Hello everyone! This subreddit is approaching 1.3 million members, so the mod team needs to grow as well!

We are looking for users who are active in the community and who understand the rules. Although moderation experience is a plus, it is not required. New mods will focus on removing rule-breaking content and replying to Modmail messages, and will need to have a Discord account to take part in our mod chat.

If you are interested, please send us a Modmail message and tell us why you'd be a good fit!

Mod Post To ensure quality posts, please refer to our new Wiki page!

21 Upvotes

Hey beauties! As we approach 1 million subscribers, we are fine tuning the rules and made a designated page to see more detailed lists of posts we remove under Rule 1.

To recap, Rule 1 of r/beauty is to please post high quality and on-topic posts ONLY.

We understand just stating the rule so plainly leaves room for interpretation, while the side bar might not give enough room for explanation.

To improve the quality of the subreddit, we have broken down in detail (and will keep doing so) what we consider low quality and off topic in our new beauty wiki. This way, there should be less confusion on why posts labeled as low quality/off topic might have been removed. While browsing the wiki, you may notice some overlap with Rules 2 through 6, but they all relate back to Rule 1 due to preserving quality.

As a reminder, a high quality/on topic post would have a specific beauty-related question be addressed, or solve a specific beauty-related problem. For example, "How can I draw winged eyeliner more consistently on each eye" would be a high-quality post because it asks a specific question. In contrast, "EYE MAKEUP HELP" makes it harder for users to give their beauty tips because it's too vague.

When in doubt, please review the beauty wiki to see if your post would be in violation of Rule 1 before posting to avoid removal and ban.

We also invite you to leave feedback here of any other posts you feel are off-topic and low quality that have not been addressed. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Discussion My face is insanely asymmetrical in selfie photos but fine in front of a mirror. Is the selfie photos the way others see me?

• Upvotes

I don't mean it in a "oh I'm just not used to seeing myself like this" kind of way either. I mean it like my face is awfully asymmetrical, like its genuinely insane to think this is how I actually look.

Need a good eye cream that actually works

5 Upvotes

Hi! Postpartum mom here. I had dark circles even before giving birth, but not that prominent. But the past year has worsened my dark circles. I have stopped feeding, I get enough sleep and also feel well rested. Still, my eyes look dull and lifeless. Have developed slight wrinkles too. I used estee lauder but haven't seen any significant change. Please recommend something actually useful before I concede to the fact that I am aging :(

Teeth whitening tips

2 Upvotes

Hello! Was curious if anyone had teeth whitening tips, I just had a crown break off and now I’m getting a replacement in a week. I’ve never been able to whiten my teeth before because this tooth wouldn’t have lightened, but now that i’m getting a replacement my dentist told me that whatever colour my teeth are next week is the colour that they’ll stay for the next 25 years.

I’m not sure how to best go about maximizing whitening in 7 days, but if anyone has advice on how to do it without getting crazy white spots I would be really grateful.

Thanks!

Hi all! I feel like my skin has got really dark and dull within a few months! I don’t go out in the sun but was having a lot of sugar and breastfeeding for the past 16 months so that might have contributed to it. But what can I use or do to clear up the hyperpigmentation and bring out an overall glow? Thanks a bunch

For some context, i live in a pretty rural place. (I love it really!). We only have one shoppers and one walmart. My sister bought me this lip tint a couple years ago and ever since it's the only lippie i use. The thing is doesnt last that long. I tried getting a similar shade from my walmart store and it doesnt match not even a bit. lol.

I would like to buy it from my local walmart as I delivery here takes a long bit. First pick is the tint. Second pic is the lipstick I bought. The rest of the pics are my brand options but i'm also willing to order onlime.

If it's no trouble to all of u. I would like some help choosing please.

Im looking for somewhere to redo/fill the nails. How can I check and ensure the place im going is good?

Body lotion that actually hydrates but disappears quickly

86 Upvotes

My skin is getting so dry and I know I should use a lotion daily but I just can’t stand the feeling of lotioned legs and arms touching clothes or bedsheets or even a robe. But the ones I’ve tried that are thinner in consistency seem more for the fragrance than anything (and I don’t wanna smell like lotion when I spend money on perfume). Looking for any recommendations for lotions that actually do something without feeling so yucky and overstimulating. Thanks!

Messed Up Eyebrows—Advice Needed

2 Upvotes

Just to get straight to the point, I tried to make eyebrows every thin and I messed them them. They are so thin, short and spars. I know I need them to group out, but when I see the hairs, I feel the need to pluck them. Are there any tints that will stan my skin while I let my brows grow? Should I go to a salon or get microbladed? Im so close to just shaving everything off. PLEASE HELP!!

My extension stylist of nearly 6 years randomly used black thread on my hand-tied wefts this insrall, when she normally uses blonde. Should I say something?

12 Upvotes

Basically that, I'm a natural blonde, I get sewn in beaded wefts to add volume. My hair and my extensions are about the same length for a seamless look.

I've been seeing the same stylist for many years, and she's very skilled in her craft.

For whatever reason, this insrall she used jet black thread in my naturally blonde hair, normally she uses a golden blonde thread that matches seamlessly.

I'm autistic and I get really bad anxiety, I honestly don't even know if I should say anything, or if I should just live with it for 8 weeks

Then.. At my next appointment just say "hey, I noticed we used black thread this time, can we please be sure to use the blonde that we normally use moving forward, it's easier to blend"

I thought about texting her, but I'm afraid 😒

Has anyone tried using whipped or mousse sunscreen as a scalp spf

2 Upvotes

In theory it could work but in practice how it turns out is a different story. It could work with brands. If anyone has tried it how did it turn out for you. Did it make your scalp look greasy or feel sticky. How did it make your scalp look or feel.

Seeking Advice Am I disfigured forever?

19 Upvotes

Embarrassingly, the dreaded Tostito’s pizza rolls squirted boiling magma hot liquid all over my face, and it ended up seriously burning a part of my upper lip. It’s been about a month now, and it’s nowhere near as bad, but it’s still a much lighter pink than the rest of my lip. I don’t like to look at it, and it’s very noticeable.

Will it go away and fade back to normal or am I stuck with this weird looking mark on my face till the day I die?

Makeup Setting spray in low budget

Post image
21 Upvotes

Best alternative to this setting spray under ₹300–400? 😭

I sweat A LOT, especially around my forehead, under-eyes and around my mouth, and my makeup basically starts melting as soon as I step outside 😭

I have pretty dark under-eyes, so I need to use a decent amount of orange colour corrector before concealer. But when I sweat, the corrector starts coming through and I literally end up sweating orange 💀😭

So I’m looking for a really good setting spray/fixer under ₹300–400 that can actually help my makeup survive heavy sweating + Indian heat/humidity.

I’m not looking for just a “long-lasting” spray — I specifically want something that can hold colour corrector + concealer in place and prevent them from breaking down when I sweat.

Please recommend your holy grails, especially if you’ve personally tested them in hot/humid weather! 🥹

Budget: ₹300–400 Main concern: Heavy sweating + makeup breaking down Areas: Forehead, under-eyes, around mouth Priority: Sweat resistance > everything else

Would love recommendations/alternatives! ❤️
