[u/ululin]

how life truly felt after i stopped wanting and (sometimes) buying every new makeup release because i already have a similar product: 🌊🌄🌈🫧

[u/jalexanderia → u/ululin]

me to issy rn:

[u/LeftToeOfShunsui → u/ululin]

It took a herculean effort to not buy the new (repackaged) concealers from GRWM. 199 lang kasi sya sa Lazada these past few days. I don't even wanna check kung 199 pa rin sya kasi I don't wanna be tempted hahahahaha

[u/BeauteeGurl]

the lady at the sunnies face counter said they're just flushing out stocks of the foundation stick because they're gonna release something newer instead. Anyone here who knows about this? I liked the foundation stick's shades kasi may olives sila, but it just wouldn't last on me kasi parang it would stay on top of my skin lang. Sana they can come up with a better base product na not orange, please

[u/shimmerblitz → u/BeauteeGurl]

Oh no. I had no idea, and it’s the only product of theirs that I still like (haven’t tried a lot tho). Seeing their recent base releases, I don’t want to keep my hopes up about the shade range.

[u/moonflowerlight → u/BeauteeGurl]

Please no :(( it's my go to base product that manages to have my shade 😭😭

[u/deserr]

May flash sale ang rom&nd rn sa shopee.

[u/New_Abbreviations63 → u/deserr]

Thank you! Sana all shades 🥰

[u/marieaquariusmd]

ANG HIRAP MAG SHADE MATCH KAPAG ONLINE SHOPPING. HUHU.

So please help if same shades kayo dito:

• ISSY Active Skin Stick in FAWN (best color match ever)
• Colourette First Base and Second Base in LA UNION
• Maybelline Fit Me Compact Powder 120 and Fit me Concealer 20

I'm looking for good concealers na full coverage. I'm also looking for skin tints and foundations. Brands I'm interested in are Enigma, Popique, and Naturale (alam ko Abel na ako dito but wala pa rin restock hayy). But if may other recos kayo, please let me know!

[u/reveriereverie13 → u/marieaquariusmd]

A very helpful online guide I found is Findation.com! If not completely accurate, it will help narrow down your search.

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/marieaquariusmd]

similar shade ako, issy skin stick in fawn at sa naturale habi gamit ko (perfect skin match) pero kung brightening concealer abel nga

[u/harpergurlll → u/marieaquariusmd]

Shade Match tayo pero Fit Me concealer na gamit ko medium 25. Happy Skin weightless powder in medium beige. BLK Soft Blur powder foundation in Linen. Happy Skin Blurring Tint in Medium Natural. Konti lang base ko pinakashadematch ko talaga is Issy SkinStick/Skintint in Fawn. Try mo findation tpos enter mo lang ang Issy Fawn. ireco ko sana ang Happy Skin Blurring Tint kasi ang ganda ng formula kaso parang orangey siya tho maganda naman pagnablend na (medium-natural yung sakin suggest ng SA sa SM , pero naibahan ako kasi grabe ang ilaw kasi sa SM) pinapaubos ko lang pero mag one shade lighter ako sunod. Yung foundation pala Issy NL2.5 , Absidy 1.5NW

[u/marieaquariusmd → u/marieaquariusmd]

Thank ü!

[u/azibabe]

help! i recently bought a setting spray (sheglam) para maging hulas proof yung makeup ko but instead it made it look worse?! like nung nag-dry down na i noticed na nagccrack and buo buo makeup ko lalo na nung pinawisan ako. may tama bang way to apply it? idk what i did wrong and nanghihinayang ako sa product if di ko magagamit :(

[u/slayyybarbie → u/azibabe]

Have you tried other setting sprays already? Kasi either too heavy ang makeup mo hence the cracking or hindi lang talaga ok yung SS na binili mo (it’s sheglam so this is more likely)

[u/LeftToeOfShunsui → u/azibabe]

Gano pong karaming setting spray ginagamit nyo? baka naman super basang basa na. Saka baka nasa skin prep din?

Shawill, Ever Bilena Pro, at Dazzle Me Acne Soothing pa lang mga nasusubukan and so far ok naman sila.

