I'm so sorry OP! Maybe in the future try an open heated curler? They look a little scary, but I find them to be really pleasant feeling and the curl is great. Can't rip hairs out if they're not clamped!

https://smile.amazon.com/Panasonic-ES2351AC-Heated-Eyelash-Curler/dp/B0009DT39W?sa-no-redirect=1

That's the one I have and I love it! I actually got it because the last post I saw like yours made me too afraid to use my clamp curler

u/jollytsunami · 41 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I missed my chance to use that! Lol. Thank you!! I bought a set off Amazon actually and they're super soft! Here's the link for them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY8ICR6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lfZvDbE3JRWGE
I use these brushes mixed with some from palettes I bought or a random Real Techniques brush. ☺

u/LadyVagrant · 27 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I have a few tricks to keep the curl in my super-straight lashes:

  • use waterproof mascara

  • Use a really good curler like Shu Uemura's or Shiseido's before putting on the mascara. Make sure you keep the curler clamped down for at least 5 seconds

  • apply waterproof liquid eyeliner, clear mascara, or a lash gel (I like Ardell's) to your lashes before you curl them. These products act just like hair gel by giving your lashes some 'grip' and making them easier to shape.

  • use a heated eyelash curler after you put on your mascara. I prefer wand-type heated lash curlers like Panasonic's. You hold the heated portion to your lashes while pushing them up. This sets the curl so that it will last all day.

    Just be sure to use a wetter, waterproof formula (Maybelline's are ideal) since drier, creamier formulas tend to just flake and melt off when you use a heated curler on them. The wetter formulas will dry harder (kinda like how gel will dry if you hit it with a hairdryer).

    You can also use a heated spoon or your finger to do the same thing if you don't want to buy a separate device (though they are pretty cheap).

I haven't shipped this haul yet as I'm still adding stuff but sure why not!

u/deadshotdaxuri · 24 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Thank you!!

I don't have like set brushes but I ordered a set off of amazon they're called qivange they work great for the price!

My one staple brush is the Sigma e40 I've had this brush for like 7 years and it's by far the most amazing blending brush I've ever had.

u/ScrunchiesandDraino · 23 pointsr/muacjdiscussion

i bought them in a bundle of like 30 about...... 5 years ago now? most of the brushes were duplicates but i still use the contour, blush, highlight, and most of the eye brushes from the set and they were like... 12 dollars for 30 or so brushes. i’m surprised i found them but
here they are

u/tummy_grumblinz · 15 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

There are a couple of things you can do to avoid it. First, practice practice practice. Mascara takes a lot of getting used to. Second, if you're having trouble with them going different directions, try combing them out first. You can get an eyelash comb like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Tweezerman-1054-r-Folding-Eyelash-Comb/dp/B002HK2GI0 to help keep them in line. Third, don't lay it on too thick! Even the lightest mascara will clump up if you put on too much. Lastly, a lot of it has to do with the formula of the mascara. Some mascaras will just clump up no matter how well you apply it. A lot of people really like covergirl's clump crusher formula. It's a good, cheap go to that will help you get rid of clumps.

I hope that helps!

u/misseff · 15 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

IMO the Beauty Blender is overhyped. The texture/shape is different from a normal sponge, but you can get much cheaper versions that many reviewers say are exactly the same.

u/RugerRedhawk · 14 pointsr/facepalm
u/BoredDellTechnician · 13 pointsr/wicked_edge

I almost feel obligated to ask for pictures as this is reddit, however seeing as we are all gentlemen in this subreddit I will abstain.

I see from one of your responses that you shave against the grain. This is very common with most women as it produces a closer shave. You can try to shave with the grain by going top to bottom but this will not produce a closer shave. Based on your responses, I think that what you need to do is focus on the lubrication aspect of shaving to make sure that the razor is not tearing up your skin. The OLAY soap you are using is more than not likely providing your skin with enough protection.

I would advise treating yourself to a nice brush to use to build a thick lather for shaving. This brush is a good choice as it is synthetic and will dry out faster if left in the shower. I also highly recommend Lucky Tiger shave cream, as it is what my girlfriend uses on her legs and bikini area. It can be used with or without a brush.

This subreddit is fond of using safety razors, however with having to shave your legs and bikini area every day I do not see how that would be practical from a time consumption point of view. If cost is not a factor I would advise using a fresh Gillette Mach III cartridge with every shave, however there are other cartridge options that provide as good as a shave for a fraction of the price such as the Gillette Trac II or Gillette Guard.

