Hey!! I’m an NC40 shade and I wanted a cream/liquid blush but leaning more to the warm reddish brown shade. I’ve tried the pinks, purples, corals and oranges and I feel like they don’t look good on me. Also i’m not a fan in the finishes of powder blushes, I don’t like the way it sits or feels on my face (feels cakey and my oily skin does NOT cooperate with it). Basically red and brown tones! A weird request: I’m a slight germaphobe and as someone who struggles with a lot of acne, i would NOT prefer recommendations that come in a pot or pan - becauseeeee that’s a lot of dipping of fingers/brushes on the same pot/pan and it’s a hygiene mental block i can’t get over 😭😭 Anything which is in a tube/has an applicator/stick/basically anything that has minimal dipping is perfect Shades I’m thinking are along the lines of: - NYX Butter Melt Blush - Back and Butter - RHODE Pocket Blush - Toasted Teddy - TOWER 28 Luminous Tinted Cream Blush -Power Hour - RARE BEAUTY Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Love/Resilience Budget is max 1200rs ( which is why I couldn’t buy the above 🫠) Thank you very muchhh in advance!❤️ submitted by /u/Sheesh_Kebabs to r/IndianBeautyTalks [link] [comments]

I’ve been trying to get that natural “just went outside for a minute” flush but mine always ends up looking kinda obvious or patchy. I’ve mostly used powder with a fluffy brush and recently tried cream with my fingers but idk if I’m blending it right. My skin’s combo and makeup tends to sit weird on my cheeks by midday. Curious what technique actually makes it melt in for you, like placement or tools or even layering tricks? submitted by /u/asthetic-base01 to r/BeautyItemsReview [link] [comments]

I’ve noticed some of the younger women are applying cream blush right under their eyes, like on top of their cheek rather than off to the side highlighting the cheekbone as I was always taught. Has this changed? I hate dating myself so I want to be aware if this is a major shift. submitted by /u/faux-flowers2025 to r/AskWomenOver60 [link] [comments]

I've always been drawn to the kind of dramatic, smudgy eye makeup that feels like it's lived a whole night out already – that classic '90s alt aesthetic that looks effortlessly cool, not perfectly applied. But let's be real, going from "effortlessly cool" to "just plain messy" is a fine line. My latest dive into the world of deep, dramatic eyes was an attempt to nail that lived-in elegance without looking like I’d just wrestled a racoon. The challenge? Making a really dark, almost black eyeshadow blend seamlessly without turning into a bruised eye, especially on my mid-30s eyelids that aren't quite as smooth as they used to be. Here’s how I tackled this particular beast of a look, aiming for something that nodded to both a '90s alt sensibility and a touch of literary gothic drama: The Goal: A diffused, dark plum-to-black smoky eye with a defined lash line, meant to look intense but not harsh. Think a mysterious poet in a dimly lit library, with a hint of rebellious edge. Key Products Used: Eyeshadows: Base/Transition: A matte, cool-toned taupe from the e.l.f. Cosmetics Bite-Size Eyeshadow Palette in "Truffles" ($3). This acted as a neutral ground for blending. Deepening Shade: A rich, matte plum-brown from the ColourPop "Boudoir Noir" Palette (part of a larger palette, but similar shades can be found in their single pan shadows for ~$6). Applied this with a smaller, denser brush. Deepest Shade/Liner Smudge: The matte black from the same e.l.f. "Truffles" palette. Applied sparingly and diffused. Liner: NYX Epic Ink Liner ($10) for a tightline, and a Maybelline Master Precise All-Day Liquid Liner ($8) for a tiny, barely-there line right at the lash roots – no dramatic wing, just density. Primer: Wet n Wild Photo Focus Eyeshadow Primer ($5). Absolutely essential for dark shadows to stay put and blend smoothly. Brushes: A flat shader brush (a generic one from an Amazon set, ~$5 for a bundle), a small pencil brush, and a fluffy blending brush (my well-loved Real Techniques Blend + Blur brush, ~$8). Application Approach (My Current Best Attempt): Prep: Primer, always. And a light dusting of translucent setting powder under the eyes to catch any fallout before I even think about foundation. (This step saved me so much cleanup.) Base Layer: Lightly applied the taupe shade all over the lid up to the crease with the fluffy brush. This creates a soft transition. Depth Building: Using the flat shader brush, I patted the plum-brown onto the outer two-thirds of the lid, then lightly blended the very edges with the fluffy brush. The key here was patting the color on first, then only blending the perimeter. Deepest Definition: With the small pencil brush, I pressed the matte black along the upper lash line, then very gently smudged it just at the outer corner and into the very outer crease, barely past the lash line. Less is definitely more here. Lower Lash Line: The plum-brown applied with the pencil brush, then a tiny amount of black pressed right into the lash line, only on the outer third. Blended out gently with the taupe. Liner & Mascara: Tightlined with the NYX liquid liner, then a super thin line just above the lash line with the Maybelline liquid liner, stopping almost at the edge of the eyelid – no dramatic flick, just extra lash line density. Loads of mascara to finish. Time Investment: About 15-20 minutes for the eyes alone on my first attempt, down to about 10-12 minutes now that I have a rhythm. It’s not a five-minute face, but it’s definitely doable before heading out. Aesthetic Inspiration: Think early '90s Winona Ryder in Reality Bites meets a slightly more dramatic, brooding look from a literary gothic novel cover – a little unkempt, a little mysterious, deeply shadowed. A 'chaotic curator' who found a trove of antique books and just spent the night reading. Okay, real talk time: This wasn't a one-and-done miracle. My first few tries were, frankly, muddy disasters. I ended up looking more like I'd pulled an all-nighter sobbing over existential dread than a sophisticated 'literary gothic' muse. The biggest learning curve was realizing that "smudgy" doesn't mean "smear everything everywhere." It means controlled smudging. Also, the power of a clean blending brush – switching back and forth between a brush with product and a completely clean one for blending the very edges made a world of difference. And setting powder under the eyes? Absolute essential for avoiding dark undereye circles from fallout during application. I still sometimes get it a bit heavy-handed, but now I know when to stop and lightly tap away excess rather than trying to blend a mistake into oblivion.

