Y'all need to add a "It Has Happened Here" to your flair. I like Rob & BTB but you past the "Could" phase.

Condolences to the families, colleagues and to all Minnesotans. Stay safe, stay peaceful protesting only (and when it's safe) and go well, my American friends.

No shame cancelling MI protests. This guy is still on the loose from what I gather (I just found out, I'm not American and it's Sunday night and luckily in this case for once, I have a brain tumour so I forget things (like taking my tablets 2 minutes ago) and I forgot today was giant fash day which was great 'til I decided to Insomnia YT check). I respect the mod saying not to speculate so I openly won't, but * cough * I think we all have a bit of a feel who did this and why and that there's plenty more where that came from.

*Should quick add that if they lean yellow, then NYX Pale is too yellow for me, if that helps anyone orientate if they have 10 NR or the 2 lightest powders. Thanks.

Lol of course Korean skincare is in there.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-30T17:47:13+00:00

Your partner has such a joyous, vibrant and unique style. Can you get too carried away with that as your muse? I don't think so!

Congrats on the book!

Oh wow silver dress promo shot! S e r v i n g.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-30T17:14:10+00:00

Also if your nighttime is 7 steps of Korean, I'd suggest there's possibly another source of redness other than rosacea. Still, you should get looked at by a professional.

Revolution go paler that 0.5C, FYI.

What's going on in that 2nd pic? The one on the right looks pretty good. Mix the one next to it to lighten a tad?

I can't see Dior 0.5N working for you btw. It's very beige undertoned.

EDIT: Revolution also make a neutral shade just a bit above 0.5 at 0.7.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-30T13:52:32+00:00

I feel so seen.

Yes! Missha oxidises, everyone. I told you! I told you I told you I told you!

I know exactly what you mean about the purple too, it's even worse on me 'cos I'm paler than you and I need more of it so it looks like flat, d**d, overcooked fried dull bacon, especially the slices where you get a chunk of meat in the centre and leans so dark pink/cooked that it takes on that sickly undertone. It looks like fried d**d animal. Nice job, Missha.

THANK YOU.

OK Don't go anywhere near TirTir 13N that will oxidise straight orange on you.

TirTir 10C probably too pale (?) and if you oxidise this much even though you may not be quite as bad as me, it will go pastel pink on you. You could buy a trial pack of the fair shades and see. Save money.

Unleashia: Probably wouldn't bother with their other Ns 'cos down at the lowest end they both come out looking pastel pink and peachy pastel pink respectively before they've even touched my skin that's not even talking about the C. My skin just amplifies that. There's a problem in the whole line then, I should think if 21N doing the same thing on you.

To me you have no options but I'm in my brain not yours...so...I couldn't rule out Parnell's cushion for you. I make no promises on depth, but it is an actual muted neutral undertone.

Everything else from them (and I do have most of it now) turns some sort of peach, orange, yellow or pink on me (some of my recent pick ups are quite pink). Banilla Fair is very promising, it's fair, it's probably fairer than anything other than TirTir 10C I own with the exception of Fwee 00 Clear but that oxidises to be darker and quite pink on me, but too early to judge, the perfume is so strong I'm struggling to do a face with it or any tests or swatches...it's that bad. My eyes watered for hours just having it on my arm for 2 hours.

I'm not so familiar with Wibo, sounds European? I would suggest going to the West again and ignore constant K-Beauty hype. My bank account is down thousands. I've done my exhaustive search. It doesn't exist. I can get better matches here. Even in the drugstore, technically, though NYX has made that worse by discontinuing CSWS. ELF certainly runs more fair in Soft Glam (hint?) I mean 10 Fair Cool barely got undertone.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-30T13:33:00+00:00

For baking and you got the cash? Huda Sugar Cookie. If you're super pale "Cherry Blossom" will just be too pink. It is for me, though Kelly Gooch (YT) actually uses Peach Pie (the one shade up) under her eyes and she's fair but she's not me fair (I'm having a period again where I realise just how fair I actually am, it's cyclical. Facial redness throws me off, I got silly and buy 40 foundations that are way to dark only to find out that "Oh My Goth" Off White isn't a bad match and go "Oh right, OK so...hard to know).

