I failed to keep the mascaras I went through this year... my bad... But I always use Maybelline Lash Stiletto.

What have I learned? I should really tone down my purchases of products like eyeshadow palettes and blush palettes. It takes FOREVER to get through one. And yet I have so maaany.

The Korean dupe for the porefessional is the Aritaum Pore Master Sebum Control Primer, which is the EXACT same as the porefessional but cheaper. I bought mine at a kbeauty store for around 5$ but it's on amazon!

u/formerlyfitzgerald · 30 pointsr/AskWomen

Skinfood Peach Sake Finishing Powder as my dry shampoo! ($7.99 + Free Shipping on Amazon) I love using it because

a) it's fine and doesn't make my hair feel too gritty and it actually absorbs the oil really well

b) It smells like peaches

c) It lasts a really long time, much longer than an aersol can

d) IT SMELLS LIKE PEACHES

I recommend using a kabuki or makeup brush to apply it.

u/alextyrian · 30 pointsr/rupaulsdragrace

Eyebrow Cover - Elmer's Glue, Pros-aide Cream. Raven talking about Bianca recommending it to her.

Powder - Coty Airspun is the best on the market for the cost. You can literally get it at Walmart, and for Translucent Powder the only thing that matters is the texture. Ben Nye Luxury Powder is the other standard, but it's pricier. The "girl, look how orange you fucking look, girl" powder is Topaz. A ton of queens of color use the Banana powder, and even cis women use it now because Kim K's makeup artist uses it on her. Ben Nye also makes a Super White powder that gets used over their Clown White foundation for very stark highlights, like under the brow. I believe Super White is the powder Sharon Needles uses to look ghostly. Raven's preferred pressed white powder is Mac Studio Fix in Shivering White.

Foundations - Kryolan TV Paintstick has been the industry standard for about a decade now. It used to be MaxFactor Panstik, but they discontinued it in the US. Jackie Beat bought all of it that she could in bulk when that happened, but then I think eventually switched to Kryolan. Dermablend was originally formulated to cover burns, so it also gets used. I believe Katya used it on Drag Race, if she doesn't still use it. Ben Nye Clown White is the product that Nina accused everyone of stealing from her, and is an incredibly versatile product. Manila Luzon used it in her makeup tutorial to cover her black brows.

Eyeshadows - Sugarpill Pro Palette is pretty ubiquitous at this point, but they were founded in like 2010 so there are still old-school queens who are holdouts. Bulletproof and Tako are just about the best black and white eyeshadows on the market. Trixie and Farrah both use Dollypop constantly. On the other hand, they mostly concentrate on crayola colors and less on browns. La Femme and Mac are basically responsible for Raven's beige face. Miss Fame uses a lot of Cozzette Infinite Eyeshadow.

Lip Pencils - MAC are basically the standard. Nothing else comes to mind. I've used drug store pencils, but these are the only ones I've gone out of my way for. Sharon swears by Nightmoth lip liner.

Lip Color - OCC Lip Tar used to be everywhere, but Jeffree Star seems to have put them out of business. Traditional lipsticks are easy to make, so basically any drugstore brand does the job if you can find a color you like.

Highlighters - Jeffree Star Skin Frost, Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit. These didn't used to be a thing. In Manila's 2011 makeup tutorial she used dots of MAC loose pigment in Vanilla for this purpose, and that was kind of groundbreaking because it was how her face didn't look matte after being powdered to hell.

So your best best is to get stuff from Amazon Prime. Since you don’t typically wear makeup, I think a simple look will work best for you. I’d stay away from foundation since if you’re not used to wearing it, it can feel heavy and itchy. Concealer would be good to try though, a little bit under your eyes and on any blemishes will even out your complexion without it being too much—try this: L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer, Light Ivory, 0.28 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VKIJPNE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CPxXAbWJPHCHC

For eyeshadow, I like to blend a matte brown in my crease and then put a shimmery skin-tone color on my lid to make my eyes pop. I’ve heard good things about this one: wet n wild Color Icon Eyeshadow 10 Pan Palette, Rose in the Air, 0.3 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077V5CTXN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rWxXAb163N4AT

I use this mascara and it works well: L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara, Blackest Black, 0.28 fl. oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XF2TR11/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_63xXAb0DTNT87

I like to use a glowy blush to make my skin look healthy, something like this: Milani Baked Blush, Luminoso, 0.12 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00518N2JC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_f9xXAbC4MPGHM

And lastly, I like a tinted lip balm to tie everything together. These look really pretty and taste good too! Revlon Kiss Lip Balm, Juicy Peach https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KI40DHM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4byXAbANQY65A

These can all also be bought at drug stores, so if Amazon isn’t an option, I’d see if you can get a grocery service to pick them up for you, like Instacart maybe. Good luck!

u/sp3cia1j · 21 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

this is a great dupe and a lot cheaper. Someone on one of these threads recommended it to me, so paying it forward :)

u/meagantron · 17 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

if you're still trying, you should try Holika Holika with tea tree oil! It's my favorite!

u/ImLaurenNow · 16 pointsr/transpassing

Posted this on other account but it got moderated, had a bad word OOPS :(

I'm going to be blunt but it's in your best interests. This may also be long.

I don't think you have a large head as someone else has said, and there is nothing wrong with a square shaped head, it is not exclusively a masculine shape. In fact I see quite soft features when I look at you, which certainly would be improved and amplified with HRT.

The wig - It is very obvious and I would not recommend wearing it out in its current state. Depending on finances, you can do incredible things with hair extensions with just 4 inches of hair, which for most people is about 8-12 months of growth from a buzz cut.

Extensions - Depending on finances, as I said with 4 inches of hair or more you can get incredible extensions from a salon, they know how to make them look great (check reviews for your area though).

A cheaper option is clip in extensions, for a full head I recommend no less than 230 grams including the clips at about a 20" length. These can also be clipped in to very short hair an example video being here. I have only 2" of hair on back and sides and about 6" of hair on the top and using this method I get a flawless finish, I curl the top length of my hair and the extensions so they blend a little easier. This will also depend on your hairline but there are hairstyles you can use with extensions to cover that as well, and they look much more natural.

Makeup - I'm going to be very blunt in saying everything about it is wrong. Wrong shade, wrong tone, wrong finish and application.

Wrong shade - Your makeup is way too dark and it definitely makes you look like you're wearing a mask.
Wrong tone - Though hard to tell with pictures it looks like it is a yellow based foundation, so a warm tone (or cool tone if you go by macs definitions). Your skin to me looks pink based, so cool toned but I would never recommend a cool toned foundation to anyone so you should look for something in neutral tones to be safe.

Finish and application - You have applied it way too thick over your entire face, and the finish is too shiny, it is highlighting on ALL the wrong places to highlight.

How to fix it!!! :D

For beard cover I recommend Maybelline Dark Circles Eraser in probably the shade 'light'. I use this personally myself and it is incredible at covering beard, as it has a slight orange tone that does not require heavy foundation to cover but does neutralize the blue tones in beard shadow. It is a liquid concealer and doesn't look too heavy on the skin. I apply a layer all over with the sponge tip applicator and powder over it before putting foundation on (I will recommend a powder shortly). This product also works great for its original purposes as an under eye concealer :D. You may want to eventually buy a second in the shade 'fair' to give a little under eye highlight.

IF you find this and foundation are not quite enough cover, as I don't on some days where I have especially dark shadow (perfect contrast to my pale skin) I will use the Nyx Dark Circle Concealer in Medium underneath the maybelline concealer just to enhance the orange tones slightly, it is very sheer however and does not provide coverage on its own, it is purely to add more orange tones.

Foundation - I use Loreal True Match and for you I would recommend the shade N2, obviously test this in store to make sure you get the right shade as I am only going off photos.

I would apply this over the powdered beard area with fingers and a dabbing motion, kind of gently slapping your face with two fingers, this gives the best coverage. For the rest of the face I recommend a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge as this gives a lighter coverage and a nice texture. Once your beard coverage foundation has has a few seconds to set, you can also bounce this over it lightly to adjust the texture in that area.

Powder - I use Rimmel Stay Matte in Transparent. For a pressed powder it's quite fine and doesn't add any coverage (less cake), however it will ELIMINATE that shine on your face!

Some additional things you aren't doing as far as I can tell are blush and contouring, I love Nyx Powder Blush in Mocha for blush and Nyx Powder Blush in Taupe for contouring. They are both lightly pigmented making them hard to muck up, the mocha is not overly pink and in-your-face and the taupe is perfect for contouring as it is not orange and is very neutral. You will find 1 million and 1 YouTube tutorials on how to do both of these things properly.

The final thing I can say is you're muting your lips out and making them almost invisible with your foundation, buy some lipstick to fix that, and you can always overdraw the middle of your top and bottom lips slightly with a lip liner, but be sure to go over your whole lip if you do this, you dont want to be left with those lines if your lipstick wears off. :D

I know this is a long post, but if even one bit of information is able to help you, or somebody else it's all worth it. If you have any questions feel free to PM me, I usually check this account once per day :)

u/chiffonandheels · 15 pointsr/brownbeauty

Oh my god, I think color correcting is my calling. I posted in MUA a few months ago about my color correcting B/A (link here) and I'm a huge advocate of drugstore makeup.

These are my lifesaving products- keep in mind that although I am a medium/deep (tan) skin tone, the following correctors can work wonders for darker and lighter skin tones.

  1. L'Oreal Color Correcting Primer in Medium/Deep

  2. NYX's Concealer in a Jar in Orange

  3. Concealer Palette


    These products may be cheap, but the amount of correction to the face is astounding.


    The first product is something I use everyday. I take about half a pump onto the back of my hand and go around my undereye/eye area, my muzzle discoloration and my hyperpigmented birthmarks on my face. A light, targeted layer of this instantly brightens the skin, and often times it will be enough after foundation to cancel out discoloration.


    For days where I have slept less, or woken up after being dehydrated, the orange pot concealer is my best friend. I will blend this orange with a lighter skin tone concealer from the palette to create a custom correcting shade for concealing. The palette also has some peach-y tones but I find they are too light for me. When mixed, the concealer becomes this beautiful smooth and creamy formula that can be layered (lightly!) to avoid creasing, but to create a flawless finish. That concealer palette is also incredibly helpful for contouring/highlighting.


    My next color correcting investments will be these products:


  4. Mac Prep + Prime Fortified Skin Enhancer in Recharge

  5. Mac Studio Conceal and Correct Palette in Medium Deep
    Destiney Godley has a great video where she uses this and loves it, so I'm pretty stoked to get it.


    If you have any questions please please please let me know! I'm by no means an expert, but I do this every single time I wear makeup, and I've only gotten better at it! :)
u/AlaskanFeesh · 13 pointsr/PaleMUA

Hi, I have Misssha's perfect cover bb cream in no. 13 :) Some of my other shade matches are: NW10 & NARS Chantilly.

I buy off Amazon when I need to replace it. I've found it to lean very pink on me (though I am very pink), but I've heard others say it is very neutral on them.

I have normal/oily skin and I find it doesn't dry me out, I actually glow a little as the day wears on (AKA I get a little oily). I feel it's more medium+ coverage when applied with a beauty blender.

​

Let me know if you have any other questions.

u/ediblesprysky · 12 pointsr/Youniqueamua

It's like the modern version of tinted moisturizer, sort of? Very common in Asian beauty—I think that's where they originated. Lighter coverage and more skincare-like than regular foundation, but definitely more makeup than skincare. I use this one as my everyday face product; friggin love it.

u/Hellodeeries · 12 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Ohhh, that sucks. You can get it cheaper (assuming you are Canadian and live there, not visiting) on Amazon.

edit: also, to compare pricing, the Amazon listing in CDN is around $25, USD is around $21. To buy it full-price (retail) is USD $24. That store is crazy marked up - exchange to USD is about $30 (probably includes taxes, I'm assuming).

u/believekarma · 11 pointsr/MakeupAddictionCanada

If you don't have them already, Amazon has The Balm products like Betty/Mary/Cindy Lou Manizers, which are priced like $10 cheaper than at Rexall, and have free shipping because they're over $25.

u/Yoyochan · 11 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Hey, I'm in the same boat! We just happen to have the disadvantage of not having fat deposits under our eyes, thin/fair skin, and deep-set eye sockets. Talk about a triple whammy. Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done short of surgical intervention (such as fillers) but maybe you just need to try some different makeup techniques.

Maybelline's Dark Circle Concealer has been one of the better concealers I've found recently, it really does a nice job and stays put with some setting powder. You could also consider playing around with color-correcting powders to neutralize the discoloration. There is also the Dermablend brand that has become famous for their heavy-duty makeup that really stays put, but is on the more expensive end.

