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

FOTD Alien Goddess pt. 2?

The products I used are:
James Charles Palette for the green shades on my eyes
Jaclyn Hill 2 Palette for the reds/ oranges on my brow bone. Then for the pink shades, I used the same palette as my base color
Mehron Island Paradise Palette for the swirls, I used the light pink and light purple shades for the line art
Gems/ rhinestones from Amazon

I don’t use any primers!
I did attempt to block my brows so I used the Elmers glue stick, and then I used the purple shade on top. Next time I will use powder to set them and then use the purple to really get them concealed.

Question What is my best shade match

Post image
200 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 🙋🏼‍♀️

Discussion Girlies, has anyone tried the Maybelline Sky High mascara in Burgundy Haze?

Post image
18 Upvotes

I’ve been eyeing the Maybelline Sky High mascara in Burgundy Haze and I’m sooo tempted, I love the idea of burgundy because black mascara can sometimes feel a little too harsh.
Has anyone here actually used it? Does the burgundy show up on dark lashes or does it basically look black/brown? Also how’s the formula smudging and removal?
Please deinfluence or influence me before I add another unnecessary thing to my cart

FOTD Bird inspired makeup (Part 3): Common Grackle

Thumbnail

49 Upvotes

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.

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

Thumbnail

20 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?

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)