Whatever razor / soap / brush combo you end up using, you are going to want to make sure that your soap to water ration is correct to provide proper lubrication for your shave. You are looking to get a consistency that it similar in thickness to whipped cream.

Finally a disclaimer about shaving your bikini area with new products, try a small dab of the product at first. Some of the products on this subreddit were formulated to be used on a man's beard and may burn like hell when coming into contact with your vaginal lips.

u/charmingdot · 12 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Argh.

For anyone in the UK, the set of 20 is £18.73 (as of right now) on Amazon UK.

u/MizDiana · 10 pointsr/asktransgender

Do you have $50 to blow? I'd say go to Sephora, schedule a makeover (you have to spend $50 on product), and then ask them to do a simple, easy to learn style that could be used every day and makes you look feminine/female. Overall, you can get the same look with drug store stuff as with more expensive brands. The difference is usually the durability (cheap mascara dries up & flakes off after 5 hours, say) and how easy it is to put on.

My basics: foundation (ask a store employee for color, usually it should match the skin tone of your neck/chest/underarm), concealer for beard shadow (a little more pinkish/orangish than usual if you're covering up dark beard shadow on a light-skinned face), mascara, lipstick. Also, usually bronzer. (Brush it on beneath the cheekbone. Start at the ear, and hook it under the cheekbone. Don't extend past horizontally past where your eye starts. Adds some color & the darkness in that area makes it look like you have real cheekbones, which many of us don't.)

Hygiene: Do NOT use the floor samples at any makeup store. Makeup can carry bacteria. You don't want other people's skin diseases. A store employee doing a makeover or showing you a sample should clean it with an alcohol spray before using. Ask about this. Also, once a month or so clean your brushes with alcohol (ELF makes a cheap alcohol spray that isn't as rough as plain isopropyl rubbing alcohol, though that works too.

Removal: Makeup removal wipes are a rip-off, though I do have one pack for my gym locker. I prefer a simple oil, as makeup is generally oil-soluble. Something relatively cheap, like cold-pressed almond oil, will wipe makeup right off and be much healthier than fancy makeup removers. (Except mascara, which is usually water soluble.) Take off makeup, towel (or old t-shirt) off the oil, wash face with water, and apply moisturizer before bed. Sleeping in makeup isn't great for your skin.

Brushes: I'd look for a brush set on Amazon. Makeup in stores can be a good deal. Brushes are always a rip off in stores. I prefer animal hair, and bought this set:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1PC5MA5316

Cheaper:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B001JKTTVQ/ref=twister_B00MPAVC82?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

Or this if you're going to splurge:

https://smile.amazon.com/SHANY-Professional-Brush-Leather-Look-Badger/dp/B002DOSSYG/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1526426788&sr=8-3&keywords=makeup+brush+set+animal+hair

There are a variety of all-synthetic brushes if you don't want something that uses animal hair though, like this:

https://smile.amazon.com/ZOREYA-Brushes-Leather-Contour-EyeShadow/dp/B01N9RJ4D7/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1526426788&sr=8-6&keywords=makeup+brush+set+animal+hair

For liquid foundation: some cheap teardrop sponges. For primer, silicone applicators. Like so:

https://smile.amazon.com/Cosmetic-Silicone-Blending-iFanze-Concealer/dp/B071NDHJ6Y/ref=sr_1_6_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1526427802&sr=1-6&keywords=beauty+sponge+%2B+silicon

SPF: the sun is your enemy. Always wear SPF anywhere that will be exposed to the sun.

What basics do I actually use: Sephora-brand liquid foundation (lotion I put on before makeup is SPF), sephora lipstick (SPF), Sephora primer. (Which I use only if I want my makeup to last 10+ hours - makeup is absorbed into the skin. Sephora filling primer is kind of like vaseline-light and will prevent that. Also, ever so slightly reduces wrinkles - not by much.) Sephora concealer too, but they canceled my favorite shade. Dunno what I'll go with when I run out.

Ulta bronzer. Simple, cheap.

Mascara is covergirl (gym bag) or Urban Decay (expensive, but I like it).

I also have a variety of other lipsticks, eye shadows that I got as a gift from friends (yay) or Ulta promotional items. I usually don't bother with eye liner or eye shadow (I prefer light eye shadows, NOT smokey or dark eye shadows, as trans women already tend to have more shadow from deeper-set eyes). Once in a LONG while I play with contouring, blush, highlighters, but I don't bother usually. Heck, many days I'll just put on some concealer on my upper lip and call it good now that laser means I don't have beard shadow most places.

