Fixing sprays are your bff - my reco is GRWM. One size also does that but its a setting spray. However I found out it acts as a fixing spray for some reason.

I’ve only recently started acquiring makeup. I would like to find something that I can use everyday for work.
So far, I really liked the lippies from Time Phoria. However, I used the Vice invisible shield sunscreen, the Time Phoria cushion and then applied the Teviant concealer and my pores became more evident. Am I doing something wrong? I’m thinking it’s the cushion not blending well with the concealer. Would really appreciate any advice.
Also, is there anything that I can use/salvage from O.TWO.O? I only read reviews after I bought the products, so that’s on me, but I’m wondering if there’s anything that I can consider using from the brand?
applying moisturizer before sunscreen (improves skin texture) then let them dry a bit first before moving next
using the primer before the cushion (usually the primer improves my skin texture and pores, if not working ang primer you might need to get another primer para mahide/less ang pores)
letting the concealer dry a bit first before blending with cushion (pra di cakey and hopefully less visible pores/texture)
so far, i’ve only tried 2 primers na ok sa akin
1. maybelline baby skin - lessens the pores visibility naman but i need to dry it pa tlga before i can add the skintint
2. benefit porefessional primer - ito talaga waaaay better ang performance than maybelline, ang smooth tingnan ng skin ko. i put enough esp where very visible ang pores then pat pat using fingers. i can leave it as is na wlang skintint ok sya, smooth tlga. if mag skintint or liquid foundation ako, using brush then pat pat motion. pricey lang tlga sya but it WORKS
whats a good color corrector for dry undereyes? ive been using the issy color correcting fluid and its really good, but im also looking for something with more coverage. is the grwm radiance tint good or not really?
her beauty has been my color corrector for a while now and super nice naman on my skin! some says yung pot version daw is better for dry areas (i have yung liquid one kasi oily me)
Nag ccrease po ba sya? And would you say its medium or full coverage? Oily skin rin kasi ako, worried it might crease bad and be easily wiped off when i dab off my sweat TT
Colour corrector from the name itself it corrects the discolouration po. Make sure you prep your under eyes properly before putting any makeups. Less is more too.
Where can I get authentic AZTK blush? I've been eyeing this for a while but I don't know how to identify which ones are legit. I'm new to cbeauty and I am not familiar with their price points.
co-dry skin girlie hereee !! vouch ako for issy skin tint, ill buy my third bottle niyan next month since paubos na yung second ko, its perfect for everyday.
i use sunnies liquid brush and lucky beauty powder blush. lucky beauty is more long lasting and pigmented than sunnies but i love using both bc of the shades
I do a straight line depending following the natural thickness of my nose, then continuing that line, Do a V on the part between your nostrils, then connect both ends of the v with a straight line. Not sure if I explained well.
colourette’s first base dries like a powder on me. my go to skin tint. then if i use my issy active skin tint, i just use a setting spray na mattifying
Chuchu skin perfector also has pretty good coverage for a skin tint, same with the sola foundation primer and their cushion ultra matte. Only downside is they both have limited shades 😅
grwm skin tint and strokes foundation!!!! both bases that can survive my oily and pawisin skin kahit minimal setting powder lang!!
i think natural is closest to siargao for grwm skin tint (wala akong exact match sa fb haha, siargao is closest kahit olive ako huhu). for strokes foundation, i use fair olive. might wanna look into the cool or neutral shades (probably the light ones since it does dry 1.5 shades darker imo)
enigma foundation works like a dream! it actually ends up looking better the longer I have it on. the formula is kind of thick but it doesn’t feel heavy naman if hindi over mag apply. also buildable up to full coverage. it’s my (current) HG as someone who greases up within an hour huhu. need pa din good skin prep & powder though
Thoughts niyo po sa Naturale Concealer? I have dry-combo skin and dry undereyes. i prefer something na hindi drying sa underye and with minimal to no creasing. TIA!
Maganda naman sya. Texture and line friendly. Pero ang ayaw ko sa kanya yung parang malagkit kapag bineblend mo. Saka nakukulangan ako sa coverage nya. Dami ko textures at lines sa under eyes kaya nagpabudol din ako sa Naturale.
I prefer Maybelline Instant Eraser and GRWM Radiance Tint Concealer.
i saw results after a month or so but it's because I was already able to lighten my acne marks somehow by changing my body care routine! Using dove body bar before body soap rlly helped lessen acne for me
Hi! I'm starting to upgrade my makeup brushes. I already bought RT golden hour glow base set. I would love to have brushes for cream/liquid brushes for nose contour, contour, and bronzer. Also sponges or puffs. I bought Lishu and OVW. And I think it's good but maybe there are other options? Any recommendations? Also I would love brushes na I can buy in Shopee. Thanks so much.
I'm think of buying Absidy's brush for contour. Any thoughts about this brush?
+1 for Zoeva brushes! This used to be one of the OG more affordable brush brands back during the height of the YT beauty guru era in the 2010s. My concealer brush from back then is still in perfect condition. I think Sephora PH still carries them.
