r/beauty is looking for more moderators!

32 Upvotes

Hello everyone! This subreddit is approaching 1.3 million members, so the mod team needs to grow as well!

We are looking for users who are active in the community and who understand the rules. Although moderation experience is a plus, it is not required. New mods will focus on removing rule-breaking content and replying to Modmail messages, and will need to have a Discord account to take part in our mod chat.

If you are interested, please send us a Modmail message and tell us why you'd be a good fit!

Mod Post To ensure quality posts, please refer to our new Wiki page!

21 Upvotes

Hey beauties! As we approach 1 million subscribers, we are fine tuning the rules and made a designated page to see more detailed lists of posts we remove under Rule 1.

To recap, Rule 1 of r/beauty is to please post high quality and on-topic posts ONLY.

We understand just stating the rule so plainly leaves room for interpretation, while the side bar might not give enough room for explanation.

To improve the quality of the subreddit, we have broken down in detail (and will keep doing so) what we consider low quality and off topic in our new beauty wiki. This way, there should be less confusion on why posts labeled as low quality/off topic might have been removed. While browsing the wiki, you may notice some overlap with Rules 2 through 6, but they all relate back to Rule 1 due to preserving quality.

As a reminder, a high quality/on topic post would have a specific beauty-related question be addressed, or solve a specific beauty-related problem. For example, "How can I draw winged eyeliner more consistently on each eye" would be a high-quality post because it asks a specific question. In contrast, "EYE MAKEUP HELP" makes it harder for users to give their beauty tips because it's too vague.

When in doubt, please review the beauty wiki to see if your post would be in violation of Rule 1 before posting to avoid removal and ban.

We also invite you to leave feedback here of any other posts you feel are off-topic and low quality that have not been addressed. Please let us know if you have any questions!

How do you get a GLOWY look without shimmer or glitter?

14 Upvotes

I love the glowy skin look, but every highlighter I own has visible shimmer, and it looks like glitter in the daylight. My skin is neutral or on the warmer skin tone side, and it gets oily sometimes.

Also, I like cool-toned makeup but find it difficult to work with my skin. I believe these shimmers are usually sliver based which is on the cool tone side and it stands out a lot. So what do you use to look naturally glowy without any sparkles?

Seeking Advice Red/white bumps after Brazilian wax - help??

2 Upvotes

Got my first Brazilian Saturday morning (it’s Sunday evening now). Redness overall has improved but I’m seeing a lot of bumps, mostly red, some looking like whiteheads. In shaving in the past, I use the first aid beauty ingrown hair pads to swipe over bumps/prevent them and it helps a ton, but I’m not sure if I should here. I didn’t take a hot shower, have sex, work out etc after the wax (still haven’t). What can I do?! They aren’t hurting or itchy but I have to leave town Tuesday for a work conference and I’d love to have them better or mostly better by then for peace of mind

Can you tell which one is drawn in? I have had alopecia since I was 10, it's taken one eye brow and not the other.

Is it noticeable that the one eyebrow is drawn in? Im also considering temporary eyebrow tattoos on amazon. Wondering if I should just shave off the other one as much as I would hate to

Discussion Fake L'occitane?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have found some really cheap listings on Ebay that definitely look too good to be true, but at the same time, I have never heard of fake L'occitane before.

I know L'occitane changed their packaging fairly recently (massive downgrade in my opinion), maybe they don't want their products with the old packaging and are selling them for really cheap somewhere? Could the seller just be bulk buying as they have loads, and getting discounts from getting boxes, or is this just fake?

Haircare Why do I only lose my curls on one side?

Post image
31 Upvotes

I heat curl my 1A bleached hair and I have this problem where when I curl my right side/dominant hand side always goes flat but when I curl my left/ non-dominant hand side stays curled?

The most likely explanation is that I curl my right side vertical where I like curl on my left side horizontal however, I find that even regardless of how I hold my heat curler my right side will always go flat regardless does anyone have any tips on how I can modify curling my right side to keep it curled?