Also, are you moisturizing enough, especially around the eyes? If you slap on a good moisturizer after washing it can help to retain some of that water that you've added to your skin, making the area appear more smooth and plump. Perhaps something like CeraVe's eye cream could help you out.

And hey, if it's any consolation, I think you're really gorgeous - that hair! Those eyes, those freckles! Try not to let one little facial feature issue get to you too much, you have so many other beautiful things going for you!

u/butmehm2 · 11 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Ben Nye Final Seal Matte Makeup Sealer! It smells like mouthwash but is wayyy better than my UD sprays. I used it on my wedding day and, despite the heat, crying, etc., my makeup looked great at the end of the night!

u/zeldas_stylist · 10 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

RAVE: I just recently switched over to Korean BB creams and have seen a noticeable difference in how good they are for my skin! I bought and am testing three:

  • Missha Perfect Cover BB - May be my new HG. My skin feels so nice wearing this, and it stays on perfectly all day. I wore it yesterday and ended up on a spontaneous hike after breakfast and my skin still looked nice!
  • SKIN79 Super+ Beblesh Balm Pretty much the only thing I am wearing today, and so far... so good!
  • Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream - Actually still waiting on this one, but am excited to see if it is more bouncy/dewy than the other two.

    I am really pumped all three of these (even the one I haven't tried). I have sensitive, fair, combo skin, and have always hated makeup that was too heavy for me. I think I may have solved my problem! AND they are cheap. So awesome.
u/kayceelee · 10 pointsr/AskMen

I think it's okay. Do it if you want to. Applied well, most people won't even notice you're wearing any.

ProTip: If your bags are really bad, go for concealer with an Orange or salmon-y undertone. It's opposite blue/purple on the color wheel, so it cancels out and better conceals the color of your under-eye circles. Something like this mixed with or underneath your regular concealer, or this which is concealer with a salmon undertone.

u/snorklax · 10 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

seconding /r/asianbeauty which will have both skincare tips and a variety of primers / finishes you might not have have been aware of before. For example, I just got the Aritaum Pore Master Sebum Control Primer which has turned out to be a super affordable dupe for Benefit's Porefessional, which means I don't feel guilty using it over larger areas of larger pores.

Another thing to remember is that youtube isn't real life - even if it isn't as commercially shot as makeup ads many youtubers are using ring lights and filters to enhance what's showing up on film.

u/TS_SamanthaP · 9 pointsr/crossdressing

Your face is a canvas and the make-up is like paint. Think about painting in layers if that helps.

That being said, here's my recommendation. You skin is your canvas so you gotta take care of it. Pay attention to your body/skin, everyone is different so use what is working for you. Exfoliate regularly, exfoliating helps clear up pores and scrub away dead skin. I do it daily, again do as much as your own skin needs to. My pores tend to clog easily so I try my best to keep it clean. I use something like this, just a slightly rougher bath sponge, squeeze a little face wash on it and lightly scrub - again this is what I do, your mileage may vary.

Regardless of how oily your skin is, moisturize it. If you have naturally oilier skin like me, use a lighter moisturizer (it feels lighter on your skin not as thick or creamy). conversely, use a heavier moisturizer if you tend to have dry skin. It doesn't necessarily have to be a "face moisturizer" product, lotions work also i've noticed. The point of all this is you want a clean and hydrated skin, it looks younger and healthier. I use, Aveeno's Men's After Shave Lotion. It get's two birds with one stone for me, aftershave plus helps keep my skin hydrated and is on the lighter side (won't feel greasy when it dries.)

The next layer in the painting would be concealer and foundation. Concealers are more pigmented "cover up" work. Using me again, i have slight rosatia/pinkness, concealers help neutralize out the redness to a more even skin tone. Foundation is a less pigmented but does the same thing essentially. Go to a Walgreen's or any drugstore and just look at the color samples. You'll want to color match to your neck so that your general face color blends in with your neck. Taking care of you skin takes time to get but when you get there you shouldn't need much concealer or foundation to even out your face. I like BB Cream No. 23, Natural Biege, matches my color fairly well.

You can pick either of those up or an equivalent product at any drugstore. People won't give you any grief, it's not too common but some males do buy coverup/concealers for acne breakouts so it shouldn't cause too much fuss to buy in person.

As far as applying blush, eyeshadow, liner brows ... the works, it's hard to type out and is best if shown to you. Beating a dead horse, watch the you tube videos and practice putting them on. You WILL get better. I did a quick look through amazon, this Shany Set seems like an okay kit. It has a various color pots to play/practice with. (color pot, the little containers that the actual make up sits in.) Your small round pots are your eyeshadows and the large round ones are your blushes. It looks like it comes with the applicators too, the fancy q-tip looking things are for eyeshadows and the bristle brush for blush. It also has the standard black and brown pencil eye liner, a pencil lip liner, lipstick and some nailpolish.

When it's all said and done, you've read all that you can or watched all the videos you've cared to watch. My best advice I can give you is take care of your skin and practice. Keep putting it on, get a feel for it and learn how certain things get applied. Eyeliner for example, you need to get used to the fact that there's something that close to your eye when you're trying to put it on. With time and practice it gets easier, your hand gets steadier and your eyes don't flinch as much.

Not my best nor my worst, but here's where i'm at on a typical day. http://i.imgur.com/C1vPsxg.jpg

Lastly, baby wipes or makeup remover wipes is good for taking it all off and these on a cotton swab is good to remove eyeliner without any trace.

Edit: words and links

u/Squirdle · 9 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Here are a couple great wallet friendly drugstore items that she might like and I've included links so you can see what they look like - I didn't go into things like concealer or foundation because she needs to pick out the right color herself but if she wants recommendations for those just let me know :)


u/trbstr · 9 pointsr/LARP

For any sort of makeup whether Dark Elf or tattoo'd, I use a barrier spray before applying to help keep from sweating through the makeup. You can use the same barrier spray as a seal after application, but I use Ben Nye Final Seal for areally nice matte sealer. I played a makeup heavy character (raccoon) and those two things helped tremendously to keep the makeup in place. Both are fairly inexpensive and most costume shops carry both or similar products. Good luck!

u/dodell616 · 8 pointsr/MtF

Sorry no video. Makeup is incredibly confusing, and time consuming! You just have to go for it, and create your own style, and routines.

If you're applying eyeliner to your waterline, which is that tiny ridge between your lashes and your eyeball (upper and lower) it needs to be dry, and oil free.

If you are using liquid, or gel eyeliner, it will smudge until it sets. The fan lets you blow air on your lashes/brows without messing up your hair.

The powder puts a very fine translucent layer over the eyeliner, and or eyeshadow to keep it from smudging, and to set it. 💕E

Most contouring products are also too orange for me - I completely understand! A lot of us pale folks love using NYX Taupe blush for contouring, it does great at creating a natural-looking shadow.

As far as videos go, Lisa Eldridge is my fav. Check this one out for starters.

Edit: I just realized you said you don't own any blush either. Should probably clarify - the NYX Taupe is for contouring below the blush. You'll need something pinky-peachy for the cheeks themselves. I love Milani baked blush in Luminoso, but you may need to experiment to find something that works well with your skintone.

u/IAmGoingToFuckThat · 8 pointsr/Makeup

Order This! It makes a HUGE difference. I can't tell what your skin tone is, so you might need it in 21 instead of 13.

Edit: to give you an idea, this is me with 21 on half of my face. It is full coverage without being heavy on your skin, but if you're at all oily, you might not like it as it does not have a matte finish.

u/42spleens · 8 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

roseroseshop, eopenmarket, and Amazon have it :) It was my HG BB cream for a while but I suspected it was breaking me out so I stopped using it (and I think it was the culprit) so make sure you patch test :)

Skinfood's Salmon Dark Circle Skin Corrector! I've never tried the Bobbi Brown but I've heard this is a good dupe. I use it and find it works really well!

u/TheUnfinishedStory · 7 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Hello! We are happy to have you here! (-:

Personally I like the Holika Holika Petit BB Cream in Clearing. It contains tea tree oil and SPF 30!

I wear it whenever I have redness or pimples and it provides lightweight coverage while neutralizing the redness.

I would suggest getting a setting powder if you decide to wear BB cream, either a translucent or skin tone one. Powder helps the BB cream stay in place and helps with oil control (-:

Here's the Amazon link!

I've been using this for 6 months and it's absolutely amazing. I'm fairly pale though so take that into consideration. I'd say it's definitely worth a shot and the price is unbeatable.

This is my cat, Mia.
She's about 11 years old now. I got her when I was in 6th grade. She loved to play with plastic toy balls as a kitten, and I loved soccer, so I named her after Mia Hamm. We had to get her spayed and she was pretty traumatized by her experience. Her personality changed, and she was much more scared of everything. She would never come out if anyone besides my parents, my sister and myself were around, and the doorbell would send her into a panic. As someone who suffers from social anxiety, I could relate (as silly as that sounds) and we got very close to each other.

Over time, she came out of her shell more. It took her five years, but now she will approach my boyfriend and even sit with him. She isn't as scared of things, and she is much more outgoing. I've matured over the same time, and I'm not quite as shy as I used to be.

Currently, I'm in grad school a state away, so Mia is currently staying with my parents. When I was in undergrad, I was able to come home every weekend, so it's been hard to be away for so long. I miss her!

I don’t wear foundation often but I am a shiny mess by the end of work. I use a three step skin care process every day and a gel moisturizer , primer, this shine killer, setting powder. and a matte setting spray.

You can use a foundation between the shine killer and matte setting powder. I use this when I include foundation in my routine but I don’t wear it often and definitely don’t use foundation at the hospital.

The only other thing I recommend is using an oil absorbing sheet regularly throughout the night. It’s really the best thing I’ve found to deal with oily skin.

It's a bit more expensive there, but for any other website you'd probably have to pay shipping anyway. I bought mine on Amazon a few months ago and I had no issues with the product or with buying it from there.

Transgirl here. I'm still learning a lot but I've picked up a lot of tips.

Youtube is a great place to start. There's lots of make-up channels.

Use a primer, especially if you're going with a powder foundation, it helps everything set better imo.

I have dark beard shadow and color corrector has been a godsend. Depending on your skin tone, applying orange or like a salmon color before your foundation should help hide that immensely. I really like nyx for these.

If you have a friend you can trust have them help you find a foundation to match your skin tone unless you're confident you can figure it out.

If you have masculine facial features a highlighting kit is your lifeline. It can really help mask things you want to cover and draw towards what you like. Again a friend who knows what they're doing really helps since every face is different, but you can get the gist online and stumble through.

Idk if you plan on using lipstick, because I didn't care for it at first, but a little extra color really helps me pass.

Eyeliner is still the hardest part for me. Like, I seriously think you just gotta practice and mess up a lot before it starts to click. Eventually your eyes will stop watering up, if they do now lol. You'll find stuff you like but it takes a lot of practice. Cis-girls have years on us lol.

I haven't done much with eyeshadow yet but find colors that work with your skin tone, lipstick whatever and make sure to blend them well.

If you have any more specific questions I'm happy to help however i can.

u/terberter6669 · 6 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Sure thing! Step-by-step, comin' at you.

  1. Make sure area is clean and dry. Put face moisturizer on it and let it soak in.
  2. Put primer on, not just on the marks but all over the area. This is actually an important step because sweat and clothing are going to be working against you all day so having primer on there will help the makeup adhere to your skin mo' betta. And it'll just look smoother.
  3. Put a color-correcting concealer on. I used green, but yellow would probably also work (green cancels out red tones, yellow cancels out purple). Put the color correcting concealer ONLY on the marks, not the surrounding skin (aside from a little bit of blending so the edges aren't too sharp). I used this flat foundation brush, but fingers might work as well.
  4. Put on your normal, skin-tone concealer. Apply this directly on top of the color correcting one, and also into the surrounding areas to blend it. I used this brush to stipple it on. She can look up youtube videos of how to stipple, but it's basically just bouncing the product onto your skin.
  5. Brush on a thin layer of translucent powder. This helps set the first layer of concealer so that you can pile on more layers without them muddying or blending together, since you want to create a layer effect and not a puddle of concealer. I used this powder and this brush to do so. Any translucent powder and large brush will do the trick!
  6. Repeat step #4!
  7. Then repeat step #5!
  8. Use your normal foundation and stipple brush for a final layer that should be pretty seamless with the rest of your skin.
  9. I chose to do a final layer of translucent powder, but that's because I live in Southern California and it's hot and I need to be prepared for the gym. I'm sweating a lot of the time. She could probably go without.