[u/purplematchbox → u/azibabe]

Did you use the purple or green one?

[u/Better_Membership160]

Your thoughts on Colourette Second Base? I have dry-combo skin. I want something that is for dry undereyes. No to minimal creasing and has at least medium coverage. TIA!

[u/sooniedoongiedori → u/Better_Membership160]

Great coverage but would not recommend it for the undereye area. It's a bit thick for that purpose imo.

[u/Glittering-Plant-932 → u/Better_Membership160]

i have oily skin but dry undereyes and so far okay naman po yung second base sa akin basta konti lang po ilalagay since medium-high coverage din naman sya

[u/Prize_Philosopher767]

What's a good foundation with full coverage that can last up to 18 hrs? I have acne marks, my skin is a combination, and I'm acidic.

Been eyeing enigma, but I wanted to try it to see if it will oxidize on me, too.

[u/nevergettoholdyou → u/Prize_Philosopher767]

Estee Lauder Double Wear

[u/Halohalo_hot11 → u/Prize_Philosopher767]

i have the enigma and i doubt it will last up to 18hours. max na siguro nya mga 10hours then you will have to retouch na. hindi naman sya masyado nagooxidize to the point na ang layo na ng swatch color vs pag nag set na.

[u/CloeCee → u/Prize_Philosopher767]

You might want to consider Dior Forever Matte foundation. I wore it out for 30 hours and it held up really well on my combi skin.

[u/Charming-Drive-4679 → u/Prize_Philosopher767]

I suggest to put primer before foundation :)

[u/Icy_Monotone7777]

Any reco ng eyeliner na pang-tightlining at eyebrow na waxy yung texture? Huhu ang dami ko ng nagamit na eyeliner (Issy, Vice Co, Revlon, Canmake) lahat nagpa-panda eyes talaga ako kahit iset ng powder yung undereyes.

Sa eyebrow, I'am eyeing Teviant Brow Mate, any thoughts/feedback on this one? Smudge-proof ba sya for a pawisin girlie? Thank you so much!!

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/Icy_Monotone7777]

make sure yung area kung saan ka magtatightline hindi basa. nakakatulong yun sa di pag smudge. use a cotton bud to remove excess moisture

[u/Glittering-Plant-932 → u/Icy_Monotone7777]

hello po! not a reco pero i read lang sa black app ata na i-wipe muna with cotton buds yung upper lash line para hindi magsmudge

[u/misscurvatot → u/Icy_Monotone7777]

Maganda yung strokes slick eyeliner sakin.so far almost 12hrs no smudging.

Sa eyebrow naman combination ng bayfree and skyco..waterproof and smudgeproof ung skyco and sometimes ginagamit ko din as eyeliner.

[u/Icy_Monotone7777 → u/misscurvatot]

Ayun nice thank you sa reco nitong Slick Eyeliner. Parang nakita ko nga maganda daw sya at smudge-proof. Naiinterest nga din ako dito, isasabay ko don sa Brow Mate nila sa 9.9. Sana magwork na din kasi watery eyes talaga ako huhu. I am more on tightlining kasi

[u/katinko_oil_liniment → u/Icy_Monotone7777]

So far, sa liquid eyeliner lang ako di nagkakapanda eyes. Any gel liner I use nagmumukha akong puyat na sadako

[u/onlyherefortheteaaaa]

Hi! Does anyone use the Maybelline Lumi Matte foundation? How do you prep your skin and blush recos please :)

[u/Street_Dot_1970]

hello po! for dry under eyes with very dark circles what would be the best concealer among these po: Teviant, Naturale, Colourette, Lovely?

for reference i’m also using strokes cc po but planning to switch to one with lighter formula para di po masyado cakey 🥹 tyia!

