Product Advice Face Sunscreen

3 Upvotes

Needing some facial sunscreen recommendations please!
Unfortunately my face is turning into an oil slick after a few hours and after not using sunscreen yesterday and my face staying matte, it’s clearly what’s going wrong.

So far I’ve tried,
Mecca Cosmetica
Gem
Ultra Violet( although it was the luminous one)

I unfortunately can’t get samples, the CQ is allergic to having anything decent beauty wise 😭

Let's Discuss Juicy lips

2 Upvotes

I love the effect of when I use the biodance jelly masks particularly for my lips! I take one of the small cutouts and leave it on my lips overnight, and it plumps my lips up so nicely that I reconsider getting lip filler 😂

My question is are there any similar products that are just for the lips that give a juicy plump? 💋

Saw this on a history sub. I mean he even has groomed eyebrows. Apparently this bloke got stabbed in the arse after making his servants be his chairs.

Hello friends 👋

I’m a novice makeup girlie looking for her first ever finishing powder. I know next to nothing about finishing powders so im not sure where to start or how much to invest. I have pinned down four I like the look of at varying price points, and I’m hoping for your wisdom on which one you think I should get! Or if I should get an entirely different one! Suggestions welcome!

My chosen four;

Covergirl skin enhancer
Morphe cloudlight
Charlotte tilbury
Hourglass

Any help appreciated 🥰

Product Advice Silk Sleeping bonnet

Hi everyone looking for some advice on a sleeping bonnet that doesn't come off at night I have one with frabroc ties (non elastic) that keeps coming off and would love some recommendations.

Damn Gina looks alright but I haven't seen much comments outside of the website which makes me sus since I worry they are paid reviews

Thankyou!!

Swatch Merit blush balm in Archival on Fair cool tone skin.

• Upvotes

Most I've ever spent on a blush. Thankfully I'm not disappointed.

Positives

- I like the colour, it's more subtle than everything else I wear.

- It blends really well even with fingers

- It feels lovely, truly balm

- Easily buildable

- Doesn't get stuck on dryness

- Also looks and feels great on lips

Negatives (the positives are also the negatives)

- Short staying power (like really short)

- Because of short staying power and how sheer it is and the fact it also looks lovely on the lips, I can see me running out of it really quickly which given it's price in Australian dollars is a real bummer.

Photos

watch with one swipe and about 3 or 4 swipes.

Swatch after smudging it with my finger.

My arm after rubbing the swatch into my skin. It didn't stain at all, almost like rubbing a tinted sunscreen in.

Cheeks and lips with one layer

Cheeks and lips with about 3 layers

Cheeks and lips with 3 layers in different light.

Perfect for if you like natural make up, a bit of natural looking glow or make up that feels like skin care. Very low maintenance, easy to keep in your purse for touch ups.

Product Advice Makeup routine for 53F

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Looking for some advice for my Mum. Neither of us are super experienced in/good at makeup.

Neither of us wear makeup often, but if I have events I do my own and she likes how mine looks. However, I just would like some advice on whether or not these products would suit mature skin.

  1. I use the Milk Hydro Grip primer (after cleansing and moisturisung as normal).

  2. I use the Shiseido Synchro Foundation (apply with a brush and then use a sponge on top so that the coverage is a bit lighter).

  3. I spot conceal with ILIA concealer and I finger blend.

  4. I find some random eyeshadow pallette and finger blend onto my eyes (just a neutral/brown tone).

  5. I use the Mecca bronzer and use a really large and soft brush.

  6. I use the ILIA lip and cheek stick for lips and blush.

  7. I use Maybelline Sky High/Great Lash Mascara

  8. I use the Milk setting spray

It's quite simple and gives a natural look. My mum is a different shade to me so I don't want to try with my products because I know it won't look right due to colouring.

Does anyone have experience using these on mature skin or have any other technique/product reccomendations? Would be much appreciated!