    Good luck!

u/likes_spicy · 5 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Wow, that's a pretty big haul! It's great that you've got some knowledge of basic skincare and makeup! You can also check out the Beginner's guide for some more information on Asian skincare. The Holy Grail list is also a good introductory resource for different types of layering skincare products, and some makeup products. If you know your skin type and concerns, you can also check out the February Routine thread to see what other users have in their routine and if it helps them.

Now, on to the main concern of your post!

Primers

Like other users have mentioned in your original post, you do have two eye primers. Do you intend on wearing eyeshadow often? If yes, I suggest that you try them and pick the one that works the best for you. If it's possible, you could return both and try the samples instead.

Setting Powder

I think the Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder and the Skinfood Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder are great. The best thing about them is that they work wonderfully (given that it's not caked on), and the smooth finish lasts the entire day for me. They are also cost efficient, and you can find plenty of reviews online.

Sun protection

I haven't tried that Shiseido sunscreen, so I can't comment on the quality and effectiveness of it. I suggest that you try it to make sure that:

  • the sun protection is enough for you in your daily activities
  • the finish of the cream is appropriate for your skin type (is it greasy? matte?)
  • your skin doesn't become irritated by the sunscreen

    I prefer using the Hada Labo UV Creamy Gel and the newly formulated Biore
    Aqua Rich Watery Essence
    . I find that both of them do not cause me to break out, or leave my face feeling oily and greasy. They are seriously my HG. You might want to consider trying these as well! They are a bit cheaper than the Shiseido one, and the PA+++/++++ protection is a huge plus!

    Lip tint

    For $12, the Sephora lip stain is not a bad pick up! That's about on par for most Asian lip tints.

    Eyeshadow palettes

    Many Asian eyeshadows are neutral colors and tones, and are not as pigmented as other American brands. Personally, I don't mind this because it suits my tastes, but others might. I am a fan of the Urban Decay Naked palettes, and I do recommend them if they aren't out of your price range. I also like the NYX palettes because they are quite affordable with good color pay-off, and the Innisfree Mineral Single Shadows because of the sparkles in some of the selections.

    Before you purchase, you can also do some research and look for reviews of other palettes that you're interested in (unless you feel like being adventurous!). Most reviews include swatches so you can see how that color looks on that individual.

    I can't comment on the blush or lip primer since I don't use those types of products often in my routine.

    Regarding your skin type and concerns... What is your current routine? For color correction, there are many products that help with lightening redness. I have seen much success with using Missha's Time Revolution FTE (old formula) and Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule. These products usually go on sale often, so be sure to check out the Missha sales. You could also look into incorporating some vitamin C, AHA, or BHA products in your routine as well.

    There are also many moisturizing creams that can moisturize your skin! You can look through the two lists I linked above to find some of the popular ones that ABers recommend.

    Lastly... before I fall asleep ... You don't have to be afraid of skincare and makeup! The process of finding your HG products will require trial and error. Here, I would like to stress that makeup and skincare is very much YMMV. What works for one person may not work for another, so that's why it's important to patch test and do research! For beginners, I would not recommend buying a full sized, expensive, product before trying a sample of it or doing research! The best thing about Sephora is that you can ask for a sample to try at home before you commit to the purchase. That way, if it causes a breakout, you wouldn't have to worry about wasting it or having to make a trip to the store to return it. In addition, by being mindful of the ingredients, you can potentially find out which ingredient(s) cause a bad reaction and avoid it.

    We're all very friendly and helpful here, and many of us are able to answer any questions you may have! There's a daily thread that's stickied, and you can ask specific questions there.

    Best of luck!

Have you tried any of the Korean cushion foundations, like Missha Magic Cushion? They are all crazy pale, which is something I didn't think I could find for myself.

u/ponytailnoshushu · 4 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Have you considered a SPF powder such as this or this ?

I use both of these in the summer over my make up. I've also used the Skin Aqua sarafit spray but I find it can make my foundation go a bit cakey so I tend to use that on no make up days.

u/tintedlipbalm · 4 pointsr/RedPillWives

My picks are a rotation of Japanese sunscreens, because when it comes to skincare I just can't stick to one thing!

Some in my rotation:

Disclosure: These are all Amazon non-affiliate links so people here can easily find prices and other reviews (even though I personally shop these on Ebay and Rakuten and not Amazon).

  • Biore Perfect Face Milk - Says it's water resistant, I personally like the finish and can use it under makeup with no issues.

  • Biore Perfect Milk - This is great for going out in my opinion, an actual going outside face sunscreen!

  • Hada Labo Creamy UV Gel - Very light and friendly, I reserve it for interior use.

  • Shiseido SENKA Mineral Water - I really like this one and on me this has a matte powdery finish. Some people complain it goes on greasy. I find that whole it's greasier than others during application, it dries out non-greasy. YMMV.

  • Forgot to add: I use Privacy's UV Face Powder for retouching. It's Zinc Oxide based. There are other sunscreen powders on the market. My mom uses Colorescience's and it can be found on Amazon too, and Peter Thomas Roth also has one. I just use this one because it's cheaper. It's very whitish though so not the best option for darker skintones.

    Finally, the cult favorite is Biore Watery Essence so I'm linking it. I personally did not like how drying this was and its citrus smell, but the vast majority of people swear by it because it's really light and easy to use everyday in interiors.

    Japanese sunscreens generally contain alcohol and all the ones I listed do contain alcohol, so if you're against alcohol in sunscreen you might not like the ones I list, however there are some well liked alcohol-free Japanese sunscreens that you can find searching online, /r/AsianBeauty can be a good resource for these.

    The reason I personally like Japanese sunscreens in particular is their texture and their ingredients. Most of them contain Titanium Dioxide (a physical UV blocker) and/or Zinc Oxide (the broadest spectrum UVA blocker approved for sunscreen use at the moment). UVA are the rays you need to look out for when preventing sings of aging. This is what PA and the plus signs after it stand for in Japanese sun products, while the SPF we are all familiar with only refers to UVB protection. Four plus signs after PA denote the highest level of protection currently in place.

    The downside of physical sunscreen it that it tends to leave a white cast behind so darker-skinned people might have issues with this aesthetically.

    There might be western sunscreens that are physical but most mainstream brands (like Neutrogena) rely on their chemical patented formula (or a mix of physical and chemical like some of La Roche Posay), which is also good, but can be sensitizing to some people. They also do have a greasier formula that remains tacky at least in my experience, and some people really hate this about sunscreen.

    I don't personally use Korean sunscreens at the moment because their regulations only allow PA+++ to be the highest, but many people enjoy their variety, so again you can look in the AsianBeauty subreddit or on youtube/blogs if you want to read reviews of those.

    **



    If you for personal reasons would like to get a Western brand physical non-greasy sunscreen, Paula's Choice Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 Tinted Matte Moisturizer contains Zinc Oxide protection and has a matte finish!

    Her line is overall well liked by people because of their choice of ingredients due to a philosophy of extensive research. I have this sunscreen and while I found it too drying for my normalish-to-combo skin, it could be a godsend for oilier people. Ideal for daily use, and it has some tint. I haven't tried any other of her sunscreens but her line is worth looking into, if you're new to building a routine! Unfortunately I'm just noticing that since my introduction to this brand in 2014 the prices have raised, most likely due to her online following growing.

    Final note:
    All of which I just wrote is stuff I learned from the Internet and also my personal experiences with the products I've tried and liked, I'm not a sun protection expert!*
u/MsYutai · 4 pointsr/AsianBeauty

You could try the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in #13 in the lightest shade-- it's definitely got a pink undertone but it's very pale.

Another option is the Skin 79 Green BB-- I tried this one and found it too pale for me, but pretty neutral in tone!

Can probably find samples of each on eBay so you can try before buying the full size.

u/NessaTesla · 4 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Have you considered korean makeup? I am like you, I had really bad acne and makeup just exacerbated the flakiness that my acne produced. Once I got a better skincare routine and my skin started improving, I found I barely needed any makeup at all, so I looked into some k-beauty foundation and found amazing soft dewy results. The only issue is that the range of shades is pretty limited, so if you're decently tanned or darker they wouldn't work.

Two that I have and really like are the MISSHA Perfect Cover BB Cream and the MISSHA Magic Cushion. I purchased both of these on amazon for like 10$ each, and they are amazingly soft and light, and make my skin look very smooth!
The bb cream is SUPER dewy, and I don't need any highlighter with it, because it could easily go disco-ball if you doubled up on that. I like the magic cushion a lot for the portability, you need such a small amount of it and the sponge it comes with actually is perfect for dabbing on a very small amount of color correction. On days I need heavier correction I can just wet my BB and dab it in there, but generally the light sponge has been great for quick on the go. It also is more matte than the bb cream, but I like both for different reasons.

You might want to check out SKIN79's green label BB Cream. I also have combination skin with redness and I'm a big fan of this stuff. Lightweight, natural finish, and actually pale enough to match my skin tone. I usually can't stand the feeling of foundation but often forget I'm wearing anything on the days I apply this product. This review (and its comment section) prompted me to give it a try.

I super love it, and it's made a bug difference with the large pores on my forehead and nose.

u/K8eCastle · 4 pointsr/CFBOffTopic

If you're fairly new to makeup I'd look into a tinted moisturizer, face powder, a natural blush, and mascara for starters. You definitely don't want to start off too strong, especially if you don't typically wear makeup.

  • Tinted moisturizer is great because it isn't heavy and is pretty easy to match to your skin tone since it isn't very opaque. It gives your skin a little color without appearing caked on. This can be applied with a sponge or even with your fingers if you prefer. I like this one a lot!

  • Face powder is great if you have oily skin. You can get translucent powder or one that has color in it. It's best to apply with a large, fluffy brush but sometimes they will come with a pouf that works as well. This is a great loose powder.

  • Blush will give your face a little color. It's hard to recommend a shade since I don't know your skin tone, but Maybelline makes really nice blushes that are pigmented, but not so much that you will look like a clown with just a touch.

  • Mascara will make your eyes look more open and awake without overpowering them. You can even get brown for a more natural look! This one is my current favorite!
u/R4W13Y · 4 pointsr/sugarfreemua
  1. Concealer or BB cream
  2. Brows
  3. Mascara
  4. My Lips But Better
  5. Blush
  6. Powder

    If I HAD to choose only 3 products: Concealer or BB cream, brows, powder.

    A 6 product face would add color (blush, MLBB) and thickened/longer lashes (mascara).

u/Rainbow_Plague · 4 pointsr/feminineboys

My advice: go ham at home, assuming you live in a safe space and slooooowly ease into it outside. One piece of clothing at a time. A tiny bit more makeup than last time. You get the picture. It's very easy to get a look you're not intending to have by "overshooting" to the fem side immediately.

As for makeup, try starting with a BB cream and some super subtle blush.

I love how Milani Luminoso works for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00518N2JC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_e9YNDb17BYT43

u/1877cherns4cherns · 4 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Yes! I got so excited when I saw this! You look great. The lip color and the brows are perfect. My only CC is to take this look one step further and use a highlighter on your cheekbones (or a more highlighting blush) and nose to capitalize on your beautiful skin and bone structure.

u/PeachThunder · 4 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Thanks! It took the most self-restraint to not scratch my nose with this on. XD I didn't really try to make it last/not smear because it was late at night, otherwise I would have used a setting spray. I hear Ben Nye has a really great setting spray. I know Ben Nye for special effects makeup, so I would expect that it'd work well for facepaint. Though I already have UD All Nighter so I really should have tried that. It probably would be the same. :)

I'm super pale, so my favorite contouring products are the Hourglass Ambient Light Palette and Taupe blush by NYX.

The brushes I use are Sigma F84 Contour Kabuki for the contour, [Sigma F82 Round Kabuki brush] (http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-F82-Round-Kabuki-TM/dp/B0045W22SW/ref=sr_1_15?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1412465163&sr=1-15&keywords=sigma+brush), and a crappy liquid foundation brush like this one only WAY crappier for the lighlighting.I'm definitely looking to replace that old crappy brush...lol.

Here are a couple of video tutorials that I found to be really helpful:

It's on the NYX site! It's listed as part of their line of powder blushes, maybe that's why you didn't see it before. Here's a link. It's also here on Cherry Culture, and Amazon has it through third-party sellers here.

u/sympathyboner · 3 pointsr/MakeUpAddictionUK

If you're pale and cool toned, NYX blush in taupe is great (except that it builds up a coating quite quickly so I keep having to scrape off the top layer!). Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's one of the products Boots are stocking, but you can get it on Amazon.

