i could never find a makeup style that fit my face all my life and im so tired of hating myself, i just want to feel pretty for a change. i have a very weird looking face and most styles and colors just make me look like a clown. is there anything i can do makeup-wise? my skin is usually dry and acne-prone. thank you for reading this

I just turned 30 🥰 I use concealer (Morphe) instead of foundation (Haus Labs aka my holy grail) lately due to my skin having a lot of acne scarring and I find Concealer gives slightly better coverage and also Cos price 💀

Elf halo glow contour, primark liquid blush, essence powder and Haus Labs lip oil. I use Haus mascara but it smudges like hell on my oily eyes as does mascara I’ve tried lately (essence, elf). I would’ve loved to do a tightline or wing but allergies have my eyes feeling so sensitive lately💀

In my hair I use olaplex but the heat +humidity lately in Ireland leaves me like a frizz bomb and I’m trying to grow out my roots a bit.

I’m wearing brown mascara, tinted moisturizer, lip gloss/balm, clear eyebrow gel, and blush with a little bit of bronzer.

Edit: This was in the morning after washing my hair. I hadn’t “scrunched out the crunch” yet, so that’s why it looks like that haha

I feel like I’ve tried every concealer known to man, and I’ve also tried color correcting before applying concealer. I do the dot method, making sure I don’t apply too much but no matter what I do, my left under eye always appears so dark. Please help!

Trying for a grudgey kind of look. I can't decide if I like it or if I just look like an old lady whose bad at makeup. I feel it's messy. It's just eye liner, mascara, some shitty attempt at eye shadow with badly hooded eyes and lipstick.

I have always had sparse eyebrows at the front/ beginning of my eyebrows. I want to create that natural eyebrow hair stroke look but Im not sure what product to use now.

For a while I used benefit eyebrow pencil but I found i couldn't create the thin eyebrow hair strokes with it.

I then tried a eyebrow thin pen by MUA. This did work a little bit but the tip is too thick to create those hair strokes.

I learnt on reddit that anastasia beverly hills microstroke brow pen was good to create thin hair strokes. And I fill like it did when I first started using it. But I had the pen for 2 weeks and now the pen doesnt create those thin lines anymore. (I know I have to shake it before use and do it lightly, but its like the product doesnt want to come out. So i test it on the back of my hand and it comes out but on my brow it doesnt want to come out)

I do tint my eyebrows once a week and this helps with them looking fuller. But to create that hair like appearance and not make my eyebrows look bold Im finding very difficult.

I read that a pomade might be worth a shot? But I never used a pomade before.

I also came across nyx lift and snatch eyebrow pen, it is at least cheaper than the anastasia one.

Please someone help me. I spend so much time doing eyebrows when im getting ready to go out, I think it takes up 45 minutes to try and get them to look normal/ natural. 🥲

Edit: also I wanted to ask, what stage of doing makeup is best to do eyebrows? Before foundation or after foundation?

What kind of products do I use to get this bright glowy look? I try dewy foundation and highlighter but it just doesn’t look the same as these glowy skinned people I see!?

Help please!

Idk what it’s called but I love the effect where it’s kinda blurred/dreamy around her silhouette and I want to know what camera and lens she uses.

im having a hard time doing my makeup, i want to achieve a dewy bronzy natural-ish look that snatches my face but i get freaked out if i put on concealer or foundation, i feel like its not me. i usually just wear mascara eyeliner and lip gloss but i want to expand my routine, does anyone have any product recommendations or ways to apply my makeup to help me achieve this? bare face on 3rd slide

Context bcs i feel like its needed: my skin is pretty bad (i have some health issues, ive had a surgery for my health problem, i hope this will help), i look tired (ive struggled with insomnia my whole life & the recovery from the surgery is mega hard). The style i like the most is latina, but i want to keep it pretty simple. What do you think would benefit me the most? Thanks for taking your time to read this!

hi baddies, I’m trying to find more makeup ideas & tips that you think would suit my features! My typical going out look is similar to the first two photos, either w black or brown eyeliner/eyeshadow.

Typically tho I usually just go out with a glossed lip/liner like in pic 3. I don’t use foundation often, sometimes a tinted moisturizer for a more bronze look. Last pic is me w/out makeup, but I recently got a lash lift which has been game changer.

Also I have eyebrow blindness- I think in the second pic my eyebrows were way too intense/not shaped, what do you think I should do w my brows? Thinner, thicker? I like more of a natural look to them, but that’s just personal preference, if you think something would look better lmk 💕 tyyy

Going for the no make up look, does it look okay ?
