/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I bought Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet earlier this month. I really like it.

I'm currently working my way through:
- Escada Marine Groove
- Lady Gaga Fame

My favourites are Chloe's Narcisse and DNKY Be Delicious in Red but I've ran out.

>>8087529
I'm really loving the female Light Blue by D&G. It's such a rich smell.

Coach's Poppy or Poppy Blossom if I'm wearing sweet or classic lolita, and Victoria Secret's Fearless with gothic.

How do you hide thick scars? I'm a make up newb and the thing won't take anything I've tried on it.

>>8087538
I have a sample of that I am really considering buying the full size when I am finished! It is so perfect for the spring and summer <3

I gave my mother a bottle of Beyonce's Midnight Heat and ended up buying a bottle for myself. Its delicious.

And ever the favourite, Vera Wang's Princess.

My favourite perfumes are:
- Dolce & Gabbana, Intense
- Tocca, Florance
- Tokyo Milk, Tainted Love

I also really like
- Balenciaga, Florabotanica
- Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet
- Dolce & Gabanna, I can't remember the name but it has a white flower on the top and is a white floral.

I only have Intense and Florance fullsized and Florabotanica and Tainted love in rollerball. The others I have names and not names are sample sizes and I will probably by them soon enough. I love my parfum <3

I live off Beyonce's "Rise" and Rihanna's "Rebelle". Rise one just smells so classy and 'official'. Rebelle's a little bit more chocolatey and homey.

I'm holding off on buying anymore perfume until I finish at least one in my collection. Currently I have:

- Valentino Valentina
- Jo Malone Red Roses
- Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir
- Tom Ford White Orchid (which I don't think they make anymore)
- Diptyque Volutes
- Diptyque Eau Rose
- Tom Ford Neroli Portofino (this is technically my husband's by I wear it in the summer)

I really want to get either Tom Ford Santal Blush or Diptyque Eau Duelle but I can't justify buying anymore perfume when I have seven mostly full bottles of stuff I love at home.

>>8090627
How thick is it? Concealer is better at disguising colour rather than texture, you need some sort of filler product to disguise it if it's raised/sunk. And Dan makeup on, don't rub

Black Opium by YSL. I've heard people complain about it being too girly or immature or whatever but I love it so much, especially for winter. Used to wear Euphoria by Calvin Klein.

>>8091863
Maybe about half a cm thick. It's not super raised, my biggest issue is that it crosses into an area that needs contouring, so when I try to apply darker color, it doesn't take and there's just this light trail of skin noticeably in a darker area of my face.

>>8090627
special effects wax perhaps. where is the scar?

>still using killchan
>not using temptalia

ayyyy lmao

Anyone recommend a sweet/dessert smelling perfume?
Bonus points if:
Chocolate, Marshmallow, or Strawberry-scents

After going indie and niche, I cannot bring myself to use most mainstream perfumes anymore, even high end stuff; it all just smells like alcohol to me. My mom gave me Candy by Prada for Christmas, and it was like wearing sweet rubbing alcohol. Armani anything, and Chanel no. 5 are the only ones I still like. Chanel makes me feel like a bitchy old woman wearing a fur coat.

>>8092142
Yves Rocher used to sell one which smelled like chocolate and oranges; I still have it, it's so nice. Also I think Lolita Lempicka had a very sweet scheme.Also in most asian shops you can get eau de toilette in typical cutesy scents like strawberries and cream or cotton candy.

>>8092173
Seconding Lolita Lempicka, also Nina Ricci

What do you guys think about Tokyo Milk? I've been really interested in trying it.

I'm not much of a perfume person, but my parents bought me Lady Gaga's Fame for christmas and I really like it.

Anyways, what foundations do you guys like? I'm looking for something with sheer or light coverage that isn't a BB cream (or maybe if it's a lighter BB cream, but the ones I've tried seemed a bit heavy-feeling to me). Currently I use MAC's Face and Body. I really like it and the shade is pretty much a 100% match for my skin, so I might just go buy a 120 mL bottle since for the amount it's cheaper than some other foundations, but I've been wanting to try something else a little lighter. The F&B can be a bit heavy sometimes.

>>8092155
Oh? Please gift us with your hipster funk and let us smell not of alcohol, but of 'trying much too hard to be cool'.

>>8092246
Why so defensive, anon?

>>8092142
http://www.fragrantica.es/notas/
Scroll down to where it says "aromas dulces y gourmand", choose the one you want, hunt down for fragances.
Also can someone recommend me one "powdery" perfume? Some days ago I smelled chanel nº5 and I loved it, I think it was the elegant powdery scent, but when I try to explain people so I can find something similar, no one seems to know what I'm talking about.

I normally wear fruity scents like Viva La Juicy or vanilla body mists, but could I get a recommendation for rose/flowery scented perfumes that aren't "old lady" type ones (if that makes sense)?

>>8092265
Maybe try to look for perfumes with aldehydes? I know Chanel no. 5 is formulated with it, and I think that's what gives so many classic perfumes the 'old lady' scent.

>>8090646
>my nigga

-D&G Rose the One
-Tocca Giulietta, Bianca, pretty much anything
-Kate Walsh Boyfriend
-Armani Acqua di Gio
-Dior Addict

>>8092155

what's your new scent, musk hippy or Eau de Anime Con

>>8092294
>Eau de Anime Con
Ya caught me.

Also,
>-Armani Acqua di Gio
I got this shit on a whim, and wore it for a month straight. Those cool, oceanic scents draw me in every time.

>>8092190
>>8092173
>>8092265
Bless your souls. <3

Can someone give me advice on a way to make my BB cream/foundation match my skin tone or recommend me a really white one? I was using Yves Rocher whitest BB cream (which I was told it's literally "marketed for albinos" by the counter girl) and skin79 orange BB cream and both are have gotten too dark. Also I'd prefer something with good coverage because I'm following a treatment which is leaving my face terribly scarred.

