Oops, didn't mean to type "color" before "drugstore". I'm on painkillers now and not 100% lucid

Does anyone have any recs for a good foundation for cool toned skin? Makeup stores keep recommending ones that are very yellow and I can't seem to find any info about it on most brands' websites.

>>9291533
Any gulls opinion on Models prefer brand? I want to start practicing my make-up more and their eyeshadow palette looks good for beginners

My parents got a Mishibox
so far I recieved
I'd like to say these prices were the cheapest i could find online for these products, and in parenthesis what the booklet in the subscribtion box says how much they cost
>light purple blush
$5.30 (8)
>green snail intensive cream
$17.50 (25)
>Prelab skin energy mask
$4 (4)
>no:hj mud mask
$3 (2)
>lip pallete sample kit
often given for free with makeup purchases (5)
>a blue breaded bracelet
free, as a thank you for "supporting mishibox"
I'm actually impressed that I got this for $20 (minus shipping)
too bad I'm meh about half the products they gave me though. looking forward to the next month. anyone else use beauty box subscriptions? I have friends that swear by Ipsy

>>9291553
I used to have a glossybox subscription but it was pretty useless most of the time and they often send out stuff that you can't use or have no need for. I got some hair lightener for blonde hair once despite filling in ginger as my hair colour in their survey and they send out a lot of foundation samples in some generic half-dark shade.

>>9291542
I'm cool toned/very pale and the foundation I currently use is by Lancome. When you're looking at colors they'll have a letter to specify if it's warm, neutral or cool. It's pricey so if you're looking for something drug store I also used to use the True Match foundation by Loreal which also has a selection of colors that are specifically cool toned.

I have sensitive skin that reacts to weird and specific things so keep that in mind...

Not a fan of matte lipstick, but to each their own.

I went to Nordstrom Rack yesterday when gift shopping and oh boy. I didn't realize they had makeup because they had a lot of nice stuff for like half price or less. Check your local one if you wanna go nuts on Urban Decay and Too Faced like I did.

>>9291683
Mine has an okay selection, nothing like that though. Mostly old holiday sets and palettes from the previous year, which are fine if it's something that doesn't go bad, like eyeshadow. I scored a Smashbox On the Rocks palette for ~10 last December (though it was a year old at that point). They always have tons of UD primer potion and OPI nail polish in discontinued colors for really cheap though. For anons on a budget who don't mind out of season products, it's definitely worth checking out if there's one nearby!

The overcontoured drag queen look. I'm good with not looking like I transitioned.

I've never used any makeup before, is drawing some lines on my face to look like Kira a good idea or should I stick to only eyeliner and mascara?

Also a read on the colour would be nice because I still don't know what colour they are; I think hazel?

>What makeup do you wear daily (if any)?
BB cream or foundation (depending on if i'm going to the store or work), brow pencil, brown eyeliner for tightlines, and mascara.

>(If you wear lolita or another jfash) What makeup do you wear when you get dressed up?
I usually do basic brown/pink eye makeup, add lip color and blush in addition to basic daily makeup.

>Favorite color drugstore/cheap products?
Not cheap, but Burt's Bees' BB cream is the only one i've been repurchasing. I have very pale and dry skin, so their shades work for me and the formula is very nice imo.

>Favorite mid to high end products?
I like mixing KVD's lock-it foundation in 42 neutral with a drugstore dewy foundation for the perfect shade and finish. Also, Too Faced's hangover primer. It's probably the most expensive thing I wear on my face, but I can't get enough of it.

Tips for doing eye makeup with bas eyesight? Best tips I've gotten are get a magnifying mirror and do eyeliner from the wing inward instead of from the canthus to the wing

>>9292333
I'm legally blind and honestly, I do my makeup by feel. It looked really shitty at first but it only took me a few weeks to really get a handle on it, and I can do everything, including lipstick and eyeliner, without having my face 4 inches from the mirror now. Winged eyeliner is a no go though, since I can only line my lashline by feel. If you have somewhat decent vision, you might be able to get the hang of it eventually.

I just practiced a lot, and took pictures after each makeup application to examine once I could get my glasses back on.

Thanks, I'll go check them out

>What makeup do you wear daily (if any)?
None, it's a real weekend/after work thing for me. I generally keep my brows groomed, get 4 weekly lash extensions, wear tinted lip balm and try to keep my skin clear. I'm very into my multi step Asian skincare.

>(If you wear lolita or another jfash) What makeup do you wear when you get dressed up?
I wear japanese influenced gothic and gothic lolita. Generally BB cream, contour and highlight, smokey or natural eyeshadow, generally a dark or unnatural lipstick. I have gone off eyeliner and mascara because it kills the longevity of my extensions, but given that summer's well and truly here in Australia I might give my lashes a break and go back to my liner and mascara.

>Favorite drugstore/cheap products?
W7 eyeshadow palettes, some Revlon lipsticks, Maybelline BB cream, colourpop lippie stix, MBA lipsticks (in sample sizes because there's no way I'm getting through a whole tube of blue), Whoisshe lip composites (I bought the lip stax so they work out at $3ish each).

>Favorite mid to high end products?
Naked eyeshadow palette, Urban Decay lid primer, MAC prep n prime

>Favorite Asian products (of any price bracket)?
BB cream! I currently have Canmake and Sana ones which I love. I also had an awesome Shiseido foundation but did not use it enough to justify the $50 price tag vs my $15 BB creams. I like the cutesy packaging for a lot of the lip tint/balms, so tend to buy from Korean brands like Tonymoly, Etude House and Too cool for School

>>9292333
I have one bad eye and one really bad eye. I often put my contacts in to do my makeup, or go slowly/by feel and regularly check with my glasses back on

Any channels for a more Korean/Japanese look? I'm tired of seeing the same smoky eye in 90 different recolors, which doesn't look good on me no matter how many asian american v-loggers tell me it does. I'm trying to learn the basics of especially eye makeup again, but I'd like it broken down from an Asian approach.

And yes, I've tried smoky eyes and I've gotten it right. It just isn't the type of makeup for me.

And please, not the chick who uses q tips as a blender and lip gloss as blush. That's just gross.

>>9292143
I would recommend doing a harsh sharp contour, but if you're not familiar with makeup, it'll probably look like dirt, so you'd be better going without.

Just make sure to go bold with the eyeliner and eyebrows.

>>9292506
I only follow Pony, but I'm fairly sure that most Korean, and to a much lesser extent Japanese, Youtube makeup gurus produce videos subbed in English.

I slept on NYX Butter Lipsticks for the longest time and the Soft Matte Lip Creams are the shit but it depends on the color bc i find their quality to be very hit or miss.

Eazy. You have "beautiful" type eyes.

hooded and round seems right

>>9293609

>>9293623
>>9293628
Alright, so another question. Should I just look up how to do make up for round and hooded eyes or just hooded?

>>9293636
Hooded, because many people who make tutorials for round eyes have defined double lids, and those tutorials won't help you. Round eyes just make you look cuter/younger, so if that's the look you're going for, it won't really be an issue like hooded eyelids will be.

Any tips for an anon who has never had false eyelashes? What are good brands for doll like and natural looking eyelashes?

>>9294230
Pick one, you can't have both doll like and natural at the same time

>>9294291
Maybe they need examples of both - one for everyday and one for lolita/cosplay?

>>9294300
For a more natural look, go for lashes with a clear lash band. Individual/cluster lashes will look the most realistic, but if that's too much of a pain, go for half lashes
For more doll-eyed looks, you want pointier lashes and emphasis on the middle of the eyelid as well (a super pointed cat eye look won't make you eye look round). Dollywink is an obvious choice but there's also Diamond Lash. I usually wear both upper and lower lashes when I go all out in lolita

>>9294324
thanks!

>>9294324
How often does Dollywink eyelashes usually last?

Does anyone have experience with the seller Rainbow-Japan on eBay? They have an item that's hard to find (MAJOLICA MAJORCA Jeweling Pencil in Red Jewel.

you're being paranoid.

4000 shill accounts, while not impossible, is unlikely for something like eBay. I think you'll be fine with this seller.

If you want, search the shop's name and the item in this Feedback Selector. If it's a regular item they sell then there should be some reviews on it and the seller.

Help, help! I've damaged my face pretty bad right now and I don't know what's the best way to go about it. Please advice.

So I deiced to have a nice facemask night, and put on a Green Tea, smooth skin gel on my face. It's the kind that hardness in 20 minutes and you peel it off. I'm guessing it had some sort of alcohol in it becasue it left that nice tingaly very light burn feel?

And because I'm a genius, and I decided to wax the tiny little hairs off my top lip, like I do every month the same way I always do, with a little bit of Nair cream.