I have heard good things about Sleek's contour kits too, but the only ones I've seen in store to swatch looked a bit too warm for me.

u/daisyismydog · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I'm not sure what you mean by missed out on NYX taupe blush. It's still available on Amazon for a relatively good price: here

I also called NYX last week to see when it would be back in stock and they said late November. :)

u/cleverpseudoname · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Avoid most American BB creams other than the high end, because they keep saying BB cream but I don't think it means what they think it means, if you catch my drift. Korean and Japanese BB creams are really the way to go, though if you really want something now instead of waiting, there is Dr Jart at Sephora that is a Korean brand and pretty nice.

Since you are the one on the left, pale and pink, it's not your fault the lightest shade didn't work for you, that's that particular BB creams fault, and it's one of my biggest pet peeves with those drugstore BBs. Garnier was even worse than the Loreal in this department (can you say ORANGE?!)

N02 is the lightest option for the Bright Fit BB I sent you the link to, but there are other great BB options out there. I oftentimes recommend Missha Perfect Cover in #13 for my pale pink friends as it is neutral (not orange!!) and very flexible moist formula. It has medium to high coverage and is pretty much a jack of all trades BB cream; you can also find sample sizes of it on ebay, too.

Try Missha's #13. I mix #21 and #13 when I'm slightly more pink in the summer, otherwise just #13 alone is great. The formula is easy to mix, as well as incredibly forgiving to smearing it on your face like a savage when you're in a rush (like me) or using a beauty blender to build coverage (also me).

I used it as a sunscreen stand-in on a vacation once and never went back. There's a great pearly Missha primer too.

Love your hair!
I'm older too, and have a fistful of concealers for my genetic dark circles. One thing that worked for me (where nothing else ever had) was Onomie: I bought the $4 sample, and thought it was another not so great concealer. I used it up because I was too cheap to throw it out. But then I noticed my eyes looking ... better.
So, I use Onomie and then NYX yellow color corrector, or this product I found on /r/asianbeauty. Tarte, Shishedo, Amazing Concealer, Benefit, all settle into the wrinkles. Definitely agree that a very light dust of powder helps.

u/mascarafatale · 3 pointsr/beauty

I've been a professional makeup artist for over a decade and have worked with many male celebrities. When it comes to simple male grooming, I follow these steps:

First of all, yes to moisturizer. Yes, yes, yes. That alone will give life to and even out your skin. It will make every product you put on afterwards apply more evenly. Put it on directly out of the shower and let it sink into your skin while you get dressed. I prefer Clinique Dramatically Different or Cetaphil. Both are unscented and don't leave a residue. They absorb quite well.
http://m.sephora.com/product/P122900

For dark circles, make sure you are using a liquid concealer under your eyes, as opposed to a cream. Liquid is much more appropriate for under eye skin texture as its less cakey and less likely to form creases in fine lines. My favorite under eye concealer is MAKE UP FOR EVER's Lift Concealer. Easy to find online. A tube will last you a long time. It is the best under eye concealer I've found on the market, and I've tried many. http://m.sephora.com/product/P12661
Make sure you are aren't going with a color that is too light, as that will look obvious. Against popular opinion, do not use a shade lighter under your eyes. The key is to use a peachy shade. This will counteract the blue tone present in dark circles. It will cover much more effectively than a lighter shade. It will also look more natural. You can alternatively buy an ORANGE correcting concealer to mix with your current concealer. It should drastically enhance whatever coverage you are currently getting. http://www.amazon.com/NYX-Cosmetics-Concealer-Orange-0-25/dp/B004QQ1170

For enlarged pores, I suggest a pore refining primer. I love Dr. Brandt's Pores No More. Put it on at the very end of your routine. It will erase any visible pores. It's my favorite last step.

Also, make sure your eyebrows are tidy. Not overly groomed, but I always use a clear eyebrow gel to keep them in place.

Lip balm or chapstick is also great for a finishing touch.

I mix it with my liquid foundation through, so if you're looking for something a little more pigmented that would blend better with a mousse, it looks like the Life's Entropy Foundation Elixir in white would do the trick. (Disclaimer: I haven't tried it yet):

I love the manic panic one! People don't think much of manic panic when it comes to makeup but I found out about it from some pale girl blog and a lot of pale girls swear by it. It allows us to buy the correct undertone and then just lightening it instead of having to wear something yellow to get the Right shade or pink etc. it also make expensive makeup last longer and doesn't really mess with the formula at all. I just mix a little on the back of my hand or on a glass ashtray I bought as a mixing palette. here's the best link to it

(Part 2/2)

​

Face:

Foundation - Nars, Giorgio Armani, L'Oreal, and Elf cosmetics (Elf is one of the cheapest and best drugstore foundation out there!) have really good ones!!! ...If you want something that makes you glow, get a sheer coverage foundation ...apply primer under and then some liquid highlight before applying the foundation - trust me, you will glow!!!

Concealer - Nars is the best or you can even try another drugstore holy grail that is cheaper by Maybelline to hide scars, breakouts or dark circles.

Blush - Milani has some really good blushes! So does Sephora brand or Makeup Forever.

Highlighter - this will definitely make you glow whenever the light touches your face!!!! Hahah, MAC and Anastasia Beverley Hills has amazing highlights. Wet N Wild also has very cheap highlights for like $3-5 that are blindingly glowing if you spray some MAC fix plus on your brush and then go in with the highlighter!

Makeup tools:

Really good to have some starter ones to practice with and they make your makeup look better + you waste less makeup.

Elf cosmetics and Real Techniques has some amazing starter brushes... the eyeshadow brush set and the face brush set by Real Techniques is really good for the low price you make for it!

Perfume: Definitely go to Sephora and try out every one of them (sometimes Amazon has sales on luxury perfumes for less!).

Fashion: ASOS, Forever 21, Mango & Target has some really cute pieces of clothing. Check Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration!!! :)

Other: Get the men's Gillette razor has the other person mentioned!!! It is bomb! Haha... I use conditioner or coconut oil down there when I shave.... it's better than shaving cream and it prevents the itching and stuff! lol For legs, I use Nair Hair Remover Lotion (Amazon usually sells 3 a pack for like $15 - really cheap!!!) or Gilette shaving cream for women! Also, don't do this always ...it can damage your teeth, but once in awhile, it won't hurt your teeth... take baking soda and water, make a paste and brush your teeth with it... your teeth will have that instant whitening effect. Don't do this always, but you can definitely do this when you do to those fancy occasions and you gotta make your teeth look sparkling white! lol, works like a charm! :)

Hope that helps!

u/tiffany_riehm · 3 pointsr/PCOS

I use holika holika BB cream. The one that's called "clearing", in a blue container. It's great at oil blotting and doesn't give me pimples. Only thing I'll ever use. You can get it on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Holika-Clearing-Petit-Cream-Ounce/dp/B0059NL39U

But, just one problem; it only comes in one fair skin shade, because it's from Korea.

u/PHvideos · 3 pointsr/adventuretime

For makeup, I'd reccomend Final Seal.

Its used for stage makeup, it isn't super shiney, and a good solid coat will keep you're awesome make-up job on for most of the day (If you're going all day, wash off and re-apply everything after lunch.)

Really nice costume, good job on the dress!

u/BrookeStardust · 3 pointsr/homestuck

This is probably the greatest advice!
I think one of the bigger complaints I've seen at anime cons about Homestuck cosplayers has to do with grey paint getting everywhere. :( Which is an easy thing to avoid (and makes your hotel staff a lot happier when they have to room clean later on!)

Ben Nye makes a pretty good product called Final Seal that works quite well after a translucent powder has been applied. After the fact, you'll probably want to invest in a pack of makeup removing wipes- I've used these to great success, but I am pretty sure any disposable remover will work just fine.

Have fun. :)

u/sixdollardress · 3 pointsr/psychotherapy

I cover them as much as I can, although some aren’t possible to cover long-term - I live in a sub-tropical climate where sleeves and summer don’t mix, and my skin is so pale that I can’t put concealer on them without it being obvious. I always cover them for interviews. I have thought about getting a tattoo sleeve or something to hide them, but I have a feeling big tattoos would have an even more negative effect than just letting the scars show. I have never had anyone say anything, but I have often wondered how it affects people’s perception of me.

If you aren’t as pale as me (I am vampire pale), check out a foundation called Dermacol. You have to make sure you buy it from a reliable website (I linked one below), as there’s a lot of fakes on the market, but the genuine dermacol is amazing and can cover all kinds of marks/scars/tattoos/etc. Applying it to your scars each morning could be a good way of covering them up without having to wear excessive clothing. It’s waterproof, but if you try it and find it’s transferring, there’s another product called Ben Nye final seal which you spray on to make it stick.

I just bought the Aritaum Pore Master Primer ($12 on Amazon) and it seems to be a good dupe for the Pore Fessional.

u/opheliae · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Skin79 Super Plus BB Cream Green (in the green packaging) is a famous korean BB cream that is also very, very light and neutral. This is really comparable to Missha BB creams in 13 'milky beige' as far as the shade shade but would be less dewy and more long wearing.

u/redditcd31 · 3 pointsr/crossdressing

You can get a setting-spray and spray that on. It helps keep everything in place and from running.

u/viivalo · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

My favorite brand for facepainting is TAG Body Paints, you can get the individual pots of color and they have some beautiful blues.

Since it is water activated, it will start coming off if you begin to sweat. I use a sealant instead of water to activate the paint (it's my tried and true method). [Ben Nye Final Seal] (https://www.amazon.ca/Final-Seal-Matte-Makeup-Sealer/dp/B005MZ4A7C) is my go to. It's a little bit pricey but it's definitely worth it to make everything fade proof. Then I set everything with a translucent powder.

To remove, baby oil is where its at.

u/UnicornAgression · 3 pointsr/asktransgender

Sure, I’ll start with makeup I guess? Without knowing your budget I recommend getting a naked2 palette by urban decay. The shadows blend really nicely and you can get a ton of looks from one palette. Also on YouTube you can search for the specific palette and find tons of step by step tutorials that will use exactly what you have. The key to good makeup is practice.

https://m.sephora.com/product/naked2-P302916?icid2=products%20grid:p302916:product

The palette is $54 and it’s going to be about the same price at Sephora or ulta. If you find it for sale online super cheap it’s going to be fake, even if it’s on amazon or something. And fake eyeshadows don’t blend and don’t show up nice on the skin. It’s not worth it. I recommend buying it online at Sephora. You’ll get to pick free samples at checkout.

So I started off pricey but the rest doesn’t need to be. A great budget brand for lipstick, blush, and eyeliner is Nyx. You can get Nyx at Ulta, and some drug and grocery stores. It’s on amazon too. Their lipsticks are typically under $5, and eyeliners under $10. Most of the stuff they make is pretty good so just give it a shot it if catches your eye.

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP That's The Point Eyeliner, Hella Fine, 0.02 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075SKT85Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fUthDb38VKQTN

I think this is the eyeliner I used? It’s been a few years now. I preferred a fine tip, felt tip, for easier control. Really you have to try some eyeliners and see what’s easiest for you. Liquid eyeliners come in felt tip (like a marker) or brush tip.

Pencil liners are also a thing. My favorite pencil liner was the Sephora brand. I’d get the travel size because I feel like it’s easier to hold a small pencil. I can’t find it online but they would usually have them at the checkout counter. Pencil eyeliners are really hit or miss. Some brands tug at your skin when you try to put them on and don’t really do a good job.

Primer helps your makeup stay and give you a nice finish. Smashbox was my favorite brand but they are pricier. Available at Sephora or ulta. For budget version, Nyx again.

NYX Studio Perfect Primer, Clear, 1.0 oz/30ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RC4S3M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_13thDbHZYN7NR

Eyeshadow primer is a separate product. Best brands are urban decay or Too Faced. Nyx also has a budget option.

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Proof It! Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer, 0.23 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M3GYN1G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_I5thDb2N3D00E

Setting spray for after your makeup is finished. Go for matte finish.

u/young_and_baroque · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

YNMV on NYX. People love it, but I use it to wet my brush.

Ben Nye comes in a bunch of different sizes (that get SUPER cheap as the size goes up) but you’ll need your own spritzer bottle for the larger sizes. It also has a scent, so if you are sensitive to that beware. But my friend works at Disney Land and he uses Ben Nye to set his makeup, so if it works for a Disney Prince in the summer I’d say it’s good enough for me.

I've been looking for SPF spray that can go over my makeup but there aren't many products on the market in the US and the ones that are available are really expensive. I've bought the supergoop and coola SPF makeup setting sprays but returned the coola and intend to return the supergoop because it's smells really bad and kind of burns your eyes.

