Make up thread? I checked the catalog and didn't see one (unless I'm blind)

I wanted to discuss buying makeup online in particular. I feel like it is a bit harder since it's hard to compare shades without physically being there.

I've been browsing aliexpress and some knock off palettes of popular brand (Naked, Two Faced) etc. and I was wondering if anyone had any good experiences/suggestions?

exactly this. the pallets are not that expensive in all honesty. I have all the naked pallets and they are perfect and totally worth shelling out money on it.

Never ever buy makeup from china. There are plenty of asian brands if you are into that but don't buy a knock off just for the sake of saving some money.

Seconding this. I bought a Naked palette like 2 years ago and there is still plenty left, I use it nearly every day. A good eyeshadow palette will last you a long time and it will be worth the money spent. Don't cheap out or you will regret it.

My GO TO makeup shit

For eyeshadow make sure you invest in a good primer too. I have the Urban Decay Primer Potion and it's just the god damn best thing to stop my shadow from creasing.

The NYX milk pencil is also really good to have colors show up boldly if you need them to. In general for drugstore products I really like NYX. the butter lipstick and glosses are really great. The glosses are never that goopy sticky shit. Love the face setting spray as well.

I have yet to find a liquid liner I liked. Closest has been MACs fluidline. But you need to have a pretty steady hand to get really good results. But it's not chalky and it is not shiny.

I have the costal scents 252 pallet which isnt bad. the intense pink/red/purples have stained my eyelids pink after use. Usually goes away within a day but it is kind of annoying.

And for makeup removers I always use the neutrogena oil free makeup remover. That shit is incredible.

I barely knew anything about makeup a few years ago, but now I can get myself fully done up within 20 minutes (my job requires full makeup, fashion is pain). It definitely helps to get a professional to take a good look at you though. Plus a lot of places like Sephora will give you free samples.

All you people are stupid and don't read the labels and packaging before buying ANYTHING.

Makeup is mostly made in China nowadays. Even Japanese brands like kate/shiseido outsource production to China. You just read the fucking label and it says MADE IN CHINA. Buying from a Japanese webshop does not guarantee it's not made in China.

For the record I bought two mentholatum lip balms; one was made in China because I was stupid and I assumed that all Japanese brands were safe. It made my lips itch and dry, I thought I bought an expired product so I checked the label and it was MIC lel. Doubled back to watsons and bought another mentholatum lip balm that said made in Japan, it kept my lips hydrated and I loved it

So keep your eyes peeled.

>>7753331
And by "basic colors" do you mean neutrals or do you want all the colors of the rainbow? Getting a good quality completely matte eyeshadow palette for a little money is going to be hard, most eyeshadows have at least a *little* shimmer, because matte eyeshadows easily get very chalky and shitty. I'm going to assume you don't want "glitterbomb" and proceed with my recommendations.

I stand by Naked as being the best value for your money if you want neutrals. It's about $48 USD but the quality is great and it lasts a long time. It's very versatile and I love mine. If you want cool tones, Naked 2 is for you. I have Naked 3 also and that's full of rosy tones and I love it.

The Lorac Pro palette (the first one) is fucking excellent, it has half matte half shimmer shades and is therefore even more versatile than Naked. I think this one is about $50? It has a good mix of warm/cool tones whereas Naked (the first one) is mostly warm.

NYX "Nude on Nude" is a palette that is supposed to resemble Naked, I don't own it personally but I heard people are satisfied with it, it has an array of nude colors and then some lip colors, it's $25 I think.

If you really don't have any eyeshadows and you don't like my suggestions, I recommend going on the sephora site and browsing to see if you find a palette whose color selection you like. At that point start googling the reviews of those palettes to see swatches and to make sure the quality isn't shit.

Also generally stay away from eyeshadow palettes from Revlon/l'oreal/maybelline, they are hit/miss with the quality but mostly "miss", and you would be better off putting your money into something good.

>>7753374
Yes, all these palettes are neutrals. If you want rainbow colors I would suggest first figuring out which colors look best on you. At the start of my makeup obsession I bought a lot of green shadows (because my eyes were hazel) and unfortunately discovered green looks like shit on me. So first determine which colors look best on you. You can do this by finding your skin tone:
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-Skin-Tone

Then try to determine which colors would go with your eyes (image related). Looking at those pre-made Sephora palettes ("specifically for hazel/blue/whatever eyes") should also give you an idea.