I wait like always, ten minutes, nothing's wrong. Then I wipe it off, and OW FUCK. I'm like why does it hurt so bad? I look in the mirror and notice it's a little red. Ok, no biggie, that always happens. I go do my thing and I smile and it hurts. I look in the mirror again, really get my nose up to to it, and shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I've BURNED OFF the skin where the wax was. It's very light, but it's 100% no flesh. I can see the nerves.

SO! This is where I need help. Should I let the area just breath naturally for the night? Should I put lotion on it? Maybe some aloh? I don't want to keep putting chemicals on my face and then making another reaction where it permanently damages or stains the skin or something.

tldr; burned my stupid face. What do!?

>>9295135
Anon, this would get better answers in the skin care general or by a doctor. You can go to your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for their recommendation.

>>9295135
You go to the doctors as that is a chemical burn. Do not apply anything else to it bar cold water on a damp cloth as it'll potentially damage your skin further.

>>9295135
put some first-aid burn gel on it

Who has tried Sugarpills Trinket? I was really excited for it, but I found it's extremely drying on the lips, i'm pretty disappointed. Are most glittery/shimmery liquid lips like this?

>>9293909
Shu Uemura have some pretty good white liners last time I checked.

>>9295251
Liquid lips are always drying, even the stock photos look dry and gross. Either deal with the dryness or go back to conventional lipstick formulas

>What makeup do you wear daily (if any)?
Usually for class I wear foundation, concealer, powder, eyeshadow, mascara, and maybe a lip tint/oil.
>(If you wear lolita or another jfash) What makeup do you wear when you get dressed up?
Same as above but I go heavier on the eyeshadow and I wear actual lipstick along with gloss, and maybe eyebag makeup as well.
>Favorite color drugstore/cheap products?
I think the Maybelline Fit Me foundation is the best foundation period.
>Favorite mid to high end products?
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette is so good, their colors are incredibly pigmented and smooth.
>Favorite Asian products (of any price bracket)?
I'm pretty boring about this, but the Chateau Labiotte (Labiotte Chateau?) wine lip tints are good until they start slowly crumbling off your lips after seven hours. So I'd say the Etude House Cute Eyes maker is best.
>Makeup trends you like/dislike
The eyeliner. I hate how long the wings look. I also hate the exaggerated eyebrow look.

Color correction powder goes over liquid foundation, but below blush/setting powder, right?

Can anyone suggest drugstore (matte) lip products, that won't dry out my lips?

I'm looking for (very) natural and subtle shades, as I have a tendency to apply lipstick and then wipe it off. I don't want anything that's glossy or has any type of shimmer because that's really not my thing.

>>9295830
nyx soft matte lip creams

So naturally because I'm slower than slowpoke…
I fall in love with the one shade of NYX glam liner that is sold out everywhere.

Anyone know if its going to restocked/or if its for sale anywhere?

Im looking for the nude.

>>9292143
Face lines are never a good idea. Agree with >>9292508 for heavy contour, also (not makeup related) but purple contacts will help you stick out, too.

>>9295833
I heard they're quite patchy, and don't wear very well?

>>9295830
Matte like liquid lip matte or more of a satin like traditional lipsticks?
By matte do you just mean no glitter or a totally matte finish like liquid lipstick has?

>>9296340
I'd prefer a matte finish, but I know that's pretty difficult if you want to avoid dry lips. Traditional lipstick always looks really shiny to me? I don't want anything with a gloss or a shimmer, as it really doesn't suit me.

>>9291533
i absolutely love babylips products, My favorite one right now is the chai tea one

I have yet to let myself loose on ebay/amazon to get the ones I don't yet have

Lookimg for beauty channels that do honest reviews (so many beauty bloggers give everything positive reviews)
I'm already subscribed to Tati and Stephanie Nicole

>>9296490
I really like 'Thataylaa'. She always gives her honest opinion on products.

>>9296338
Not that anon, but if you're getting natural/nude shades then it's fine. They're very comfortable and last a decently long time on me.

I'm a guy and never used makeup before
I want to start cosplaying and using it for that
where do I start?

>>9296582
I'm guessing you want makeup to look better for photos, not necessarily to crossplay (if so, check the crossplay thread's resources).
I'd recommend checking out Alex Faction on Youtube, he mostly does SFX stuff (which you could also use for cosplay) but he has some men's makeup videos as well. He uses a lot of high-end products though, this thread here does list some good drugstore products if money's an issue.

>>9296582
I'd recommend two makeup channels to watch: Wayne Goss and Jordan Liberty. They're both no-bullshit professionals who bring interesting, new techniques (Wayne Goss' buffing technique is GODLY for a good base). For a focus more on actual looks, Lisa Eldridge. For facial feminization, I'd recommend studying drag makeup techniques and mtf transformations.

>>9296561
Thanks, anon. I'll give them a go!

I'm fairly thin but I have a double chin and I'm quite sure it's due to genetics (my Mother is extremely tiny but has always had a slight double chin herself).
Are there any good products or techniques for contouring a double chin that I can do daily with light makeup? I'm starting to feel extremely self-conscious about how I look because of this and I don't know why it's just starting now because I've had the same face my whole life lol.

I might as well ask this while I'm at it too: does anyone know if those jaw and chin excersizes that you see on youtube for this stuff actually work? Makeup is a good solution but if there's a way I can get rid of it permanently I'd be happy to try.

>>9296938
Take water pills or only eat protein right before a con or a special occasion. You'll lose water and it should disappear temporarily.

For anyone who's used double eyelid tape/glue, when am I supposed to put it on? Before/after moisturizing and sunscreen? Or during the eye makeup stage?

What kind of makeup looks ita? (Other than general bad makeup of course)

Hello Anons !

I want to buysome good make-up as a christmas to myself, but I'm not sure what to get. I would like to get a really nice foundation. Something really covering but still natural ?

Also any recommandation for eyeliner ? All the one that I used always start to smudge or to wear off and I alwayd end with racoon eyes. I hate that.

And I would like to get a good eyelashes glue... I have trouble putting my eyelashes on.

Thank you Anons !

>>9299146
For foundation either check a list of good drugstore makeup so you don't have to spend a tn if you don't like it. Or go into a Sephora and try their samples. If I had a ton of case to burn I'd get the Smashbox Photo Finish foundation.

For eyeliner you need a waterproof or Urban Decay 24/7

>>9297883
Galaxy fawn makeup

Nah in all seriousness, I'd consider Tumblr makeup to be any kind of unnatural eyebrow, putting blush in places aside from your cheeks, fake freckles, eyeliner so thick it takes up your entire lid, or using Asian-styled makeup on an obviously-white face.

You have steve buscemi eyes. Play around with eyeliner to make them look even bigger. You can totally pull off the uguuu doll look

I ordered Missha BB cream since it was highly recommended for pale and light skin. Can't wait to see if it works for me.

>>What makeup do you wear daily (if any)?
I'm still a newbie, so I'm just fiddling around with different stuff and seeing what sticks at the moment. Right now, I usually just do a teeny little winged eyeliner, some lip stain and bb cream.
>>(If you wear lolita or another jfash) What makeup do you wear when you get dressed up?
Nothing too different? I wear himekaji and some classic, so I may occasionally play up the winged liner, put on some lashes, and a bit of lipstick in a bolder colour.
>>Favorite color drugstore/cheap products?
Goood, there's this one mascara by Maybelline, I think, that I adore. I can't for the life of me find it anymore, but it came in this purple tube and had angel wings on it. That stuff is amazing. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I'd appreciate it if you told me the name. Can't remember for the life of me.
>>Favorite mid to high end products?
I'm loving Glossier at the moment. They have that fresh, minimal look that I really love. Too Faced is one of my favourites, too, at the moment, but I kind of feel like the quality of their products has kind of...faltered a bit since my last purchase?? I dunno, maybe it's just me.
>>Favorite Asian products (of any price bracket)?
I like Dollywink's lashes a lot thus far. They aren't super-duper over the top, which I appreciate. I haven't really dwelled too much in the realm of asian products. I'm dark-skinned so there really isn't much I can use makeup wise aside from maybe lip colour or eye/brow products. Speaking of which, I've been wanting to try that weird peel off lip stain! If anyone has recommendations on what brand I should go for, please let me know!
>>Makeup trends you like/dislike
When people wear drag makeup as regular makeup. I'm just not terribly fond of the whole thick black gradient brow, overdrawn lips, horse lashes, strong contour, strong highlight trend going on right now. It's...so excessive.

