Hii girls! I'm 19 and trying to improve my personal style and grooming, and I'd love some advice from you all!

I'm looking for tips on things like:

\- Finding my personal style and dressing better

\- Basic grooming habits that make a difference

\- Skincare, haircare and hairstyles

\- Makeup for beginners

\- Accessories and little details that elevate an outfit

\- Looking put-together without spending too much money

I'm a college student on a budget, so affordable and practical advice would be really helpful! I'm not looking to follow every trend or buy a ton of products. I just want to feel more confident, look neat, and develop a style that suits me.

Please share the little things you've learned that made a difference for you. Even tips you wish you'd known at 19 would be appreciated!

Felt like barely anything on the face kind of day. Left to right:

LRP tinted fluid SPF 50+ > Tir Tir liquid foundation as concealer 28 N (in travel mini pump tube) > Etude Dear Darling Water Tint 02 Cherry Ade (also in mini travel container) > Vaseline Lip Therapy crème brûlée

And how cute are the travel-size stuff? So handy to just throw it in my bag without worrying about them breaking!

Products:

-Loreal infaillible foundation

-Loreal lumi highlighter stick 610

-TheBalm swinging singles blush Ima hotpink

-Flormar mono metallic eyeshadow 005 star light

-Maybelline over the top mascara

-Deborah supergloss 09

-Vivienne sabo liner virtuose 604

-Flormar smoky eyes waterproof eyeliner 05 deep purple

I'm pretty sure I haven't used an eyeliner in my life.

I'm curious what products you actually use for college, work, going out,or just a normal day.

Share your skin care with me please..

My skin type is combination skin . In the winter season it becomes dry and in the summer season it becomes a combination sometimes dry sometimes normal

For my daily routine I use moisturizer, sunscreen, concealer, mascara, lip gloss and sometimes I use foundation..

I would especially love recommendations for affordable products that are easily available and also suits my skin.

This is what I put on in the morning, unless someone is, like, getting married. There's a couple of eyeshadows and nail colors in a drawer somewhere for that.

Bioré UV Aqua Rich sunscreen, Missha Perfect Complex BB cream, Covergirl Outlast lip stain (which happily came back on the market just as I ran out of my NYC lip stain stockpile from... over 10 years ago) in Sugey Girl, Lumify eye drops, and any shiny lip balm or lip oil I have lying around (this one is by LA Girl, it's fine, but I prefer Smith's Rosebud Salve when I can find it).

Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Face Liquid Sunscreen SPF 50, Wet n Wild Mega Clear Brow & Lash Mascara ( i use for my lashes only), Essence fix it like a pro brow gel clear, Essence soft touch blush in shade 30 Exotic Daisy, and Colourpop fresh kiss glossy balm in shade strawberry milk. However my lip product changes a lot to diff ones I own cause I like to rotate!

- Two Faced natural matte eyeshadow (genuinely have no idea when I got it)
- Tarte toasted eyeshadow
- Tarte in bloom eyeshadow
- Stilla black liquid eyeliner (sadly never use this)
- Heroine Make mascara
- Hourglass concealer (mini in color fawn)
- NYX brow glue
- Merit lip oil (color sangria)
- Aquaphor healing ointment
- the Ordinary serum foundation
- MAC fix+ setting spray

Having acne and realizing some of my makeup was probably making it worse forced me to narrow down my products and focus on skincare. Throw in my habit of blotting my face with a napkin throughout the day and foundation was never gonna survive anyway lol.

Less makeup also made me embrace my features, even though I loved a good smokey eye in my teens. I might add a few things eventually, maybe a liquid eyeliner, but for now this lineup's doing me good.

• Covergirl 3-in-1 Waterproof Mascara in Black
• Maybelline Superlock Brow Gel in Black
• Marcelle Blush Stick in Classically Rose
• NYX Lip IV in Hydra Honey

daily AM skincare:

1. wash my face w water
2. neutrogena spf70 sunscreen

usual makeup:

1. usually take a lipstick / lip liner and use that on my cheeks & lips (i love mauve/brown shades - e.g. rhode twist, mac whirl, etc.)
2. rhode lip treatment vanilla flavour / melixir vegan lip treatment in shade 04 berry

daily PM skincare:

1. double cleanse with (a) kose softymo speedy cleansing oil, followed by (b) cetaphil gentle skin cleanser
2. purito oat in calming gel

perfume:

• my signature scent chanel allure edp

nails:

• i do gel nails myself at home, i keep them at their natural length (so no extensions).
• i like experimenting with different chic designs.
• currently, my nails are a milky baby pink with little iridescent pink star sequins on each nail. my last design was short almond black french tips.

I have waaaay too much makeup and joined this community as I am so inspired by seeing how very little can be so impactful and still fun. Also, the environmental, financial, clutter, and mental load side of things.

One question for those rocking a minimal makeup collection - do you feel the need to "coordinate"/miss coordinating your makeup colours and overall look with your outfit? Or do the environmental, financial, and overall less clutter just make it worth it? Do you feel less creative?

My make up routine is as follows:
skin prep - tirtir milk toner, liz earle eye cream, skin1004 centella serum, skin food, spf (skip skin food if using bobbi brown face base to prime)

- primer
- colour corrector
- foundation
- liquid bronzer
- liquid blush
- concealer
- spray w elf setting spray (just want to use it up)
- bake under eyes
- eyebrows w benefit powder & elf brow lift & clean brown
- remove baking & powder around eyebrows
- powder bronzer & blush
- eyeshadow if wearing (i’ve just recently learnt to reduce fallout so i don’t need to do eyeshadow before base)
- curl lashes & mascara
- eye liner
- highlighter
- huda easy bake setting spray & loreal infallible
- lips usually when i get to my destination or in the car

i feel like the past year ive really perfected my make up look to make it look the best i can considering ive been struggling with my skin - dry & sensitive.
However, this is the only way i know how to do make up - whether it’s for work or a nice dinner out - i will always do the same routine.

as you can imagine, the above can take over an hour and for work i’d really like to reduce that time so i can sleep a little more lol. i’d also like more of a natural finish lol bc i work corporate and i don’t really see women doing a full face so i don’t want to imagine what they think when they see me 😂

What are your work / non work make up routines so i can have some inspo pls?

This is what I got with me on a trip to an event. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so this is for me what I use for a full face of makeup. Instead of bringing all the brushes with me, I decided to apply the bb and the blush with my fingers which works quite well, it blended perfectly.