>>8093242
People keep talking about Missha having really pale shades right?

While on this topic, I'm considering getting Misshas Perfect Cover in 13 as well, but I don't know if I want to risk ordering something online and then having it be wrong. When I went to MAC, I was matched to their Studio Fix in NW10 but it was still too dark so I don't know what that lady was on.

>>8092271
I'm using Daisy at the moment, fresh floral scent yum

I'll hijack just cause'.
I'm a dude with really dark black circles under my eyes near 24/7. Doesn't matter if I sleep 8+ hours or a mere 6 hours, they're there. Tried ice packs, facial masks and all that shit but it just keeps coming back. My father also has it so I'm pretty sure it runs in the family in some way.

Do any of you seagulls know of some good eye roller stuff or something else that'll work well?

Pic related I guess.

>>8093242
Are you sure they're too dark and it's not just mismatched undertones? I've noticed it's quite a common thing for people to complain about being far too pale for anything when really they're just off in matching their undertones which is what makes it look like it isn't working.

>>8093405
It could be this, since I don't really know exactly which undertone I have (I guess it's probably pink) but since one has pink undertones and the other has olive and they both are too dark I guessed it wasn't this...

All of you retards that order full sized foundations and bb creams without knowing what the shades look like in real life need to stop being retarded and order a bunch a different sample sizes so you can test all of the colors on your skin and find a truly accurate shade and undertone. There's tons of sellers on Amazon and Ebay if you don't know where to go.

>>8093242
>>8093327

>>8093540
Adjust your bust before it combusts, my nigga.
When I ordered this two BB creams they were the right shade or me, but now I am actively using a whiteting treatment, which is the reason why the BB creams BECAME too dark for me.
Step up your reading comprehension senpai.

>>8093347

Water, drink a shitton of water. Eyebags are caused mostly by dehydration or water retention. So drink up lots of water. It's magic. Also, get some good moisturizers

How did you learn how2 make up, anons? Where's a good online source for information? I'm seeing recommendations but then others completely shooting them down as awful. I'm probably doing very awful with my makeup. I use primer, a BB cream, cover up, a powder, and then (failed) contouring. Please correct me.
>captcha: newQu

>>8093735
practice, practice, practice, and keep looking at youtube until you find something you like/looks good on you. You can also go into something like Sephora and ask them to do your make up for you, or what looks best on you and then just practice that.

>>8093347
Working out also fixes this problem (I don't know why, though).

>>8093735
cgl makup guide

Anyone have recs for solid perfume or perfume oil?

Is winged/cateye liner still a thing? I think it works on my eye shape, but I don't want to look like a retarded middle schooler. So is it still 'in'?

>>8093327

Missha 13 is super hard to find samples of when I tried. Here's some swatches I did on the underside of my arms so you can see how the Missha compares to the Skin79 orange.

Missha is definitely more pink than the rather yellow-beige toned Skin79.

>>8093971
lush has some nice solids! they've changed their packaging since I last purchased though, so I can't really speak to the new packaging.

>>8094890
If it isn't, I guess that sucks for me. I won't stop though, any other eye makeup makes my eyes look small and the asymmetry of them becomes extremely noticeable. So unless anons have some other suggestions, I'll take retarded middle schooler over borderline FAS face.

>>8093242
Have you tried the lightest maybelline one? It's not very full coverage though

I wish this thread would be billboard to any and all cons.
Also at the bottom in all caps: stop smelling like shit wrapped in heat blankets.

>>8093971

I got some Japanese solid perfume from Hannari-ya (you can probably find it much cheaper elsewhere if you look) a while back that's peach blossom scented. It's very nice. Sweet and fresh and pretty true to life without being overwhelming or smelling perfume-y. They make a bunch of other fragrances too.

>>8093242
Ilamasqua does actual white foundation

>>8094907

Fair enough. I just don't have a lot of people in my life who use makeup that I could ask. I will continue to draw on my tiny eyes for now, then.

>>8094919
yeah and its shit. even that brand's lipsticks are bad quality despite the price.

>>8094913
Is it really that bad, anon? I've been to "cons" only back in the days (late 90s) in my country and back then the culture was very niche and people around me smelled ok. I keep reading these awful experiences people have with smelly con goers and wonder why it's so. Aren't people ashamed of smelling bad? I work the entire day, but showering at night and in the morning keeps me smelling pretty good. I don't get it.

>>8094890
Don't worry, it's still in. Experiment with wing shapes, sizes, double wing, etc. it's a great look.

>>8095424
This, even when I'm unable to shower (camping, backpacking, cycling trip) I still have wet wipes and antiperspirant. Most people I ask tell me that I don't smell at all, do some people really not use those? So far I haven't witnessed any smelly congoers

>>8093242
Stargazer makes white, water based foundation. Mix some in with your current BB shades to match.

>>8095059
What makes you say that? I've used illamasqua foundation before and liked it.
The only thing I've found is to shy away from the sale stuff because a lot of it isn't long off going off and when the foundations go off they separate and go unusable.

What are your go-to false eyelashes for cosplay? What about your go-to "natural" looking falsies for going out?

>>8093242
Mizon's Snail BB is pretty pale, and the snail filtrate supposedly helps heal scars and blemishes. can't offer any other reccomendations though, sorry

What is your favorite lipstick to wear with darker coordinates? Ones with a main color of navy, black, etc. I'd like to try a cat eye with a more deeply colored lip to balance it but I don't want to go overboard with it.

>>8092224
I have pic related. I like it a lot and the other scents in the collection were nice too. Love the packaging as well

>>8092224
I really like Tainted Love; I am just not sure what it be like on me.
I have been using Missha BB Cream, but I recently got a Buxom foundation and I can't wait to try it out.
Stila put out some tinted moisturizers - that might be what you are looking for?