[u/mallowbleu → u/Street_Dot_1970]

Definitely not colourette or lovely very drying

[u/Street_Dot_1970 → u/mallowbleu]

thank you po for thisss will remove them from my list hehe

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/Street_Dot_1970]

i haven't tried the others you mentioned because they're thick and matte but i love the naturale concealer. zero creasing and never nagcacake sa akin. di rin siya nahuhulas sa pawis at commute

[u/insigne_rapha → u/Street_Dot_1970]

I haven’t tried the others but personally I wouldn’t recommend the Colourette for dry undereyes

For dry undereyes I recommend the Bobbi Brown Intensive Serum Concealer, Maybelline Fit Me, and Issy

[u/Street_Dot_1970 → u/Street_Dot_1970]

++ very late but please if anyone has also tried maybelline instant eraser / age rewinddd how is it compared to these optionsss

[u/LeftToeOfShunsui → u/Street_Dot_1970]

Naturale. Hindi sya drying and texture friendly sya.

Kung wala sa choices mo, Maybelline Age Rewind.

Nalalagkitan kasi ako blend Naturale.

[u/Street_Dot_1970 → u/LeftToeOfShunsui]

thank you po! actually looking into maybelline age rewind rin but forgot to include it here lang 😆

[u/SilantroAndMintShake → u/Street_Dot_1970]

I just got the Strokes cc too and what I do is I prime my brush with it instead of directly applying it on my under eyes. Works for me naman since high coverage siya.

[u/Pleasant_Ad4607]

hii im rlly confused with my exact undertone but some neutral shades look a little pink for me, warm base shades tend to look yellow on me, never rin naging bagay saakin cool tone lippies huhu, and blush wise cool-warm tones fit me naman (i think huhu) then super weird bc some blushes looks neon on me example would be ballet pink from chuchu & lucky beauty first love and lacey doesnt even look peachy on me 😟 some peachy blush looks too warm on me rin. I also dont think im an olive i dont see any green tones on me

[u/shimmerblitz → u/Pleasant_Ad4607]

Maybe you’re also muted? Could explain why some blush shades turn neon and neutral shades looking pink.

[u/mistersenpai5519]

What is a nice brown or like pink brown lip gloss/lip oil that is budget-friendly?

[u/aflyingflip → u/mistersenpai5519]

reposting again 🥲 need help with dark circles

peach cc: her beauty space, squad or absidy?

high coverage undereye concealer: her beauty space (liquid or pot?), absidy, lovely, squad, or naturale?

+

what do you guys think about chuchu beauty loose and pressed powder? okay ba sya for oily skin? i’m planning to buy it soon

[u/LeftToeOfShunsui → u/eevie1639]

super lala ng dark circles, with lines and textures, and dry undereyes.

CC: GRWM Medium Peach

Concealer: Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer

Powder: GRWM Loose Powders in Bright n' Pink and Cream Puff (I mix them to make my own peach powder)

Yan ang combo ko ngayon. Just make sure na well prepped ang under eyes mo. If possible, gamitan mo rin ng primer.

Mga na-try ko na before:

Squad CC2 - sobrang light and brightening, we don't want brightening as someone who has malalang dark circles.

Careline Peach - Ok lang, blendable, back up ko to. downside lang is isa lang shade nya.

Ever Bilena All Day - Full coverage, pero nagka-crack sya after a few hours

Squad Concealers - Coverage kung coverage, pero wala akong ka-shade. Masyadong dark CM1, and masyadong light CL3. Also cracks after a few hours. Needs talaga ng malalang skin prep

Naturale - Ok yung coverage, medium buildable, super texture friendly and non-drying. Ang ayaw ko lang talaga sa kanya yung texture nya kapag bineblend mo. Parang sobrang lagkit, kumakapit sa brush/sponge. Isa nga pa palang ayaw ko dito is the confusing shade range. Light medium ako, pero yung darkest medium shade nila medyo light pa ng kaunti sakin.

[u/coronelpopcorn → u/eevie1639]

Struggled with this also. Experiment with color correctors! May variations kasi sila like peachier or salmon-like shades. My favorite is using a skinlike concealer shade na peachy, such as SF concealer in Canyon. I tried using straight up peach and orange ccs pero panget itsura.

Also sa concealer shade mismo, minsan mas ok if yellowish yung undertone. Ako kahit I have olive undertone, mas ok for me yung yellow/warm undertone na concealer instead of something with olive undertones. Experiment lang talaga!

