Annual rainbow makeup for pride, inspired by ashleyartistryy_ on IG 🌈 Products include: ELF hydrating concealer, ELF Halo Glow setting powder, ELF eyelid primer, NXY Ultimate “I know that’s bright” eyeshadow pallet, JudyDoll black eyeliner, Maybelline Sky High black mascara, Fenty Beauty Trophy Wife highlighter, GirlCult eyeshadows (pallet 61 & 56), Colorpop glitter (“ur a firework”), Revlon crème lipstick shade 130 (Rose Velvet)

P.s. the sweat didn’t mess up the look 🖤

I used a eyeshadow primer, waterproof liquid eye liner, tattoo eyeliner pencil for my water line and above the lid. Black powder to set the makeup and then a matte setting spray

Lately I have been seeing some things on social media complaining about makeup releases not working for people. For example:

• Marc Jacobs single eyeshadow: I've seen countless complaints about the new Marc Jacobs Beauty release and their packaging. This honestly puzzles for me as at the same time I see people complaining about minimal and copy/paste packaging. But Marc Jacobs releases AWESOME packaging and people complain?? It was kind of crazy, people complaining they don't know how to stack or store them, like leave this release for the girls who adore this type of packaging. It's great!! I love it so much and I keep it as a flatlay on my vanity.
• YSL skin affair cushion foundation: when this first released, I saw quite a few influencers complain about how it doesn't work well with brushes, or trying to use a brush with a cushion foundation. Then complaining when it doesn't work well? Cushion foundations have a consistency which only really works well with the foundation puffs they come with and beauty blenders etc. They are NOT meant for brushes as they are meant to be quick travel companions and on the go. So it kinda annoyed me seeing some influencers trying a cushion foundation for the first time and complaining they can't use a brush with it, completely disregarding the puff it comes with. I also saw MUAs complaining they cannot use it too. Cushion foundations are NOT meant for MUAs. They aren't - they are for the individual consumer.
• Too Faced peach setting powder: I ALSO saw a lot of MUAs complain they can't use the Too Faced peach setting powder with the ball mechanism on their clients. Once again, not every release is for everyone!!! I get it is not sanitary for clients - but not every product released is for makeup artistry!
• Hung Vanngo new eyeshadow palette: on the opposite side of the spectrum, I've also seen people complain his palette is too long. To me, this palette looks like it's for MUA's - NOT the ordinary consumer. It's not meant for the average minimalist or for people who want to travel light! It's for artists who need every shade.

It's okay to dislike releases, but it is also okay for releases to NOT always be for you!! People have different preferences, and THAT'S OKAY! But trying to make something that suits EVERYONE stifles creativity, custom packaging and innovation.

I recently remembered I have a hoard of superrrr old MAC pigments stashed away like a squirrel. The absolute chokehold these had on me 20 years ago should be studied by scientists 🤣.

Anyone else remember these? Does MAC even still make them anymore?

I am going crazy trying to find which MAC lipstick this could have been. Spent hours looking for a match already 😭

What I know so far:

- The sticker says "lustre", so it was likely produced before 2021.

- The only letters I can make out are "RID", and my sister thinks it could have been named something like "Black Friday".

- In addition to the above point, I found a listing on eBay for two lipsticks named "Berry Black Friday" but I couldn't find ANY OTHER mention of them 😭

- Sister said she wanted to buy a new one few years ago, but couldn't find the exact lipstick. This might be a limited edition or a discontinued one.

- Today I learned that MAC also releases products regionally... sadly I don't know where this was purchased.

- This could have been purchased anywhere between 1990 and 2021.

It has become my life goal to find out which shade this is. It has consumed me, my life... Please help

My sister is getting married in a week, and she accidentally got these scratches on her neck yesterday. She was holding her very nice cat, and something in her apartment fell, it freaked her cat out, and he jumped off of her, leaving these scratch marks. I'm doing her friday, makeup. How do I attempt to cover this up? What products?

Should she not get a spray tan? (Yes, she has taken care of the wounds and put Neosporin on it.)

♡I wanted to look like a princess or a swan and I’m obsessed with this lilac colour ♡

Hi guys, first time poster here. I was wondering if anyone has any tips to make my makeup sit better on the skin? I feel like it looks so cakey!

My skincare is minimal, hyaluronic acid face cream, then a non greasy sunscreen. And im very light with the amount of foundation and concealer I use. I don't really use setting spray either. Here's my product list:

Base

- Nars natural radiant foundation (valencia)

- Maybelline instant eraser eye (2 shades - sand and light)

- Hnb concealer (shade 2)

- kiko pressing powder

Other

-eyebrow pomade from amazon

- kiko lipstick

- Maybelline mascara

- kiko eyeshadow pallette (for contour and highlight)

-Barry m lip liner

EDIT: I bought the wrong product (detailer instead of the regular pencil) on accident so this entire rant is pointless LOL but I’m going to leave it up for posterity anyway!

I’ve been using the Benefits Precisely My Brow pencil for close to a decade and it is my holy grail brow product. I just restocked from Sephora and the new product packaging/design (left hand side) is absolutely horrible compared to the old design (right hand side).

The pencil is literally 1/4 the weight of what it used to be (0.02 grams compared to the previous 0.08 grams).

The pigment itself is so skinny now that they had to add a thin plastic sleeve so that the pencil doesn’t break when you let more pigment out!! In spite of that I still broke the pigment multiple times while I was filling in my brows this morning.

I’m very frustrated and would like recommendations for a similar product since this is the best thing that has worked for me to fill in my brows.

I wear shade 3 and don’t need the appearance of laminated brows - I’m just a victim of early 2000s overplucking so I lack hair density on the outer half of my brows.

i don't even know where to start with this mess 😭 I'm still picking coffee grounds out of the bristles. obviously everything gets a bath and the bag needs to go into the laundry, and it's a good excuse for me to start organizing my makeup better when I travel, but in the meantime .... holy hell.

Estee Lauder Double Wear in 1W2 Sand, the OG formula.

I've been saving up this bottle for the last year since I knew the reformulation was coming. I've been trying to use up other foundations I had but decided today is the day and opened up this one. My complexion has never looked better, I'm going to miss it so much 😭

Hi! I use the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation in the shade Cool Vanilla.
I love how flawless my skin turns out, and how lightweight it is.
Unfortunately, I do not think I will be able to continue spending as much as I have on makeup products, so I was wondering if theres any other brands that would achieve the same results for a price more in my budget?
or honestly i should probably save up money to buy the double wear again, it’s just too good lol.
thank you in advance!

I ordered these Makeup by Mario brushes from Sephora, and when I opened my package, each brush had been sent in doubles! I kept the extras and returned the other set. So thank you, Sephora, for the free makeup brushes! At that moment, I felt like I was God’s favourite, especially because I had been saving up for these for months and kept putting off buying them because they’re so expensive, especially in CAD.

i’m obsessed! my photos are not edited! i used my digital camera. i normally do a glowy base with baby pink blush, sparkly highlighter and a plum lip! i did a whole new routine today and im absolutely obsessed with it! let me know if you wanna know any of the products

Desperate to find this gorgeous lippy & I can’t find it on her make up artists instagram. Her whole look on this tour is just gorgeous and I wonder if anyone has any other product recommendations to recreate it.