>>9299844
Push up falsies or something like that?
There's ads everywhere for it now. It must still be in production
As for the peel off lip tint, the only one I know of is Berrisome. I own a bunch of the colors and really like them but its tricky if you wanna go for the gradient look. Be careful, there's a lot of counterfeits out there and I would recommend not buying it off Amazon and going to a trusted reseller instead

>>9299146
What's your skin type? Mine is oily and I use Lancôme's Teint Idole foundation (the kind in the bottle, not the stick) and I really like it. I'd say it's medium to full coverage, I think the stick version has higher coverage. I would definitely recommend going to your local Sephora or Ulta so you can actually try on the foundation because shopping online for foundation is tricky.
Make sure you get something good to apply your foundation with as well. A good brush can make durgstore foundation look amazing. I love my Beauty Blender (using a damp sponge is also the best method for oily skin) but I think most people use brushes. If you're on a budget, people really like the RealTechniques Foundation Brush 1402.
For eyeliner, I've been using L'Oreal's Infallible mechanical pencil eyeliner since middle school and it's my favorite. Not good if you wanna do winged eyeliner or anything though
Use tweezers to apply your lashes

>>9291533
>What makeup do you wear daily (if any)?
Eye primer + undereye concealer, lip tint, light brow pencil and eyeliner, sunscreen. That or nothing at all.
>(If you wear lolita or another jfash) What makeup do you wear when you get dressed up?
I can only do one type of makeup since I have very distinct features and it took me forever to learn how to enhance them with makeup.
>Favorite color drugstore/cheap products?
Innisfree is my #1 brand. I like most of their products, mainly because the ingredient list is usually really nice and free of filler ingredients.
>Favorite mid to high end products?
I used to use some nice mid-level makeup but honestly most of it is too overpriced for what it does and the ingredients aren't even that good.
>Favorite Asian products (of any price bracket)?
Innisfree's eye primer, matte eyeshadow, auto-eyebrow pencil and lip tints. Heard good things about the eco perfect sunscreen or whatever but haven't tried it myself. Missha's brow pencils, the basic cheapy ones are good.
Asian sunscreens are really nice but I just don't trust them ever since I got a tan holidaying near the Arctic fucking Circle this summer. Granted it's barely noticeable, but if it's this bad here I can't imagine how bad it'd be in the Mediterranean, or South Korea.
>Makeup trends you like/dislike
Dislike:
Instagram hooker makeup, gimmicky overpriced hipster brands like Stowaway Cosmetics and Milk Makeup, the whole obsession with 'natural' (read: thick, bushy and unkempt) eyebrows as well as the gradient drag brow on the other end of the brow spectrum. Gross.

got an unexpected $100 Sephora gift card for Christmas. I think I'm actually pretty set on makeup for now but I was wondering if anybody could recommend some good beginner skincare products for dry skin.

>>9295251
Use a lip scrub before hand!
I have it and my only complaint is that it's got a weird effect on my lips that it doesn't shimmer at first and then all I see is the gold when it does dry. So when the liquid drys on my lips, it becomes a nude color (guess I have mauve colored lips?!) so it just looks like I have gold flakes all over.
So, definitely check swatches before buying.
I also have the kim chi lav shade and it makes me look dead unless I mix it with pink.

I just ordered cubby and nurse lipsticks from their pretty poison set and kitten parade eyeshadow. Anyone else try the newer lipsticks yet?

I'm looking for the too faced blush palette but unfortunately it seems it was a limited edition. The only option left now is ebay/private sellers but I'm not sure what some good rules of thumb are when buying makeup secondhand as there's so many fakes around. Of course any price that's too good to be true is usually a dead giveaway, but what else should look out for? I'm a bit wary of people saying 'oh I don't have a receipt for it because it was a gift' - am I just being paranoid?
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a good palette with more cool toned/pinkish blushes?

>>9300566
I don't have any products, per se, but I've been using a homemade body butter made with coconut oil, shea butter, and EVOO. I've had trouble with dry skin, and I've noticed a considerable change since I've started.

>>9300319
Ugh, I hate Glossier models' brows.

>What makeup do you wear daily (if any)?
Missha BB cream in #13 and mascara
This BB cream is my holy grail color and consistency. I tried the cushion version, but it was so greasy compared to the tube/pump version, so I went back to my old fave.

It does wash me out a little so I am going to try to incorporate a cream blush that's subtle. I'm waiting on pic related from an Amazon seller. I hope it's not greasy like the BB cushion...
>(If you wear lolita or another jfash) What makeup do you wear when you get dressed up?
medium coverage dewy foundation
circle lenses
eyeshadow
blush
half lashes
lip tint

the colors/intensity depend on what fashion i'm dressing in
>Favorite drugstore/cheap products?
I will buy cheap lashes online forever. I consider Missha to be pretty inexpensive. As for local drugstore stuff, I like the lash blast waterproof mascaras. They are cheap and effective as long as they don't dry out.
>Favorite mid to high end products?
I love my Naked 3 Palette and my Kevyn Aucoin contour powder. The pinks and shimmers range in Naked 3 are perfect for jfash and the contour powder is cool/neutral enough for pale skin. I really don't understand the need for western brands to look orange/yellow.
>Favorite Asian products (of any price bracket)?
Missha BB Cream
Dolly Wink eyeliner (It's literally the same thing as the Kat von D liner for almost half the price)
>Makeup trends you like/dislike
I really don't like the extremely sculpted eyebrows with fade trend. I understand its utility for people with sparse brows, but I hate how it's held up as good looking when it looks fake af in the worst way. I also dislike the term glow because it's overused and used to mean different things now. (highlight? dewy finish? who knows)

>>9301165
Those brows look fine; they're not that bushy or unkempt lol.

>>9301202
They look gross and incredibly unkempt. She looks like she doesn't bathe.

>>9301202
They're both bushy and unkempt, anon

>>9297883
In general, if you're trying to make something new/different/unique without being very familiar with the basics of make up, you're probably ita. Like the kids thinking they're super original muas for putting glitter in their eyebags.

Don't try so hard.

>>9301440
>>9301431
They look like normal brows... obviously they're somewhat bushy and unkempt, they're clearly not being made to look like overly groomed instagram brows, but it's not excessive at all.

>>9301445
It's pretty excessive... Bushy caveman brows and instabrows are on two opposite ends of the spectrum and there's lots of different ways to do your brows in between, why don't people get that?

I mean obviously blocky instagram brows look bad but if these are the only two brow styles you know just because they're trendy, you need to do more research. You can still have nice full brows even if you groom them.

>>9301455
The brows you posted are pretty much the same size as the glossier brows, I'm not seeing how they're so much more bushy lol. The only difference between the one you posted and the glossier is that your pic seems to be filled in. Like I said, the glossier just looks like naturally messy brows, it's not excessive.

>>9301445
The main things bugging me are the caveman-tier inner corners and unkempt arch. Those are the two things you should always tidy up (in my opinion obviously, this whole thing is subjective).
You don't need drag-tier arches or sharp square inner corners, it's like how >>9301455 says there's more than 2 kinds of brows.

Yes, they look messy and ungroomed, but not excessively so. They just look like naturally messy brows, again for those in the back.

Dumb, paranoid question but has anybody made recent Colourpop purchases through their website? I heard there was a security breach in may and don't know if the site completely fixed their shit or not

I know this is from ages ago, but as someone who had the same problem as you before, look up 'mewwing'. Basically keeping your mouth closed at all times unless you are using it to talk or eat, and keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth while its at rest. I know it sounds like pseudo-science, but it's actually worked for me. Once you're out of childhood it won't actually help with facial growth, but it will tighten the muscles under your jawline. It will take about a year or two of consistent practice however.

>>9301695
Oh man her eyes are similar to mine, also her BROWS do that upward arch/flat thing mine do that I hate, I've never seen anyone else with that!

So... Eyeliner or no?

Anyone get the Beautylish lucky bag this year? I'm super bummed because I heard the JS Beauty Killer palette is going to be in some of them. Last year I got the Too Faced Chocolate Bar in mine. I'll take any palette other than the shit JS one.

So what do you guys think about Vamp Stamp? I know plenty of people who have trouble with eyeliner, me being one of them since I have extremely shaky hands.

https://thevampstamp.com/

>>9295830
If you're in the right country for it, I really like Clarins lipstick. It doesn't have a shine on it and is available in a load of colours

>>9302682
This is the first time seeing it and it looks great! Too bad winged eyeliner doesn't look good with my eyes else I'd totally order it.

>>9302682
Only thing I don't like about it is that you buy the thing first and then have to wait to buy the actual ink, so it's basically useless for awhile.

Not only that, but you'd think they would include some ink with it. Even a tiny, sample piece, instead of making you buy it separate.

>>9302682
I personally don't like the idea. Good looking winged liner has a different thickness, angle, and curve on different eye shapes. I can already tell from the demo video that this product will look like ass on people with hooded eyes and you still have to draw a line to connect the wing to your eyeliner. I don't see how this will be useful. Just use clear tape if you have trouble with wings. This is a gimmicky cash grab IMO.