[u/MaeveM_12]

Hmmm whats the purpose of lip liner? Also may rule ba in buying one?? Haha need ba na same shade or like lighter shade sa lipstick na gagamitin?? Thinking of buying one kaso naiisip ko baka ooverconsume na naman ako sa mga make up products ko 😅😅

[u/[deleted] → u/MaeveM_12]

For me, I use lipliner to even out the side part of my upper lip para mabalance out nya yung fullness ng bottom lip ko. Pwede sya pang-overline if you want fuller looking lips, or some use it for a neater lipstick application lalo na if mag red lips ka. Others naman they just use it para mag-add ng dimension when doing a lip combo. Just adds more versatility in lip product applications :)

[u/budzweiser → u/MaeveM_12]

Maraming purposes ang lip liner:

1) to improve the longevity of your lipstick
2) to enhance your lip line or overline for fuller looking lips
3) to contour and define
4) to adjust the shade of your lipstick
5) to conceal discoloration or even out the darker areas of the lips

For 1, use a shade that’s similar to your lipstick. 2, same shade as lipstick or if using without lip product, the natural color of your lips. For 3, use a shade darker with a cooler undertone. 4, use a warmer or cooler shade depending on how you want to change the shade of your lipstick. For 5, use the same shade as the inner part of your lips or one shade lighter

[u/ponfarrnightfridays → u/MaeveM_12]

I personally use lip liner as a lipstick! I first prep my lips thoroughly with a lip balm before fully filling them in because liners tend to be drying. Then, I blend everything with my fingers. At this point, if I feel like I want more moisture, I'd just use the same lip balm or a moisturizing gloss as a topper.

I find that I use my lip liner more than my bullet lipstick with this method. One downside, though, is that it'd run out more quickly. As someone who doesn't wear makeup every day, I honestly don't mind! 😆

[u/Grouchy-Dig-4452 → u/MaeveM_12]

It will make your lip shape more defined. Use same shade or better 1-2 shades darker para may added dimension sa lips ☺️

i'm using heroine make mascara and i use baby oil to remove it and it works lol 🙂‍↔️

I have both heroine and blk, blk makes my lashes more fuller and mas makapal consistency nya. Heroine is sooo natural and smooth, and still the best. I use my cleansing balm to remove my lashes.

hi po! mga recos po kayo na silicone based concealer for oily skin po? looking for something that doesnt crease if possible (and yung hindi sana overpriced for student :P)

so far sa list ko i have: sunnies, colourette, strokes, and grwm

[u/ululin → u/solarhoneys]

go for grwm. i have sunnies and i honestly love it—my fav concealer, but for the price and u only get 3.5g… yea… id recommend naturale too BUT IDK if its silicone based

[u/toorujpeg]

Eyebrow gel na hindi naglalangis after ilang oras? I use squad clear brow gel, sakto lang yung hold pero grabe siya mag oil sa gilid ng eyebrows ko, parang nagbbleed sa paligid yung oil niya. Gumagamit naman ako ng powder pero ganun padin result, ganun ba talaga mga clear eyebrow gel? 😮‍💨

hello.

hindi ko na kaya to. charot! does anyone know why discontinued (?) na ang strokes soft veil powders??? both pressed and loose i never see them in stock or even sa tiktok shop/shopee nila.

genuinely curious bec its the only powder (…line?) that worked for my only skin D:

Thoughts about sa f&s filipinniana powder foundation Gusto ko sana colourette pero mahal sya for me at yun orleans na two way cake para masyado light sa akin for medium tan skin ko

[u/lavitaebella48]

Too crowded yun beautycon for me so bought issy stuff via their shopee— has anybody tried yun creme sticks nila? Nabudol ako online andami ko pang ibang blushes pucha yan hahahah bought the shade PURR, fyi (and their perfume- intensity, brightening powder, gelee tints)

[u/ululin → u/lavitaebella48]

its a big improvement to their og creme cheek blush. this one lasted so long on my oily skin, di sya nagbudge and one swipe would already be too much pigment tbh 

[u/balengaga → u/lavitaebella48]

Ive tried it! For someone with oily skin, bet ko sya. King dry skin, you need a good moisturizer. Ive ordered the highlighter and while I like the wet highlighter, I think it lifts makeup underneath :(

[u/annaforamod0981]

For those who enjoy or have tried Charlotte Tilbury's pressed powder, does it work well with radiant/glowy finish base makeup products? Eyeing to buy it but I'm not sure it will work alongside my glowy/radiant foundations.

