I only really got into makeup about a year ago (I lost 170 lbs & finally started with self care stuff). Anyways, I've been working on what techniques and colors are best, but I'm worried I'm doing makeup that ages me. I don't know, I'm not sure. I'm 45.

some low quality pics in my room ^{_^} was a really fun process but i realised i need to get a white eyeliner😛

products used: *TIRTIR Red Mask Fit Cushion (21N) *Judydoll Contour Face Palette (02) - for mapping out the details *Flortte Wow So Light Eyeliner (#01) - finer detailing *Essence Super Fine Brush Liner *Heme Color Blush (06 Rosy Tan) - to add some dimension *NYX Jumbo Cream Eye Crayon (Milk) - highlights

I’ve been a lurker for a while but figured I’d post for the first time. Please also enjoy my kitchen in the background.

can you tell how much i love highlighter, falsies, and blush 😹 products used: focallure pot concealer shade #2 (my fav concealer! doesn't crease fr), maybelline powder foundation in 120 (keeps my oiliness all day), some unbranded eyeliner, brow powder that doesn't have a name, judydoll contour palette in warm, dazzle me ink gloss in toasty ink

I will occasionally do no makeup looks or other stuff, but I thought this was a fun comparison. Especially seeing the weight gain and hair change.

Also, the outfit and shoes are all from goodwill! Thrifting can be so fun. I also got the rings from a yard sale event, peaches to beaches.

These things are $50 a pop (Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish)

I collected 5 tins, scraped the corner bits, and combined them with alcohol. If it works, it’ll be 1 rounded tin.

This has been a long time in the making. Will report back 🫡

My daughter is 13, turning 14 soon, and has recently gotten really into makeup. She has a whole organizer with foundation, concealer, lip glosses, eye brushes, mascara, and more. She also wears false lashes regularly and is now asking me for enlarging (circle) contacts to make her eyes look bigger.

I want to support, and I understand that makeup can be a fun and creative outlet. But I can’t help but wonder—is this too much for her age? I’m worried about her becoming too reliant on makeup for confidence or being influenced by unrealistic beauty standards she sees online.

Here’s what she currently has (based on what I can see in her organizer): • Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in the shade 150 rose vanilla • A’pieu Juicy Pang blusher • Essence Lash Princess brown Mascara • concealers from rimmel multi tasker in shade rose ivory • setting powder for elf halo glow light pink • Makeup brushes (face and eye brushes) • Eyelash curler revlon • Eyeliners infallible 600 black and 605 brown • Rom&nd Glasting color gloss Lip glosses in shade 01 and 03 • random makeup sponge • Hairbrush and comb • lip liner rimmel lasting finish exaggerate in 063 eastend pink

She’s not wearing full glam every day, but she definitely puts in effort and follows beauty trends. I try not to shame her, but I’m also trying to find that balance between letting her explore and making sure she’s not growing up too fast.

Would love to hear from other parents or even teens— • How much is too much at this age? • Has anyone else gone through something similar? • How do you talk to your kid about balance and self-image without making them feel judged?

Thanks in advance!

What do we think?? Had a bridal makeup trial today! I think it looks really nice! We talked about having the brows a little less bold, but seeing them outside I think they look okay! Anything else we should change for next time??

Hey guys! Prom is coming up and I wanted to DIY a smokey dark red smokey eye. The pallet I had my eye on is now sole out though, so if you guys know any affordable and pigmented dupe pallets with dark red, shimmery dark red, dark brown, and black please recommend them to me! Thank youu

My regular no makeup/makeup routine mostly consists of color correction and spot correcting. I think it’s nice because I’m using extremely light layers, and my face doesn’t feel super heavy afterwards, but I’ll feel really fresh and new. It’s definitely not a routine for everyone since it’s time consuming to build it up, but it’s extremely meditative for me when I’m getting ready!

Clown Look:

Milk Hydro grip as Primer.

I used white wool and stuck it on with prosthetic adhesive (probably wouldn’t suggest that as it’s so STRONG) You’re better off using eyelash glue.

Then I used red embroidery thread and layered it on the white yarn to make the clown nose.

I can’t remember where I got my lashes from but I try to support small businesses :) If you search ‘Faux mink lashes’ on Etsy or Amazon you’ll probably find something similar (Duo lash Glue)

Benecos liquid eyeliner.

For the lips I used Nyx lingerie liquid lipstick in shade ‘Strip’D Down’ and kimchi chic’s white concealer for highlights on face/ around my eyes (My eyeshadow palette is discontinued but any will do I especially love kaleidos eyeshadow palettes!)

Love you guys! 🤡💞

Today I used the Sephora precious gemstone pyrite pallet and used the essence eyeliner. I also used the haus lab foundation. For the lips I used by Mario lip pencil in rich mauve. Does anyone have a good recommendation to keep eyeshadow lasting longer?

Some background: I love doing my own makeup and thought I was going to do it myself for my small wedding. Then I panicked and hired a MUA. I gave this inspo pic and the first chance she gave me a mirror during the process, I was shocked. I tried to communicate what I needed changed, but it didn’t really work. Everything was so wrong. Thankfully I had enough time to redo it and love the final look!!

My reminders to: - always get a trial (this one was on me) - If you love doing your makeup, do your own makeup for your wedding!! Don’t second guess yourself

I made this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/s/96sn6NIcRe before and your advice was so helpful! Here’s my FOTD after reading your advice and trying some new things. I got new lip liners, highlighter, blush, and translucent powder (although I’m not sure I needed that or that I did it correctly lol). Product list in the comments! Any more tips or recommendations are super welcome:)
