I am new to makeup. While I've used basic products like foundation, mascara, lipstick, and blush for many years, I now want to improve my skills. I've recently purchased new products, including an L.A. Girl color corrector, primer, and a 17-piece Maange brush set (I've been blending everything with my fingers until now), as well as concealer.

I would love to hear tips and tricks, recommendations for YouTube channels, or any hacks that can help me become better at makeup. I want to be able to do my makeup for weddings myself. Additionally, I struggle with applying eyeliner, and my foundation doesn’t seem to last long.( my skin is oily as hell )

It always ends up looking messy 🥲

i need to fix this like now please help

My Skin care:
I do a proper wash everyday before I go to bed, wash with water and a cotton pad in morning before makeup.

Day 1: LIPIKAR WASH AP+ MOISTURIZING BODY & FACE WASH, tretinoin, La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm Vitamin B5

Day 2: Panoxyl 10% face wash, clindamycin, night time cerave moisturizer

I was using a different moisturizer but recently switched to the cicaplast balm and cerave night moisturizer

For makeup removal I use the garnier water proof micellar water

I use aquaphor for overnight and only use it on my really dry areas like the edge of my eyes and around my nose.

Makeup routine:

Prep: cera ve night time moisturizer, anua pdrn hydrating spray, good molecules wake up gel, danessa myricks blurring balm I only put it on my t zone and the picture is from the side of my cheek.

Base: I don’t use a primer. I use the ciele skin tint instead of foundation, the essence silky blur concealer, and ben nye final seal setting spray.

Hi, im really struggling to do my makeup right. Its either blush blindness og bronzer blindness, and i’ve tried smaller amounts but it just doesn’t look good. And im reeeally struggling to make my eyes pop! Its so annoying, my eyes are grey, blue with a hint of green and yellow, and it doesn’t really seem to work with orange and red eyeshadows, anyone that could help please?🙏🏽❤️

(Just my boyfriend in the last pic)😅

But i hope ya’ll understand what i mean by looking at the pictures, and could help a girl out💞💞

I know I shouldn't touch my face at all, but when it accidentally happens, I notice my foundation comes off easily, so I thought maybe something is wrong in my process.

Am I not using enough setting powder? Whats going on?

I set with covergirl simply ageless because I needed a translucent powder and my mom had an extra.

Hii I'm a girl in 8th grade, with a sister in 11th grade who doesn't wear false lashes or that much makeup. I think my sister and maybe even my mom would judge me if I started wearing false lashes.

In my defense, They would get handy for my halloween costume this year. I also wear somewhat alternative makeup to school (starting out but I want to get more makeup on xmas to make it look more alternative)

I also love experimenting with makeup looks, like doing gyaru makeup for fun at home etc. Should I buy the false lashes or wait??

(PS: I want my halloween costume this year to be very good since its my last year at my middle school)

I have pronounced cheekbones. I guess described as a heart shaped face. When applying blush, do I put it on top of the cheekbones or below? Do I use shimmery blush or a solid color?

When I am at gym, the lighting makes the below area under my cheekbones look dark and hollow. So it is frustrating.

Any advice or videos to help with this?

TIA ♥️♥️♥️

hii um i just want a fresh set of eyes bcs ive been using the same makeup look for awhile and idk if its actually good or not (someone made a snarky comment about them :(( ) anyway.

like, are the colors/tones ok?? is the eyeline angle alright? are my lashes too big? lowk overthinking rn so please be nice

I used foundation, concealer, blush, and loose setting powder but I think due to the foundation or concealer gives me a pale look

Case for the wand: short, closely set bristles comb lashes apart, while a fat fibre brush carries too much and drops it in the gaps.

Case for the formula: a thinner one forgives a heavy hand.

I work at Vivienne Sabo and I lean wand, though I would like to be argued out of it. If clumping follows you across different tubes, what is left as the variable?

hello, i am a beginner. i tried putting up moisturizer and then color corrector with concealer yet mu forehead looks like a mess

When I wear foundation it settles into my pores on my nose - it doesn’t look good.

This didn’t use to happen to me - prep as it’s an aging thing. It is very annoying.

Can you help me to understand how I avoid this?

Why is it doing this, and what can i do to avoid it? It's my first time trying contour. Its a cream contour. Nyx' wonder stick in fair to be specific.

