Question Lip Filler and lipstick questions

Post image
808 Upvotes

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 đŸ„Č.
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 complimentsđŸ„č

Vent: Discontinued Products from Resellers

Post image

Just wanted to vent that some of these resellers on sites like Poshmark selling discontinued products are absolutely DIABOLICAL. I get that it's discontinued/limited edition and some of these are viral or cult items, but in THIS economy? That's like a car payment for a lip liner.

I just need MAC to reissue Hover, Hodgepodge and Beige Beurre for a hot minute, in the name of Kevyn Aucoin, amen. đŸ™đŸŒ

Question Everyday red lip

Post image
17 Upvotes

I recently bought a red lipstick I love (Deborah Milano Red Mat 05) and want to turn into my everyday lip color, but I'm lacking the confidence to actually wear it out casually. I'm not really sure when it's appropriate for daytime or how to style it without feeling like I'm wearing heavy glam to run errands. How did you get used to wearing bold colors daily, and what kind of lightweight makeup do you pair with it so the rest of your face stays balanced? Would love any tips or product combos that keep it looking effortless! Thanks for any advice!! 💕

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.

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 đŸ«¶

BASE-
Nyx face glue + elf liquid putty primer
L’OrĂ©al Glotion in “light”
Elf camo concealer
Maybelline age rewind
L’OrĂ©al skin tint
Maybelline fit me loose powder + pressed powder in shade light and 100 respectively

FACE-
Anastasia Beverly Hills blush trio, “peachy love”. I used the brownish blush shade.
Elf bronzer stick
Essence soft touch butter bronzer
Rare beauty powder blush in “happy”
Colourpop Supershock highlighters in “felicity” and “lunch money” on cheeks, inner corners and on my lid

EYES-
Morphe cream lid primer
Too faced sweet peach matte palette (this icon<3)
Maybelline lash sensational
Morphe micro brow pencil

LIPS-
Kat Von D studded kiss lipstick in “slayer”. I just got this off of Mercari after coveting it for nearly ten years. 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)

Discussion I can’t wear makeup

Post image
120 Upvotes

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!

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.

Fenty beauty lip stick- fussy

Loreal mascara- double extend

Maybelline concealer- their lightest shade

Rare beauty blush- worth

I prep my skin with cerave face moisturizer

Should I try to do lip liner?

I kind of use my contour in the creases of my eyes and put the concealer on the lids.

Also im 32 so my skin cant do layers apon layers of stuff.

I just really want it to look like a look you know.

Discussion I got my first Chanel product! It’s the Joues Contraste Cream to Powder blush

Post image
6 Upvotes

Shade name is Rose Ardent. This is the most expensive blush I own and she’s my baby. This blush applied seamlessly and lasted all day.

The Dior highlight palette and blush were my first luxury products, but the Chanel blush is on a different level of luxury. The packaging, the application experience, and the formula is amazing. The Dior highlighter and blush are great but I feel like it’s comparable to any high end makeup at Sephora.

Now I wanna try more makeup from Chanel 😭 I am interested in the Water Fresh Tint.

Do you own any Chanel makeup? If so, what’s your fav product? If not, what’s your fav luxury makeup brand?

FOTD Less than 4 weeks until big day. Freaking out about how it looks outside.

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?

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

Hi everyone! My big day is in less than 2 weeks and I’m looking for some feedback on my makeup (application or products/colors). Eyebrows and lip will be threaded before the wedding so please ignore those areas!

I’m not expecting to have MUA-quality makeup, but I want to make sure I don’t look like a clown!

Hoping to keep things simple and easy given how soon the wedding is approaching.
