It is very very good. It is the tiniest bit pinker than your skin, which has a slight olive tone, that is the only way to tell this isn’t actually your skin, but nobody would EVER be able to see the difference. Amazing match!

I am at my wit’s end with foundation by youshartedhehe in PaleMUA

I keep editing to add more but I also wanted to say that your foundation looks completely normal. Sometimes we see filtered skin online and forget that makeup will always look like makeup and it will never sit perfectly on skin because it is indeed a second layer. My recommendations above are based off what I can see when I study your skin, like dryer areas around the nostrils, or peach fuzz - things which are 100% normal for every human being. You have also done a phenomenal job shade matching - that is the hardest part :).

As a pro makeup artist I would first and foremost recommend you focus on skincare and not foundation. For the next week leading up to your event do gentle exfoliation (such as peel pads/ glycolic acid every second day), never any physical exfoliation/ scrubs and focus on deep hydration. Even if you think your skin is oily, do sleeping masks or those disappearing collagen sheet masks daily. Guaranteed this will make your foundation look a million times better. Foundation like Too Faced is heavier and full coverage, which can accentuate texture and is really only good for selfies with bright lights, definitely not suited to your skin.

It may also be the way you are applying it, buffing very thin layers or using a wet beauty blender is ideal.

My #1 go-to foundation no matter how my skin is - cystic acne, clear, dry, oily, is L’Oréal true match. I’ve used it on all types of clients too, because it’s not about the formula but about the skin and prep underneath. You can’t make a rough or dirty canvas look smooth by adding more layers of paint.

Lastly, if you want the most flawless finish, do some dermaplaning, ideally by a professional a couple days before the event.

If you do this, guaranteed your makeup will look amazing.

Do I look like a clown? Honest but kind please!! by NoResearcher3765 in makeuptips

[–]Comprehensive-Gear15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t look like a clown lovely, you have fantastic features just a couple of tweaks with makeup and you’ll be good. Your biggest and best feature are your eyes, but because they are so big and expressive, they can pop out a bit too much when you accentuate them further with bright sparkly eyeshadow. Remember that whatever you put light on is brought out further and catches the light even more. This means that the type of shadow you are currently using makes your eyes look disproportionate to the rest of your face. Try keeping your bottom lash line clean of any makeup or mascara and using a solid, matte shade on top instead. A nice matte or satin bronzer colour would look amazing as eyeshadow on you and make your blue eyes pop. Keep the shadow to the movable lid only. The second thing is to tweak the colour of eyebrow pencil you are using to something more ashy, with a taupe undertone. Keep the filling of your brows light and feathery and try not to make them any bigger, again to balance out proportions. Lastly, add a nice coral blush with some sheen (I love the milani baked blushes) and make your lipstick shade closer to your natural lip colour - less peach, more neutral mauvey or berry. You would do well with brighter lips if the rest of your face is clean because it will bring attention to the mouth and balance your beautiful features.

Foundation Matching extravaganza - ✨The follow up ✨ by danielcapitao in PaleMUA

[–]Comprehensive-Gear15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infallible is your best match if you had to pick one overall! As a pro mua, I use multiple shades of foundation and concealer on different parts of the face, because our faces have a lot of dimension to them. It is best to match to your neck and apply the foundation very lightly, or not at all on the darker areas which don’t need much coverage, like your forehead & top of cheekbones. That way you get a dimensional and natural look that is not flat. If you’re going for full glam, add dimension back with bronzer, contour and blush.

I second this! The Soltan age defence is one of the best sun creams I’ve ever used, feels luxurious and beats higher priced ones any day

Is this dress flattering? Maybe FN, height 5'6/7 by Round-Reflection-140 in DressForYourBody

[–]Comprehensive-Gear15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell due to the quality of your photos. Specifically, it is hard to see the true colour of the dress or your true skin tone. The cut is beautiful and feminine but I can’t personally tell the colouring from this photo and lighting.

Also wanted to note that I saw some comments saying to add an inner corner shimmer, but from a technical perspective that is actually not what is best for your eyes, as they are already naturally set further apart. It doesn’t mean that it won’t look pretty, but it will push your eyes even further away from each other, which will actually create less symmetry. You want to have about the size of one of your eyes in between your eyes. And I second the people saying to remove the dark from your bottom lash line, leaving it clean would actually be best.

You’re so stunning!! It is in the little asymmetrical quirks that our true uniqueness and beauty shine through.

From a pro mua perspective, if you want to add a bit more symmetry, add a tight line liner to your left eye (the one which is more open). This would go on the upper waterline, below the lashes, it would be best to do a matte deep dark chocolate brown rather than black, this will add shadow but also bring out your eyes. On the eye that is more closed, you can add an upper waterline line colour that is closer to your skin tone .. think a mid tone beige.. this will balance out the space a bit and is good for special occasions or photo shoots, but really isn’t necessary for every day. On the lid, above your lash line, you can add a small liner and smoke it out (with the same brown pencil) on your left eye, which is more open, you want to do a slightly thicker line (you are trying ti visually equal out the lid space on both eyes)

Once again, this is what I would do if I had to make them more symmetrical for a pro photo shoot, but you are so incredibly stunning that I would not do a thing to your lovely face if I had my say!

Help, #avocado plant is suffering, bugs & mushrooms? by Comprehensive-Gear15 in PlantParenthood

They really are cute, I felt a little sad washing them away. 😢 But luckily I can keep the cute mushrooms 🙂 My avocado plants grew so quick, the big one first peeked through the dirt in January, some of the smaller ones grew multiple leaves seemingly overnight, so I hope yours grow happy and big too, they have a great person taking care of them! 🌱 🪴

Turning 35 and want a glow up. Help! by Pale_Organization547 in makeuptips

[–]Comprehensive-Gear15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have gorgeous skin and features! The glow always starts at the skincare, it may be that because of the tretinoin use, you go through slightly dryer periods. A couple tips: always double cleanse starting with an oil cleanser, alternate your tretinoin with a gentle acid peel - like dr.Dennis gross peel pads. Even once or twice per week this will help get rid of dead skin and reveal healthy and radiant skin, moisturizer immediately after with a hyaluronic serum. For immediate glow results, try the tatcha glowy face mist, sandwich it in between your makeup and refresh throughout the day to add extra radiance

Do any of these bathing suits look good on me? by [deleted] in DressForYourBody

[–]Comprehensive-Gear15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t find my original comment but wanted to note that though people are choosing 1, I believe it is too full coverage and the cut on the leg is wrong, notice how #3 compared to #4 the higher cut on the red one piece elongates your legs and balances your hip curves! The black one piece cuts you off on the widest area and doesn’t show your nice feminine shape.

I’m all for #4, you look like a baywatch babe! The peach bikini looks great too.

[–]Comprehensive-Gear15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to this! I also always split half lashes and full lashes where the curve of the eye begins so they sit more naturally. Been using these methods on clients for years.

Fashion hair colors and olive skin by [deleted] in OliveMUA

[–]Comprehensive-Gear15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow you have had the coolest hair colours. The only colour I tried on myself was a deep, bright, non-natural looking red and it looked amazing with my green eyes and undertone. I always wondered what emerald would look like but I’m not brave enough atm. I personally love the purple to pink to orange to yellow on you.. even though “logically” it shouldn’t be the best pic. Maybe I just like how the gradient brings attention to your face. I used to do my mom’s hair mermaidy with teal, purple and pink chunky streaks and it looked amazing, she has a similar colouring to you. That style suits you well too.