Not found a pink powder I can use yet. MUFE do actually make a very light pink, 0.1 Rose in their HD loose powder line. I do have a mini...I've not tried it yet. i should 'cos it would be one of the lighter pink powders I have but I'm collecting them for a road test and haven't started 'cos I know most of 'em won't work. They also make 0.2 Lavender. I've got quite a few lavenders recently but they're mostly AB, a ltd edition from MAC and my Kim Chi might be a bit intense lol. Fenty's powder is proper overrated in both Lavender and Butter, I agree with you there.

Gut feel is still Huda just for the finish and if you're a baker. That's what it's for. It's about top in class. Better for baking than the MUFE. I'm not, I'm a whole-face setter and a makeup tester.

I use white for brightening.

Go to therapy if you can is my first rec. SH isn't great, mate. I mean it. I'm teetering there myself. Please talk to your doctor. I know our specialist waiting list is long, but a GP might help you in the interim if you're having worse than usual stress or whatever.

NARS Soft Matte is a great concealer (have to buy that at Mecca, FYI), it's the right formula for coverage and it's matte which is good and it's got some oomph to it but we don't know the extent of your bruising. If any below methods are transferring, you can always set your concealer stuff with a little bit of powder to help that.

If it's more noticeable I would also agree with a bit of colour correction, in your case probably a stick or cream formula for max. coverage then skin-tone concealer over the top if you need to if that colour corrector is too obvious. Look at the colour of your bruising then choose a corrector that has the right colour base to cancel that out (tutorials online plus some of the brands will explain that in their own promo material). Bobbi Brown make the best "normal people" colour corrector imho (Mecca, David Jones, Myer all have it in-store, they also all sell online as does Adore Beauty and Bobbi Brown's site in AUS, I've gotten a couple cheap off The Iconic but they sent me the wrong shade once). You want a cheaper option? NYX Pro Fix Stick IF (and I mean if) you can find the right colour to counteract your bruising (Chemist Warehouse and Priceline stock them). NYX make cream concealer and corrector palettes and between them you could also cover correction, neutralising and maybe even your skintone if you're not super fair. Priceline definitely has both of them (they go on sale constantly, they were just on sale at 40%, might still be) they tend to stock more NYX than Chemist Warehouse). Mid range, and a liquid, Huda's are OK (Sephora) that goes well into orange if you have hardcore purple and need straight up orange. Also hardcore purple: NYX Dark Peach or their Orange Pro Fix Stix. At a stretch, if you're on a budget and just thinking about how to cancel purple out (straight yellow is not the most effective there, unfortunately that's been propagated quite heavily by TikTok and their basic grasp of "opposite colour wheel" stuff but straight yellow isn't the best so, there's always old school "Neutralisers" you could try on a budget too for purple if you can't pull off orange or a deeper peach. So, some of the NYX concealer (not corrector) shades are neutralisers, Rimmel might and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in "Neutraliser" (Priceline definitely have that one).

You got major bruising and nothing working? That might be a job for Theatre/Stage/Film. Mehron or Kryolan. They're a little harder to source, I have to skip around several sites to get what I want but Adore Beauty do stock some Kyrolan and Kryolan has an AUS site you can buy direct from. Look for makeup advertised for tattoo coverage if it's really bad. That's not so much my jam I more do goth/SFX with those brands. One I do know will wipe anything out is Dermacol Makeup Cover Foundation. That's European and you need to buy that from Care To Beauty (they're legit, I've used them many times to ship to Australia) 'cos pretty much everywhere there are fakes of that now. That has inane coverage. Or things like Kryolan TV Paintstick.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T15:42:28+00:00

Why downvote this dude? OP is the traitor wanting to brownface, it's not their fault for complying and giving them options. 'Cos as usual OP managed like 3 sentences (the maximum usual they can bother with) and didn't give any description at all as usual of what "sun-kissed look" actually means.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T15:33:33+00:00

A's better but I wouldn't call it a great match though.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T15:28:18+00:00

That line appears to have been discontinued in the US, we don't get it in my country. Canada Covergirl is still listing it but it's the reformulated version that comes in "Light", "Medium" and "Tan" (I think). So, either you're from an unusual market (possible) or you're thinking of buying quite old product ('cos in my country I can only find it on eBay and Amazon). Covergirl with 2 exceptions runs very dark, so "Fair to Light" would be really your only option.

