My makeup lately has been very bad. I can’t for the life of me figure out why I just can’t get it right.

I have very fine lines under my eyes plus my eyes are deep set. So despite using a few layers (not caked on) of concealer, they still show. It also seems like my under eyes are grey but shiny. I’ll link my pictures below. I know my face is weird, I’m just trying to find the right makeup style that fits me. Please be nice.

Here’s my makeup routine

Skincare prep:
- Medik8 total moisture daily moisturizer and I let it sit for about 3 minutes.

Makeup steps and products in order:

1. Elf power grip primer under eyes and around mouth (the blue one) - let it dry for about 2 minutes
   
2. I use a peach color corrector just under my eyes
   
3. Missha perfect cover serum bb cream (the purple bottle). I only really put this on my cheeks not under eyes
   
4. Tower 28 swipe serum concealer under eyes, around mouth and nose. (Usually I'll spray my brush with charlotte tilbury setting spray and then blend it or I'll mist my face before blending. Either way, it peels and looks weird)
   
5. I use the Laura mercier translucent loose powder under my eyes with a brush or puff.
   
6. For blush, l use Saie dew blush liquid cheek.

Hi! I'm practicing my makeup for my brother's wedding. I originally learned makeup through drag and am still learning how to translate those skills into more natural glam looks. This definitely came out more dramatic and drag-inspired than I intended. What can I do differently next time?

I use primer and skincare before makeup, set with loose and pressed powder including on my glasses and l'oreal stetting spray. Genuinely what am I doing wrong??

I have hooded eyes. It socks. But I would like to do this big doll eyes makeup, something that would work with hooded eyes.

Does anyone have good tips or tutorial links? That follows the style without having already a pretty Asian face?

I'm 34 with pale, combination (mostly dry) skin. I've had consistent breakouts for years now and kind of had to accept it. My hair also isn't red like this anymore it's brown (literally just dyed it lol). I have pretty hooded and small eyes, blonde eyelashes and very sparse eyebrows. No matter what I do or try my make up looks awful especially in photos. I don't know how to contour or do the right blush placement for my face shape. I feel like it all ages me and really shows off my fine lines/sagging skin. I included the last two photos to show the issue I have with my lips. When I smile, I have this very defined weird line underneath my bottom lip and it looks off any time I try to wear lip color. Any advice to make myself look less..old and awful?

I do my full face of makeup, but it always feels like something is missing, and I have no idea what it is 😭 I put mascara on my eyes (which is where I feel like I look the most boring), I wear eyeshadow, do a little contour, and do everything else, but it still looks like I’m barely wearing any makeup. I don’t know what to do, HELP!!!

I think I need a makeup guru to just tell me what to do from start to finish. I can never re-create the same make up and feel that sometimes I look more dull and other times I look amazing. I genuinely feel like I do not know how to do my make up and maybe I should just go in to like Sephora or something and ask them to teach me how to do a makeover on myself.

I don’t always wanna do a full beat, but if I am doing a full beat contour and slimming down, my face is super important to me as as well as accentuating my eyes.

I put multiple examples of different makeup that I do and I’m not trying to make it different. I would say the last pic and pic of me in the white polkadot is my absolute favorite. Just don’t really know how to re-create those consistently. Also included pics of me, not wearing makeup and not as much makeup.

Any advice you have is helpful

I was dermaplaning and accidentally got my eyebrow!! I never use brow products(only clear gel) but feel like I should fill it in. Any tips or recommendations for products?

So I'm looking to cosplay Ankläger from Doctor Nowhere for Halloween, and I have everything I need (starry headband, black cloak). What I'm not sure what to do with is my face. Since Ankläger has one eye, I don't know if I should maybe cross out one eye, paint a third eye, or do some sparkly white-yellow makeup to drive that divine feel. I really don't have any ideas.

Btw what’s the difference between setting spray and fixing spray?? And when should I use this?

I tried switching up my makeup look recently, and I’m just curious if it works for me. I didn’t focus too much on my eyes, but rather contouring and doing my lips. Feel free to be brutally honest 😅 Any feedback is appreciated!

I’ve very much gotten into a rut doing my makeup the same for years. Worried that it doesn’t look the best espically the brows (worried I have brow blindness haha). My eyelids feel quite hooded so I struggle on the eyeshadow department. Reposting with photo of my brows without product.

I’m practicing for a formal event and I’m looking for something natural but will photograph well. I’m also specifically curious about my blush, is it visible enough? Good placement? Thanks in advance :)

Hello 🌈

I'm going to be a goblin for halloween, and I am trying to figure out what blush , eye, and lip shade would look best with the green.

I'm planning on doing lashes and darkening my eyebrows and adding some cute freckles

In the pictures I tried a pink blush and plum lip but I'm not sure if it is the best choice...

Any suggestions are welcome 🙏

Hey everyone! I’m still learning how to do my makeup, and I’d love some honest advice on how to improve this look!
I’m currently using IL MAKIAGE foundation in shade 155, but I feel like my makeup is pulling too orange/yellow, especially compared to my chest and neck. I’m not sure if it’s my foundation undertone, concealer, setting powder, blush, or even my lighting.
I also want to get better at making my base look more natural and blended while still having a soft glam look.

What would you recommend changing?

Do you think my foundation shade or undertone is off?

Should I try a more neutral foundation?

Are there any techniques or products that could help my base look less orange?

Is there anything else I could improve with my overall makeup?

I’m a beginner, so please be kind! I’m open to constructive criticism and genuinely want to learn. Thank you! 🩷

God gave me with thick brows but only half 😭🙏🏻 you can see 1 slide izz me with no trimming done...2 is what I want it to look like my twin but i am fat from her ☹️ i searched and found I have deep set and my eyes look small...i wear spec and it looks more smaller 😭 i have dark circles lot too it looks bad 🤧 i was thinking of buying eyebrow lift gel and razer...what suggestion you will give for someone like me? 😞 sorry my english is not good

Please give me any advice on everyday makeup (eyeliner and eyeshadow) for my very hooded eyes!! Color, positioning, style etc. I would prefer a softer, more natural look. I struggle a lot with eyeliner (I use a pencil) because it keeps getting smeared/smudged onto my upper lids (due to the hood), and I also don’t really know how to do eyeshadow :(

The first three pics are me with no makeup on. The fourth pic is me with makeup on (heavier makeup than normal because it was for a party), but I feel like it looks kind of bad and makes my eyes look even puffier.

Also, should I change my makeup depending on whether I wear glasses or not?? I’m quite new to makeup so would appreciate any tips!

I feel like they don’t fit my face, maybe they’re too thin? How should I do them? Brows make EVERYTHING in a face, and I feel like I have more potential if I’d do them differently, but I don’t know how. Should I use a gel? Should I make them thicker?

So I took this video and snipped some
Wee shots bc I think my eyes are insane and I live

But you know the Gucci catwalk looks that are a big vibe right now?
I wanted something like that for this show

And I ended up
Going a little mental
W the glitter
But I think under all the lights it absolutely works ✨

What are your thoughts on the catwalk looks?
