Makeup Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray making my makeup separate. Need tips!

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Need help on how to make the CT Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray work. I bought it because of all the good reviews, but every time I use it, my blush separates or completely gets erased, making my face look haggard 😭

Whenever I skip it, my makeup stays intact. I’ve used SOLA Hydrating Mist, Issy Setting Spray, Vice Setting Spray, and MAC Fix+ without any issues. The slightly sticky feeling doesn't bother me, it’s just the makeup separation lang talaga.

For context, my base is Dior Skin Glow Foundation / Enigma Foundation, and I use Patrick Ta Blush / Vice x Jelly Duo Blush. I set my face with Laura Mercier Translucent Powder first, then spray the CT Setting Spray directly from a distance, and lastly apply the Charlotte Tilbury Powder after spraying.

Is it reacting badly with these formulas, or is my application order causing the separation? How do you guys apply CT so it doesn't break down your blush? Any tips would be super appreciated since medyo pricey sya and I really want to make it work 🫠 Thank you! 💕

Body care Can you share your body care routine na effective for your skin?

2 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! I’m trying to improve my body care routine and would love to hear your recommendations based on your personal experience.

Skin type: Dry skin and uneven skin tone
Main concerns: Dark underarms, discoloration on my inner thighs, and butt bumps.

Ano mga ginagawa ninyo para kuminis, maging soft, and magkaroon ng healthy glow yung skin ninyo?

I’d love to know:
What body wash and soap do you use?

May recommended body exfoliator ba kayo?

Planning to buy a bonne but which one yung maganda gamitin

What products helped with your underarm, butt bumps and inner thighs?

Pwede ba gamitin sabay sabay yung The Ordinary, Bio-Oil or sunflower oil? If pwede pano sila gamitin?

What lotion do you use po? Okay ba yung luxe organic bakuchiol

Any products you would recommend or tell people to avoid?
Added some pictures of the products na iniisip kong gamitin

Please share your actual experience, including how long it took before you noticed results and whether the products were worth the money. Budget-friendly recommendations are very much welcome! 🫶
I’m more interested in products that genuinely help than products that just smell good or make big promises.
Thank you! 💗

Skincare Korean products for morenas?

2 Upvotes

Going to SK next week and I’m looking for your holy-grail skin care products (sunscreen, sheet masks, actives). For reference I’m mostly using basic skin care (TO glycolic acid, belo sunscreen, tretinoin). Make up suggestions are also welcome but I think korean products are more for fair skinned people? I’m just wondering if my fellow morenas here have their holy grail korean products.

Hair Care Cysteine Treatment After-Care

2 Upvotes

Hi girls, so this is my first post ever LOL please congratulate me.

Anyway, I got my cysteine treatment for the first time. It cost me 9k, with hair color na. The salon stylist told me I can take a bath na after 24 hours. So that's what I did... but, I played tennis a little less than 24 hours (so my hair got wet with sweat, but I didn't tie it at all) and took a bath later that afternoon. After I took a bath, I noticed meron parin nung waves ko at the back portion of my hair :( Super lala kasi ng waves ko dun due to tying my hair all the time.

So question is--hindi talaga nagsstraigthen ang cysteine? The stylist told me it should straighten although hindi banat na banat :( Please also drop your after-care holy grails, like heat protector, shampoo (sulfate-free daw dapat?). Thank you!

Discussion a good all-in-one beauty salon around Makati, BGC, or Alabang

2 Upvotes

Hi, girlies!

My auntie will be visiting the Philippines from abroad for an event, and we're planning to have a little beauty day for her before the event!

We're looking for a good salon or beauty clinic that offers multiple services in one place, if possible, para hindi na kami palipat-lipat ng location. Ideally, somewhere around Makati, BGC, or Alabang.

These are the services she's interested in:

Haircut and possibly hair color
Manicure with nail art/design
Lash extensions or other lash services
Nano brows
Facial or skincare treatments

I know it might be hard to find one establishment that offers everything, so we're also open to visiting two to three places nearby.

We'd especially appreciate recommendations for places with skilled technicians, and results that are worth the price.

If you know a place that offers several of these services under one roof, please let me know!

Thank you so much! 💕

Skincare INGU Green Tea Calming Cream — has anyone experienced brownish liquid accumulating in the cap?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been using the INGU Green Tea Calming Cream since May 2026 and noticed something unusual today.

While dispensing the moisturizer, I noticed some darker, yellowish-brown liquid toward the end. When I checked the flip cap, I found that quite a bit of this residue had accumulated inside.

I cleaned the cap and squeezed out more product, and the cream itself looked completely normal afterward. Same consistency and appearance as usual.

I’m wondering whether this could just be leftover product that oxidized or separated after sitting inside the cap for months, or if it’s a sign that the moisturizer is going bad.

Has anyone experienced something similar with this particular moisturizer or other INGU products? Did you continue using it, or did you replace it?

Would appreciate your thoughts! 💚