>>8095424
It's bad. Con funk. Stale booze, hormonal sweat, nervous sweat, overheating, lack of bathing, it's all there. I'm really surprised more people don't fuss at roomies in these situations and have 'house rule' of daily shower with hair washing. Yep, it's bad.

>>8097422
I got Mizon Snail BB in a few days ago but I'm wondering if I got a dupe. It goes on chalky as fuck for me. Anyone have similar issues?

>>8093333
Seconding Daisy! also, Daisy eau so Fresh. It has a sugared violet note in it that made me fall deeply in love.

>>8093347
I feel you bro. As another anon said, stay really well hydated. B vitamins help. Unfortunately sometimes the pigmentation of dark circles are genetic or it's the way our faces are structured. there isn't much to be done about them, but moisturizing with an eye cream that has niacinimide towards the top of the ingredient list helps. Cerave makes a decent one for cheap that also has alot of humectants to keep the area moisturized. Good luck.

Can I hijack for skin care question? Sure I can!

Does anyone have a suggestion on cleansing pads I can take to work with me? I find I start to feel oily towards the end of the day.

>>8097476
A lot of the negative comments towards dark lipstick being overboard I noticed where all on people with already big lips.
I don't know if that's you (its certainly me) but if you wanted to go with a dark colour, I feel the best way is to balance it off with hair that isn't flat, or too pulled back so we're not just staring at a black hole?
If navy I'd choose a cooler plum. If a warm colour, I'd choose a warmer one.

>>8095424
I have a sister whose just barely mentally disabled that she can get to cons when they're happening, yet is mentally 11 and bathes when she chooses to, on top of a horrible diet with obesity.
She's got the disability alibi, but her whole friendship group is like this. When I hear those stories I think it's just another one of them.

>>8093971
I'm glad you asked this, I was curious too. I never bought a solid, but was curious about people's experience here.

Do you think it fairs better than liquid, or just something easier to carry in the purse?

>>8093347
Makeup exists for a reason.

>>8097476
NYX matte cream in copenhagen (deep red) and translyvania (deep plum). Not high end but I love them.

>>8093540
>see missha 13 get recommended
>search eBay for single samples
There's none! Same for a lot of products.
Unless I missed a hidden gem, there's no way ordering samples from a Korea makeup online store is cost effective. Inb4 Amazon, they don't service my country.

>>8092155
If you are gonna say it, spray it - what are you buying that I haven't heard of?

>>8097660
I would mist with MAC fix+, blot with paper towel and re-powder. Cleansing pads will mess up any makeup. Otherwise, oil blotting sheet with or without powder on them.

>>8097679
Thanks! My lips aren't big but I'm hearing you on balance.
>>8097689
Thank you, I'll look at these next time I go to Ulta. Better to try thrm thsn something high end until I'm sure I'll like the darker colors. Great ideas.

>>8097699
I actually got the matte cream while looking for the darkest colors Ulta had to offer in december-ish. The second darkest was some butter london lippy that I bought first and it was thoroughly disappointing. Spent forever swatching every "dark red" on my hand only to see them look candy apple out of the tube.
If anyone else has recommendations for dark reds and purples I would greatly appreciate it! I wouldn't mind spending more than the $6 NYX costs if it's nice.

>See all of these posts about celebrity-branded perfumes.
>Immediately feel off-put.

I.. I think I'm a perfume snob, /cgl/. I can't help but think of celebrity-branded perfumes as cheap, tacky, or for young girls.

I only wear Paco Rabanne's Black XS, which is becoming a bitch to find in Australia. It's a dark, musky floral.
I've also taken a liking to Anais Anais, though, so I might pick up a bottle for winter. It's 100% pure, undiluted old lady smell, just like talc powder.

>>8097732
I feel you, anon. Celebrity branded stuff is American and bad quality. I can't imagine any self-respecting adult woman wearing celebrity branded perfume.

>>8097747
Why man?
I get these as gift sets all the time (don't even listen to their music) and I've been complimented more than my hand could count on them. Maybe you get more compliments on your perfume, but it's great news compared to the absolute zero before I just used deodorant for basic protection.

How do I get glossy lips that last more than 5 minutes?
I don't lick them or anything, as soon as I put anything that says "super glossy!" On it it dulls out.

Is it actually impossible to get the "My lips are coated in a immaculate sheet of glass" look or am I buying terrible products?

>>8097755
The secret is nail polish.

Actually I'd like to know the answer to this too, it plagues me.

>>8097755
>>8097759
thirding this, i have plump black girl lips and gloss looks really good on them rather then lipstick.
although i can say the nyx glosses are pretty good! thats my daily go to but im still looking for something better.

>>8097755
>>8097773
Lipstick, powder, lipstick, powder, clear gloss. You might need to reapply the gloss to keep it super slick, though.

Can anyone link me to a good makeup guide? I can never find a good concealer/foundation/powder etc.

I buy it and then never wear it.

>>8097729
I'm looking at My Beauty Addiction at the moment - you might like Cranberry, Voodoo, and possibly Violetta if you want an actual purple. Their samples are $4 for 3 different colours, and they seem to give you a decent amount - the full sizes are only $5.50. I'm most interested in their dupes for vain and technopagan since I know I won't wear those colours that often, but want them, so sample size sounds perfect.

I'm currently working my way through a Coastal Scents palette because although I like the idea of lots of lipstick colours to choose from, I don't usually wear anything regularly other than plums and dark reds. For dark reds and purples I actually own, Revlon's Colorburst in grape and Revlon colorstay liquid lipstick in bordeaux are my go-tos, plus Wet n Wild glassy gloss in 'a glass of shine'.

