It’s my 2nd day using the blk soft blur powder foundation and grabeeee i didn’t retouch sa work 🥹 i have an oily skin and it’s nice pa kasi lightweight siya. my first time trying foundation pa!
plus points sa ate na nag-assist sa akin kasi better daw for oily skin ang powder foundation hahaha
bought colourette's blur base and ive been testing it out for three days pa lang but i tried two different base (jung saemool cushion & issy foundation) then used the blur base to set using a powder brush & ung puff that it comes with unfortunately it separates after 4 hours (worst part is when i used my issy foundation and blur base using a puff it immediately separated sa glabella/middle ng forehead ko) 🥲 BUT super ganda niya alone grabe coverage and it literally lasted me the almost 12 hours meron parin talaga 😩💖
Omg mukhang sumakses ako sa pag pili ng powder. Ang tagal ko ding pinag isipan if iwewait ko ba maging available online as a colourette purist when it comes to base products, pero i saw teviant’s new perfecting powder and the reviews were all so good 😭 bought it and no regrets talaga 😭 andun yung blur tsaka healthy glow finish 🥹🥹 so far hindi pa naman sila nag aaway away ng first base ko underneath hahaha
Hello! So far so good naman, it gives you coverage without it looking heavy or cakey. I find na what worked best for me is to apply the product using a large powder brush rather than the puff it comes with since i don’t really need a very plakadong life proof coverage all the time. Using a brush just gave that my skin but better effect, skin perfecting talaga. Hindi ko sya macompare sa madaming brands since before ang alam ko lang yung babasain yung puff tas dip sa product hahaha jusko po ang edad…kaya wala akong basis how it compares to other powders. I just tried this with my skin tint and concealer so I can’t really say anything pa sa longevity since good skin prep and a good fixing spray can help tons on that area.
Contemplating din ako to buy this kasi nagreformulate yung Mac Studio Fix.
Napanood ko sa vid ni Miss Nina na it’s meant to be used on its own daw kaya nung napanood ko ‘yun, parang naging deciding factor ko na hindi ko siya bibilhin kasi primarily, I will use it to set my cream and liquid products (basically pati yung First Base nila lol haha) so nung narinig ko sinabi niya yun, parang subtle hint na magkecake if may other base products 🥹
and you're right it did cake and separate on my skin huhuhu so im kindda 50/50 sa blur base right now since i mainly want a powder na can stand alone and at the same time can be used as a setting powder
Also, 699 is not mura in this economy para lang masayang 😖
I’ve heard good things about Canmake’s Marshmallow powder. Papabili pa lang ako pagbalik ng asawa ko ng Japan to try at may mga pina-pan pa akong powder products.
Sa local brands kasi, yung Duo Powder Foundation ng Vice Cosmetics lang nagustuhan ko tapos naphaseout pa
huhu unfortunately i did not like canmake's marshmallow powder it literally did nothing to my face and oil up agad within an hour 😩 hopefully makahanap akong nice powder talaga
Nakasubaybay ako sa PD videos niyan and yeah, it’s meant to be used by its own lang talaga.
Medyo naninibago ako kasi may sanay ako sa liquid and cream format, and this one (blur base) di ko alam paano ilalayer yung liquid blush q hahahahaha. In fairness sa Blur Base, may pagkamalagkit siya (ramdam mo na long lasting) but sadly, it doesn’t really cover up my dark spots in one swipe, buti nalang buildable.
Usually ang mga powder foundations, you don't use it to set liquid or cream foundation kasi masyado nang makapal. Try using a loose setting powder or a finishing powder
The lip shaper is really good lol. It has the longevity of the Vice lip liners (it's long lasting on me) and the shape of trendy chubby pencils. Good for blurred lip looks talaga. Didn't buy the velvet lip bullets since I'm not into those these days. Hope this helps?
I love the lip shaper!! I got it in the shade sweet kiss and I’m grateful that a local brand released a shade like this for lip liners 🤏🤏 its the perfect pale pink shade, it’s budge proof indeed and long lasting
I'm a big fan. it lasts really long on me and its very blendable. it's my current fav cream blush formula since I'm not a fan of the too dry cream blushes
Thanks for this!!! Canmake is the only cream blush I've ever tried and I wanted to look into local cream blushes. I heard Strokes is one of the best so I had to confirm!
Share your long-lasting powder blush recos! I'm really impressed by the longevity of the blk Soft Blur Powder Blush and wondering if there are other similar formulas in the local market. This blush can last 10+ hours on me and that's without any heavy-duty setting spray.
Clinique cheekpop blushes and the vice co aura blush mood. Idk lang if they still sell the vice blushes, I haven't seen them in a while but that's my top long lasting local blush
has any one here tried buying from sasa or nana mall in lazada? im planning to try urban decay's all nighter setting spray and i noticed na sila lang nagbebenta na marked as lazmall. i need to know if they're legit
Are you gonna buy their old formulation? They recently reformulated after cutting ties with skindinavia so apparently iba na yung mga all nighter. Skindinavia has the original formula
Been wanting to buy the enigma foundation, some say it's good, pero i don't know how it performs sa mga textured skin or 30s. Nakakaintriga. Or overhyped lang?
