Just FYI, I noticed tonight that almost all Essence makeup is 30% off on Amazon tonight. I love several of these products and some have even won Allure awards. $3.49, award-winning, full size mascara or lipstick? Yes please! (No, I’m not affiliated but this is a great deal!)
I have three cats. I adore. Practically my children. My problem is that I’m an oily girl.
I’m also audhd. I have strong triggers that send me into a spiral. One of them being, cat fur on my face. I cannot put into words how bothersome it is.. the CIA could torture me by putting a cat in front a fan.
The fastest way is getting tweezers and a mirror but that’s not always appropriate or available.
A quick fix is grabbing the ends of my own hair and sweeping it across my face to relieve the itch temporarily and rarely, dislodge the strand.
Usually tho, I’m left randomly pinching over my face in attempts to grab it without ruining my makeup.
does anyone else have any tips or quick relief to this problem?
my makeup that looked flawless during application is all of a sudden highly contrasted, splotchy, and unblended. I genuinely have no idea how this happens or whats causing it please help!!!
In the early days of my marriage, married life was quite a struggle. We barely paid rent or ate three square meals at the time. In those days, I would scroll through Alibaba and show him things I love to buy, he would always tell me to give him time. That hunger phase continued until my husband got a call from a company, and he was interviewed for a job. After some weeks we got an email that he got the job and he should start immediately. The paycheck he was receiving was more than an upgrade for us. Everything changed for us, we moved to a new apartment, changed our children schools, and even bought a new car. However, the job came at a price. He had to go countless business trips constantly which could last for a month or more sometimes. We were so desperate so we had no choice but to give in to the terms of the job. I didn’t find the constant business trip funny at all, but my husband knows how to calm me. He knows how much I love receiving gifts. So, whenever he comes back from his trips, he would get me a special gift. Now I have a variety of perfumes, scarves, chocolates and some unique souvenirs from each country he goes to. There was a time he outdid himself, and came with Dubai makeup kit, and it’s the best I’ve ever seen. It had everything I could ask for, Variety colors of eyeshadows, brushes of different shape and size, lipsticks in every shade. The more I opened each compartment, the more I kept shouting. I know I am having a tough time handling these business trips but the gifts is making up for his absence. I’m so happy I got married to such an intentional man.
Hello peeps! I’m just curious those who wear makeup during the day to work. But also party at night do you do your full face all over again? Im going out clubbing tonight and I did my makeup for work but want a different look for the night. I don’t typically go out on Friday nights usually the weekends.
I feel like I haven’t been finding a skin tint that matches my complexion (medium olive), should i use something like NARS light reflecting sheer as a skin tint?
Hi guys so I recently started to use sunscreen again after not wearing it for a while since it would pill under my makeup. I’ve tried many and it still does this if you guys have any recommendations for good sunscreens pls let me know!
Basically, I'm single and living alone and trying to actually start to give a damn about what I look like. I am trying to get back in the dating scene, but even if that doesn't work out, I just generally want to take care of my appearance.
I am on a limited budget.
What are the very basic things I need just to get started?
Foundation, concealer.. powder?
eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner
I've never liked lipstick, but should I be using something beyond Chapstick?
and any recommendations on a basic face cleanser & moisturizer? I've been using Cetaphil.
What brands are good, but inexpensive?
I’ve been doing a lot of digging to find myself a good toner for my dry skin and the Anua milky toner and TirTir milky toner have been the top two I’ve come down to. I originally was thinking to get the Laneige milky toner, but they aren’t cruelty free. I also have tried Thayers toner, but I honestly feel like it doesn’t do anything for my skin.
My skin type has always been dry skin. It’s definitely sensitive also. Recently I have been getting a lot of pimples around my hairline which I’m not sure if it’s from stress or something else which I don’t know what it would be. I also have been seeing my forehead/t-zone get oily for a long time now.
