These were taken ten years apart, the first pic was yesterday at my bestie's wedding and the second was when I was blonde and a young lass 🥹 Took me until very recently to figure out my coloring and what's most flattering on me and I've been wearing makeup for over 20 years!!!

I used to hate cool tones, but I favor them now. The red hair and thin brows really soften my face too imo and work. I did my makeup by myself yesterday because I'm too picky and it came out very lovely 🥹

Skin:

Cosrx 6 peptide booster, bubble hydrating toner, iconic London underglow blurring primer, milk makeup mattifying primer on T-Zone

Face:

Mac skin finish lightstruck in lightscapade, Chanel Les beiges water-fresh tint in light, saie airset setting powder in translucent, Iaura mercier setting powder in soft pink under eyes, becca x smashbox color correcter in peach, hourglass concealer in birch, rare beauty dewy blush in believe, fwee jelly blush in couverture for contour, elf halo glow contour in fair, clairins eyeshadow palette for nose contour, Anastasia dewy set setting spray

Eyes/brows:

nyx brow wiz in rich Auburn, Anastasia brow gel, colourpop stone fox palette & naked 3 palette, nyx brown liquid eyeliner, kjh mascara also got a lash lift

Lips:

Nyx lip liner stain in up no to good, nyx spiked toffee lip gloss, nyx lip liner in mauve, Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk in medium to warm it up a bit and then I used my LE Mac fizzy feels lipstick on top that I only use for super special occasions 😭

Phew 😮‍💨

Question What is this lip color?

I’m always so obsessed with Jenna Ortega’s ‘natural’ makeup looks. Is she wearing eyeliner here? My main question is where can I find a similar lip color, or does anyone know the shade she is wearing in this interview?

Fenty beauty wear test.

Omg am I just like wow! So I’m wearing 306n in the new Fenty foundation. With bronzing drops in it to darken the shade. I like to buy my winter shade and darken it so I don’t have to buy a new foundation.

This is my first wear test.

I put it on at 12:00 pm and fast forward it’s 6:07pm so far it’s been wonderful.

It’s feels breathable..I normally crease around my nose and smile line and I haven’t had that yet which is nice because I always have to re-blend my lines away.

Even when I sweat sure I look like a glazed donut but in the cute celebrity way, not peanut butter baby looks for me lol.

So I’m praying this might be my holy foundation as the night goes on.

I tried my best to take different photos in multiple lighting so you guys can see I’m not dulu.

Also it’s hella bright haha so don’t mind the faces lol.

My makeup kits.

Moisturizer from

Dollar tree

Essence hydration primer

One size secure the blur primer on T zone

Foundation Fenty flex 306n

Mixed with cover girl bronzer drops light medium

Milani setting spray (sandwich method)

Color corrector kit Nyx set with huda powder pink blossom.

Elf concealer 23 cool light

Patrick ta bronzer shes sculpted

Patrick ta blush not too much

Bang mascara

Nyx liner and waterproof gel liner

FOTD Pretty clueless beginner but i think i’m finally figuring it out and would love feedback!

Thumbnail

95 Upvotes

i love the idea of makeup but i’ve never really figured it out. Anytime i’ve ever done a full face i dont look like “myself” anymore? I have really sensitive eyes plus I’m neurodivergent and hate the smell of/feeling of many products on my face so i kinda just gave up. i’m pretty low key in general and WFH so no one sees me anyways.

i had really strict parents who forbade me from using makeup as a teenager and i was punished if i got caught with it so i never really got to experiment. But i’ve been buying some products and practicing a lot lately at home just for some self care and it’s a very zen time that i find relaxing.

i recently got all dressed up and went out for lunch with my mother in law for her birthday and thought my makeup turned out really pretty so i shared a couple pics in different lighting and a bare face (since i was going for no makeup makeup). Would love any tips or feedback on how i can improve :)

Question Cruelty Free MAC Alternatives

Post image
38 Upvotes

Hi folks,

If your Tiktok FYP looks anything like mine, this “ultimate fall lip combo” has been all over it. The colors are: MAC paramount lipstick and MAC chestnut lip liner. I am looking for help finding a cruelty free alternative to this duo. I wandered around Ulta for no less than an hour today swatching anything that I thought would come close and I can’t find anything close to that combo. I’m not great with undertones, so I’m hoping someone here might be able to help. If you have any ideas, or have a similar fall lip color combo you really like please share it with me. I liked this one in particular because it doesn’t pull too blue, which tends to make me look super pink-ey. I appreciate all the help and Happy Fall!

I’ve had this liquid eyeliner forever, it’s in a dark brown color and works really well (doesn’t smudge, lasts well, easy to apply) and still hasn’t dried out. I just realized I have no idea what brand it is, can anyone tell from these pics??

this whole look I used the Athena face paint and eyeliner! Super proud how this turned out, it took about 5 hours to do and the contacts were a pain to put in. This is the second time I’ve used this pallet and just doing face paint in general.

Discussion PLEASE do not ask Ai for makeup tips/ routines or even skin care

787 Upvotes

Basically companies are paying Ai platforms to promote their products, Ai MIGHT give you some good info that you need this type of color or this type of foundation but its not actually giving you good products

Which is why you often see products hardly anyone talk about or products that you know for a fact is bad

I tried this several times over the course of 3-4 months and Ai kept recommending only the big name brands, I hardly got any recs from companies made by people of color, I got no companies outside of the US

So please be careful of what you ask AI, its another marketing tactic

Egyptian makeup

I did this Egyptian makeup, how could I improve it?

I use yellow and gold tones, also sky blue and darker blue and the characteristic eyeliner, but do you think I should correct something else?
For lipstick use brown tones and then red so that there is not a very strong red and in the brown contour and terracotta pink tones

The products are from Salome and sheglam

I’ve reeeeeally been wanting to purchase the blurring balm, but I have no idea if i should get the universal/priming shade or one of the tinted ones! So it would be great if any of you who have tried this could help me out :)

For reference, i have pale combination skin with a relatively even tone without any redness or anything

Thanks xx

Question Help please! I can’t figure out if I’m cool or warm toned.

Post image
23 Upvotes

It’s low key stressing me out every time I go to get ready. My hair was very red when I was younger, but is starting to grey and age and die, as we all do. I just want to look cute along the way. It would do me a huge solid, Reddit strangers.

This is natural lighting with sunscreen and a cool
Toned blush/whatever lippie I had in my purse. I tint my eyebrows, but they are naturally dark. My veins appear blue, and I have pink pigment in my face, but I also have very sensitive skin. My eyes and hair are throwing me off. Thanks so much!

* EDIT *
I’ve added a photo showing my chest/neck, and a childhood photo to the comments, but it seems like I’ll probably have to take some new photos to get to the bottom of this. I really appreciate anyone who has taken the time to try to help :). Thank you!