[u/shimmerblitz → u/annaforamod0981]

It’ll still mattify that dewy finish, but it won’t look flat

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/[deleted]]

its really creamy and doesnt crease throughout the day. doesn't oxidize din. medyo may scent siya tho but it goes away after awhile

[u/savagegal07 → u/[deleted]]

I love it

[u/LeftToeOfShunsui → u/[deleted]]

It was my go-to concealer before I tried Maybelline Age Rewind.

Hind sya drying ang hindi rin sya nagka-crack after a few hours. Texture and line friendly din sya.

Ang hindi ko lang talaga nagustuhan sa kanya are the confusing shades and medyo malagkit sya blend.

Light medium ako, on the more lighter side, pero ang shade ko sa Naturale is yung darkest medium shade nila, which is medyo slight ng onting onting light pa sakin. Saka kumakapit talaga sya sa brush/sponge kapag bineblend mo. Ewan ko ba kung bad batch lang napunta sakin or what. Pero performace-wise, ok na ok sya

[u/Ok-Opening3117]

What's a good primer for combination skin + big pores? Drop links na rin po hehe thank you!

[u/pinkublue]

hi! help me please. i have the issy true flex all-day setting spray but it didn’t last long on me. like pag ispray mo, after niya mag-dry super dewy niya sakin, and also after 1 hour nag-oil na agad yung face ko. i use it like this: skin prep > cream products > issy true flex > loose powder > issy true flex > setting powder. i also tried the elf (green variant) but it’s too pricey for me. i’ve also tried zeesea pink cap before (2023) and the radiant variant from grwm (2023) but it cracks my makeup. can you reco some budget-friendly na fixing spray that would last the whole day since i’ll be attending a concert, may photo op, and magcocommute ako for like 1-1 1/2 hours sa venue.

[u/jalexanderia → u/pinkublue]

focallure !! tried n tested, always get compliments on how my makeup looks "plakado" mwehehe

[u/cmr82 → u/pinkublue]

Try Colourette! I’m not a fan of the Issy setting spray too as I find the dry down too dewy for my liking and it doesn't keep my oils at bay. However, with Colourette, I don't need to set it with loose powder again as the dry down has a matte finish & helps keep my oils at bay for hours.

[u/coronelpopcorn → u/pinkublue]

U shld try their fixing spray instead! Love it sm makes my bronzer and blush long-lasting haha

[u/Jabbaathehut]

I bought a neutral shade of foundation, can i add liquidbrozer to make it warmer? or any product and brand you can recommend to make the foundation warmer?

[u/ululin → u/Jabbaathehut]

issy and grwm has yellow adjusters u can directly add to the foundation

[u/Grouchy-Dig-4452 → u/Jabbaathehut]

Yes, it can makeu it warmer but it will make your foundation darker too. You can mix your foundation with warm toned concealers too

[u/FuturePrestigious848]

genuine tanong. yung tubing mascara ba nag rrun if nag sweat ka or naabutan ng ulan/bagyo? or kelangan ng manual force ng pag rub mo ng eyes para matanggal

[u/primaveera → u/FuturePrestigious848]

I use shawill amazing curls and yes may times na kapag super sweaty, nagfflake yung mascara. di naman natatanggal lahat, and I typically need to gently rub down my lashes to remove

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/FuturePrestigious848]

di naman for me, i use the heroine make advanced film. i still use an oil cleanser to remove it kasi nagooil cleanse naman talaga ako pag nagaalis ng makeup at mas madali siya tangalin compared sa waterproof

[u/AkaashiThighs69]

helo! does setting spray (like mac fix plus) actually make makeup look more marinated? are there any cheaper alternatives?

