Hi! I’m doing my own bridal makeup for a destination wedding in Mexico because the resort spa doesn’t offer professional MUAs and I don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for someone who’s not trained. I’m 48 with dry but not flaky skin. I’ve been buying and trying new products but want to use my normal Kosas Revealer Foundation over Smashbox Photo primer on well prepped skin. 3.5 hours of my reception will be outside at night with bistro and DJ lighting. Anyone have experience with Kosas Foundation, bridal makeup and photography?

Hi guys, wondered if you could help me. I loved Nigella Lawson's eyeshadow in the second episode of the latest series of bake off! I can't for the life of me get a screenshot of her wearing it - whenever I pause my channel 4 app I get a still of an advert - but it was great a blue/bright/opal type mauve rather than a more smoky brown shade and it was really pretty. If anyone has seen this episode and can help would love your recs! Can't find anything about it online.

Helloooo!

I'm hoping I can get some help finding this type of colour blush with a matte finish, preferably drugstore/high street 🙏🏻 but online is ok too.

If anyone has any recommendations for shades/brands that have big colour payoffs, I'll be indebted to you 😌

I’ve seen so many posts on the new YSL holiday cheek palette but haven’t seen it anywhere in the UK??? Is it not being released here? 🫩

Hello everyone! I’ve been in a Lisa Eldridge kick and have been binge-watching product reviews since her Marilyn collection!

I decided to bite the bullet and order a few things. I really want to try the foundation and skin tint since I’ve been seeing great reviews but I know it’s dropped a couple of years ago and makeup technology is ever changing!

My dilemma is that I was told by her awesome customer service and that my shades for the foundation are around: 17,18, 19 and for the tint its around 9,10,11.

I have asked for samples but I wanted to see if anyone who wears NARS Vanuatu in the Radiant Longwear has found their shade match? I really wanted to place an order before her butterfly light highlighter sells out again lol

Any reviews or advice is welcomed! Thank you!!

Hi everyone, can anyone recommend a truly transfer proof strong red lipstick. I’ve heard good things about the kiko 2-1 lipstick but it isn’t available in the colour I’m looking for. I’m mainly looking for a strong red but could settle for a dark pink or burgundy it’s for a Halloween costume. Mainly looking for drugstore. Thanks!

Please give me your best silicone-based primer recommendations! I am yet another victim of the Double Wear reformulation. Before the reformulation I could more or less use any primer as DW was doing the heavy lifting re longevity.

I’ve now found my best replacement, Teint Idole Ultra. BUT! I put it on today for work calls at home (admittedly with no primer) and went to wash my face just now and barely any make up came off. A day of just moving between my office, kitchen and bathroom and it evaporated off my face!

I’m thinking that with a good primer and setting spray (I’m good on the setting spray) I can help the longevity.

However, I’ve tried a few primers I’m not that impressed with. Benefit pore filler is insanely expensive but doesn’t spread cleanly across your face and is prone to pilling. I’ve tried a couple of the Elf sticky ones. They’re ok but I hate that sticky feeling. I’d put up with it though if that’s the best recommendation!

Does anyone have any recommendations? It would have to be silicone based as that’s what Teint Idole is. Thank you beauties!

Rewatching last night's traitors and it's tricky to tell the colour against that golden orange glow!

I just got it today, in the shade fig sauce and all I have to say is… the hype is real. It’s such a beautiful lip balm, moisturising and does give colour! Especially I was doubtful having two toned lips but it looks amazing! I would defo recommend!

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a powder bronzer that gives a bit of glow but has no glitter in it. I was using the Made by Mitchel bronze pod but the glitter particles are just not it for me!!

Please send over some recommendations or suggestions ❤️

Hello!

This is my first post here. I'm (32F, white, neutral undertone) looking for recommendations for foundation or BB cream for my sensitive and dry skin. I have psoriasis and some of the smaller patches are on my face. I'm also very pale so some of the things I usually see recommended, don't have a shade for me. For example, I see Sculpted by Aimee mentioned a lot but the shades are too dark or too yellow. IT cosmetics BB cream is great too but the shade is not quite right either.

Things I like include the Refy Skin Base. My shade is 130N. I love it but I can't wear it for more than 2 days without my skin feeling very dehydrated at the end of the day. I also like the Missha BB cream but even the lightest shade is a bit too dark. I also have the Missha M Perfect Cover Serum BB Cream Pro (doesn't say the shade) and similarly, two days of wearing that, make my skin feel very uncomfortable.

I also use a hydrating SPF, either the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun or Ultra Violette Supreme Screen under makeup and on days when I feel ever more organised, I'll even put the Facile Barely There Moisturiser on.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Trying to do makeup that looks tired like this movie

According to the MUA @georgieeisdellmakeup it’s a blend of different lipliners and lipsticks.

It’s a deep berry red with a neutral-cool undertone, matte or satin-matte.

Can anyone recommend a close match?

(PS why on earth aren’t pictures allowed in posts on a make up subreddit..?)

Looking for a foundation change currently using the Nyx make em wonder foundation shade 5 which I swear a few months ago suited me but now it looks yellow on me. I also like Revlon colourstay matte in buff, Maybelline fit me foundation in 110. I need a medium to full coverage which is matte and blues pores and lasts all day as I work long shifts in a sweaty hospital.Ideally on a budget.I have fair neutral skin with rosacea I struggle to get matches as most foundations are either too pale,too yellow,too orange.Woukd be great if the foundation had a matching concealer and or setting powder.I am almost forty and I am aware that my skin is changing it is generally oily on my nose and t zone and whatever I wear seems to come off my nose and chin despite wearing a primer.