I probably spent about $200 in my first 4 months of makeup. Then about $20 once every three months since then.

u/auralgasm · 10 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Comb through your lashes after you put mascara on with a spare spoolie (you can buy bulk packs on Amazon) or an eyelash comb and it should take care of any spidery issues!

u/hashlinglingslasher · 10 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Ask the seller to issue a refund. If the seller doesn't respond within a few days, open a dispute with eBay.

I think they have brushes similar to the Zoeva complete eye set on amazon if you're interested :)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY8ICR6/ref=twister_B01M7YSHDW?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

u/brightemptyspace · 9 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I also have a small-sized one, and seriously-- it is the only mascara I have ever been able to wear, let alone love! It's the only one that doesn't irritate my eyes or flake all over the place, or turn me into a raccoon. (I have started using an eyelash comb to get rid of any clumps because I've always hated clumps, but I think the mascara rocks!)

u/Chibimarukitty · 8 pointsr/TrollXChromosomes

u/if0rg0t2remember · 5 pointsr/wicked_edge

Arko without question is the best idea for travel. cut the stick down if you want to be even more convenient. I've used the ecotools retractable kabuki several times now and although it isn't a shave brush, it does a reasonable job and dries quickly.

u/erma_maggard · 5 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Thanks for this! I had no idea a comb like this existed, but I just ordered this tweezerman version and it was prime eligible. Woo hoo!

u/forever_in_green · 5 pointsr/muacjdiscussion

I like this one from Tweezerman! The teeth are pretty fine and
they're pointed at the tip, so it does a good job of separating.

u/emstx · 5 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

So, personally, I have never used the beauty blender, but I bought these generics and have been really happy with them.

I did look at reviews between the two and I have heard that the beauty blender is more porous than than the generics and that is why it is softer/squishier. This would also mean that it soaks up more foundation and when using a sponge I think the soaking up of foundation is a bit inevitable. I also would not spend $20 on a sponge, it just seems excessive.

My generic sponges have been stained, but I doubt that's of any surprise. I bought one pack and gave the other sponges away to friends and family last year, everyone is still using them and they have not deteriorated.

u/auralie · 5 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

If you have Mac Fix+ or Elf Mist & Set (or something similar), you can use it to wet your eyeshadow brush and it greatly minimizes fallout while making the color deeper.

The eye brushes in the RT collection are reallllly large and hard to use imo. I'm not sure any of those could be used to pack on color very well :/. These are the best cheap brushes I've found if you feel like you need something different. There's an end for blending (long and fluffy), one for the crease (medium length, medium fluffy), one for packing on color (the short and stubby one), and another for eyeliner or brows. I really like it.

The other replies are really great, too. This technique can be used on top of (/u/bratchny's black base suggestion). Otherwise underneath all of that, use your regular primer!

u/Woodnote_ · 5 pointsr/AsianBeauty

I agree with /u/IvyMonster. Amazon cracks down hard on any sellers that don't provide genuine products. I've honestly never really paid any attention to who I'm buying from if it's available with Prime, and if it's not then I'll check the sellers ratings. I have no recommendations for sellers, but I pretty optimistically don't worry about fakes.

Good brands to start with are the Etude House I Need you mask set, or Innisfree It's Real mask set. It gives you a nice variety at a decent price.

u/AppleButterToast · 4 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I used it last summer on several days when I was out in the sun all day long. It works really well for me. I carry the compact with me and this retractable brush and reapply every hour or so. My skin is very pale and burns easily and throughout the entire summer I only got very slightly burnt once and that was only because I forgot to reapply.

EDIT: Forgot a word.

u/kiss-tits · 4 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

You can get a pack of 4 beauty blender dupes for like 2 dollars on amazon too

Personally, I think the only reason they're able to make 20 dollars a pop off of 1 Oz of sponge is because they know how to market and package it. It's clearly not even in the ream of costing that much to make.

u/tgc07 · 4 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

u/Felix--Felicis · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I'm considering getting a heated eyelash curler (perhaps this one). Every time I try to apply top liner, my curler always ruins/smudges the line so I thought this might be a good solution. I would love to hear some thoughts and opinions on heated curlers!

u/daytwi · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Eesh!

Yeah I definitely prefer curlers that have rounded silicone pads that have a little give and cushioning to them rather than the cheaper ones that have foam or just hard plastic.

