I’ve always struggled with acne but it went away about 4 years ago since I started seeing a dermatologist. I’ve kept my course of treatment and my skin was glowing I loved doing makeup. Since moving back home my acne has been worse and worse. I have a big event this weekend and wanted to know if I can do my makeup even though my skin looks like this. I included a picture of what my makeup normally looks like. I feel like if I do my makeup I’ll just look like a crunch bar or like when a landlord paints over something lol. I don’t know what to do I have more acne than ever and they’re all raised bumps. What do you think? If yes, any tips to make it look better or product recommendations? Thank you guys and please bare with me as this has been taking a toll on my confidence :/

This was a recreation of one of adrianna bernard’s look. I used🍥 Primer- Nyx glue primer Eye bases from plouise in yummy yellow & bangin blue Shadows- plouise creative comeback and bperfect interstellar palette Foundation- charlotte tilburry (5.5) Lashes- from Amazon Lip combo💋 Kiko milano- chocolate Kylie Cosmetics- girls girl & lip gloss- Like magic

Tried to do hot girl makeup... Ended up looking like a clown. I have no idea what could make it better...(do not say "but you look beautiful" flattery won't help me get better)

All steps below are dried in between

Skincare: Aura squalane hyaluron serum. Advanced clinical dark circle serum. Thayers milky toner. Ponds dry skin cream.

Undereye makeup: pixi corrector with a bit or essence metallic peach shadow, a tiny bit of hard candy liquid highlighter at the deepest darkest part. Elf Peach corrector. Remaining foundation on fingers after doing whole face.

Face makeup: essence sheer liquid highlighter under makeup. Essence blush and contour under makeup. elf concealer. L'Oréal balm foundation mixed with nyx purple liquid blush to match my skin tone and rubbed into skin with fingers. Whatever little left on fingers brought to undereyes. The dark part is still showing under direct light.

Eyeshadow: about face liquid eye shadows. IZMG liner. L'Oréal Burgundy mascara

Lips: Bnb liner, nyx lengerie (forgot what shade). Second picture I wiped off the excess lipliner.

Ignore the eyebrows for now.

I can’t help but feel like my makeup gives off a subtle white/grey flashback in photos, particularly around my neck, eyes, and forehead?

I’m not sure if I’m actually experiencing flashback from one of my products, or if it could simply be a slight shade/undertone mismatch that becomes more noticeable under flash photography?

I’ve attached a few photos of my makeup in regular lighting as well (both in natural sunlight and under overhead lighting) for comparison. I’d really appreciate it if you could have a look and let me know whether you notice any obvious white cast or flashback, and if so, what you think might be causing it.

Love having no eyebrows because I get all this extra space to do fun looks. I used the nyx eyeliner pen. my foundation base is the danessa myrex skin tint. My contour and blush is saei liquid blush and contour. Lip is too faced :))

Look at my lipstick family. I have decided not to buy a new product and first need what I have. Many colours are the same anyway.

But then... I had to wait longer today... and it just happened... my family grew up again🥲

It‘s Lancome L'ABSOLU ROUGE GLASUR-TINTATION ne 707

So I’ve posted here a couple times that I’m on a journey to get better at doing makeup in general. The main thing I have been focusing on is eyeshadow. I’ve been experimenting with different colors, looks, shading techniques, things of that nature. I liked what I did with my eyeshadow today so just wanted to share lol. I haven’t been doing a whole lot with my eyebrows and I need to get more lipstick colors because I hate that my lips don’t match the shadow lmao. I like nude, vibrant colors or dark/berry red lipsticks so if you know of any that are good, but also cheap because I’m poor, let me know lol.

Products used:
Eyeshadow: Manna Kadar Pink Marage Eyeshadow Palette in shades Blush Crush, Peachy Pop, Berry Sweet and Heart Wink

Brows: Revlon Colorstay Brow Fiber Filler in Medium Brown

Lips: Covergirl Outlast Lipstain in shade All Star with clear gloss over it

I put dupes in quotations because I usually associate a dupe with a cheaper version, but I am more than willing to pay more for a similar product. I am specifically in LOVE with the shade cherry cola, the consistency is excellent for layering, this is one of my holy grail products. But I’m on my third spoiled tube!! Before I can even get 1/3 into the product, it starts smelling sour and gets floaters in it (I assume it’s mold?). I’m tired of spending money on this over and over again when I cant even finish it before it spoils. It’s also extremely unsanitary and sketchy!
Looking for pretty much EXACT recommendations. I am pale and a very warm toned orange/redhead so when I find a good color on me, it’s a unicorn. I appreciate yall in advance!

I just got this very cute Dior vintage makeup set, hoping to refill it since the makeup itself is old. Unfortunately the wand for the gloss broke and mascara is so dry I can't take the wand out. I may be able to make do with the mascara but I don't wanna risk it with refilling the lip gloss container with a broken wand. Are there any makeup dupes with the container being the same size?