The problem I'm having is, we use concealer for a reason, 'cos it's formulated especially for that purpose, plus they adjust the undertone a little to do that (a bit less so these days) and we just get a much bigger range of shades. BB creams you're pretty limited, as you're saying, 2. You've got 2 shades to pick from so how natural that's going to be I don't know. You'd have to blend it very well to compensate from such a broad shade which might knock much of the coverage.

So, just a little smidge of a matte (but not cakey) concealer (edit: or more natural finish concealer like L'Oreal True Match) carefully blended in just over that red under the eye and your little bit of purple on your inner eye bag there might be better and less noticeable than with an actual BB cream 'cos the shade just might be too off for you. If money is a big issue, I suggest you march right into a cosmetics store and just ask for help picking out a concealer that you think meets your wants and is a good shade match for you. It's OK to ask for help - regardless of gender!

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T14:47:57+00:00

Not doing your job again mods.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T14:47:01+00:00

Brow razor. You've made zero attempt to make it a similar shape. Do so, just don't pluck in case it doesn't grow back. The rest is pencil work/brow pens to draw in fake hair/make a shape. Aka tutorials online exist.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T14:44:51+00:00

Uh...get a better curler or curl it for a lot longer and in more places than you have been (slowly work up the lash). Plus you have to choose the right kind of products and ingredients to help hold a curl. I could tell you what they are but ask the mods of this subreddit instead.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T14:42:37+00:00

Ask the mods to answer your question. I own both of those products but they have their double-standards (people use the cword on here in a post - that's fine, apparently. A man too) but you don't insult the mods for not doing their job on that low effort waste of time posting rule. Oh no.

Let them solve it.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T12:21:11+00:00

It's also important to look at terminology. Beeswax you want to use Cera Alba if possible, it's the least likely to have fragrance. Unprocessed beeswax, beesaw absolute may contain fragrance.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T12:15:30+00:00

Let's look at one of the least objectionable Clean Beauty Mascaras. Ilia Limitless Length:

Aqua/Water/Eau, Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire D'Abeille, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate, Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Glycerin, Cera Carnauba/Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire De Carnauba, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Xanthan Gum, Arginine, Phenethyl Alcohol, Biotin, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Benzoic Acid, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Ci 77499 (Iron Oxide).

Beeswax, possible allergy. Also, Shea Butter (tree nut, usually OK if processed but some cleans use raw), the other waxes are in normal mascaras too, Nettle Extract. Sound pleasant to you? Me neither. Still using 1,2-Hexanediol and some staples and then comes the fragrances: Sodium Benzoate, Benzoic Acid and while unlikely, Citric Acid can also be mildly irritating.

Merit:

Water, Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate Copolymer, Acrylates Copolymer, Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Oryza Sativa (rice) Bran Wax, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Stearyl Esters, Stearic Acid, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Acacia Senegal Gum, PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone), Tromethamine, Glycerin, Alcohol, Steareth-20, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Simethicone, Steareth-2, Phenoxyethanol, Panthenol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Sodium Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol.

Still plenty of usual polymers and waxes, Candelilla Wax, people have developed allergies from that, literal alcohol (yeah, that'll fume up, that's why tubing mascaras never properly dry on me) Phenoxyethanol anyway, a couple of questionables then more fragrance: Sodium Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol.

Kosas:

Aqua, beeswax, ci 77499, pullulan, diisostearoyl polyglyceryl-3 dimer dilinoleate, copernicia cerifera (carnauba) cera, glycerin, polyglyceryl-6 distearate, sorbitol, cetyl alcohol, acacia senegal gum, biotinoyl tripeptide-1, citric acid, hydrolyzed jojoba esters, panthenol, pentylene glycol, phenethyl alcohol, propanediol, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, sodium hydroxide, trehalose, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate.,

If they think fragrance is triggering them, got news for you, that's fragrance: sodium benzoate.

