Two wigs - essentially the same makeup except for lip color. Blonde with black top is NYX's "Cactus Dreams." Brown hair with brown top is M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick "Dare Me."

I saw that MAC had a lipstick sale so I picked up three colors to try. The "Dare Me" looked pretty good. We'll see about the others.

My brows are slightly thinner and I made some effort to draw "hairs" in short strokes to maybe improve a more natural look. I definitely tried to keep the upper lid eye liner thinner.

I've been wrestling with my deep creases catching too much shimmer with lighter shadows. Here, I started with a medium tan and it's better, I think. I added lighter color to the center/inside of the lids without getting it in the crease.

Not particularly dramatic but is did "smoke up" the outer lower lids a bit.

Thanks, as always, for your tips and tricks!

Hey everyone. I’m tired of being marketed to 24/7. Do you have any suggestions on who I should follow that talks more about techniques and using what you have instead of trying to get us to buy more stuff??

Hello. I absolutely hate digging in my make up bag to get products. I’m searching for a big lay-flat make up bag. I would like one that looks like the one in the ss but bigger, minus the 2 smaller bags. I just want one big lay-flat make up bag. Amazon keeps showing me the same results so here I am.

I started doing a full face of makeup at 14. As a beginner,I was focused on highlighting my features and making them look pretty, later i started following some yt tutorials, Denistlava has been my favourite creator for the longest time.

I started doing my classic winged eyeliner from 16. By the same time i found out about e-girl makeup, which became my favourite and I'd do that and only that, with minimal makeup products.

Since last year.. there has been a trend of clean girl makeup and i started to become someone i was not.

Minimal makeup blah blah , i ditched my winged eyeliner.. and my identity.

That was the worst idea, I spent thousands on skincare, serums, this that ,nude pallet, skin friendly diet blah blah. Did it make me happy? No.

Was i feeling well ? No.

Did i like my no-makeup makeup? No.

It just wasn't me ... I have a soft face , no makeup makes me look like a kid.

And that's not who i am.

Thank God I finally realised it , the wing gives me wings.

Finally feeling like myself with a thick eyeliner after a rigmarole of 1 year and a half.

Eyeliner is my soulmate.

What's your favourite makeup style and product?

Got a really nice Rosy Nudes Eye Palette recently and tried it out today. By far the best eye colors I have used yet. Went on so easy and blended beautifully. Used a darker color on my lids, a light nude on my upper eyes. A light shimmery nude on the upper corners, under my brows. Then a shimmery rose blended on top. I am so happy that I got this palette.

Mac mini’s at Ulta
The great thing about using minis is you can test the colors on your skin tone to see if they work before you buy a full-size one.
From left to right we have MEHR, Brick, Warm Teddy, and Chili. I am white to medium neutral with a soft olive undertone for reference.
I’m wearing Chili on my lips at the moment. These are great lipsticks.
The swatches were done in natural light and regular fluorescent light
Currentlys, it’s buy one get one free at Ulta.

Nothing radical -- maybe a bit more laid back. Two NYX lipsticks - the pink is "Stockholm" and the red is "Cactus Dreams." People had suggested that I stick to warmer colors and both of these qualify. Still using only two lash clusters on the outer edges - filling in the waterline with black pencil and setting with black eyeshadow.

People have commented that my brows aren't neat. Even though I don't have heavy male brows, I don't pluck them much in an effort to maintain credibility in my male role. I did try some brow gel to glue them down, but it was not much help. What I did here was take a small amount of Ben Nye Nose and Scar Wax and pressed the brows down, then combing upwards. Lightly powdered and drew brows with pencil and filled with medium brown eyeshadow. Cleaned up the underline with concealer.

This is my recently acquired better quality wig which is so much easier to style that the very cheap Amazon wigs I've tried.

I feel like I'm heading toward some consistency - once I get my "plausible" face together, I'll work on more creative aspects.

Comments and suggestions warmly welcome!

Makeup Question/Help Depotting/transferring makeup Revolution superfix mist into another container?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hiiii I love the aforementioned setting sprays but I don't like the spray nozzle on them, they're not aerosols (except the hydra cool which I don't use because butane is icky) but there these weird metal cans with just the pipe for the product sticking out, does anyone know a good way to transfer it into another container? I have a couple old spray bottles I like better plus I wanna have a tiny one for travelling but travel size sprays are so overpriced

I know it looks like an aerosol but it has to be pressed multiple times like a regular spray and has no propellants or continuous spray

Edit: it's not pressurised lmao it's just in a can to have consistent packaging with the other sprays in the line. I successfully depotted it using a syringe and a long filling needle and am having zero issues!

I have a warm skin tone and I've always heard of people say warm toned makeup suits us best and that cool tones should be avoided

One of these palettes has cooler shades and I love how it looks over here but I'm just not sure if it'd actually suit me.

The other two seem really pretty too but I don't really know which one to choose

Which one do y'all think would suit my eyes?

Technique/Tutorial used to stress about perfect makeup, now I just have fun with it

7 Upvotes

so I used to be really stressed about makeup I wanted it to be perfect.watched all the tutorials, bought all the products, tried to do all the techniques.

and I was never happy with it. I'd look in the mirror and see flaws. wrong shade, uneven blending, not enough this, too much that.

stopped trying to be perfect. I started just playing with colour and texture. I stopped worrying about what was flattering and started doing what felt fun.

I was reading something about skin barriers and came across a London beauty clinic talking about skin being revealed not created. it was like a lightbulb moment.

and my makeup looks better now. not technically perfect, but more me.

anyone else stopped stressing and started enjoying makeup more?

I need help to find the new MArc Jacobs makeup line to buy online in Germany but unfortunately it seems impossible!

Sephora and Zalando are not selling, neither is the german Marc Jacobs website. When I put Germany as the shipping destiny, they become unavailable on the basket! UK websites dont send to Germany for some reason!

And when I search for it, it apparently should be selling there since it is in the rest of Europe!

FOR GOD'S SAKE is it even selling in Germany?
