What It looks way better in person, pictures capture all your pores that the naked eye doesnt detect.
Your eye seems to have a magnifying glass!
Depends on the lighting too, if you go into Mac you're screwed but in sunlight and cafe's/restaurants where the lighting is more warm than cool, its fine.

But a luminous base sounds heavenly.

Never knew this thread was a thing

Anyways, does anyone else use coconut oil to remove their makeup? I was watching this one Youtuber (Shahd Batal) and she rubbed it all over her face and the makeup was COMPLETELY coming off I was so shocked.

I tried it on myself (then rinsed my face with water, of course, to get off the extra residue) afterwards and it worked like a charmed. It works better than any wipe I've ever used and it makes my skin feel soft and moisturized. Eyeliner is still a pain for me to get off though since my eyes are pretty small.

Coconut oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil are known for removing lots of makeup, since they're oil based and break down the makeup.
I just feel a bit uneasy using them because i do have combo skin and I'm terrified of clogged pores.
But they also work like a charm to rub off eye makeup, just put it on a cotton pad and gently massage it over your eyes for 15 secs.

I actually wish more men used makeup like foundation + concealer + highlighter, but so many straight guys here are terrified of makeup because its "feminine" and "gay"

If only they knew that all actors/artists use full coverage makeup for movies and red carpets.

Thats why when a paparazzi takes a photo of them in the grocery store everyone says "OMG BRAD PITT AGED SO BAD" no bitch he had concealer and foundation during his movie premiere.

Does anyone have any tips for improving the OP

[■YoungCalifornia■]

I'm a Male and want a no make up on look

I want a Natural look, not a Kim Kardashian photoshop mess lol


What are some do's and don'ts to achieve a natural look?

Example:

(Use Foundation

Don't use Brozer

Use Concealer

Don't use Highlighter)


And what products to buy? What brushes and blenders to use?

My Wallet is READY. I just need the right shade color lol so it might take awhile to test the color lol

[˚Greedy for Ari˚]

Okay thanks to everyone helped, the OP is about complete.
If you want your name and avi mentioned in the OP, just say "add me" or something of that sort, and you'll be added as an official ATRL Make Up Geek

Most natural products:
- Primer
- Luminzers
- Bronzer
- Light Mascara
- Eyeliner (depends on how much you use)
- Lip Tint/Stain
- Brow Tint
- Fix + (Gives face a glow and helps makeup look less cakey)

Okay products:
- BB Cream
- Tinted Moisturizer
- Contour powder
- Highlight Powder
- Brow Pencil/Gel
- Lip Gloss

Obvious products that only people whove used makeup for a while will be able to make look Natural:
- Foundation
- Concealer
- Shimmering Highlighters
- Blush
- Lipstick
- Eyeshadow

Hope this helps!

(Side note: Concealer & Foundation can look natural but they're so obvious to me because they wash the features of the face away and its hard for beginners to find their right shade and match them to their neck)

For a Beginner, How long will it take me to find my right shade of concealer and foundation?

Ask any makeup artist at Mac or sephora, but to make sure, RUB IT ON YOUR NECK and if the color disappears after rubbing, its perfect, if it is obviously darker or lighter, switch shades.

Best and biggest variety of medium to full coverage foundations:
- Makeup Forever Ultra HD
- NARS
- MAC
- Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

For Concealer, depends. Do you want to highlight or to cover?
If you want to cover, make sure its the same shade as your foundation or just 1 shade lighter.
If you want to highlight go for 2 shades lighter.

Highlighting is used to hide eyebags (the line under your dark circles) and to make your cheek bones & nose bridge more apparent.
Covering is to hide dark circles, (although i'd recommend a salmon/orange color corrector concealer for better results) and to hide acne scars or pimples.

Best Covering Concealers are MAC, Make Up Forever Ultra HD and NARS.
Best Highlighting Concealers are Maybeline Age Rewind & Fit Me, NARS (again) and LA Girl Pro Conceal.


Hope this helps! x

DO NOT use coconut oil on your face. It's toxic.

Sweet almond oil is a lot better for your face and since youd be using it regularly (removing makeup) it will not clog pores or break you out the way coconut oil has the tendacy to.

Thats why i stray away from oils.. They really can clog pores.
If you notice all makeup guru's use HIGH END skin care cosmetics to remove their makeup and to moisturize because taking care of your skin is the most important thing.

I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to "break down" the makeup and have it melt off their face before a cleanser.

Sis same, I don't really mind if people notice i'm wearing it, as long as it looks nice. But I have a lot of acne scarring and my skin get really oily throughout the day so I need to be carefull before getting any products, don't want to waste money on something I won't use #brokebitch

Omg me too!! I have oily skin too

And I understand about money as well. I mean $45 just for the foundation alone of Forever Make Up HD Ulta

I just need something to cover my acne scars up since I'm going to be on video/camera a lot and photoshoot.


I'm not gonna wear it everyday, just for video and photoshoot purposes

[suneclipse121]

I think I'm gonna start not wearing make up in the summer. I'm already oily and with the humidity and heat in Texas the makeup won't stand a chance and will just look gross.

Anyways a makeup artist who's work I love (Sir John) said not to wear any makeup in the summer and I think it's good advice. It's better for your skin too.

[Bitchcraft]

Does anyone have any good cleansers for combination / oily skin?

This sounds like nice advice but summer is the only time I'm free to do what I want with my makeup, since I don't face any time constraints

Clinique Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser is what I use, it leaves you clean and it wont leave your skin feeling dry.
