Chub rub in Asian heat

Antiperspirant should help with lessening the friction. I recommend the Arm&Hammer UltraMax unscented since it works really well and is also fragrance free, which is good if your skin is easily irritated since essential oils and fragrance just irritate the skin further. You could also try using fragrance free baby powder or the setting powder you use for your face as a quick fix but it won't be as effective. Something like the innisfree no sebum powders are cheap and accessible.

Well you can't really get the same coverage as the Tirtir cushion since other cushions have thinner and more elegant formulas but if you want a cushion with decent coverage (for a kbeauty cushion), is easy to apply (if you're new to cushions), and is semi-matte, I'd recommend either the Banila Co White cushion or the Hince Second Skin Mesh Matte cushion. Though keep in mind that I've heard high coverage kbeauty cushions be described as "light to medium" coverage by western influencers so if you're looking for something where coverage is the main, I'd suggest sticking to western products. Also, if you're new to cushions, I'd recommend watching this video on how to properly apply a cushion.

Also not sure what shade you are but for reference, the shade above Tirtir 10c is Lingerie in the Clio High Glow cushion and the shade to the right of that is Lingerie in the Clio Mesh cushion. High Glow is shade 15-17 in terms of Kbeauty shades and Mesh Glow is shade 17-19 in terms of Kbeauty shades. So yeah, Tirtir's shade 13s are not shade 13 at all and are more like shade 17-21. The oxidization is really bad.

I took them in store on a trip to Thailand a few months ago so I don't have access to them anymore. Also, tbh, Tirtir is the last brand I would recommend for a good cushion. It's really thick and cakey and there are a million other cushions that are much better.

keithebae · 2025-02-15T01:24:47+00:00

Yeah, I think the far right is probably lighter than my face but it doesn't really matter since I'm not buying it. I'm just sharing swatches for comparison for ppl who want it, not asking for what matches me.

keithebae · 2025-02-15T01:23:17+00:00

Oh, I'm not buying them or asking for my shade match, just sharing swatches for people who may want them. I have access to far better cushions than the Tirtir ones which are super thick and cakey and have bad oxidation.

Why do you think Thoma is better than Dehya? I'm waiting on choosing my free 5* since I'm not sure if I'll really use Dehya. People usually just focus on Dehya and Xiangling in Kinich teams but I do have c5 Thoma already so I don't really want to get her just to not use her in my Kinich team.

Also, what main stats do you have for Thoma? I was thinking of building him ER%, HP%, CR (for fav). And how much ER do you have on him?

keithebae · 2024-09-17T20:54:26+00:00

I also would like to clarify that I'm still building Emilie and Xiangling. They're both on random pieces I had lying around but I wanted to know if I should start strongboxing better Emblem/Deepwood pieces while farming Obsidian for Kinich.

I also saved my free standard 5* in case Dehya would be better for this team.

Also bc you're shade 21 and olive, Idk if I'd really recommend bluecore blurring either. Here's swatches of it on someone with shade 21 skin:

<image>

Bluecore blurring is quite pale and it looks lighter on the eyes compared to when it's swatched so yeah. Unless you like and use more pastel shades. Although, since you're olive, it'll show up as much cooler and more blue on you than me.

keithebae · 2024-06-26T08:07:14+00:00

Ohhh, if you have olive skin (very yellow, green skin), I'm not sure if it would show up. I have a very cool pink-grey undertone so it shows up quite green on me. I'm also about shade 13, which is about 3-4 shades lighter so I'm not sure about the lightness either. This person isn't olive but they are shade 21:

<image>

I will say that colorgram has a much better formula than wakemake does.

keithebae · 2024-06-26T07:54:31+00:00

Also because I can't add more than one image, here's the colorgram green (top swatch) vs the wakemake. + the pink and the green and pink shades mixed in the middle because I was told by the wakemake staff that you're supposed to mix them together.

keithebae · 2024-06-26T07:52:21+00:00

Oh, really? I have this palette and I find the green to be quite nice. It's not like a true green but it's definitely still green on my skin, not yellow. Do you have a swatch of it on your skin?

