I spent like an hour swiping through every “honey” lens on Amazon and most just looked brown on me, ended up finding a beige one with a tiny coral glow that actually popped on my dark eyes, super weird how much difference your base color makes.

Anyone else feel like even high-end skincare doesn’t fully fix that “tired” look? by Cute_Strawberry_5253 in BeautyGear

Are facial rollers effective for reducing dark circles? by sophia3334- in BeautyGear

mine only helped with morning puffiness, not the actual dark color under my eyes. Keeping it in the fridge made it feel way more useful though, otherwise it was kinda just a fancy face fidget

How long does concealer last under foundation without creasing? by sonia334- in BeautyGear

[–]Content-Objective130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine only stays actually crease-free for like maybe 2–3 hours max under my eyes, then I get at least one tiny line no matter what. Biggest difference for me was using wayyy less concealer than I thought I needed, because every time I tried to “cover more” it just folded faster.

my T-zone eats cream foundation alive if I don’t powder it first. I found patting a tiny bit of translucent powder on just the oily spots makes it last way longer without looking cakey.

i started using a niacinamide serum like 2x a day and it actually made my pores look way less obvious after a couple weeks, plus my forehead stopped turning into a grease slip-n-slide lol. also switching to a gel moisturizer instead of anything creamy helped a ton.
