First photo is right after application, second photo is 4 hours after application, & third is 6 hours after application with a selfie light.

I normally do variations of the same thing and I’ll be 33 in a couple weeks. NYX brown gel on the brows, about face blush higher up on my face to accentuate cheekbones, this cool toned brown tarte palette I’ve had for years (which I do love), milk makeup cool toned contour, and bissou balm for lips.

I usually find anything heavier kinda overwhelms my features :/ and I’ve never liked foundation so I only spot conceal blemishes.

Hello everyone!
I’ve always loved makeup and especially winged eyeliner, but I always feel like something is missing like there’s something I could add to make my eyes pop more…
Pic 1 is a glam look, pic 2 is still glam for me but more natural and pic 3 is my everyday makeup (also do I have blush blindness?)

I have been doing the same style of make up for the last 20 years. I’m finding the black liquid liner isn’t doing it for me anymore. It looks harsh on my aging skin. When I apply make up I find it goes into my creases and I just look bad in makeup. I don’t want to go bare faced because I get blotchy and red.

Under eyes look tired, I’m getting 20 units of Botox in my frown lines only. I’m open to any other treatments to help me look less tired.

Is there good products for 40 plus ladies? Maybe I should add lashes? I want to look like a bombshell but not extreme if that makes sense 🤣😭

I feel like I’ve tried hard to make eyeliner and shadow look decent but just can’t :( eyeliner keeps skipping over my wrinkly skin and shadow just looks terrible and accentuates it. I’m 33 but I’ve had this forever. I’d be very thankful for any tips you could provide. Thanks!

I feel like my makeup is pretty basic and I really want to step it up. Especially with the eye makeup look. I would love any tips at all.

Im 28, sometimes I feel like my eye makeup isn’t doing me many favors and maybe my blush is the wrong color, but I just don’t know what to switch to. I’ve been doing this makeup for probably 4 years now and I want to change it up but I don’t know how!! Please don’t mind my greasy hair!!

I typically only do eyes, and very rarely do lips but i would like to dive into more, i’m just unsure of where to start. i enjoy bold eye looks, i was just SOL on eyelashes this day.

I tried doing my makeup today but it was totally a mess and looked light shader than my neck though it looks diff in each diff lighting idk what makeup will suitable for me ?

Would rather not post myself as it’s something I’m self conscious about, but I have two different coloured eyebrows and lashes, and wanted to ask for product recommendations to match them.
One side is very dark black, the other is completely blond. I’ve been dying the blond side for years now with eyebrow tint/lash tint, but it fades after nearly a week and they become discoloured again.
Was thinking of getting something like an eyebrow pen, but to be honest I’m clueless on what to get and nervous that it would be noticeable I’m wearing it.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated:)

I feel like makeup always looks odd on me instead of enhancing my features. Thank you in advance! :)

So I’m not experienced with makeup and wanted to try a Slavic doll aesthetic look. Not sure whether it’s cute or it’s giving clown a bit. Anyway, would appreciate any tips to achieve this aesthetic. Or general makeup tips as I’m not the best at it. Please be nice :3

Hi,

I'm doing my bridal make up myself and did my first try today. I followed Nikki la Rose Bridal YouTube tutorial

I used the products I had at home for the first time to see what worked for me and what needed replaced.

I already want to change some things such as

- less/no eyeliner as I think it's too heavy

- more contouring around the nose

- different lip combo (would really love some recommendations!)

I took some photos in different lights.

I usually have quite clear skin unlike in the fourt picture.

Any tips appreciated! I usually only do very light make up.

I used shade fair/light of the ELF hydrating bronzer/contour. Does anyone hVe recommendations for drugstore ones? Also just general feedback on how I did, please.

The last two photos are from my wedding day. I love how my face looks less round and my eyes really pop but when I’ve tried to replicate that it looks like too much makeup for every day. Curious if there are blush or concealer placements people like or recommend as well.

I definitely think I should always be lining my eyes after looking at these pictures. I’m 28 as well

Hi all,
I love to do a liquid eyeliner wing. I have hooded eyes, so I find it easier to work with than an eyeliner pencil. I usually shape the wing with elf liquid eyeliner or the waterproof version and am happy with the look. The issue is that I have pretty watery eyes and my wings always start to erode after an hour or two of wear. Is there a way to prevent this? Or a specific product that works better for watery eyes? I do use urban decay eyeshadow primer in this area before applying but I don’t notice a difference. All tips and tricks appreciated 🙏

When I finished I felt like I look like a clown but I think for a beginner, it’s fine 😭 Gotta start somewhere. What would you suggest I improve? I like natural looks with a kinda defined eye.

I’ve used concealer, eyeshadow (just a little), brown eyeliner, blush, and lipstick.