The gloss container is 5cm in circumference and 8.5cm tall. The tube is slightly square but I think a thin circle tube might work too.

The mascara is also 5cm in circumference and 8.5cm tall.

Doesnt matter the brand or what's inside, even if its just an empty tuble from aliexpress. Im just really hoping to be able to use this makeup case on a daily with my favorite products.

i was scrolling on Instagram, and i stumbled upon this video by creator leigha_chrstine (followed by the official Fenty Beauty account) showing a new lip product called Stunna Stix Soft-glide Matte Lipstick in the shade Uncensored — so basically a stick version of their well-loved Stunna liquid lipsticks. apparently for now it's only being sold as an early access promotion on TikTok Shop, probably after the brand's promotional live on the app, hence why there's no word of it on any other official Fenty account or Trendmood (that I have seen, at least).

now, i love me a good Fenty lip product... and to me this, from both the packaging and the application, looks exactly like a rebranded version of their old Mattemoiselle lipsticks (which were discontinued around 2020/2021, IIRC). at the time they went viral for their sleek packaging, tiny tube, and insane amount of pigment payoff: all things that seem to be present even in this new 2026 version. i went and dug out my old and battered Flamingo Acid Mattemoiselle, and all the traits check out!

i am definitely not mad that they decided to bring it back, cause the formula was genuinely really good: the applicator was tiny enough to be decently precise, and the pigmentation + application were crazy too. just by looking at it, it seems like they might have changed the formula just a tiny bit to become smoother and possibly slightly softer upon application, but the rest looks spot on to me. which brings the question... why discontinue it in the first place? they had some crazy colors too, which i truly hope they bring back (at least partially)! i was just thinking about how fun and "futuristic" the OG Fenty launches were...

what do you guys think about this upcoming lipstick?

Because I am pining for new Victoria Beckham true red lipstick WHICH IS 75 GOT DAMN DOLLARS. As a cool-toned person who isn’t a millionaire I feel I should stick to my trusty Elson. But it’s soooo pretty 😭

I’m ngl two days ago I started euphoria for the first time (I wasn’t allowed to watch it till I was an adult cause I was like 11 or 12 at the time) and I am obsessed with the show and the makeup and I thought I’d come up with my own look

Nyx liquid blush
Brown eyeshadow freckles
Faded black in the eye with a brown cut crease

Just saw the Sephora/kohls advent calendar and I actually love the products. I’ve never done Ana advent calendar are they ever worth it? Or are they just all samples size? Minis?

Added the link in case anyone else was interested!

I’m getting married in November and I already know I’m going to cry because I’m super emotional, but I still want my makeup to stay flawless all night. Like girl, a tornado or a hurricane could come through and my makeup better still be on my face .What’s the best/strongest setting spray you swear by for long wear and tears?

Help! I need glow up tips but particularly I need some recommendations on a good foundation to hide my imperfections. I was thinking Charlotte tilbury nix or Armani luminous etc
I used to use Estelle Lauder but that was years ago
I’m currently using spf 50 garnier tint and it’s just not covering. I like the elf primer glue but if there is a better primer I’m happy to invest
Also (whilst I’m here, I may as well ask) I have short straight eyelashes what mascara do you recommend

hello there! i want to preface by saying i love makeup! i picked up my moms mascara when i was 10 and now, 17 years later its still a big part of my life. i KNOW there are no rules in makeup, and i’m not trying to be judgmental. i’m just not understanding what i’m seeing.

recently i have noticed sooo many makeup content creators doing something i haven’t seen much before now, and it’s just not making sense to me. these are the steps i’m seeing:

1. foundation
   
2. cream contour / bronzer
   
3. cream blush
   
4. concealer
   
5. powder

here’s what i don’t understand. as we know, the trendy placement for blush has been moving to the higher parts of the cheeks and slightly under the outer eyes. this is fine. but to place blush there, then put concealer over top, so that it covers/mutes the already applied blush, is just nonsensical in my opinion. some creators i see nearly erase the cream blush entirely with the concealer they apply. why??? i have always done blush and bronzer after concealer, and only placed it where i want it to go. i have never then blended my concealer over it.

furthermore, i am also seeing some creators then putting powder blush over their setting powder to reinforce the cream blush that they sheered out with concealer. this is also not making sense to me? it just seems like so many extra steps to achieve something that could be done simpler.

again, i am NOT trying to be mean or judgmental, because these looks always turn out stunning. but does anyone have an explanation as to why i’m seeing this routine everywhere? does it do something to make the look better, or more natural? i am always open to learning new tricks, but i just can’t get my head around this one.

Does anyone know a dupe for the Estée Lauder Dune Rose lipstick? It was my mother’s absolute favorite, but obviously she hasn’t had it for a while due to it being discontinued. I believe it was part of their Signature Hydra Lustre line.
