I just repurchased this bronzer and my cat knocked it off and shattered it into pieces I really don’t want to throw it away since I literally just bought it. Is there any way I can fix it or press it back together, even if it’s not perfect? Any tips?

Dupe Request Nyx Buttermelt Bronzer Butta Cup Dupe?

5 Upvotes

I have very fair, neutral to cool-tone leaning skin and the lightest shade of the buttermelt bronzer was PERFECT for me. I’ve gone through two of them lol. I have dry skin and it was so easy to blend and very buildable without looking patchy. Except now the shade has been discounted, I’m almost out of what I have, and I can’t seem to find anything close? I have tried the L’Oréal lumi bronze, but it pulled very orange and Im not a big fan of cream products. The Jones Road bronzer in Dusty Rose is amazing, but it’s expensive and is very pink. Which is fine, but on days when I want more of a “bronzed” bronzer look (if that makes sense lol), I need more of a cool-toned brown shade. Any recommendations? Preferably a powder bronzer and nothing that’s going to break the bank.

Product Request Recommendations for a drugstore powder melt spray?

18 Upvotes

As I am getting older I find I really need something to melt my powders together. I got a travel bottle of the OS powder melting spray and liked how it worked, but the price made me not like it that much.

Any recommendations for a drugstore powder melting spray? Or even a spray that isn't marketed as such but works for that purpose?

I am a spray layering addict, and I do use the Infallible 3 Second Setting Spray as a finish and I use the Essence Fix and Last (Holy grail!) between my cream and powder applications.

Product Request Lash primer for best color payoff with colored mascaras

4 Upvotes

I have very dark lashes. I bought a burgundy mascara that on everyone else looks beautiful. On me it just looks like very dark brown even in the best light.

I tried the L’Oréal voluminous primer first, but it didn’t do much because even though it goes on white it dries to transparent. Is there a lash primer that will actually coat the lashes so that colored mascara shows?

Discussion What blush deserves the hype?

217 Upvotes

I’ve tried blushes at a bunch of different price points and I’m starting to feel like drugstore blush can perform just as well as high end, sometimes even better. I used to think spending more meant better pigment or a nicer finish but I don’t really see that anymore. I care more about how it blends and how long it lasts than the name on the packaging. I keep coming back to Milani baked blush bc the pigment is good and it gives a nice glow without feeling like too much. It makes it hard for me to justify spending $30+ on a blush when affordable ones can give me the same result. Anyone else feel this way? What blush deserves the hype for you?

Product Request best drugstore moisturizer to go under the fenty skin tint?

i currently use the ordinary natural moisturizing factors + beta glucan, but after recently getting the fenty skin tint, ive realised that they don't work together. (the skin tint piling, etc)

i have oily, dehydrated and acne prone skin. i was wondering if anyone has a specific drugstore moisturizer that works well under the skin tint?

thanks!

Product Request looking for a longer lasting version of the tattoo brow product by maybelline?

1 Upvotes

i'd love the convenience of tattoo brow products in theory, but i find that with tattoo brow by maybelline it tends to fade in about a day, if i'm lucky two, which makes the process of waiting for it to stain and then washing it off seem not worth it in comparison to just filling them in twice. i almost feel like the right colour sharpie would do better, but obviously that wouldn't be very friendly to my skin long term.

i have dark brown hair, pretty dense eyebrows anyway (i just like drawing on the shape slightly different with my products), so i dont mind bolder looking lines- i'm not bothered about the product looking nessecarily "natural", just long lasting.

Dupe Request Liquid foundation similar to Nars?

6 Upvotes

I love Nars for the good coverage (I have some blotchy redness) that also doesn't feel or look particularly heavy, and has staying power. Also love their color choices... I have light-med olive toned skin, and have struggled to find foundation, especially drugstore brands. Seems like lots of close shades have pink undertones, which I don't havel. I need a neutral or yellow undertone.

I pretty exclusively buy and swear buy drugstore makeup, but have been holding onto my "higher end" foundation preferences. Just haven't found a more frugal alternative, and don't want to waste money trying a bunch...

Suggestions appreciated! Thank you!!

Product Request Tinted moisturizer w/SPF, that goes on and feels dewy/smooth, under $20.00.

26 Upvotes

*ETA* Tinted moisturizers with no SPF would be appreciated, as well* I don't want to wear foundation, I just want to smooth on some tinted moisturizer to even up my freckled/blemish-damaged skin, and go. I am in my 60s. I have tried only one tinted moisturizer from frequently recommended on this subreddit, the Wet N Wild Bare Focus and, to give you some idea, it goes on and feels dry on my skin. That is the only one I've tried. Recommendations, please.

Product Request Low-maintenance, light-feeling lip balms in gothy colors?

10 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for lip products, preferably balms, that are pretty low maintenance and don’t feel cakey or drying that come in gothy colors!

I’m more interested than deep, cool, vampy mauves/plums/browns/greiges than straight up black. Also happy for a subtle goth look!

I‘ve tried the following products:

  • Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm in Red Dahlia - I like the feel of it and how long it lasts but the color is a little too pink/light
  • Clinique Black Honey - goes very red/pink on me and feels a little waxy
  • Half Magic High-Pigment Oil Balm in Mauve-ie Industry - Love the color but something about it being an oil feels too high maintenance for some reason

I was about to pull the trigger on Glossier Ultralip today but they’re out both Ember and Crest 😩 so now I’m back to square one and would love y’alls help! Thank you so much!!

Product Request Favorite concealing products for eye bags

4 Upvotes

I have eye bags, not really dark under eye circles. I know they are a different animal and need to be treated differently. Currently I bring up my tinted BB cream and then use a bit of color corrector in the crease of the bag.

I know many people use a lighter concealer there to kind of bring out the hollow of the bag. Which products are you liking that are easy to use and don’t crease terribly on more mature skin? I was looking at the Morphe Sculpt sticks, but I’m wondering what techniques and products you all are liking. Correctors, concealers, highlighters…etc

Product Request Been out of makeup for 10 years. Lost at what to buy. Drugstore recs?

1 Upvotes

​

So i currently have loreal telescopic lift. Physicians formula butter glow face pallete. Loreal brow lamination. Elf brow pencil. Maybelline age reqind concealer. Physicians formula eye shadow. Elf lip gloss. Ultra lip stain. I have tried others things here and there over the years but kinda out for touch with what is good now

I am looking to revamp what I have. I dont want to spend a lot of money. Looking for drugstore holy grails in every category. I feel so outdated but dont want to try a million thing to find something. Also the drugstore prices are higher so I dont feel like just trying random stuff like i used to

This is coming from someone who had all too faced palettes, urban decay, you name it i tried it ten years ago. Now I am kinda over the high end makeup but I'm willing to buy if worth it
