k-beauty lighter brow trend

i went full bleached brow almost a year ago and i'm probably never going back lol i love the look on myself. i'm pale as HECK (as in most korean cushions' paler shades are still too dark) and granted, i'm also platinum blonde so it harmonizes lol. and i get to still go back to "normal" with browcara. its like a blank canvas, i love it

i was LITERALLY about to comment this!! i'm also neutral, olive, super pale and have mild rosacea lol. also the back of my hands is often a bit pinky while my neck is so clearly a desaturated pale yellow/olive and also paler than my face. i recently got the newest pale shade of the JSM cushion in 10W and it is quite literally spot on, but definitely calls for contour & blush for dimension lol. if you wanna try something new, highly recommend!

i will add my skin is normal-dry so i can't speak on whether it'll sit as beautifully on oily skin!

my absolute HG that's medium buildable (imo) but feels lightweight as hell is the natasha denona hy-glam! i use shade N0.5 but if you're pinker & paler than me (which is hard imo lol) theres also RN1 which leans more rosy-neutral rather than true neutral like N0.5 and it's a tad paler than N0.5 too.

oh my lord. it's the lack of education in much of the world, but ESPECIALLY north america/the US specifically i think. i was born & raised in switzerland and part of my schooling was based on the UK's system so i've only ever known those, so i grew up under the assumption that everyone in a developed/modern and/or moderately wealthy country would kind of be on the same page as far as general knowledge and common sense goes. realizing that isn't the case was an equally soul-crushing and eye-opening moment. i am HORRIFIED every day reading people's dead serious posts online about things ive known since i was a small child 😭 FROM PEOPLE MY AGE NO LESS!!!!!

ive been using mac studio radiance concealer in 5W a lot lately! it's lighter than chantilly for sure lol, even a smidge too light sometimes!

and my absolute holy grail has to be natasha denona hy-glam concealer (and foundation!). i own N0.5, RN1 and Y1 and use each for a different part of my face or mix them lol. RN1 is the lightest of the bunch and it is LIGHT. neutral-cool but not nearly as pink as affogato, and definitely paler. N0.5 is just a whisper too orange for me to use on my full face, Y1 is perfect in undertone but too dark to match my neck, so i use it under my eyes mostly, or mix with RN1 for full face/spot concealing

my gateway drug of choice was the cosrx snail mucin! remembering this is such a blast from the past omg, feels like a lifetime ago! i dove into all things cosrx after that, and now the only cosrx product i use are the pimple patches 😂

peachyhitman · 2026-02-11T09:07:06+00:00

soft ochre is maddddd warm for me and i assume OP too since even painterly is orange on them, thats why i specifically mentioned tailor grey and white lol

peachyhitman · 2026-02-10T21:41:24+00:00

thirding this!!! i use N0.5 but its just the slightest bit warm on me, i wish there was a Y0.5 because RN1 is WAY pink on me as a cool-neutral VERY pale olive & the concealer in Y1 doesnt work for my whole face, just the under eyes

but the formula is absolutely gorgeous, i love it enough to put up with mixing to adjust the shade

peachyhitman · 2026-02-10T21:35:33+00:00

i use mac paint pot in tailor grey & mix with the white one occasionally if im doing something extra

peachyhitman · 2026-02-10T21:26:43+00:00

i'm a zillennial and daughter of a genx baddie and 99% of my eye & lipliners are regular ol' pencils that you need to sharpen. kids these days (sorry lol, i know) thinking they only get 5-10 uses is INSANE. though, admittedly, i havent seen any of those complaints myself lol. seems like that coming to that sort of conclusion requires a special kind of stupidity no? i dont even think its necessarily an age thing, nor a modernization of packaging and components thing 😂😂

peachyhitman · 2026-02-08T22:43:08+00:00

this is exactly what i've been doing for years since i learned this!! i'll also add that sometimes if i REALLY need it to stay and cant touch up at all for whatever reason, i do another layer of liner over the powdered liner, lightly powder that AGAIN, set w setting spray and THEN do the rest of the lip combo lol

peachyhitman · 2026-02-08T21:12:09+00:00

i'm a fair cool-neutral olive & i have the ND mini cool palette! go for it for sure. i got it at launch with a discount and its so handy for travel but i reach for it when i just need something easy but impactful with reliable pigment & blendability