Another option is a heated curler like the Panasonic Curling Wand (http://amzn.com/B0009DT39W) which doesn't clamp down at all, you just hold it up and under your freshly mascara'd lashes (while they're still wet) and it helps them dry with some lift to the edges. It doesn't provide the same sort of curl as a traditional curler but definitely more than just mascara on its own. Just a thought, can you tell I'm passionate about eyelash curlers? ;) Good luck!

u/bobcat_90 · 3 pointsr/AskWomen

It's a Beauty Blender, basically a sponge used to apply makeup like foundation.

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

The biggest decision I made was finally telling me ex bf he was treating me like poop and causing me to harm myself. I was scared to tell him because I didn't want to break up but we did anyway. I realized if I stayed with him longer, I was just going to be sadder and sadder. I'm so glad I did because I am much happier without him. When I was with him, I felt ugly and unhappy but now I feel normal and happy.

flabbergasted

edit: If I win, this is what I would like

u/brad3378 · 3 pointsr/photogrammetry

I'm still organizing it, but my "kit" includes:

  • DSLR Camera, prime lenses, camera bag

  • Wooden yard stick (Scale bar and setting depth of field)

  • IR remote control for camera (more steady camera triggering)

  • Tripod on casters for faster shot setups

  • Athlete's foot spray ($1 each at the dollar store)

  • Developer's spray / Dulling spray

  • temporary/removable rubberized paint (basecoat before spraying perm. paint) example

  • Multi-colored textured spray paint Example

  • Powder duster for applying inexpensive dust to objects. I haven't perfected this process. It's messy and the powder can change appearance between camera shots and spoil your entire photoshoot. I'd still like to figure out a better way because flour, baking soda, baby powder, and other dusty substances are far cheaper than spraypaint and athlete's foot spray.

  • retractable kabuki brush for applying powder. I'm still experimenting with this, but it's a standard item included with the NextEngine 3D Scanner and they recommend applying talc powder to a lanolin base.

  • Smart phone with lightmeter app, depth-of-field calculator app

  • "Muslin" quick-clamps to drape a bedsheet behind object to diffuse lighting

  • log book for optimal camera settings (dry erase board is faster for me)

  • dry erase board for snapping a pic of my settings

  • stickers for registration marks. I have only tried ordinary circular stickers without the computer generated encoded targets and have so far been disappointed with the results.

    There's probably more, but that's all I can think of for now.

    FUTURE ITEMS:

  • $10 Lazy susan turntable from Ikea

  • CNC controlled camera gantry for automated image capturing

  • Field monitor for easier camera focusing. It's much harder on the small camera display.

  • WiFi enabled camera or a WiFi enabled SD memory card

  • A light tent - preferably with an entire setup with variable LED lighting from reddit user /u/Iontrades_

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iontrades/lite-studio-all-in-one-photo-studio-and-3d-scanner

  • Green screen backdrop for experimenting with the automask feature in 3DF Zephyr software. I may also experiment with other backdrop colors, threadcounts, and thicknesses to optimize contrast (between the workpiece and backdrop) and optimize lighting.

  • Experimental mixture of white baby powder, black pepper, and acetone to make it stick together. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm hoping that the acetone would help it stick to the workpiece and quickly evaporate.

A large Whipped Dog silvertip (30mm) should do the trick. I also recommend you look at the HJM black synthetic from ConnaughtShaving.com (Mühle black synthetics at top; scroll down for HJM synthetics): $25 including shipping to the US. Extremely nice knot and has excellent capacity.

edit: Another big brush that I just recalled: the HIS brush. It's enormous, not expensive, and works quite well.

u/LadySkywalker · 3 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

Alright, first...Happy Early Birthday!!!

Now on to face things.

Skincare

First of all you should check out r/skincareaddiction. Even if you don't want to join the community the FAQ is great.

What I do for my normal/oily skin is every morning and every night I wash with CeraVe Foaming Face Wash which is recommended for oilier skin. So you might want to check that out.

Every 3 days or so I exfoliate with Epicuren which is just from my mom's shop but it's a nice deep scrubs without being too abrasive. You don't want abrasive like with say St. Ive Apricot scrub because you're actually tearing your skin and that's just not very nice. You want to gently exfoliate.

Once a week I use a LUSH face mask. My favorite is Love Lettuce because it's refreshing and exfoliating. Second favorite is definitely Cupcake. I feel so clean and bright after it.

Wipe off your makeup before you go to bed. It's bad for your skin and bad for your sheets. Whatever you do to take it off, just get it off. I use vaseline. It's cheap and easy on my sensitive skin.