As for colored shadow palettes, I don't wear bright colors but Sugarpill is beloved by many, they have like 3 eyeshadow quad palettes. The Urban Decay Electric Palette is getting good reviews and seems pigmented as hell. Also Kat Von D sells shadow palettes that are nice at Sephora (also manufactured by the Sephora brand). Do not buy from Limecrime as it is scammy and shitty.

Oh and one last note, the rules of makeup in regards to tones/complementary colors aren't hard and fast, but they're good guidelines if you're just starting out. For example, cool purple shadow might make my eyes pop (because I am cool toned), but I actually prefer warm rosy-pink-purple tones because the warmth of the shadow balances out the cool of my complexion. I'm sorry if I'm making this more complicated, I'm here if you have any more questions.

Jungsaemmool is my go-to makeup artist on Youtube for tutorials. A lot of people also like Wayne Goss and Lisa Eldridge.

As far as contouring, with pale skin, it's very important not to overdo it and to also know your skin's undertone. You want to pick a product that has similar undertones and not just a bronzer or something. I use a mineral foundation that's a couple shades darker than my skin for contouring and blend it well.

I'm on the Naked palette bandwagon, I have Naked3 and it's the best eyeshadow I've ever used. It blends incredibly well.

I work in high-end fashion retail and one of my coworkers swears by Smashbox's mascara. I don't remember the name, but it comes with a brush to help ease out clumps. Her eyelashes always look amazing, almost like falsies.

Also, if you want to find new stuff, a subscription to Birchbox is only $10 and they send you like 4-5 samples each month. I've gotten some really cool stuff from them.

If you want nice makeup but are cheap, Target stores sometimes have Boots Beauty specialists that work there. They're good at helping pick out stuff; their products aren't as good as they make them out to be, but they're decent for the price.

I subscribed to both Birchbox and Ipsy for a few months and while they were super fun to anticipate, open, check the new products etc... I would get maybe one thing that I would ever use each month. I don't really consider myself picky or reluctant to experiment with new products, but it was so rare to receive something I liked. I think maybe I just got really unlucky because I have plenty of friends who keep getting great bags.

I don't think Naked has all that many matte colors. theBalm has an all matte palette called Meet Matt(e) (and a nude version of it) that you can check out. However if you want a combination of finishes then go with NYX or Lorac.

I'm looking at getting a higher coverage foundation since I've only been using BB cream (Missha Perfect Cover in No13 - the lightest shade).
So far I've tried the Revlon Colorstay and a few other liquid ones but they tend to oxidize on me and look cakey. I was curious about the Dermablend as well but even their lightest shade is too dark.

I've heard good things about the Maybelline Fit Me (especially since their pale shades are quite light) but I was reading that a mousse might be better for those who tend to look flaky or cakey.

tl;dr: makeup noob needing full coverage foundation recs for pale, dry skin.

As a total beginner (ie. someone who only wears mascara and basic foundation/powder) I've picked up a lot of tips in this thread. I hate sitting through videos but I guess that's what I'll have to do to learn better.

I was wondering, is it normal that when you first start trying to wear more makeup you think you look awful? I've got relatively pale and clear skin and a very round face, and whenever I try to wear more than just brown mascara, I feel like make up ages me and I look... whorish. Obviously part of that is finding makeup that suits you, but I feel that makeup looks odd on me (even when done by skilled MUAs) and I'll never get that pretty and polished look most girls have. I also have natural red hair and I find it really hard to pick colours that suit me.

I think you need to be careful about the colours and styles of makeup you choose. There are not a lot of tutorials out there that are done on people with your skin tone so often the colours used are too strong or harsh or just don't suit you, hence the adding years to your face. For colours that work for you I suggest looking at Lily Cole, she has a fairly diverse portfolio and in some images her makeup clearly makes her look older/sexy/downright weird and in others she looks fresh and lovely. For makeup styles obviously you need to base it off the shape of your features

Your facial features may differ from mine obviously, but what makes the most difference to me is eyebrows and face shape. I don't contour but with flattering glasses your face can look sooooo much better. I also tightline my lashes and draw in my eyebrows. That helps define your face somehow, I don't know much else as it's the only makeup I wear. Maybe nose contour can help?