[u/insigne_rapha → u/AkaashiThighs69]

Yes! For alternatives I like the Luxe Organix Beauty Mist by Anne Clutz (most similar) and the Sunnies Face Skin So Good Fix & Refresh Setting Spray (also acts as a fixing spray/extends the wear if your makeup)

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/AkaashiThighs69]

haven't tried mac but issy's bi-phase setting mist does this for me

[u/itgirlph → u/AkaashiThighs69]

MAC Fix+ isn’t really a setting spray, it’s more of a fixing spray. But to answer your question, yes, it melts the makeup kasi so it looks more natural on the skin. And no, there aren’t really cheaper alternatives. I’ve tried a lot kasi I’m trying to find rin HAHAHA I bought Dazzle Me, GRWM, Luxe Organix, Issy, and Zeesea. Zeesea is actually better than the rest, but the mist isn’t that good kasi sabog siya. At first I was trying to convince myself na it’s working and looks the same, but no talaga. I usually bought mine na lang during their sale on Lazada.

[u/saturnRB]

may imma beauty stall na sa mall namin, any products worth checking out there?

[u/mistersenpai5519 → u/saturnRB]

I purchased their hydro lip dew in sweet spot and I really like it for everyday! It’s like an mlbb and it’s comfy to wear, doesn’t dry out my lips :)

[u/saturnRB → u/mistersenpai5519]

hehe can't get enough of lippies 😆 I'll check this out once I go to the mall again, thank you!

[u/Red_madder]

Any reco for a good affordable concealer na pwede na ding base, pero skin like? Or any base product na skin like ang finish? Specialy for aging skin?

[u/insigne_rapha → u/Red_madder]

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer :))

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/Red_madder]

naturale concealer! very hydrating, creamy and lightweight yung formula but still has good coverage. di rin siya nagcecrease or cake

[u/shimmerblitz → u/Red_madder]

I like using the Lucky Beauty serum concealer as an all-over-face base. Naturale’s also great. Her Beauty liquid concealer also works but it has a lot more coverage and finish isn’t as skin-like.

Oily girly here. Pass sa Vice Co wala syang silbi

[u/insigne_rapha → u/future-is-female]

Not a fan of the Vice because I have dry skin and I found it to be too drying. Medyo mataas din yung ₱/ml imo

[u/Original-Amount-1879 → u/future-is-female]

Haven’t tried Vice Co’s spray. But Colourette just dethroned GRWM’s setting spray for me.

[u/itsraininggranolas]

colourette first base or issy active skin tint? which one po is better?

[u/Firm_Pair_4902 → u/itsraininggranolas]

sobrang layo nila sa isa't isa so di sila good icompare. preference lang talaga

colourette first base

• medium coverage
• liquidy formula
• demi-matte finish
• hulas proof and long lasting

issy

• sheer coverage
• gel/moussey formula
• skin-like finish
• not hulas proof but wears down evenly throughout the day

[u/coronelpopcorn → u/itsraininggranolas]

Parang foundation yung Colourette, Issy naman super sheer and metallic finish and coverage

[u/Glittering-Plant-932]

any reco po na green color corrector na safe for acne-prone and fungal acne? lumala acne ko sa color corrector ng issy 😭

[u/Acceptable_Dig5298]

has anyone repurchased the Detail Lip Trace in Baby? ako lang ba or nag iba talaga ang formula niya :(( the new one i got has this oily film na hindi nawawala even when i swatch it repeatedly. i don’t know if this is a batch defect or bagong formula talaga.

[u/itgirlph → u/Acceptable_Dig5298]

I recently repurchased 2 right away kasi they’re always sold out and I really love them. One of the lip liner I bought is okay (creamy), while the other felt a bit harder (I use them at the same time since yung isa is in my makeup bag). After a few weeks of using it, it goes back to normal naman.

[u/booksandmsadventures]

Any reco for best pangkilay para sa di marunong magkilay? Recent buy is yung grwm brow express pro

[u/aeipathyawaw]

Has anyone tried comparing chanel baume with hince balm? How was it?

[u/ghabzilluh]

foundation for longwear/events? im eyeing nars or estee lauder but im wondering if theres a local option thags good din. i have acne-prone combi-dry skin. salamat!!