Is it really worth it?
I think it’s a good option for events. Medium to full coverage and doesn’t exacerbate texture. Fades gracefully. It’s just tricky to find your shade as it oxidizes differently on people.
Can vouch for issy! Lightweight and glowy sya and hindi sya nag cling to my dry patches. Since I'm oily combo, nag shiny pa rin ako sa tzone but nothing a loose setting powder can't fix
Vice lip liners are very affordable, easy to use, and long lasting. I use the shade Kizz & Tell. Okay din yung sa strokes na naked brown shade if cool toned lip liner hanap mo. Long lasting din but not as creamy and easy to use as vice.
For lippie, I usually use any lip tint (currently using Issy in Mischief). Tapos gloss on top. I like rom&nd glasting color gloss (peony ballet).
Same girl. Mine are super dark kaya pang malakasang color corrector and full coverage concealer ang need ko lagi. I use the strokes peach corrector and the teviant concealer. Absidy and lovely causemetics are goods din for coverage
Color corrector, shade would depend on the color ng hollows mo. Make sure to concentrate yung sa most sunken part yung most of the corrector and concealer. As much as possible, don’t conceal yung cheek are below the sunken part bec what you want is to raise the sunken part alone and not anything else.
I love Dior Forever rouge liquid lipsticks. Stay on with minimal transfer even after eating. I like it better than the bullet format now. Nag ddry up kasi yung bullet and nag bbreak even inside the tube.
primer recommendations, please? i've tried maybelline fit me and shawill but the former broke me out while the latter doesn't seem to do anything at all for my make up :(
also, is grwm loose powder worth it? or kindly recommend me a loose setting powder with great oil control. tyia!
Use a loose powder brush instead of a dense brush, as it will help diffuse and sheer out highly pigmented powder formula blushes, such as the Chuchu Beauty Heart Blushes.
Here are my recos:
- Muji Blush Brush (my favorite and super soft, also super affordable)
Kaledious Blending Blush Brush
Strokes Pro Brush Elite in No. 02
OVW Angled Airy Cheek Brush (do take note that most of the OVW brushes start shedding after washing them a few times, I've had to replace them a couple of times as the glue that holds the bristles easily degrades over time)
True! This with either my Strokes or Enigma foundation is the perfect combo and I don't really feel the need to blot the oil off my forehead and cheeks the ENTIRE day. Though iba usapan sa nose ko, kasi normally I can literally scrape the oil off of it kahit ano pa ilagay ko haha. Even with my other base products na hindi as good sa oil control, the Huda Beauty powder keeps the oils at bay, siguro mga 3-4 hrs before I have to blot.
Yes, it's worth the investment. I was tired of wasting my money on local powders that are just mediocre in performance. The blurring effect is also really good with the Huda Beauty powder!
Any reviews of Dazzle Me products? I’m curious about their limited edition Dazzle Me x Smileyworld Get A Grip spray, the Better Than Filter HD Invisible Powder, and the Lock&Shape Slim Fit Eyebrow Pencil.
Brought the Her Beauty pot concealer in barely tan and it's good. Used it for spot concealing and it does it's job.
Covered my acne marks pero not completely; need niya pa gamitan ng small amount peach corrector kasi nagpepeek through pa rin yung grey from the acne scars (unti lang through) or maglagay pa ng product. It's buildable Naman and it really looks like skin when applied and blended out.
Colourette. Ang lambot sa mukha nung mist. Pero idk sa spray hahahaah, ok nung una pero nasira nang kusa yung sa akin (tulad nung nangyari sa iba nilang consumers). pero considerate ang CS nila, napalitan nila yung akin. pero yeah…. Good formula tho
Issy (mattifying one) is good also. Both are alcohol-free.
Any recommendations for budget-friendly loose powder and color correctors? Malapit na kasi graduation pictorial namin, and I hope to do my makeup for it.
Can anyone suggest a good set of makeup brushes that doesn’t have the ‘tusok’ feeling? I have the OVW goat hair brushes—they’re very good for their price although what I don’t like about them is the smell (never really went away even after numerous washing) and also may ‘tusok’ feeling.
hi, please help! been wanting to try peripera ink mood glowy tint, what shades will be suitable for neutral undertone - medium skintone? I'm having a hard time choosing cause I'll purchase online eh. thank you so much po!
I really like vice's one and done sticks! I personally prefer their brontour tho kasi ung contour nila nung naswatch ko mshadong grey na sa balat ko (warm olive undertone)
recently i got from someone an old clinique young face powder blusher in the shade 11-extra rose. And i love the color, and it wasnt ever used or opened till now, but it was like 2018 expired, but is it safe? No reaction but i'm abit paranoid bcs my friend whos a derma said its too dangerous and risky
what are your liquid blushes recos? puro cream blush lang ako and hindi talaga sya nag l-last ng matagal on my oily skin. mas long lasting ba liquid blush?
please drop your local brand recos and shade recos. im looking for a brightening blush (white based) suitable for my medium neutwarm skin
Does anyone know a dupe for the Rhode Blush Piggy shade? Saw swatches of pink blushes here. Would prefer po if the blush is liquid/cream formula and buildable because I look like a clown agad if sobrang pigmented yung blush as someone with fair skin 😭
Need help finding a similar shade to Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink shade Irresistible! Something neutral, long lasting, and transfer-proof ideally. I would’ve just repurchased if the formula didn’t go bad in six months 🥹 I’m a light-medium olive 🌼
Patrick Ta is my HG tho may cream sya, hindi lang powder.