Clean your brushes. Clean them. Seriously. What I do is after every makeup application I get a tissue and something with and edge like the edge of my dresser and I wipe the brush over the tissue over the edge to get all the excess makeup out. Then every 2 weeks I do a deep clean. Get a bar of some kind (towel rack, clothes hanger) and rubber bands. Get some warm, running water, and either some baby shampoo or some brush cleaner (though honestly I just use shampoo) and wet your brushes, bristles pointing downwards always. You don't want to get water trapped inside the little metal/plastic attaching ring thingy. Add a dot of shampoo to your hand and swish that brush around. It'll be gross. Good. You'll always remember to do it now that you know how gross your brushes get. Rinse bristles down. Dry bristles down by wrapping the rubber band around the handle and attaching to your rod/hanger.

Makeup

This is what I cannot live without

  1. Naked Basics. This is the best $27 I have ever spent in my life. I use it every single friggin day. All of the colors are perfect neutral mattes from lightest light to darkest dark. I even use one of the colors to fill my eyebrows. It's perfect.

  2. Wet n Wild Liquid Liner. I've become a liquid liner addict. It really helps make it look like I have eyelashes. The brush is very firm and very thin so I always end up with a line where I want it.

  3. Urban Decay 24/7 glide on liner in Smoke. I have very light eye lashes. So I tight line.. Trust me. You want to tight line.

  4. Clump Crusher I love this mascara. It really is non-clumping and while it doesn't give me the longest lashes in the world it makes them look fuller because there's no clumps.

  5. Smashbox BB Cream. This is just the BB cream I use. It does what all the BB creams do but I happen to match the 'Fair' color very well.

  6. Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. This shit smells like chocolate. I'm not even joking. I'm new to bronzer, but it's perfect for my skin tone.

  7. Sephora Blush. I'm still learning about blushes but I like that this one is matte. I'm not a sparkle face girl.

  8. Lipstick. I have too many to choose. See this comment I did where I swatch and rated every lipstick I have.

  9. E.L.F eye shadow primer You need primer. No. You need it.

    Makeup For You

    So if you're just starting out again you don't want to go spending a stupid amount of money before you figure out what you like. So here are my suggestions for you specifically.

  10. Eyeshadow. Now if you can afford it, I highly recommend Urban Decay Naked Basics. But that's $27. So in lieu of that I suggest you get some Wet n Wild Eyeshadows. Maybe this one or this one.

  11. Eye shadow primer. Go to target and find the ELF section and get primer. It's a dollar and it will make your eye shadow amazing. No reapplying no smudging no creasing. Just perfect perfect eyes. It comes in other colors too, you may want to get a shade darker if you want to match your skin tone.

  12. Eyeliner. I would say get a pencil in either black or dark brown. I don't know if liquid liner is right for your eye shape but if you want to give it a go then you do whatever you want; it's your face.

  13. Eyelashes. Get a lash curler. Two to three curls and you should be good. I'd say black mascara for you.

  14. Eyebrows. I'm not an eyebrow expert but you're probably going to want to shape and fill in your eye brows (unless you love them just the way they are). For shape I'd go to a professional first before you wax at home or go plucking away. Then for filling in you can just use an eyebrow kit. Although I've heard complaint that dark eyebrows are the hardest to find a matching color for :(

  15. BB Cream. I hear Etude house kicks butt and it won't break your bank.

  16. Concealer. I love Maybelline 24 Hour Superstay Concealer it's awesome. You want to blend that stuff too, don't just dot it on.

  17. Blush. I think maybe a peachy blush but pictures don't always show stuff right for skin tone so maybe you need pink. I can't really tell.

  18. Bronzer. You've got great cheek bones. I would skip this for now. Unless you're super gungho in which case: I'd check out The Balm.

  19. Lipstick. Cheap and amazing lipstick is NYX and I think a nice natural shade would look great on you. But seriously, if you live near an ulta, nyx is like $3.99-$5.99 for lipstick. It's amazing. Or everyone goes gaga for these Etude House Bunny Glosses.

    Anyway, I think you look really great and that's the best start is being confident and having a natural beauty. Also I love your hair. But if you have any questions just let me know :)

Apparently Wayne Goss also recommends these dupes, which are super cheap at $10 for 4 with free Prime shipping: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092SVTGA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't have a real Beauty Blender, but I just got these and I love them! They swell up to twice the size when damp, just like the real thing, and "moosh" very nicely against the skin. They're supposed to be a bit denser than the original.