I used the Privacy face powder and Privacy face mist everyday while in Japan. It was really sunny everyday and I didn't get burned. I reapplied the mist and powder threw out the day and it didn't cake up. They both won awards on Cosme, which is a Japanese makeup site that reviews and ranks products. The mist isn't matte like the supergoop but if you use the spray then powder if you want it to be matte. I ended up buying a lot of backups of both because I liked so much. I haven't tried the spray with the pink cap yet, but it also had really high reviews on Cosme. I would also suggest the Biore UV water rich (Also won cosme awards).

u/smartlypretty · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

I use an inexpensive primer I found on Amazon that I like better than Smashbox called Emori, not sure if it's AB or not.

My current routine (this is one week after I got the giant Tarte box with everything) is typically Skinfood Salmon concealer (my favorite concealer so far, creamier but stays, ousted Boiing), Aqua Petit Jelly BB in the lighter version- usually I use my fingers or one of those toothbrush brushes), Peripera or Etude tints as I mentioned with my ulta tinted balm, the TonyMoly powder which as I said blew me away, I have eyelash extensions so nothing there, and I have a cushion blush in a tube that I like a lot but I just got the other powder blush I mentioned. I also have and like the Missha cushion, but I like Aqua Petit Jelly more.

Waiting on this because I love this brand, it's a cotton candy setting spray?

Sorry that wasn't more enlightening but it has links :) I was just surprised to be AS entranced by AB makeup as I am by AB skincare because I was a MUA for a long time and have always been a product junkie and now I use my stupid expensive stuff on days I'm not going anywhere :O

ETA: I really have to check into eyeshadows now. I've kind of hit a wall because my whole face is handled, and I do want one of those TonyMoly bunny glosses!

I live in Florida with oily, acne-prone skin. I use mostly AB, but there are some western products that I haven't been able to find better replacements for. Here's my oil-conscious morning routine:

  • Cleanse with sulfur soap. I'm currently testing this out on my acne and recently switched from Cosrx's Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser.

  • Tone with Cosrx Natural Bha Skin Returning A-sol.

  • Reduce excess sebum with Cosrx Bha Blackhead Power Liquid 2-3 times per week. I find that this helps keep my pores clean and reduces oil production.

  • (After waiting 20 minutes) Protect with Biore UV Aqua Rich sunscreen.

  • Moisturize and prime with Nivea Men Sensitive Skin After Shave Balm, which is seriously the best makeup primer I have ever used. Possibly also the cheapest. Feels like nothing on my face, yet allows makeup to stay on all day. Definitely one of my HGs.

  • Color correct with Missha Magic Cushion. It's lightweight, provides good coverage, stays on and doesn't get cakey.

  • And, if I know that I'm going to be outside or busy all day, I'll spray on Skindinavia's Makeup Finishing Spray, which works better than powder and doesn't dry out my skin.

I just got this Missha one today! It was too cheap to not get. I've never used MAC, but I would guess I'm around NW15? W=cool, right? I'm pink as hell (something I'm trying to fix with AB, haha). Anyway, I like it so far. I got shade 21, and I think it's light enough, though a little more neutral or yellow than I am, but it kind of cancels some of the pink.

This stuff is absolute magic to keep makeup in place. It definitely lasts through a very sweaty workout. Or a night of clubbing. You might find it cheaper elsewhere. Comes off easily with coconut oil too. =D

u/bluetherealdusk · 2 pointsr/Wishlist

Oh yeah, at least personally Aloe Vera does wonders. We had some plants here but sadly they didn't fit anymore (my mother is a plant hobbyist, if we had a garden she'd be even happier).

For big pores I guess you put on make up? As I said I've never been into make up (I like to watch tutorials though). Do you use a primer? The one I see recommended on the channel I watch is this Aritaum primer.

I actually wanted to bleach my hair but my mother tells me that it reallydamages the hair. I don't know if it would be worth it, to be honest.. Besides, my hair is kinda darkish brown so it would probably be hard to do.

Most of the Luffy cosplayers I know use Sharpie. Unfortunately, that rubs off still.

You could try using Ben Nye if you won't have people touching you throughout the day or if you'll be changing costumes the next/later that day.. or if you don't mind doing something a little longer lasting (like..several days.. I've used this for my Hancock and Erza tattoos:)

http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/abtatpaint.aspx This stuff is awesome. You don't need too much of it at a time, it stays on for hours on end, and dries like liquid latex. Tends to take several days to scrub off. It's also great fun for messing around with for shiz and giggles. Well worth the price.
As with everything mentioned here, please make sure you use a sealant...be it actual makeup sealer ( http://www.amazon.com/Final-Seal-Matte-Makeup-Sealer/dp/B005MZ4A7C ) or simple hairspray (Aquanet is great). That way, it stays in place, won't get on you, anyone else, or on anyone else's property, which could hold you liable for cleaning damages! I know Luffy's scar is huge, so you should be able to get away with not too much if you're using it over the course of a con. Hope this helps!

u/candycanecupcakes · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I have two "Highest Priority" items. They seem to be two completely different things- but they are connected. You see, this is to keep my fake-face on.

As a female who wears makeup there is nothing more irritating than when you're doing whatever, you know, looking good.. and suddenly you look at your reflection in a window or something and you're like DAMN WHO LET MY REAL FACE OUT? And you gotta fix that! All that work you spent artfully painting on how your face looks to the public and within hours it's all faded and your eyeliner is halfway down your eyelids. In order to be able to fix it on-the-spot you're suddenly carrying around your whole makeup bag for touch-ups at dinner and when the occasional photographer walks by. Imagine you're out on a date with some hottie and you're like "hey sorry I have to go powder my nose", then you pick up your 3 gallon purse with every brush and gloss known to mankind (all only half-full, of course) and drag it off to the bathroom!

This is just safety standard to cool down after you look so hot for so long. (It can also be used as a blunt weapon to beat the hundreds of people you attract off of you)

^(Also, I am not confident in my baking/cooking abilities)

Absolutely. I would look these items up on Makeup Alley, or see if Tati on youtube has reviewed them to see if they are something you would be interested in...
Coty Airspun– I think you should ask for the unscented powder since the scented one sounds overwhelming.
Catrice Cosmetics – Now this has some cult following, and it looks like Shoppers Drug Mart is starting to ship this, so the brand may be available in Canada soon! Again, check out Tati, she mentions a few.

Sonia Kashuk Brushes and Make Up – A brand that’s usually found at Target, her brushes are pretty well loved and bargain priced! I recall Target had a few other hard to find brands but I can’t think of any specifically.
Expensive brands like Hourglass and Charlotte Tilbury and Kat Von D are kinda available in Canada, but not the full line. Tarte Shape Tape (exclusively at Ulta) is a must have! Morphe is also at Ulta, another dream of mine.
Try this link too - http://www.mtv.co.uk/beauty/news/cult-us-beauty-products-not-sold-in-uk
Off topic, but I find the selection of Nike shoes and cool colours of sneakers limited in Edmonton. It’s hard with shoe size, but some of my best gifts have been these unique pieces.
Got a sweet tooth? This looks like heaven in a dessert!
I am sorry I can’t be more specific about products since it depends on skin type, complexion etc. But I hope this may help a bit, or at least you’ll learn a thing or two :D

u/howbadcanIbe · 2 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

hello, hello! And welcome, welcome!! (I swear I don't always speak doubly like that haha)
I am agreeing with ilessthanthreepugs when I say it really is the nicest sr I have found. Almost too nice for me probably lol
But I hope you love it as much as we do.
As someone who doesn't have a lot of product yet, I will recommend a bb cream. Since you're starting out, I will give you my first bb cream because though it's not an Asian one which I have now learned I absolutely LOVE, I do love this drugstore one too.
If you do have money to spend, I would recommend this one

BB creams are perfect for beginners, with a great mascara and cream blush.

The cream blushes I use are by L'Oreal I think ? And definitely Urban Decay


My favorite mascaras right now (I am always searching for new ones haha) are

u/Quixle · 2 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

I can understand that, you don't want to be work inappropriate. If you want a very heavy coverage, Tarte Amazonian Clay is great, though on the pricy side. I rarely wear that though, since it's quite heavy (I usually cut it with some lotion). And it might be a bit of a splurge for a college budget anyway.
I really like Missha Perfect Cover BB, which is cheaper and more of a medium coverage. It makes my skin look nicer, but doesn't give that flat look that a really heavy foundation can bring. I hope one of those BBs works for you! Are they the Skin79 samples?
Blush is a hard line for me to walk, I have to look overly pink when I first apply it, or it seems invisible in an hour. I really like CoverGirl blushes, actually. NYX has some nice ones too.

I love gel eyeliner, I use it a lot. I have trouble with pencils smudging and liquid coming off where my eye waters.

I use eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow, black gel eyeliner (Maybelline Eye Studio), mascara (benefit Bad Gal Lash), eyebrow stuff (currently a brow pencil), and undereye concealer and blush. If I put a BB or foundation on, I will try to contour too.

Whoo, this is so long, sorry! I have entered a few competitions, but not for awhile (laziness). I actually won one, it's really fun to test your skills!

u/aquamarine271 · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

1. Cleanser -link - Remove dirt, really powerful. It has gotten rid of my blackheads, and I had a lot.

2. Exfoliator -link - Only whenever my skin can handle it. Will get rid of all of that flakey skin you have for a smooth finish. It'll make your skin 100% smooth without flakes after 1 use.

3. Essence -link - Skin treatment after exfoliator, replacement for toner. Repairs damaged skin as well and is good protection.

Finally, any Korean BB Cream that goes well with your skin tone. A good BB cream is protective tinted moisturizer to hide your imperfections. Asian BB Cream products are way superior than the American versions.

I would recommend this for you as good BB Creams if you're ever interested:

Choice One - Link - Whitening, Wrinkle Repair, Moisturizer, Tinted, Sunblock. This one is a bit stronger.

Choice Two - Link - Whitening, Wrinkle Repair, Moisturizer, Tinted, Sunblock. This one is more popular.

I'm nervous about trying MACs Studio Fix foundation in NW15 because I'm really super pale and am always scared to try out any foundation (especially one so pricey) because they almost always are too damn dark! I have pink undertones i think, or at least my face gets red very easily.
(i don't have a link to it, but it is on my wish list. amazon doesn't carry it, but I've linked it on there to the mac website lol)

another one is the bb cream Miisha in shade no 13

I've heard this is perfect for pale gals with pink undertones, but again super scared that it will come off too dark or something won't come out right. Sighhhhh

Other than those two, I've never tried out MAC lipstick before! Have always wanted to, but again with my pale coloring i never know what shade ranges i could pull off!

Seriously, everyone, do I really have to shell out that much cash to achieve these awesome results? I am all about paying the extra amount to have the super ultimate better thing that lasts and lasts, but I am hesitant to just throw that much money at something that I am not totally 100% sure is going to be better than the primer I am using for my whole face right now. Really, for real, is that Lorac stuff that much better?

And should I really give up this WalMart/drugstore bs and just go through Amazon or some of those lovely stores like Ulta and Sephora to get the super ultimate stuff you all are always praising? Is it really, truly that much better?

Sing me the song of your peoples, my loves, because I adore and envy all of your gorgeous faces and I sooooo desperately want to try to achieve the awesome results you all have.

If you're just starting out the biggest advice I can give you is go with ELF products. They're cheap, good products that won't break the bank if you decide all this make up stuff isn't for you.

When doing my face (i'll leave lips and eyeshadow out) here are the steps I take:
***

  1. Primer! Squeeze out a drop on your finger tip, then put a tiny bit on your forehead, chin, and each cheek and massage in. This will help your make up stay on, give it a nice even playing field and just makes it look so much better.

  2. Blemish Control. Now, you can use this pen if you want, a lot comes out at a time and can be a pain to cover up, I prefer this but you'll run out of the green first, but it's nice to have all the other colors for contouring. Put a bit of the green on any redness on your face, a little goes a long way! If you go with the contouring pallet, you can use the yellow to counteract any purple on your face (under your eyes) and you can use the purple to counteract any yellow on your face.

  3. Foundation! if you have a foundation you love, stick with it. I personally use Covergirl. And liquid or powder, it's totally up to you, I just work with liquid better. Now, how I do this is I put about a finger tip full on my forehead, chin, and each cheek. I use my hands to rub it in, UNLESS I have a lot of green on my face for blemishes, then I'll use a brush to rub it in. Go down your neck line a little, but not too much.