The colorburst because it's a swipe-and-go-out-to-dinner for me, although doesn't last through meals.
The colorstay is my 'running late apply in the car' one, and actually lasts me all day.
Wet n Wild is the 'chuck in the handbag' one or the one I use over other colours for nights out, it definitely does that glassy thing for the first quarter of an hour-half hour then is more like a regular glittery gloss, stays about as well as the colorburst and leaves a faint stain which may or may not be your cup of tea with a lip gloss. It feels a bit gritty sometimes and smells like generic cheap lip gloss, but I'm not really complaining cos it was like $2.

Flower bomb - Victor & Rolfe.
I'm trash. This shit smells so musky, but some how I'm addicted to it.

Best places to get asian makeup?

I'm hooked on Haus of Gloi perfumes right now, I really like Samhain from their Halloween collection, but I got a sample of Peach Mama with my last order and it's wonderful.

>>8097911
eBay

>>8097755
MAC lipglass. It's much more sticky than regular glosses though. But that's what makes it last.

BPAL master race role call.

>>8097939
Check. Seraphim here, and a few imp ears.

>>8097877
I like the smell of that on other people but I sprayed it on my wrist and 1/2 an hour later it was gone.

>>8097966
You mean a tester?
Aren't those meant to be watered down versions

>>8097984
Afaik they are the same as the versions they sell, not watered down. A shame too, it smells good. Some fragrances just do that on some people, fade very fast. I checked with my friends and they couldn't smell it on me either so it wasn't just my nose being used to it.

Has anyone here had any experience with demeter fragrances before?

Friendly reminder to all seagulls who use perfumes.
When out in public e.g. shopping or having a meet/tea party, don't shower yourself with your favourite scent. There are plenty of people who're sensitive to strong smells such as perfumes, smoke and heavily scented deodorants.
When applying perfume (be it bodymist or any eau), spray once lightly on the inside of your wrist, rub your wrists together and if you really need to, brush your wrists lightly against your neck.
Perfumes and scents aren't supposed to smell to another person as they pass by. By old etiquette you're not supposed to smell someone's scent of choice unless you come close enough to hug/talk quietly.

>>8098075
I got Black Russian (way too sweet and boozy) and Black Ginger (light, not much throw). Both of them are pretty dilute and don't have much staying power. I liked the black ginger though, it was very fresh and had just enough spice.

>>8097939
Mah nigga. Sonnet d'Automne 2014 is my go-to right now, but I'm eyeballing a lot of those VILF scents. Those notes are speaking to me.

Can anyone recommend a perfume that has a dark, rich scent without coming off as too masculine? I'm admittedly quite new to the perfume scene but I do know that sugary florals aren't for me.

>>8097483
Yeah the packaging it what pulled me in first, then some of the scents sounded interested to me after reading them.

>>8097503
Hm, I totally forgot about tinted moisturizers. I'll have to try that one in store! Are BB creams heavy-feeling in general? The one I bought (garnier) and the one I tried from my friend (no idea which one it was, sorry) just felt a bit heavy, even greasy and I wasn't much of a fan. Tinted moisturizer sounds exactly what I'm looking for though - most of the time I don't like putting something heavy on my skin since I don't really need it, just some light evening-out of the skin tone.

>>8097948
>>8098229
Fuck yeah. I wear Tweedledee or Love & Sleep in summer and Dorian in the Pumpkin Patch in winter, plus like...10ish imps or so that I wear every once in a while. I'm thinking of getting a full bottle of Dorian or Katharina. I'm also eyeing a lot of the lupercalia stuff, specifically a few in the Shunga series, but I need to figure out if I can actually bring myself to buy a perfume bottle with straight up porn on the label.

tfw my favorite perfume is from Taylor Swift

>>8097533
I haven't tried this one yet, but I've tried on a similar CC cream with that snail stuff listed on top of their ingredients and I've noticed that it applies fine, but ends up feeling chalky after it settles on my skin.

>>8093417
You can do a vein test on your arm. If your veins are blue/purple you have pink undertones. If they are green then you have yellow undertones. If they are both, you have neutral undertones.

I've been trying to find a nice vanilla perfume, but the only one I've liked is one from L'occitane that I haven't seen stocked anymore? Does anyone have any recommendations?

>>8098115
No.
Pat, don't rub and 'sillage' actually measures the distance the fragrance trails so the closeness test is bogus too. If you are that sensitive, stay home in your bubble. Don't expect others to accommodate you and your special sensitivities.
If you can bear the strong coffee/food smell of any eatery then my perfume won't kill ya.
>5 full sprays of my stanky white flower scents.
>No fucks given.

>>8097504
I've never run into any really stank ppl at cons but most of the ppl in my university's nerdy related club smell pretty nasty. Like its one of the reasons I quit. Their stench would fill the room

>>8098542
Some people are actually allergic to perfume and they shouldn't have to stay home because people choose to be jackasses.

>>8098542
I think there is a huge difference between people showering themselves in a perfume and people applying a regular, reasonable amount that doesn't fuck over asthmatics or people with sensitivities.

I have had trouble at cons and in day to day life with people (men are actually worse about this on the subway I find) being too heavy with their fragrance, and I think it is kind of people to remind others to be aware of their application.

Sorry to be rude, but sensitivities to perfumes and fragrances are not the same as being grossed out by food scents. They're caused by different things even! (Though I honestly wonder why you put coffee as a strong scent and not bo or something more stinky and common as an example?) If you notice people's eyes watering when they walk by or stand near you then please tone down the perfume, I'd like to pay my bills and grab my groceries in peace.

Though now we can segue to asking how all of you apply your perfumes?

>>8098999
strong is not the same as unpleasant.
and I have yet to see anyone's eyes water from perfume. sorry the whole world can't be accommodating to your delicate princess nostrils but if it really bothers you that much you ought to stay home.

