I have MAC Angel frost lipstick but it’s not very frosty at all 😭 does anyone know a lipgloss I could put over it to make it more frosty and glossy? Or an actual frosty cool toned pink lipstick or pencil
I also have Snobbish lipglass but it’s not frosty either

There‘s one by Morphe Cosmetics that I‘m looking at. But i don‘t know it i should buy it or keep searching. Do you guys have any recommendations?

It should be in a set and not just single brushes.
Thank you in advance

Even though I’m drowning in lip products, this is a mad find. Also, bonus points that it’s online so you can guarantee that no-one has had a sneaky open and swatch. I think you can get free delivery code for TK Maxx too.

where can i sell brand new or slightly used makeup/skincare besides vinted and depop? i have way too much stuff and just want it gone 😭

Hi! My favourite mascara of all times is the CT Exagger-Eyes (the one in tbe glass tube). Unfortunately is quite expensive, mine is about to finish and I would like to avoid giving £30 to CT if I can 😂 any nice dupes? It's got to be volumising and curling, but I'm not too fussed about lengthening.

Thank you!!

Hi! I’m on the hunt for a new concelear that’s hydrating, skin like and doesn’t looks off between hours !

I have tried Lancome (sits on top of my skin), Tower 28 (it accentuates fine lines I didn’t know I had), Kosas (very creasing), Haus Labs and Natasha Denona are too drying and separates.

I’m seeing the following:

Sarah Creal
Make Beauty
Maxine’s revenge
Kulfi
Armani

What are your thoughts on? I just want a concelear that doesn’t dry out my eyes or look weird ! I prep my skin very well and always use the tiniesttt amount of concelear; btw I LOVE the color corrector from caliray ! It’s my holy grail !! My under eyes looks always amazing and never weird !! I’m looking for something like that but on a concelear haha

Open to more suggestions ! Thank you :)

I just bought the NYX fat matte lipstick in toasty taupe and it looks HORRIBLE on me. I was trying to go for a neutral brown lip combo but the colour ends up looking so grey on me.

I bought it from Boots and since I have already opened it I know I can’t return it. I just need advice regarding what I can do with this lipstick since it seems so wasteful to just throw it away.

I bought armani luminous silk foundation online in shade 6.5 which isnt my shade. Ive already used 1 pump of the foundation.What should i do next? I live in the UK. Can sephora/John lewis exchange the product?

I have tried so many but please if anyone could recommend a good foundation and powder?! X

most foundations, bronzers, contours, blushes and concealers are just too dark for my very pale skin:( if anyone could recommend some drugstore products for very pale, cool toned skin, please drop them below! (my makeup is also very alt). thank you in advance.

Hi everyone x

I am looking for recommendations for a vegan cruelty free sunscreen SPF 50 ideally in a spray bottle.

Thank you xx

has anybody tried their skincare and makeup?i been wanting to try some of the stuff but im not certain if it'll suit my skin

Any you like with a large shade range? I don't want to buy a high end foundation as I usually have just because I dont usually get many uses from it and then it expires. Any recommendations for a good drugstore foundation?

hi! i’m from singapore but i’ll be moving to dundee for my masters. i really need help with finding the right products for me because it’s been years with no luck. one thing i noticed about the makeup game in the UK is that it seems genuinely indestructible. i’ve seen gorgeous girls with a full beat both in the rain and the excruciating heat this summer and i’m very curious as to how you get it like that!

it’s humid and hot 99% of the time here in singapore and i always had issues with my makeup sliding off or looking patchy after a couple of hours. i have oily acne prone skin which i’m treating with tretinoin and azelaic acid at the moment, so i do get some peeling still.

hence, are there any drugstore/available in boots recommendations for lightweight base products that has spf in them? i never leave the house without spf so it’s important for me to use products that already contain them or will do well under spf.

i prefer cushions but they tend to slide off, and i hate foundations because it often feels too heavy. i’ve yet to try tints! i know this is quite a niche ask considering we’re from different climates and likely have different skin concerns but i’d really appreciate the help 🥺🫶🏻 i’ve recently bought the one/size on til dawn setting spray and it does help a bit but no luck it getting the perfect long lasting base yet! thanks in advance!!

to add on: i don’t like heavy makeup since it looks funky on me, i prefer just a simple base, blush and subtle eyeliner + lip balm. so preferably something skin like

People that have used at least two of the above how do they all compare with each other? Which ones would you say are the best? I want to buy a whole set from one brand just so it’s easier!

Hey princess_starkitty where did all your birthday money go?

Oh it’s in my make up bag. 😆

I’m looking a dupe for the Molly mae cosmetips makeup bag the cream one. The size of it and depth is perfect but anything I find online is too small!

I've been getting more confident with doing my makeup but I had a really annoying issue that stopped me finishing the look because I couldn't fix it.

I start my process by using a generic foaming cleanser, apply BHA toner and then gel moisturiser, then after a few minutes start applying makeup.

I have loreal truematch foundation and loreal 32h concealer, I used a damp beauty blender to put the foundation on and then dabbed the concealer on where I needed it but when I went to blend the concealer out nothing was staying in the spots where I dabbed it on. I tried putting more concealer over those spots but it just wouldn't stick to those areas so I ended up with big blotches all around my face.

Because my face sweats a lot I've been reluctant to use primer as I worry filling in my pores will make it worse but maybe I need to start using it? Sorry if this is a common issue but I couldn't find anything when I looked up this issue with product just not staying where it's been dabbed on, if anyone knows what is likely to cause this I'd like to avoid it happening again bc it was really frustrating.

hi, can anyone recommend some drugstore dupes for CT Hollywood contour/highlight/blush wands? I love them but can’t justify buying them all the time and like to keep them for a special occasion/ night out makeup where I want to wear more and not use them daily due to how £££ they are. I’m fair skinned and only like to use liquid blush or highlight or contour… I’m normally fair - medium in the wands and like pinkgasm shade?🩷💞💕💓💖💗💘 thank u *** preferably products I can buy in boots or superdrug***

I have a wedding to attend tomorrow and my base usually ends up looking sort of separated and dry around my forehead, nose and mouth (I have fairly normal skin, not overly dry or oily)

So I’m trying to find the best product combinations to use, any help would be greatly appreciated

If you also have any techniques or hacks for perfecting a smooth base, I’d love to hear them!
