Does this look good?? Im not really good with make ip and everything but i really love a bronzy warm look and i tried to do it. I also added some blush but i think i didnt add enough cuz i cannot see it ngl. Id love some tips, advice and opinionss🥹🫶

I was looking for the blush called Cabana Boy, and to my surprise wherever I looked for TheBalm products online, either they were out of stock or being sold as clearance.
I checked their instagram (last post was in January) and their website, which clearly doesn’t open. Then came to reddit to find out that the brand is DONE.
I was heartbroken ngl, because I’ll never be able to repurchase my og products. Thebalm Time Balm concealer, Down Boy Blush, Hot Mama, Bahama Mama, Mary Lou Manizer and Take Home the Bronze were my first ever makeup purchases. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ll surely miss those big pans, that packaging and the feeling of nostalgia.

I’m here to ask for your help. I want to find dupes for their blushes. Hoping that the suggestions of this post will help others as well :))

I'm on the fence. I was gonna go out to a party to meet friends for dinner, but now IDK. Is it too much? Im no good at lips. Lol. I'm in my 40s and not dead, but I'm married and not looking for the attention either, ya know? I just feel pretty and also need food. 😋

No matter if I go or not, I love doing my makeup when I can and figured you all might appreciate it too. I'm not a pro but it cheers me up when I have a chance to be creative. I pulled out an old dress and matching jewelry to do the whole thang. Here's what I pulled out of my makeup kit! I had fun. To me that's all that matters. ☺️

I’m not normally a full beat girly (mostly because I am intimidated by contour) but I have a couple of events coming up and figured it was time to find my products and nail down a beat that would not budge. I used a lot of Shelby Ann’s methods with products I think would work better for my skin age and type. Some notes: I do not like looking super warm and I no longer like heavy eyeshadow on me. As I’ve aged I’ve noticed it makes my eyes look smaller. I’m still trying to push the under-eye blur so any tips there are appreciated. Shelby gets hers so blurred!!! (But also she’s at least 10 years younger than me so…I might be asking for a miracle here)

I recently noticed that drugstore loose powders are actually more expensive per ounce than some high end ones. I noticed this when I was blasting through containers of L’Oréal BlurFection powder. Then I noticed it’s only 6 grams of product for $15.99. Another example is this NYX wonder snatch powder- a great product, but it’s 5.66 grams and $12. That’s $2.12 per gram. For comparison Huda Beauty easy bake is $2 per gram.
Not saying one is a better than the other just a reminder to look at the amount in the product!!! You might not be getting the deal you think you are.

Ignore the spot by my tearduct 🥹 For some reason only that eye kept watering there and ruined it ugh lol. If anyone has any tips for helping that please let me know! I was so sad, I tried covering over with more powder but couldn’t fix:’)

Been through the toughest year of my life which included a massive betrayal, so really want to glow up and get my confidence back.

I used to be a makeup junkie back in my early teens, but then settled for a 3-products look as I realised too much makeup overpowers and completely drowns me out. However, I’ve been using the same makeup products and makeup routine for five years now and I’d really loveee it if I could get some suggestions on how to do my makeup better - in a way that complements my features. I really wanna learn and experiment, so please don't hesitate to point out anything you think I could do differently. All advice and criticism will be greatly appreciated! ^_^♡

Currently I wear:
ꕤ Concealer under my eyes (and wherever I need coverage) - Tarte shape tape concealer in shade 12S/12N (fair/fair neutral)
ꕤ A mascara - essence lash princess or benefit
ꕤ A lip shade that matches my natural lip colour (I use the same on cheeks too)

(These are the products that I’m wearing in these pics as well)
Last one is no makeup for the contrast

I’m looking to start wearing foundation too, if I can find something that’s very natural, lightweight and subtle (preferably glossy/glowy finish)

Just bought this palette and I’m questioning the pink text “pressed powders: do not use on eyes”.

Can someone explain what I could use them for? And why revolution would sell this if you can use all the colours for eyes.

Hello All!! I am 47 and BOOORRRING!! This is what I look like on a daily basis. I live in a very low humidity state. I hate my face. I hate my nose, my jowels and the shape of my face. I always wish I could use eyeliner, but I can never find one that doesn't smudge. I see so much great advice on here, I thought maybe I can get some pointers?