  4. Bronzer!. This will give you some dimension and added color to your face. I won't go over contouring, but if you're just doing every day make up, this great. I take a brush like this combine the four colors in the palette and go over my cheeks (below my cheek bones), run a little over my forehead and down my T-zone, and then I use the rest to go behind my ears and down my neck a little to create a blend.

  5. Blush! Now it's blush time! Get a bit on your brush, smile big and just do the apples of your cheeks while brushing a little towards your ears.

    And you're done!

    ***

    I would suggest looking at ELF's actualy website, as some of the prices on Amazon were really high, plus they always have great coupons!

I use aha cream for wrinkles and a good concealer makeup as well.

The concealer I use is a lot like erase paste by benefit but much cheaper.

I really love this Skinfood in Bloom Skinfood ($7) for a creamy concealer, and for a thicker one for sleepless days, I use the Pixi Correction Concentrate in peach Pixi ($12).

No problem :) Orange works well with your purple circles. Are you darker skinned? I bought mine on Amazon for $5

Manic panic white foundation! I bought mine on Amazon [try this! ](Manic Panic Virgin Dreamtone Gothic Foundation Vampire White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SUGXWC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5Vv7xb3CNP9EE) you could mix it with your current foundation to make it a lot paler or just go for the white foundation look to get a more original Harley look! Have fun!!

u/lilghost76 · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Manic Panic Dreamtone is a nice white mixer that is affordable. I get it from Amazon. Works great! Link

u/varmintofdarkness · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I've used this in the past to lighten drugstore foundation that was too dark for me, and once I tried it on myself straight-up. It's basically white-out for your face, and it didn't aggravate my acne, so maybe it will work for you?

http://www.amazon.com/Manic-Panic-Virgin-Dreamtone-Foundation/dp/B004SUGXWC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412785609&sr=8-1&keywords=manic+panic+dreamtone+white+foundation

u/yuzuuno · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Oh man! That is pretty pale. I'm on the "darker" end of "light" shades, so I don't know much about foundations for the very fair. But my friend who is very pale recommends mixing in a white foundation (she uses this one). Maybe try that? Sorry I can't help very much xD

u/kerrykins · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Also!! Whenever I use a higher coverage foundation that doesn't quite match, I mix the foundation with manic panic's white foundation. This makes pretty much any foundation workable :)

u/eatgeeksleeprepeat · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I've used Manic Panic's white foundation (here on Amazon for $9) to lighten a few different foundations and I really like it. It looks naturally lighter and mixes in well. I didn't notice a change to the consistency or finish.

u/angelwild327 · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

the second set is more expensive because it has far more brushes, and believe me, like artists brushes, makeup brushes can set you back a pretty penny, if you want to go all out.

I have a set of Real Techniques and I do like them a lot, so I'd go with them, especially if she's mentioned them, If you want to get a little crazy get here these two things to go along with the brushes, they're for cleaning purposes:

[Brush Cleaner] (http://www.amazon.com/Coastal-Scents-Makeup-Shampoo-Cleanser/dp/B00ED6FV5G/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1417813820&sr=8-16&keywords=makeup+brush+cleaner)

[brush guards - used to keep brushes in shape and for drying, after cleaning] (http://www.amazon.com/Easygoby-Makeup-Cosmetic-Netting-Protector/dp/B00BSPVDE8/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1417813923&sr=8-14&keywords=makeup+brush+cleaner)

ALSO, here are more items to add to the Real Techniques set

[stippling brush] (http://www.amazon.com/Real-Techniques-RLT-1408-Stippling-Brush/dp/B004TSFE6Y/ref=pd_sim_bt_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Y62RVEG9G08C9179CYC)

Don't get overwhelmed, lol

u/arieltron · 2 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

My input:
I think a undereye concealer/highlighter combo could really open up and brighten you eyes. I use an ELF one that works well and is super inexpensive.

Use highlighter on your brow bones and inner corners of eyes and undereye concealer under eye before applying mascara. To blend concealer, stipple the edges but don't over blend because you want a lot of the pigment from the concealer to remain on top of your undereye circle.

The other thing I would suggest is not a traditional makeup item, but it's cheap. Get sleep,lots and lots of sleep, and drink tons of water. It will help give you a bridal glow.


Edit: also beg your mom or someone else close for an early wedding gift. Have them treat you to a facial and brow mapping. You'll look so polished for your big day!

To help with the glow, I looked up an orgasm dupe and I found this never tried it but it looks gorgeous!

For me this community has been a never ending inspiration! From pushing my boundaries and skills. To making me feel cared for and comfortable in my own skin!


Best advice: don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect!

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials KP! Good luck with your no buy!

u/PavementBlues · 2 pointsr/asktransgender

Hey there girl! I don't see any makeup answers yet in the comments, so I'll tackle that question.

Makeup Starter Kit


  1. My coming out process ended up moving much more rapidly than I expected and I was out to most all of my friends and some of my family within a couple of months of accepting that I was trans. Once I stopped being ashamed of it, it all just started to flow. The only serious coming out conversation I have left is with my dad, which I'm intentionally delaying because he's going through a lot right now and it will almost certainly result in our estrangement.

  2. My therapist and my friends, absolutely without a doubt. Supportive friends make a huge difference. They let you see what life can be like, which gives you the hope you need to keep going.

  3. I'm not sure what island you're on, but I did some searching and found the Rainbow Family 808, who in turn had the Lavender Clinic listed as a resource. They're based out of Honolulu, but if that doesn't work for you, I'd call the Rainbow Family directly and explain that you're trying to look for a gender therapist and wanted to know if they had any recommendations near where you live.

    Good luck! Feel free to comment or PM me if you have any questions.
u/rawwwrcaitmonster · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Not drugstore, but on a drugstore budget: I love Holika Holika's Essential Petit BB cream (That's the one in the orange tube). This is a Korean BB cream, which I like a lot better than any drugstore brand, and find that it actually helps my skin. I apply it with a foundation brush and then make it more matte with a blending sponge, and I find a slightly-larger-than-pea-sized amount is great coverage for me. It also builds nicely if you have an area that needs more coverage. The Essential version is pretty pale, which I like in the winter, and then I usually switch to the Pore Clearing (blue tube) in the summer; I find it matches my skin when I have a tan. Hope it helps!

u/FastFly67 · 2 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

This is Lady

She's a leopard angelfish that I got as a 'Thank you' for sending some plants that needed thinning out to a friend. Got a tracking number out of the blue and then this beauty showed up on my door step. My friend's wife and I had been discussing angels and I showed her an auction I had been lusting after but was WAY out of my price range. She failed to mention that she had a breeding pair. This is one of the babies. Lady is a massive attention whore, will always come to whatever side of the tank you're on and pose for you. Out of all my fish (and I have about 7 tanks with fish in them now) she's my absolute favorite.

I've been dying to try this

u/Toribaybay · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

HEY! I wear a fuck ton of makeup, but I boycotted coverup because it started breaking me out. I use this and it is AWESOME! I have oily/ dry skin usually in some places and it is incredible at covering up both those things. And i usually just set it with a small bit of powder so it stays in place

u/thisisthais · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

And it's on sale at Amazon!

u/RadioPixie · 2 pointsr/AskWomen
  1. I'm obsessed with Geek Chic Cosmetics eyeshadows. I love the intensity of the colors, and it's really easy for me to apply with a wet brush so they can double as eyeliner.

  2. Been wearing lipsticks more lately, as they're faster for me to go from out of bed to having a "look" for the day. For "normal" colors like red and pink, I like the texture of Revlon Ultimate Suede. Lately, though, I've been wearing weird indie colors like this teal lipstick.

  3. Sun protection is important, but my face is red and needs coverage! BB cream comes to my rescue and does both.

  4. I have the oiliest eyelids on the planet, so in order to use my beloved eyeshadows, I need a primer.

  5. Sounds ridiculous, but this little green concealer stick by Maybelline is great for covering my red spots.
u/SpillingTea · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Have you tried not using the BB cream? I used this one for a bit, but slowly it started breaking me out in cysts. No fun. D:

u/911pleasehold · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I live in Houston... I think the best thing for the summer here is Ben Nye's final seal setting spray link. It has made a world of difference for me. That shit is practically waterproof.

I would try the same makeup you use now plus this spray over it

u/magneticbetty · 2 pointsr/GirlGamers

Seconding Ben Nye Final Seal! I cosplay a lot and trust nothing else to keep my makeup flawless all day. I also have the issue with my glasses rubbing off my makeup on my nose and have used it when I am going to be in meetings all day w/o a chance to go check/repowder my nose.

u/nikkithebee · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Highly recommend Ben Nye Final Seal. It's actually made for setting stage makeup where the actors are heavily makeup'd and under very bright lights. I swear by the stuff!

Fair warning: it's heckin minty. Like, make you wince peppermint in your eyes fresh to death. So do your mascara AFTER you set everything else.

u/Destinyx3 · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

I go back and forth between using a primer and not, but I always use setting powder.

For reference, my skin type is Dehydrated/Combo leaning a little more towards oily. I use Skin79 Green BB Creme, Nivea After Shave Balm For Men (Non-AB) as a Primer, and Coty Air Spun Original (Non-AB) as a setting powder.

I have a desk job where I don't do much and generally wear lighter makeup, so usually I'll skip my primer. However, if I'm going out or planning to wear heavy makeup, I always do a primer, setting spray, and setting spray (just in case because of how oily my skin can get).

I'm planning on ditching my primer eventually and looking into Innisfree No Sebum Powder as my setting powder because of how highly recommended it is for oily people! I'll be eyeing this thread for primer recommendations :)

I suggest at least getting a setting powder and seeing if that does the trick. If not, try finding a primer that works for your skin and see if that help. If that doesn't work, add a setting spray and hopefully that should do the trick!

u/terra_bull_ · 1 pointr/Drag

Hey! I was totally in this situation 6 months ago. Figuring out technique is a sort of "figure it out as you go" situation and tons of videos on youtube can help you figure it out. What I can help you with is your purchases. Figuring out what you'll need is extremely overwhelming, so here's a dirty rundown of what I've gathered so far:

  1. Starting off can be pricey, so I highly recommend starting off buying cheaper make-up until you figure out your vibe. You really don't need the expensive stuff to look good, and make-up in stores like Sephora and Ulta are EXTREMELY expensive relative to how much you will be using vs. their price. That being said, amazon is your girl. Mehron has extremely cheap foundations on Amazon and they last forever (at least they did for me) - attached is my main shade, but you can look through the color options they have to guess your base/contour/highlight. I've only gone through one entire stick of my base foundation (which I use the most) since i've bought my base make up. I HIGHLY recommend in investing in beauty blenders and not brushes when it comes to foundation because i've found that beauty blenders make looks come out a lot more polished. (Not to say that good looks can't come out of brushes, I've just found blenders to be a lot easier to work with.
  2. Once you have painted your foundation in a way you're happy with, use light layers of setting powder to set it down. Remember that although the more powder you use will have it last longer, the more cakey you'll come out. Also keep in mind that the powder will soften colors, so don't expect the foundation to be as intense as it was before you put the powder on.
  3. Colored eyeshadow can be really tough when you don't know what colors work for you. This is the palette I highly recommend getting based on it's color variety and price. Mind you, some of the colors came in cracked, but if you press them down without mixing them into the other pots, they are deff still usable. Remember that you'll need a lot of brushes if you want to experiment with different shades. Elf brushes found at any general store (Target for example) typically go for a dollar each, so stock up on those so you have room for experimentation. I'd recommend around 10 or so just to be able to play around.
  4. EYELINER. I personally love a sharp thick liner, so I primarily get some cheap liquid liner and cover it with black eyeshadow to make it POP. (This can also be applied to any part of painting - If you want it to really POP (I cannot stress this enough) start with a liquid or cream material and cover it with it's powdered equivalent. Any cheap elf liquid liner will do. If you're not really focused on a sharp liner, go for pencil because it's generally easier to apply.
  5. Eyebrows - Not sure what your eyebrows are like, but trust me when I say that they're one of the biggest inconveniences when it come to painting your face. If your brows are thick, I highly suggest investing in a multipack of glue sticks. Gluing techniques vary among queens, but I tend to apply a heavy layer of glue, smooth out as much as I possibly can as fast as I can before the glue gets tacky and dry with a hairdryer. After the glue is almost dry, I apply a light layer of setting powder (DO NOT GO OVERBOARD, because your brows WILL come out crunchy). After this initial layer, continue layers of glue and LIGHT powder until they're fully blocked. Be sure that they're completely dry before you continue on to the next layer or else the tackiness will cause them to break (and you'll have to start all over). Honestly I'd say shave them off if you have the ability to do so and don't mind what you look like browless as boy.
  6. CLEAN UP. Cleaning up is one of the things I dread most about drag. You'll need some stuff to clean both your face and materials. When it comes to removing make up, wet wipes feel nice, but are (again) pricey. If you're on a budget, cotton rounds and micellar water should do the trick just fine. When it comes to your materials (blenders and brushes) I don't care what anyone says. Dish soap and hot water will ALWAYS remove makeup quickly. Don't use any specialized brush cleansers until you feel comfortable enough to invest in quality brushes.

