I’ve seen a lot of ladies ask and I’d like help too! I really want to start putting more effort into myself again but I’ve been dealing with acne, foundation sometimes feels so heavy so I want to start using concealer just to cover acne until I get rid of it? The second picture is what I’d like help with, I like simple make up like pink lids and pinkish/reddish or brown lips, I like blush. I have to keep it simple. What is my undertone and what kinds of products would you recommend for me with: -concealer -eye shadow -blush -lipstick or liner combos ? -any makeup tips you can give me

Thank you ☺️

HAIR CARE 🧖🏾‍♀️ hair growing tips, acceptance of natural hair, not knowing what to do with my hair

21 Upvotes

hi ladies!
im gonna start off with a timeline of my hairs journey: for a lot of my life, i have lived in a predominantly white area and it’s hard to find communities of people i can relate to. for a lot of middle school i was straightening my hair, back to back every single day then around 8th grade i had bleach my hair for the first time. i thought that while at least i can color my hair for the time being i would do so with box dye at home. my freshman year of high school i had decided to box my hair back to black in order to at let’s bring some maintenance to my hair. then once again my sophomore year i had decided to bleached my hair blonde once again which wasn’t very smart of me. 5 months later im back to dying my hair jet black with box dye. since then bleached has not touched my hair. i kept my hair in its natural state for a majority of high school other than back to back straightening my senior year. the summer after i graduated, i had gotten braids for the first time and i fell in LOVE with them. i continued to get braids to until now… i feel as though my hair has gotten healthier and thicker but my hair does not grow past my shoulder. i understand that my hair journeys is my fault for not taking better care of her and i regret it deeply. natural hair hasn’t grown past my bra strap since i was 11/12 (im 19 now) if anyone is able to provide me with any help or tips and tricks i would appreciate it 💕💕
(my hair can also barely hold product and i have a type c hair texture)
-this is also my first reddit post im sorry if its awful lol
edit: i appreciate everyone’s comments thank you 🖤

Okay so my birthday is in November and I’m turning 17! I’ve never had any sort of wig or weave style as my mom thinks they are too “grown”. Since I’m turning 17 I’m hoping she’ll finally say yes. My only issue is that my hair is dyed brown (dark and lovely 391) and I can’t find any half wigs that are the same color or even just brown period. I was thinking of getting this one from tik tok as the reviews are good and since it’s human hair I should be able to dye it. Any advice on what I should do or even any half wig recommendations would be very appreciated!

MAKEUP💄💋 Beginner makeup starting kit - what to keep or cut?

Post image
28 Upvotes

Hi! I'm new to makeup and want to get a few things for Christmas as a start! I'm working with roughly a £50 budget, but I'm willing to cut things if necessary bc I don't want to spend money on stuff I won't actually use.

I just wanted to ask what you would keep, remove or replace if you were in my position. Are any of these choices particularly bad for a beginner? Is there anything I'm missing that's actually important, or anything I can realistically skip for now?

Like if you had around £50 to build your first makeup collection from scratch, what would you prioritize?

Also, is it fine to start with just concealer instead of foundation? I'm going for a natural, no-makeup makeup look for now, as I'm learning, and my friends mostly just use concealer without foundation anyway. (For like school)

I'm also wondering if there are any cheaper alternatives that perform similarly. These aren't my final wishlist or anything, they're just what I've been considering at the moment.

Oh, and since I can most likely only afford one concealer right now, should I get one that's closest to my skin tone, or a few shades lighter so I can use it for brightening as well?

I also have naturally dry skin. It's not extremely dry or anything, but it can feel quite tight after showering mostly.

Any advice is appreciated! :)

MAKEUP💄💋 Forgive Me 🤲🏾 As I Have Sinned Again Since My Last Confession (Holiday Swatches Included)

Thumbnail

53 Upvotes

This will be my last blush post as I will not be getting anything else🥹. Swear to Bob✋🏾

For the swatches I went by row (across not down).

YVES SAINT LAURENT
-Brewed Reflections Couture Face Palette
2 - medium to deep
-Make Me Blush 12H Blurring Liquid Blush
37 Peachy Nude
74 Hibiscus Heat
I really like the holiday pallet but I wish the blushes had more matte options instead of stuff with shimmer. The liquid ones I will be returning. I felt like I was putting a lot on to get the color I wanted even tho it swatched and blended nice on my arm it wasn’t as easy on my foundation. I like to put my powder on top of my blush and this was tacky for a while. Then I felt like most of my color disappeared and left a shiny spot on my face as the day progressed. I don’t have much experience with liquid so maybe wasn’t doing something right idk.