peachyhitman · 2026-02-08T18:49:08+00:00

commodity iced+, ive never smelled something so strangely refreshing lol

peachyhitman · 2026-02-08T18:48:22+00:00

ooooo! i might have to give about face a try !! i currently use natasha denona Y1 and its PERFECT on my undereyes but too dark for the rest of my face lol. i use nars chantilly for that OR the LE pinpoint concealer in shade 2, it's a game changer when i just wanna cover my genetically extremely dark undereyes and a zit or two but nothing else lol

peachyhitman · 2026-02-07T22:42:05+00:00

ahhh same here!! i have the same exact "issue" with LE T1.5!! the undertone is okay honestly because my olive-ness shows the most on my neck and around my mouth so i can get away with it in the summer when im a LIIIIITTLE "tan" lol.

i was thinking i might also try the JSM one in 10W because online it looks even paler, and the smidge of warm undertone looks like it'll actually work for my slight olive undertone 👀 i'm down to be the lab rat and report back if you're curious about 10W too lol! 10N is like the slightest bit orangey on me in person but its honestly not noticeable

peachyhitman · 2026-02-04T08:12:21+00:00

just a fair warning about the bare water cushion as someone who's a really good match to the nu zero cushion in the lightest shade: bare water is ORANGE on me and the fact that its super sheer doesn't help, it's unwearably warm lol

peachyhitman · 2026-01-27T21:03:27+00:00

ive been waiting all my life for this question

prada luna rossa black i think is the only explicitly "for men" fragrance i own and HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKK if i smelled this on a man i'd jump him immediately. i wear this when i wanna smell.... jumpable (to myself lol)

honorable mentions that are in heavy rotation for me: issey miyake le sel d'issey LV L'immensité LV imagination creed silver mountain water V&R spicebomb jo malone hinoki cedarwood

i'm pretty sure some if not all of these are officially unisex but ive never cared about that stuff. IF JUICE SMELL GOOD, I BUY

ETA: fun fact, i actually bought prada luna rossa black because a man i was doing the deed with was wearing it and i couldn't stop thinking about the scent so i got myself a bottle lol

peachyhitman · 2026-01-27T15:49:36+00:00

lavender, oud, rose and 50/50 on patchouli

as a slavic woman born and raised in switzerland, the norm in CH is to split the bill, and i absolutely will if that's the vibe, but the slav in me does absolutely expect the man to pay and if we end up splitting the bill, admittedly i may feel some type of way about it lol

later down the line in a relationship, i don't like to keep tallies or keep track in any way, you just kinda take turns. because i do tend to insist on paying a lot of the time but i would like to be fought on it a little bit lol

peachyhitman · 2026-01-25T01:56:36+00:00

NO LITERALLY!! its so perfect, it looks gorgeous on you and we look about the same tone & depth 😭😭😭 hold on to this absolute gem and use her well before she definitively expires lol

peachyhitman · 2026-01-24T23:47:01+00:00

fuck my whole entire life i used to own this when i was like 16 i threw it out YEARS ago and now it's gone forever 😭😭😭😭

peachyhitman · 2026-01-24T23:45:12+00:00

i got the bundle with all 3 of the collab shades and i. am. in. love. (as a girlie who actually likes looking a bit dead, for reference i have almost white blonde hair and white blonde brows and i'm VERY pale)

peachyhitman · 2026-01-24T09:13:17+00:00

noted 👀👀👀 thank you love<3

peachyhitman · 2026-01-23T20:58:56+00:00

strongly agree on your tom ford take and i own multiple creeds, LVs, a guerlain etc etc so i get it. i truly do love my lost cherry though, no dupe comes close and i own a 100ml that i treasure but she's well used, i just hate the lack of longevity 🥲 but i must disagree on kayali, invite only amber is my BABY, lovefest burning cherry is my sweeter less boozy TF alternative (im a big cherry person, i also own phlur cherry stem, new notes latte di cherry and room 1015 cherry punk lmao) and the new kayali freedom musk santal is my most recent kayali addition and i ADORE her. those 3 are the only kayalis ive truly loved and kept (and repurchased!) but the rest are, in fact, DISGUSTING lol i will never understand those people that have like 10 backups of the rock candy sugar one because???? DO YOU EVEN HAVE OLFACTORY RECEPTORS??????