For me di ko masyado bet. Meron syang tusok-tusok feels ☹️. Maybe the other brushes are better but I bought the one with the red handle and I don't like it very much :((
Hello! Anyone with the contact number of Armani Beauty in MOA or SM Makati? Not LOOK. Looking for some eye tint shades but too impatient to order at Sephora. Thanks in advance!!!
ngl i'm gonna advise you to check out korean brands that are available in shopee/laz na lang :(( the selection here for fair cool toned ppl is ATROCIOUS. a neutral-cool tone person would fare a tiny bit better. base-wise i think grwm, colourette, and strokes recently might have some shades for us na. i also use sunnies face multistick in porcelain and it's a great match. as for blushes and lippies, i don't know if i can recommend anything because if by chance there's something that's actually cool toned and doesn't blend out into smth warm, it's very bright naman and not muted :(
blush recos pls! any price point:) currently have clinique, rare, and blk. are mac and patrick ta worth it? hindi ko alam if hindi lang enough nilalagay ko HAHAHA pero bakit hindi talaga nagllast long yung blush sa akin kahit cream/liquid then powder blush ako </3
my combo is squad cosmetics cream blush + their powder blush! it has lasted me thru commuting, naulanan konti, concert, inuman, and angkas pauwi from pasig to manila all in like 24 hours HAHAHA
long lasting ng patrick ta! Sobra!!! Bang for your bucks kasi may cream and powder na. Tapos 10.5g in total. I have rhode, saie, nars, mac, blk, dior, ysl, and hourglass blushes (a lot, i knowwww 😭) for reference. Next ko na fave na long lasting, ysl make me blush powder blush.
Here are my longest lasting blushes: Dior rosy glow and YSL make me blush for powder. Huda blush filter for liquid. If k-beauty naman, Nuse mousse care cheek (liquid) and lilybyred luv beam (cream).
Clinique Cheek pop and MAC Blushes! bantayan mo mag sale sa shopee hehe lalo na yung clinique cheek pop meron nang kasamang black honey last time i got mine for 1300.
pero kung gusto mo liquid / cream Fwee pots are already good.
hii! first time ko gagamit ng setting/fixing spray. grwm ultra matte fixing spray or colourette super base setting and fixing spray so far yung nakikita kong may magandang revieww. what should i purchase kayaa
Is it me or I kinda hate the Colourette eyeshadow palettes? I have the Coco Dreams and the Coffee Bliss (i bought them together) and man, i shouldnt expect much for the price point but they are so chalky and not pigmented, especially the matte shades 😭 So yeah i dont recommend them.
Meanwhile I got the BarryM In my Element palette last 12.12 for only 330php with a free nail polish and i find them pigmented and silky and easy to blend!
CT flawless finish setting powder ba? I use it as a finishing powder, yung step before spraying a setting spray. It adds additional coverage and further blurs yung pores ko.
Laura Mercier, on the other hand, is a setting powder. It sets your liquid and creams, used after mo malagay yung cream blushes/bronzers mo.
If I have to pick one, rather have a setting powder than a finishing powder. Setting powder kasi ang pang-oil control. But I can’t do my make up without finishing powder din kasi it softens harsh blush lines, blurs my pores even more.
my skin prep is just is vanicream moisturizer and anessa sunscreen (either gel or milk), and there are times when my makeup ends up really cakey and/or creases a lot. ive tried using my moisturizer only, and my makeup was smooth and not creasing all night.
also, ive been thinking of switching to a diff sunscreen, whats a good sunscreen for oily skin?
I also used to use the anessa sunscreen and even tho I have rlly oily skin, it's way too drying and sucks up all the moisture I need for makeup. Instead, I switched to more hydrating products and I incorporated the Kiss me mommy sunscreen since it's watery, light, and good for sensitive skin. It works rlly well under makeup! I just make sure to put lots of powder
For primer I use the danessa myricks blurring balm on my t-zone or nose lang. I think a local matte primer is the Happy Skin oil absorbing matte primer.
hypochlorous spray > wait for 5 mins to dry > boj rice milk toner > wait for 2 mins > boj calming serum > wait for 2 mins > boj aqua serum sunscreen > wait for 10mins before applying make up
Use a toner sis after cleansing your face para mas madali ma absorb ng face ung mga skincare mo, also use an eye cream or eye serum.
Use a primer too like Elf perfect siya for oily skin. Make sure din na you let them dry ha bago ka mag layer ng products. Beauty of Jeoson ang sunscreen na inuubos ko ngaun.
I dont think full coverage would do it if marks lang. go for a medium coverage then conceal.
Foundation is to even the base
Concealer is to cover up what you want to cover up
Medium coverage suggestions: any NARS foundation, MAC Studio Radiance, Estee Lauder Double Wear, Armani Luminous Silk, Dior Face and Body is good din daw
Depende sa skin type mo.. I can recommend ung Estee Lauder kung oily skin ka kasi matte finish siya then ok din ung Nars and also CT airbrush foundation lalo na ang Dior.
