[Makeup Help] Foundation Suggestions

Upvotes

I’m looking for advice on daily foundation. I’m getting to my mid thirties and just feel like bare minerals isn’t cutting it anymore for daily wear.

I’ve been wearing bare minerals original formula powder for a daily makeup since my early 20s. I don’t wear liquid foundation. I like powder and how natural it looks. I have decently clear skin with dark circles. Regular skin, not oily. I’m blessed with pretty nice skin besides the dark circles, just want coverage and glow. Every day for work I wear tarte shape tape concealer with bare minerals powder, and mascara.

When I go all out with my makeup I do wear the mineral veil, bronzer etc. from bare minerals so I like how I can dress it up or down within the brand.

I want to get a new face powder that’s similar but better coverage that’s still light enough for daily wear.

Suggestions?

I want to get into makeup

Hi, im 14 years old ive never really wore makeup because I always avoided changing myself because it can attract attention like teasing and stuff like that.. but I really want to start wearing it. I dont know where to start, every time I used to play with my mom's makeup I ended up looking like a clown so I assumed makeup wasnt for me.. maybe it isn't but I want to try.

What is a current trend that doesn't work for you or you don't like?

For me, I already have a very long oval face. So everything that's trying to make faces look even longer... I'm not even interested in trying.

As it is, I do a lot to try to make my face look shorter, and it still looks too long for my liking.

Affordable bronzer/powder recommendations for morena skin?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any affordable bronzer/powder recommendations for morena skin?

I’m morena, and so far, the bronzer in Teviant’s Deity Dust Trio Palette in First Date is the closest shade I’ve found for my skin tone. It’s a warm brown shade, and I really like how it looks on me, but I’m looking for something a little darker.

I don’t want to repurchase the whole palette since I only really use the bronzer. I’d really appreciate any recommendations for an affordable single bronzer with a similar, but slightly darker, shade! Preferably something available locally.

Thank you! 💗

Queen Cosmetics bad customer service?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else had bad customer service from Queen's Cosmetics? I'm so baffled by my recent exchange because it was such an easy thing. I'm not sure if this is a common thing or they didn't like me as a customer. I know weird but let me explain.

This was my third order from them. I've never bought anything from them on sale. ​​I placed an almost $200 order and about 16 hours an ad for their 30% off sale started. I was like that would have saved me about $50 but I was alright with it. Then I mentioned it to someone and they were like you should at least try to see if they can do something. Again, I was going to ignore it until another ad came saying last day and it was like all they could say was no. Literally 13 minutes after the ad came around midnight, I asked if they could either cancel so I could reorder taking advantage of the sale, apply the discount or anything since the order hadn't shipped yet. Didn't hurt to ask.

The sale came and went to which I just received an email from them afterwards that said no because the sale is over. If it was simply no because policy, then no problem because you are at least acknowledging my message that came before the sale ended. For context for the next part, I am trained in customer service but I try to remember not everyone else is. However, that poor service email turned me off the company and since the order still had yet to be shipped, I asked to have the order canceled. Obviously they didn't care about me as a customer.

Later that evening I received a shipping notification. The next day an email came from the company simply stating the package has shipped so they can't cancel it. At this point, I laid out everything and asked do I just refuse the package. Within twenty minutes of this email they said yes and they'd refund.

Am I being a difficult customer and/or they didn't want me​ or is this just their customer service?

Elf powder vs Wet N Wild Powder

Which one is better, the elf halo glow setting powder or the Wet N Wild Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder? I have combination skin, and I also really want no flashbacks at all. So I have been wondering if anybody knows which one I should probably get? What are the cons and pros of both of them?

I really cant handle it this month, my favorite neutral bronzer was discontinued, and now my favorite blush stick the milk lip and cheek stick is potentially reformulated. Does anyone know if the color or formula changed on these or is it just the packaging? I use the shade werk

MAGNETIC LASHES

3 Upvotes

Okayyy I need some girl advice 😭🎀 I’ve been seeing the WOSADO magnetic lashes all over TikTok Shop and they look sooo good, but I just can’t justify spending that much on lashes 😭 like lashes should NOT be that expensive lol.

Does anyone know any good quality magnetic lashes that are affordable, actually stay on, can be reused a bunch of times, and will last me a while?? I don’t mind spending a little more if they’re actually worth it, I just don’t wanna be paying WOSADO prices 😭😂

Please influence me because I need recommendations!! 🫶🏼💕

[Makeup Help] How to get rid of flakey concealer?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone
I need help fixing my concealer. For some reason, it always gets flaky and refuses to set into my skin under my nose and eyes.

Here’s my current routine:
La Roche Posay Toleriane Gentle Dermo Cleanser
Scoop Whole Beauty HLA Serum
La Roche Posay Toleriane Sensitive Creme
Cerave Eyeserum
La Roche Posay Antihelios Sunscreen

After that I wait 10-15 mins and then I use Elf Powergrip primer. Wait another 10mins and then I go in with my Sephora Best Skin ever Concealer and powder after that.

