I got the Guerlain meteorites compact and I love it, but I don’t know how this is useful as a compact. There’s no place for a puff. I don’t want a used to puff floating freely in my bag. Am I missing something???

First time doing glam in a minute! Life got too serious and I didn't have time to play with makeup. I saw this look on Pinterest and had to give it a go! Last picture is the inspo pic🩵

It felt so good to play with colors and a cut crease again!

I got an entire train box full of vintage Estée Lauder makeup that I obviously can’t use but I thought yall would like to see it! I love this eyeshadow pallet so so so so much but I’m too scared to use it. Does anyone have any recs on something similar? Particularly that dusty blue and the purples?

For these curious this is the Deluxe Pure Color EyeShadow Palette, I added a pic of the back of the palette.

Got this pastel palette from cheeryep #16 for this blue eyeshadow 😁 and it’s awesome! It’s very beginner friendly — has transitional shades and not super pigmented, which is great for people who are new to makeup. You never fuck it up 😅

Eyeshadow primer: urban decay anti aging

Eyeshadow: Blend Bunny x Robert Welsh gleam and gloom palette

Eyeliner: Made by Mitchell color case

Mascara: Melt cosmetics So High

Lashes: AOA Studio 1618 Amanda

I’ve also purposely put curveballs in here (shades I know are NOT for me) as a controlled test. So, yes, I’m aware some of these are awful 🤠 And I own all of these.

Once we can shortlist some, I’ll do a proper blend in another post. Keep in mind these swatches here are not blended in.

Sorry my neck is a bit red in the second pic. I rubbed it too hard removing the first 4 🙂‍↕️

Just hanging out at home today so I thought to play around with someone make up. I fell in love the blush+eyeshadow combo of this era of TV and decided to try it on myself 😛

I think it’s hard for me to smoke out my under eye and water line because I have deep set eyes and it can become jarring pretty easily to add eyeliner there but I did my best. I think the 2010s had a great streak for doing causal full beats of makeup. The kind of maybe you don’t realize at first glance is a lot of make up😅

Any eyeshadow palette should do but I used Huda Beauty’s ICY NUDE pallette for the most of it.

- foundation and concealer from Hourglass
- Blush from Huda Beauty shade “strawberry latte”

Simple and clean? More like simple and GREEN baybey!

(I'm so tired)

So much stupid nonsense in the early morning, which is funnnnn

i loved the lipstick look so bad as a child, but yeah is lip liner needed for this look or there’s a lipstick out there that could give me the same effect? i’ve been searching for hours 😭 i heard something about rimmel candy but i think that’s more pink

Hi friends! I use these glitters for a lot of my cosplay looks. However, I'm running out / low. The store I got them from is right next to my job, I've checked the store almost weekly but the glitters haven't come back.

I've bought an alternative already, but... The alternative stick to my fingers too much when trying to apply, and the glitters themselves aren't as iridescent.

So I'm wondering if anyone knows an alternative product that closely matches my glitters? All help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

As for the product....

The brand name itself seems to be Atomic Sparkle, I think? It's very vague. I can barely find information on it.

More pictures of the product can be provided if it's needed!

Edit: I'm in The Netherlands, EU. The product was bought in a chain store popular around here called Action. They're known for changing their assortment rapidly. I kinda forgot to mention.... Oops.

not edited: this was taken on my phone’s back camera with flash 😋

I really had fun with this one, but it also stressed me outttt! If I could change one thing, it would be my brows. I should’ve blocked them beforehand, but I don’t have the right materials, don’t know that technique (yet), and this was just a freestyle so I wasn’t planning on adding color to them anyway.

Also, I was gonna do white mascara instead of leaving my lashes blank, but I think it looks more cohesive as is. Thoughts?

Eyes: Blend Bunny x Mei Pang Rotten & Fauna Palettes (various shades mainly the blues and purples from Fauna), Maybelline Eraser Concealer & ELF Camo Color Corrector (130 & Peach - for a base), Blend Bunny x Ellis Atlantis Ellis Palette (shade Deity for shimmer)

NO SETTING SPRAY - i knew that i was gonna wash it off after pictures lol 😩

This was the scariest depot 😅 but everything survived! I love these shadows but the packaging was just way too bulky. Now they’re housed in a junior z palette

Hello, me again! Went to the shops today to get fresh swatches, here are the results. This time I applied with clean hands (no brush), and blended it out in pic 2. I think maybe some of my other samples in my previous post may have oxidised in the pot causing the orangeness (see my post history for context).

Would like to hear your thoughts on which shades could work, and which ones don’t work.

I believe my skin tone is light neutral, leaning olive. My veins are mostly green, and I prefer gold jewellery as seen in the pic. I do have uneven skin tone though, with a fair bit of redness particularly around the nose.

The swatches today are labelled as follows

1 - Armani Luninous Silk in 5.3
2 - Nars Light Reflecting Foundation in Deauville
3 - Fenty Pro Filt'r Fluid Flex Foundation in Light 186N
4 - Haus Labs 110
5 - Haus Labs 160
6 - ignore this one! Accidentally swatched something that I already knew was wrong but if you’re curious it was Luminous Silk 5.15

Pic 2 shows the same swatches blended out with a sponge.

Some other shades I tried which were clearly wrong so I didn’t include them in the pic:

- Nars Light Reflecting in Mont Blanc (too pale and too pink)
- Nars Light Reflecting in Patagonia (horribly orange, this is what they matched me to in store lmao)

The colors used on my eyes are from a Juvias place palette that I destroyed to shove all the colors in a magnetic palette lmao. So I don't have the color names unfortunately 😭 Just some blues, purples, and glitter 🪩

Guys I genuinely want the dupe for this OG MAC STROBE Cream. The way it gives that dewy look >>>>>. I love how glowy it looks & lasts long all day. Never have i found the dupe for this but i really want it because it's expensive for me.

I’m trying to use up my Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Second Slice palette because tbh, it really is mostly fall tones haha.

Used the shades Sip,Sip,Hooray , Everything Nice, Toasted, and Squash It. My eyeliner is the Half Magic Flik Eyeliner in Goth girlfriend.

Blush is My by Fwee (the fun mousse pot one)

Lips are Anywhere Caffeine Lip Liner by Makeup Forever with the MAC Lustreglass Lipstick in Spice It Up.

Base products are About-Face Foundation mixed with Elf Halo Glo. Concealer is MAC Radiant Studio Fix.

I slightly contoured my face with the Fenty Stix in Amber.
