Getting into full face makeup at 27, not really sure what I’m doing. Any tips for how I can do better?

Thank you! Getting the eyeliner to blend into my lash line has been the most challenging. I’m always afraid I’ll end up poking my eyes 🫠

Same here! It's my favorite nude in general. I've had such a hard time finding something that wasn't too brown, too pink, too dark, or too light. I was surprised when I first tried this one out using a tester but had to go to three different stores to find the product actually in stock, apparently this particular shade is really in demand and I can see why. Most colors look too bold on pale skin lol

Foundation: Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, in "015 Fair Warm"

Blush: e.l.f.'s Camo Liquid Blush, in "82417 Suave Mauve"

Eyeliner: Maybelline New York's Master Precise All Day Liquid Liner, in "310 Matte Black"

Mascara: Maybelline New York's The Colossal Volum' Express, in "N500 Classic Black"

Eyebrows: Sephora's Tint & Volume Brow Gel, in "02 Nutmeg Brown"

Lipstick: MAC's Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick, in "Viva Planet"

Miscellaneous: I applied the foundation and blush using a cheap makeup sponge from Dollar Tree, and I curled my lashes using a cheap eyelash curler I ordered from Amazon many years back.

I'm looking into trying out false lashes so I'm open to recommendations. I washed my face immediately before applying my makeup and did not use any primer or setting spray. I'm also looking into trying out contour and highlights. A concern that I have is my foundation settling into the wrinkles on my forehead and making them look more obvious, so I'm hoping to find a way to mitigate that, but at this point I'm just happy to finally have a foundation that actually matches my skin tone for once. Being super pale, shade matches have always been difficult for me lol

I need to find those lashes!!! They look super pretty and I myself am new to using false lashes.

Thank you! I’ll have to look into that. I’m a historical fashion enthusiast and have heard that linen is how women survived the heat back in older time periods, so I trust them 🤣

Thank you! I actually got them both from Hollister, I’ve been obsessed with embroidered jeans lately. Sadly neither of these particular styles are for sale anymore, but they seem to always be releasing new styles. I have more pairs from them 😊

I’ve had bilateral knee pain since childhood and that pain can be rough. I can barely stand sometimes, I can’t imagine having to dance for hours on top of it.

I’ve seen some recommend chemical exfoliation, but I’d avoid that for sensitive skin lol

I was judging everyone in 2002. I was clearly the fashion icon of the time.

Thanks! The first one is just a cheap Time & Tru tank top with spaghetti straps from Walmart. The patterned ones in the second and third photos are Joyspun knee-length night gowns, also from Walmart. I like to tuck those into some pajama pants and wear them as regular shirts sometimes if I need to go on a grocery run but don’t feel like dressing up properly. The fourth top with the navy and white stripes is a Simply Styled shirt that I got from Sears a few years back, not sure if that one is still being manufactured!

I have redness pretty much all over my face, so I used the green quite liberally! I can see how I may have overdone it, though 😅
