my wedding is coming and im really stressed about my uneven eyes😭 ik my partner doesn’t care about it he always tells me im pretty but i just really wanna look good on pictures without having to invert it lol

btw i have hyperthyroidism which made my eyes look uneven🥹

Sorry if this is a super basic question to ask. Currently early in transitioning from male to female and have no clue about makeup. Feel embarrassed to ask someone at Ulta/Sephora.

So I am wearing concealer with primer in these photos which works for a whopping 15 minutes until the darkness re-appears ( I've read this might mean its being absorbed but I moisturize and use multiple serums daily and have very healthy skin otherwise so I don't see how it could be that) The area has been hollow my whole life so I dont know if thats a factor but Im really trying to find a solution that doesnt involve wearing a full face of makeup as im currently not out as trans to my friends/family.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I feel like i look very plain/boring and want to start doing something to look/feel a little cuter. Im not very well versed in makeup and am usually wearing glasses.. currently have the Bob in first picture. I need help with product recommendations and just generally how to do my makeup (simple not a lot of steps pls) any help would be amazing

I heard 90s brows are coming back but I’m still stuck with 2021 soap brow… do I have brow blindness??

Hey y’all! I have been experimenting with my makeup. I have oily, acne prone skin and a lot of hyperpigmentation and acne scars. I like dramatic colorful looks, but some things don’t feel right in my looks. I have sparse brows and it’s always tricky to style them with makeup. I’ve tried thicker and thinner. I am also trying to get a better base routine that covers my hyperpigmentation and acne scars well, and figure out how to do my eyeshadow in a way that compliments my hooded eyes. I have a reddish purplish blush I use often but I’ve been wanting to try orange blush or pink. I am not a big lash person, I feel like lashes could add to the look but I find them really uncomfortable so I need to figure that out. Any ideas of looks you think would be fun on me or colors that would flatter me are welcome :) I shared a few pics of looks I’ve tried and the last one is my bare face. My favorite look I’ve done recently is the first one. thanks ✨❤️

i have tried everything, researched everything, but i’m still overwhelmed by the amount of paid ads online and information saying different things. can someone who actually understands both how to deal with hyperpigmentation in terms of skin care, and how to cover it up with makeup, run through the basics or what products worked for you? sorry if this is repetitive but i’m so tired of running into undisclosed ads, i just wanted reddit’s opinion for this one

I’ve tried many different foundations and keep running into issues of patchiness on my upper lip because my makeup doesn’t want to sit smooth over my admittedly thin and light girlstache. I’ve tried shaving it off but I found I really don’t like how it feels for anything to touch my face without the sensory buffer of the peach fuzz. Any techniques or product recommendations for getting my makeup and my peach fuzz to get along?

I wear my glasses all the time but wanted to find some clear full face photos. Having said that please take note of my glasses, for example I usually can’t wear long false lashes because they get caught on my glasses. I’m asking style wise I suppose? I’m unsure if high contrast or low contrast would be better or if I should go dark bold colors or simple “no makeup” makeup looks or even pinks, light colors, etc. I don’t wear makeup often so I kinda don’t know what I’m doing when I do try to wear makeup.

I've been trying to figure out whether I'm warm, cool, neutral, but I'm honestly so confused.

My whole life I've only used the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder Foundation, mainly because I have no idea what my actual undertone is. I don't own any other foundations to compare because I'm afraid of buying the wrong shade.

Based on these photos, what do you think my undertone is? Do I look warm, neutral or cool?

I'd really appreciate your help! I'm trying to finally find foundations that actually match my skin.

Hey everyone, I'd love to get some makeup advice from you Reddit folks—basically from anyone who knows a thing or two about makeup. I'm attaching a few photos of myself without makeup below.

I just don't know how to do my makeup to look natural while highlighting my features. If anyone could give me some recommendations, maybe some placement guides for specific products, or advice on which colors would suit me best, I would really appreciate it.

Or maybe you could tell me if I have any celebrity lookalikes, so I can take some notes from their makeup artists!

I'll be super grateful! 🫶

Hi everyone, I’m 32 and was really into makeup back in 2016 but obviously makeup now is totally different, I’ve spent weeks watching tutorials but not sure im applying things correctly (bronzer & blush specifically) any help & advice is appreciated.

Hey! First time poster, my eyes dark dark blue? Grey? Idk but I would like to enhance them, but I am not sure what would make them pop since they're so boring, any tips? Thanks!

Hey everyone!

So at the moment I have 30 mins to get ready - skincare, makeup, breakfast, easy to style hair (shower the night before). Without sacrificing sleep, I can’t have longer to get ready

Does anyone have any product or technique tips for simple fresh faced/glowing makeup that stays put? For context, I do have genetic fairly dark circles which can make me look tired so that’s a priority. I also struggle to layer skincare as they need time to settle which I just don’t have! So recs for skincare products that sit well under makeup would be amazing too 🙏

Spf wise, Bondi Sands works well on my face and I actually just use that as my moisturiser in the morning - although it’s okay idk if that’s actually a good idea or not??

(Also I live in the UK so must be available here)

I started doing my makeup again and used the huda beauty setting powder but it made me cakey. I used the setting powder first then I used maybelline fit me pressed powder does anybody have tips about how to stop cakeyness?

Can anyone advise me on what might suit me please? I'm never happy with my makeup and always feel washed out and ugly lol. In this photo I'm wearing concealer, brow pencil, blush and a little bit of mascara. Thank you in advance

It has a trio of 3 colors and they are very cute

The feeling of dry skin is a huge sensory issue for me, so I use quite oily face care products, but the downside to that is when I want to use any product on my eyes, it just won’t stay put.

If I use eyeshadow, it creases, and if I use eyeliner, it’s disappeared by the time I leave the house!

Can anyone advise me on the best products available to help keep my eye makeup in place, whether it’s the makeup itself or primers etc?

Sorry for the absolute dead eyes in both pictures I feel like I allways do a deer in headlights look in photos.

I'm not really sure how to do makeup that suits me? Like even when I do heavier makeup it dissapears on camera ig.

I try ro focus on bringing attention to my eyes to try and distract from my skin but I really struggle with Eyeshadow since my eyes are hooded

I’m hoping to get some expert advice. 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!!

i usually go fairly light and focus on my eyes and my spock brows haha. i have consistent acne and a fairly big nose which i only contoured in the last photo. i feel kind of bored with my look and would appreciate advice on new additions and changes :)

I never use any foundation or concealer and sometimes I think it makes me look weird. Last 3 pics is me using bronzer as a light “foundation” base. It’s peak summer in GA so I’m not wearing any heavy bases.

Nyx lip tint oil as blush and as liner
Mascara
Inner corner shiny green on silver usually
Or some deep red shade for my eyeshadow look with a shiny corner
Lil gloss

EDIT: by look weird, I guess I mean it looks strange when I have blush and no base. Almost like it’s missing this seemless edge. These pics look p good though looking back.

I’m wondering if I add a small contour below my blush , maybe that’ll help? I dis that in the pic with green eyeshadow and star clips in my hair

Also are these colors right for my skin tone ?

EDIT: also , should I invest in lashes? Would they elevate my look or add to that not seamless vibe I’m talking about. And sweaty girl approved lashes?

I used Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink 155 Savant lipstick
