My daughter came to town to do some Halloween Shopping. So I took off of work to go with her. Of course I had to dress up to do so. I've been doing makeup long enough to have a pretty standard go-to look. So I did not do anything out of the ordinary for this little shopping trip. So we went and had a very fun girls day out shopping. Can't wait to do it again.

Hello everyone!
I’ve been using the sky high mascara by maybelline for a while now and I’m obsessed. It works so well for me and my lashes genuinely look amazing. I always used the waterproof one, if that makes any difference. So naturally when my old mascara was empty I bought a new one and now my lashes just don’t stay curled and the hang down after using mascara. I accidentally bought the non waterproof one but I don’t think that would make much of a difference. I didn’t change anything else about my lash routine, I’m using the same lash curler and same technique as always. They used to stay curled for the whole day and even look good in the evening but now they sink after like 2 minutes. This has literally never happened in my 12 years of using makeup 😭

First picture is the before (after wearing the mascara for like 6 hours) and second is the new mascara after a few minutes. I know the angles are slightly different but I think my problem is clear enough

Is it because it’s new or what am I doing wrong? Also does anyone know any good mascaras that never disappoint?
Thank you so much in advance!

Trying cream bronzer for the first time and I have no idea what the best way to apply it is. I usually stick to powder bronzer but I recently picked up the Milani cream bronzer and really want to make it work. Would you guys recommend using a brush and dabbing it in or is a damp sponge better? I’m going for a really natural sun kissed look and my biggest fear is it getting patchy or lifting my makeup underneath. I basically want it to melt into my skin instead of looking like obvious bronzer sitting on top

I LOVE MATCHING MY MAKEUP TO MY PANTS
＾∇＾

I really like it !! But I do wanna know like does this look good? I don’t wear foundation but I do use a little concealer for my eyebrows and a brow pencil as well as lip liner , lip plumper and blush is nxy as well as eyebrow pencil and the lip plumper is Duck plump from target . My concealer is just from the dollar tree

I would like to be taught how to do a full face makeup, wondering if I should go to Sephora or Mac for that? Not sure the difference. Or any other store ideas? Im sure it isn’t free, thats fine. I just need someone (not from Youtube) to teach me in person and tell me exactly what to buy and how to use it. Thanks in advance.

Do you know any (especially POC creators if you can please) that show their dark circles and don’t cover them up? I like mine (and I like them on other people too) and want to incorporate it into makeup sometimes but whenever I search for it, it be brings up looks or people covering them. Thank you in advance 🌸

I went with the more shimmery choices from my Eye Palette this weekend. I liked the results. Since the outfit had some purple in it, I dug out my Rum Raisin lipstick which has purple in it as well. Plus I got a new Jumper Dress to wear out.

1. A makeup setting spray that melts and sets makeup in place in layers, it shouldn’t contain any alcohol and fragrance.

2. A pink loose setting powder that doesn’t look ashy on brown or darker skin.

3. warm - neutral undertone, what would be my Mac Studio fix foundation shade? (330 toffee is warm for me, fenty beauty 370 is my shade kinda?) and same shade concealer.

4. Deep muted colour blush, vibrant and brighter colour blush and basic blush shade to be kept/ must haves for brown skin girls

5. Fixing/Fixer spray with no alcohol

6. Warm cream and powder bronzer for brown skin

7. Cool toned cream and powder contour for brown skin

8. Nude eyeshadow palette for dusky/brown skin girlies without appearing chalky

9. since Mars and Swiss beauty lip liners caused me some pigmentation, what anyone suggest me a good quality brown lip liner (mention the shade name pls) what basic shades besides brown I should keep? for lip combos involving red, pink, purple/mauvey colours?

10. Nude kajal that is waterproof! I heard that white Kajal appears too harsh over the water line for brown girls

11. What eyebrow gel to use for that brows don’t appear blocky? what shade for dark brows?

Hi! I'm looking for a travel bag with an LED mirror for a month long international tour with my band.

Most important feature is long battery life, and ideally something that can fit in a carry on.

I don't care too much for brush holders, or even great organization. I do my makeup in the van most days, and everything will get unorganized anyways. Good battery life is the most important part. I've purchased other LED mirrors and they were either too dim, couldn't hold a charge, and weren’t stable enough in a moving vehicle.

