I use LA girl for contour and Mac for highlight but I just feel like I've been not letting my skin breathe

I'm so confused
There's a massive debate.. do u guys think eye makeup should be before foundation and contouring?
What do u guys do first? I used to do eyebrows first then I switched to foundation first but apparently now it's wrong my life!

I just found this out which is mind boggling.
DO NOT LICK YOUR LIPS EVER.
The enzymes in your saliva can break down and dry your lips.
Also when the saliva evaporates off your lips, it draws away any moisture in it causing it to dry even more.

This is how we get chapped lips. our lips are dry, we lick them, they feel moist for a bit, but then get dryer, so we lick again, then they get even dryer. ITS A VICIOUS CYCLE.

Apply lip balm (non flavoured or coloured) whenever they feel dry and drink water.
Also petroleum jelly before you sleep, slather that ****!

This has been a life changing technique for me thought i'd share. No more chapped lips

And when I tell people Vaseline is life, they laugh. Finally.. receipts!
I'm actually addicted to Vaseline I have been since I was 9 years old.

Happy National Lipstick Day. X

When I do my mom's make up I do eyes first and eyebrows and then make up

I do eye first because of the fallout and it helps if I **** up the eyeliner

my brother is gifting me bunny's palette next friday I legit can't wait

also yesterday I picked up a few pigments from mac and I have to say using the kitschmas shade as a highlighter is heaven sent

There's no "official" way to do it.
But it depends, if you're using eye shadow that has a lot of fall out or pigment, its better to do it before foundation so no eye shadow falls on your perfectly beated face.
But for me I'm messy with my foundation so i do it before brows because i tend to get foundation on my brows.

Amazing video!

Guys, I got the Dior mascara n it literally makes my lashes look like I have fake ones on

[dannyboy]

Guys, I use a light coverage foundation every day but it's so sticky and it's the worst feeling ever. Would a translucent powder help with this? Thank you

You guys if you're around 23 you should start promoting collagen synthesis since it starts depleting around the age of 25.
Basically, your skin will stop producing cells that promote elasticity, so you'll get wrinkles and saggy skin gradually.
To minimise it or prevent it, a mask 1-2x a week is good and the occasional facials.
Don't forget to moisturise. How do you think J Lo looks 30 when she's 47! COSMETICS!! and botox

I got this 24k Gold Mask from Peter Thomas, its so gooey but keeps my skin so plump and fresh

I'm sorry, but this mask is not very good. Look for ingredients such as vitamin C, forms of vitamin A (preferably tretinoin) and peptides (Matrixyl 3000 for example). Also, moisturising will not help against collagen degrading, only sunscreen will.

I get Vitamin C from my serum so i don't really need it from a mask, plus i consume 2000+mg of Vitamin C via ingestion.
This product contains 24k & Colloidal Gold, both of which provide hydration firming and moisturising.
And gold has been proven by research to increase skin elasticity and to prevent depletion of collagen.
Also caffeine is great in energising your skin.
Do some research sis!

mess at me sounding like a sales person.

But yes sunscreen is a very important point, SPF is necessary!

Foundation feeling tacky? hmm, what is it. Do you use a primer?
But definitely setting foundation with powder helps.

I stumbled upon this thread, and since I've been lately thinking more and more about skincare and how I should start to look after mine better, I guess this would be a good place to start. Could one of you - the males in particular - walk me through your procedures and habits. What should I be/start doing for my skin health? I'd like tips and product recommendations etc. I'm not looking to pour tons of money into cosmetics and devote myself to hardcore routines, but the essential and cost-effective stuff would be nice.

Let's say I do the bare minimum now.

Tell us more about your skin sis.

Filll in this questionnaire:

1) How old are you?
2) Do you suffer from Dry, Oily or Combo skin?
3) Do you have any acne scarring?
4) Do you suffer from Acne?
5) What would you like to correct or change in your face texture/tone?

However i can give you a few tips to follow all skin types for the meanwhile:

1) Exfoliate once a week, you can make your own at home with 2 tbsp sugar, honey & extra virgin olive oil/coconut oil
2) Moisturise day and night, after washing your face.
3) Do not use bar soap on your face, Bar soap is basic and your face is acidic, you want to match the PH of your face, so use a facial cleanser
4) Yoghurt, Honey and Orange extract/oil mask can be made.
5) Also i posted a video about skin care a few posts up, it has some great tips!

Is it okay to do liquid lipstick first? I like to take my time and I'm paranoid about messing up so I just like to do it first not only to get it over with but in case I DO mess up.

People usually leave it as a last option since foundation can get on the lips, also if you do mess up with your lipstick you can always correct it with concealer.

Aye aye.

1) 22
2) Combo, I guess. Can dry a bit at times, especially during winters.
3) Little but barely noticeable on my temples.
4) Nope.
5) Nothing I can think of/name. I mean, sure, others who look after their skin properly likely have a better, smoother texture etc, but I'm just motivated to improve & then maintain skin health and delay aging, the usual.

Thanks a lot! What kind of products should I use, especially when it comes to the moisturizers/creams. I don't really exfoliate and haven't moisturized regularly thus far, so clearly I can make improvements.
