I am extremely new to makeup. When I’m out in public and someone asks, "Who did your makeup?" I’m always scared to answer because I don’t know whether they are about to criticize or compliment me. When I’m finished, I feel like I stand in the mirror picking apart every minor flaw. When did you stop feeling self-conscious and more confident? It can be really difficult to know if I’m doing it correctly when many of the videos I watch offer conflicting information or tips.

First picture is the before and last two are from today!

Products used were Charlotte Tilbury concealer, beauty of joseon tinted sunscreen, laura mercier loose powder and rare beauty pressed powder, danessa myricks balm and bronzer, elf blush, dentures highlight and blush.

I did everything lightly this time.

My eyebrows were recently laminated, tinted and threaded with facial mapping(brow artist wanted them thicker but I asked her to trim them to at least this size)

I wear blush, mascara, eyeliner and lipgloss daily, but I’m not really sure what else to do with my makeup to make my style feel more up to date. Any tips?

Whenever I look up makeup tutorials for downturned eyes, I feel like I can never find someone with eyes quite like mine! That might be a skill issue on my part or I just have particularly droopy ass eyes.

Does anyone have any advice? I’d love to do beautiful colors and more alt kind of looks (more rave than emo) but also would love to get any advice generally for like day to day. Like what keywords should I try? Is eye shadow even worth it for my eye anatomy? What styles can I pull off?

This is bare faced but I usually do concealer on the bottom and then foundation everywhere and then brow tint+gel and then usually a clear lash gel.

I’m only newly into makeup as part of my transition so my apologies if I’ve butchered any terminology!

(Ignore how tired I look holy shit)

How can I do this? I chose it because I don’t wear makeup often, and it seemed easier for a beginner like me. I want to achieve this eye look using minimal products.

I see a brown eyeshadow in it, but I’m wondering if there’s an alternative, maybe using kohl or something. My eyes are very similar to this, so I thought it would suit me. I don’t want to use eyeliner because whenever I try, I mess it up, and it makes my eyes look too wide. Plus, I can’t manage to create a wing : ((

I've never really been one to dabble in makeup other than mascara, eyeliner, brow pencil, and foundation. Like the basics. I don't want anything too heavy on my face.

I need product recommendations and color recommendations. Whatever you all would recommend for me, I would appreciate so much!

I have been wearing fake eyelashes since I was 15. I am 23 now and it’s either I go ALL natural (no makeup at all) OR a full beat (always including fake eyelashes)

I’m trying to find a middle ground so I’m not wearing so much makeup on the daily. Recently I have been doing light mascara instead. But, I’m feeling very naked and something’s missing from my face (my lashes) and I hate it. I can’t feel confident without them.

Has anyone been through this same thing?

I feel like my lips are full ish from the front but they disappear from the side. Any advice?? And no, i dont pout, i just have wierd shaped lips💔💔

I've been trying new looks, still practicing.

Kinda frustrated the brand new neon green eyeliner I got recently is a broken pencil 💔 but I'm hoping there are ways I can still utilize the product. How do you guys DIY (or whatever lol) a broken product? Straight up crushing it up to make an eyeshadow is the only thing I have in mind so I hoped maybe if I asked, someone could give me more suggestions 😖 was kinda excited to try out a green look with my Invader Zim Gir dress 🥺

I have 2 questions.

1- I am 32 and I never touched my eyebrows. Never trim them, never put makeup on them. But everyone around me seem to include some eyebrow product in their makeup routine. Would I benefit to start doing that?

2- Also, as you can see, I have one eye smaller than the other. Is there a way to make them look a more similar size with makeup? I won’t do fillers.

Hi hi! I’m looking for help in finding everyday make up that will enhance my features! I’ve been considering douyin makeup but I’m open to hearing what you all think! Hair tips welcome too :p

And also making use of the Scottish sun streaming through the windows x

my skin is VERY sensitive to most makeup brands which is why i typically avoid wearing concealer and/or foundation. i am still 100% open to suggestions w this in mind! im also wondering if id benefit from lash extensions? :)

What product would be best for the black parts? I’d love if it could be the same product for the lips, nose, and eye area.

One of my favourite facial features are my freckles but I feel like whenever I wear makeup they sort of wash out/ fade. how can i prevent this???

I wanted to try something new because my eyebrows are thin, sparse and have no shape. I said I wanted fluffy looking henna brows.

I don’t know if I’m over reacting or if they will settle because I’ve never had henna brows done before…. Is it me or do they not look very professional? I feel they’re two different shapes? The start of them are quite blocky. Particularly the left one isn’t a very flattering shape like quite low?

She also offered threading which I said no to because I hate threading (the last time I had it done was awful) but there was no attempt to even pluck at some of the uneven bits.

They looked ok in the salon but now I’m home I’m just not sure.

I have a wedding next week and I’m panicking!

Am I being unreasonable here?

Hello!

I’ve always struggled with makeup application. I don’t wear foundation, usually just blush, peach corrector, and mascara. Sometimes a winged eyeliner looks good and some days it makes my eyes look horrible.

I’m girly on the inside, but you wouldn’t tell because I have no idea how to do my makeup or style myself. I really want to look more put together. I’ve purchased a bunch of eye makeup and have no idea how to mark it work. I always look like a raccoon or cave man but I think it’s due to my eye shape or eyebrow ridge shape.

My general concerns:

- eyes that pop out and aren’t flush/elongated on my facial profile

- heavy brow

- feeling like my face looks masculine

- dark lips and no clear lip line. I’m not sure if I need to wear lip liner

- i want pink lips, but when I wear a lip color I feel like a kid with spaghetti stains around my mouth (anyone else?? 😭)

Tips and feedback are much appreciated ❤️ any low-hanging fruit I should take action on??? What colors? Techniques?? Anything!! I don’t want to feel like I look like a man. Thank you!

First photo I only have concealer on which is what I do most times because I figure I can’t go wrong. Second I have no makeup on. I feel like maybe following a certain celebs look might help but I’m not sure who either lol help

I have relatively thin lips and a sort of undefined lipline, and whenever I try to use pencil liners, it looks like a drunk toddler did it. (See visual aid below.) I do better with the creamier automatic kind, but I have this one pencil I was hoping I could figure out. Thanks for any advice!
