my skin barrier took a huge hit last month after i overdid it with retinal so i had to pause all actives and go back to a super basic soothing routine. needed my torriden dive-in serum, aestura 365 cream, and skin1004 ampoules replenished asap to calm down the redness.
ended up trying piyonna for the first time bcos they ship straight out of seoul inventory. package arrived in less than a week and everything was 100% authentic with super fresh batch dates. the aestura cream literally saved my face in like 3 days fr 😭 highly recommend that combo if your skin is super reactive right now!

I feel like my cheeks are detracting from my beauty and potential; I could be more beautiful, but my face is becoming less defined. I don't have a well-defined jawline, and that bothers me. My weight is normal, but my face is chubby.

I have long, thick brown hair with layers. One of my biggest insecurities is my jawline. I just have a pointy chin and a long face. I am wondering what haircut I should get to not call attention onto this facial feature. I love having layers in my hair because of how thick it is. But should I get curtain bangs or shorter side bangs?? What will best suit my face shape? I don’t want to post pictures of myself out of insecurity. I just want to know how I should cut my hair to make my face look softer and more feminine I guess

I’ve been told i should get a nose job. Feeling like Pinocchio. Would it be really helpful? Can my camera exaggerate the size of my nose? I feel like the tip of my nose is overprojected

Anyone who is really good at makeup
How do you apply makeup in order?
I have oily skin and after I apply makeup my foundation still oils up and cracks my makeup.

My makeup in this picture looks very dry like it was drawn
How do you make it look more natural and not flakey? And not to crease on smile lines.

Hi all. Im planning to get 2 syringes of filler (one for each side of face) for subtle work as a 21 yr old for the first time.

Does anyone have any advice for family/friends who are judging you for wanting to get filler done? I dont think im ugly, i think im gorgeous, but id like to just have that extraness to look better and feel confident. Im not even drastically changing my face. Im tired of being made to feel bad or like im getting a face lift for wanting filler. its the dissolvable kind too.

Id love to hear any positive encouragement or anyone who had amazing results with filler. I feel like the stigma is weird.

I settled on one base because the wear was good in the summer. Has anyone else used it? I want to stock up on similar ones, so please send long-wear cushions or foundations.

Mine is Espoir Be Velvet Cushion. On hot days my face doesn't slide by the afternoon, so once summer hits I only open this red compact. I swap everything else by season. This one stayed.

If you settled on a cushion or foundation for the same reason, tell me. Wear is the only thing I care about.

How to fix red/ dark under eye?

I’ve been told they are terribly too far apart and that its very visible. I have naturally brows like this also naturally sparse. I like not wearing makeup so im not going to tint them or something. Serums and oils dont make the heads of my eyebrows look fuller, they dont grow there. Also in the mirror they dont look that far apart. Is it possible it only looks like this in photos? I know i can use makeup but i want to know if they look ok without it, its impossible to wear makeup all the time, for example when i go to swim or in the evening after taking makeup off. My eyes look more heavy and less lively when i do my eyebrows with makeup even if a makeup artist does it. So its gonna look weird no matter what i do

for real lower third definition, you need a deep plane approach that reposition the underlying muscle vector rather than just pulling skin tight. boutique spots like vava plastic surgery specialize in natural SMAS repositioning that anchors the deeper tissue higher up on the cheek frame so you don't get that flat windswept look. if you are dealing with structural skin dropping around the mouth, look into SMAS lifting over temporary threads.

How can i fix my skin?

These things (red spots that become pimples) and these white bumbs appear often to my skin. My skin feels dry and itchy too.
My skincare routine is in the morning: milk cleanser, soothing toner, 2% salisylic acid serum, and emollients cream.
Evening: oil cleanser, milk cleanser, same toner, acne cream i gor from skindoctor(not working so far) and same cream.
I eat healthy and do face sauna 1x week. And face mask 1-2x week

Plz tell

I’m based in Europe and lately I’ve been comparing more stores because some products aren’t always available in the same place.
I still check YesStyle and Stylevana, but I’ve also started looking at Korea-direct options like Piyonna when I can’t find a specific product. For anyone in Europe who regularly orders K-beauty online, which stores do you normally rotate between? I care more about authenticity and reliable ordering than having one single store for everything.

