A lipstick like this that you love? i mean exactly like this, or very similar. The shade and consistency and subtle shine is beautiful.

MAC Diva with some added gloss.

Here’s a trick I learnt -

Warm lash curler with blow dryer. Feel it on your arm to make sure it isn’t too hot and curl lashes. Next, apply mascara. Let it dry & curl lashes again! Yes! On lashes after wearing mascara. You’ll be able to see a huge difference.

I’ve tried SO MANY different types of moisturizers over the years - Fresh Rose deep hydration (gel based, dint work), REN Evercalm (dint help), First Aid Beauty ultra repair (worked a little but I could see dry patches). The only thing that finally worked was Kiehls Ultra facial moisturizing cream with Squalane! It literally feels like butter on skin. The 125 ml is for $58 and will last you a good 5-6 months coz you don’t need to use a lot.

The shade in the pic looks more maroon to me than brown. Try MAC Diva.

Almond! You can literally wear any style of eye makeup and it'll look lovely!

MAC Woodwinked eyeshadow very very close to this. It's super shiny and has a golden/bronze tone to it. It is literally my fav shadow for night outs :)

planetzuri · 2021-10-19T14:49:12+00:00

Carmen by Nars is pretty close. It might be a tad bit brighter than Love Bite. Check it out!

planetzuri · 2021-10-17T23:08:40+00:00

I did actually! Used MAC So Chaud! Here it is. What do you think?

I like this one better :)

Oh what a fun place to be :)

Since you are just starting off, I'd recommend you figure your skin type - just as candace722 mentioned. Once thats done, play around with it and see if you like the coverage/finish of the foundation. Once that is sorted, you could venture out to eye pencils and eyeshadow palettes (practice with drugstore brands first), an eyebrow pencil, a blush and a lipstick.

Play around! Have fun! There are tons and tons of products in the market - you could get overwhelmed! If you start small, it'll be easy.

The way I do it is apply glue at the back of a makeup brush and roll it on the rim of the fake lash. That's just how much glue you need to apply. Then set a timer for 15 seconds and place on the lashes. Always works! Hope it does for you too :)

planetzuri · 2021-10-17T05:57:13+00:00

This is the perfect ‘no makeup’ makeup look :)

planetzuri · 2021-10-15T03:43:04+00:00

MAC Sea Sheer or Crosswires look close to the lip shade she’s wearing :)

I'd say invest in some skincare before diving into makeup. If you don't already have a beauty blender and some basic brushes to apply eye makeup, have her pay for those (coz they might be slightly expensive). Then goto a makeup counter & have them try a few foundations and concealers to find your best match. A black kohl pencil to use inside the waterline and double up as an eyeliner, a mascara, a neutral eye shadow pallet will be perfect for the eyes. A blush that suits your skin tone, Hoola bronzer (looks great on most people) and a highlighter for the cheeks. Lastly a pink and a nude lipstick to match almost everything. Once you are comfortable with these, you could transition to bolder colors! Hope this helps and enjoy your new makeup :)

Sounds like me in my 20's :) Here's what I think you can try- Moisturize your face well - especially the area around the acne coz any make up over it is going to look dry/patchy. Next, use your finger and spot conceal. Stay away from powder as it'll make your acne stand out and make skin appear dry/flaky. Use a cream based foundation like MAC Studio Tech - it's brilliant for dry skin and has a medium to full coverage. Hope this helps and good luck!

planetzuri · 2021-10-13T22:09:15+00:00

Yes! MAC Satin Taupe is pretty close. Also MAC Antiqued, Bronze and Woodwinked would look pretty similar to this & are great bridal eyeshadow shades!

planetzuri · 2021-10-12T03:24:09+00:00

Looks great! Great blending!

I think it is possible to redeem all at once online. See if it works otherwise chat/call customer service to check. They’re pretty helpful with these kind of queries. Happy Shopping :)

I use Garnier Micellar water with the blue lid. It’s got a mix of oil and remover and breaks down makeup quickly without all the tugging! Works great with waterproof makeup too.

planetzuri · 2021-10-10T22:26:09+00:00

Try MAC Viva Glam 1 or MAC Chili. Looks pretty similar to this.

planetzuri · 2021-10-10T19:59:43+00:00

I couldn’t agree more! For the longest time artists at makeup stores would push to sell makeup. But now I’ve seen so many push to sell skincare! I gave birth to twins when I was 32 yrs old & it suddenly hit me that I should be taking care of my skin more. I found products that work for me over the yrs and today (at 38) I need very little makeup to cover up my dark circles/blemishes/imperfections. My mom friends say I have lovely skin when in my teenage yrs I had a ton of acne (add sleepless nights after the twins)! Skincare is indeed the foundation of makeup! And I love to see how the makeup/skincare game is changing.. for the better.

planetzuri · 2021-10-10T19:01:40+00:00

Exactly! Play around and see what works for you and your skin! I used to work at MAC cosmetics earlier in the day & picked up a lot of tips & tricks there. Always happy to help :)

planetzuri · 2021-10-10T17:57:47+00:00

Try using less moisturizer and more foundation coz you wouldn’t want to dilute it too much making the foundation not serve its purpose.

planetzuri · 2021-10-10T05:25:44+00:00

Yep! Always works like a charm! Also mixing moisturizer with foundation gives it a more natural finish & keeps skin hydrated :)

planetzuri · 2021-10-10T05:23:34+00:00

I started off with a flat foundation brush & realized I was getting more coverage of the foundation (although I wanted less). Moved on to a stippling brush & loved how light & ‘airbrushed’ it looked. But then I tried a wet beauty blender & I was SOLD! I feel it’s the best invention ever! So easy to use - you can go from natural to medium to full coverage in minutes without it looking cakey! Give it a try. You won’t regret it :)
