**don't mind the lace in the last picture honestly that day I couldn't have cared less about the lace showing i just needed the day to end🥲*

my makeup has felt quite broing to me for a while now so i decided to switch it up and draw my eyebrows blonde, i love the contrast😍omw to look for a 613 wig to match cause I'm tryna look like Storm😝 i get weird looks when i go out (country i live in isn't really alt girl friendly, most people are quite conservative with their makeup) but idc honestly, i feel like an ethereal E.T and i love ittt😍

Any makeup tips even though I don’t wear a full beat I’m just curious. I’m so mad because I lost my dark lip liner and that would have ate!

Hi! I'm new to makeup and want to get a few things for Christmas as a start! I'm working with roughly a £50 budget, but I'm willing to cut things if necessary bc I don't want to spend money on stuff I won't actually use.

I just wanted to ask what you would keep, remove or replace if you were in my position. Are any of these choices particularly bad for a beginner? Is there anything I'm missing that's actually important, or anything I can realistically skip for now?

Like if you had around £50 to build your first makeup collection from scratch, what would you prioritize?

Also, is it fine to start with just concealer instead of foundation? I'm going for a natural, no-makeup makeup look for now, as I'm learning, and my friends mostly just use concealer without foundation anyway. (For like school)

I'm also wondering if there are any cheaper alternatives that perform similarly. These aren't my final wishlist or anything, they're just what I've been considering at the moment.

Oh, and since I can most likely only afford one concealer right now, should I get one that's closest to my skin tone, or a few shades lighter so I can use it for brightening as well?

I also have naturally dry skin. It's not extremely dry or anything, but it can feel quite tight after showering mostly.

Any advice is appreciated! :)

This will be my last blush post as I will not be getting anything else🥹. Swear to Bob✋🏾

For the swatches I went by row (across not down).

YVES SAINT LAURENT
-Brewed Reflections Couture Face Palette
2 - medium to deep
-Make Me Blush 12H Blurring Liquid Blush
37 Peachy Nude
74 Hibiscus Heat
I really like the holiday pallet but I wish the blushes had more matte options instead of stuff with shimmer. The liquid ones I will be returning. I felt like I was putting a lot on to get the color I wanted even tho it swatched and blended nice on my arm it wasn’t as easy on my foundation. I like to put my powder on top of my blush and this was tacky for a while. Then I felt like most of my color disappeared and left a shiny spot on my face as the day progressed. I don’t have much experience with liquid so maybe wasn’t doing something right idk.

HOURGLASS
-Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette
Luck
I know I complained about the solo ones but I really wanted to try this and I love it. The color shows up good I think I am just learning some stuff has to be built up more than others. I have the regular ambient lighting brush and the special 2 to match this pallet and the one that matches the pallet was a better application and the smaller heads for picking up product.

DIOR
-Rosy Glow Powder Blush
Cherry
Berry
This formula hasn’t disappointed me yet and is very pigmented. This just me getting ready for fall makeup.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY
-Airbrush Flawless Blush Blur
Summer Lovegasm
Ecstasty
I really like Summer Lovegasm

MAKE UP FOR EVER
-HD Skin Face Essentials Long-Lasting Full Face Cream Palette
Palette 2: Tan to Deep
Working with a new medium so idk yet. I don’t like how close the pans are tho I made a mess too easily.