>>9302682
There have been similar things that have been tested by YouTubers like Tati.

They're generally pants.

>>9302682
I have shaky hands too; this won't help cause your still having to do the bulk of the eyeliner yourself.

You can just use tape off you struggle with the actual wing, as said.

>>9291542
I use Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless mostly. I get 110 or 120 depending on the time of year. I got a sample of Makeup Forever foundation I really like in R210.

One tip for shopping online is to look at the shade description after you select a potential shade. It will usually tell you which ones are cool, neutral, warm. I know that Ulta, Sephora, and Nars do this.

That's a pet peeve of mine as well, with all palettes, not just that one.
I think one of the Kardashians made a burgundy palette without including any burgundy, and there was also some rose gold palette with no actual rose gold.

Hey guys, I need some advice. I got a set from Sephora in which the mascara was dried out, and had to return the whole set. I reordered it because I love the set and it has tons of good things in it, all of which worked except the mascara, but when I got it in the mail today it was dried out AGAIN. Customer service won't exchange just the mascara and I'm not reordering the damn package again and crossing my fingers. I feel like they should have just given me something for free because of this bullshit but apparently not. Any suggestions?

Are there any good dupes for the Unicorn Lashes brush set? I've looked on amazon and there are so many cheap copies. Have any of you had success buying them?

Is anyone interested in a comparison of essence, morphe and beauty blender (pro) sponge comparisons? I was graciously gifted them for christmas.
Also any suggestions of how i would go about it. Is Comparing them dry, wet and their application of product good enough?

>>9302894
this.
i tried every tutorial and trick in the book before i could figure out how to get a wing to look okay on my eye shape. my eyes aren't hooded, but my crease extends slightly past the outer corner of my eyes, so all the usual techniques either disappear into that crease or are otherwise warped out of shape by the crease. i had to learn to compensate for that.

also i'm wondering how many takes it took for the girl in that youtube demo to get both sides symmetrical on the first try? especially since her natural eye shape looked asymmetrical before she put on the makeup

>>9303925
The only dupes I've seen are on AE don't have the same sheen. Can't vouch for quality of bristles because I own neither the original or dupes. Tbh even though it's likely a gimmicky product, I'm gonna get them when they restock
>>9303824
Yes please. Also you're not supposed to use the beauty blender dry... You saturate it with water, squeeze out the excess, and bounce it

>>9303962
Oops that second one was meant for >>9303949

>>9303533
>>9303368

I really liked the colour choices of the palette until she posted the skin swatches, they all look so muddy.

Really excited for the new liquid lip colours though, im leaning towards getting zero and blue-blooded

>>9303533
>I think one of the Kardashians made a burgundy palette without including any burgundy
It's the Kyshadow burgundy palette. And there is a burgundy, but only one shade and the rest are your average browns and sparkly beiges.

>>9301659
oh, i've never used this site. Is there a reason why don't specify the shed in the shopping cart? and do you need that card to register?

>>9304089

>>9303824
I would email them instead, provide pictures of the mascara, explain how this is the SECOND time the mascara has arrived dried out, and ask for compensation. It's easier for me to more forward in email than on the phone and would've just accepted that as fate too.

What set is it? Can the mascara be purchased separately?

>>9296938
Kybella injections.

>>9303925
I have the actual set from the last release and they're great quality and very sturdy, though I do worry a bit about the thin ends of the smallest brushes chipping.

>>9303962
They're gimmicky, but they're cute. Like the Storybook Cosmetics brushes.

>>9303962
oh yeah i know that. i ment comparing their size wet and dry. Since ive noticed the essance one grows in size.

Anons, I recently moved to europe (Germany) and cant find any BB creams. Is it not a thing here? Im use to maybelines BB cream in light.
After spending the summer here i got drastically paler (im from a sunny state so im use to being a little "tan" without trying and wearing long sleeve year round to combat the tan, tan being "light" colored from most american brands) and most shades ive tried to buy here arent pale enough and now my previous products look too dark and almost orangey.
Any recommendations? I have quite a few DMs and Douglas in the near. I believe ive seen a Rossman who did carry BB cream in a non makeup aisle but they were out of the paler colors.

>>9305737

>>9305737
Order online. They do them in the UK and shipping isn't really that bad (atm). Try http://www.international.boots.com/

>just noticed one of my eyelids droops slightly lower than the other
I also have a wrinkle/another fold(?) between the crease and lid of my hooded eyes, google images only returns pics of asians with this and i'm pretty sure I am not asian

>>9295830
NYX lip lingerie are a range of nude coloured liquid lips that haven't been drying personally for me.
Maybe also Etude house Color in liquid lips like I've tried as well and are not drying on me but less natural colours in that line.

Can anyone reccomend for me Korean brands with full coverage or medium coverage foundations at least? I'm looking for a good one, feel free to reccomend powders as well but I'm mainly searching for a liquid or cream one

>>9307536
Oops also forgot to mention I need concealers as well! Korean and Japanese brands are probably the easiest for me to get for now western brands I won't have access to for the next long while.

>>9291594
Lancome is my miracle foundation. It just looks so nice, doesn't fall off your face and has great coverage. Totally worth the price.

>>9292337
Legally blind anon, I don't know what sort of eye shape you have but I have hooded eyes. I find eyeliner tricky so I actually use medical tape and angle it upwards and just draw a line. You'd probably be able to feel where the tape is, peel it off and then have a near perfect wing you just have to color in a little. I don't know if this helps but I find it's a lot easier than doing free-hand.

>>9292201
Semi-hooded and grey/hazel. Your eyebrows look perfectly normal too, not sure why you think they're too big or hairy.

>>9307540
I completely agree with this.

How should I go about achieving a :3 mouth? I tried Anzujaamu's tutorial for Neferpitou, but the character I'm cosplaying smiles a lot. I can't seem to get the mouth to work.

Does anyone have any recommendations for tan toned bb cushions or tinted moisturizers? Light to medium coverage preferred. Pic related doesn't have my shade but it's freakin cute.

All the foundations and bb creams I've tried always seem to give me this caked up look and it always feels heavy on my skin.

Stage makeup is meant to be exaggerated so that the face is still readable to audience sitting far away. Stage brands come in more unusual colors and have very dense pigments and are formulated to be able to resist lots of sweat and moisture and paint over skin as well as latex and foam.

Expensive Sephora brands are meant for everyday and elegant makeup that still seems natural.

>>9303533
>>9304028
I have that palette, and it contains two type of burgundy colors. One obvious matte burgundy, and one subtle sparkly burgundy. Also contains one peach matte. And the sparkly beiges are actually two types of gold.

So that makes 2 colors that live up to the name, but honestly the golds are so pretty, I'm glad she chose that, rather than more burgundy colors.

>>9308914
I just might! Thanks Anon.

Still looking for some help with the :3 face makeup tho!

Looking for some critique/advice on my eye makeup with hooded lids and eyebrows.

I've been following Wayne Goss' tutorial for hooded eyes with the Too Faced Peach Palette but I don't feel like I'm quite there yet. The colors look really bold in person and I feel like a goober when I go out because I normally wear just a single color all over my lids. As for the brows, I've been using a NYX brow gel in Blonde and I think it's a nice step up from my almost transparent brows. I'm trying to keep those simple and avoiding the Instagram trends at all costs.

Are there any techniques out there for an everyday look or do I have to wear this "two-toned cat eye" every day for eyeshadow to be visible? Any YouTube videos I should refer to? Better brushes? I'm all ears!

>>9309054
Your eyes look cute! I think a little more blending is in order and in general practice your shaping so you don't get big blobs on the side so of your eyes

>>9309054
Your eyes don't seem terribly hooded. I think it looks nice! I sometimes try to make a "fake" crease with a medium/dark color with my Naked eyeshadows in a matte brown color. Perhaps extend the color up a bit as well?

I also do a sharper, slightly thinner, and darker brow than you to try to open up my eyes a little (didn't read this anywhere, ymmv.) I think you run the risk of making the hood more apparent but I like the look on me. If you bring the eyeshadow up more, it might be okay.

Btw, your eyelashes are gorgeous, what mascara are you using?

>>9309072
Thanks! I think I need a better blending brush. I use a Sonia Kashuk one but it's very stiff. I've read that Urban Decay makes the best brushes but I'm kind of cheap and want to try an e.l.f. Studio one instead.

I do the folded tissue trick (just like you would use tape) and the eyeshadow is a nice angle but when I blend it out it goes higher than anticipated and turns into a blob. Should I be applying it lower than desired?

