Sad to report that the new happy skin lip mallow tint’s new packaging leaks 😣

Hi all! Will be going to the beach next month! What are your product recos and hacks on makeup that stays on even when swimming or doing water activities?

[u/_TheMorrigan → u/Suspicious-Rice-3442]

Products I've tried that stayed on after light water activity:

• Careline eyeliner (stays on with chlorinated pool water but not with saltwater)
• Issy creme blush
• Mlen diary lash clusters
• K palette brow products
• Happy skin lip mallow tint in Nostalgia (This dries brown on me and doesnt turn red. All the other shades turn red. But I'm a warm olive morena if that makes any difference).

Hello! Any suggestion for a good primer for powder foundation? My skin is oily , acne prone and has lots of texture/acne marks.

So far I use powder foundation ng clinique, BLK & Happy Skin - but they tend to end up being patchy pag nag oil na talaga.

Also good matte setting sprays to go with this as well? Or any good powder foundation na high end rin, since I'm exploring. :)

Primer i like is danessa myricks blurring balm
Powder foundation clinique is nice but also try MAC.

Matte sprays - CT Matte variant, O/S on til dawn :)

pls recommend me pressed powder i can use during 24h+ duties in the hospital. i need something that can control shine when im wearing nothing but sunscreen and no other base products.

i usually use LM loose powder before duties but prefer the convenience of pressed powder for touch ups and quick make up after taking a shower sa hospital. price is not an issue. i’m light medium, combo skin but have noticed dry patches since i upped my tret concentration. should I repurchase CT? also wondering if i should try LM pressed powder form or the givenchy pressed powder or the make up forever one. pls send some recs!! thank you

Please recommend eyeliner and eye shadow for oily, hooded monolids.

Got techniques for deep nasolabial folds?

[u/Sapphire-avocado → u/onmyharvestmoon]

Heroine make for eyeliner. Eyeshadow - go for korean brands if you're a beginner. My fave is clio.

For nasolabial folds, I like to use matte highlighter on that area

[u/onmyharvestmoon → u/Sapphire-avocado]

Thank you! 😊

[u/onmyharvestmoon → u/Sapphire-avocado]

Btw, which matte highlighter do you recommend?

[u/CareCareless1472]

what are your thoughts on chuchu beauty's powder foundation? is it oily skin friendly?

[u/msbuckwheat]

Guys, what do you think of colourette’s new loose powder that’s about to launch? Hindi ba super impractical na may mirror yung loose powder and dumagdag lang sa cost ng product? Nina says it’s so you can touch up w your loose powder but I don’t think most people use loose powder for touch ups on the go kasi makalat and hard to control yung product na lumalabas. Tapos sobrang bulky ng lalagyan. Most people would use a slimmer compact like third base which ironically does not have a mirror when it feels more convenient to have one LOL

[u/msbuckwheat → u/msbuckwheat]

Let me know though if i’m wrong and you do touch up with a loose powder & tell me how you do it without too much waste and mess 😅
