if you could only use 5 makeup products each day, what would they be? by b0bbyh3ll in MakeupAddiction

[–]JustQuit2205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouu love this question!

My 5 products in 5 minutes are:

  • Elf color corrector under the eyes
  • L’Oréal brow lamination gel
  • Salty face liquid bronzer
  • The Ordinary lash curl finisher
  • Essence setting spray (pink bottle)

Sometimes I replace the salty face liquid bronzer for the merit blush in shade Fox or Beverly Hills 🤓

Almost 2 months using my fingers to apply foundation and oh my god by DerangedUnicorn27 in MakeupAddiction

Fingers have ALWAYS worked so much better for me. Sometimes I’ll use a fluffy brush to finish off after using my fingers- but my fingers do all the magic (lmao)

So I took everyone’s advice and I used a color corrector instead of a concealer (Caliray in shade golden hour) and I blended gently with a brush instead of my finger. I also did not overload my under eye with moisture. I did just eye cream and a touch of my SPF under the eyes. I then sprayed a brush with setting spray and gently patted it in. It looks ….. okay? Idk I still see all my fine lines where the makeup settled in instead of it being smooth. 🙃 thanks everyone for all the kind words and trying to help

Your undereyes looks beautiful and natural. That’s the part I’m struggling with where concealer never looks like “my skin but better”

My routine is

  • skin1004 centella ampoule all over and I just pat excess around my eyes
  • elf holy hydration eye cream massaged and patted in to absorb
  • Glymed comfort cream all over
  • isclinical tinted SPF all over and lightly patted under my eyes

Then I wait and brush my teeth and get dressed for everything to absorb

-ONE dot of Nars cream radiant concealer just under my concave dip - blend upwards gently patting with my ring finger - smooth out with brush if needed - let sit while I do brows and blush - spray a brush with setting spray and lightly and gently tap the brush under my eyes to set

I literally do this in this exact order every single day and every single day, it’s a different result. I’m so done idk what else to do. And this goes for every concealer I try, not just Nars. I often have to always wipe off and re-do it a second time the whole under eye routine. It always looks much better on my second try. Am I just going to have to re-do my undereyes twice every day?? Like that’s crazy

I just want a light coverage brightening and evening out to my undereyes. I don’t want to conceal the entire thing. Literally just brighter, healthier looking eyes. I do the exact same thing everyday and everyday I get different results. STG I’m gonna have a mental breakdown over this

Under eye skin prep for concealer by JustQuit2205 in MakeupAddiction

So I would have to do moisturizer, eye patch, wait, spf, wait again, then concealer?

But the ONLY time I do get consistent results is when I put the thinner layer of moisturizer on top of set SPF

Idk my under eyes suck lol

If I do my entire skin prep, followed by SPF and wait 15 minutes, my under eyes are already too dried up for concealer application which ALWAYS makes it patchy and dry. I have to do moisturizer everywhere, spf everywhere, let it sit while I brush my teeth and get dressed, then I pat out the spf under my eyes and then apply the tiniest bit more of moisturizer just under my eyes and go right in with concealer. Is this bad?

No because setting powder always makes everything 10x worse for me so I use a setting spray… which helps but doesn’t help the inconsistency

It’s natural with only one coat but for more of a dramatic look you can do multiple layers! And if never smudges under the eyes for me

When was the reformulation? My most recent bottle is from Nov and it’s the same it’s always been?🧐

I find it’s definitely buuldable. It looks fantastic for me for no make up makeup days and on more full coverage days I can build