>>9309091
Thank you as well! I've been trying to bring the shadow up but I'm not used to so much color so it ends up getting blending out. I've seen the technique of making a fake crease but I thought it was for more of the Instagram eye makeup. I'll play around with some nude/brown colors and see if that helps! As for eyebrows, I've read that if your eyebrows are too thin then it leaves a lot of "empty canvas" unless you cover your entire lid with shadow. My brows don't have much shape but I've been planning on going to Sephora and asking for some eyebrow samples/advice.

I wear 2 coats Urban Decay's Perversion mascara! The formula is very wet and often times I get some on my eyelid if I'm being sloppy but other than that I really like it! It's the first mascara I've purchased a full sized tube of.

What general makeup tips do you have for cosplays of younger characters? Currently trying to figure out blush and I'm not sure what to do for eyes that won't look like too much.

>>9309110
Be careful with blush. See this diagram? Placing it anywhere except for the "square" one or high points of your face will make your face look gaunt and aged

>>9293729
The clear-dry one was sold out one day so I had to grab the one that dries black. Never bothered to try it before.

It bolds the lash line and fills the gaps between lashes (my lashes and falsies are near-black, if they were lighter I might search for a brown adhesive). I can skip top liner and tight-lining entirely, which makes makeup removal a breeze. No reason to go back to clear unless I'm using light lashes, bottom lashes, or gluing gems to my face.

>I avoided it because I am lazy
>now I use it because I am lazy

So skin79 green BB cream has saved my skin, it is the perfect shade and so nice to my combo skin, I hardly ever get acne when I use it. But I am having a real hard time buying it these days. The Skin79 North American website is completely non functional, and no one updates what the real packaging is supposed to look like anymore so I am kinda scared to buy it from a secondhand source.

Any ideas on where to buy it now? Or if not, maybe a good alternative? I really liked the color, once it oxidized a bit it blended in seamlessly.

>>9309623
Have you tried jolse.com? They sell lots of korean make up so you could look it up there

Did anyone else buy into the Sweet Peach hype? I purchased the eyeshadow palette from Ulta because I had a coupon and rewards points and the blush from the Too Faced website. My orders came in on time but I know a lot of people didn't so the company emailed everyone a 40% coupon code good for an entire order. I got 3 lip oils (2 for my sister) and the Primed and Poreless powder and to my surprise they sent a Sweet Peach makeup bag as a little freebie! It's not the same as the one on release night (I believe that one was velour) but I am excited regardless.

Even though they bit off more than they could chew by assuring everyone would get their orders by Christmas Eve, I think Too Faced did the right thing by emailing everyone a coupon. Sure, they could've refunded people the cost of shipping but they could have also done nothing at all. After all the heat they were under this past year from being bought out by Estee Lauder (who tests on animals) to releasing low quality/lackluster products, I feel like they're trying to set things straight now.

>>9310066
I'm actually a really big fan of their primed and poreless pressed powder. It doesn't look flaky on me like other powders. I have not tried any of their peach line yet because I wasn't very interested, except for the lip oils. Could you review them if you have the time?

>>9310073
I'm glad to hear you like the Primed and Poreless! Now, do you use it as a primer or setting powder? I've read good reviews for both methods but intended on using it as a setting powder.

I'll post a review later today! I want to see how it looks/feels when first applied and after a few hours.

>>9310066
I was one of the lucky ones to get this palette during the initial release last year and honestly I'm very happy with the colors, but the smell is not at all what I expected and I don't love it which is why I use it less than I do the chocolate bar palettes. I haven't been paying much attention to the rerelease drama but since I expect the other peach products to smell like the palette I'm really not interested in picking up anything else in the line. You're totally right anon, at least they're trying to do -something- after not being able to make good on their holiday promise.
Also that font they used on that makeup bag is something that should've been left in 2016. Tacky af.

Need to make fake freckles for a costume
How do I do it so it looks realistic and not tumblr?

>>9310096
I use it as a setting powder.

>>9310102
The smell is so strong and artificial in the eyeshadow palette! I think it's died down a bit (or maybe I've gotten used to it) but it definitely wasn't what I expected. I got rid of my Semi-Sweet palette because I was only using 2 colors but I do miss the smell. The peach blush has a very faint scent and the lip oil's scent is similar to other fruit-scented glosses.

>that font they used on the makeup bag is something that should've been left in 2016
The whole look is a bit gimmicky at this point but I love the little peach emojis so I'll let the font slide.

>>9310136
Do you use the little puff applicator that came with it? I tried using that but I didn't feel like any product was being picked up so I used a large powder brush but I think that left me looking a bit more powdery.

As for the lip oil, it's pretty okay. Pic related is my bare lips, what the color looks like upon first application, and after a few hours. To be fair, I did eat so maybe that caused it to wear off faster than normal. The consistency is not sticky though and my lips felt hydrated for the most part so I do like that.

The issue that Tumblr has is that they do them too large or too dark, or too sporadically. Freckles are usually concentrated the highest on the nose and cheeks, don't just cover your face in spots evenly.

Is there a good way to clean one of these sponges? I'm a guy, and only recently started using powdered sunscreen, so I have no idea how any of this stuff works, and all I could find on google were tutorials on cleaning little pads or actual sponges. This thing has like a strange mesh inside of it, and I'm afraid of destroying it...

>>9310456
Put some baby shampoo in warm water, swish the sponge around in it, then rinse the sponge out until it's clean and gently squeeze out excess water. Let it air dry after that.

>>9310463
ok, thanks.

>>9310308
Thank you for the review!

I use the puff applicator to apply it. You could try using a wet beauty blender or a sponge, I think that might help.

>>9309110
Little to no eye make up. No harsh liner. Neutral mascara (brown if your wig is blonde) and no falsies.

>>9310472

Thanks for the info!

Not sure if any gulls are interested, but OCC is have a 40% on regular products and 25% off sale products that is going on until this coming Monday.

I'm trying to figure out what mascara to pick up next ... I've been using UD's Perversion and I love it, but it does bleed a bit from time to time, and I want to try others to see if there's anything I'd like better. Is Too Faced's Better Than Sex as good as the hype suggests? I have straight eyelashes so I've also been thinking of trying Benefit's Roller Lash (I hate their packaging so I've actually been avoiding all of their products so far) Any suggestions?

>>9310654

I think it depends what sort of lashes you have. If you have lashes that curl easily like my friend's, better than sex is probably really good. But if your lashes are like mine and are stubborn even after 4-5 pumps of your trusty eyelash curler, better than sex has a tendency to weigh them down, get clumpy and tends to fall out onto your lower lid.

I like benefit's 'It's real' mascara personally. It definitely adds volume to my shitty thin lashes and makes me look like i have something. It also doesn't weigh down on my curled eyelashes.

Honestly though, if your eyelashes aren't 'verge of none and takes 15 minutes to get them to look like anything' like mine, maybe it will work though.

>>9310669
Wow, thanks for the heads up! That would have definitely been really bad for me, since we are definitely in the same boat for eyelash curliness. Even after I manage to get them to curl decently, they usually end up being weighed down after a while. You would say It's Real is better than their Roller Lash formula?

>>9308945

Welp. I only come to cgl for makeup so excuse my retardation senpai

Anyone have any favourite BB creams? I used to use Etude House's Precious Mineral Bright Fit (in NO2, eg palest) and that was my absolute holy grail for my combination skin that goes between oily to borderline flaky in areas. Then, they discontinued it so I tried one of the "new improved" Precious Mineral line in Blooming Fit, which is streaky and shiny rather than dewy. I've tried mixing it with a matte Revlon foundation, but that just added in cakiness (and honestly, mixing foundation in the morning is a pain in the butt for the lazy). I've heard good things about some Missha BB creams, but I wanted to know if anyone with similar skin had other recommendations.

>>9310737

I use Misha Complete and I love it. However, I have dry skin. I don't see there being a problem, it might help with your flakiness, but if you use it on its own I can foresee you looking maybe too oily since it's a dewy finish. If you have a good finishing powder that should clear up the problem completely though, and personally speaking, it improved the texture and colouration of my face. Great for really pale people like gingers too.

>>9310739
Sorry, Missha* ... it's late, and maybe I was thinking of Misha Collins subconsciously idk

>>9310739
Sounds like that might suit, I'll give it a look! I have a decent translucent finishing powder from Makeup Revolution and really only get oiliness on my t-zone so I shouldn't need too much. (Also the brand makes me think of Misha every time so no shame from me)

>>9310736
Nah it's fine, although it's not cgl-specific. Every board has it.

>>9310129
Haven't given it a shot myself but I've heard there's a sort of "stippling sponge" that's sparse and good for applying the look of fine freckles when used with a light/medium brown, so you could always investigate that

I never, ever wear makeup because I break out if I even look at my skin the wrong way. I'm getting together my first lolita coord though, and know that to avoid looking washed out and unfinished I need to apply some good makeup.

