Look at these Revlor color stickers. Goodness, these companies need to try harder!

Hi, I’m a trans man who refused to learn how to do makeup before and after coming out at 14, and thus, didn’t go through the trial and error of finding out how to do makeup at all.

However, I am a gay man, and I do think eyeliner and eyeshadow can look cool, and I know contouring can be used to make yourself look more masculine. But my issue is that I don’t know how to do them, what works for my face shape, eye colour, outfit, etc. Or what techniques to use to make sure it doesn’t do that like balling or cake-like texture that foundation often does.

Do you have any advice?

I never wore makeup before, only lip gloss and lip liner!

Hi! Im so happy to join your community. ❤️

1st - me/natural light/ absolutely no makeup
2nd, 3rd - No tint or makeup only tart concealer on pimples and jones road combo undecese concealers, tart black tubing mascara, tiny bit of llightest shade benefit brow, jones road palette - lips and cheeks the Chic shade, "eyeshadow" and bit on forehead, chin, temples and transition to blush the Dusty rose shade, browbone the highlight shade. I used lip tint wondertint Whimsical and lip pencil in kinda dusty mauve shade i think. Im not sure i wore eye pencil. Im kinda scare of it, i only use brown one and on the tightline. I always smudges becase i smile openly and my eyes squeeze almost shut during it. I used setting spray (the red 3 seconds one, sorry forgot name), maybe a tiny bit powder? but mostly not because i hate the feeling on my dehydrated skin.

Im close to 34, no botox or any or any other in office treatment, coloring soft autumn, alabaster neutral undertone skin (always the lightest shade). I have thin, dehydrated and dry skin prone to foliculitis and eczema. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I refuse to use tanning products and avoid sun in general. (it hurts my eyes and i only ever gives me freckles and I burn bright red. My whole body is just saying no to hot weather and sharp sun).

Iove to look out together but not stuffy and i don't feel comfortable aggressively sexy. Idealy sensual, bit ethereal, bit romantic, sophisticated.
Idealy I would love to learn 1. stronger eyes, soft mouth, blush (which i can transition to evening look) 2. strong blush, juicy lips, softer eyes.

Any advice would be appreciated. From layering skincare (and spf!) in the morning, keping my sking with makeup healthy (tips on how to hydrate snd use spf over make up face during the day?) and hydrated without feeling heavy or sweaty, cool makeup brands for my skin type and coloring, eyeshadow placement and color recomendation, blush placement, Anything alse? Am I missing something?

I there is any other artistic potential to make me look beautiful, give give XD

Thank you all and I hope this can help other translucent weak skin barrier people out there, too!

Hello, I am going to be doing my mom’s makeup pretty soon and I want her to feel beautiful. She likes bold colors like blue and green or red, and I was thinking of doing a blue sparkly eyeshadow look with some winged eyeliner and very subtle cool toned pink blush and burgundy lipstick. Would the products in the picture be adequate?
She has pale cool toned skin with olive undertones and hooded eyes that are grayish-blue. I mean this in a neutral, matter-of-fact way, but she has wrinkles around her eyes. Should I skip the eyeliner and just do a blue smoky eye to cover the wrinkles? Should I be using all silicone based face products instead of water based ones or does that matter? I also read that I shouldn’t use too much setting powder on older skin, but then how do I set it properly because I feel like setting spray isn’t enough usually? Are there any other tips anyone would be willing to share for doing makeup on someone who is 57?
Thank you for any advice.

First photo is me with no makeup at all, second photo is me with my normal makeup. Typical makeup is all Nyx products other than Pat McGrath eyeshadow and lipstick.

I don't know the right makeup for me, what skincare I should go for- which products, which shades I need to go for.. it's all a huge pile that I feel has been thrown on me, with me having no orientation or knowledge whatsoever.

I live in germany and I am on a budget. I've bought a few products before buttttt I just don't feel too satisfied- maybe it's just the way I've been applying them that's wrong.

I REALLY wanna learn how to do lashes especially, I've tried applying them before and it never worked out.. plus I have a weak eyesight, so I guess my eyes might be more sensitive when it comes to wearing lashes?

I'm also a huge fan of eyeliner, though the corner of my eyes always hurt when I apply it.. and it always smudges as well.

My bronzer? It won't stay intact. My concealer sweats off, my highlighter barely does anything since I'm pretty pale.

Idk how to contour, I haven't worked with foundation..

Gosh, there's so much that my mind feels like it's being overloaded just thinking about it. PLEASE, GIVE ME ALL YOUR TIPPS!!! (It'd be best that if you suggest any products, that they're budget friendly..<3)

I'm 17 and have never used makeup on myself before, I want to start exploring it. Does anyone know where to start for research into what suits me best? I don't want to waste time buying millions of products.

I'm in my 30s and trying to wear a little bit of makeup, but whenever I put on even a base coat of BB cream, I have these 2 identical dark sections on my cheeks. I find that BB cream is less heavy on my skin and I don't get very oily with it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this dark spot? I'm really struggling! Thank you!

Please recommend a good make up artist I would like to keep in touch

I saved my money last year and I bought the rare beauty powder blush. I’ve had it for a year now and it’s lasted me really long. It’s made me decide that I should maybe start to buy more expensive make-up as it will last longer and give me a better result. I’d like to buy a foundation and maybe a concealer but are there any other essentials or products that anyone would recommend? Also is it worth buying a good bronze powder as well or what are the must haves

Hi guys!! So I’m not sure what to call it but my face naturally has like redness to it, I always feel like I look weird if I just throw on concealer because of the redness, I want to find a makeup routine where I don’t always have to put on a skin tint or foundation. Does anyone have any recommendations on what they use or how they go about this?? Thank you in advance 😊