At any point it's also a good idea to get a flattering haircut. My skin is warm-tinted which is apparently weird for gingers and I have dark red hair, so I don't know how much that can apply to you but I had the same problem with makeup until deciding to just fuck it and experiment until I find something I can get away with. My eyes also kinda bulge out and wearing anything on them just looks reeeeeally awkward.

Thanks for your input! Weirdly enough I've mastered the haircut thing, and even got my hair cut slightly differently yesterday and it's the most flattering cut I've had yet... Which has prompted the "take makeup more seriously and you'll be gorgeous" attitude.

I've been trying out different eyebrow shapes and been told when I had them done that my natural shape is really good for my face (thank god,I can only deal with minimal plucking), so I'm just learning to pencil them in now (as I've been advised by my hairdresser and friends) because they're a pale dirty blonde while my hair is really ginger. What colour do you use for yours? I asked in a Sephora and the lady recommended a hazelnutty colour so I've just been using that.

I can't into eyeshadow and eyeliner at all though, just had to look up tightline! It seems hard to do. I'm going shopping tomorrow and tempted to go to a Sephora or somewhere and ask for advice, but I always feel like they just recommend things to get you to buy stuff.

Yes it makes a big difference. Without it, no matter how long your eyelashes are they are sticking out horizontally right at people, which gives them the illusion of being smaller than they are. Curling them moves them vertically so they frame your eyes. Sort of like how a long pole only has a small visible circumference when pointed at you, you can only see its full length when it's stood up vertically, if that makes sense.

First figure out what compliments your face and coloring, then work out how to make it suitable to what you're wearing.
In general:
>sweet = lighter shimmery pearl tones and pastels, some bright accents, pastel or candy pinks for lips
>gothic = darker neutrals, jewel tones, not generally as harsh as traditional goth/alt fashion makeup, darker reds or burgundy into purples for lips
>classic = lighter softer neutrals, some shimmery neutral tones like rose golds as accents, and deep rose tones for lips and blush

Again you'll want to already know how to emphasize your features and not to wear anything that goes against your coloring (some people just don't work well in pastels, some don't work in jewel tones). Neutrals are always a safe bet and easy to customize to the style.

1) trim them to a length that will fit your eyelid better
2) bend them back and forth a few times before applying them, so they're "softer" and less stiff
3) place a "drop" of glue at the end of the spine on each end, but keep glue in the middle as thin as possible
4) use tweezers to place the lashes, and hold the ends down for 2-3 seconds each with the back side (not the points) to let the glue set (glue instructions say to use your fingertip, but I find the glue sticks to that more easily and pulls the lashes back up)

Need advice on two things.

Firstly, where would you say is best to get makeup help/tips? Sephora? Ulta? Macys? I'm in a big city so I have a lot of options and I'm not sure where to go.

And secondly, what is better, BB or CC creams? I have a tan, Latin complexion and only really breakout on my hairline and on my forehead (the forehead only happens when I wear makeup so I want to switch to creams to see if that will help). I guess sun protection would be a plus too.

Apply to the middle first, then the inner corner, then the outer corner. It takes a lot of practice, so buy some cheap lashes first. It took me about 2 weeks of putting them on then taking them off repeatedly every day until I could apply them with confidence. It does get easier :)

Does anyone else have this problem when using liquid foundation and setting it with a loose powder foundation?

My liquid foundation matches my skin PERFECTLY (Revlon ColorStay 150), however when I go to set the foundation with a colored pressed powder (in my case I use Kat Von D's Lock It Powder in Light) it suddenly gets noticeably darker and it makes me look like a cakeface.

Should I try applying the powder with a brush instead of the little foam pad they give me? I need advice...

It also has to do with your glue. Sometimes the glue you're using can make or break how well it's going to stick. I have the best luck with Duo and Ardell brands.

I learned a little trick though. Put some on the top of your hand and let it start to dry. You can tell because the outer corners begin to change color, once it's changed and tacky, drag the lash through it carefully (make sure there is a little extra on the tips) and then apply it.

