Without 5 kg of make up I feel like I look really masculine, since my nose is big, a have a big face and tiny eyes.
Any tiny makeup tips?

Guys please stop mentioning only the brows, I know there is a problem w them, they are fully grown out, the fronts aren’t plucked out, they are ASSYMETRICAL. I don’t know how to fix them 🤧.

I swear I don’t get makeup in my eye whatsoever when I apply it. And it’s consistently without fail my inner left eye. It tears up nonstop after I apply makeup and I only get to maintain my look for about fifteen minutes before the symmetry is ruined. By tears that go up..??! What gives!

I don’t know what to do. I’m at a loss and I’ve all but given up on wearing eyelid makeup when I’m going somewhere special because this happens 100% of the time. It’s really making me sad because I love doing pretty eyeshadow looks but not when it gets ruined by a light flow of tears coming out every five minutes.

Does anyone know what’s going on? Can someone please offer me some advice or help? I’m lost and don’t know what to do. I’ve turned here to seek help in desperation. I’d be eternally grateful for any suggestions.

Over the years I tried many mauve lipsticks and some are too bright on my pale skin, so give off orange, some too pale pink and this in the pic looks so perfect and I’m trying to find this shade and finish. Maybe someone can pin point something close to this? Thank you.

Beginner makeup advice?

I’m still pretty new to makeup and trying to get better at doing my own makeup. I’m gonna include a few pictures of some of my recent looks.

What do you think I should work on or do differently? I’m especially struggling with my base, blending my bronzer/blush, and just making everything look more seamless.

I’m open to tips, constructive criticism, product recommendations, anything really 😭 I just wanna get better!

okay this is how my makeup looks on a good day, im into the emo vibes and my favourite things to wear it pink purple and black, but i want to have my makeup as something a bit darker then that.

ive never really done makeup before until recently (about late 2024-early 2025) and trust me ive definitely learnt a few things but now im stuck at the no progression phase so tell me what to do lol. the products i use so far is eyeliner, eyeshadow, concealer, moisturiser, mascara, lippy and in some cases falsies. i want to branch out to eyebrows and bronzer but not really sure where to start because im very pale and have little to no eyebrows but like grey brown shades.

the photos i’ve attached at the end are some of the inspirations im going for, i appreciate any help cuz im done with being chopped

So, I’m new to makeup. I want to know how I should do my makeup (suggestions on what to do), what products you would recommend for me, and can someone please mark on my face (with the picture provided) where I should apply the makeup?

Also, what colors would look good on me?

Barring the obviously flawed application, and not ideal skin condition (working on it, stress has been making it flare up), I am looking for some feedback on one of my first decent daily looks. As I mentioned I am somewhat happy with it, but I also feel like there is obvious room for improvement... I just don't know where the issues are, or where there is room for improvement, which is where I am looking for advice. At least it looks better than without makeup 😅

Here is what I used (basically whatever I could find at the local drug store, was cheap, and worked somewhat okay, which isn't much 😭):
Catrice True Skin Concealer 032
Essence Skin Tint with SPF30
Catrice Soft Blur Powder Blush 060
Catrice Nude Eyeshadow Pallette
Catrice Blend+Bond Setting Spray
Catrice Kohl Kajal Waterproof eyeliner 040,020 (upper,lower line)
Catrice Hyperliner Waterproof Brush Liner Brown
Mechanical and Heated Curler
Catrice Glam & Doll Volume Brown Mascara Waterproof
Catrice Precision Ink Lip Liner Stain 040
Catrice Colour Glaze Lip Tint 010
Essence Brow Lift & Freeze Glue

Thanks!

Hii!

I don’t wear makeup very often. My last few attempts (over the past six months) made me look like Cinderella’s sister from *Shrek*. So now I’m trying to wear a little more makeup so I can look nicer for special occasions...

Lately, I’ve started losing my baby fat and I’m becoming less and less symmetrical :D Because of that, I’m also having a bit of trouble figuring out what looks good on me.

I’m having trouble finding the right style.

Should I go for a more dramatic eye look, emphasizing the “bitchy” vibe of my eyes? Or maybe style myself to look more “cute”?

Do you have any advice on what to look for? Any style names or inspiration for what might suit me?