>>8099107
I have a friend who is allergic to lavender and she does get watery eyes and other symptoms just by walking by somebody with lavender perfume on them.

>>8099122
I've got a friend who gets watery eyes because she's allergic to bullshit. Suck it up, people can't and shouldn't know what you're allergic to and no-one should bend over backwards for you.

>>8099140
Putting on perfume in a more subtle way is bending over backwards?

>>8097755
Moisturize, line, lipstick, then gloss. For super shiny use MAC's lipglass or Dior Addict gloss.

>experience

>>8099199
Sometimes you just can't be subtle. I use perfume oils which are, admittedly, more concentrated, and my reducer cap only lets out a single drop at a time. I wear maybe two or three drops max, but the sillage is so high that you can still smell it without being right on me.

I do try to be accomadating to people with allergies, but at some point you can only do so much.

go to your closest department store and ask to smell this.
it is incredibly powdery, NOT WOODY for some reason idk. but this scent really makes you feel like hot shit
even if you are cold diarreah

>>8098542
Food/coffee smell is basically natural while your "stanky white flower scents" are chemicals. People weren't designed to snort chemicals to their nostrils. But YOU should've been designed to take other people into consideration.

>>8100114
>muh chemikuls
please kill yourself, everything is "a chemical"

>>8090627
A light reflecting concealer is your best bet for sunken in scars if your not willing to use a special effect wax. It won't erase the problem yet it will make it less noticeable.

I found benefit makes a great concealer to cover up extreme differences in color, it isn't a highlight cream. It is the BOI-ING concealer, comes in a couple few colors.

I don't know if it'll work for scarring yet I use it to apply concealer to places that are open or have an uneven texture; I use liquid band aid. I let it dry then apply my concealer over it.

Warning: After four to five hours the "band aid" will start to flake. Please know this. You'll have to reapply makeup with this method.

>>8092224
Does Tokyo Milk still make their old scents? I like the Kabuki perfume by them. I can't find it anymore, just the black collection.

>>8099107
>>8099140
Are you serious?? You talk like you think people CHOOSE to be over sensitive to strong chemical smells. People are born with the sensitivity and it often gets worse by age. Then there's people with asthma and those who have asthmatic symptoms.
The fact that you refuse to spray just a little less of that stank of yours for the sake of someone's breath tells me you're a a lazy, self-centered bitch.

>>8092224
You could try those newer liquid foundations. I've been using Maybelline's Fluid foundations and I like the application. It can be layered for extra coverage.

I know the Maybelline is a knock off of the "Dior Star" fluid foundation. You should try the 'Dior Star' if you got the cash. I now the Maybelline offers more coverage then a BB cream yet feels lighter to the touch then American BB creams. (Never used on from Asia.)

>>8092273
>>8092265

Night Magic by Avon I'm pretty sure has that scent. Outside Chanel No. 5 and a few others, it has that "musk" scent that smells better once it is on someone.

>>8092155
You should try Auric Blends. It is a oil based perfume line. (It uses essential oils yet is blended to be used with perfume in mind.) Of course, you have patchouli and the basics yet you can buy others.

I liked Black Opium (Although I wear alcohol based perfumes as well), it is a stronger scent. They make both light and heavy scents that are unisex for the most part.

I warn you, stuff is oily. I have to put in on after showering and let it dry for a couple minutes.

>>8100119
Did you even read what I wrote?
I'm not here to teach you bio/chemistry, there's no arguing with a person who's just decided to be a dick.

>>8097939
What scents do you have? I wanted to order some but the wait time threw me off.

>>8093242

You can blend it down to your neck; use a tanner on your arms/legs. That is a lot of work. I know many girls who do this.

If you'd rather embrace your pale. New brand, I find the fashion brands only get so pale. Revlon actually goes pretty pale in their ivory line; I've noticed that among other brands. Also, if your almost albino, Manic Panic makes two formulations for "white" skin. One of them is actually a "pure white" makeup for goth face... the other have a sheer hint of tone... it is still "white". You could consider giving it a try.

Do you use face powder? I've noticed on myself powder tends to oxidize pretty dark on me.

I have some Alkemia perfumes, but I wasn't that impressed with them and won't be getting any full size.

My favorite right now is Adamus from Possets. It's a scent for guys, but it smells so good I don't care.

>>8093242
Now, what one anon said may stand. I'm not as pale as you but I'm guessing I'd fall exactly one shade up from you in most lines.

I do find many brand here do not match the tone of my skin. They are too warm and will show up "dark" because of the contrast.

>>8093347
I stay hydrated, sleep relatively well, and shower when I get up. The showering in the morning seems to help. I understand if they never go away. I'm a girl and have this problem.

I wear makeup but I can understand as a dude not wanting to... I have to use yellow cake makeup and then cover it with foundation to get rid of mine.

Try showering in the morning when you wake up and thoroughly massage the eye area. It'll help, a little.

>>8087529
How do I even into perfumes, I feel like all the different scented products would clash... I'm using a body lotion and a perfume from the same line right now, with a vanilla scent.

Also, is Max Fix+ worth buying? It's like 23 dollars where I live, and I'm not sure I wanna pay that much for something that's mostly water, but it seems like such a useful thing to own.

>>8093347

Also, I found a lot of success with face creams. I use one with licorice, vitamin C, and some other nature shit before bed when the lights go off.

Alternatively, go to a derm. That is if your eyebags are from discoloration and not swelling.

>>8098542

I agree that super strong perfumes can definitely cause allergies.

A common on is cinnamon based scents. There are quite a few people who start having respiratory difficulty around scents containing cinnamon-derived chemicals.

I won't stop wearing perfume in public. I've definitely refrained from wearing in the workplace per request. My last place of employment I couldn't wear anything with cinnamon notes or my co-worker would have to get shot with an epi-pen.