    ​

    Again, you don't need EVERYTHING listed above, but for my personal complete look, I require everything I mentioned. Starting off, I blew about around 300 dollars, so save money when you can. When queens joke about how they spent a lot of money to look "this" cheap, they really aren't lying. ALSO, don't be discouraged if you don't have the coin. There are tons of other resources available out there and if possible, you can always slowly acquire items over time.

    ​

    Good luck! ✨

I have quite oily skin and I love to use the toofaced peach primer along with the matching foundation or toofaced born this way . I then either coat my whole face with coty airspun which I don’t normally do unless I’m out for a whole day because I hate the mess it makes or the essence all about matte powder.. Lastly I’ll spritz with any setting spray to lock it all in.

u/insanityFTW · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

Usually drugstores carry it- my local Walgreens and CVS do. I've seen it at target, too. If you still cant find it, I'd say that here would be your best bet. :)

u/Urethra_Xtreem · 1 pointr/muacjdiscussion

If your skin tone is on the lighter side then Asian BB creams are your friend. They come in a limited color selection and mostly in light shades but they are totally awesome!

My HG is the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream. It’s hella cheap but great coverage and glowy. I do set with powder to make it last though.

I used to use the Skin79 Beblesh Balm but it’s a little grey tinged. But I got compliments on my skin most times I wore this. Very moisturizing and you get a lot of bang for your buck. Took me forever to go through it.

IT Cosmetics CC cream has a better shade selection (not huge but better than Asian BBs) but it’s going to cost more. Same with Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. Both formulas are very silky and easy to blend. The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer comes in an oil free version as well.

This video is where I first learned to contour. Also, all of her videos are brilliant. On the recommendation of a few folks in here, I bought NYX blush in Taupe for contouring. It works pretty well. Very matte, nicely pigmented...might be a little brown for my skintone, so I just use a very light hand. And you can't beat the $6 price tag. I also use matte bronzer sometimes too. (I have "warmth" from bareMinerals. If you can get a sample somewhere, get it. It might be the best bronzer ever)

u/bon-aventure · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

I liked eucerin's spf 30 everyday protection, but ultimately didn't think it was enough spf.

I used shiseido pretty religiously for a while, it's a dream under makeup.

This Ocean Potion Sunblock was given to me and I saved it for when I needed an all over sunblock, but ended up using it on my face in a pinch and surprisingly it works beautifully and is under $10. It hasn't caused any breakouts and claims to have vitamin a, c and e. I think I'm going to stick with it for a while.

For foundation, I like Missha bb cream and Skin79 Orange Label, but the Asian bb creams are tricky for people with anything but fair skin.

I also really love Bare Minerals and I go back and forth between the two depending on my skin texture (more dry and flaky-bb cream, more oily but clear overall-Bare Minerals)

u/Aiota · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

Sorry, kind of a long winded post based off of inexperience.

Skin Type: I believe I have dry skin, the only issues I have with my skin is flakey patches every once in a while, especially on my forehead and in between my eyebrows. I've also noticed under my eyebrow hairs! Ew! I've never had a problem with oil. Never MAC matched, my current foundation is Naked Skin 1.0 and it's way too dark.

Country/Climate I'm in: Illinois- weather changes all the time. Recently it has been very cool here.

Top Skin Concern: Dry skin. I consistantly have hormonal acne breakouts on my chin which are usually deep and don't have a head. I have a tendency to pick which I know is bad! :( I am currently on birthcontrol. I have redness on the sides of my nose. I also have dark circles under my eyes. The darkness may be caused my having thin skin under my eyes. I can literally see a blood vessel running under my eye!

Current Routine/Products I'm Using:
AM
Cerave knock off moisturizer in the tub

PM
yes to blueberries age refresh smoothing daily cleanser
Cerave knock off moisturizer in the tub
Yes to blueberries age refresh softening facial exfoiliator about once a week
yes to tomatoes clay mask when i remember (once very few weeks usually)

Occassionally I wear a face mask. They're usually cheapies from an asian grocery store. :)

I specifically am interested in incorporating a few more impactful products into my routine. I am almost done with my Cerave knock off moisturizer!
I lurked around and think I am going to get this sunscreen (Biore SARASARA UV Perfect Bright Milk SPF50 + pink bottle). I think I'd like to add 1 or 2 more products and see what I think.
Perhaps this eye cream for my dark under eye circles?

And perhaps this to replace my moisturizer.
I picked these out based off of HG posts, let me know what you guys think! I am interested in masks as well but the prices of the ones I've seen that are recommended kind of scare me off! :(

I have been looking at BB creams and am intersting in MISSHA #13 as was recommended from PaleMUA because I have strong pink undertones! here

u/plinkityplonk · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

It sounds like we're a similar colour. I use this stuff for light-medium coverage http://www.amazon.com/MISSHA-Perfect-Cover-Cream-Milky/dp/B003HYPVM8 It looks dark in the amazon photos but I assure you shade number 13 it's wonderfully pale. have a look at it and see if it sounds good to you np.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddicts/comments/233jnt/review_missha_m_perfect_cover_bb_cream_no_13/? http://skinandtonics.com/missha-perfect-cover-bb-cream-review/

u/godcalledinsick · 1 pointr/PaleMUA

I have combination skin that's pale with pink undertones too. I switched from using a heavy foundation to a high coverage BB cream with amazing results. I just make sure to moisturize the dry areas before putting it on. Right now I'm using Missha BB cream in shade #13. It's really cheap and has lasted a long time- so cheap that even if it doesn't work for you, you're not out that much. Good luck!

u/LexicanLuthor · 1 pointr/AskWomen

IDk how pale you are, but there is this, a foundation I discovered after my similarly pale-skinned friend recommended it to me.

here is a good before and after pic that echoes my experience (not my pic obvs)

u/Always_Daria · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

Missha BB cream is my personal favorite. It's got really nice medium dewey coverage, a squeezy tube, is relatively inexpensive, and has a nice SPF. My only complaint is that its fragranced.

u/Luckystar812 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I am awesome and deserve my item because I've been doing super well lately with fixing problems in my life. Huge accomplishments (For example, signing up for full time classes again, and applying for jobs...and hopefully more things like that to come). For two days straight I've been feeling well enough to leave the house, eat full meals all day, get things around the house accomplished (like packing for my move)...And then, overall just feeling...well, kinda happy today. I feel like I deserve at least a ribbon saying "good job".

This item is amazing because it would help me feel extra pretty by enabling me to do my makeup properly. It would make everything a lot smoother and blend much better. :)

u/EnvyAdams · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

What makes me beautiful!

This ELF studio face primer or minty nails. Both are on my beauty wishlist. :)

I just posted a discussion on this! :) Warpaint (less)!

Something that makes me self conscious is that I have self injury scars all over my lets and stomach and upper arms. However, I've grown to not be ashamed of my past and I totally flaunt booty shorts, swimsuits, and sleeveless tops now!
Awesome idea, thanks so much!

I've never had a primer, I hear they're useful.

u/Emilolz · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This elf face primer

And this cologne for my husband

He's running low on his good smells and I'd hate for him to start using the axe his mother bought him that stuff is terrible. Also I don't want to look a hot mess for him so primer is essential! We can go out on date nights and look/smell nice then come home and practice making a baby!

Schmidt my add on!

> skinfood salmon under eye concealer

ooo tell me more about it! is it this product?

u/plaidsuitpants · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

I haven't used it, but I've been looking at this. I'm super pale too so the color is putting me off, but it is an orange color which is supposed to counteract blue.

u/Sprinklepug · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

The Skinfood Dark Circle Corrector is my holy grail and I've tried every corrector in Sephora! I love it for what it does and the price! You have to warm it up a bit in your fingers before you place it under your eye and I usually put another brightening concealer over it but it's truly magic for me.

http://www.amazon.com/Skin-Food-Salmon-Concealer-Blooming/dp/B004FKD3HI

u/FertyMerty · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

You can't go wrong with CoverGirl Clump Crusher. So good.

As for undereye - most people seem to favor NARS creamy radiant concealer or Urban Decay Naked Skin concealer. The former is thicker and more pigmented; the latter is thinner and has a dewier finish with slightly less coverage.

That said, to counteract the blues you have in your inner corner and undereye (which are honestly very slight! You're normal!), you could try careful application of a salmon corrector. I really love this one. Pretty sure NYX makes one too.

u/noys · 1 pointr/sugarfreemua

I use a clean mascara wand I salvaged from an old mascara to comb through my lashes :)

This product gets rave reviews and has a really good price/quality/quantity ratio.

u/gofauvism · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

Skinfood . Every now and then if I rush and use too much, then find myself in a really humid environment - it'll crease a little but it's easy to fix with a finger or q-tip. I'm curious to see how it would behave differently with eyeshadow base under it - it's occurred to me but I just haven't tried it because I'm generally pretty satisfied with it. I never set it with powder, either, but I probably would if I used any, hah. Anyways, I like how it doesn't look muddy or painty, but still covers really well. I find it looks better with time, too, like it settles itself out. As far as my skin/eyes go - I have thin Irish skin, so I get those creases a lot from smiling and having deep set eyes. The dark circles are bluey/purpley in some places and kind of green in others. Cute, right? It's also in between my eyes on the side of my nose, so I use it there too.

edit: plus it's cheap!

u/CaptainCorpsie · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

This is really nice of you! I have been wanting to try the NYX Concealer Jar in Orange

u/new_aphrodite · 1 pointr/asktransgender

Let's take a look at the colour wheel: http://student.iamchaka.com/design_img/color_colorwheel.png

Beard hair tends to be blueish. Notice what's across from blue? Orange!

As /u/DoubleSurreal said, you could use orange lipstick for this, but orange concealer will probably work eve better. Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/NYX-Cosmetics-Concealer-Orange-0-24/dp/B004QQ1170

u/HadMyShareOfDoubt · 1 pointr/MtF

NYX orange concealer with Dermablend over it works very good too.

This stuff https://www.amazon.com/NYX-Cosmetics-Concealer-Orange-0-25/dp/B004QQ1170

u/LaurenIsNew · 1 pointr/transpassing
u/lordwindykilt · 1 pointr/goth

My go-to is this foundation mix-in by Manic Panic:

Manic Panic Virgin Dreamtone Gothic Foundation Vampire White (1 fl oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SUGXWC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VEWGDbBFC8388

Unfortunately it doesn't work all on its own and has to be mixed with ordinary foundation, but if used this way, it works wonders. If you can find a good mousse foundation in your skintone (or lighter if preferred), mix an equal amount of the white with that on a beauty blender and then apply to your skin.

Of course, if you want more white, you can use more of the white stuff than normal foundation in your mixture.

Looks divine if topped with a white powder. :)

u/PuddleOfSunshine · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

Oh, and I just thought to add that you might get a lot of use out of a white foundation mixer like Manic Panic Dreamtone or the Life's Entropy white foundation elixir. I'm going to order the Life's Entropy drops very soon so I can resurrect a bunch of foundations from my foundation graveyard.

u/alderfae · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

I just add a tiny bit of this to whatever foundation I am using and it lightens it up nicely. I'm very pale, and the undertones in most foundations never match my skin quite right.

u/faithnna · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

Ima cheapskate and I've been lusting after this! I've seen such great reviews for it and the colors look amazingggg. Who doesn't need a palette that tells you exactly how to apply it?! Also a new stippling brush because they're amazing.

Thanks for doing this!

u/JustHood · 1 pointr/muacjdiscussion

Try a dual fiber stippling brush like this. It totally helps you to build up color instead of being overwhelmed by pigment.

u/TheGreenBasket · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

Thank you! Heart Drugstore Makeup

  1. Overall? Oh... tough! Maybe Maybelline? NYX and Mineral Essence are close seconds
  2. Revlon Colorstay Foundation in 150 buff, Mineral Essence "Innocence", and Maybelline moisture extreme in "Peach Colada"
  3. Elf eyeliners
  4. 4 Revlon/Maybelline lipsticks for a $1 each on clearance at Target
  5. Mineral Essence eyeshadows/blushes are amazingly pigmented
  6. Covergirl Natureluxe lip balm in Marble- a very overpriced pigmentless lipbalm
  7. I don't really attempt dupes since I don't have too many high end makeup. I'm sorry! :(
  8. Elf eyeshadows and brushes. They last maybe an hour on, even with great primer. The brushes are scratchy, very cheaply made, and not good at applying anything. :(
  9. Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick, Royal Red #190
  10. Real Techniques Stippling Brush

    Edit1: Sorry, wasn't sure if Real Techniques was drugstore or not. If it isn't, then I'd be very happy with the Maybelline Moisture Lipstick in Royal Red
u/PattiLuPWNed · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand overall? Physician's formula for sure!

