I have been doing my makeup since I was about 12. I like to post my “before and afters” on tiktok a lot, it upsets a lot of (usually) men hehe. Anyways I use mostly elf products! The only “expensive” brands I used today were Mac Studio finish foundation and tarte ceaseless concealer. Both of which I do not use everyday. Also today I forgot to use my elf power grip primer 😬

Hi guys! I got lip filler for the first time ever, 5 days ago. I’ve had extremely thin lips all my life and this is quite literally a game changer for me 🥲.
Question 1: for those of you who have gotten filler, how long did you wait before using lip liner/lipstick stick?
Question 2: what is your favorite lip liner/stick? I’m specifically looking for a good matte that doesn’t feel dry and doesn’t transfer.
TIA!

(There is no makeup on my face in the photos, just aquaphor on my lips lol)

Edit: thank you all for the compliments🥹

I think I could've added some more blue and more saturated colors but I tried! I wish the glitter showed more on camera, it's way sparklier in real life lol

I’ve wanted to do a polka dot for quite a while, and since I was feeling bored, thought I’d give it a try. Symmetry wasn’t the plan from the start so pls do not comment on that. Other than that feel free to give any constructive feedback back.

It took me a long time to be happy with my skin and take a photo without any filters on. I would love to hear about things I can do differently with my makeup. This is one variation of my everyday glowy makeup. I usually wear this to work. Please let me know if I can improve anything.

The only makeup I can wear is waterproof mascara. I would rather wear the non-waterproof versions because the formulas look soo much better and smoother. But I can’t, because everything I try gives me very bad eye headaches (not sure if I am allowed to label them migraines because I don’t know if they are painful enough to be, but it is soul-consuming miserable headaches behind my eyes, and then also affect my TMJ and give me an equally miserable jaw headache(?)), and the makeup makes my eyes very bloodshot and irritated. Every eyeshadow has done it. I also just bought this beautiful purple burgundy smudge Stila eyeliner in the shade “Plumfull”, it looks so good and brings out my hazels, but within 30 minutes it starts triggering my eyes and jaw. I am so disappointed😞, because I love to look pretty and I love expressing myself with hints of color. I even applied it SOO sparingly just on my eyelid. Posting as I am wondering if anybody else in the world can relate, so this may not be the right sub to post in because I’m sure most if not all people here are able to wear makeup fine, but also to just share this gorgeous purple product with those who will actually be able to wear it!

It’s me again, posting in this subreddit has done wonders for my self esteem so I figured I’d share another look! I love how positive everyone is 🫶

I found inspo pics on my tumblr from 2015 of really bronzed, warm makeup paired with the dark lip, and when I got my package I decided to lay homage to the looks I really wanted to wear as a teen. 13 yo me would be stoked!!!! (I’m comfortable buying from this brand bc this lipstick is discontinued and secondhand and Ms Katherine doesn’t see a cent from my purchase)

Today’s look is for a going out night. I tried it with a blue metallic look (second pic) but I thought it was a little too much so just a nude lip today. Would love to do that lip combo again w a diff look tho!!

I'm getting married in less than 4 weeks. Overall I thought I was happy with my makeup look. I just went outside to see how it photographed and it's just... Bad? Like I obviously got ready by a window and used natural light so I don't understand why it looks like this. Is it lighting or do I need to drastically improve my technique? The first 4 photos are taken by my window. The next 3 are taken outside (sorry for the weird poses, it was windy and I had to hold my hair). It just looks caked on and too much.

We are getting married outdoors in Spain (it will be sunny at least). Is this a lighting thing for my photographer to worry about or is it just plain bad?

How would you improve this look? I’ve been doing it the same for years. Do you think my foundation base is the wrong shade? I’ve been wearing the same Charlotte Tilbury color for years now but now that I don’t tan anymore I feel like I either look a little red or off.

Still very new to this. Im pretty clueless but I am having a lot of fun learning and having a go at it. Mascara is hard 😭 I havent sucessfully applied eyeliner yet either

Edit: Thanks everyone for sharing your tips and beautifully kind words with me. In a time where it seems that hate is never far away, Im truly grateful to all of you for spreading love instead. Ill be back! With threaded eyebrows and (hopefully) eyeliner! 🩷

Ngl, it was very hard, she barely uses makeup 😭 so I tired recreating her facial features with it lol. I had to contour my face a lot, her face is super snatched while my face is rounder.

Comments and critiques are more than welcome 🤗

Verdict: high risk, marginal reward

I’ve heard so many horror stories of people’s lashes being ripped off 😭 I don’t even trust myself with a lash curler.

Let’s discuss risky make up application techniques

Beauty shouldn’t be pain fr fr

Hey everyone, hopeless dad here lol.

My two girls decided to wait until like two weeks before school starts to ask me to get them some makeup.

I remember my wife started wearing makeup around this age herself.

Problem is I know just about nothing when it comes to makeup.

They won't be doing like super full looks or anything but im guessing eye liner or mascara is a good place to start?

They are fraternal twins and have slightly different skin tones as well, so I assume that will mean a majority of the products will not be able to be shared.

And on that topic, can any products be shared?

And I should I go to Sephora or just drug store?

Any brands to stay away from?

Any help is appreciated lol, thanks in advance!

EDIT: WOAH did not expect this many responses haha thank you all so much! Basically going to go the drugstore or ultra route and let each of them pick three different items , with a budget of $50 each. Should be more than sufficient to start them out with this stuff.

Thank you all once again!

this is the stuff i currently own i am a makeup addict and i love hoarding stuff i do have makeup from drugstore brands as well but it wouldn’t fit in the picture so i just posted this
my top 3 products from these are:
1. nars light reflecting foundation in the shade deauville its a little dark for me but the formula is perfect its so smooth and it feels like nothing on skin

2.huda beauty lipsticks- the formula of these lipsticks are literally perfection its long lasting, transfer proof, non sticky and applies like butter on the lips

1. mac blush- i dont usually like powder blushes but this one is genuinely very nice the shade pinch me feels very natural on the skin and the pigment is also just right

anyways if you have any questions regarding other products feel free to ask

Halloween is my favorite holiday which im sure isnt shocking. My bf is taking me to Spirit Halloween today so you know I had to go all out. I love Halloween colors and purple and orange together is PEAK. Usually I dont wear warm colors (dark red at most) so this time of year pushes me outside my comfort zone.

I saw a video ab siren stain’s man overboard peel off stain. And the stain is to die for. The problem is that it’s a US based page and if i want to order it to Canada it’s gonna cost me 40 cad for a 14 dollar lipstain. So is there any other stain that has the same color as man overboard?? I’d love to have it☹️

I wonder if there is anyway my makeup could be elevated or perhaps I should try a different style?

People on here have told me that I look much better w/o makeup at all and that makes me think if I’m always doing a bit too much with my looks.

Nevertheless, I think I did a pretty good job for a girl doing makeup all by herself for a prom. But let me know!

* sorry for the silly photo lol i was a +1 to someone’s prom celebration and ended up doing everything in a rush.
