(Sorry for the quality).
Made one too many posts asking for help since I was doing my own wedding makeup. Got the pro photos back and thanks to you guys I feel like my makeup turned out really nice!!!
Also my lashes aren’t wonky, my eyes are terrible and one is more droopy than the other. I could get it surgically corrected but meh?!
Hi!! I’ve been trying to nail down a makeup routine that photographs well for a trip I’m taking soon. I normally don’t wear much makeup but it doesn’t show up well in photos.
Since using foundation, concealer, and powder i’ve realized that no matter what I do i look extremely dry and patchy.
I am on tret, but I use azelaic acid and hyaluronic acid every day and anya’s PDRN spray while applying my makeup. I just can’t believe this is really how dry my skin is lol i’m wondering if there part of my routine that can help avoid this??
Routine is:
Anua azelaic acid
345 Relief Cream
wait a minute to dry down
NARS radiant foundation applied with brush
Fenty concealer with sponge
Set with Maybelline loose powder
Spray with PDRN spray
wait a minute to dry down
do eyes/eyebrows
powder blush and highlighter
spray again, dry down
Spray with ultrafine mist setting spray
Hi! I'm practicing my makeup for my brother's wedding. I originally learned makeup through drag and am still learning how to translate those skills into more natural glam looks. This definitely came out more dramatic and drag-inspired than I intended. What can I do differently next time?
I'm 34 with pale, combination (mostly dry) skin. I've had consistent breakouts for years now and kind of had to accept it. My hair also isn't red like this anymore it's brown (literally just dyed it lol). I have pretty hooded and small eyes, blonde eyelashes and very sparse eyebrows. No matter what I do or try my make up looks awful especially in photos. I don't know how to contour or do the right blush placement for my face shape. I feel like it all ages me and really shows off my fine lines/sagging skin. I included the last two photos to show the issue I have with my lips. When I smile, I have this very defined weird line underneath my bottom lip and it looks off any time I try to wear lip color. Any advice to make myself look less..old and awful?

My eye makeup always turns out differently, and I don’t know why!
My makeup lately has been very bad. I can’t for the life of me figure out why I just can’t get it right.
I have very fine lines under my eyes plus my eyes are deep set. So despite using a few layers (not caked on) of concealer, they still show. It also seems like my under eyes are grey but shiny. I’ll link my pictures below. I know my face is weird, I’m just trying to find the right makeup style that fits me. Please be nice.
Here’s my makeup routine
Skincare prep:
- Medik8 total moisture daily moisturizer and I let it sit for about 3 minutes.
Makeup steps and products in order:
just basically the title!!🫶
Went to play some music yesterday, tried subtle smokey eyes, I think I succeeded! Also love myself some lip tint
I have been told to try some mascara and lipstick. I have a berry brown mascara, because when I try to use black I feel like my eyes look weird. I think it looks okay, but I’d like to do more with my eyes.
And I’ve been experimenting with lip stains, but everything doesn’t feel quite right. I’m not sure what colors I should be trying for. I don’t want anything too dramatic, but I really do want to try to start putting in a wee extra little effort on a daily basis.
I do try to purchase makeup that’s vegan/cruelty free—like elf or some of the covergirl stuff. Basically, I am pretty lost and could use specific suggestions!
Any tips for my makeup routine? not a big fan of my face shape haha. I recently changed my blush placement from around the upper cheeks area-around the eyes to this, not sure if there's something missing or something I can improve on.
Personally, my makeup looks fine up close, but whenever someone takes a picture of me from afar I just look very washed out or just not good looking at all
So I posted yesterday and got a lot of feedback mentioning my brows… I’ve tried to make them less “blocky” and more natural… have I done it or is there more work to do? Also, any other advice gratefully received
I’ve very much gotten into a rut doing my makeup the same for years. Worried that it doesn’t look the best espically the brows (worried I have brow blindness haha). My eyelids feel quite hooded so I struggle on the eyeshadow department. Reposting with photo of my brows without product. Hair is my natural colour for some reason my brows have always been dark compared to my hair.
I’m really trying to have a natural look, but I also love how Victorias secrets angels makeup are done. What do you ladies think I should do to achieve that look? Thank you beautiful ladies 💕
It looks like I do but I haven’t plucked my eyebrows in several years, I do absolutely nothing! Any suggestions appreciated.
Hi all, I am eloping in two weeks and am doing my own hair and make up for the day. I did my first full trial today and feel like I am missing something. Maybe more eye shadow? Darker lip? I will have false lashes on and will have my eyebrows professionally shaped before the big day. Going for a soft glam/glowy look. This is not the dress, but wanted to see how it looked with white. Any pointers appreciated!
I try my best to follow the tutorials but they still end up ugly?! What am i doing wrong?? either it looks bland or doesn’t appear on camera
(I got a double eyelid surgery so the last pic is the most recent one!)
Any advice on how to do makeup that appears on camera??
Focussed more on lip liner, I prefer the darker liner with neutral lip for the overal vibe. I also tried to do more y2k simple eyeliner and eyebrows to try match the vibe. I think I am satisfied with the second picture, though I will upgrade to an eyebrow powder or pencil that matches my hair more.
Of course any tips for improvement are very welcome
I am not necessarily new to makeup, but never actually explored eyeliner or different colors/tones. I am recently trying to learn different eyebrow shapes or how to work with them since I am unsure of my natural shape. First two photos are different angle of my recent attempt at a warmer/brighter palette (more pinks and orange, and trying reddish pink lipstick/gloss) aswell as following my natural brow line best I can. Third is a more darker look where I use more cooler tones and black eyebrows aswell as trying a thinner shape + higher arch and placement. Fourth and fifth are older photos from a little over a year ago (I had a hiatus since I got pregnant shortly after) fourth photo being coloring in my brow hairs and drawing them in and doing a far more natural look (no eyeliner or eyeshadow besides blush, defs concealer too) and then last photo is my bare face with my natural brows (I don’t have any recent ones since I started shaving them to experiment with). I am not sure what styles or colors may fit me that I don’t see, especially as a natural strawberry blonde. I love the more darker or alternative style but I am accepting and fine with going for more warmer or brighter looks, or if theres alternative variations in that area without washing myself out
I use primer and skincare before makeup, set with loose and pressed powder including on my glasses and l'oreal stetting spray. Genuinely what am I doing wrong??