I think this contest is fun! Thanks for doing it again! Time is running out

I picked the same prize as last night. If I won it would be brush guards.
Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! I couldn't find the 3 pc set, but I'm going to give the 2 pc set a shot.



u/Ln16_taco · 3 pointsr/MUAontheCheap

I found this set of brushes that I have and love for $3.14. I bought a few to give to people with palettes as it has everything you need.

u/MillionLights · 3 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Try some aloe or green tea masks! I haven't tried very many brands but I love Etude House I Need You sheet masks. Someone just posted a PSA of them on sale at amazon here

edit: These have slight fragrance to them but it's not strong or annoying

u/glossyvossy · 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Brushes:
I love love love these ones from Amazon. The quality is extremely good and comparable with expensive brushes. The variety is also absolutely perfect for a beginner. You get everything you need for an eye look and more.

Palette:
For beginners, I find either the Too Faced Chocolate Bar or the Sweet Peach palette to be good. The color selection is standard and the pigmentation is pretty good. What I think makes them best for beginners is their blendability. The pigmentation and formula is just right to make them super easy to blend without completely blending away the color.

u/crisbehr · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I started wearing false lashes in August and I practically wear them on a daily basis now! It's all aboout practice and finding the right fit.

​

  1. Trim your lashes to fit from your outer corner to like 5mm away from your inner corner or more if it's comfortable for you.
  2. Place them on your lash line to figure out how you're gonna position it.
  3. Put a thin layer of glue on (I use kiss envy glue or duo lash glue) and dab a bit of extra on the outer ends.
  4. Let the glue dry a little and get tacky, when it starts to go a little transparent or blueish in tinge it's ready.
  5. Close your eye or almost close it and look downwards into a mirror, stick the middle part on with tweazers as close to your lashline as you can
  6. Align and stick down both outer corners

    If it feels comfortable, you're good to go! Don't be afraid to remove your lashes, clean them and re-apply if it feels off.

    ​

If I don't use an eyelash curler, the Dolly Wink Long (my favorite mascara for the past year and a half) is pretty meh, but once I started using a heated eyelash curler like this, and it makes my eyelashes exactly what I want them to be.

u/gypsiemagic · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

they are much much cheaper on amazon, you would be wise to spend your dollars on things you cant really get any cheaper in other places.

u/k1520 · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

This is just a little bit over $!0, but, if you don't have a beauty blender, I totally recommend it. I use liquid foundation, and it makes mine look infinitely better and more blended. I'm actually on my second one (my dogs mistook it for a toy one day...), but it's worth every penny!

u/LegiticusMaximus · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

I haven't used the Escali shaving brush, but I've heard lousy things about it. The brush sheds, and it irritates the skin. Escali uses black badger, and the only black badger brush I've ever used lathered great but stung my face. Consider getting an Omega boar brush, which can be had for like ten bucks. Boar brushes feel coarse at first, but they soften up as the bristles split at the ends. The brush also smells like hairy pig until the break-in phase is over. Alternatively, you could get an Ecotools Kabuki brush, which is made from bamboo and is considered to be a good starter brush.

If you want a cheaper alternative to the kit you have, you can go to Maggard Razors. They have their own brand of razors that seems to be based in part on the Edwin Jagger line. I can't speak to the quality of their razors (I use an Edwin Jagger and I like it a lot), but everyone who buys one seems to like it. You can get a kit with a razor, brush, shave soap, and alum for $40-50, and you can pick and choose your own blade sampler as well. The owners of the website are also frequent posters, and you can shoot /u/kcbeemo a message if you have a question about a product.

u/HaroldSax · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

The Wiki has a ton of useful information, it's what I went off of before taking the plunge about a month ago.

There are some great kits that are also available in the sidebar, sorted by price range, but personalized kits will take a little longer to understand and build up. I'm still on all of my first everything (save for blades) so I'm taking my time with everything. I personally used the Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Set because I found it at Target for $20. The brush is apparently terrible, but I've not had an issue with it's shedding just yet and someone earlier was saying they lost theirs and miss it terribly.

I'm not quite sure if this is the one regularly linked, but the EcoTools Kabuki is a regularly recommended brush from /u/LeisureGuy, who has some fantastic advice to be given out.

Going around doing some reading on this sub and the wiki will help you get a lot of the information that you'll need in order to actually put your kit together. There are several videos on YouTube (geofatboy and mantis are the popular ones) that show you how to lather, how to shave, how to maintain your razor, and how to change out blades, anything really.