>>8100165
Then start with vanilla perfumes. Vanilla, sugar, and that family of scents is fairly common in high end perfumery. Try using an unscented lotion on days you wear notes outside of vanilla.

Go to your local store, preferably a high end retailer, and ask them for their best selling perfume that is vanilla. As your purchasing it, explain you don't know much about perfume and would like to explore different scents.

You'll be able to get at least 2 to 3 vial samples of different perfumes to try so you'll be able to try them separately.

Amber, verbena (lemongrass), cinnamon, musk, sandalwood, lychee, sandalwood, mints, and citrus are scents you could look for. I like vanilla and find those tend to work for me too.

>>8098115
Also, many people are allergic to Bath and Body Works lotions, body mists, candles, and perfumes. Axe and Old Spice (The sprays) are also common to cause allergies. I find a high end perfume won't cause allergies unless, like the cinnamon allergy, is is due to a specific chemical.

Usually people only react to scented deodorant if they themselves wear it. I promise I won't shove my armpits in your face. For those allergic, I recommend rock salt deodorant if all unscented fails.

>>8097732
I don't think your a snob.

In a lot of retailers, Celebrity created perfumes are marketed way cheaper then Paco Rabanne, Chanel, Gucci, Thierry Mugler, and the ilk. It is kind of like Neiman Marcus versus Sephora.
And then there is super low end perfumes like Kabuki Milk, TokiDoki, Gwen Stefani's line, Avon...

I can't afford a super expensive perfume; I would like to. I don't see anything wrong with being a perfume snob.

>>8098546
I honestly don't understand how they are not aware of the smell. I'm not calling bullshit on you.

Don't you notice if you start to smell? Like, when deodorant fails you. I do. I notice if I start to smell. I go shower and put on more deodorant. I don't understand this frequent occurrence.

>>8100212
Exactly. I don't see what's so complex that people fail to notice when they are smelling. You just do. And hopefully do something about it. I am not even saying showering yourself with perfume. If you're sensitive, a bath, unscented deodorant and a subtle body cream or spray should be more than enough.

>>8100143
I'll check them out, thanks, anon! I mostly wear BPAL and Smell Bent right now (Chile Vanilli and One are my loves), but I'm trying to expand and check out more Etsy places and other brands

>>8100188
I shall do that, thank you!

Also, just realized I typed Max Fix + rather than MAC Fix +... asking again if it's worth buying, or if I could just get something cheaper, like ELFs setting spray for example.

>>8100181
>super strong perfumes can definitely cause allergies.
That's not how allergies work.

Any recommendations for eyelid tape? Ones that aren't shiny or noticeable?

>>8093347
Do you eye cream?

>>8100212
I honestly think they just get used to the smell if that makes any sense? They stop noticing it so to them the smell stops existing, even if everyone else is dying. (The same can be argued, to beat a dead horse of those people who wear a certain perfume everyday and use more and more because they think they need to in order for the scent to stand out. This honestly is such a thing amount 40+ year old women and teen to twenty something men. I'm really confused at why a bunch of young femanons are getting so over defensive about it when, in my experience, they're not as often the ones who do it?)

>>8100311
This, 100%. Unless you're using one of those crystal deodorants. They seem to work for people who don't sweat much, but every hippie dude I knew who wore that shit stank hardcore.

>>8097939
I just looked into this and holy shit. This is exactly the sort of weird pretentious shit I like.

Any BPAL anons have favorite scents? I'm not big on florals or stuff that smells too drug store-ish.

Any recommendations on foundation/powder? I'd like to buy some this weekend. Don't know what to get.

>>8102105
Check out Dorian; it's a site favourite. Scents depend on your body chemistry, so really it's best to just try and see what you like. You get two imps (sample sizes) with every order, more if it's a big one. I just wing it with my orders, and go straight for full bottles, but if you're unused to perfume oils, you may want to stick with imps until you find something you like. I recommend registering for the forum, and buying imps from there; they're rather expensive to buy from the Lab itself.

I like viva la juicy, but the one i always go to is Jessica simpson fancy

Is there a spreadsheet anywhere like the spreadsheet for clothing but with makeup stuff instead?

>>8087529
>tfw allergic to most perfumes

Friend got me into Black Phoniex and I've been having way too much fun with em. So far my favorite scent is Orc from the rpg series Which doesn't smell like an orc, but more of a juicy, sugar, musk smell? Almost like watermelon but not.

Ok I got a question-

Anyone know where I can find good BB Cream in bulk? Not like huge amounts, but more than the usual tiny containers of it? I don't like having to restock things constantly.

If possible, a pretty packaging is always a major plus.

>>8106132
There was, but I believe I heard somewhere that the girls who were updating it finally ragequit because people were being cunts.

>>8106197
ah...well is there an incomplete version of it somewhere at all?

>>8106199
I believe I heard that they took it down.

This is all hearsay, so anyone with more info could chime in too, lol. I never saw any of this go down.

>>8106137
iktf, even sensitive skin soaps make me itch and turn my skin red and scaly.

I really love Trader Joe's 'A Midsummer Night's Cream' moisturizing cream. It's labeled as 'unscented herbal blend' but it actually smells like mochi and fruit to me. It's pretty much the only lotion I've ever encountered that worked well with my skin, and I love the smell.

>>8106217
dang, guess I'll have to use google translate. thanks anyways though!

>>8094895
I ended up getting the vanilla one and it's great.

>>8097682
I use it because it's easier to carry and it's less overpowering (probably because you have greater control over how much you apply, compared to spray). I like solid perfume in tins, and while I like perfume oils, my three oil roller balls have all started leaking within a few months.