For someone with sensitive, oily skin, does anyone have some guidelines for a complete beginner?

Probably important to mention that I have very pale skin and dark hair, and I'll be wearing an ash blonde wig. I've used techniques with foundation in the past to lighten my brows for cosplaying blonde characters, but I know what works for cosplay does not apply to lolita in most cases.

Hope this doesn't come across as asking for any spoonfeeding, just a point in the right direction would be incredibly helpful.

I went today to buy my first higher end eyeshadow palette, as I've just been using this Maybelline Nudes palette up until now... I was set on getting an UD Naked, but I asked for advice and was convinced into getting the Tarte Amazonian Clay Pro palette. SO much regret. The colours looked beautiful swatched on my arm but when I got home and tried them on they went on patchy and blended into a muddy colour... that's with my Smashbox primer on, that works wonderfully with the Maybelline. I'm so sad. I am going to exchange it tomorrow though. Oh, and I got a Tarte blush at the same time I have to return.. not because I think it's bad, but again the associate helped me pick it out (It was the Exposed shade) and again it looked nice on my arm, but... when I went home and put it on, the brown tones did NOT flatter. I looked 10 years older in the worst way possible. For the record, I'm a redhead with pretty blotchy skin. I've been considering Too Faced blushes instead, but some seem pretty too gaudy and bright... does anyone have any recommendations for a nice soft pinky blush that will illuminate?

question how decent quality are those unicorn make up brushes are they worth it?

anons with oily faces how do you deal with it? my face wasn't this oily before so idk what to do

>>9311854
Primer

>>9311672
So sorry you went through that! The UD Naked palettes are very sought after so I think you'll be much happier with one. As a fellow redhead, the Too Faced Papa Don't Peach blush has been working nice for me and before that I used a Love Flush blush and it was also nice. There is some shimmer in them but not enough to be mistaken for highlighter.

Depending on the store you may be able to try the blushes and eyeshadows on your face instead of just swatching your arm. I've never tried that so I'm not sure if that'll actually work or not but it sounds like it should.

I have a question about Ulta's return policy.

I bought a jumbo bottle of some conditioner last year and haven't used it, so I'd like to return it. I don't have the receipt anymore and I live in a different city now so it wouldn't even be returned to the same store. My question is, since I purchased it with an Ulta Rewards membership can they look it up through that? I don't care if I get store credit; I just don't want it sitting here and taking up space.

I can direct this to the hair general if needed but I figured this thread shops at Ulta more and therefore would have a better answer.

>>9311675
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S0JxP75cwcU

Ive never tried them but they are pretty much a marketing gimmick hiding sub-par quality from the looks of it

>>9311898
Thank you very much. I was considering the Papa Don't Peach... it looked beautiful on lots of people of varying skin tones, but finding a redhead specifically was difficult. As I'm sure you know, our skin is a bit different, so thank you for reassuring me it could look good. I think that's what I'll go with when I return the Tarte, then.

>>9312069
Sure thing! And if you don't like the blush, you can return that too. It took me a while to find a blush that suits my skin and wore a way too pink one for the longest time.

In case you were worried about the peach scent, it's very faint in the blush.

Please please don't tell me you buy blushes etc. without not being able to try them on your face, I mean looking at the colour on your arm isn't going to be particularly helpful when, well, it's supposed to go on your face.
You should be able to do this anywhere where there's testers available. I assume you're in the US, if the Sephora there is anything like the ones in Europe the shop girls will apply any makeup you like, it's a good way to tell. Of course then there's the issue that that's what they're trained to do so they will generally apply it better than you could yourself.

>>9312286
>Please please don't tell me you buy blushes etc. without not being able to try them on your face
Y-yes. I do a bit of research online of colors that suit my skin tone then watch YouTube videos for product swatches and see how it looks on a moving subject (not necessarily for the gurus' input because not many speak truthfully). I also make sure to buy from somewhere that offers hassle-free returns.

>>9312290
Genuine question.... that seems like a lot of hassle, why would you do it unless you can't try it in store? I mean that's the whole point of testers.

>>9312296
I'm a shut-in short on free time. When I'm physically not at school, I'm at home studying for school. During my study breaks I watch the videos and on the weekend I'll go do my shopping. I also usually only buy things when there's a sale and most of the time I get better deals online so I save even more money.

>>9312185
I bought it today, actually. I almost went with the Sweetheart Peach Beach instead because, like you did, I instinctively lean toward pink shades but the associate - different one from last time - told me that pink wouldn't suit the red tones in my face and convinced me that Papa Don't Peach would be better. I was worried it'd be too orange like it swatched on my arm, but I just tried it on and I love it. Thanks for telling me to check it out.

>>9312286
I know this is going to sound weird, but I get kind of grossed out thinking about all the fingers that go into that blush then trying to put it on my face. You're right, it'd be a surefire way to know, but... I couldn't bring myself to do it.

>>9312398
I'm glad it worked out for you! Luckily that associate was there to steer you away from the pink shade.

>I get kind of grossed out thinking about all the fingers that go into that blush then trying to put it on my face.
Agreed. You never know how sanitary the test products really are. I don't even know how I'd try a lipstick because there are definitely people out there who will use their fingers without any sanitation.

>>9307531
LOVE the lip lingerie line. I found them long wearing, not drying, and with pretty good colour payoff for the price. The limited shades are the only downside, but I personally don't wear to many crazy colours so they work well for me.

>>9311203
I have pretty oily acne prone skin a well, but if you know what products you need and how to apply them it all becomes a bit easier. First off if you're applying foundation use a beauty blender or a sponge as it helps it have more of a matte finish. You want to use a foundation that won't increase oil, so it has to be oil free. I recommend Estee Lauder's Double Wear, it's been amazing for me and doesn't cause break outs and looks natural. But it's also full coverage. I don't use BB or CC creams but you could try one of those. The right primer is key too, I recommend Poreless Primer by Benefit. Lastly, you want to set your makeup I use Urban Decay's De-Slick spray and it works like a charm. You can also use BareMinerals Powder Veil.

>>9312434
Honestly, I find testers disgusting. I would never put them in my face because there is rarely anything to clean your face and the product with and even then there is always going to be people who don't care about sanitary. I have never seen someone actually putting make up on with testers. You could even get a infection of some sorts.

How do you store your makeup brushes? I don't have enough counter space to store them (and am kind of grossed out by having them bare-headed in the same room as the toilet), but I also don't own a fancy brush roll with individual slots for each brush. I've been keeping them in their original sleeves/packaging, but it's a hassle to shimmy each brush out every time I want to use it. Would throwing them all into a cosmetic bag like pic related be sanitary? I wash the brushes nearly each application, but sometimes I go a use or two between washes.

>>9314164
I've seen brushes stored in old fashion straw dispensers and that seems pretty sanitary and convenient. I'm not sure where you'd find one though.

The only thing I'd be worried about storing brushes in a bag is there might be potential bacterial growth if they're still damp. Not sure if that's actually plausible but just my two cents.

>Daily
1. Skincare routine
2. Primer (I'm out right now and on the market for a new one)
3. UD Primer Potion for eyes
4. Makeup Forever HD Foundation
5. Sephora Brand pressed bronzer trio to contour and highlight
6. Maybelliene blush (I don't even know which one it is desu)
7. Benefit What's Up luminous highlighter stick for sparkling highlights
8. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil setting powder
9. Eye shadow - I like Too Faced's chocolate palette, have a few Estee Lauder and Nyx palettes too along with some buxom singles
10. Eye Liner - Kat Von D Tattoo Eyeliner pen, absolutely love it
11. Mascara - UD Perversion or Buxom's, I have a CoverGirl one I use when traveling so I don't lose a more expensive one
12. Lips - usually pretty boring here, anything ranging from Burt's Bees tinted balms to Buxom or Bite matte lipsticks

>Favorite mid-high end products?
Huuuge fan of YSL's cosmetics, I've sampled their foundation and it's absolutely gorgeous, their lipsticks are beautiful too. Aside from that I draw from a ton of brands.

>Favorite Asian products?
I use Asian skincare moreso than cosmetics. Darker olive tone skin means their creams are often pale on me and I don't bother with other stuff because there are plenty of great Western brands. I'd say Boscia and REN's skincare lines are fantastic. TONYMOLY has wonderful, budget stuff with adorable packaging!

>Makeup trends
I love a strong eyebrow, but I wish people would go for more natural looking ones. They're getting a bit ridiculous lmao. Also I don't get cut creases, just really lackluster to me aesthetically.

If you have a favorite setting spray or primer for a full face, PLEASE recommend/let me know. I need one!

