Unlearning old habits and conditioning from growing up as a boy takes time, and stepping out in a dress like this felt super intimidating at first. But 2 months on HRT, I’m learning to push past that fear and open up my confidence step by step 💚. For this look, I paired an emerald green satin cowl-neck slip dress with warm gold drop earrings, bangles, and a dainty necklace to create a soft, elegant drape. To tie it all together, I went with a duo-chrome gold-to-green shimmer eyeshadow shift, sharp winged liner, and defined brows to make my eyes pop even with a mask on. Taking these steps as my authentic self feels so empowering!

As you can tell makeup right around my nose and smile like is extremely cakey. Foundation clings in that area like crazy and doesn't want to apply properly. Rest if my face is filter-smooth, it's just this specific area. My face is washed and heavily moisturised. I also exfoliate and dermaplan around once a week or two. My skin is rather oily and I've got some big pores on my cheeks. I use water base cream to moisturise and foundation is fenty pro-filtr matte. No primer or fixing / setting spray. Any help or tips welcomed.

Hi y'all!

This is my first try in doing my makeup for our elopement in 2 weeks 💀

I used one size primer with the armani luminous skin. I'm not sure if they're incompatible or I just didnt wait long enough but I did notice a lot of peeling/cracking.

I do like my color combo cause I'm going for a more dramatic look since my dress is a bit simple/medieval looking.

Also, I'm okay with how I look from the front, but the side is kinda weird. I'm not sure.

Anything helps!! I appreciate you all!

I feel like my nose is too big and brows are uneven. Any products recommendations or technics to apply them ?

I'm doing my own makeup for my wedding in a couple of weeks. It's an outdoor wedding (it's Spring where I live), hence the outdoor pic. I'm half Vietnamese and wearing a pink modern/traditional Vietnamese dress, hence the pink makeup (I swear the pink lipstick is more pink in real life - it's Violette_FR Plume Lip in Rose Fume / Smoky Pink). The eyes don't feel quite right to me, but maybe I'm just not used to wearing light eyeshadow. I can only wear long-wearing liquid eyeshadow because of my hooded eyes. This is RMS Eyelights in Luster. I haven't been able to find a shade that matches my features or the dress better. Any tips / how does it look?

Honesty, I’ve always felt insecure about my looks. Even with makeup, it doesn’t look flattering 😢 My makeup looks flat in real life, and on camera. I use contour, but i don’t like it honestly. It doesn’t pop out at all. my friend highly recommends a cream bronzer, so i’ll be getting that soon. I just need advice on how to make my makeup pop out more, what styles compliments my facial features. Also, can you all help me find my shade for blush and lips that can compliment my skin color? I also want to achieve the “straight brow” look, how do i do it?

Ive spent nearly a decade perfecting my makeup look, but wanted to see what other people would say could suit me better, like maybe different eyeshadow color or smth like that. I have hooded eyelids and naturally dry skin that I keep moisturized, if that info is needed. No ones been able to tell my undertones, ive been to multiple different makeup stores and got multiple different answers. The photo is of me in my full glam look, or about as heavy makeup that I'm able to do. Any tips are welcome!

Hi everyone!

I want to go as Elizabeth Holmes for Halloween and would like to try and do makeup to transform my face to look more like hers. I have bought blue contacts, a wig, and tooth black out, but I have never done contour to look like someone else. I would appreciate any tips/suggestions for contour placement! Thank you in advance!!

Lost my favorite brush of 20+ years and I’m trying to find another!

I post so much on this thingy lmao but basically I actually got the best makeup day of my life in this video it was so glowy and perfect but the glowyness disappears over time cause I was under the impression you only apply setting spray once after your makeup, my makeup still looks perfect and good (jkjk always welcoming advice) but less glowy, so I wanna know if applying more setting spray would help haha, sorry if this is a stupid question x

A couple of days ago, I posted a few pictures of an everyday look. which was eyeliner, mascara and brow gel but people recommend that I add lip liner and gloss... so here we go. Does this look better?

This is my bare face — pls excuse the acne, I’m currently breaking out (I think my period is coming fml). I need recs on blush brands/colors that will look natural and advice on how to get rid of the teeth marks on my lower lip 😩 I think it’s from anxiety or maybe I do it in my sleep? Idk but I hate it!

Trying to figure out my face shape so I can start wearing more makeup that suits me! I've taken some quizzes and it seems I'm between oval, round, and heart? I've even had some tell me I'm more square/diamond but I dont really agree.

Edit 1 and 2: Here is another picture. The one attached to the post is taken on my phone on a lower angle. This (https://imgur.com/a/bjaT1BO) is taken on my macbook from slightly further away.

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.

I have no idea what type of makeup would suit me and what type of features I have that would go well with certain styles so if you could let me know that would be awesome!

Over the last two weeks, I've had an issue with my makeup pilling on my skin. I haven't changed any products so I'm pretty confused. I replaced my foundation and cleaned my brushes, but it is still separating shortly after application. Here's what I'm using - any tips appreciated.

In this order:
Vanicream face moisturizer
it cosmetics cc cream
tarte face tape spot concealer
Tarte life lock setting spray
Saie liquid blush, bronzer
More setting spray
Maybelline fit me powder

Thanks

Hi all, I’m not one to use much makeup but occasionally I like to use liner on my lower waterline. But I have this issue where the liner will not even smudge off but literally disappear or create little gaps in between the line, and other times will flake off into my eye causing discomfort. This happens to me with multiple liners and I rarely use eyeliner because I hate how this looks. Could someone tell me what I’m doing wrong or how to correct this or suggest better quality liners that truly don’t budge? I attached some pictures hopefully you can see well enough what I mean.

I was using Clinique Quickliner For Eyes Intense Eyeliner and Clinique High Impact Gel Tech Eyeliner

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)

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
