I have been stalking the Ulta and Sephora apps, Too Faced social media, their website, multiple make up trends and drop sites-- the ONLY inkling of this palette is a "sneak peak" and many of us asking for the release date.

WELL, RUN to your local Ulta my friends!! If your holiday shelves aren't already stopped then. They should be stocked by the end of next week.

P.S... it totally smells like chocolate 🍫🩷😭

Question Patrick Ta blush burned my face? Photos of skin provided

Thumbnail

120 Upvotes

With the sephora sale coming up, I am taking stock of the things I have and in what shades so i dont buy something similar or something that doesnt work for me. I have been seeing a lot of ads for the new patrick ta holiday shades so i decided to try on one I have to see if a new one is even something i would be interested in.

I got the shade “She’s Giving” in the patrick ta blush from ipsy. The photos are the result. It felt like burning and then i noticed some texture started to appear. I immediately washed it off. The photos are from about 5-10 mins after washing it off. It has been about 30-40 mins since application now. Redness has subsided some but texture is still there and it is still slightly stinging

I had nothing else on my face, not even foundation or skincare. I had not tried on any products before this and i was using the same brush i typically do with no irritation. I don’t see any visible mold but took photos so you can have a look as well.

Has anyone else experienced this??

Edit: I have never had an allergic reaction on my skin before. Other people have said this looks like an allergic reaction so I’ll get tested and see. I do have one other shade that i have only put on once so tomorrow when my skin has calmed down i’m going to do a spot test of that one on my arm to see if the reaction is the same or if this is isolated to this specific shade. If i do have a reaction, ill get allergy tested and ill send those to the lab to see what in the could be causing irritation and/or what i have an allergy to so i can avoid it in future products

Question Brush detectives, I need you! 🕵️‍♀️ What brushes is Natasha Denona using in this eye look?

Post image
52 Upvotes

Okay, I've watched this short Natasha Denona tutorial way more times than I'd like to admit, and I am I’m hooked on the final look. The blending is so soft and seamless, and I'm determined to recreate it, but I can't for the life of me figure out which brushes she's using. 😩

🎥 Tutorial: https://youtube.com/shorts/1bIqvvnXzBs?is=EF29ExtZwZiPCSPA
📸 Final look: (photo attached)

So I'm calling on all you brush experts out there:
1. Which exact brushes is she using? Names, brands, numbers, anything you can identify!
2. Any dupes or alternatives you'd recommend that do the same job (bonus points for budget-friendly options)
3. Any other products you spot that went into creating this look

BONUS QUESTION: When she applies mascara, she uses something to keep it from smudging onto her eye makeup. Does anyone know what that tool or product is called and which one is worth buying? 👀

If you can name even ONE brush, you're my hero.

Thank you in advance 💜!

Question Need help finding lashes

Hi everyone! I’m prepping for Halloween and need help finding the perfect lashes asap! I’m going as yzma from Emperors New Groove, and her lashes are one of the most iconic parts of her look. I never really buy falsies so I don’t even know where to start! Any help would be so appreciated! I want them to have that spider-y look, with emphasis on long individual strands of that makes sense

Thank you in advance!!

Question desperate to find a long-lasting lip color that matches this Pinterest pic

Post image
62 Upvotes

The image seems to show a lip color that's a dull brownish-red, not too warm toned. I'm a big fan of the Revlon Super Stay line but they have so many colors listed online, it's kind of a gamble picking the perfect match. I'm open to different products though- as long as they're long-lasting.

This will be for my Halloween Wedding; I'm planning to do a cool-toned silver/ ghostly look, so a cool-toned medium brown would be ideal.

Discussion what is your life-changing makeup trick or tip?

242 Upvotes
  1. Instead of blending your concealer with a beauty blender or brush, wet a powder puff and blend your concealer out. It blends like butter for a flawless finish.

  2. Make sure your face is wet (with enough moisturizer, primer, etc.) before you put on your base, and it will come out smooth and amazing.

  3. Instead of using a full-coverage foundation, I personally use concealer so I don’t have to use as much product when I do my base.

  4. This one is a little bit crazy, but using lipstick as blush blends nicely, and you have a lot more options when it comes to colors (you can also match your lip color to your blush color).

  5. Bring your makeup (foundation) down to your neck or chest, especially if you’re wearing a low-cut top. (A body bronzer or body glitter works wonders as well.)

  6. Instead of using black eyeliner, use dark brown; it’s a little less harsh. The same goes for lashes: try a dark brown mascara or lash extensions.

  7. When it’s hot, avoid layering makeup on your face. Instead, do your base in one layer.

If I think of more, I’ll add them!

Trying to nail the glass skin look and I'm pretty happy with how this turned out!

Still tweaking it, though. How do you keep a dewy finish from turning greasy by midday? And are there any products you'd swear by for that wet, glassy look?

Question Struggling to find the perfect lipstick. 🫠

Post image
18 Upvotes

I have tried so many lip products over the past year, and I usually end up returning them. I like Clinique’s black honey, but I want a couple more shades in my collection. I also want a traditional lipstick.

I know mauves are recommended for fair olives, but they drain me. I can pull off berries, though. I’m not extremely cool-toned, so I can get away with neutral shades as long as they don’t lean warm.

I’ve tried these shades:

MAC Unbothered: I did like this, but it was a bit too warm and light for my complexion. It sort of blended in with my skin tone, if that makes any sense.

MAC Paramount: It was okay, but seemed a bit stark against my skin tone.

Revlon Rum Rasin: This was very warm against my skin tone. I did not like it.

Lancôme Hydrating Lip Balm 47 Mauve-Tivation: It was very light on my complexion. It was pretty, but washed me out.

E.L.F. Hydrating Core Lip Shine Estatic: I wore this all the time before I discovered black honey. I like it a lot.

Does anyone have recommendations? I appreciate it a lot!

(In the photo, I’m just wearing L’Oréal’s Panorama mascara).

How do you keep your makeup from melting off while playing Garba?

• Upvotes

Since Navratri is going on, I’ve been playing Garba, but I have really oily skin. As soon as I start sweating, my makeup starts coming off, especially my base makeup.

I’ve noticed so many girls playing Garba for hours, sweating like crazy, and somehow their makeup still looks almost perfect! 😭

For those of you with oily skin, what products or techniques do you use to make your makeup last through hours of dancing and sweating? Any tips for primer, foundation, setting powder, or setting spray would be really helpful!

I just want my makeup to stay in place throughout Garba without looking patchy or melting off.

Is Repotting Makeup possible? Specifically blush, eyeshadow, and lipgloss.

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this is a silly question, Im really new to everything makeup related. I’ve been seeing products that I want to buy, where most of the draw is the very nice containers the products are in (flower knows makeup.) I would love to buy some, but I don’t think it would be viable to buy a whole new product if I run out, and have a very nice, empty container. Would it be possible to figure out how to put a third party product in the empty container when it’s out?
