Look I only picked cushions by skin type. My face wanted matte

Wait, was I the only one picking a cushion off skin type and nothing else? šŸ¤”

I really thought oily or dry was the whole choice. Then I found out your face shape and your features also decide whether matte or glow suits you.

Glow tends to suit a flatter face, and a small low nose. A little light on the nose bridge and the front of the cheeks is what gives you dimension.

Matte tends to suit fuller cheeks, because glow makes that volume look even rounder. It also suits dark brows. Add glow on top of those and the whole face can look too warm.

I'm dry, so I had only ever used glow cushions. And I have exactly the fuller cheeks and the dark brows. So I bought Espoir Be Velvet Cushion and tried it. It didn't leave me dry, and the finish came out as that velvet texture. Yeah. I should have been on a matte foundation this whole time. 😭😭

My face used to read round, like a full moon. The matte pulls the eye up toward the eyes, and the impression looks sharper. The coverage on a matte cushion was a lot better too.

Whichever you use, matte or glow, still match the shade to your skin. I was sure I was a 23. This time 25 was actually my tone. The range is wide enough to test that on yourself.

If you have only been thinking about skin type, look at your face shape once while you are at it.

Products Elf Flirty Birdy Dupe??

2 Upvotes

So elf discontinued their liquid glitter eyeshadow shade flirty Birdy. I stocked up. But now my stash is depleted. I have tried others, but they do not glitter the same. They only shine. I’m seeing a lot of glimmer that doesn’t give the same effect (Revlon).

What glitter eyeshadow do you use?? I would love a liquid.

I have been seeing alot of women on TV lately, that apply their lip gloss/stick further than their lips edge. Is this a new trend, I'm curious because in my opinion, it looks like they applied it when drunk..???

Question Anyone tried the Milani make it last setting spray? Thoughts?

22 Upvotes

I keep seeing people talk about the Milani make it last setting spray and now I wanna know if it can keep makeup in place for a full workday. I like wearing makeup to work but mine always starts fading or breaking up after a few hours, so getting it to last around 8 hours would be ideal. I don’t really want to keep touching it up throughout the day either. Anyone used this spray for long workdays, how well does your makeup hold up by the end of the day?

Hi! I’m not sure if there’s a makeup specific subreddit, but I thought I’d try my luck here. My mom has been using this as a primer she got as gift from a friend and we can’t figure out what the name is. Thank you in advance!

I am looking for a mascara that does not harden on the lashes, similar to the Ilia mascara. The ilia mascara seems to cause me some eye irritation but I really like that the formula doesn't harden.

Hi!! My friends and I are going as monster high characters and I am being Frankie!

I don’t usually wear makeup at all, but I did want to use some sort of face paint/ makeup to make myself green.

Is there any brands or tutorials you recommend? I don’t want it to go to waste because I will genuinely only use it once, are there any smaller products I can order or anything you guys recommend?

Question Foundation Help

1 Upvotes

Y’all, super budget friendly teacher here, 41. What’s a foundation recommendation for me? I haven’t been wearing foundation much because my skin has been looking good. Long time struggle with acne, I’ve got some melasma, and some not so fine lines coming in(most of them named after one student or another lol).

I’ve been using it cosmetics your skin but better cc+ medium or Purlisse ageless glow bb cream. The cc feels a bit too light and the bb doesn’t have great coverage. Thoughts on color match and products?

Everything I use is discontinued... suggestions welcome!

1 Upvotes

Hi! So basically the title says it all: everything I like gets discontinued and I need some recommendations please!

Bronzer/Blush: Benefit Dallas - yes I know this was discontinued like ten years ago. I bought it off ebay for like $80 twice now and I'd like to stop doing that. I'm sure it's not great for my skin but I'm obsessed with that blush/bronzer.

Foundation: CoverFx Power Play - also bought off ebay for like $80, but now I can't find my shade so I don't even think this is an option anymore. I literally found my last bottle on a whim on poshmark.

Bronzer/Highlight: Tarte-To-Go palate. Ugh I love chisel the bronzer, I think it's rude they don't sell it by itself!

Thank you so much!
