[Makeup Help] Makeup Rec Help!!!!

Upvotes

Hey, so, my mom's birthday is in a few days. I'm still short on money but making it closer to the goal. Her bday is 27th, and she wanted this kaelidos(?) po1 dreamwalk blush, but it wouldnt get here til like... the 8th of Aug. Is there any blushes similar to that that might come sooner? Even if it's late, it's fine, I just want it to be there by the 1st latest. Thank you!

(P.S. sorry I am so dumb with makeup but she loves it lol)

[Makeup Help] Maybelline “Super Stay” crayon, shade “Talk the Talk”

Upvotes

I think it was discontinued??? How do I find out if it was (besides the fact that I can’t find it ANYWHERE)

I’m genuinely so upset. I love doing huge, dramatic eyeliner, and a nice lip color. Besides that, I am not too savvy with makeup. Of course my favorite color, my tried and true, is nowhere to be found :/ I’m so upset. I’ve tried to buy other lipsticks in this exact shade to no avail. It’s either too pink, or too much of a reddish brick color. Or on the other hand, way too brown.

Does anybody have any dupe recommendations? Or somewhere where i can find it? Again, makeup is not my expertise, but this was my absolute FAVORITE. I’ve also tried the neighboring shades to this one, only to be disappointed:(

Is caffeine in makeup bad for our skin long term?

Upvotes

I bought the Kosas concealer with caffeine. I was weary because a caffeine shampoo dried my hair badly years ago. The lady said there’s not much in it and I’m worried that something constantly constricting blood vessels and causing a reaction will wear the skin out.

Am I wrong?

[Makeup Help] Help with inspo for deep-set downturned eyes?

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am going to a wedding this Saturday and I really need help! I am legally blind and can’t do my own eye makeup, so I’ve hired a professional to help out on the day. She is requesting I arrive with makeup inspiration but I cannot for the life of me find inspo of eyes like mine. The search is made all the more challenging due to my poor eyesight.

They are deep set and downturned. Can anyone help me find inspo pictures? Or any good resources with pictures to show the artist? Thank you!

[Makeup Help] ISO foundation alternatives to Fenty Soft Matte (":

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for brands to check out since I'm apparently going to have to replace my entire base? I use shade 360 which again is a bit too orange but nothing a blue color mixer couldn't fix. I honestly have never found anything that wasn't too red, too light, or too dark on me so it's been good enough to me all these years. I've just recently heard about fenty discontinuing their soft matte foundations and I'm soooo frustrated about it. I've had such a hard time finding foundation shade matches let alone formulas that don't make me feel like removing my skin.

Hey I am looking for a plumping lip balm that is clear and not glossy. I tried the ELF one and it's only ok. It's not that plumping and a bit too thick. I prefer drug store brands, but I would be interested in any recommendations.

[Makeup Help] Help for setting sprays

1 Upvotes

I currently have the elf power grip dewy setting spray. I'm looking to replace it with a nyx setting spray after finishing it, but I have dry skin, and I want my makeup to last. So I was wondering which nyx setting spray is best for dry skin and lasts a long time?? I'm okay with suggestions other than nyx.

[Makeup Help] The hype around Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm...am I missing something?

4 Upvotes

So I have been using Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm for awhile now (have used it long enough to start hitting pan) and unsure if I should repurchase. Lots of people swear by it as a holy grail product, but I don't get that same feeling. I don't ever remember being "wow-ed" sadly, but really want to love this product. I have large pores and combo skin so was thinking this would give the illusion of blurring and make the rest of my makeup sit better on the face.

Am I using it correctly? I have swirled with 3 fingers and buffed into my skin, scooped a little and warmed in my fingers before applying, changed up the amount used, etc. Also, what difference am I supposed to be noticing? What have you noticed it does well for you?

[Makeup Help] Waterproof Eyeliner for swimming in the ocean beach

2 Upvotes

Hii! I’m going to Spain soon and I’ll be spending a lot of time at the beach swimming in the ocean. I’m looking for a waterproof eyeliner that stays on really well and doesn’t smudge or transfer, even after being in the water.

If anyone has any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! Also, if possible, I’d love suggestions for a good waterproof mascara that holds up just as well. Ideally a brown eyeliner and mascara. I have oily skin, so I’m not sure what would be ideal.

Makeup makes me feel uglier

0 Upvotes

Im 16 (F) and just got out of a 1 and a half year relationship. He always preferred “natural” so I stopped doing my drastic edgy eyeliner (which I loveddd) and heavy black eyeshadow.

Ive never really been into makeup but since him and I broke up I was like “oh hey, maybe I should start doing makeup.” So I went on a huge shopping extravaganza and bought foundation, blush, bronzer, all the goods, yk? Stuff I’ve never used before. And the nice woman at Sephora was helping me and guiding me to pick the products.
After Ive been doing my makeup everyday for a few weeks now, I can say that I dont think its the products that makes me feel ugly, or maybe it is? Idk.

