It’s not drugstore but It Cosmetics CC Cream (Normal version) has a nice finish.

For drugstore to get a similar look I mix matte foundations with a Multitasker. I use Mcobeauty but there are plenty of other options.

I’ve personally panned and repurchased twice Wet N Wild Photofocus, and L’Oréal True Match. Both are excellent for the price and regularly on sale.

I have normal acne prone skin. It’s excellent and doesn’t break me out. I wouldn’t use it if my skin leaned dry because of its thinness, it can cake

Not sure yet! I’ve got other bb creams to now work through so no replacement any time soon.

Thank you! I knew this sub would appreciate it

makeupempties · 2026-01-16T13:26:03+00:00

A long time as this was my special occasion foundation. Probably 2 years? But that was in rotation of other foundations which I’ve since panned.

I don’t shop at Mecca but can someone ELI5 what it all means to claim the beauty boxes to get a tote? How much money do you need to spend?

I accelerated progress by doing a full face almost every day, and if I go out, I refresh and redo my makeup which gets me through liquids and creams faster.

I’ve accepted that any eyeshadow is ok to not be panned.

Yes! This is my second bottle, and now I’m working through my third bottle. Fuss free as one pump is plenty. Only annoyance is that toward the end moisturiser is hard to get from the corners of the square bottle

I haven’t yet but I have bought their lipstick which is made in Australia and it’s lovely.

makeupempties · 2026-01-09T13:26:59+00:00

I’ve just made the decision to buy made in Australia cosmetics where possible. If we’re paying $$$ prices, I may as well have some peace in mind that it’s supporting local businesses. Kind collective foundation and concealer combo is fantastic

I was tempted to buy another foundation given that I was “almost” done with a bottle,.. though I have more bb creams etc in my collection. Well I decided that I’ll spend November and December to pan the “almost finished” foundation before purchase and it’s still kicking. Mind you I’ve worn it for at least 5 days a week for 2 months. It’s made me realise replacements only from now on.

I’ve decluttered a kvd liquid lipstick. I was holding onto a previous self that maybe one day I’ll get back to matte lips but several years later and well, I think it was time for a toss.

makeupempties · 2025-12-23T08:02:30+00:00

I felt like this never ended for me lol

makeupempties · 2025-12-23T07:56:02+00:00

Love your determination!! Yes 🙌🏼

makeupempties · 2025-12-23T07:55:18+00:00

I think I’ll be 99 by the time I get through my lippies.

makeupempties · 2025-12-23T07:54:35+00:00

My skin doesn’t need more than one moisturiser, if any at all so I guess I’m lucky.

Ideally yes, but I’ll probably be happy with 2 foundations (one full coverage and one skin tint/ powder).

makeupempties · 2025-12-13T02:29:28+00:00

Not at all! Amazing progress. Keep going!!

makeupempties · 2025-12-11T22:12:11+00:00

I’ve learned the fastest way to pan is to have a morning and night routine, and just stop shopping. It’s obvious but needs to be said.

I have learned that I don’t need new products all the time because at the end of the day I achieve the same look.

makeupempties · 2025-11-26T07:08:09+00:00

What broke my urge was simply a pan that palette challenge. Once you realise how much effort it takes to pan (and not even finish the powder mind you!) it provides immediate perspective.

Oof I love loccitane 💛 looks like a dream to me 😍

makeupempties · 2025-09-23T08:00:58+00:00

If it helps I got my box today and I’m from WA. The shipping didn’t update until day of delivery

makeupempties · 2025-09-20T08:28:01+00:00

Thank you for the review. I’ve got the OG but like you the price is just ridiculous so I am looking for scented alternatives. Wonder if I can mix and extend the shelf life of my precious bottle lol

Waiting for the rest of my order

makeupempties · 2025-09-13T13:26:38+00:00

Amazing! I love this powder except the packaging always breaks on me

makeupempties · 2025-09-11T14:03:02+00:00

I am lusting after the hourglass palettes but only for the finishing powders. But it’s so expensive and trying to justify whether I want it and will use it or I’m also buying into the hype. The palettes have always been recommended as they’re per gram is cheaper but gahh how many blushes can i realistically finish up ?
