I posted yesterday and overwhelmingly the feedback was that my brows need done. They’ve been shaped and thinned. What do you think now?

Also, I just wanted to thank all of you who commented. I live in a southern state so it isn’t always the most friendly. I received so much support and validation yesterday, you will never know how much that meant 💕

I haven’t been the most confident in my current makeup looks and today my coworker said my makeup today was “scary”, not sure what that means. I have on concealer, blush, mascara, and eyebrow tint. Is there a way I can do my makeup that compliments my hair and eyes and not make me look scary? What looks should I be going for? Thank you!

Edit: Omigosh guys you are all so sweet!!! Thank you for the amazing and thorough advice everyone, I’m defo looking into perhaps a different color for my hair (I just recently toned it so I don’t want to change it yet) as well as my makeup placement. My coworker is just a blunt person and didn’t have ill intent, but I appreciate everyone for sticking up for me lol. Thank you guys, I shall have an update soon.

I’ve been doing my makeup practically the same since hs. Wondering if there’s anything else I can do to improve?

Ik my contour looks a bit muddy and doesn’t tend to stay even with setting spray and my aegyo-sal also applies unevenly more often than not. Hoping for some tips to help with these too. TIA!

Ok, so I have just seen this happen more and more as I've aged post pandemic (F34 now), but my face has gotten increasingly unsymmetrical. In the mirror, my brows (which are currently filled using ELF micro-fine brow pencil every day since I have barely any brow) look fine, but photos look insane. I've not been able to do eyeliner because of my eye shapes changing so differently, and I have to overdraw my lips to make them look symmetrical. My eye bags are getting to the point that I can't cover them at all.

I'm genuinely at a loss on what to do anymore. Makeup used to be so simple for me, but it's just getting almost impossible. Please help?!

(First photo is light through the window, the second is the mirror light with my hand used to bounce the light due to it being darker on that side of the room)

Usually I only wear mascara and lipstic :/ I feel like heavier makeup doesn’t really suit me. What do you think? :)

I’ve been doing my make up like this for about 5 years now. I want to try something different, I don’t even know if this suits my face shape because I’ve been so used to doing my make up like this. And should I switch to cool tones? For some reason AI told me cool tones would suit me better, but I’m not sure.

Please, any tip is helpful!

And thank you for reading, if someone didn’t told you today: you’re beautiful and worthy 🌷

Hi!! First time poster for makeup tips. I’m going to a wedding next week and wanted to achieve a 60’s inspired eye makeup look (inspo photos attached). I don’t have the biggest lid space but I can make it work.

What are some recommendations you have to achieve this? Any specific lashes I should buy?? I feel like that’s the most important part…

Thank yewwwwww

**zoom in on first photo to see the eyeshadow crust in question*

I posted on here about a year ago looking for help with my blindness and everyone was SOO HELPFUL 🤍✨

However, im back again to see what I might need to improve on. AS WELL AS help with the eyeshadow crustiness.

So far I have :
Switched eyeshadow primers/setting sprays
Checked to make sure my eyeshadow was not expired
Used a hydrating concealer in place of a primer
& MOISTURIZED BEFORE STARTING MY MAKEUP**

BTW - I dont think any of these photos have a filter on them but I also can’t remember lolz

hi queens, just wanted to share how amaaazing my makeup looks even after an entire day of being one (this is my makeup around 11/12 hours of being on)

I used the danessa myricks setting spray and it literally gave me the smoothest most matte base ever. I have a slight glow after not retouching for so long but it was actually magic in a bottle 🫶🫶

products used

danessa Myricks blurring balm powder
Kylie skin tint
Hourglass concealer
nars bronzer in Laguna
Patrick Ta blush in she’s seductive
Refy brow tint gel
Natasha denona eyeshadow palette in glam
makeup forever anywhere caffeine lip liner
Pat McGrath lipstick in hello Venus
Danessa liquid blurring balm setting spray

Kinda feeling the blues at the moment x

Less nose contour, no freckles, no under eyeshadow

I never really did makeup before but i really want to try. I want to emphasize my eyes more but unsure what to do and which colours to use. Usually i use brown mascara, brown eyeliner on my upper lash line, some light eyeshadow and top it off with bronze eyeshadow stick. Many people told me i should use more than that and i agree (i just don't what to use and how)

Thank you all for the suggestions on my hair and makeup. I am learning to live with the changes, but I love it! People think I got a perm, which I did not. My hair just does this because it's so fine, when it's cut short and given a little love, it'll curl like nobody's business. (I took this picture in the bathroom light. No filters, nothing.) I feel like a rock star!

Should I let the bangs get a little longer? I think so? What say y'all?

Love you!

just getting into makeup!! i know your undertone matters a ton, but idk cause i have like purple or maybe even pink and blue veins but i feel like there’s some green in there too?

buuuuuuuut it’s date night and I’m feelin pretty good about myself and I kinda love my makeup look tonight sooo 💅🏾💕

I’ve been so into muted glossy makeup lately. That elegant, not extra look just hits.
Muted makeup can look dull real fast if the glow is off, so the gloss part actually matters a lot.
I’m picky about lip shine. I tried a bunch of glossy lips and could not find that exact muted vibe I wanted. Most of them went too bright, pulled cool pink, or the shine just disappeared.
The one I landed on is Peripera Mood Glowy Tint in the muted line. This one’s the winner so far.
The shine lasts over 2 hours as long as I don’t eat or mess with it.
I got 13 Mood Queen first and liked it so much I also grabbed the muted pink 12 Campus Queen.

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace some makeup brushes. I have the following brushes now (purchased roughly 15 years ago):

Sigma E25

Sigma E40

Sigma E15

Sigma E45

Sigma F40

Sigma P80

Sigma F05

Big fluffy brush good for translucent powder (brand/model unknown)

Sephora smudge brush 11

I've been super happy with the quality and durability of these brushes. I'm mostly looking for replacements for the eyeshadow brushes from sigma, but am considering replacing the others as well depending on the price.

Anyways, like I said, my brushes were purchased quite a long time ago and if memory serves, when I bought the Sigma brushes the price/quality felt like a much better deal compared to big brands like MAC than they do now.

I was wondering if anyone has brand recs for similar deals nowadays? I read that Real Techniques has good brushes that blend eye shadow well but for a much more reasonable price. I haven't used their brushes myself, though.

Thanks in advance for any advice!!

What can I do to stop this?

I have dry skin but big pores and forehead wrinkles and eyes when my Botox starts wearing off. So matte looks make me look like the crypt keeper but glowy emphasizes every pore, acne icepick scar, and wrinkle.

I'm already on Tretinoin, azelaic acid, Microneedle every month, spf, laser once or twice a year, Botox every 3-5 months. Safe to say this is as good as it's gonna get.

How the F*CK are we doing our makeup now?? 💀🤬

Products/routines in particular are appreciated (IE your skin prep, plus base products including primer foundation concealer powder etc).

I have olive undertone but I'm fair to medium (in the summer). Because of my skin tone I don't really read as fair, but when colour matching I am definitely on the light side.

Most contours look warm and too orange on me, more like a bronzer. Then some are so cool toned it looks grey and kind of muddy. I love a no-makeup makeup look so it's a struggle.

*Does anyone have recommendations for a neutral tone contour?* I prefer powder but open to suggestions for the right colour.

I used to love a Kevin Aucoin one but I forget the name and can't find it anymore, as well as the shade Puppy by Sephora eyeshadow but they stopped making it 😩