I also use a generic Lord razor currently, it's a good price for a decent razor, something to consider, there is a less expensive one available, but the reviews are mixed on it.

u/texanandes · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddicts

I love love love my [ecotools retractable kabuki] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MX89Y8/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's sooo soft and it glides powder onto my face really well.

u/Stellabeaux · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

You know, I tried out the neutral palette thing for a while and it's great for some occasions. But it's so much fun working with colors!

The 252 was on sale on Amazon when I bought it for $20. It was a really brief dip in price and I thought "there's never a better time!"

Excessive? Probably. I see a lot of nearly the same shades repeated in the palette. I would say whatever you're comfortable spending would really be the factor in this. It's not excessively priced for $26 (with prime) and I like the variety.

I think if you had a good eyeshadow base to fall back on, getting a smaller palette wouldn't be a problem. For me, this is my eyeshadow palette. The only one, until I can get more (there was a thief let loose), so spending $20 on the 252 was a good investment for me.

u/Kainiaa · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I have the Coastal Scents 252 color palette. You can usually find it on Amazon around $30 and the colors are great. Just make sure you prime and use a white base beforehand and they stick beautifully. :)

u/something_other · 2 pointsr/Gifts

This is so lame, but the Gallagher Series by Nora Roberts. They are quick, easy, fun, and sexy/romantic. Romance novels are my guilty pleasure, and she is a master! I think I have to check out some Neil Gaiman though, so I don't feel too bad about my guilty pleasure. Thanks for hosting!

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)

EcoTools Eye Enhancing Duo Brush Set Define Blend & Smudge Eyeshadow & Liner https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GNA9KKM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xvBPDbWCJ49P4 I'm a big fan of these ones! They've lasted me a few years now and still going strong!

u/salt-lick · 2 pointsr/transpassing

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecotools-Eye-Enhancing-Duo-Brush/dp/B00GNA9KKM

This set! they're pretty cheap but reeeally good. I use them for all of my eyemakeup now, including my eyebrows. The rounded flat brush is great for applying lid colour, the rounded brush is good for blending, slanted brush is perfect for eyebrows and crisper liner and the short stubby brush I told you about is good for putting colour in the crease as well as softly lining the eyes.

10/10 :) would recommend! They're available most countries I should think.

u/sunshine7181 · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Amazon typically has some variety packs available, linked to a few here:
MBD Carnival

u/ecologista · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Does she use any skincare (not makeup, but lotions, etc) currently? Ideally we suggest things based on a person's skintype, current products, etc.

A good bet would be some sheet masks - a paper mask with a serum on it you use for 20-30 minutes - they come in a variety of flavors and are one-time use. Unfortunately, you're cutting it close and most of whats available in a timely matter from amazon will be Korean/Taiwanese (if she's picky about japanese stuff).

Some amazon options are:

u/Goodnight_Gromit · 2 pointsr/AsianBeauty

I just bought this from Amazon and am quite happy with the purchase. 20 sheet masks from Etude House for around $30. Probably not the best deal but I'm just starting out in AB.

u/qcityk · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I would say if you don't mind spending a little, the etude house [i need you masks] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OR0UYXC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00) are a great price for a huge variety. I love the variety and they work well on my face.

Hear me out on this but you can buy some blotting paper that women use to remove oils from face before makeup. Should definitely be on Amazon so no need to step foot in store. Used one a time or two and they’re effective and discreet.

this stuff

Target had Ardell too, a tiny bit cheaper.

u/tsukiii · 1 pointr/AskWomen

I squeeze once at the base, then I move along the lash, squeezing 3 or 4 more times to get more of an even curl.

I used to use a heated eyelash curler like this and it worked really well... but it kept running out of battery and I got lazy.

u/Alanamary · 1 pointr/Makeup

Youtube channels or pinteresting videos are an awesome starting point for techniques and honest product reviews.