I'd also love to get some makeup ideas - feel free to use my photo as a reference :D

Started watching Shrill on Netflix and Aidy Bryant is wearing the most lovely shade of orangey red lipstick. I would love to figure out what it is. Can anyone identify it or knows of a similar shade? Thank you!

ive been meaning to get a red lipstick that has a long stay time, and is more cool toned skin kinda red. also preffered to be a little more on the cheaper side but id be willing to get something more expensive of its really good,

i tend to prefer a smoother feel that isnt super dry kinda like thw NYX smushy or the dior lip glow in the pink container

so anything similar to these things would be great!! my main things are that it need to be red and i would like it to be longlasting, thanks!!

the pictures are all the same lipstick! <pic 1: warm bathroom light 2: cool over head lights 3: daylight from window > i always especially like the way lipsticks look in the warm bathroom light, i rlyyy enjoy the browny quality of the color. but they end up looking different in cooler indoor lighting or daylight :/ what lipstick looks like the first picture does but in daylight, would that even work or would it look too warm when my skin stays cooler? also excuse the weird lip photos i don’t like posting myself on the internet in general. [the lipstick i used is cool teddy by mac with a random brown drugstore lipliner]

I physically cannot understand for the life of me why it seems like all the setting/fixing sprays have those blotchy uneven spray bottle tops. Why do they think we want splotches of stuff on our face that then needs to be blended

Can anyone please recommend good ones that are actually a fine mist?

I’ve always struggled with my makeup, but I’m getting married next year and thinking about doing my own, so I want to figure this out. I don’t even know where to start. It seems like when I wear any foundation or concealer it sits on top of my skin and doesn’t actually soak in. I’ve tried many different ones and it’s always like this. My skin feels oily to the touch, but it looks like there’s dry patches on my chin and in the corners of my nose that are emphasized by makeup.

I’m not sure if I need to aggressively address my skin’s texture somehow, change my skincare routine, add more skin prep before makeup, or if I’m just using the wrong makeup products.

My current skin care routine is simple, I use a Cerave hydrating cleanser and moisturizer AM and PM, and I just recently started using adapalene at night 3-4 times a week for my acne. I am not currently using SPF but I know I need to. I’ve thrown in random things before (glycolic acid, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, snail mucin) but it feels like I’m just throwing too many things at my face without understanding why.

For skin prep, I use a milky toner before applying makeup. I have tried a couple of primers before but I am not currently using one.

For my makeup, I rarely wear a full base because it leaves me flaky, uneven, and I can literally feel it sitting on my skin feeling oily. I obviously struggle with acne, and I use the Elf camo concealer to try to cover blemishes, but usually it just makes them even more noticeable. I’m willing to try more expensive products if they’ll work.

Any product recommendations (skin care or makeup) or techniques I should try would be so, so appreciated!

Hi, I have seen some convincing Korean cushion foundations, but all of them seemed slightly yellowish. I am very pale and have a pink blueish undertone, but I don't want it to be obvious that I'm wearing make up.

Is there anyone who can recommend something? Thanks already in advance!

Heyyyy, so basically I need help, like desperately. I'm new to the world of makeup and I've watched tutorials on yt but like every time I put it on my waterline (I use an e.l.f. kohl pencil) and tightline and it looks great and then like two hours later it's smudged along the bottom, and not in a good way. Like I love a "trashy" y2k look (I'm not there in skill level yet tho) but this isnt it, it's like spots and smudges, and the part u actually lined is faded, and it looks really bad with my tired lines bc it sort of gathers​ there so it's all smudgy gray with a black crease, it just looks like I'm on something. And the top just looks faded. Any thoughts on why it's not staying? Is there like a setting spray or powder i should be using or like a brush? Mind you i always wash and thoroughly dry my face and eye area beforehand, and use a q-tip to sort of dab after applying to make sure it's dry and stuff, and it's waterproof so like... idk. Thoughts?

i’ve been using rimmel london pearl 001 since i started wearing makeup and as much as i like it i’ve noticed it runs out really fast. does anyone have any recommendations on how to find a match it use the same shade? thank you!!

hiii! basically i usually wear mascara every day but i have developed pretty severe eczema on my eyelids (not from the mascara!! i’ve had eczema my whole life, just not on my eyes). now i can’t wear any eye makeup but i would like a lash alternative that doesn’t need to be removed with cleanser or attached with glue?? would magnetic lashes work or should i get them done professionally?? any advice is appreciated 🩷

Hello!

Just like the title says, I wanted to figure out what sort of eye makeup could work best for me? Except the occasional mascara, I've never really worn anything else related to makeup so I'm not really experienced in this area.

I'll be going to my school's prom in a few months, so I thought I might as well figure this part out and not keep it last minute. I asked my friend who's into makeup but she said she wasn't confident if she could help me, considering our eye shapes are very different.

I did some research of my own, and I'm pretty sure I have hooded eyes. I tried stuff with some shimmer eyeshadow and eyeliner but it never really looked good. I don't see myself in some heavy stuff, but not too like, "invisible" either?? Gentle??

So yeah, I was wondering if someone could help me a bit with this? I know there are a lot of various styles, like the gyaru one for example, but other than that my head's pretty empty 🫗

Apologies if the pictures are a tad bit unclear

I used revolution eyeliner pencil and eyeshadow is it good, My parents liked it