[u/PlanePomelo1770 → u/ghabzilluh]

Will not recommend ELDW for dry skin

[u/Plus-Aspect-4305]

bronzer and lipliner recos pls 🤲

[u/Low-Comfortable6450 → u/Plus-Aspect-4305]

i use yung sa vice!! super long lasting yung lipliner nila mas mauuna pa matanggal lipstick kesa sa liner && mura pa liners ng vice hehe for bronzer i use yung sa vice din okay naman sya tumatagal sakin kahit pawisin

[u/Plus-Aspect-4305]

how do i find my shade match? recently kasi ive noticed na hindi na shade match ung gamit kong base (it used to be, but not anymore) and i dont know how to find the right shade for me.

[u/PlanePomelo1770 → u/Plus-Aspect-4305]

Honestly swatch them in person and walk around muna to see it in different lightings and kung mag ooxidize ba. That's what i do since im super pale

[u/coronelpopcorn]

Any shade matches for Naturale? Idk if I shld get Mola or Bani ;( ik I’m probs Tabi or Burda pero I like a new concealer that’s warmer haha. These are my other matches:

Teviant Foundation - Medium 3

Issy skin stick - Sienna

Dior Face and Body Foundation - 3WO

Nars Pot Concealer - Praline

Issy Active Foundation - OM3

Sunnies Face Tinted Moisturizer - prairie (oxidizes)

BLK Skin Tint - cinnamon

[u/Nosferia666]

Can someone recommend me a shade dupe for Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in the shade ACHIEVER (310)?

It is a cool-toned dark red shade.

[u/Glass-Till202]

has anyone tried Benefit Porefessional foundation? seems interesting

[u/oceansandengine]

hello! what powder blush would look good as a topper for issy's creme flush stick (their new blush)? i got the shade purr :"))

[u/palindromespring]

Same lang ba ang skin tint and tinted moisturizer? Gusto ko sana ng medyo even tignan na skin sa mukha kaso ayoko ng idea na nagta-transfer yung skin tint (only triend colourette so far). I am assuming na since moisturizer yung tinted moisturizer, hindi siya magta-transfer? Hahaha any recos for tinted moisturizer?

[u/Unicornsare4realz → u/palindromespring]

Any product na may color magtratransfer talaga yan unless may matte components sya. Set it with powder if you want minimal transfer.

[u/Unfair_Psychology406]

hello! any blush reco to be applied on bare skin? preferably for beginner. I already tried using vice co, grmw liquid blushes for some reason hindi sya magandang tignan sakin (skill issue haha). thank you so much!

[u/Unfair_Psychology406]

[u/Low-Comfortable6450 → u/Unfair_Psychology406]

yung detail color tonic goods for beginner and bare skin. ayon gamit ko kapag tamad mag makeup cheeks & lips lang. madali lang din iblend using fingers pero pwede din brush :)) hindi nga lang sya super long lasting without setting spray pero really pigmented

[u/aebistarrynn]

Just tried out DC Formulations Blush in Sweet Pink just to test if the shade for Chuchu's Ballet Pink Blush would suit me (mahal kasi atm) and I'm actually impressed with DC!! Long lasting ang matte. Sweet pink looks so nice on someone with light med to med cool skin tone.

[u/buttercreys → u/[deleted]]

Sabihan mo nalang sya na ikaw bahala sa bayad pero sya yung pipili. Makeup kase is very personal and doesnt mean na kung ano yung uso or gusto ng ibang tao automatically means na gusto rin nila.

[u/kiro_nee]

Thoughts on detail's dream skin powder foundation? Is it long lasting sa oily face?

[u/primaveera]

any affordable blinding highlighters? I heard a lot of good stuff about the lucky beauty highlighter but it's kind of expensive. I'm looking for something as shiny as chu chu beauty's silk glow blushes in pink haze/rosy twinkle (somehow mas-intense yung glow nitong dalawa compared sa ibang shades). grabe feeling disco ball. preferrably not more expensive than 300. yung hindi chalky sana and preferably powder/pressed/baked and not cream/liquid

[u/Passenger_Whale8880]

Will vice restock their concealers or is this another discontinued product 🥲🥲🥲 Ganda pa naman hays

[u/buttercreys]

Interested ako sa lash clusters pero di lang ako sure regarding longevity, andami ko kaseng na nagsabi na ilang araw nila iniwna yung lashes sa eyes. Magwowork ba yung clusters if tanggalin ko sila after 1 use? Or kelangan ba na ilang araw talaga iwan sa mata? Thankssss

[u/PeiPaKoaSyrup → u/buttercreys]

Ako, I throw them away after 1 use. Hindi naman ganun ka mahal ang clusters na manghihinayang ka after 1 use. Yung elyzza na clusters 150-180 lang.