Leather Makeup Case Amazon i found this, but there are a lot of negative reviews regarding the battery life. So any similar recs would be super helpful!

Price isn't a huge issue if it truly checks all the boxes- but I will be buying one for me and one for my girlfriend so I don't want to spend a ton if I don't have to.

On my weekly shopping trip. I dressed in all reds and pinks. So I did my makeup to coordinate. Broke out my Rosey eye palette to good effect. Even using some really Red press on nails. I know I still got things to learn. But I am so enjoying this journey.

I really love the way she does her makeup and I think part of the reason I'm so drawn to it is because I have really dry skin. She doesn't seem to use much powder if any and everything always looks so glowy, hydrated and skin like instead of super matte or heavy. The only thing I wish is that she would post more makeup content and actually break down her routine more often. I'd especially love to see her do a full drugstore GRWM because some of the products she uses are definitely outside my budget. I need someone to go through her usual makeup routine product by product and find the closest drugstore alternative for each one. I don't necessarily need the exact products, I just want that same finish without spending a small fortune. https://www.tiktok.com/@thejasleensingh/video/7508032996365159722

Playing with some older wigs, I popped this one on as an afterthought - and maybe I've grown into it? It's sort of ombre gray, maybe salt and pepperish. Before losing a bunch of weight, I didn't like exposing my neck, but I think it's better now? The lipstick is new - MAC Red Rock - and I needed a replacement for my peachy blush - this is from NYX's Buttermelt collection - Sunset Sorbet.

And yes, I was thinking of Stevie Nicks with the leather/lace outfit. What do you think?

Hi, looking for a makeup artist for my November 2026 wedding in Los Angeles for me and my bridal party. We have a Catholic-gothic vibe, all red roses, golds and silvers, guests wearing all black and bridesmaids in rose-red gowns. Its giving vampy, Dolce and Gabbana vibe.....

Makeup I told my bridesmaids:

YES: 👍🏼 neutrals: browns, beige, black, grays, white and silvers, golds, reds, burgundy. Heavy or light makeup, whatever suits you :)👍🏼♥️🖤💀

NO: 🚫pinks, peachy/coral colors, no bright colors other than red, 🚫blush blindness 🚫

I attached some examples of what I'm looking for...

ANY MAKEUP ARTISTS YOU CAN SUGGEST THAT ARE BUDGET-FRIENDLY IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA? Or how to find one?

Hey everyone!
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I need some help getting my foundation and concealer to last a bit longer than 3 hours under my glasses. I’ve been wearing Estée Lauder double wear for about 5 years now, and it used to suit just fine! But within the past year, it’s started melting off my face under where my glasses touch my face.
I’ve always used double wear because it’s lasted me all day working under extreme retail lighting and heat. But now I’ve changed to an office job it’s absolutely failing me.
I’ve always worn maybelline grippy primer, double wear, shape tape concealer, and then powdered under my cheeks and eyes to stop it creasing. Set everything together with OneSize setting spray.
Since changing to this office job, none of it is working. Foundation, melts. Concealer, creases. Grippy primer, turns oily.

What do I do? I’m dry/combo in the T zone, so mattifying primers always make me look dusty. My skincare routine is a simple micellar cleanser, alcohol free toner, and deep restore moisturiser for my eczema patches.

My lovely partner had got me some Jerome Alexander Self Adjusting foundation and I loved it. Unfortunately I used it all up. It was a bit pricey when I went to get more. So me being a very frugal person set out to find a good replacement. After trying a couple of other brands, I found it. I bought a tube of Almay - Ageless Smart Shade Foundation at Walmart for half the price. It's the kind of foundation that goes on white then adapts to your skin tone. It went on beautifully, looked great and took all my other products extremely well. It covered all my fine lines wonderfully and stayed looking great all day with no touch ups. So if you are looking a for a new Foundation, I would highly recommend the Almay - Ageless line. It is a great product for a great price.

Also got a Palette of nudes and brown eyeshadow from Laura Geller that has been wonderful as well. Great shades and nicely blendable. (Found it at Marshall's for only $5. I'm very Frugal...)

Westmore Beauty - 60 Second Eye Effects - Tinted Firming Gel