Alright, fellow experimentalists, let's talk about those times you look at a color that absolutely doesn't belong with your usual aesthetic and think, "Can I make this work?" That was me last week, staring down a tube of neon green liquid eyeliner, usually reserved for more playful, chaotic looks, and wondering how to integrate it into my generally moody, literary gothic-leaning style without looking like I'd lost a bet. My usual vibe is all deep plums, charcoal greys, and muted berries. Neon green? That's typically a hard pass. But I was feeling a bit restless, craving a little reverie escapist unexpectedness within my comfort zone. The challenge was to introduce this vibrant, almost alien pop without completely derailing the dramatic, slightly melancholic feel. Here's how that experiment unfolded, along with the inevitable "oops" moments: The Vision: A shadowy, almost spectral eye look, punctuated by a single, sharp, electric green accent. Think a dusty velvet curtain with a crack of pure, unnatural light peeking through. I wanted a touch of chaotic curator rebellion within the literary gothic framework. The Gear (and approximate prices – because real life isn't free!): Base Shadows: Revolution Beauty Re-Loaded Palette "Basic Mattes" (for the charcoal and deep grey shades) - around $7. Depth Shadow: A rich, almost black plum from the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette "Warm Neutrals" - part of a ~$18 palette. The Star Accent: NYX Vivid Brights Liner "Vivid Envy" (that very specific, in-your-face neon green) - ~$7. Mascara: L'Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise in black - ~$10. Concealer: e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer (for a quick under-eye bright) - ~$7. Lips: ColourPop Lip Drip Gloss "Cherry Pickin'" (a sheer, slightly berry-tinted gloss for a soft contrast) - ~$8. The Process (and the journey through "not quite"): Smoky Base: I started with a diffused wash of charcoal grey across the lid and blended into the crease, extending slightly into a soft, smoky wing. Then, I layered the deep plum shade onto the outer corner and lash line, building depth. This took about 15 minutes. Attempt #1 (Too Much Green!): My first instinct was a medium-thick line of the neon green above the charcoal. Result? It looked less "ethereal pop" and more "Halloween costume gone wrong." The green was just too dominant, fighting the moodiness. Attempt #2 (Muddy Mess): I tried smudging the green a bit, hoping for a softer transition. Nope. Neon green + smoky charcoal = muddy, indistinct mess. Time for a quick wipe-down and a fresh start. The Breakthrough (Less is Definitely More): On the third go, I focused on a super thin, almost hair-fine line of the Vivid Envy liner, placed right at the upper lash line, starting only from the inner third and extending outwards into a tiny, precise flick that mirrored the plum wing, but above it. The key was to make it an accent, not a competitor. This step added another 10 minutes of careful application. Finishing Touches: A couple coats of mascara, a dab of concealer, and the berry gloss. The whole look took about 35 minutes, including the false starts. The Real Talk & Lessons Learned: Precision is Key for Contrast: When you're introducing a highly contrasting color, especially with a functionalist lean (where every element has a purpose), the application needs to be incredibly precise. A thick, sloppy line would have wrecked the entire moody aesthetic. Unexpected Harmony: What surprised me was how the sheer, cool intensity of the neon green actually made the deep plum and charcoal appear richer and more saturated, rather than overpowering them. It created an interesting tension, a visual hum. It truly felt like I was curating a small, shocking detail. It's All About Balance: The rest of the face remained intentionally minimal (just the sheer gloss and light concealer) to ensure the eyes were the undisputed focus. Any bold lip or heavy contour would have made the look feel too busy. This experiment taught me that even the most "unsuitable" colors can find a place within your preferred aesthetic, sometimes creating the most intriguing results. It's about how you integrate them, not just whether they "match."