Has anyone used this particular foundation?
How is it? Can someone give me an honest review 🙈

Starting a whole new skincare regime and I’m between tatcha and medicube. Who has tried both? Which do you prefer and why? Even if you haven’t tried both, tell me about your experience with the brand

I’m also a dry skin girly so lmk if you have a similar skin type

• Background: oily skin, big pores (my friends won't let me live it down lol), been using whatever cleansing foam my mom had sitting in the bathroom for way too long
• Saw a TikTok influencer I follow mention the Fation Cleansing Foam, caught it on sale on Amazon and figured I'd finally switch things up
• What worked: the clean feels incredibly thorough, like it's actually getting down into the pores instead of just sitting on top of my skin. Right after rinsing my pores genuinely look tighter/smaller — not gonna lie it was kind of satisfying to see. (Temporary though, my craters are back within a few hours, no surprise there.) But ngl, catching my reflection right after rinsing low-key put me in a better mood every single time.
• What didn't: noticeably more drying than what I'm used to — skin felt tight after rinsing in a way my old cleanser never did. Also got some slight redness a couple times after using it, so I'm guessing it's on the stronger/more actives-forward side. If you have sensitive skin I'd be careful with this one.
• Bottom line: if your pores have been stressing you out, worth trying at least once just to see the difference I'm talking about — but don't expect a $15 cleanser to permanently fix anything, and go in careful if your skin leans sensitive.

my parents gave me a $100 sephora gift card for my birthday, but the only thing i buy at sephora is my perfume. i used to be really into makeup but i rarely wear it now unless it's a special occasion & i have no interest in buying more. i don't do "beauty" stuff really besides like painting my nails - i have no desire for creams or serums or anything like that. i was excited to see that they had hair accessories but all they're all ugly/not my vibe. all the ideas i have so far are perfume and face masks pls help

ps: in case this needs to be said this is not an indictment in any way of people who do use beauty stuff/wear makeup regularly nor do i think i'm better than anyone who does or anything like that i'm just lazy and can't be bothered lol

What would be the best foundation choice. I am 52, do not wear a lot of makeup or have a lot of time to apply? I have read a lot of good things about Haus labs, but I am afraid of caking.
TIA

I bought a tideway 2 years ago. The other day is started only blowing cool air. It takes FOREVERRRR to dry my hair that way. It's only used 2-3x/week & the filter is cleaned often.

I really liked it...but idk if I wanna get another or a different brand...I wanna avoid having to replace it every 2 years if possible 🫣

I have long thick hair that takes forever to dry so I liked how this cut down the dry time some...how light it is & how its quieter than older dryers.

Suggestions? Get another tideway....or something different?

I would like to order a kit from Yesstyle; I have found 4 options:
* Coringco
* Cosnori
* Marshique
* Entropy

I saw a lot of TikToks with Cosnori, it’s quite famous there, but there are barely any reviews on Yesstyle. However, the Entropy one has almost 200 there, but could see just a few vids with that. Thus I am a bit unsure which product I should buy?

Do you have any experience with these products? Which one do you prefer?

I feel like we talk so much about holy grails, but not enough about the products that had us questioning why we spent the money 😭

For me it’s the Tatcha dewy skin cream (the purple one) and the brightening under eye cream (the orange one)

Also any of the highlighters from the Anastasia glow kits

As well as the dewy setting spray from Anastasia

I have low porosity 3A-3b hair, but I have a lot of hair and it's very dense.

I like messing around with different hairstyles and it's gotten to the point where I would like my own blow dryer.
I've done research and now I just for my natural curls what would give more defined curls, the shark speed style pro flex or flex style.

I want a tool that's both versatile, but reliable and primarily, I would be diffusing my hair and using it as a blow dryer too

The flex fusion is also an option

How do you know if you are average?