Cheap glue won't work and glue that isn't tacky enough is just going to slide off. So don't be too impatient. Tweezers often help me too.

If you like the neutrals in the Naked but want something with definite sparkle, Too Faced has some smaller compacts with similar color schemes. I think mine is the Boudoir set (has colors with names like Satin Sheets, Garter Belt, Birthday Suit, French Tickler, etc) and a solid 2/3 of them are definitely on the pearly sparkle side including the black. It is a smaller compact though. I do have to say that I bought mine back in December and use it 5 days a week minimum and none of the colors are close to running out yet.

If you want the foundation to last longer you could switch to more thicker make up because too runny ones won't last and cover that well. Also the 30 mins you're talking about is commonly known as ''cooking'' among drag queens when the make up warms up and it's easier to blend which means you should either be in a rather chilly environment or get something stronger than normal foundation if you want to get a longer lasting cover. Plus it also depends if you're not using primer of some sort to keep the make up in place.

I have the same exact problem but I only exfoliate once a week. I do squeeze my nose to try to clean the pores out, but there's not much of a difference.
Maybelline's Baby Skin Pore Eraser works but you need to put foundation or something over it. It's basically a clear cream that fills in your pores so you don't look like a painted sponge when you put foundation on. Without foundation, there's no noticeable difference.

Seconding for more advice though.

I use cleansing oil + daily cleanser + exfoliating cream.
Basically you first massage your face (dry) with the cleansing oil, then after a while apply water to only your hands and massage your face some more (it should start to foam a little). Then wash off the oil and get rid of some of the visible sebum my pressing on it gently with qtips. Then I finish washing off with a cleanser.
I do this a couple times a week, and I also exfoliate 1 or 2 times a week.

As for facial cleansers, I prefer ones that foam up. I've used ones by Iope, Laneige, The Face Shop, and Nature Republic but they were all pretty much the same. I've used a giant bottle of the CeraVe cleanser before too, and that one was okay also.

I was wondering if you guys had any makeup advice for someone who has a really weird profile. From the side my face is very long and flat. I've seen some people call it "midface deficiency". It looks similar to pic related without the underbite/sticking out chin. I plan on getting plastic surgery for it but beyond that is there anything I can do makeup wise to make me look less...weird?

I'd use some cute falsies to give emphasis to the eyes and when people look at your profile they'd be more interested in the qt long lashes than your profile also cheek bone contouring with the same purpose of distracting people from your profile. Also earrings and a nice haircut may work.

I was looking into getting BB Creams. Thinking of getting Etude House ones, but I'm not sure which tone to get since I can only find online sellers for it. Does anyone know of shops in NYC that sell them so I can maybe get a real life example of how the colors look? I'm Caucasian with fair skin. Should I just test out drug store BB creams from American brands to find my tone there first and make it easier to order online?

From what I've seen, most US BBs are all really fucking orange so I wouldn't bother. Plus every Korean BB maker has different shades or ranges of shades. Look up reviews and swatches, Etude House is popular so most of their BBs have been reviewed to death. If you know your MAC foundation number it'll help tons, but it's not necessary. Also samples, it's so easy to get BB cream samples, I've got a sample bag of BBs from Skin79, Tonymoly, Skinfood, and Missha coming.

Etude House's quality has gone down in the past year or two, in my experience. Skip all western BB creams; they're bad and not worth your money.

Didn't Lush make something similar to Velvetines in a bunch of different shades around the same time or a little before? I had two of them in the reds they did. They look like little potion bottles kind of, or eye droppers.

Oh, and Hourglass makes some too.

Be careful to exfoliate and moisturize before any of these, though. Mattes are incredibly drying. You will have to reapply a lot throughout the day.

They are good in my opinion, but you know what? There are so many liquid to dry lipsticks, most of them good, that it doesn't even matter. You have plenty of choices from Maybelline to Kat Von D. You can even sample some of them at Sephora, which you wouldn't be able to do with the Velvetines.

There are also some really cheap lip stick top coats. I bought one from Amazon recently and while it burns when first applying, it really does make lipstick last longer.

Do you want it to look natural in person or natural in photos? Because you can be wearing a lot of makeup and it will just barely show up in photos.

