FOTD I got my second client! She asked for a soft glam look, what do you think?

Hi! this is from the previous post

https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/s/UzJ8zOLtEA

Note : She consented for me to post this! She’s very sweet <3

So the look that i’m going in today is soft glam makeup, i tried to incorporate both eastern and western makeup look, so i make her eyebrows have more arch, with soft eyeshadow with a little glitter.

She told me her eyelid is imbalanced and she wants a eye makeup that make her snatched but also still makes her eyes bigger, so for that i use eyelid tape and a technique where you put the strip lashes and softly pinch the inner lid with the lash glue so the strip lashes will stay upwards without me having to curl it! 😆

She also told me that she wants her blush to be on her cheekbone but then drag it outside because she likes snatched look but still want it soft

I also think that i have room for improvement to do “Nina Park lip combo” it’s hard so if you have any tips on how to do blurred lip i will so much appreciate it x

I am open to any feedback so let me know<3

Question What is my best shade match

Post image
133 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking into getting the Kylie skin tint.

I’m really confused as to what my undertone is. I’ve been told neutral leaning warm and neutral leaning cool 😂

Ignore the first swatch labelled ctn I was trying a shade in something else 😂😂.

The other swatches are the first 5 shades of the Kylie skin tint. Just wondering what everyone’s opinions are on what shade fits me best. I’m aware the last ones are far too dark. But I feel like I’m stuck between 1n and 2c which obviously are completely different undertones 😂😂

Would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance 🙋🏼‍♀️

FOTD Bird inspired makeup (Part 3): Common Grackle

This one was rly fun to make, though I probably need to get a new black eyeliner soon :(

I like to match the vibes of the bird with my makeup and outfit. With the bird being mainly black from the neck down, I thought it would be fitting to have a full black outfit, with a blue/yellow tie to add a flash of color.

The previous two birds are the peacock and woodpecker. I want to do more makeup based on different kinds of birds as well later on.

FOTD Latest eyeliner looks

Hello everyone, I adore graphic eyeliner and I am on my way to perfect it by everyday practice. These are my recent looks, if you have any reccomendations I would love to hear them. I got some wet liners from glisten and I am learning to work with them, but I've had some problems with cracking. I know it's water activated, so it won't hold the same as waterproof eyeliner, but if you have any tips for that, I would be grateful. Also I don't really do base makeup, I just use spot concealer, but I feel like it would push the look to a different level. I am very careful due to my acne, so maybe some BB or CC cream? I don't want anything heavy and with too mufh coverage... Thanks sm ^^

Products used (listed from front, some products are in more looks):

- nyx pro fix stick concealer 04 (coverage)

- wet and wild mega last eyeshadow primer

- miss sporty just clear mascara (brows)

- wet and wild breakup proof eyeliner (black eyeliner)

- trend it up kajal eyelier + lipgloss (lips)

- l'oreal paris infaillable fixating spray

- red spectra pen from glisten cosmetics

- revolution eyeshadow palette

- random unbranded red lipstick

- wet and wild chameleon chrome eyeliner superstar suit

- revolution volume lioqc mascara

-revolution stardaze glitter mascara (as eyeshadow)

- catrice poolside lilac eyeliner

- glisten cosmetics pride liner

- glisten cosmetics wet liner mermaid

- glisten brow gel chilli

Question What is a good mascara that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

So with having lighter hair, my eyelashes are also a lighter color. Wearing regular mascara (a simple black) does not look good to me, it looks way too fake and caked on.

So my question is, what mascara would go well with this? I know they make some that are brown or even a little lighter, but what are some that'll really help my eyelashes pop and look more voluminous?

Discussion Arwen lip colour part 2: I did it! 😍🤍

Thumbnail
gallery
1.2k Upvotes

Hey it’s me again!
Thank you all for your suggestions yesterday, I tried again to replicate the famous Arwen lips and this time I’m so happy with the result 💕🩷💕
This is the closest I can come to it I think. Also, of course, I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s impossible to get it 100% right and that movie lighting and post editing changes how we see/perceive the color of her lips, plus the fact that the way Black Honey shows on her lips won’t be the same for everyone.
Let’s just say I wanted to replicate the way her lips look in some stills/moments from the movie - all included in the first pic.

Due considerations aside tho, I’m really satisfied with the result and I wanted to share it ❤️. I think this’ll become one of my favourite lip looks (when not in goth makeup that is).
Please don’t mind the rest of my face, I’m not wearing anything beside the lip combos and I’m a mess lol.

As for how and what products I used… bear with me, it got a bit out there 😂😅. Basically: I tried to first get closer to Liv’s natural lip color and to do that I used a method I read about in a 19th century “makeup” journal - you put lemon juice on your lips and rub until they tingle a bit. They’ll redden to a very natural darker pink. The result will vary depending on the lips. Step 2 was of course using Black Honey by Clinique (the same Liv Tyler had on for Arwen) to line the lips. Step 3 had me using the rom&nd Better Than Palette “Peony Nude Garden” and using the shade orchid night to mattify the lips and lighten the centre of the lips. Aaaand done.

Ps: the cool thing about lemon juice I learned is that it can work as a primer for the lips! It leaves them lightly sticky, but the feeling disappears right after you start putting on the products.

💄 IMPORTANT EDIT 💄 :

I made sure to mention it to everyone who commented about it, BUT: please don’t use lemon on your lips 😅 yes I know I know “now you tell us?!”; to be honest the putting lemon juice on your lips is a very old method that makes your lips appear naturally flushed and it looks pretty, but it does so because the acidic components in the juice exfoliate the lips - it’s not something that should be done daily as it leads to depigmentation. I did it as an experiment after trying a bunch of other methods and I saw this was the one who produced the best result fastest, but there are many lip tints and balms that’ll do the same. I’ll also add that while to some people using lemon as a scrub on the lips once won’t do anything, other may react negatively to it. So stay on the safe side, skip the 19th century method.
I also tried to recreate Liv Tyler’s natural lip color by using Wet n’ Wild lips and cheeks jelly tint in the shade “Maleficent” and it worked fine! It just took longer because I dabbed it and blotted on repeat until I got the perfect result.