>>8106193
I'm not sure how you're going through BB cream so quickly (I go through one tube in a year, and I practically wear it every working day), but you can buy 10-bottle packs of BB cream in roseroseshop's "wholesale" section.

>My beauty addiction
The tube of orange lipstick I bought from them was grainy as fuck and fell apart inside the tube. The color was awesome though.

Sort of off-topic, but I really need help with this. When I get stressed out my armpits get wet and there seems to be nothing I can do about it. I've tried all kinds of deodorant and bought the 'clinical strength' stuff to no avail. My latest purchase was a clinical strength one that's supposed to fight against stress sweat but it doesn't help at all.

Is there something I can do that I haven't tried or do I need to go to some sort of a doctor?

>>8092224
I own crushed and it smells so good. Like a green, slightly natural scent. Mossy almost. I highly recommend it.

>>8097753
I personally (not the OP) can't stand celebrity perfume because of tge massive scent trail it leaves. You should only get a whiff of perfume, not fill the room.

Personally, depending on what I'm wearing it's Modern Muse or Tokyo Milk's crushed.

>>8106193
I wouldn't get more than one years supply anon, that could be like 3 bottles but I dont know how much you want

Makeup deteriorates, just cos it isn't edible doesn't mean it doesn't have a shelf life..

>>8106941
Don't they recommend the jars anyway because of the texture? Did you get the lip paint or the lipstick? Since I'm not looking for everyday colours the feel of it is less important than colour payoff but that's good to know

>>8107003
Armpit guards.

I only have three at the moment:
Beyonce - heat rush
The gaga fame
and a body shop strawberry one.

Seriously love beyonce's perfumes though.
I used to have the heat one and will probably end up with another one from her because they just smell like heaven (also fairly cheap so I can afford them).

>>8097939
Florence is the only full size I have, but I can only wear it when I'm in a certain mood.

My favorite imps are Elf, 51, and Shango. I keep eyeing up John Dee and need to buy more imps soon.

>>8107017
What is a good bb cream to get?

>>8107969
One that matches your skin tone. If you aren't between NW/NC 20-30 you aren't really going to have the luxury of much choice in terms of Asian BB creams

I really like Alien but damn perfume is expensive I'm saving up.

On a side note you guys see jeffree star cosmetics new liquid lippy shade? I'm tempted it's pretty gorgeous.

Can anyone post make-up guides?

What are my options if I have large pores on my face? Makeup always looks bad on me. I can't find anything that smooths out my skin.

>>8106199
The beauty board on hachichan has it, I think.

I got Dot and it smells light but fresh and pleasing not too suffocating. I also like love by perris ellis.

>>8107984
Any brands to look for or avoid?

Can we just talk about how fucking amazing kabuki brushes are for a second?
>I mean, damn. How fucking amazing are kabuki brushes?

I've got three - One for my cream foundation, one for a loose powder and one for loose blush powder.

They're just fucking amazing.

>>8108101
You'll have time to decide on the lippies, they are all out of stock. They launched on Black Friday so this isn't exactly fresh news. I'm waiting for some actual good wear-test reviews before I think about them though, not just people putting them on or swatching. The real test will be how they wear over 1/2 a day or so and if they can be touched up without a complete re-do, if they leave an awkward outer ring after eating/drinking.

>>8110621
>>8110621
I think they were referring to the new shade he has coming out. But yes I agree I'd prefer to know how they do throughout the day before I buy one

Anyone have any make-up brush recommendations? My old MAC one is finally going, and quite frankly I'm sick of the brand and am looking for a change.

A couple of beauty bloggers I follow have been recommending Sigma, but for a brand so cheap I can't help but have my doubts.

>>8087529
In Lolita I really like Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle and Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire.

What make-up removers do you seagulls use?

For heavier BB creams the old nightly cleansing routine doesn't get all of it off, and I'm still washing stuff out of my pores the next day. It's gross.

>>8110935
Lumene waterproof eye makeup remover. It's fair gentle.

Any good advice about some natural or subtle makeup for lolita for pale skin, cold/winter undertone and dark brown hair ? I have big eyes and i'm white so the lolita asian tutorials dont work so good, also i don't use circle lens or fake lashes.

>>8110935
Regular double-cleansing works for me. I first apply mineral oil, let it sit for a minute, and then wipe off with a warm microfiber towel. After that is CeRave hydrating cleanser.

>>8110899
I adore the Real Techniques brushes. They aren't too expensive and do a great job

>>8110602
Why, anon? Care to explain? I'm pretty ignorant in make up area, sorry.

>>8097755
Put a layer of Vaseline over the color. I know it sounds weird but it gives it a glossy look without any of the stickyness and the color stays intact

>>8110985
have you tried the new metals collection? I'm curious if they are as good. I'm a fan of the regular ones.

I use Ponds cold cream. Mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to bother with a hot washcloth for an oil cleanse. You can just wipe it off with a tissue before your face wash.

Girls, which bronzer do you use for contouring?

>>8112937
I don't use bronzer. I use a cream palette for countouring. It has eight different shades and blends really well. Got it on e-bay, I think it's a knock off of a more upmarket palette but it seems to be a pretty popular sell anyway.

Speaking of contouring, when I try I always end up looking... dirty. Is it a color thing, or am I just not blending enough?

Will be lurking for contouring recommendations in case more get suggested.

>>8112948
That always happens to me when I use a darker shade. No matter how I blend it ends up looking like I've dirt smeared on my face. Maybe opt for a shade or two lighter?

>>8112937
I am pale as fuck so I use a light tan eyeshadow from a palette of nude shadows I got.

>>8112948
You're probably using a color that's too dark, as >>8112949 said. It really only needs to be a shade or two darker than your skin tone -- any more than that and it looks weird.

>>8112949
>>8113028
Thanks! I'll try out a lighter shade; hopefully it'll work out better.