My real suggestion if you have the money to spare is to go to a makeup artist and PAY for a lesson--not only can they recommend products which will work with your skin and work how YOU want them, but we can help you with application techniques and work with you to ensure you're good to go on your own..it's a one time (or more if you please) investment which is totally worth the money! :)

Somethings I love & would recommend to anyone:
-Pore Reducing Primer -- NYX Makes an awesome and inexpensive one which is comparable to other, more expensive products NYX Pore Filler Helps reduce appearance of enlarged pores
-A BB cream is a nice start for a light, yet buildable foundation and a good entry into using a foundation-esque product. Like I said, you can build up as much coverage as is needed! (I LOVE mac or Laura Mercier) MAC Prep + Prime BB Cream
-Blush, Bronzer and Contouring go a LONG way (I love NARS orgasm for blush for my skin tone--and NYX Taupe for contour--my bronzers..welll..I have an addiction!)
-A Beauty blender applicator is FANTASTIC for applying foundations flawlessly [beauty blender--but off brands are A-OK(http://www.amazon.com/Beautyblender-Ultimate-Makeup-Sponge-Applicator/dp/B000HRVC5I)
-Brushes.Brushes.Brushes. Now, I'm not saying that you have to run out and get professional style brushes--BUT they'll help blend everything together perfectly.

If a one on one makeup lesson isn't within your budget right now, I'd suggest perhaps a Sephora where you can try different products would be helpful--it's no cost, and you can FEEL different products within your budget!

u/vllewella · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

u/emmarose329 · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

I personally have tons and tons of ELF brushes, but I'm not sure if you can get those in the UK and they're not MAC quality by any means. I was eyeing up [this] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/SHANY-Professional-13-Piece-Cosmetic-Brushes/dp/B001JKTTVQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343753714&sr=8-1&keywords=makeup+brushes) brush set from SHANY when I was buying one of their 120 palettes- it's got pretty fantastic reviews.

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!!!

u/ladypau29 · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

May I suggest a good lash comb? This one's the one I use and it's been a game changer. My favorite mascara is Essence Lash Princess, the teal tube. Really holds a curl but you definitely have to comb them through after.

u/DSiobhan7 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

My favorite movie is Jurassic Park :D I was obsessed with dinosaurs growing up and I really do blame this movie for that. Also my love for Jeff Goldblum, he seemed to be in all the cool, actiony films of the 90's lol. I can still sit for a couple hours and get lost in the wonder and excitement I felt when I first watched it. I'd like to win the prize pack for my sister because she went in for a moderately invasive surgery today and it would be a great surprise for her. She'll be stuck in the house for about a month and I'm going to go visit her for a couple days to torture her with my presence(in return she'll torture me with makeup) ;p

This is would be my amazon item: Kabuki brush!. I'm gonna go with Bubble.

u/Eely_Hovercraft · 1 pointr/Wetshaving

Bring a cart or two, a stick of Arko, and a small kabuki make-up brush like this, and shave like a boss anywhere, any time, with no hassle.

I had this set for the last three years and only recently upgraded. They were really great in allowing me to try out brushes, figure out what I was going for, and gradually increase/improve my collection.

Here are the purple ones, and these are the original "Brush Guards" (which she glammed me earlier this year)

I've had that happen from a random foundation brush I got at TJ Maxx! My nose started breaking out and peeling and itching; it's like it was exfoliating my skin and I was maybe also allergic to it. Bad times.

Like someone else said, Elf brushes are great! I also LIVE for the basic EcoTools duo and this Wet n Wild blending brush. I can do pretty much all my eye looks with just those three brushes. I've also got a couple from Sonia Kashuk (which I think is Target-exclusive, so hopefully you're in the US) that are quite nice. And, like others have said, Real Techniques is really nice too! I highly recommend their face brushes and their blending sponge. (I do NOT recommend the EcoTools sponge. I've never hated a sponge more.)

You don't have to spend a ton! You can get a really great set of brushes, curated by you for your own needs, just in the drugstore/Target.

A make up blender :D I keep getting told I need to try using them as they are the best, but I can't find any in my local stores that aren't rough!

This is $1.09 with free shipping, so you could also gift other people :D

I like the big booties and I cannot lie.

I do like big booties. And boobs.

Was looking through Amazon and ordered these and really like them! I use them like once a day, so 100 goes a long way.

These are 5 for $9 and have worked really well for me.

I got these sponges the other day and they are SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I wanted to try the Missa ones but didn't want to buy enough to get free shipping.

Cool sounds like you got it down! So maybe you can add like a BB cream, blush, and tinted balm to your routine. And possibly also get into natural eyeshadows with a light color on your lid and under your brow then a darker color blended into the crease. I highly recommend one of these Lamora Nudes palettes, because you get 16 great shadows for $12. They are super easy to use, blend well, and have good pigment with little fallout. Very good for a beginner. And for $9 you can get a complete eyeshadow brush set, so you would have a variety of tools.