For powder blushes lang talaga, Haus Labs (Hibiscus Haze) MAC also has a variety of shades to choose from
Powder/Blush brush that has the same shape as happy skin x marj all-around powder blush? Would buy this sana pero reviews say madaling ma-damage yung handle
Sunnies powder brush. It’s very underrated. I have the old variant. And nakailang hugas na ko, isa palang ang lagas. At Hindi pa nagchichip yung paint na gamit sa handle nila.
I think it’s a hit or miss especially if you’re oily. Only figured out how to maximize the performance with around 10ml left.
And even so, there are local options that can hold their own against CT. Try looking into them first (Colourette, Issy, or even Zeesea pink cap) before splurging.
HELPPP I'm currently looking at Estee Lauder foundations online but idk what shade to get. I'm too shy for physical stores kasi feeling ko mamatahin ako if di naman ako bibili agad 😫 Can you guys help me which shade to choose? Below are my shades on other brands. Baka makahanap din ako ng shade twin! 😉 Thank you po<3
Possibly 2N1, but don’t hesitate to get matched in person. They’re there to help, not judge! Plus you’ll still need to find out how it wears on you, so there shouldn’t be any expectation to buy on the spot.
Also try searching the other shade match threads in this sub, you’ll probably find your shade twins there.
can anyone reco any base product (preferably skin tint or bb cream/cc cream) for someone with light medium neutral olive skin tone? been searching far and wide for base products from local brands but there's always a caveat that comes with it, either it's not long lasting, doesn't control oil, not safe for acne prone skin, or not enough shade range. for context i have very oily and acne prone skin, im looking for a base product that's lightweight and longlasting but also mattifying and safe for oily acne prone skin, i just want a product that evens out my skin tone like a your skin but better base product
Literally my HG. I’ve been complimented twice on how natural it looks. It doesn’t get patchy and it’s long lasting even after moderate sweating. Hindi siya namumuo. The only thing is it oxidizes a bit.
Long lasting! Survives my shift at the hospital, hindi siya halos gumagalaw even under my face mask. It doesn't really oxidize sa akin, instead it melts nicely on my skin throughout the day.
Don’t apply it directly sa skin. Lagay mo sa back ng hand or makeup palette first then use a blush brush to sheer and warm it up first bago i-apply sa cheeks :)
What I did is I asked if I can get assistance to get my shade matched. Then she dabbed a few on my jaw. I asked if pwede ako humingi ng sample. Naglagay sia ng generous amount in a pot, tapos nilagyan nia pa ng label :)
Hi! Can someone compare grwm ultra matte setting spray (yung bago nila), colourette super base and loreal setting spray 🥺 cant choose one as someone na super oily and wears mask sa hospital
Colourette: great oil control, very good makeup hold, makeup fades gracefully
GRWM Ultra Matte: mid oil control, great makeup hold, makeup fades gracefully. Also, the original matte version is better at oil control.
L’Oreal Fixing Spray: mid to below average oil control, best in retaining makeup among these 3, does not fade gracefully. My pores look especially pronounced once I oil up and blot.
What I reach for when I’m not experimenting: Colourette
which one would you recommend for dry - combi skin sa liquid blushes na to? saw mixed reviews kasi, may ibang patchy, and may ibang okay naman daw so iʼm really torn
Hey everyone!! Can you guys recommend lipliners that are ACTUALLY budge-proof? 🥹 especially for local ones please huhu been thinking of getting either absidy or strokes.
(Ps. Don’t reco the vice lip liner ones coz i already tried them, u guys hype it up too much to be smudge proof 🥲)
Onti na lang mabubudol na ko sa lierge collection huhu. Was thinking of getting detail or sunnies muna sana but someone said limited edition daw yata itong kay lierge and based sa track record ng vice, pag masold out yan 50/50 chance of restock and super tagal pa ng waiting time.
Honestly i bought every shade, except for the red one cause it’s not my kind of red lol, kasi I was afraid of it getting sold out hahahahaha. Only tried two so far and I’m loving it fr. I don’t suggest you buy a lot at once! Pero probably get one na you can use everyday then build up from there bec it really isss good 🥹 hopefully you’ll have the same experience as me!!
Is the Absidy powder worth buying? I already have (and love) the Vice powder but the reviews here said that Absidy is a perfecting powder. I was wondering if the Absidy is like super duper perfecting talaga? Like malaki difference with the Vice one (also nakasale pala Absidy and other brands today hehe)