I'll give you my "no makeup" makeup routine, though, and a few notes on certain things that can be adjusted. You might want something more obvious than this for photos, though.

You should probably use a foundation without SPF in it so it doesn't reflect back in flash photos, but I mix a mineral makeup with a moisturizing serum (that has oils in it) because I have dry skin. I also don't use powder over top of it because even with the serum, mineral makeup is pretty powdery. If you have oily skin or use a liquid foundation for cosplay, you're probably going to want to set it with powder to make it stay on all day. The important thing for a "natural" look is to not use too much foundation and use concealer to cover blemishes. Your foundation should just even out your skin tone, not completely cover every red mark you've got.

I might get some flak for this, but this is how it works for me: I do my eye makeup before I conceal my undereye circles. I don't really wear eyeshadow or even really put anything on my upper eyelids except for maybe some highlighter on my browbone. A lot of people like to wear eyeshadow or foundation/concealer on the upper eyelid, so if you like the way you look with it, just keep it light and use nude shades and make sure you blend it in well.

I tightline my eyes with a pencil liner (I use brown, but I have very fair skin and light brown hair, so if you're darker coloured, black can be fine.). If you don't know what tightlining is, it's basically filling in the line JUST above your upper waterline, like where your eyelashes are. There are plenty of tutorials out there for it, and it really makes your eyeliner blend in more and gives you a more defined eye without looking like you're wearing tons of eyeliner. Lately I've been using a liquid eyeliner juuuust above my lash line, but only because it's a soft brown and because the brush is REALLY small. It's the Sailor Moon Liquid Liner that came out fairly recently, and it draws a VERY VERY thin line. I think the Dolly Wink liquid liner is pretty similar too? Unless I can get such a thin line, I don't wear liquid liner. I only follow the shape of my eye and don't do a cateye tail. Using a small, thin brush and some brown eyeshadow, I line my bottom lids, JUST under where the lashes grow, from the outer corners to just a little over halfway in and blend it. Then I gently fill in my eyebrows with a shade a little lighter than my actual eyebrow hair and blend in. If you have really thick defined brows you may not need to do this.

You can curl your lashes here if you want to (I don't just out of personal preference.). Take the mascara of your choice and a tissue, and clean off the excess goop on the mascara wands. I like a thinner, more liquid mascara because I don't think it clumps or looks as unnatural. Thoroughly and carefully coat the lashes. Then I take a clean mascara wand (no product at all) and brush it through my lashes while they're still wet to break up any clumps and define them.

(Cont. - Yeah I know it's really long, sorry.)

Clean up any fall out you have, and conceal your undereye circles if you have them. I have really dark ones, so I use a thin yellow-toned neutralizer, then an actual undereye concealer (I use the maybelline instant eye rewind stick thing), blend well, and powder them to set. You may not need all of that if yours aren't so dark, maybe just the concealer and a little powder. I use a powder specifically for undereyes, by the way. Then draw a little line from the inner corner to where the lashes start on the bottom lid with a shimmery ivory eyeliner pencil.

Blush is a pretty personal preference, depending on skin tone and the kind of character you're using, but if you want to use it, choose a colour that complements your skintone (I use peachy or a warm peachy pink because I have yellow tones, for example.). I put it on the apples of my cheeks and blend out well instead of doing it underneath my cheek bones or up towards my temple. I think it softens your face that way.

I also use a liquid highlighter with a very subtle shimmer, I don't know if that's something you want to do. I lightly apply it to the apples of and on top of my cheeks, up the bridge of my nose in a straightline, on my cupid's bow, and the middle of my forehead. You can find liquid highlighters in just about any colour.

Then for lips, I do the gradient thing anon mentioned in the other thread. I use skinfood tomato jelly lip tint all over my lips because it's not terribly pigmented, then tonymoly cat chu wink tint (which is very pigmented) just on the inside of my lips, like where my lips touch, and blend it out a little. I finish with a little bit of gloss or lip balm to the cupid's bow and center of my lower lip.

I check my makeup in different lightings after I'm done to make sure it looks okay in all of them. The key is just to not use too much of anything and make sure you don't have any hard lines. It's a lot of makeup, but if you're careful, most people can't tell.