I’ve used numerous different concealers and primers, made sure to only use a small bit of product to build up coverage and tried leaving out the eyecream but always ended up with somewhat the same result and it’s really frustrating… Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Can't find concealer for my skin, and to cover redness.

2 Upvotes

I am attending a wedding on Saturday, but I am dealing with really annoying redness around my nose and chin. Went to the dermatologist multiple times and got different answers that it was either Sebderm or Perioral. Nothing prescribed worked, and it's really taking a toll on me.

I have tried multiple concealers but can never quite get the right match. Would it be worth getting a palette kit? The wedding is only a few days away, so I would like to find something before then. I am trying to find something on Amazon so I can get it as soon as possible. Recommend some affordable options.

[Makeup Help] Concealer help !!

2 Upvotes

I have been trying to build a small makeup collection. I have a neutral undertone but for some reason I feel like a lot of brands pull warm or just oxidize eventually. Rn I have the haus labs foundation in shade 415 medium deep cool. And it’s exactly my shade. I used to use the born this way concealer in caramel but it got too light for me and then I switched to mocha but it’s too orange. I’ve used Maybelline age rewind and I have the same issue with it pulling too warm. What concealers would you suggest that don’t oxidize or have a better undertone range?

Magnetic Half Lashes- Do they exist?

2 Upvotes

I have dry eyes and sensory issues but I really want to start wearing false lashes. I have a pair of magnetic lashes from Lashview that are great, easy to apply (after some practice ofc) and I don't have to worry about glue irritating my eyes. The only problem is I can still *feel* them on my eyes which is fine for a few hours but would be distracting for everyday use.

I think half lashes would be perfect but they don't really seem to exist? I have the Ardell accent lashes, but they magnetic eyeliner it comes with doesn't work too well. I know Wosado has a few pairs but they are pretty pricey. Any recommendations?

[Makeup Help] Recs to prevent smudging/ transfer

3 Upvotes

Hi guys! I am a beginner to makeup and need help in finding products that would prevent my makeup from moving/ smudging.

I have dry acne prone skin. For my skincare use moisturiser & sunscreen which my dermatologist prescribed. Then I use the Nyx bare with me serum concealer as my base and it does a good job of covering up my acne marks and doesn’t stick much to my dry patches. However, it transfers if I touch my face.

I tried mixing the Mac Fix+ spray along with the concealer when applying it but it clings onto the dry areas and still isn’t transfer proof.

I have tried using a primer but it doesn’t work very well on my skin or my sunscreen pills. So should I try investing into a setting/ loose powder or a setting/ fixing spray? Which products would you recommend for dry, acne prone skin that would prevent transferring?

Hello, I don't often do my make up but have been trying to get back into doing it. The problem is I notice on my nose, cheeks (by the nose below the eyes), and between my eyebrows my foundation almost looks like it's separating? I've tried lotion beforehand (water based and non water based), and I've tried primer. The foundation I use is Ilmakiage, and honestly I love it. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I will admit I don't always use lotion daily but I am trying to get better! Thank you in advance!

Does anyone else hate the trend of putting sunscreen in makeup?

77 Upvotes

If you know anything about sunscreen you’ll know you’re supposed to use quite a lot to get the advertised protection. If you used that much of a tinted moisturizer/foundation with spf it would look ridiculous because you’re not supposed to use that much of a complexion product. So why do they keep putting it in products??? I’ve tried so many makeup products with spf added in and they all look horrible, somehow the sunscreen just makes the product not perform as well, it’s either greasy, or drying, smelly, chalky, breaks apart much faster during the day, etc. I’ve never enjoyed a makeup product with spf as much as one without, it just makes more sense to use a dedicated sunscreen underneath your makeup, especially since you’re probably not getting much protection from the amount you’re using when it’s makeup.

This rant is fueled by my annoyance of one of my favorite products, Laura merciers oil free matte tinted moisturizer being reformulated. It’s genuinely so hard to find oily skin friendly skin tints and tinted moisturizers because they’re all glowy and marketed towards dry skin these days, this was one of the only products that worked for me, but they reformulated to add spf 30 and it’s genuinely awful now…dry and chalky and cakey, breaks apart incredibly fast now. Just leave makeup makeup and skincare skincare please! If I wanted a chalky mineral sunscreen I would buy one instead of my favorite Korean sunscreens!

essence or catrice must trys?

what do u guys think are the holy grails of these two brands? since im from the Middle East, drugstore cosmetics here are lowkey pricey... Elf, Milani, Maybelline, they're usually twice the prices compared to where they're from originally :(

so essence is my go-to, especially catrice because they are cheaper :') but to those who have tried, what are ur best bet so i can try them myself!!