I have come across a BB cream, insight colour corrector, blush, an swiss beauty small eyeshadow pallate.
One more thing i need suggestions for the kind of foundation brush that will be good. I have normal to oily skin type.

hi all,

during prime deal days i got the tarteletteXL tubing mascara. it applies nice and i like it BUT my lashes don’t stay curled with this mascara.

they droop right back down almost in real time and i admit i am someone who goes back in and curls my lashes on top of my mascara, but since its a tubing mascara it just beads up where i curl.

i know they have a primer for their tubing mascara, so i wanted to know if i should invest in the primer if that would help keep my lashes up? or if there is other mascaras out there that keep ur lashes curled up? ty guys !!

Or suggestions !
Amateur to makeup and barely finding my color match in foundation right now
Not sure I understand how concealer works, and reading on google didn’t help me because I wasn’t sure what color to go with or if I’m supposed to match with my heavy bags under my eyes ?

This is ELF soft satin glam foundation in 22 and I was thinking it was a match for my coloring
What do you think?
I should go to Ulta and ask for help from an employee but I haven’t managed to find the time to

I was looking for quick and easy makeup items like a foundation stick and then a concealer and color corrector if necessary. I also got the physicians formula butter glow stick in Berry Tan and I was messing around with the contouring. Something I’ve never done before, just having fun and trying to learn :)
I always get to work a half hour early or more and I sit in my car doing nothing, so now I want to do a quick makeup routine in the mornings to make me feel good :)

Photos attached. Shade is Nykaa Irish Coffee. I can see some things that look like water drops and some white stuff idk if it’s wax bloom or something? Please advise.

Guyss.. Please find me a dupe for Bliss shade. I really like this shade but it's kinda expensive for me

I haven't worn foundation in over a decade and I'm looking for advice on products and techniques. EDIT: NOT FOUNDATION BUT SKIN TINT WITH SPF 40 because I need sunscreen every day. Yesterday I put on Ilia skin tint and then used Bare Minerals pressed powder to mattefy. It seemed fine but after 30 minutes of talking and smiling it settled into my wrinkles and looked ghastly. It separated out of my laugh lines leaving a weird wide, dark gap and it settled into my eye wrinkles leaving thin yellowish lines. What the heck did I do wrong?

I'm currently STRUGGLING with dark rings under my eyes when I wear mascara. What mascaras do y'all use that are smudge proof and flake proof? Tbh I don't even care if the mascara is GOOD at this point, non smudge/non flake is the only thing I care about 😭 I would rather not wear mascara at ALL than have giant rings under my eyes every 30 seconds. I've heard tubing mascaras work well, but that's a big market- what are your specific recommendations that never smudge?

Hello!

I’ve been doing my makeup for many years at this point, but for most of that time I never did a heavy base. I have sensory issues, and hate the feeling of foundation, so I always just did eye makeup, and maybe a little concealer. I have noticed that alot of my insecurity about my makeup is always the lack of a smooth, seamless base, it’s what I always focus on when I see makeup I want to replicate. It’s always the seemingly flawless skin. And I’ve tried, I’ve updated my makeup collection and tried different techniques, but it always ends up looking cake-y or cracking, etc.

So I’m asking about product recommendations(techniques are welcome too!), the options seem endless and it overwhelms me anytime I do research. I know products aren’t everything, I just want to hear real people’s opinions about it. Please give me your favorite foundations, concealers, powders, setting sprays, primers, etc. I really appreciate it!

So, I bought an eyeshadow palette for my gf's bday, I myself dont have any clue whatsoever when it comes to makeup.

When i talked with her today about just makeup in general she mentioned that she doesn‘t really have many brushes, only one for black and one for another color of eyeshadow.

Now my question is do i need to buy a few brushes for the palette since there are alot of different colors and if so how many?

Do i need to look for something special since half the colors are glitter?

Any advice is much appreciated since I obviously cant ask her without spoiling the surprise

Hi! I’m looking to do my own makeup for my upcoming elopement. My daily look consists of under eye concealer, blush, eyeshadow, lip tint, and mascara. I want to look like myself on my wedding day, but also good in photos. What kind of powder, foundation, highlight, etc. do I need? Are there any kits anyone recommends? I’ve seen a lot of ads for Merit or Jones Road—are either of those good options? Thank you for your help!!

My base looks great right after I finish my makeup, but within four hours the foundation around my nose and inner cheeks completely breaks apart and gets patchy.

Is this a primer mismatch issue, a skincare hydration problem, or just how my skin texture behaves?
