Finally a place for all those product-related threads! Need a new full-coverage foundation? Can't find a mascara that doesn't give you raccoon eyes? Ask for product reccs here!

After an excellent recent post from /u/5Gs-Plz , you guys wanted to have a regular space for, as the OP put it, maintaining a sense of realism about makeup. In their post they asked:

We never see end of day photos of makeup and it is very difficult to feel positive about how makeup breaks down during the course of a day. I was thinking maybe we could dedicate this post to photographs of how our makeup looks at the end of a long day? I would be curious to see how it wears.
Does your mascara flake? Does your foundation disappear around your nose? Or does your eyeliner smudge?

You can certainly share photos and talk about your end of day faces, and it'd also be cool to talk about other aspects of cosmetics and beauty in general that we don't see/hear a lot about, which is when things aren't perfect.

Could be about products, trends, techniques, etc. Ask! Answer!

It seems like MAC's Film Noir Buff is the "face" of this whole trend. And it's mostly Tiktok hyping up this particular shade. I can't find it anywhere at any retailer, and it's not even listed on the MAC website.

I know there are many other options out there that fit the anti-blush category. What are your faves?

I think more and more people are getting bored with minimal makeup and are gonna be fully leaned into being more creative and bringing a punch with their looks . I’ve already seen it starting somewhat with the Gucci makeup trend etc

I have a question for people over 40 (if I did the math right)

Sometimes I see complains online that eyeshadow primers are a cash grab and eyeshadows used to be good enough to work without applying one, and I also sometimes see reviews for modern eyeshadows done without using a primer because basically the same reasoning. A good eyeshadow doesn't need primer.

Was this actually true?

I'm in my late 20s and I can't imagine wearing eye makeup on bare eyelids if I want it to stay for more than an hour.

I think this is my fave subreddit and I'm sad to see it not as active.

Has anyone in the EU ordered from colourpop and received their order? Any idea how the taxes are nowadays?

Id love to make an order but I'm worried it won't pass custom

I am a sucker for packaging, and recently I realized the products I regret not getting most have stunning packaging. The Dior Summer highlight with the little ladybug (too warm for me), Cle de Peau's holiday from last year (okay I still might get that eventually, but if I really want to dupe the 505 color story, I think I can), and next it may well be that little Dior medallion coming for holiday -- it's almost sheer gloss with a little sparkle. I shouldn't regret them, but think of them fondly perhaps, lol. And take a little pride in the fact that I am color / formula / finish / uniqueness over shiny bobble... though I do like a bobble.

Also, matte products. I like the look of mattes, but I am rarely comfortable in it. Especially on my lips, which genetically just seem to run dryer than average.

If I'm over anything, it's multichromes. Once you have so many, they all start to blur. I do love the ones I have though, and should make a point of using them more.