Haha, aww, thank you. I'm glad you liked it- I was worried because it's a lot of words. I could talk about this for pages, I love makeup and I love discussing techniques and comparing and contrasting methods to pick up on new tricks.

Oh! Another thing is to really play around with it and find what you like and what works for you. Like different foundations work best with different methods of application. My old liquid foundation looked so cakey if I applied it with my fingers, but my new method (mixing serum + mineral makeup) works amazingly with finger application. Another technique I've gotten to like is applying my concealer in dots with a q-tip and letting it "cook" while I do my eyemakeup. I don't know if it'll work for your concealer, I use the NARS stick.

But mostly the tightlining and combing through your mascara while it's still wet, I think those are two of the most important things you can do.

I basically create a natural looking "mask" for myself in cosplay, with the point being to look good in photos but not like I'm wearing makeup. I have typical combination skin with an oily, acne prone t zone and dry cheeks. I start with oil controlling/matteifying and smoothing primer on my t zone, and just the smoothing one on my cheeks. If I have red spots or particularly bad dark circles I might use concealer, otherwise I go straight to foundation. I use two shades of Revlon colorstay for oily/combo skin (not necessary, but I have a summer and winter foundation anyway) and use the different shades to contour slightly as I apply my foundation. I then do my actual contouring around my jaw and nose, I tend not to emphasise my cheeks with contour when I'm going more natural, just use blush in a fairly toned down colour, which will still give my cheeks some emphasis. Then I brown/neutral tones around my eyes, usually with a hint of browbone highlight anda vertical gradient on my top lid which blends down to dark brown eyeliner,I don't use shadow under my eyes but just tightline. I sometimes use "natural" false lashes because my own are super sparse, or a thickening mascara (the kind with fibres). If you have naturally full lashes this tends to look more fake but I basically don't have any - however, I have eyebrows in excess so I let them be as long as I've groomed them in the last week. I then go for a lip tint or tinted balm

Seconding the request for advice, but girl I hope you're getting actual help for this. My face is also pretty sunken but for me it's not a weight issue. What I do is apply highlighter on my upper cheeks and blusher below that, both staying below my pupils and not blending out too much to the side. My 'contouring' consists of applying a bit of shadow under my chin and nothing more.

You can only really go so far with makeup, although contouring can be pretty powerful.

In your case I don't know if I would contour at all. I wouldn't use any dark shades (like bronzer or eyeshadow). Evenly apply foundation everywhere, blush on the apples of your cheeks, highlighter...

I've never actually done this, so maybe try it and see if it works, but maybe putting a little bit of highlighter where people normally contour? Like underneath your cheek bones, on the edge of your face, etc. Try to lighten up all the areas that recede so they look a little brighter and fuller maybe.

Could I please have some bb cream help? I'm Asian with oily, acne prone skin and really pale. I've tried bb creams from Western brands (Estee Lauder, The Body Shop) and they're all way too dark on me. It also seems like they do this thing where the color itself separates from the cream and it makes my face look strange.

I was looking at Skin Food's bb creams and Skin79's hot pink bottle. Does anyone know if this are good for my skin tone/type? Swatches online haven't been too helpful. Will they clog my pores? I don't even use foundation because no shades from any brand seem to be light enough for me, so trips to Sephora and department stores are becoming upsetting.

What are your undertones? Skin79's orange runs pretty light and is yellow-beige, and it's also supposed to be for oily skin. Their green label bb cream runs even lighter, but I'm not exactly sure of the undertone. It is also for oily skin. The hot pink bottle is darker than either of these.

Missha's bb creams in #13 are pretty light but also kind of pink toned, and they have this shade in several different formulas.

No problem! As a fellow pale-skin who's had so much trouble finding a solution, I'm also going to (just in case, you probably know this but) throw out that you should SAMPLE. I know you can get samples of the skin79 green on ebay, and of course Sephora lets you test things.

And if Sibera doesn't work, and Skin79 doesn't work, and Missha #13 doesn't work, you can always buy mineral makeup and mix it with a moisturizer or serum of your choice. That's what I've ended up doing.

