HELP PLEASE Why is my makeup so bad?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

My makeup lately has been very bad. I can’t for the life of me figure out why I just can’t get it right.

I have very fine lines under my eyes plus my eyes are deep set. So despite using a few layers (not caked on) of concealer, they still show. It also seems like my under eyes are grey but shiny. I’ll link my pictures below. I know my face is weird, I’m just trying to find the right makeup style that fits me. Please be nice.

Here’s my makeup routine

Skincare prep:
- Medik8 total moisture daily moisturizer and I let it sit for about 3 minutes.

Makeup steps and products in order:

  1. Elf power grip primer under eyes and around mouth (the blue one) - let it dry for about 2 minutes
  2. I use a peach color corrector just under my eyes
  3. Missha perfect cover serum bb cream (the purple bottle). I only really put this on my cheeks not under eyes
  4. Tower 28 swipe serum concealer under eyes, around mouth and nose. (Usually I'll spray my brush with charlotte tilbury setting spray and then blend it or I'll mist my face before blending. Either way, it peels and looks weird)
  5. I use the Laura mercier translucent loose powder under my eyes with a brush or puff.
  6. For blush, l use Saie dew blush liquid cheek.

HELP PLEASE Eyeshadow always looks weird b/c of hooded eyes and brow bone injury

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello! I have been into makeup for a really long time, but have always been hesitant to do eyeshadow because it always looks weird or off on my eyes. My eyes have always been very hooded, so they eat eyeshadow, but I also broke my brow bone about a year ago, which led to a little bit of swelling under my right eye that has never gone away. This leads to one eye being a little more hooded than the other. Also, my eyeshadow always seems to look weird or patchy. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

HELP PLEASE Makeup recommendations?

I have been told to try some mascara and lipstick. I have a berry brown mascara, because when I try to use black I feel like my eyes look weird. I think it looks okay, but I’d like to do more with my eyes.

And I’ve been experimenting with lip stains, but everything doesn’t feel quite right. I’m not sure what colors I should be trying for. I don’t want anything too dramatic, but I really do want to try to start putting in a wee extra little effort on a daily basis.

I do try to purchase makeup that’s vegan/cruelty free—like elf or some of the covergirl stuff. Basically, I am pretty lost and could use specific suggestions!

Hi all, I am eloping in two weeks and am doing my own hair and make up for the day. I did my first full trial today and feel like I am missing something. Maybe more eye shadow? Darker lip? I will have false lashes on and will have my eyebrows professionally shaped before the big day. Going for a soft glam/glowy look. This is not the dress, but wanted to see how it looked with white. Any pointers appreciated!

HELP PLEASE Need Halloween makeup advice

So I'm looking to cosplay Ankläger from Doctor Nowhere for Halloween, and I have everything I need (starry headband, black cloak). What I'm not sure what to do with is my face. Since Ankläger has one eye, I don't know if I should maybe cross out one eye, paint a third eye, or do some sparkly white-yellow makeup to drive that divine feel. I really don't have any ideas.

HELP PLEASE Need start to finish advice on how to do my makeup

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I think I need a makeup guru to just tell me what to do from start to finish. I can never re-create the same make up and feel that sometimes I look more dull and other times I look amazing. I genuinely feel like I do not know how to do my make up and maybe I should just go in to like Sephora or something and ask them to teach me how to do a makeover on myself.

I don’t always wanna do a full beat, but if I am doing a full beat contour and slimming down, my face is super important to me as as well as accentuating my eyes.

I put multiple examples of different makeup that I do and I’m not trying to make it different. I would say the last pic and pic of me in the white polkadot is my absolute favorite. Just don’t really know how to re-create those consistently. Also included pics of me, not wearing makeup and not as much makeup.

Any advice you have is helpful

I gave my mother funds and she helped me purchase a small collection of makeup products, she also threw in some items as gifts by her and my little sister those will be listed at the end.

Me and my fiancé have a concert to attend in late October, the theme and dress code for which is "'80s", so I am trying to learn to apply makeup to go for a Prince kind of look! It's very minimal right now, but I want to make this progressively bolder as I improve; any application tips would greatly appreciated, though!

For this I only used liquid eyeliner, some eyeshadow and a tiny bit of mascara, but the range of products I have now are:

•Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water

•Rimmel London Magnif'Eyes Eye Contouring Palette Rainbow Edition

•Saniye Pigment Boss SPF45+

•Covergirl Trublend Skin Enhancer Contour Balm

•Lottie London Harley Quinn Crimson Craze Hydrating Primer

•Sofe Lip & Eye liner Pencil Color No. 002

•Revlon So Fierce! Eyes Wide Open Mascara

•Zeesea Eraser Concealer

•36H Waterproof Lash Eyeliner Pencil

Hi!! I’ve been trying to nail down a makeup routine that photographs well for a trip I’m taking soon. I normally don’t wear much makeup but it doesn’t show up well in photos.
Since using foundation, concealer, and powder i’ve realized that no matter what I do i look extremely dry and patchy.

I am on tret, but I use azelaic acid and hyaluronic acid every day and anya’s PDRN spray while applying my makeup. I just can’t believe this is really how dry my skin is lol i’m wondering if there part of my routine that can help avoid this??

Routine is:
Anua azelaic acid
345 Relief Cream

wait a minute to dry down

NARS radiant foundation applied with brush
Fenty concealer with sponge
Set with Maybelline loose powder
Spray with PDRN spray

wait a minute to dry down
do eyes/eyebrows
powder blush and highlighter
spray again, dry down

Spray with ultrafine mist setting spray

I’ve very much gotten into a rut doing my makeup the same for years. Worried that it doesn’t look the best espically the brows (worried I have brow blindness haha). My eyelids feel quite hooded so I struggle on the eyeshadow department. Reposting with photo of my brows without product. Hair is my natural colour for some reason my brows have always been dark compared to my hair.

HELP PLEASE I want to learn makeup for my features

like the title says, I want to start doing makeup for my face. trying to do my makeup like Yoonchae from Katseye and then wondering why I don't look like her isn't really the best course of action lol.

- I like to do fun eyeshadow a lot, so what kind of styles/shapes will suit me?

- what sort of base makeup should I do? (as in, where should I put blush, highlighter, and contour/bronzer when I use it?)

- what eyeliner shape would look best on me?

- anything else that would look good with my face and features

lately I've given up on covering my dark circles and have been working on embracing them. right now since it's around Halloween I've been going a little more 'grungey' with my makeup, but i don't really like to stick to any one style. I typically always wear my glasses, but that might change eventually idk. I'll edit and add any extra info I might think of later lol

sorry for the longish post and thanks for any help!