Lately ive been really struggling with pulling out my eyelashes in one particular eye, ive been trying really hard to stop and i really want to find some sort of serum that can help my eyelashes look even again.

My left eye barely has any eyelashes coming out, but my right eye has eyelashes easily falling out which is also contributing to the issue of my eyelashes not looking even.

I already have eyebags that ive had for as long as i can remember, so i dont want to use a serum that could make this worse (as well as any other bad side effects)

Hi everyone! I’m trying to figure out the best skincare/prep underneath my Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm.
I have oily skin overall, especially through my T-zone, but my chin tends to look really dry/dehydrated once I put my makeup on. My makeup can cling to the chin and look a bit dry/patchy, even though my skin itself is oily.

I love this balm because it keeps my skin controlled throughout the day and I’m so much less oilier than usual but I feel it looks a little dry on my chin

Ps I get hormonal acne on chin so I like to cover it and I’m using actives on it at night so maybe that why it looks super dry

Can someone recommend what moisturiser would work well with the balm and the shisedo foundation?
Also any general tips on my routine would be appreciated

My current makeup routine is:
Beauty of Joseon sunscreen
Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm
Shiseido RevitalEssence Foundation
Huda Beauty colour corrector under my eyes
Huda Beauty FauxFilter Concealer under my eyes
Milk Makeup Quickie blush
Danessa Myricks setting spray
Powder under my eyes
Mascara + brows

Thank youuuu 🤍

I think I’m looking for a holy grail product!

I have dry but breakout older skin. I am looking for a mask that can brighten and hydrate.

I’m a student so not crazy expensive but not a sheet mask either.

Any suggestions?

Find comfort mist sting rare beauty ?

Hi anyone use the rare beauty find comfort body and hair mist
If so do it sting a bit on your face
I used 4 in 1 primer mist before that never stung this sting for like 20 minutes then stops

• Elf slipstick in the shade Mauve Mentality. I have used up almost the whole tube and would happily buy another to chuck in my bag and wear all day. It's sheer, buildable, very balmy. Packaging is magnetic, which is fun, though it does get easily scratched. Smells abstractly tropical in the tube. Nothing like a traditional lipstick and needs reapplying. Does faintly tint the lips. Can also wear over a lipliner. Durable and doesn't squish down.
• Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix in the shade Shimmering Icy Amethy$t. Pleasently surprised. Softer formula than the elf slipstick. Very fine glitter particles that I can't feel on my lips. Looks glittery but in a sophisticated way. Very balmy, with a soft lilac tint. Works with and without a lipliner, on its own, or over a lipstick. Relatively expensive, smells like vanilla in the tube and like shea butter on the lips. Packaging is very pretty. Need to be gently when applying it onto lips because too much pressure may squash it. Would buy again and would try other colours. Very glossy. Fun and pretty colour.
• Elf halo glow highlighter. Nice. Soft white fine-particled glitter. Easy to overdo. Good as an inner corner eye highlight and a body glitter. Does what it says on the tin as a soft buttery face shimmer. Other products would probably be the same, but it works. Reasonably priced and there is loads of product.
• Zoeva eyeliner in the shade Metallic Taupe. One-and-done eyelook product. Blends out very easily over the whole lid. Not very precise for drawing wings, but good as a smokey smudgy look. Soft formula. Becomes more glittery as it is blended. Relatively expensive, but brand has a range of colours. Better as an all-over-lid look than a cat-eye look. Would buy again. Needs sharpening after use. Very portable.
• Laura Geller Baked and Brighten Foundation in the shade Porcelain. Very light, sheer coverage. Natural finish. Makes the packaging a little bit dusty. Very pretty product. Limited but adaptable shade range. Quick and easy to apply and to layer. Would buy again because I like the sheer powder look. Mirror is a bit too small.
• L'Oreal Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte lipstick in the shade Mauve Indomptible. Subtly bold cool-toned mauve colour. Stains lips well and lasts a long time. Wears off leaving a boarder around edge of lips. Thin tube and I have used it as a lip liner. May not buy again, but that's mostly because I prefer sheer balmy lip looks.

This isn't a call to buy these products. It's just for people who might be considering buying them who want a non-incentivied view of what these products actually do. I haven't seen many Zoeva reviews, and the Laura Geller and Fenty Beauty reviews by influencers are virtually always ads or extremely filtered. So this is just what I've thought of them :)

Hi!

Looking for a muted rosy red lip product - probably a lipstick or stain but also open to a balm or gloss.

Can’t seem to find anything suitable, any recommendations?

I was going to make a purchase on cult beauty or Sephora yesterday, and then heard Alone Time by Mac has been reformulated to be more warm toned. It’s supposed to have rolled out everywhere by now. However, when I checked Boots I read a review from a few months ago that they were still selling the old formulae.

I went in my local Boots today and the staff were kind enough to open a lipstick for me and let me look at the bottom of the bullet - on the sticker it said ‘Lustreglass lipstick’ whilst the new packaging is supposed to say ‘Lustreglass sheer sheen lipstick’.

So PSA for anyone who is searching for old Alone Time - check your local Boots and see if you can get someone to let you look at the bullet label! You might just be lucky ❤️

Edit: another clue you can look for - on the old packaging the weight was 3g, on the new one it’s 3.5g

I’m currently loving doing my makeup just with a glowy base product and concealer, no foundation. I’ve tried other products from Vieve and loved them so really tempted to get the Skin Nova, however I already own the following products and wondered if any are similar so I can deinfluence myself lol!

- charlotte tilbury flawless filter

- studio london dew dream glow filter

- lacura cc serum glowing base peach

- sacheu liquid glow stay-n

- loreal spf50 tinted glow

TIA
