TYSM Just helping out.
Talking about makeup is fun, I'm so glad we have this thread. None of my friends IRL want to talk about contouring or highlighting

Well, your friends kinda suck, I'd probably ask you stuff all the time.

An illuminator/luminizer is kind of a liquid/gel that is used over the entire face/or just specific areas to give it a bit of shine/glimmer. Its put under foundation usually and kind of makes you have that shiny/dewy glow look. Its more natural looking than a highlighter.
I'd recommend starting off with a highlighter, since it also can be used to "set" your luminizer.
Yes you can get both since highlighters are used to set luminizer's.



That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you

Welcome sis!

Any woC/PoC here's a masterpost of makeup products adviced

I would rly appreciate if someone made a list of the makeup routine in the supposed order. So like; when do I illuminate? When do I bronze? When do I highlight?

I'm guessing I illuminate with my foundation, bronze after contouring and highlight last?

[Wooly]

I've just started using Nyx BB cream a few weeks ago and its alright... are there any BB creams you all recommend?

I don't illuminate, but when I already have foundation and powder on, I bronze/contour, put on blush, then highlight

Thank you! Wow I always thought blush is last! What about baking?

GreedyForAri (or anyone) pls place these in order of doing it:

Highlight
Contour
Powder
Bronzer
Illuminate
Highlighter
Blush
Baking

[B'Day]

I usually do skin stuff first. Eye stuff second, lip stuff third.

You can do blush last imo, I just like strong highlight, so I put it last and it works best for me, I guess it can depend on the products I use. I think the best way is to experiment and see what works for us best, just like some people prefer doing brows/eye makeup before foundation and some after

What do you guys use to remove strong mascara? Coconut oil works best for me, but sometimes it feels too oily (which sounds dumb, but you know what I mean)

Depends on occasion but i'll pretend its a very eventful night.

1. Moisturize
2. Mattifying Gel
3. Primer
4. Color Correcting
5. Foundation/BB Cream/Tinted Moisturiser
6. Concealers (first a neutral one for dark circles, second a lighter shade for eye bags)
7. Setting Powder for face & eyes
8. Bronzer
9. Contour (Cheekbones, nose, forehead, temples)
10. Highlight
11. Brows (I'm very messy with my foundation so i leave brows for later)
12. Mascara/Liner on outer corner of eyes
13. Setting Sprays
14 .Shimmering highlight/ Luminizers (they glow way more when you apply them after a spray)
15. Lip tint

Sounds like a lot, but i try to aim for a "natural" look

@B'day there is no exact right way to apply make up (apart from the obvious things like primer before foundation etc)
But a lot of people prefer to do their brows before their foundation, i don't because I'm messy with my beauty blender and i tend to dab at my brows and get foundation on.
I like to contour after i bronze but most prefer the other way round (also i tend to bronze then contour then go bronze again, then go contour again because I'm a mess and I'm addicted)
Some swap the order of concealer and foundation
I know some that contour under foundation for a more natural look

Depends on your preference and what you like to stand out really

I know exactly what you mean, olive oil just felt too weird on my eyes.
Use Bioderma Make-up Remover & Makeup wipes, its really good. I just got into it myself

[˚Greedy for Ari˚]

So i just started getting into the Dior Maximizer for lashes (primer and lengthens your lashes in the long road)
Its really really good, pricey but worth it.
Still haven't used it before mascara though because i only use mascara for occasions so i'll let you know how it works with it when i do!

Maybeline has some great ones! I personally don't use BB cream since finding a matching shade is hard, i prefer tinted moisturisers. (NARS )