Choosing the right blush formula makes a bigger difference than most people think. Shade matters, yes but the texture and formula decide whether your blush looks smooth, natural, or patchy. Some formulas melt into the skin. Others last all day. And some can make pores and bumps stand out more than you want. To help you understand the differences, here’s a full breakdown of cream, liquid, and powder blush, how they work, who they suit, and what to use for the finish you want. Key Differences Texture and Finish Powder Blush : Powder blush has a soft, lightweight texture that gives you a matte or satin finish. It sits well on set foundation and stays in place, making it ideal for long wear. Powder blush is great for a soft, natural look but on textured or dry skin, it can sometimes cling to bumps or look patchy. Cream Blush : Cream blush has a smooth, balmy texture that melts into the skin. It gives a fresh, dewy finish and blends easily with fingers or a sponge. Cream blush works best if you prefer a youthful, glowing look. It’s especially helpful if your skin is dry or you have uneven texture. Liquid Blush : Liquid blush is lightweight and fluid. It blends easily and looks like natural skin. Many liquid formulas are sheer but buildable, so you can go subtle or bold. Liquid blush also works well on textured skin because it doesn’t cling to bumps. It gives the softest, most seamless finish of all three. Best Skin Types for Each Formula Your skin type can help you decide which formula performs best. For Dry or Textured Skin - Choose Cream or Liquid Cream and liquid blushes blend smoothly and won’t cling to dry patches. They give a hydrated look and help skin appear fresher. For Oily or Combination Skin - Choose Powder Powder blush helps control shine and stays put longer throughout the day. Satin-matte powder blushes work especially well in warm or humid weather. For Normal Skin - All Three Work If your skin is balanced, you can choose based on the finish you’re after glowy, matte, or natural. Application Techniques Applying blush the right way can change the whole look. Powder Blush Technique: Use a soft, fluffy brush Tap off extra product Apply over set foundation or powder Blend in circular motions Cream Blush Technique: Use clean fingers or a makeup sponge Tap gently to blend Apply before powder products Build color slowly Liquid Blush Technique: Start with 1-2 small dots Blend with a sponge or brush Work quickly if it sets fast Build layers for more color Longevity and Wear Time Powder Blush - Longest-Lasting Powder blush grips onto your makeup and stays in place, especially on oily skin. It offers the longest wear and keeps your makeup looking fresh all day. Cream Blush - Medium Wear Cream blush gives a natural flush but may fade faster, especially in hot weather or on oily skin. It’s great for a no-makeup makeup look but may need a touch-up. Liquid Blush - Medium to Long Wear Liquid blush lasts longer than cream but slightly shorter than powder. Because it blends into the s kin, it fades softly rather than patching. Which blush formula is best for you? Choosing between cream, liquid, and powder depends on your skin type, preferred finish and how you usually do your makeup. Here’s a quick guide: • For the longest-lasting, shine-controlling color - Powder Blush Best for oily or combination skin. • For a natural, dewy glow - Cream Blush Ideal for dry, mature, or textured skin. • For the most natural, skin-like finish - Liquid Blush Works for all skin types and blends the smoothest. • For versatility - Liquid or Cream Blush Both layers are well under powder and work for everyday looks. submitted by /u/Juhezmane to r/BeautyRecommendation [link] [comments]

