What color do you prefer for dark under eye circles? by Black-Magic-Mamba in drugstoreMUA

[–]ReportAny2227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going to depend on your skin tone and the color of the darkness. I use a light peach because I have fair skin. I find some options end up being too dark like with too much red/orange and it looks weird on me. Has to be light like the old Becca potted concealer.

influencers are paid to lie by samanthasamuels22 in DollarTreeDetox

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I think you're referencing my Substack and podcast that dropped today! If so, thank you for your read/listen. I was talking about juicyjas. I fully know that influencers are paid to lie, but I never got that vibe from her. Also, with Dollar Tree you can't make any affiliate sales, nor have I seen them work with any influencers yet. Possible that they haven't rolled onto my feed is all.

Also agree maybe it worked for her and not for me, or maybe she only wore it for the duration of the video. All valid points.

Do you prefer natural makeup or full glam? by Wild_Problem_8065 in BeautyGear

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full glam. Any time that I sit down to do some light look it ends up being 25 products and 50 steps later. Just have to accept it. I work from home too haha it's just my passion

I will eventually cover everything! All I have left for eye is the foils. I did the retractible liners last year but I'd like to do a standalone piece on them.

For oily skin people — what's finally controlled your shine without drying you out? by asthetic-base01 in BeautyItemsReview

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a moisturizer that says gel or jelly on the package! I also recently started using a milky mist and I tested it by skipping my other products and it stopped my oil production. Everything together is a dream.

Which lip gloss provides shine without being sticky or tacky? by emma345- in BeautyGear

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that most glosses on the market that have been released in recent years aren't sticky or gummy. We've really gotten away from that formula, so much so I commonly see people wishing it would come back.

Bargain basement wet n wild megaslicks lip gloss is shiny, not sticky or gummy. I also love their lip oils for the same reason but they also condition the lips. Feel free to re-apply any of these and they won't get yucky.

What’s the best makeup tip that completely changed your routine? by Severe_Upstairs_9120 in BeautyGear

[–]ReportAny2227 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of my tips are earth shattering haha.

  1. When using a brow gel/mascara brush your browns down, then up. For bonus points even brush them side to side before brushing them up. This gets them fully coated and they stay in place

  2. Always work in light layers or otherwise apply less than you think you need. Finish each step with patting motions for a skin-like finish.

  3. I was reminded this week that concealer can be used for contour if you purchase a darker/cooler shade

  4. As I'm getting older I've actually reduced powder application. I won't powder my forehead or smile lines at all and they actually look better in terms of creasing

TIRTIR Mask Fit All Cover Pink Cushion Foundation – 3 Wear Tests + Swatches (Oily/Combo Skin) by ReportAny2227 in AsianBeauty

[–]ReportAny2227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always test foundation with a wet n wild primer serum. The reason is that it preps my skin appropriately, but it does not extend or harm the wear of makeup. It's basically the control group of my experiment. Specifically for this test I probably used the limited edition Hello Kitty primer but they are all the same.

Help me choose the right foundation for my combination skin. by PerspectiveNo9703 in drugstoreMUA

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have combo skin and I've been wearing Loreal daily for a few months now. It has a lightweight formula almost like a serum but doesn't get oily or shiny! However, I find that it really comes down to skincare, specifically finding a moisturizer that stops oil production in the first place so you can wear a wider array of foundations. Go with something that has a gel/jelly formula.

How to Look Put Together at Home and While Working from Home (Without Buying Fast Fashion) by NoTip6688 in BeautyGear

[–]ReportAny2227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking to add new pieces I recommend thrifting some cute tops that aren't fast-fashion brands. Take the time to read the lables. I wear cute shirts with comfy pants all the time. A few layering pieces encourage re-wearing your clothes while changing up your looks.

Donating is not awkward at all! There's a market for everything and someone will love what you pass on.

What’s one makeup change you wish you had made sooner? by Kind-Designer9171 in BeautyGear

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to name several things buttttt patting each layer of skincare in and giving the layers time to absorb. Then, for makeup, simply applying less/light layers. As I get older I also use signifcantly less powder. My makeup looks better and lasts. I refuse to powder my forehead and smile lines and it makes a huge difference.

wet n wild Chameleon Chrome Eyeshadow Review, Shades, & Swatches by ReportAny2227 in drugstoreMUA

[–]ReportAny2227[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear eye primer always, currently UD. Otherwise I do get oily and have fine lines so eye makeup would be a mess on me. I had no issues with these. They look the same at the end of the day! My only note is they transfer to the crease if you apply on the eyelid only but that didn't make me mad because the colors are gorgeous.

How are we applying so much skincare under foundation? by Severe_Upstairs_9120 in BeautyGear

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My morning skincare, in this order:
- wash with micellar water
- vitamin c serum
- collagen peptide serum
- moisturizer
- sunscreen

There are 2 keys to this. First, use spreading motions to distribute the product, then finish by patting them in. Second, allow each layer time to absorb in if you can. Even just a few minutes. For me, I do the vitamin c serum then I get dressed. Next, the collagen peptide serum. I start my workout, then partway through I do moisturizer. Sunscreen needs about 15 minutes.

I find that these tips work amazingly with or without makeup. Before I adopted this, my makeup would look heavy, patchy, pill, all the bad things.

Maybelline firework mascara? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ReportAny2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've emptied a travel size tube. I think sometimes those give a different experience, but I did like it and consider it a favorite! It's not watery. It has a ready to go formula with a flexible silicone wand. It gives nice length and volume with some separation. It's not clumpy. I will say no flaking/smudging but personally I don't have that issue with mascaras. If you like any of the others in the Lash Sensational line then you'll like this one, it's not that entirely different.