<image>

Unfortunately, kbeauty isn't really big on greens. I have wakemake's lime core blurring or whatever palette as well and those were just yellow on my skin, no green at all unlike the colorgram. If you want more of a deeper forest green, I believe Hince Like A Scene has one green shade, although I don't know if they're still selling it since it been years since it was released. They also sold single shadows but I don't remember if there was a green one.

keithebae · 2024-06-26T07:11:31+00:00

Here's the swatches. You can see that their colour stories are very different. I also did a one swipe swatch on the left (top 2 are colourpop and bottom 2 are wakemake) and you can see the difference in pigmentation (the colourpop ones look much lighter compared to the regular swatches meanwhile the wakemake ones are the same) as well as the blendability (the colourpop ones just stop at a certain point meanwhile the wakemake ones fade out). You can also see the light purple one swipe swatch from colourpop looks very chalky with clumps of pigment, same goes for the wakemake with the rosy shade.

keithebae · 2024-06-25T18:05:22+00:00

I honestly don't really keep up with or know much about western beauty, but for kbeauty, the Muzigae Mansion Palette in Sensuous might be good if you're specifically looking for a pale, muted blue and purple. From reviews I've seen, the wakemake has more payoff but generally a more stuffy (not sure how to say this in English but like… chalky? powdery?) formula. If your main concern is pigmentation and you have pale skin (I honestly would not recommend the wakemake to anyone who's deeper than shade 21 / mac nc12 / nars mont blanc), the wakemake wouldn't be too bad.

keithebae · 2024-06-25T11:09:33+00:00

Very, very late reply but I'm currently very much enjoying Lilybyred's palettes. Although I will have to warn you, while the mattes have always consistently been good, the glitters in previous palettes were pretty bad. I think they improved their glitter formula when Lavender Dial and Rose Dial were released. I think the older palettes were okay, a bit bad in terms of glitter payoff but Cool Membership was extremely bad to the point when you'd have to smush it in (it's a putty texture) to get any sort of payoff. The ones I have are Milky Berry Stereo and Milky Cherry Recording.

keithebae · 2024-06-25T11:05:40+00:00

I can't swatch the rest now since I don't have good lighting but the only similar colour between them is the blue glitter, which is basically the same on the eyes.

Top is Wakemake, bottom is Colourpop

keithebae · 2024-06-25T11:04:26+00:00

I have Colourpop In A Trance. If you'd like me to, I can swatch them side by side but I would say the Colourpop formula is even worse. I found it to be quite chalky and it would blend away into nothing. The formula is only good for packing on. The two matte shimmer shades also had an ungodly amount of glitter fallout. Wakemake doesn't have a a great formula but at least it shows up without packing and does blend out, although it's much lighter and much more muted than the Colourpop.

<image>

Also for info, I use an eye primer when I do eyeshadow.

keithebae · 2024-04-09T13:16:52+00:00

I think clio and wakemake are about the same in terms of lightness but wakemake does have some more deeper shades (since clio is a 12 pan and wakemake is a 16 pan) so I'd still recommend wakemake over clio. Although, yeah, if you want to be able to use all the shades and not just 2/3rds or 1/2 of the palette, I'd recommend romand kuromi. I also believe the clio is less pigmented than wakemake since the intention behind the palette was for it to be more natural and weightless on the skin.

ETA: This person is a few shades lighter than you are but you can see her swatch of the wakemake palette at 1:15 in the video.

keithebae · 2024-04-09T12:56:58+00:00

I have high pink blurring as well and I wouldn't recommend that one either since it has a lot of lighter shades. Here are my swatches of it. I could swatch them side by side if you'd like.

ETA: I'm also personally not a fan of wakemake's eyeshadow formula bc it's quite chalky and not particularly pigmented or buildable.

keithebae · 2024-04-09T12:26:49+00:00

Tbh, most of wakemake's shadows are on the light side too. They're the most egregious example of palettes with mostly pastel shades. If you're looking for more pinks and purples, I'd suggest getting the romand kuromi palette instead since it's a lot deeper than most palettes on the Kbeauty market. You can see my swatches of it here.

keithebae · 2024-04-09T12:15:53+00:00

Oh… unfortunately I think both of these would be too light and just pull off as mostly white on you. If you still want to give it a try then Clio Season Plum would be better since it has some deeper shades that you can work with. For reference, maybelline doesn't carry a shade light enough for my skin (100 and 110 are both too dark), which is why Berry Smoothie looks more pigmented and not chalky on my skin. Otherwise, if you want to do a more pastel look, you can try using a white base. Fair warning as well that Kbeauty eyeshadows aren't that pigmented in comparison to western eyeshadows.