What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products? Face is physicians formula, their concealer stick has great coverage and I feel like it's not gonna burn my face off or anything. I also like the physican's formula shimmer strips for the cheeks, and I AM IN LOVE with the Almay Liquid Lipbalms - I want them ALL!!

Least favorite product? Covergirl eyes shadows have never been the best, and I honestly don't get the wet and wild love a lot of ladies here have. I've tried most of it - and it's not great to me.

What is the best makeup bargain? It's a toss up between clump crusher and Yes to Blueberries facial wipes. Those are my FAVORITE make up wipes and they're some how magically hydrating too. But clump crusher is just as good if not better than a $20+ mascara - so that's a real bargain.

What is your favorite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?) That's a good question! I honestly think the Almay Liquid Lipbalms get overlooked - even though they're so new. As soon as I tried one I was SURE they'd be the next Revlon Lip Butter, Clump Crusher, etc. but they haven't caught on like I thought they would. But I'm probably just unique cause I have a THING for color saturated lip balms.

A drugstore product that is overpriced? Revlon Lip Butters! I tried them, they're pretty good, but $7-$10? No.

Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!! Elf always has the BEST dupes. Like, down to the packaging. Their blush bronzer duo is an exact dupe of the Orgasm/Laguna duo for Nars.

Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype? Color tattoos. Sorry guys, I don't get it.

What is the item you most want to try from the Drugstore? I've been dying to try Essie's apricot nail treatment - but I feel weird spending $8 on it! The package is so pretty and my nails always need help!

What item would you want from your wishlist? This guy!

This is awesome! Also unless it took me forever to type this I think I'm the first person to enter! Thanks for the contest summer! :) :) :)

Also I Heart Drugstore Makeup!!

u/Thisusernameisdope · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Are you a male or female that uses makeup? Do you use products such as foundation or face primer maybe even bb creams? Are you tired of having cakey face makeup because you cant find the right tool to apply it with? Well look no more! I've got this GAA-REAT brush right here! Its no ordinary makeup brush that just moves around your foundation leaving it to look like some spotty caked up mess. This brush glides and is smooth to the touch! It applys your foundation as if you were rubbing on some lotion! Do you want to be able to have flawless skin like a baby, a model in magazines IN REAL LIFE? Then buy this Real Techniques Stippling Brush! I promise it'll make your face so smooth it'll look Photoshoped!

Codename Duchess!

I literally made a separate Add-On list with all my wanted SFW add-ons, then played with numbers until I reached the total of as close to $25 as I could come with the things I wanted the most... I ended up reaching $25.11. (I wanted to stay right at, or BARELY over!!) I started out by marking all of my BIG wants as "high priority", then started playing with numbers to come up with my actual list for the contest. I marked each of those items as "highest priority"... so, my list is:

  • an Elspeth MTG deck box

  • concealer because I don't have a good one... even out of ALL the makeup I do own. LoL

  • the good Blistex for when the weather is reaking havoc on these sultry lips o' mine

  • the make up brush that I will be having an affair with, to the dismay of my other brushes.

  • and lastly, back to my nerdy MTG habbit... some bad ass girlie pink Monster dice!


    I would have done this sooner, but I received some bad news and spent some wallowing time... Thank you for hosting. Participating and playing around with Amazon gave me the distraction I needed, and I feel clearer headed and more accepting of the news I got tonight. <3

u/MsQuirky · 1 pointr/beauty

I love Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer. It's inexpensive and available at regular stores or Amazon. Wonderful applicator, super quick and easy to use.

Edit: Sorry if this shows up more than once, my reddit just went haywire lol.

I'm also assuming that you are still learning makeup basics, so here's a list of a few things that I think would make a solid set which you can find on amazon or, most likely, at your local drugstore and won't break the bank:

Here is my pup Lilly! She's a rat terrior mix. She's almost 3 years old and a huge cuddle bug.

Lilly is OBSESSED with my (mean) cat, who's name is Kitty. Kitty just kinda comes and goes as he pleases. He's old and grumpy!

u/WhattheNorris · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I don't wear makeup often because I'm honestly lazy, but I try to never ever leave the house without sunscreen! I use a lot of korean products, like my sunscreen and the BB cream I love.

I've been meaning to get a makeup bag so I can fill it with the stuff I own/will own at some point like: Makeup wipes, travel sunscreen, mascara, liquid eyeliner, bb cream, powder for finishing, set of travel brushes *­edit TWEEZERS (I can't tell you how many days have been ruined by a single hair on my neck or some other weird place that I'm sure no one but me has ever noticed).

My favorite product right now is probably this lipstick which I never have the right occasion to wear.

**edit #2 I've also had acne for the last 7 years, which is finally and ever-so-slowly fading away now that I'm in my twenties, so I'm a bit picky when it comes to the makeup I put on my skin. I'm sure if I had flawless skin I'd experiment with makeup way more.

u/not0your0nerd · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

I hope you feel better soon! I'd like to try this Pore Clearing Petit BB Cream and one of my favorite songs when I need cheering up is this one, (I am) The Love Addict by Lonely Forest. I love how upbeat it is and the lyrics are awesome.

u/noiant · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

I have combination skin and I like it haha. That one works fine with a beauty blender for me. I'm talking about this one. I find that the consistency is thicker but when I try to put it on with a beauty blender, it just sticks to it and doesn't spread as evenly on my face.

u/RedRedBettie · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/Holika-Clearing-Petit-Control-Powder/dp/B0059NL39U

For me and for oily skin I think this is the best one. The other ones I tried were nice but probably better for normal or drier skin.

u/misserinmay · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

Curiously, what kind of foundation are you looking for (matte, full coverage, etc.?) I trend towards BB Creams myself and I have this (which is lighter) and this (which is heavier), but both work pretty well. :)

Disclaimer: I'm a newbie, so they may not be the best options.

u/mr_jellyneck · 1 pointr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I agree. I've used Garnier's BB Cream and it's really no different from liquid foundation- it really dries my skin out defeating its whole purpose. I purchased a Korean BB cream from Amazon, Holika Holika brand, and I'm really impressed by it- anything I could say about it is covered in the great reviews its received.

Ladies, for the same price you're better off ordering something from Korea. They take their BB creams seriously.

u/IAmASquishyBunny · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

For moisturizers and the like, I definitely recommend going to /r/SkincareAddiction, they're very nice, lots of information and everyone is very helpful. They can help you find some good moisturizers to try.

As for other more makeup related things, I've had my eye on this eyeliner set for a while now, and I might get it from a different seller when I have the disposable income (I'm currently a mostly broke college student).

I live in a really humid place, so I've got my eye on this setting powder

I'm also a sucker for cute things, so this is on my wishlist too.

If you do want to try out some BB creams, this set isn't too expensive.

I really like the Maybelline color tattoo eyeshadows. I have two, one in Pomegranate punk, and another in electric blue. They're waterproof, so I use sweet almond oil to take it off.

My Amazon wishlist is about half skincare stuff, because I think the two go hand in hand. Also I wear makeup now that I feel more confident about my face and skin.

This one on Amazon is form a US-seller, this one is fulfilled by Amazon for $0.46 more if you're more comfortable with that.

Other than that, I went through all the US-based sellers in the list from the sidebar, and none seem to carry refills, though Soko Glam sells the cushion with case.

u/holybell0 · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

I'm actually found out about it from a channel I watch on YT about AB. [This] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IP6GI0M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xXdnzbD8S2G93) is the one she recommended.

If you also search spf mineral powder, that's another non-liquid solution.

I'm African American and new to all of this, so I'm planning on trying these out and seeing if it works for people like me.

u/needtostopshopping · 1 pointr/MakeupAddictionCanada

I remember seeing it for $24~ on Amazon about two months ago but it has obviously jumped a lot since then. Use camelcamelcamel to track the prices on Amazon. https://ca.camelcamelcamel.com/theBalm-Mary-Lou-Manizer-2-20-Oz/product/B0065I8MC4

u/papernoted · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

Making a cushion compact? Whaaaat? I was just going to buy one of these compacts (as recommended by another ABer on reddit). But if I could make one that might save me a couple of bucks! How do you do it?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E7IF4NY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So far, I've purchased from this seller two times, it arrived quickly (and seemingly for a cheaper price than a lot of the amazon sellers are asking) and it's been legit both times. (Idk about the green one in particular, but I know that Skin79 has a real problem with fakes, so even though I trust this seller now, I'm still a little wary. Check the packaging before slathering, just in case!) Good luck! I hope it's a match for you!

u/The_jellyfish_ · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

All of these commenters have great suggestions on how to prevent the shine! However, I'd like to add that a translucent powder pat on in the morning would help control the shine throughout the day and help it from being so intense. Etude House No Sebum has great reviews, and Skinfood's Peach Sake Powder is the product I currently use in the mornings, even on days where I wear no makeup, because it keeps my skin from getting super shiny and oily.

u/lipsredasarose · 1 pointr/Makeup

Are you open to Korean makeup? I use the Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm with some setting powder on days I don't feel like doing a full face. :) I like it a lot, it doesn't settle into fine lines or wear off, in my experience, and I'm in Virginia, where the summer has been mega humid!

Glam me please!! Gotta love free shipping ;) Thank you for hosting, what an awesome idea!! You are so sweet! or this...

u/_henhenpal_ · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

1. Hard choice, but I THINK it'd be Maybelline. They have great makeup and great bargains. Or maybe E.L.F...

2.

Face: Maybelline Fit Me concealer. That stuff is. amaze. balls.

Cheek: It's weird, but the L'Oreal Fairest Nude Lipstick, because it creates the most beautiful, natural blush.

Lip: Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon, because it's beautimous.

3. Revlon Creme Eyeshadow. I have a quad, and it's so weird. Gunky, gross, and NEVER FREAKING DRIES. Well, I mean, you know, not necessarily dry, but y'know what I mean? That stuff stays about 2 seconds on my lids before sliding off, and I don't have oily lids :(

4. A lot of stuff from E.L.F. I mean, some of their stuff really is worth that $1 you spent on it, but I've had a good experience with most of their products. The one in particular I'm thinking of is their dollar eyelash curler. Maybe I don't love on my eyelashes enough, but I think an eyelash curler is an eyelash curler, and I'd rather buy a new lip product than one of those!

5. I think CoverGirl Quads are pretty great (:

6. Physician's Formula is sorta pricey for what it is.

7. I don't have any thing 'dupeable' because all I have is drugstore:(

8. I honestly don't know, just starting out in makeup, I do a lot of research on here and MUA before buying. Most of what I've bought so far seems pretty good (:

9. Oh God, so many come to mind...I think what I'd most like to try is the Maybelline Fit Me foundation, because the concealer was so freaking amazing!!

10. I don't know... true makeup, probably either this or this. Makeup accessories probably these or these.. But the thing I seriously need that is only makeup related for me is this, because I literally sit on a bucket to do my makeup. Wow, all of that makes me sound like a spoiled brat...Just for the record, I don't expect anyone to actually get them for me, they're just high up there on my WL (: Thank you so so much for the contest!!!

  2. This would make me happy



    wow. This feels so familiar. My ex boyfriend ignored my feelings as well. He ignored it to the point where I was crying my eyes out everyday. I was just tired of it. So one day I just told him everything, everything that he made me feel. Every thing that he did that made me sad. I didn't keep anything back. For the first time, he listened. We ended breaking things off but it was for the best. I felt a lot better. So, what I suggest you do is to tell him your feelings, tell him how he hurt you. He might try to improve, or he might not improve but you'll never know unless you try.

My freshly showered face, sans warpaint!

I have a lot of issues with my face that I try not to dwell on, namely because I am blessed enough to have minor flaws. Nothing big. Just a couple of weird dry patches, thick red brows, and weird red capillaries around my eyes. I'm super comfy wearing no makeup outside. I just like looking all dolled up and gorgeous. Makeup is such a confidence booster for me!

Thanks for hosting. This is a fun one. :)