>>9314171
If you're in the US, PB Teen sells a really cute one with bunny ears

>>9313947
Thank you so much, I'll definitely do some research and try what you suggested.

Anyone here prefers to wear mascara over fake lashes? I know fakes look so much better but I think mascara is just easier to use.

Tried this the other day. It is soooo good. I fucking love it. The sponge puff is really nice too. Just barely dab it in the cushion because there is a lot of product in there. Just dot what you picked up on your cheeks, forehead, and lightly on your nose and chin then go back over all that with the cushion and it blends so freaking nice. The coverage is medium which I am completely fine with. I like my freckles to show through, but to have my redness covered up. This does a really good job at that. Also got their new Studio Master Concealer and this is really good too. Just put a little on the back of your hand and let it warm up and apply with a concealer brush. DO NOT apply directly to your face. It is very lightweight for something so thick feeling and it doesn't crease at all.

Sooooo happy with my purchases. I would say these are good for dry skin as well which I have, but as always do moisturize and prime before putting on makeup as usual.

>>9314183
If you have the money Hourglass Veil primer is amazing. The 1 oz bottle is around $50 but I will never look back. It's so worth it.

>>9315702
Thanks for the review, anon! My foundation is almost running out so I'll keep this is mind when I get a new one.

>>9314183
I've found the L’Oreal Infallible fixing mist is really good, it far exceeded my expectations for a drugstore setting spray. Mist is fine with a wide spray, sets eyeshadow and face products for a good 8+ hours. Doesn't really mattify if that's what you're looking for though, I'd say it has no positive or negative effect on oil control.

I've never worn false lashes before and want to try them out for special occasions. I want cute, soft lashes like pic related. Is this considered "natural" or dolly like? Or could anyone recommend products looking like this? Or even mascara that uses a soft look? Right now I use Urban Decay Perversion mascara, but it doesn't look as soft as I'd like.
Thanks!

>>9315766
benefit's Roller Lash might give you what you're looking for if you don't want to deal with fake lashes

>>9314159
> I have never seen someone actually putting make up on with testers. You could even get a infection of some sorts.

i have these two women that come in every saturday morning and do complete full face makeup with my testers. then they just walk out without buying anything. its disgusting and i really wish my manager would let me do something about it.

Things I got from Daiso today, are these brands any good? I don't care if they're not, they were all $2.80ea
I couldn't not get the fox thing

>>9315870
That makeup sponge detergent is THE BEST. Super strong, dissolves away makeup but doesn't leave any soapy residue or smell. I use it on both my brushes and sponges and it hasn't changed their texture at all. 10/10.

I'm a beginner to makeup and I've been wondering about this but how should I sample the testers on my face? So far I've only been swatching colors on my arms but there have already been a couple times when I came home with my new purchase thinking it'd look good on my face and being wrong. I know they're probably super dirty and the thought of testing them on my actual face grosses me out but I also really want to know if they flatter my face or not. How do you gulls use testers? I feel like I'm missing something, pls help

>>9314171
>>9314196
Thanks for the ideas!

>>9310066
i got the palette after christmas with no struggle (just walked into sephora) after lusting for it since last year's hype. for some reason only the palette was available which i would imagine they maybe overstocked for as opposed to the other parts of the collection that you got. i really love the colors and the opacity on my lids (my daily palette for a long while has been urban decay's naked 3 and some of those colors seem much thinner to me, if that makes sense?) but i agree with >>9310102 the smell is so... weird lol. not at all peachy unless you're talking a candy peach i guess. really happy i got it though! kind of wish it came with a brush or some kind of applicator but that's not a big deal.

Gulls, how/where should I match my foundation? I've been advised to match to my neck and chest but those are about 4 shades lighter than my face. Should I go for somewhere in the middle or match it to my neck and try to get used to the colour difference?

>>9316836
Yay! I'm glad you finally got it. Good for you for having the patience to wait until now to get it. I didn't realize it was limited edition until it was already out of stock and sort of fell into the hype train once it was announced that an entire collection was going to be released. The morning of the release I had a very important final to study for and I spent at least 3 hours looking online for stuff to add to my order to get free shipping, looking at color swatches, refreshing the page to see if the items were available yet, etc.

A brush would have been a nice touch but yeah no big deal. I don't think any of their other palettes come with brushes so I wasn't expecting anything extra there.

>>9316851
i test mine on my jaw and blend up

>>9291533
>what makeup do you wear daily (if any)
KVD foundation in L42- I'm super pale but normally go a shade or so lighter. a peachy blush by mac (name rubbed off) sugarpill eyeshadows used for brows and highlight is my 'base'.
I always do my eyes different but lately I love using weird colour liquid lipsticks for liner, and putting the same colour on my lips. . Sometimes I add really thick pointy liner.
>(if you wear lolita or another jfash) what makeup do you wear when you get dressed up?
Pretty much the same, but I stick to more subtle colors and make the liner a bit thiner. I wear gothic and imo darker style makeup doesn't clash too badly
>Favorite drugstore/cheap products?
NYX matte lipcreams! They are the best thing ever. Elf brushes. Also in the UK makeup revolution have amazing cheap palettes, I have the one that is a dupe for limecrim's venus and I use it daily
>Favorite mid to high end products?
KVD foundation, eyeliner and liquid lipstick. All of benefit's mascaras that I've tried are great. My favorite lipstick is Ellis Faas 'Ellis red' the perfect blood red color.
Sugarpill are my favorite brand forever
>Makeup trends you like/dislike
I have to agree with everyone else in this thread, I HATE the whole insta-hoe/baddie trend. Especially the thick gradient brows and eye looks with excessive glitter. I honestly don't even like highlighter but I wear it anyway because the first time I tried it I got so many compliments lmao.
I hate super-white goth makeup, like the ben nye clown makeup shit. I wear lighter foundation myself, but stark white looks so costumey when paired with all black makeup and clothes.
I like no eyebrows looks because I have bad taste

>>9316109
I NEVER put testers on my face. I have no idea whose touched them before me and the thought of putting mystery germs onto my face makes me gag. I've found I've just had to test different things and find out what works and what doesn't.
If I want to test a colour of something (especially lipstick and eyeshadow) that's pretty different from what I usually wear, I buy something cheap from the drugstore to get an idea of what it looks like on me before I sink the money into a higher end product. That's just me though, maybe other people have better ideas.

What do y'all think of Kylie Cosmetics?
(Ignoring the hype and everything but what is the quality)

>>9309623
Rose rose beauty or something like that has a good selection last I checked

>>9311672
I hate UD Naked, my skin has dry patches and so it looks patchy no matter what primer I use. Overly pigmented, I never knew it was a thing until I tried naked

>>9317443
Sephora and Ulta both have single use testers for many products. The display testers are more for swatching on your hand or arm. You have to ask for the sample though.

>>9317467
I'd also like to know this. Her lip glosses are mentioned nonstop in my makeup group and they were raving about her recently released Royal Peach palette. The colors in all her collections seem nice but idk about quality.

>>9317843
I have many of her products, they're all amazing except for the darker lip colors, stay away if they are matte because they streak. But the dark glosses are fine.

>>9317467
The matte lips have basically the same formula as the colourpop ones; not worth the buy.
Eyeshadows are varied; the holiday release was absolute shit.

>>9315875
>>9315870
Name or link to buy it (brush detergent)? No daiso in my area

How frequently do you wash your brsuhes? I'm lazy lately and I know my skin is gnna pay

>>9317869
Have you tried any of her eye palettes or brushes? I think her glosses are lovely but I'm just getting into lip makeup and want to work with my UD Vice lip palette before transitioning into pastel or dark matte colors.

>>9317366
I like the no eyebrow look too
Mine are bleached and I trimmed the hairs really short so they're barely there, but look fine when I fill them in for a more normal look.
The only thing stopping me from straight up shaving them off (which I did once) is that I can't draw them back on when there's nothing there/even if I could it would be obvious that they were drawn on and look bad with no natural hair there

>>9318219
>no brow squad
Unpopular opinion but brows like Adora's are super attractive. Pic related.

So anons, what do you guys do with makeups that you along time hated/doesn't work on you/for you?

And if so what do you do with them, I hate to throw away [in my eyes] money in the trash (unless it expired to an unholy degree)

unrelated, but any dry skin anons have good recs for foundation/concealer/etc? i wanted a change from the makeup forever HD liquid foundation because i've been using it for years and it just lost its luster/i wanted more "flawless" coverage. a sephora employee rec'd the ultra HD stick foundation instead and i fucking hate it. it's just TOO cakey and doesn't blend as nicely as i thought it did in the store... so any recs on foundation/concealer/setting powder/even bb cream at this point would be so appreciated. interested in hearing about your routine and maybe pics if you're brave enough to post before and after!