Okay, so picture this: I was trying to channel some serious literary gothic vibes, but with a practical, slightly undone edge – like I’d just stumbled out of a dusty library after a particularly intense reading session, not a photoshoot. My goal was to make a deep, almost black cherry lip wearable for a regular Tuesday without looking like I was about to perform in a dramatic play. The challenge? Avoiding that harsh, overly defined look while still getting the moodiness across. It was less about perfection and more about capturing a feeling. Here's how I tried to make it happen, along with the inevitable twists and turns: The Vibe: My brain was screaming "moody librarian meets '90s alt grunge," a kind of understated dramatic look that whispers rather than shouts. I wanted that rich, vampy lip color but with soft edges, paired with something subtle yet intriguing on the eyes. The Lip Color Conundrum: My go-to for deep tones is the "Eternal Abyss" liquid lipstick by Cryptic Cosmetics (around $16). It's a gorgeous deep plum-brown that looks almost black in some lights. The problem with liquid lipsticks, as we all know, is they can be unforgiving. My first attempt was just swiping it on, and… it looked like I’d eaten a berry pie face-first. Too stark, too precise, too there. The Eye Experiment: For the eyes, I wanted something that complemented the lip without competing. I grabbed the "Moonlit Mauve" single shadow from Stardust Beauty (about $8), a muted, almost dusty lilac with a hint of shimmer. Technique 1 (Fail): I tried just a wash of color all over the lid. It looked… fine. But not the mood I was going for. Too sweet, not enough edge. Technique 2 (Better): I decided to lean into the chaotic curator aesthetic a little, just by being less precise. I took the same shadow on a fluffy brush and swept it very softly, almost haphazardly, around my entire eye, connecting it subtly at the outer corner. The key was to diffuse it heavily, almost blending it away. Then, I took a tiny bit of the "Midnight Soot" gel liner from Urban Ritual (approx. $12) and just pressed it into my upper lash line between the lashes, not above. No wing, no defined line, just a hint of depth. The Lip Redemption (After Much Blotting): Step 1: Instead of direct application, I put a tiny dot of the "Eternal Abyss" liquid lipstick on the back of my hand. Step 2: I picked up a small amount with a fluffy eyeshadow brush (a clean one!) and patted it onto the center of my lips, building the color slowly. Step 3: Then, using my ring finger, I gently blurred the edges outward, almost staining my lips rather than painting them precisely. This gave it that "just bitten," lived-in look. Step 4: Crucial step: Blotting like my life depended on it with a tissue. Two or three times, just to get rid of any excess and make it last. Time Invested: The whole face, including the lip trial-and-error, probably took about 20-25 minutes. The lip alone was a solid 10 minutes of patting and blurring. Real Talk & Lessons Learned: Honestly, the first few tries with that dark lip were a mess. It bled, it looked clownish, it made my teeth look weirdly yellow. I almost gave up. But blurring with a brush and then diffusing the edges with my finger made all the difference. It went from "Halloween costume" to "I swear I just finished writing a really intense poem." The biggest surprise was how much a barely-there, almost smudged liner and a very diffused shadow could elevate the look without making it "heavy." It felt more functionalist in its simplicity, even with the gothic undertones. The main takeaway? Don't be afraid to take a product meant for one thing and use it in a completely different, less precise way. And always, always have a good tissue on hand for blotting. It saved me from looking like a very sad mime.

Am I the only one who struggles with the application of the Ilia blush? I know it's supposed to be buildable but I feel like my brush (it's one of those angled brushes & some drugstore brand) is just not picking enough of the product... It's probably because this blush is a mix of cream and powder (I've only done powders before). Can you recommend a brush for this type of blush please? submitted by /u/toffi_99 to r/Sephora [link] [comments]

I am a beginner at makeup and when I try to use blush, be it powder, liquid or cream, the result looks too dark on me. It doesn't blend well on my skin. Kind makes me look like a clown or sick.

