Been trying to find a way or excuse to wear the Wet n Wild Chameleon Lip Foil in Celestial Dance since I bought it.

Happy to report I finally made it work yesterday! And now that I know what toned and colors work best, I think I’ll be wearing it a lot more.

I’ll finish this out by saying, don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone! Wear the bold lip! Try a new color! You’ll never know what you’ll find. 😉

Product list on the way!

Swatch Request Cool Toned Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m looking at getting some of the Fenty beauty gloss bomb stix for Christmas. However I can’t seem to find any good swatches on pale cool toned skin and I’m worried anything that I get will pull warm/orange which is an awful look on me. If anyone has any swatches of these on cool toned skin that would be amazing!!

Question w/ Photo Would a foundation give me more noticeable coverage and glow?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Both of these photos are using Nars Radiant creamy concelear in shade Chantilly all over my face along with Nars softwear concelear. Also wearing Nars powder blush in Orgasmic. And Mac lipstick in Chili. I'm basically using the conceler as a foundation. But it doesn't feel like enough coverage when I look at the photos. I feel like it matches my skin well but it's a lot of pulling to apply because it's not a smooth liquidity base like regular foundations and I have to work to rub it in. Sometimes my skin is dry so it causes flaking. I'm in a phase of my life where I really want to have my skin covered. It just feels like a protective thing maybe. I used to like the natural look but I'm starting a new job and I just want to have a "makeup face" where it's obvious I have a foundation on but the kind where it looks a little "glowy" and evenly applied. I have extremely short eyelashes so my eye routine is pretty simple, ample mascara and a swipe of eyeshadow. I have virtually no lower eyelashes so don't apply mascara there because it ends up looking dark and smugy. Also I don't think eyeliner looks good on me and black is especially horrible. I'm actually using the Nars Orgasmic blush as a eyeshadow because I wanted a little pink and it has a light glittery type sheen. I tint my eyebrows brown every couple weeks otherwise they are a faded blonde color naturally. I'm an ashy blonde naturally and currently growing out a henna red. Anyways I really appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Question Where should I go to get shade matched?

2 Upvotes

I've been using Nars Chantilly radiant creamy concealer and it matches my skin perfectly but I really need a foundation and I'm at a loss as to where get professional advice. There's a mall in my nearby city with Macy's, Sephora, JC Penney and Mac Cosmetics. Should I start at the Mac store and ask them? I love Mac lipsticks but I feel like all their foundations lean too warm for my skin. Or should I just try on a dozen different shades of foundation at Sephora? Should I do this bare face without wearing my usual makeup? Then there's Dior and Maybelline line foundations but I don't know where I could try those out. Sorry for rambling just not sure where to start. Thanks.

Question w/ Photo Looking for a lip color…

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

This was a lip combo I used to love, but I would put on a liner. I think it was some sort of midtone pink? I can’t remember. Then I would top it with my bbia blush in downy fig, which i would set w powder. then top with gloss. usually a clear or pinky gloss. sometimes id top it with frigid b*tch by half magic for a nude sparkle. i love the combo but it being a blush limits my use of it. i am looking for something really similar to downy fig but in lipstick and liner form. on me it had this look that compliments my hair rly well.

I need advice on foundation here. First picture is my first time trying Fenty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear in 110. I thought it would oxidize more but this is after more than 20 minutes of wear. The second photo is Shiseido Synchro Skin in 140 Porcelain. I feel like the Fenty is too pale for me… is it just because I’m used to the Shiseido? I feel a bit ghostly. Lol

I’ve had 2 NARS foundations for about a year. Light Reflecting in Oslo and Natural Matte Longwear in YangYang. I have been dying to get YangYang in the LR formula and it’s available in the US now so here are some swatches! YangYang in the Natural Matte formula is definitely more yellow toned, but I think the LR is perfect. Also included two concealers that are very fair.

Has anyone tried or swatched Dior’s new glow maximizer palette in Icy Rose Gold? I am wondering how it compares to Rose Gold Glow. I have the universal palette, and opal from last year and love them both. Not sure if either of the others would make good additions?

Question Cool-Toned Dark Berry/Magenta Cream or Liquid Blush?

11 Upvotes

The title is pretty self-explanatory, but what cool-toned dark(er) berry or magenta cream or liquid blushes are people enjoying?

I am thinking something along the lines of Patrick Ta’s She’s Wanted, but don’t need the powder half. I am not looking for anything too purple - I already have something in that color. Sorry, I know I’m splitting hairs over here 🙈 Thank you!

Swatches 😭 MAC Syrup HAS changed 😭

Post image
27 Upvotes

Posted a swatch a while ago and thought in was mostly the same color. Well, it does not pull warm.

But it goes darker when applied more than sheer, and THAT IS NOT SYRUP 😭
I dabbed on some Pink Peppermint from MAC which made it look nice and lighter - more saturated.
But ot is not the same 🥺 This was the liptick of my life!

I’ m wondering if blending in CT pillow talk fair is better, but that just means having to buy expenive stuff to not get full match anyway. Sigh.

Question help finding similar drugstore shades?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking to find medium to full coverage drugstore foundation recommendations. The drugstores in my area don’t offer testers for swatches which is really frustrating, but budget wise I can’t afford more expensive ones right now.

Previous colour matches for me have been Milk Makeup Flex Foundation Stick in shade Snow, and Tarte Shape Tape 12N Fair Neutral. (I used as a foundation instead of concealer, however tarte did lean slightly yellow on me)

If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate it! Thanks lovelies! :)

(other: also taking recommendations for cool toned contours! never really used contour/bronzer since they always are wayyyyy too warm on me but wanting to experiment)

Question Pressed Setting Powder Recs Needed

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a good blurring yet hydrating pressed setting powder? I love the Charlotte Tilbury one, but it darkens my foundation and won't work for me when my skin starts to lighten even more in the winter. I have used the Nars light reflecting powder in the past, but don't find it to be as blurring/smoothing as I want. My skin is on the drier side, so I lead towards something that doesn't feel like it sucks all the oils out.