I would like to know what’s worked for everyone, and any advice or suggestions will be appreciated!
hey everyone!, im running into an issue as spring has started in the UK, i have pollen allergy and i need to blow my nose constantly and it tends to remove my makeup after a couple of blows (especially my nose contour and my upper lip combo n foundation),yes i know i shouldn't expect it to last and its completely normal for my makeup to move when i do this, im here seeking advice on making my makeup last longer and holds through more than a couple of nose blows.
some things i already do in my makeup routine are :
- skin prep, i use serum, moisturizer and sunscreen
- elf primer (the grippy one)
- i set my creams with charlotte tilbury setting spray, powder areas where i oil up the most ( around my nose and my chin), do the rest of my makeup and set it with the same spray again.
usually my makeup lasts through hell with all of this but lately its been a challenge
(also i do take my allergy meds i just cant prevent my nose from running)
i have fairly dry skin, and i am planning on buying blush and foundation (+primer and concealer) how do i know to pick between liquid or powder? for help i have pretty none oily skin but i do sweat easily
I’ve been trying to learn how to put on both cluster lashes and full strip lashes, but I still can’t get them to look natural or stay in place the way I want. Some days they sit perfectly, and other days the corners lift or the whole lash looks off. I just want a beginner‑friendly way to get them on quickly without spending forever adjusting them.
I’m also confused about the glue timing. How long do people usually wait before sticking the lash on? I feel like I’m always guessing. Sometimes the glue is too wet and the lash slides around, and other times it’s already dry before I even place it. And I’m not sure how much glue is “enough” to make it hold without taking too long to set.
If anyone has tricks that make the process faster, help the lashes stay put, and still look natural, I’d love to hear what actually worked for you. I’m trying to find a routine that’s quick, simple, and doesn’t fall apart halfway through the day.
I have been using the Tula filter primer for a few years now. It is a product that is white when you pump it out and then changes color from the encapsulated pigments. It’s sheer enough that I use a color darker than my skin to give a slight amount of coverage and warmth, and it also has a little bit of what I see is multicolored shimmer - but the shimmer is almost imperceptible - but they seem like color correcting pigments. I can wear it alone or with some concealer to make my skin look better and more awake but it doesn’t look like makeup. I have tried the Tula tinted moisturizer and the finish is just not what I’m looking for. Currently in the primer I am using the shade sunrise which is for medium skin tones - but I’m actually more fair (about a MAC NW15). It claims to give a lit from within glow, blur lines, give sheer coverage and smooth skin
I want something like this that has SPF. There are glowy/shimmery SPF but they either have no tint or too much tint or way too much shimmer. I do not want to look like the tin man.
Any sunscreen/moisturizer/primer combos that just make your skin look better, more even, and healthier? I am combo, so nothing too hydrating.
I have an unfortunate hormone situation that has left me with a very visible 5 o clock shadow, especially since I have lighter skin but dark hair. I can't afford electrolysis and the at-home laser thing has slowed growth, but not reduced the appearance. I have a people-facing job that can result in a lot of awkwardness if people notice the obvious signs that I can grow a literal beard (I have to shave every morning) so I try to hide it as much as possible with makeup. I didn't get into makeup as a teenager - Most of my upbringing was very religious, so makeup was absolutely NOT APPROVED OF for young unmarried women, at least until they were actively putting you on the market - so I didn't really learn then. I've tried putting on a primer first, I use moisturizer, I've tried powdery or cream ones, but I always end up with this cakey look and a lot of the time the shadow is still kind of visible through it.
I would love to be able to get a smooth, mostly natural look - I don't like wearing makeup to begin with, but I don't have a lot of choice if I want to avoid really awkward questions or people treating me a certain way. Is there a way I can get away with using cheaper makeup and just one or two things to apply, instead of about ten different products, to hide the beardline and not look like I've caked on an inch thick of foundation?
Hi everyone. Ive come to reddit because the videos on tiktok arent helpful.
I have the issue that my makeup is peeling no matter what I do. Ive tried doing my skin prep properly, less primer, my products are all water based yet my makeup always separates throughout the day and it’s really annoying. I use Dior forever skin glow foundation, maybelline fit me and kiko millano full coverage concealers. It separates mostly in my T zone.
Also the setting/fixing spray I use is Loreal infaillible and sheglam insta-ready setting powder duo
so I'm a 12 Yr old boy who rlly wants to try get into makeup but my mum says I'm not an appropriate age for it yet.do you guys agree with her on no.any advise is help ty
I find Smokey eyes make up work so well for hooded eyelids and it always make it look wearable during the day. What do you think?
Hello,
Can anyone recommend me a foundation? I have a wedding coming up soon and I’m looking for something that looks quite natural. I have absolutely zero knowledge with makeup, and don’t currently own anything other than mascara so it’s stressing me out trying to find something. I do however, think I’d prefer the Dewy look and something quite light weight.
Thanks in advance 🙂