We often talk about hidden gems & holy grail products, but not everything we try can be amazing. Tell me about makeup products you’ve tried that ended up really missing the mark or straight up sucking! Maybe it’s a lipstick that turns your lips into a total desert. A foundation formula that oxidizes so badly, it’s unwearable. A primer that broke you out badly. A setting powder with no oil control or made your well prepped skin look flaky. A concealer that creases so badly, it makes your under eyes look like you’ve aged 20 years overnight. Super hyped cream blush that melted your makeup or has zero lasting power. Heck, even a heavily perfumed bronzer that smells so awful & lingers throughout the day is fair game! If the performance sucks or you hate it, I want to hear what it is & why you will never buy it again! Let’s save each other from buying crappy makeup! 💄 *If applicable, please share your skin type too, as it helps everyone with similar skin know what to avoid like the plague!!* submitted by /u/TheDollyMomma to r/Makeup [link] [comments]

Learn from my humiliation, kids. Setting spray is *not* just for your face. I recently discovered (and love) the It Cosmetics Do It All concealer stick (in Tan Neutral 410) and realized it also works beautifully on covering a couple of hyperpigmentation spots on my lower leg. However, today, I also discovered that it is not transfer-proof — even hours after initial application. I was kneeling on this bench for kneeling one arm dumbbell rows and the concealer transferred to the bench. I know your next question — did I notice this *before* I then sat my hindquarters flat on the bench in my stark white gym shorts? No, no, I did not. So I then got to walk around the gym looking like I couldn’t hold my preworkout in. Oh, this of course happens to be the night my gym crush shows up and I spend the rest of my workout walking backwards through the gym to avoid giving him a bad…. second opinion. Lesson learned! Now I may need to try one of those green color correcting creams to reduce the scarlet red blush of humiliation from my cheeks. No, not those cheeks. Sigh. submitted by /u/HorseTearz to r/MakeupAddiction [link] [comments]

On both sides I am wearing the powder topped with the cream. If you also felt like Just Enough pulled too bright and peachy on you but you liked the Patrick Ta formula, Thank Me Later might be just what you’re looking for! Right off the bat, the powder is much less powdery (less picks up in both finger swatches and on the brush) and the cream is much more sheer, which I like! With Just Enough, I felt like I couldn’t layer them without it being too intense on my very fair, slightly muted skin, but I love a dewy cheek, so I almost always wore the cream on its own. With Thank Me Later, I’m able to layer *or* build them up individually and I don’t have to be nearly as careful in my application. submitted by /u/ElevatedAssCancer to r/swatchitforme [link] [comments]

Hi — I searched the sub and got a few ideas but nothing quite like what I’m looking for so figured I’d ask. I’m on the hunt for a good dewy cream blush. For example some of my past faves have been RMS pots and palletes with their luminizer. Recently I’ve been using up Cièle’s blush but the packaging applicator etc is not as up my alley. Wishes: small ish and portable (this isn’t a huge idea in general for blush of course), creamy, buildable, staying power. Comes in a few shades but ideally at least a kind of classic rosy pink (my everyday shade — I’m light/fair with cool undertones.) happy to spend some but would never want to pay more than like $50 at a absolute tops for a blush (way cheaper than that preferred but that’s my upper mark if there’s something perfect). In an ideal world I’d LOVE a French brand or something that stylizes itself kind of French. Totally open to other brands too if you think of anything that meets this mark. But I looooove to play up my French girl side and even though it doesn’t make a difference what it looks like to others * I * feels sexier and cute and more myself even in my makeup routine as I put it on (and tbh I think I carry myself more that way when I know I’m wearing a French brand for some reason, ha). Appreciate any recs! submitted by /u/DarthPup692 to r/Makeup [link] [comments]

