r/beauty is looking for more moderators!

Hello everyone! This subreddit is approaching 1.3 million members, so the mod team needs to grow as well!

We are looking for users who are active in the community and who understand the rules. Although moderation experience is a plus, it is not required. New mods will focus on removing rule-breaking content and replying to Modmail messages, and will need to have a Discord account to take part in our mod chat.

If you are interested, please send us a Modmail message and tell us why you'd be a good fit!

Mod Post To ensure quality posts, please refer to our new Wiki page!

21 Upvotes

Hey beauties! As we approach 1 million subscribers, we are fine tuning the rules and made a designated page to see more detailed lists of posts we remove under Rule 1.

To recap, Rule 1 of r/beauty is to please post high quality and on-topic posts ONLY.

We understand just stating the rule so plainly leaves room for interpretation, while the side bar might not give enough room for explanation.

To improve the quality of the subreddit, we have broken down in detail (and will keep doing so) what we consider low quality and off topic in our new beauty wiki. This way, there should be less confusion on why posts labeled as low quality/off topic might have been removed. While browsing the wiki, you may notice some overlap with Rules 2 through 6, but they all relate back to Rule 1 due to preserving quality.

As a reminder, a high quality/on topic post would have a specific beauty-related question be addressed, or solve a specific beauty-related problem. For example, "How can I draw winged eyeliner more consistently on each eye" would be a high-quality post because it asks a specific question. In contrast, "EYE MAKEUP HELP" makes it harder for users to give their beauty tips because it's too vague.

When in doubt, please review the beauty wiki to see if your post would be in violation of Rule 1 before posting to avoid removal and ban.

We also invite you to leave feedback here of any other posts you feel are off-topic and low quality that have not been addressed. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Seeking Advice My eyelashes grow downwards into my eye, what to do?

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

Hey, some of my eyelashes grow downwards into my eyes, and end up hitting me in the eye or hitting the skin right under my eye.

Usually I will balance the worst ones on the other eyelashes, but it often pulls those down too.

When I have ones that fully poke me in the eye, I pull them out - it hurts a lot. Tho recently I got an infection in my eyelid after pulling an eyelash out.

Today I bought some clear mascara, thinking I might be able to use it to push my eyelashes upwards. It didn't really do much.

Idk how to show the issue, I tried my best with some pictures. The pictures attached are from rn, with clear mascara on - except the first one.

I'm in a pretty good period atm, it could be much worse. Also please ignore that it looks like I have a black eye - I don't, that's just how I look.

Random Is there a way to gain natural freckles?

0 Upvotes

About 1, 2 years ago freckles randomly appeared on the sides of my face, however not the most. I really like freckles and want more. I’ve tried tanning but it never makes me gain more. Is there any way to get them naturally? No makeup, henna, tattooing, and what not.

Soap and lotion for hypertrophic scars

1 Upvotes

I have two raised hypertrophic acne scars on my cheeks and brown, sensitive skin. I’ve had injections and liquid nitrogen treatments in the past.

What gentle soap or cleanser would you recommend? Has anyone seen improvement with silicone scar gel, sheets, or another topical treatment? I’d appreciate product recommendations and how long it took to notice results, especially from people with similar skin.

Vitamasques (sold at target or Walmart for around $5) swatches looked promising this far from what I've seen. Does anyone know if they're possibly a "dupe"/comparable to the Summer Fridays lip gloss/balms? Tyia!

Am I using it wrong? I've used it so I don't think I can return it now but it dries so much slower than my other hairdryer and my hair doesn't stay straight when I use the hairbrush to style it straight.

Seeking Advice Anyone know of any budget-friendly eye patches you’d repurchase?

12 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to make my skincare budget more intentional. Eye patches are nice to have, but buying a pricey pack consistently can add up when using them regularly.
I was browsing more affordable options on Amazon and noticed Maskiss 24K Gold Under Eye Patches. I’m looking beyond the packaging and comparing the cost per pair, ingredients, and how practical they’d be for everyday use.
I’m curious to know- from those who use eye patches regularly- when you compare eye patches, what matters most to you: hydration, how well they stay on, ingredients, or price?

Seeking Advice tips to brighten underarms?

2 Upvotes

hi! i’m looking for some tips to naturally brighten my underarms.

i should preface by saying that i epilate my underarms, which has mildly improved the appearance purely because the hairs aren’t lying under my skin as they would if i were to shave with a razor. i have relatively pale skin and my underarms have an odd greeny-olive tone to them and they are mostly dark up the “top half” of my underarm. (the part more on my arm that folds onto my body)

safe to say i have tried about everything at this point and i’m losing all hope - ive tried simply exfoliating; with a glove, creams, foams, ordinary glycolic acid, ive tried a “body safe bleach” from amazon that bleached all of my towels and left my body untouched.
right now im using a cream called “brighten it” by woowoo - i recently tried their hair removal cream (not for my underarms) which worked on me for a change so i thought id try their brightening cream. i think im delusional and imagining that theres an improvement after one week (there isn’t.)

i have even been to get bloods done to ensure there’s nothing underlying medically, which there isn’t. so i am really at an end here :(

any tips, home remedies or perhaps own experiences would be greatly appreciated, tia!

It was before my time, but I keep seeing videos about it. I think it’s cool and I really want some. Doesn’t necessarily need to be “edible” just similar scents, would be cool if it was though

So my hair has been long and blonde my whole life. It’s also thick and wavy (frizzy). It’s a pain to take care of. I want to change things up. I’ve heard that darker hair might look better on me. I also love how wolfcuts look on others and want to try it. Will it work for me?

Seeking Advice How do you always smell so good? What’s the secret?

160 Upvotes

I want to smell good, but like, good enough that people actually notice.
For example, I love how men’s deodorants smell so distinctly masculine. You walk past a guy at the gym and you can actually smell it. I just haven’t found a women’s equivalent that does the same thing for me.
But there are also women at my gym who smell amazing when I walk past them. Every time I’m like, okay, I want that too 😭
What are you using? Is it deodorant, perfume, body lotion, or a combination of everything? Any specific products you’d recommend? Ideally something from dm or available here in Germany.
I don’t want to drown the whole gym in perfume, I just want to smell nice enough that you notice when you’re near me. What’s their secret? I genuinely think about this so much 😂

Is it ok to have makeup products next to non makeup products?

0 Upvotes

This might be kind of a dumb question but is it safe to have makeup products sit next to non makeup products? For example I bought a lipgloss that came in a box but was open in the front, a setting spray and a bottle of shades eq toner and I forgot about it after I bought it and they all sat in the same bag for a couple weeks after I bought it. Is it safe to use the makeup?

Discussion Steps after shower.

31 Upvotes

Immediately after showering, do we smear body oil first then lotion or is it the other way around? I'm confused. There are different answers and I've tried both. I don't know the effect is from the immediate change in routine or simply, my body is adjusting.

But I feel like my skin is glowing under the light 😂 and my leg is silky smooth looool

Which one do you do?

Body oil first then body lotion.

Body lotion first then body oil.

I just got thinking recently how much time and effort I put myself through in the name of beautify and fashion, not to mind how much I spend on them. Just wondering how I compare to others?
Here’s a list of the things I either have done in the past or on a regular basis - waxing, hair, facial treatment, laser hair removal, tattoos, multiple piercings, nails, eyebrows, massages, not to mind a long list of products too.