>>8113028
>>8112943
Thanks! I never thought of just not getting it since I'm getting it for my boyfriend and he's pale as fuck.

>>8113104
No problem!

Seriously, do consider getting a palette instead of just one contouring colour. You can play around with the different shades and find out what suits you! I've seriously pale skin so I got quite a shock when I went to use some of the darker ones for the first time. It happens!

And as >>8113028 mentioned, light eyeshadows work wonders too. Like Tease from the UD Naked palette. I've seen recommendations for MAC's Taupe here a few times as well.

>>8110958

Im looking for tutorials not meant for asians.
I want to look cute but alot of tutorials use the asian eye folds as guide lines.

>>8110958
>>8115502
this one is for asian eyes, but it seems like it might work with a little adjusting for other types. my everyday makeup looks similar to this.

>>8102105
I myself am a ZOMG Smells fan, but I am absolutely in love with BPAL's Othello, which is musk, spices, and roses.

I've also heard awesome things about Snake Oil from BPAL.

I've been using tokyomilk's La vie la mort recently and I really like it. Smells like roses right before they start to rot and stink. I have a friend who uses it with her classic dresses and it's a nice combo.
Anyone have any recommendations for rain scented perfumes? Like the sharp, clean smell when it first starts? Seen a few advertised as that smell but the site either looks super sketch or I can't find any reviews.

>>8098542

Could be too dark, not blended enough, or wrong undertones for your skin. A lot of the contouring kits coming out these days are all leaning cool or warm so you really need to experiment. CoverFX is actually coming out with 6 cream contour kits soon that all have different undertone and shade variations.

As for perfume, I currently have Thierry Mugler's Alien, Armani Si, and Elizabeth and James Nirvana White in rotation though my actual perfume stash is a big larger than that. (that's what happens when you work for Sephora and have little self-control)

What are some good places to get false eyelashes? I'd like to find some good extension and bottom lashes. Are the $1 lashes on ebay ever any good?

Does anyone have positive experience with eyeliner stickers?

>>8121786
I'm sure it's cheaper and easier to put tape over your eye and paint on the line. That's what I do.
then correct it with vasoline if you still manage to fuck it up

>>8121786
I've worn some from Sephora but they were better shaped than those in your picture. I reinforced the sticky back with lash glue. They felt about like wearing heavy lashes. I liked them.

>>8121789
Literally this. My eyeliner game has gone through the roof since I started using tape.

>>8121789
>>8121825

It's not the wing I have issues with, it's my eyelids.

>>8121838
Like what do you mean anon? Just follow you're lashes with your applicator. Like right against the lashes.

>>8121858
Doesn't matter what type of eyeliner I use it always end up looking like a 3 year old took a crayon to my eyelid. I expect this is a result of awful eyesight and lack of a steady hand. Oh and the whole practice, you'll get better thing never panned out. I've tried for weeks on end.

>>8121869
Try something like this? And seriously practice does make perfect.

>>8121869
have you tried using liquid eyeliner? i can't use pencil eyeliner for the life of me- it looks horrible and i just can't make it go smoothly across my eyelid. even felt tip isn't too great for me. liqid eyeliner with a good brush is like heaven imo, it's super smooth, just make sure you don't have too much on the brush or else you'll get a big dollop on your eyelid. sephora's liquid eyeliner is my favorite, and it's only around $7 i believe.

>>8121869
I was like that in high school too. You will learn, but do what you like

>>8121976
tried it, tailed

>>8122023
I've tried liquid, felt tip, slanted pencils, regular pencils, gel on a brush... I am apparently helpless.

>>8122035
Unless there's some magic voodoo spell I think I may be cursed to never master it.

>>8122138
What do you want then? Some kind of magic spell that will make you amazing at eyeliner? Anons have listed options and you shit at on them saying "thanks for suggesting things but i suck anyway so whatever lol". Stop being so self deprecating and go watch some eyeliner tutorials on youtube, or look some up on pintrest and PRACTICE. Maybe get someone irl to teach you. I don't know what else you want people to suggest.

>>8121976
Not the other poster, but I have a really uneven lash line, which I think is why I am so terrible at eyeliner. Should I pluck the lashes above this or just try to accomodate for this?

I accidentally a whole bunch of stuff from Etude House. Anyone have any strong feelings about their stuff?

so how many of you retards are still buying this garbage lol

http://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/comments/2vukwy/has_anyone_had_any_instances_of_fraudulent/

so question.
do you put your eyeliner on before your eyeshadow?
ir do you put your eyeliner on last after applying your eyeshadow?

i figure if you use tape, you'd need to put it on first right?

>>8122208
I have a slightly uneven lashline and whenever I pluck a little, it looks better as a whole even without eyeliner. I would definitely recommend that you (carefully!) Do this.

>>8122208
I have a couple that grow in high and I do carefully pluck them. One did come back ingrown one time though and it was painful and swollen. Now I pluck them very slowly so the root bulb comes out too. If it were more than 3, I'd probably just snip them very short every few days and use a thicker liner look for my makeup routine.

>>8124951
using tape can help with eyeshadow application, too. I do my eyeliner after my eyeshadow because I feel like it gives me a cleaner line.

>>8122229
>I Need you Mask (2014) Snail Mask
I love this one and will definitely repurchase if they don't discontinue it. I wish they sold it as a serum tbh. The package also has tons of serum and you can also squeeze it out of the mask (lots still in there) when you're done your 20mins to apply to other parts of your body.

I haven't tried the other stuff on your list but one day I'll get the lip patch just to try for kicks. I really like their dear my jelly lips, it's like a non-sticky light gloss look with some color.

>>8124951
Eyeliner after shadow unless you want shadow covering your liner.

If you are worried about the tape messing up your eyeshadow, just put the tape on before eyeshadow, so all your makeup follows the same clean line.