I’ve done this before but I wanted to update it Skin type: incredibly dry and sensitive. Skin barrier is prone to damage if not careful Skin problems: patchy, flaky, dry skin. redness on cheeks and forehead/whole face. Dark under eye circles. Very very minimal acne on occasion. No texture, doesn’t struggle with creasing. Make up preference: i wear make up 4/5x out of the week.I like an extremely light weight concealer that isn’t FULL FULL coverage cause I like a no make up kind of look since it’s for everyday. My main concern is just covering up redness and any small marks/discoloration and evening out my skin tone. I hate a dewy look and dislike a satin look, I just don’t like any shine/glow Skin tone and color: I’m considered a light and I’m neutral but warm leaning nars light reflecting setting spray: it’s meant to be hydrating which is why I got it but the one time I used it and went out I felt like I looked horrible/it made my makeup look weird??? Maybe cause it was a satin finish and I like matte? That was months ago tbf I barely rmbr and I will use it when I run out of my current trusty elf (black bottle)setting spray to see if I like it again but yeah for the price and that I have way cheaper alternatives I’ll def pass Nars concealer (shades Madeline and vanilla): first of all are we rationing out here? What’s going on with the amount of product ur getting compared to how much ur paying for??? The mini is such a joke!!! A lot of ppl on tik tok were saying this is the #1 concealer but honestly it’s perfectly average like there’s nothing particularly astounding and magical about it. Ik some ppl found it drying but for me it was fine I think? There’s such an enormous amount of concealer options I just don’t believe this is liquid gold like influencers on tik tok say it is.I def don’t reach for this anymore after using it a few times and the price compared to the amount of product?? Not in this economy. Better and cheaper alternatives fs Charlotte Tilbury contour wand shade fair??: first of all $42???? I only got this cause it was trendy on tik tok… why tf influencers gotta be lying to my face like this 😭 dries down way too fast making it hard to blend and the dot turns out patchy/splotchy and u can see the outline of the circle no matter how much u blend I swear. Color is so extremely dark for “fair” and I personally like a slightly sunkissed warmth to my face so I don’t look dead look not a noticeable bronzed/tanned look. And I did in fact accidentally not lock it and it kinda got every where in the cap. I’ll laugh in ur Face if someone ever genuinely recommended this when there’s so many cheaper alternatives Laura mercier hydrating primer: so it did feel rly nice and hydrating when I put it on it didn’t feel greasy. But the dry patches STILL showed through HOWEVER TBF I didn’t have a skincare routine when I used this so I’m sure it’ll look better if I use it now but the reason why I wouldn’t buy it again is cause I have a cheaper alternative 🤷‍♀️ I do have to say tho it did feel nice and hydrating! Refy blur and hydrate primer: I liked the feel of it but it didn’t feel moisturizing as it felt thin and same w Laura mercier, dry patches still showed but I didn’t have a skincare routine when I tried this so the result could be different. Idk if I can say it really blurred anything either.. has anyone tried this primer? As I said I have a cheaper hydrating primer alt so I wouldn’t buy this again CT spray: okay before I get jumped.. it just didn’t impress me compared to my trusty $6 elf spray!!! I also noticed a lot of times when I used this my face immediately felt so TIGHTTTT and idk why??? I do use this before I put on powder sometimes I’m sure it melts my make up fine and all but it just did not impress me esp for the price. I barely used it I swear and I’m almost done already with it. Ppl say this holds their make up together amazing whether it’s in certain weather or activities or just daily wear but like I said my elf spray does the job too. I also don’t use this after powder cause I hate anything slightly glowy Ole henrikson cc sticks peach and banana: for the price there’s barely any product I feel like it gets used up fast too. My friend said she noticed dark circles improvements in just a few days but I didn’t (tbf I sleep at 6am every day). It’s also SOOOO PATCHY no matter what eye moisturizer I used it was ALWAYS patchy it looked so bad and separated so easily just absolutely not. Gisou lip oil in cherry on top: liquidy and thin formula. This formula seems to make the lip oil just start gathering towards the bottom of my lips if that makes sense??? 