You mean there are lots of creases in your lips? That's just how they naturally are, mine are similar. Stay away from totally matte or pearly lip colours, they tend to accentuate the fine lines. Stick to glossier colours or semi-matte instead.

I know that feel (if I can't get surgery within the next few years I will probably off myself lel). I guess you could try highlighting and contouring so it appears you have high and defined cheekbones (it would just be lacking in prominence). I would also suggest that you avoid hair styles that cover the sides of your fave because you risk "flattening" your mid face even further.

ok i have a few questions: what can i do to recreate this pure pale look? i'm pretty clueless with makeup but i love this light style. what can i do about raised scars that isnt snake oil or extremely expensive? aside from picking off the hard layer nothing seems to lighten them. and finally is there a skin product than can lighten up all my skin/scars/freckles all at once (over time of course)?

I'm going to be using a self-tanner to get probably only one shade darker. Do I need to get foundation that's darker? Should I look for a foundation that has a warmer tone?

Also, I use mehron barrier spray from time to time. It stinks really bad. Anyone have a better method to keep the makeup from sweating off?

Last, how do I put foundation on dry skin without it looking flaky and awful?

I have dry and oily skin too, it's always baffled me how my skin can be flaking and greasy at the same time, and I've spent years trying out different products to combat it.
I recently tried Lush's Fresh Farmacy cleanser which is soooo amazing I cannot recommend it enough, it cleared up my acne, shrinks my pores and manages to sort out the dryness of my skin while getting rid of the oiliness as well.

Any suggestions for a BB that doesn't oxidize into a grayish pink? I'm looking for something that's medium to high coverage and more neutral or yellow toned even after oxidation. So far I've only had partial success with the Skin79's Orange (pic related) - it matches my skin when applied but still oxidizes too gray-pink. And it isn't very buildable.

Missha oxidized pretty pink on me, and I have yellow tones.

I don't know what to tell you, anon. The orange one was the yellowest BB cream I think I've tried. I could be wrong though, but I don't think BB creams are supposed to be very high coverage?

AC Care's Bee Shield has worked well for me. I've tried about 15 different brands and I've been quite happy with this one.

The lightest shade of Missha is alright for me, but I prefer AC Care since it's a bit thicker so I actually end up using less product and it covers my pores well.

Everyone always gives tips on how to make your lips looks bigger, but how do you make them look smaller? I have quite full lips, and I feel like any bright or light colours make me look clownish. I don't get that with darker or more muted colours though, just the bright or light ones

About CC and BB creams. I just tried them in tonymoly and the lady explained when I asked the same thing. CC stands for color change, so putting it on made my skin brighter and hid any redness, but kept my original skin tone. BB cream masked all color to the tone that the cream was. She recommended CC cream if you already have nice even skin.

I have trouble finding a matching bb cream. Im using Missha no.13 right now, the lightnes is just right but it is way too pink for my skin tone..
I also tried no.23, its a little bit too dark and also pink. Is there a number that is really light for yellowish skintones?

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 26 17:37:26 2014 No.7781812 >>7781425 I use 23 and I don't find it to be pink at all. Could it be your skin tone shining through, since BB cream is pretty light coverage? You could try a green tinted primer underneath to see if that helps.

Draw a thicker eyeline than usual, to cover the falsies. Because of the natural droop of eyelashes, it will be impossible to hide in real life, but in most digital cameras the camera focuses on the false lashes and automatically blurs the real ones.

Ahh the article at the start of the thread, I've been using these bare minerals foundations for a few years but my mom bought them for me and she's notorious for buying things off of ebay. Can anyone that has confirmed real ones let me know if any of the bottom lines/numbers would be batch numbers?

I'm going to be cosplaying a female Fourth Doctor soon and I want to cover up my thick, dark eyebrows since his are invisible. I've tried the gluestick method multiple times, but it's no good - it just looks like dark eyebrows with makeup caked on. Then the glue just gets wet and smears off.

Does anyone know a better way?

I have the same problem with foundation caking on my skin, anon. A few minutes in and I already start looking like a lizard.
I managed to beat my curse by using very buttery primer and then BB cream on top. For primer I use Revlon's Photoready Skin Perfecting Primer, and for BB cream I use the same one as you, so I can't recommend anything there.