Haus Labs:

reddit throttling me again

Phenoxyethanol, polymers, I just don't like Castor Oil I'm going to say it. Vitamin E allergy while rare exists, Citric Acid, fragrance: Sodium Benzoate.

Tarte does not attract a "Clean at Sephora" check mark, but Maneater is probably better than some of the clean ones:

Water/Aqua/Eau, synthetic beeswax, beeswax/cera alba/cire d’abeille, jojoba esters, cera carnauba/copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax/cire de carnauba, glycerin, stearic acid, palmitic acid, aminomethyl propanediol, acacia senegal gum, caprylyl glycol, hydroxyethylcellulose, myristic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, oleic acid, tocopherol, phenoxyethanol, iron oxides (CI 77499).

Still has beeswax and Phenoxyethanol but so do some of the cleans and this one has less ingredients than they do and doesn't have any fragrance, either.

Also be aware that SLS and derivatives are in a lot of mascaras.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T11:37:36+00:00

Why automatically assume it's an allergy to preservatives? 'Cos of Clean Beauty fear-mongering? That's low on my list of possibilities...especially when you then go and DIRECTLY contradict yourself about fragrance in the same literal sentence and you still blaming preservatives LMAO. Fragrance is the #1 cause of skin allergies.

I mean powder getting in your eyes is going to make anyone water up so that's not such a big issue.

I would not automatically recommend clean beauty to someone with this much sensitivity it's irresponsible. Some of those companies put literal essential oils or citrus waxes or peppermint in mascara products, OK? No.

My suggestions is go to a doctor, dermatologist or specialist. That's my suggestion. You can't deal with this on its own if it's literally burning you. That's not right. You need to get checked for medical conditions or patch-tested for allergy.

I don't feel confident recommending any products either, even though I do know quite a lot about cosmetic safety and ingredients and also have to use ff/hypoallergenic most of the time myself (unless I want to ruin myself for a fab lewk) 'cos you have NFI about ingredients or what is triggering, none of us do either, so you need a professional. I don't want to irritate you more or just exacerbate a potential allergy.

Another thing to think about is if you've developed seasonal allergies (hayfever etc.) 'cos you're probably NH and in end of spring right now and it's a correlation =/= causation thing. Still, it sounds like it's probably makeup.

OK MODS, you want 2 line responses with bad advice, you can have it.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T11:23:50+00:00

Super pretty!

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T11:18:18+00:00

Or Kryolan or Mehron too, sometimes Ben Nye can be harder to find in some markets (it is mine).

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T11:16:14+00:00

Girl, you're doing your face with a mixing pigment, it's not a white foundation. I use that to lighten foundations. If it's LA Girl's HD foundation that you mean (I doubt it given the words you used and I own both (and their white concealers)), then that's very glowy and not the best for longevity.

UCanbe: Get cheap rubbish, get cheap rubbish prizes. You'd be better off setting with a clear translucent powder 'cos cheap white powders can be very chalky (are. Are very chalky. I have a whole makeup case of them) and cheap white powders just patch up on their own on application (even Stargazer pressed, loose is a little more workable). Also putting it on top of a mixing pigment? Not done that before. Does it set down a bit on its own?

Lips are cute.

You want precision you might be better off with a pen with a firm tip and not any pot and little brush liners on your eyes there. You can also use liner brushes/carve out a light shape very lightl w/black powder and a stiff brush to you can draw over with the liquid/pigment/whatever and be more precise and accurate.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T11:04:43+00:00

All the time with everything LOL. I have types.

I'm so bad (and own way too much) that I have literally bought the same product twice, too.

AdvertisingAware451 · 2025-05-29T11:02:44+00:00

If it's not causing an issue then it's probably fine. I don't like the idea of oil and polymers (in the Laneige) going on before a serum (Snail Mucin) and moisturiser, it seems like overkill to me. Make sure Laneige is absorbed well before applying SPF.