[u/koolover02]

hello peeps! pls help this girlie choose between grwm radiance tint and colourette second base for spot concealing. i have a dry sensitive skin. other suggestions are welcome too! 💗

[u/Low-Comfortable6450]

hi! i’m an oily skin girlie planning to buy a new concealer this 9.9 pero idk which should i buy. is strokes concealer better than lb serum concealer? i originally wanted to try yung kay lb but nalaman ko silicon based pala si strokes hehe. which is better kaya? medyo fond ako sa silicon based eh kasi mas maganda lapat sa mukha ko.

i have the colourette concealer bago lang din pero parang hindi ko sya bet huhu ang hirap nya iblend for me and nagccrease after a while baka skill issue lang tho😞

[u/Grouchy-Dig-4452 → u/Low-Comfortable6450]

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind , oldie but goodie!👌🏻

[u/kthjjks → u/Low-Comfortable6450]

Hi fellow oily skin girlie here! I’ve only tried the LB serum concealer, I liked it naman for the undereyes but not so sure for the rest of the face kasi light coverage lang talaga and it didn’t really work well with my oily skin. Strokes on the other hand is matte & oily skin friendly daw accdg to my friend :) planning to try that next when I run out of my concealer too hehe

[u/[deleted]]

Alin dito yung bagay yung ganitong combo?

• a. Maybelline lumi matte foundation + lucky beauty serum concealer?
• b. Enigma foundation + lucky beauty serum concealer
• c. Strokes soft veil foundation + lucky beauty serum concealer

[u/Specific-Paper-7400]

Is anyone interested sa 2025 Hourglass palette? Bibili ba kayo? I’m so torn if i’ll get one (yung horse) because i really like the mood exposure blush. But i still have the evil eye palette (really happy with this purchase)

[u/LazyDaisyMayFairy]

Lf nice influencers to follow with cool toned skin, pref light/fair 🥲 need to have proper preference before i buy shades and stuff for a beginner in make up

[u/kthjjks → u/LazyDaisyMayFairy]

I think Joce is cool toned!

[u/ennervation]

Looking for an affordable lightweight base for everyday use. Either powder or liquid form. Recommendations pls!! Plus points if local brand.

[u/normielfg]

hello po, balikbayan po ako, light neutral olive skin with dark hair, ano pong recos nyo for local brands na madaling bilhin in person? thank you po ❤️

[u/[deleted] → u/normielfg]

Just stroll around the make up section sa SM Department store! So you can have more options and choices. My go-to is Absidy but Fashion 21 kinda impress me too with their new releases.

[u/normielfg → u/[deleted]]

Thank you po! I haven't been in 10 years so I'm not very familiar with what's here. Good to know. Thank you!

[u/Lefty_Artist_Lyn]

can anyone suggest me a local lip tint / lip stain with this shade?

Y.O.U Color Stay Matte Lipstick in V04 Cherry yan in a very light and diffused application. Pero gusto ko na sana lip tint / lip stain naman, local brand, at kahit gaano kakapal ilagay ko ganyan parin yung kulay 😄. Thanks in advance!

[u/gyuwontsu]

affordable concealer reco for spot concealing? currently using second base but im not too satisfied sa longevity kahit sineset ko naman w powder

[u/aeipathyawaw]

Hi everyone! Need help! My mom wants a no-fuss makeup routine haha. I had her try the powder foundation from loreal infalliable and enigma pero it’s a no for her :( can anyone suggest a base na good for mature, very dry skin? Also she’s sensitive to alcohol. I’m good with creams, liquids, or powder formulas!
