute lippy, I just haven’t found the right products yet. I’m very cool toned and I find most lip liners or lipsticks are very orange on me, I am open to suggestions if anyone has recommendations for cool toned products.

One other thing to touch on would be my eyes. I’ve tried tight lining and LOVE how it makes my eyes pop, but find it always smudges to my under eye throughout the day. Please send help and tell me how I can stop this 😭 Also, I love waterproof mascara as it makes my lashes stay curled all day - I’ve used the waterproof L’Oréal telescopic for a few years, but recently it’s started to transfer onto my upper eyelids..

Any suggestions on different products or general remarks on what I could improve is appreciated. TIA to all you makeup wizards 🧙🏻‍♀️✨🫶🏼

Hi! I’d really appreciate some honest advice/help with figuring out my eye shape and overall eye area..
I’ve been struggling to understand what actually suits my feature because sometimes makeup tutorials or eyebrow styles look a mess.

I mostly struggle with my upper eye lid because it’s HUGE and makes me look forever tired… I don’t know what to try anymore help!

As the title says, I'm looking for advice because I'm not quite sure where to go from here (experimenting). I'm new to wearing makeup off the stage and am trying to figure out what suits me.

For anyone familiar with the Kibbe body type and Kitchener essence systems, I'm pretty sure I'm a dramatic class with a blend of ethereal, classic, and ingenue essences.

Here is a description of each photo:

1. Brown mascara, natural eyeshadow, blush, highlighter on forehead/nose/chin and above the blush, concealer, little bit of lipstick and brow liner. I felt pretty and the most myself in this.

2. Ethereal look I tried. I really like the pink and white eyeshadow with lip gloss on top. I wish I had a more nude/natural looking lipstick color (for all the looks, not just this one). I felt pretty in this look.

3. Blush, natural eyeshadow, brown mascara, blush, little bit of lipstick, no eyebrows, concealer. I don't really like it because it doesn't feel balanced.

4. Tried Korean style makeup. I really don't like eyeliner on myself in general, and I think the brows are way too heavy.

5. White eyeshadow under brows and on inside of lids and inside corners, pink on outside of lids. Little bit of brow liner and lipstick. Blush. Highlighter above blush, on nose incl bridge/chin/forehead. Setting powder, concealer, foundation. Contour stick between jaw and cheekbones, along hairline.

6. no makeup

This is not my every day look. I am performing in a concert today, so this is my typical “heavy” look. I struggle a lot with understanding eye shadow mainly, but I know there are other areas I can improve too. Please help! I’m wearing eyeliner, light eye shadow, brow pencil, concealer, powder foundation, powder blush, lip stain, and mascara. I’m aware my under eyes are very dark. I drink 80 oz of water every day and usually get about 7-8 hours of sleep so I think it’s genetic but I’m pretty sure I’ve found a concealer that matches my skin enough to conceal it some.

I also included the pallet I bought.

I have so many brushes...one of them said base shadow brush and I just used that to apply a bronze coat first, then the blue tint to try and match my hair.

I have also been trying to work with blush and bronzer to soften my features and present just a little more fem.

Edit: thank you all so much for the advice! I have so much YouTube to watch now! I never expected this to blow up, I thought I would get like 2 comments at most and everyone has been very kind and helpful!

I posted the other day (photo 2) asking for help and I couldn’t be happier with how my makeup turned out today!!! I got some brown mascara/eyeliner, a different blush/lip stain and some fake freckles. I also shaped my brows a bit. Thank you all!! I think this is so much better!!

I’m open to more advice!