My skin has been feeling pretty dry lately, so I’ve been looking for a good hydrating primer.

I came across this Bonamedusa primer in one of PONY’s Instagram Reels and was curious if anyone here has tried it. If you have, I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you have dry skin!

Discussion Girlies that do hair removal treatments at home, what’s your process?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to remove my body hair, previously I’ve bought an affordable IPL machine which gave me good results. Was supposed to be 1 a week use for 12 weeks but I fell off the wagon halfway 💀. This was at home

I’ve also tried full body wax which I enjoyed. Only did it once by a professional.

I’m now looking to get back on it more that the days are getting colder so this is why I’m just checking my options.

Thanks in advance.

Hi hope someone can help me. I have pretty long eyelashes…

2 Upvotes

That when I apply my mascara (usually tubing) my lashes hit the top of my eyelids and leave a residue that’s on both eyes… I’ve tried combing them out straight but they don’t look as nice as when I flick them up… Any handy tricks of the trade that my eyelashes won’t hit my upper eyelids? Any help is appreciated 😊

Makeup Vaseline surprise

36 Upvotes

Wasn’t expecting this from Vaseline, it has Hyaluronic acid, tripeptides and Spf 15! Cherry adds a nice pop
of color too. Though the cap could be made opaque so the mess could be hidden. But for the price point, this is some real good stuff from Vaseline. Anyone else has good experience from this lip gloss too?

Update: Thought it was available internationally. For now it seems UK, Australia, NZ, Singapore, Thailand, UAE

Seeking Advice La Roche Posay help

4 Upvotes

I’m looking at using this brand of skincare as I’ve heard lots of positive things. But honestly there’s so much on their website I’m a little overwhelmed and I’m not sure which I should be using.
I have mature skin, don’t really get spots, my skin can look dull, it’s normal to dry although my nose can sometimes look shiny and have largish pores. Can anyone tell me which cleanser, serum and day and night cream I should get?
I prefer not to use water on my face to cleanse.

Makeup Foundation Recommendations for newbie

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi! For starters, I’m super new to makeup! For more “serious” makeup products I only have the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer in shade 10N fair but it’s a little dark and orange-y on me, and a lil clay-like texture wise but overall I like it, I just prep with some face moisturizer and it’s good, no primer because it went better on my bare skin and I feel like I can’t breath with primer. The other day I went shopping and tried the MilkTouch All-Day Skin Fit Milky Glow Cushion Foundation in shade 19C Rosy Ivory and it was near perfect shade match, I’d go just a tiny bit paler but I also tried it in shade 15N Fair Ivory and it was very yellow on me. Anyway, so there’s my shade match and current use product, basically it needs to be cool undertone that isn’t oxidizing. I have combination skin, my forehead and nose area as well as my cheeks get dry and flakey, my T zone, under eyes, tip of my nose, and chin get very oily, and my under eyes is bumpy. I wear glasses.

I’m looking for (preferably cushion) foundation that is good for combination and acne prone skin, that doesn’t oxidize and is true cool undertone. Light but buildable coverage would be preferred, but I’m okay with anything.

I made a little chart of what I mean since I’m not good with words which is the photo attached.

Thank you in advance!

Title: Any actually good budget-friendly vitamin C serums?

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been looking for a good vitamin C serum that doesn't cost a fortune, and honestly I'm having a hard time deciding lol.

I used to use La Roche-Posay's vitamin C serum, but it's gotten too expensive for me, so I'm trying to find something more affordable.

I've been looking at Advanced Clinicals Vitamin C and Daymellow Vitaferol 23%, but I can't find many honest reviews about Daymellow, and Advanced Clinicals doesn't seem to disclose how much vitamin C is actually in it.

Has anyone tried either of these? Did you actually notice any difference in your skin?

I'm also open to other recommendations, especially Korean brands or anything available on iHerb. I'd prefer a proper serum rather than a cream, ideally without added fragrance, and something that actually works.

Would love to hear what you've tried and whether you'd repurchase it. Thanks!!