😭 It doesn’t apply evenly and I feel like it REALLY seeps into my lip lines even tho I never have that problem. It also doesn’t last at all I swear it starts fading in 30 minutes. Summer Fridays balm in cherry: it’s just nothing special 💀 YSL candy glaze lip gloss stick (shade 1)and candy glow balm(shade 5B): just didn’t impress me especially the candy glow balm although I love their love shine lol Dior addict lip glow 007: very drying I can’t even swipe it on my lips smoothly cause it’s so dry and when I put it on my lips look dry it doesn’t feel moisturizing AT ALL like wtf??? Glossier balm mango: it’s okay it’s nothing special it’s just Vaseline basically. Ppl say they had problems w the formula being weird and oily but mine hasn’t done that so far had it for a few months it’s just a basic lip balm Tarte lip vinyl lotus: VERY GOOPY and stringy!!!! If u especially don’t exfoliate ur lips beforehand and u have dead/peeling skin good luck it’s gonna be a sticky goopy stringy mess!!!!! Absolutely NOT. Make up Mario contour stick medium: nothing special I wish it blended out faster but that’s it really there’s just nothing special for me to want to repurchase it when I have a cheaper alternative CT powder: I’ve noticed this makes me slightly orange when I put it on (I did a side by side comparison) and it’s blurring/smoothing is decent. I feel like it doesn’t hold up my make up that well.. esp for the price it’s just mid even tho ik everyone swears by it. Huda beauty in poundcake and Laura mercier powder translucent : don’t get me wrong these were nice but because my skin is the way it is these just made my skin look and feel so so so so so dry and look cakey and crusty even tho I would apply as little as I could. It made it look like make up was just SITTING on my face yk?? (BTW I USE LANIEGE NEO BLUR HYALURONIC ACID POWDER since none of my other powders work, so natural yet matte so smoothing and blurring feels so good and it lasts all day, doesn’t make my face feel dry. I’m unsure if Sephora carries this specific product) PRODUCTS ID REPURCHASE Sephora collection Glossed 10wild: it’s so pretty it feels nice on the lips and for the price hell yeah!!!! Underrated asf Sephora collection lip plump gloss shade 7: same review as the Glossed one!!! Tower 28 hydrating concealer shade DTLA: i like how it feels it obv doesnt feel drying I love the more watery formula compared to the ones I’ve tried it’s so easy to swipe on and blend and for the price?? Yes!! This is my main concealer I don’t see why I’d ever need to switch Haus labs blush hibiscus haze: I LOVEEEEE THE COLOR SO MUCH OMFG it’s so perfect?? I have a tendency to accidentally go heavy handed on powders and most blushes on the market are so high pigmented but that just doesn’t work for me cause I’ll look super crazy. But this blush is very buildable and the pigment prevents me from overdoing it by accident which I appreciate so much. Laniege lip balm berry:I literally bought this in another shade since I’m half way done. This feels so good and moisturizing on my lips and it lasts hours like my lips just feel so so good!!! And the gloss isn’t sticky and heavy it’s perfect. However the color is pretty sheer if that matters to anyone Dior lip maximizer shade holo pink: (this particular color i use as a topper) I have 5 of these… these look so good and I gotta say I would repurchase these!!! They feel good they look good ik ppl say the applicator is tiny but I can apply a perfect even amount with just a few swipes Dior lip oil shade berry: these feel and look SO FREAKING GOOD I love these so much it’s one of my main lippies I have been loyal too since day 1. However I’ve noticed these seem to turn a brighter/cooler pink after a few mins of application I think it’s to match ur ph even tho it doesn’t specify that on the website??? That’s my biggest woe for sure but I would still rebuy Laniege hyaluronic acid cream moisturizer: gave in to the hype and it does feel good but if ur skin is intensely dry def try their intensive cream and I would repurchase these bc ik they have this at tj Maxx for $20 LOL. This does have a fragrance but it’s not strong but I wasn’t expecting it cause why fragrance in skincare lol but my damaged skin barrier had no reaction to it so yay YSL blush shade 93: SORRY LMFAO I ACTUALLY WOULDNT REPURCHASE THESE simply cause of the price YSL love shine lip oil stick shade 44: I have 5 of these they apply soooo freaking smooth and it feels moisturizing and not dry I love how it feels on my lips. This particular shade looks really diff on me/pulls off cool toned than the model pics which I found disappointing. My everyday shade is 209! YSL bronzer: THE TIK TOK INFLUENCERS WERE RIGHT FOR ONCE THIS IS THE BEST CREAM BRONZER IN THE WORLD there is simply no competition. At first I was intimidated by the color but it blended out BEAUTIFULLY and SOOOOOO quickly i was genuinely impressed and I rarely ever am!!! Absolutely amazing product so creamy and insanely affordable YSL deserves more love I also have their highlighter submitted by /u/Electrical_Web7621 to r/Sephora [link] [comments]

This has been my everyday blush since they gave it away as a birthday gift years ago. I bought a new one after running out and was wondering why it didn’t seem to pop on my skin…turns out the shade is now warmer and lighter (hard to capture in a photo)! On top of the size change controversy I’m ready for a new cream blush! What is the best one for easy application with fingers? submitted by /u/Brilliant_Feeling197 to r/Sephora [link] [comments]