It doesn't take more than one or two uses to decide if I don't like something so I'll try selling it if I can (I always upload the best pictures I can and thoroughly explain how used it is). If it's mascara or something I've used a bit I'll pass it on to family. I have a hard time outright tossing things because I'm such a penny pincher.

>>9319692
I actually reviewed it here >>9310308! Upon first application it was very lovely and moisturizing without any sticky feeling. I will say that I'm not that experienced with lip products so idk if the amount of time it lasted is typical of products like that. I'm not one to reapply makeup because once I'm home, I'm home; however, reapplying the lip oil doesn't seem like that much of a chore. All in all, I'd wait until you accumulate Ulta points or when Too Faced releases a coupon. The colors aren't that exclusive and I feel like Etude House had a collection with very similar colors and application.

I read the highlight/blush was a letdown which is a shame because all the pre-release videos had stellar feedback on it.

no nail general is up so does anyone know if you need to cure those holographic nail powders or can you just press it over semi tacky polish?

I tried looking I this thread but I didn't see any info, but can someone recommend me a good lip stain? I want something cute and subtle, without being heavy. I like that sort of ombré look they give.

>>9318219
I recently got rid of the 'tail' of my brows so i can redraw them however i like and ive been think about bleaching them! Their already really light but i fill them in black, can you tell theyve been bleached after you fill them dark? I have them filled in p much 24/7 but id think bleaching them could be fun for a change
>>9318313
I agree adoras brows are cute! i love the 'needle' style ones she does

I was watching Dramaland with my parents and in the product placement scene where she goes to the Tonymoly counter and gets made over by the rep, my Dad leaned over and said "that looks like the shit you use".

>>9321385
No it's pretty much impossible to tell that they're bleached when I fill them in a darker color because the color of whatever I'm using covers up the color of the actual hair. You could always use brow mascara if you're connected about it though
>>9320158
They way those work is you need to press them into gel after its cured but before you wipe off the sticky residue, simplynailogical on YouTube has done a few videos about this, including one where she did try it over conventional polish but used a special topcoat
https://youtu.be/MWYEP8SkcMc

I finally!! Got the ABH Modern Renaissance palette! I love love love the shadows, but there's so many choices and combinations it's a little overwhelming. Anyone have links or pics or guides to give me some inspiration?
>>9316109
If you go to Sephora, you can ask for samples of products to take home and try. I think the limit is 3 per visit?? Swatch some on your arm, pick your favorite 3, then find a sales associate and ask if you can get samples!

Speaking of swatching foundation, I found the too faced foundations REALLY really yellow on my skin, and I'm really yellow? Anyone else feel this way?

Hey seagulls.
Could anyone help me figure out how to use shopping services in Europe to order k beauty products/makeup? I'm not sure Amazon is the way to go if there's going to be an import tax slapped on ?

I just moved from the US and am so upset I can't order from Memebox so yeah looking for equivalents of that too if possible..

>>9319727
oh nuts I totally missed your review, my bad. i'll have to wait on it with points like you said because while not bad, certainly, they just seem very basic. then again I'm usually more into straight up lipstick rather than stains/oils

my friend said the highlight was very similar to one she already has. very pretty but definitely not worth the price. too bad!

Mmm, that's true. I didn't think of that since I rarely shop at Sephora in person since the nearest one is two hours away, so I always just order online

>>9315870
those grapefruit wipes are great for the price

>bought one at the Harajuku daiso bc I didn't bring makeup remover on vacation
>picked up another
>then a few for my friends
went to LA daiso couple months later
>bought like 10, stocking up
>use them every day
>doesn't irritate my acne prone skin

how do coreans do that thing with the brow where it looks softer than their natural brows but occupies the same amount of space

make up magic? trimming? sure this dude didn't bleach one eyebrow and leave the other intact

>>9318313
I love these but they kinda have to follow a really exaggerated makeup to work

It's like instagram brows look cool on drag queens make all the basic bitches look shit

brow mascara

>>9325040
thank

>>9307224
I get that sometimes too (and im not asian) and for me it usually comes from lack of sleep, crying, etc. Basically after my eyes go down from being swollen/puffy I get it. On a good day I can fix it with my finger, sometimes I have to wait it out or adjust skincare routine.

>>9325040
What's the lightest brow mascara available? I'd like to experiment with the bleached look without taking the plunge.

>>9325691
Probably one of the Kiss Me Heavy Rotation ones

>>9324227
Anon I'm not sure how to tell you this, but those are Japanese products, not Korean

>>9324227
Just order from wishtrend or testerkorea or something ffs

>>9299166
i mean, it doesnt look BAD per say, it's certainly pretty clean and put together. Conceptually, yeah, it's odd, but at least this girl seems like she knows how to do regular makeup

Lash newb, but how do you know what type of lashes will look good for different types of characters in cosplay (like cute, sexy, etc.)? Is there a type of lash that is flexible for characters so I can stock up on it?

>>9326866
I guess this question applies to both upper and lower lashes jfc why are there so many types

>>9326866
Really depends on the character specifically.. But generally thinner, spread-out lashes work for cute characters, and lashes cut at an angle (shorter on the inner corner, longer towards the outer corner) work for sexy characters.
You don't really need a special lash for each character (exceptions apply), a lot of lash companies put out sets that contain a wide variety that'll cover most characters you'd ever need.

>>9326884
The character in question is Hanamaru from Love Live Sunshine! What are your favorite lashes, anon?

Just ran out of BB cream today so can anyone hit me up with a quick BB cream/foundation recommendation for Irish pasty white paleness? I prefer Korean/Japanese just because their pale shades offer me a bit of color without making me look like I've self-tanned just my face but I'm up for domestic USA products too.

>>9326921
Oh I love Hanamaru!
For her you'd probably be better off doing the softer, more "natural" lashes.
Dollywink is good for lashes, though.

>>9314159
I've seen ppl walk into my local sephora and put on a whole new face before walking out. That being said, I find disposable wipes and spray mists to probably be pretty safe in terms of sanitary needs.

I was really lucky this one time I asked for help with choosing a foundation the sales associate actually opened a new moisturizer to prep my skin and the foundation she chose for me ended up being all used up too so she opened a new one for that one too lol.

>>9315870
I have the facial razors and they work fine, no accidents yet lol.

>>9326933
I'm super pink and pale and use Missha's perfect cover in no. 13! It's a tiny bit darker than I am, but honestly it's not noticeable at all.

>>9326933
What's your undertone? Mac shade? Closest foundation match?Anything at all to actually allow someone to help you besides "I'm pale"?

is really helpful to find foundations to match you.

Coconut oil/aquaphor/patroleum jelly - any one of these things that doesn't burn (do a very small patch test first

Treat it like a an open wound - protect the area from infection until it heals.

my tongue is naturally always touching the roof of my mouth...

am I weird?

A really water-y eyed anon here... uh, what kind of mascara do I need to buy to avoid having awful mishaps?

>>9320799
VDL has a lipbalm stick where you can achieve this kind of effect with just one swipe.

>>9327048
I haven't tried Missha's but that sounds really good!

>>9327100
Sorry I wrote that when I was pretty tired last night and didn't even think to add more details

>pink undertones (I'm in the sun a few minutes without sunscreen and turn splotchy pretty quick on my face and arms with red)

Mac Shade seems to be: NW10 or NW13.

Best glue I've used so far was diamond lash glue. Has a wand so u can manually apply it rather than squirt it around.
Eyeliner I like Kat Von D tattoo liner or dolly wink, they don't seem to budge after application at all.

I want to start using bb cream or cc cream to hide acne scars and because my pores are really large for some reason. The only one I used a long time ago was a maybelline one that barely hides anything, which brands would you recommend? I looked at sephora a bit the other day but since a lot of things are on sales some products were sold out and I couldn't test anything.

>>9327364
Coming from someone who buys BB creams to hide pores and other blemishes, here's what I've gotten before:

>Naturactor
Has an entire series and covers everything like nothing else I've tried but may not be budget friendly for daily use if you're using every product.

>Holika Holika
Cheaper and they have a specialty line called "Sweet Cotton Pore Cover" that comes in a BB cream and a powder. I've used the BB cream and it's so smooth going on and covers well.

>PeriPera
This got recommended to me here actually for how well it covers. However, I don't know if they still sell the line I purchased which was "I Love BB"

>>9327198
The waterproof kind. Literally every brand that makes mascara also makes a waterproof formula.

And also one that's not prone to flaking for extra bonus holy grail.

I have a birthmark on my eyelid and while it's not really visible normally, when I'm under the weather it swells and makes my eyelid sag somewhat. It sucks, but little asymmetries give faces personality, and I can use eyeliner to make it less obvious.

I guess this is where a face paint question would best fit. Which letter number combo do you think would work best?
