Discussion New Rule Enforcement:Crop Those pics

35 Upvotes

Starting next week cropped photos will be enforced.

For those who don't know there is a new policy in the sub in which standards for photo submissions. Which include cropping the photo at just below the clavicle like a passport photo unless its relevance to the makeup in question. Like a wedding dress.

Here is the ideal standard.

Best practices for better feedback include:

  • take a little time to plan out your photos
  • take photos straight on in a well lit room
  • avoid harsh lighting like flash
  • use soft lighting sources
  • get someone else to take the photos
  • taking additional photo angles 45 degree and profiles
  • tying hair back so it doesnt cover your makeup.

thank you.

I tried out subtle goth makeup (I’m pretty sure it is called that) because I wanted to try out the Y2K Grunge photoshoot aesthetic for my instagram story.

If you have any tips to make any future looks bolder, or even tutorials would be GREATLY appreciated!

I feel pretty today so I just wanted to show off the makeup I ended up doing since I have an interview later. I think it came out pretty good, there's probably one or two things I could change but realistically I think this really suits me

Question Date in a few hours

24 Upvotes

Going to make a quick stop at CVS before my date today and I need a cream bronzer that I can hopefully find there. I work in the city and my apartment is only about 15 minutes from my office, with a CVS pretty much on the way home. I wish I had a Target or Ulta closer because I’d have way more options but they’re both farther away and literally in the opposite direction. I really don’t have much time today because this date was kind of a last minute decision. I prob shouldn’t have agreed to it but it’s been a while since we talked and this would’ve been the third time I canceled or pushed the date back lol so here we are. Any good cream bronzers I should look for at CVS? I just want something that blends easily and gives a natural sun kissed look without getting patchy.

Question Setting spray, please help!!

I can't decide between charlotte tilbury or the one size setting spray. I have bought the one size twice so far but I hate the nozzle it wastes so fast. I heard charlotte tilbury is good but I have oily skin and don't know if it helps lock my powder in. Should I stay with one size or try something else out
(p.s. I'm also broke and don't wanna keep repurchasing 24/7)

Question Survey on Makeup Use and Skin Health for my Bachelor’s Thesis

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m currently working on my Bachelor’s thesis and conducting research on makeup use and skin health. As part of my research, I’ve created a survey to better understand people’s experiences and habits related to makeup and its relationship with their skin.

I would really appreciate it if you could take some time to participate. Your responses will contribute directly to my thesis research.

Survey link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmxp12zEm41HAXtberdNijAjcJMXFyb-fIO7SJ1n1eMc_rSA/viewform?usp=dialog

Thank you so much for your time and for supporting my research! :)

Question i genuinely look like michael jackson when i put on makeup

3 Upvotes

ok so this is kind of a ridiculous problem to have but i have very large but round and not very wide brown eyes. i sometimes line them and add mascara curl my lashes whatever and they end up looking huge but like not in a cute doe eyed way but in a michael jackson way. i also have a very sharp jawline and kind of a sloping nose that look uncomfortably similar to the king of pop. if i contour my nose at all i look like final form mj. i genuinely dont know what to do besides just wear the bare minimum because i look really uncanny whenever i do it. does anyone have any advice im not even sure how to categorise this

Hey so this is me. I don’t really like my natural face and I’m in need of a change. Any ideas that would make me look better ? I don’t really know how to do make up. I just wanna be able to like looking at myself and weirdly enough I feel like I physically don’t match my personality if that makes sense.

0 Upvotes

hello so if it's not obvious already, i'm very new to make up and i'm not the best at drawing. i'm trying to give my brows a makeover but i ended up botching it and making them uneven. i thought maybe makeup could fix the uneveness of my eyebrows and so i went to town with some wet and wild eyebrow pen. my eyebrows looks... just weird at this point, i can't pin point what i'm doing wrong and why the makeup is very different from my eyebrows. i need tips on how to make my brows look even with makeup 😭💔
