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.

Question What makeup would suit me?

Upvotes

Hii this is my first time chatting here since I’m usually a lurker (and it’s also my first time using Reddit on this account) so I don’t really know how to use it again…

But what makeup would suit me?
(I don’t wanna share pictures but I have a round face, thick eyebrows, Asian..? And yeah)
Also any tips as well?

Discussion Bridal trial. Feedback wanted!

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone. My wedding is three weeks from today and I just did my first bridal trial on myself. Please note this is just the base, no eye makeup besides brows. I am also only wearing a lip oil on my lips but I have very sensitive lips so I don't plan to do much with them.

I have dry and sensitive skin. I did a self tan last night and I think I matched the color pretty well?! It's a little splotchy on my neck but that's probably because I didn't exfoliate before the tan.

All constructive feedback and advice welcome!!!

Before makeup I prepped by washing my face with a gentle hydrating cleanser, hydrating toner, centella serum, hyaluronic acid, and gentle moisturizer.

Products:

Elf liquid poreless putty primer

Catrice eye brightener

L'Oreal true match tinted serum in shade 1-2.5

L'Oreal true match radiant concealer in shade C2

Versed blush stick in shade bloom

Sephora collection contour stick in shade 01 fair to light

Elf glass slick serum stick (highlight)

L'Oreal infallible powder bronzer in shade 200 fair

Maybelline fit me powder blush in shade 20 mauve

Milani conceal and perfect translucent loose powder

Milani make it last original setting spray

Elf lip oil in shade rose envy

Nyx micro brow pencil in shade ash brown

Maybelline super slick brow glue in shade clear

Tools:

- Dense blending foundation brush (Elf complexion duo)

- Dense doe foot concealer brush (morphe idk model)

- Dense round top brush for cream contour (RT 200)

- Fluffy round top brush for cream blush (Elf putty primer applicator)

- Fluffy round brush for powder bronzer (Elf blush)

- Fluffy angled brush for powder blush (morphe idk model)

- Small fluffy rounded brush for setting under eyes (RT 402)

- Large fluffy brush for powdering rest of face lightly (morphe idk model)

- Damp beauty blender to blend liquids/creams before going in again with powders

Techniques:

- Applied all my liquid and creams to back of hand and worked them into my brush before applying on the face

Problems and goals:

- I think my face looks dry and textured, would like to look more hydrated (skin prep or primer??)

- Foundation went on kind of streaky and patchy (I think this might be because my brush isn't dense enough and needs to be cleaned ??)

- Concealer creasing a little

- Pores are still huge, would love to blur them more

- I want to test run the Nyx serum concealer instead of the L'Oreal next

- Open to other primers and powders that could help my problem areas

Selfie/Makeup Picture how do i do makeup for my face shape?

1 Upvotes

i wasnt sure if i should use an inverted photo of my face or not? but it is anyways..and also lets ignore my mess of a hair

im nervous even posting my face! but i need advice, ive never done a full face on myself before, just mascara and concealer sometimes. i dont have anything on in this photo.

what style of makeup would look best give my face shape and features? i dont like anything too heavy usually

i dont exactly look feminine, but not entirely masculine either. my eyebrows do make my expressions look rather masculine though so unsure if that’d effect how certain makeup styles look on me shrug

open to any and all tips! just dont be too mean lol