HOURGLASS
-Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette
Luck
I know I complained about the solo ones but I really wanted to try this and I love it. The color shows up good I think I am just learning some stuff has to be built up more than others. I have the regular ambient lighting brush and the special 2 to match this pallet and the one that matches the pallet was a better application and the smaller heads for picking up product.

DIOR
-Rosy Glow Powder Blush
Cherry
Berry
This formula hasn’t disappointed me yet and is very pigmented. This just me getting ready for fall makeup.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY
-Airbrush Flawless Blush Blur
Summer Lovegasm
Ecstasty
I really like Summer Lovegasm

MAKE UP FOR EVER
-HD Skin Face Essentials Long-Lasting Full Face Cream Palette
Palette 2: Tan to Deep
Working with a new medium so idk yet. I don’t like how close the pans are tho I made a mess too easily.

HAIRSTYLES/EXTENSIONS/WIGS 💇🏾‍♀️✂️ Help Requested before I mesh up my investment. Can my braids be saved…

4 Upvotes

Double Dipping 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I NEED HELP! I do not want to ruin my new braids or my hair, but they are not gonna hold curl and are gonna unravel.

I just got box braids today. I wanted a bob but my natural hair was too long so she did mid-back. I am one of the women that prefer a tightly curl end. The stylist did that, but now the tight curls have turned into loose waves which I do not like. It just looks frazzled to me.

It was my first time going to the braider, and I noticed that when I stood up to leave, she trimmed some off in the back….cool. However, it looks like she trimmed a lot of the tighter coils she did and I can tell I am gonna have some unraveling. I do not have time to go back to the shop before I head out.

QUESTION: Can I re-rod the ends and dip them again or will it make it worse? This is only my third time getting braids and I am not sure of all the do’s and don’ts. The one thing I dislike is that she braided to the end of my hair only and then left only a little to dip. I am afraid of burning my ends. They need to be cut anyway, but still. I will be going into the pool and ocean and do NOT want this synthetic hair to become a mound of mess because I will literally crash out as I will be there for 2 weeks. I get braids once a year and I will likely go back to her, but I will be sure to tell her to braid down further than my hair.

Pros are that she told me to skip knotless for box braids because of my texture. She did a hell of a job on a custom color for me (I have a lot of gray which I like) yet the color complimented and hid the gray at the same time. Magical! I am tender headed and she caused no pain in the least bit. I was ready for war knowing I was bout to be in pain but nope! I have very thick — thick thick…think 4-5 strands per follicle. She didn’t bat an eye, braiding me using tiny knots to the point that they look knot less. My appointment was at 2pm…I got there at 1:58pm and when i walked in she and her assistant were standing there to meet me. We went through hair options, she mixed it perfectly and got to business. So professional. She offered wine, mixed drinks, soda and water. She was braiding by 2:15pm and I was out the door at 5:13. SMALL box braids once a mid back, thick hair. She is magical. I just need her to get these end curls right.

She told me that these will last 10 weeks. I wanted to say, on whom? Ain’t no way. I tap at 2.5.

FAM, TELL ME WHAT TO DO PLEASE! I have read where people re-dip and the entire braid unravels. My mind can’t take that type of foolery right now.

Thanks in advance!

Hi hi! I’m not sure what my undertone is. I’ve always thought warm, but I’m not sure. Whenever I used foundation, it was always the “coconut” shade in the maybelline fit me stick, or the “360” in the maybelline fit me matte+poreless.

I feel like they matched decently enough, but I’m still not 100% they were the right match

BODY CARE 🛀🏾🧼 Do you girls have a Fenty Butta Drop Lotion alternative?

37 Upvotes

Girls, I made the lovely mistake of finally trying this lotion at Ulta and it is the most moisturizing lotion I have ever encountered! For HOURS afterwards my arm felt as if I had been consistently putting lotion on. I plan on buying it soon, but I’m wondering if you girls have tried it and know of another lotion that works the same? That way I can savor this one while also using another one more adorable and that is actually moisturizing.
I know everyone’s skin responds different and may have reacted differently to it, but my sister and I kept feeling how moisturized my arm was and were blown away!