I like doing my pink eyeshadow and adding a shit ton of glitter to my face. But I just prefer my face with no makeup and I dont wanna be ashamed of my acne. But Im in highschool, everyone is wearing makeup and trying desperately to get rid of the acne. I guess I care a little bit about it all (atleast enough to try to get my own stance on it).

But I just feel ugly with it, like I’m trying to be someone I’m not. Im scared that my makeup looks bad and everyones too scared to tell me.

It also doesnt help that I wear glasses (I cant see 4 inches past my face) so I do my makeup blind and honestly just hope for the best…

Can you guys please share your experiences? Should I try doing my eyeliner and eyeshadow again or stick with my natural glowy pink-eyeshadow look? I dont even know.

[Makeup Help] Advice for Under Eye Creasing

2 Upvotes

I’m hoping I can get some help to make my routine even better!! I don’t wear a lot of makeup. Typically just my moisturizer mixed with bronzing drops as a base, followed by a couple swipes of a milk under eye cooling stick before I apply some Becca’s under eye brightening corrector and a bit of Mario’s blush. I finish with Elf’s power grip setting spray.

I hate how easily and quickly my under eye corrector creases and how often I feel like I’m smoothing it out with my finger. I’m considering adding a powder to set it in place.

My questions are: what type of powder would be best here, especially since I don’t really use foundation or would be applying it to my entire face. Is powder the best move? Should I be using something different than the milk stick? Also, are there any setting sprays that are less scented and sticky feeling than Elf’s?

I have some sensory issues that prevent me from wearing a lot of makeup and even what I use now feels unbearable sometimes. Thank you all for your help!!

Tinted moisturizer for lazy people

2 Upvotes

Hello!

Does anyone have any recommendations for mattyfing tinted moisturizer or light weight foundation for a lazy office worker? Just something I can slap on my face with my hands in the morning and maybe some light powder over top. I have acne prone oily combo skin and will get oily after about 5/6 hours.

Ideally drugstore or Asian beauty but will go to Sephora if I must.

Lols while I'm here - pls recommend brow products for a natural look. Been using dip brow but want to try something new

TYA!

[Makeup Help] Skin Tint Help / Suggestions

1 Upvotes

Hello!

Looking at getting a new skin tint. So far I’ve tried L’Oréal True Match Tinted Serum and Maybeline Super Stay Skin Tint and while I thought they went on great initially I noticed both started to separate on my face. What I LOVED was the Erborian CC Red Correct, but I’m pale AF and noticed it was too dark for my skin, other than that I thought the CC Red Correct went on smoothly and held up on my face really nicely.

Looking at trying something new and the Elf Halo Glow Skin Tint caught my eye. I would describe my skin as dry and matt. Literally no oil insight besides my nose. By the look of Elf’s skin tint this could be a good match for my skin type but I wanted to see people’s thoughts.

Thanks!

Also maybe I’m applying the other skin tints wrong, let me know:

Prepped skin with moisturizer and primer.

L’Oréal - Applied w/ brush
Maybeline - Applied w/ brush
CC Red Correct - Applied w/ fingers

Best powder for desert climate?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have recommendations for a finishing powder that works well in a VERY dry desert climate? I grew up the desert and could never wear any kind of face makeup without it immediately cracking and caking, but I could wear it fine once I moved somewhere more humid. Now I don't really wear face makeup, but I do want to get some kind of finishing powder or something I can wear over my eye makeup and just as a general face product to even things out a little or make my skin look a little nicer. But now that I live in the desert again, I know some options won't work, so I'm hesitant to drop $50+ on something like Charlotte Tilbury when I know there's a decent chance I won't be able to use it. I've tried finishing sprays before and I really don't like how they feel, so I'd rather not go that route. I'm early 40s, mildly sensitive skin (acne prone with the wrong products), and normal-for-the-desert dry skin. I don't want anything heavy, like a liquid fountain - just something light and fast. Have any other desert folks found something that works well?

TIA!

Makeup Brush Cleaning Help!!

1 Upvotes

Hello my girls, gays, and theys! 👋🏻👋🏻

I need some help with cleaning a specific brush - the Sephora Collection 70.5 mini pro foundation brush. I'm using my usual Beauty Blender bar cleanser and I have one of those silicone pads with all the bumps on it for cleaning them BUT I've legit been at this one for 30 minutes and there's STILL. FOUNDATION. IN. THE. BRISTLES 😩😩

It's just SO incredibly dense in having a hard time cleaning it so if anyone has any tips or any other products they think would do the trick maybe in less than 30 minutes to an hour, I'd greatly appreciate any and all advice! I'm not opposed to buying other cleaning products so please suggest away!