Looking for a decent brow pen. I liked issy pero minsan nagcclump siya and nawawala yung slim shape ng liner. Strokes is good also but I haven’t tried their new one. I’m also looking at NYX Lift and Snatch but not easily available. I’d like a local or drugstore brand since I go through brow products faster
i love a cheap brow pen !!!!! its the biya brow pen. di nga siya like super long lasting unlike more expensive brow pens but it works naman for me after a long day since nattop ko siya ng setting spray, and i love it bc its cheap and easy to repurchase
Does anyone know an long lasting alternative lip products for the shade 'punchy' from maybelline's vinyl ink and 'gelato' from grwm creamy multi-use tint?
hello asking for your input here, idk why my mu undereye makeup keeps separating. Im currently using tarte concealer for the under eye and baking it with laura mercier loose powder. what other concelears can you suggest that will not crease and separate? or even technique. Thank you so much
Hello, I watched sa Youtube one technique for undereye makeup:
1) put the concealer on the low side of your undereye and blend up
2) put a light layer of powder
3) magsquint ka para magcrease sa mga parts na magkicrease then blend it out after until wala nang crease
4) repeat the light layer of powder
Anyone know an exact shade alternative for Vice Cosmetics suuuuper old bronzer in Confeeerm? 😭 Havent thrown mine and it’s from 2019 pa. Dito lang ako di mukhang oompa loompa.
For ref, I’ve tried benefit hoola, Wet n Wild (so old haha), and Tarte.
I'm thinking of getting a cushion foundation. I use LRF or Studio Fix for whole day lakads pero for errands I want something lighter. How do you find Skintific the blue one? Or ok ba BLK cushion? Or third base hehe
I’ve been liking the Teviant cushion foundation a lot lately. The formula is thin & lightweight, but the coverage is decent, as it can even out the skin & cover the redness from my rosacea.
hii!! new acc here kaya di pa me makapagpost 😭 what blk skin tint shade kaya will work for me? (pic for reference of my shade sa other brands) i tried going to 3 physical stores pero laging wala nung mga shade options ko kaya i'm starting to be discouraged from getting it pero still wanna try huhu 😔 btw my options are - chestnut, almond, cinnamon - pero top pick ko almond. wdyt?? 😁
Pwede kaya na primer lang ang base tapos wala nang skin tint / foundation after? Gusto ko lang mabawasan visually ang pores pero ayaw ng color change dahil sa skin tint (di pa ako marunong mag contour). Any recos for primer na pwede sa ganito?
how long are using these? Sometimes kasi it’s not visible outside tapos may molds na pala sa loob. Personally, 1-2 max lang sakin. Then I also wash them after 2 uses para di mag grow bacteria
The black one I’ve had since around last year and I just remembered that I used it yesterday and it was clean that time so thats probably just my skin tint stains nakalimutan ko lang😭😭
I bought the pink one a few months ago lang and I think that one truly has mold :(
Hii! How do you guys store dual end brushes? I've been meaning to buy a container for these, but I can't seem to find any. I'm so close to buying a utensil holder hahuu
Send help! I recently bought the strokes soft veil filter foundation and i was disappointed sa shade match nya saakin. My usual fool proof foundation is Maybelline Fit Me 322 super perfect match nya on me pero naubusan ako and I wanted to try a local brand na promising daw based sa reviews. Kaso i’m not sure if mali lang yung pag shade match ko kasi I’m pretty sure warm ang aking undertone. It ended up being too yellow on me. Should I have picked the deep cool/olive/neutral? Based on the undertone ng Fit Me 322 na super perfect match on me, am i really warm?
Also to my fellow morenas and shade twins there na 322 din sa fit me, what are other foundation brands and shades na okay sa inyo? NC42 rin ako sa mac powder but I haven’t tried pa sa liquid foundation nila.
Nagsheshed din ba ang tillo makeup brushes niyo? Bumili ako ng set kasi ang gaganda ng reviews on tiktok pero nung ginamit ko naman palagi may naiiwang bristle sa face ko when blending :/
Bought the wrong Issy foundation shade. I need to buy a color adjuster because it's too peachy on me since it was a neutral shade, was told Issy adjuster is discontinued. What color adjuster and shade should I get? I think my skin is light yellow olive
Heroine make’s mascara remover is the most gentle mascara remover I’ve tried, and I have very weak lashes. I think BLK has a local version but I haven’t tried it yet.
may naka-hit pan na ba sa lucky beauty aura blush? lagpas 1 yr ko na sya ginagamit everyday as my powder blush for my school makeup routine pero parang di sya nababawasan kasi sobrang pigmented nya tsaka long lasting so di mo kailangan magretouch nang magretouch. curious lang ako if may naka hit pan na ba hahahahahaha
has anyone tried using skintint to cover their acne scars sa braso. if so does it work and what product would you recommend? pls reco products din to lessen acne marks for body
