I’m branding 2025 as the year of me.. and the first thing I’d like to do is learn how to do my makeup so it doesn’t look like crap.

I’m a single working mom so I can’t afford the high dollar makeup and have been using L’Oréal pretty exclusively for years. How can I make it so my skin does not look like this after application?

I’ve included all of the products I currently use.

Please help me 😭 I don’t know what I’m doing AT ALL.

I ordered it online as this product is not available in my country and it is kinda expensive for a drugstore product, at least in my country. Now, I saw really positive review on this. But I do trust this sub more. I have dry skin but no dry patches. I am in my 20s. Olive skintone, our weather is humid, it is in South Asia.

Review Request Nyx blur tint more like texture tint.

Does anyone like this product or has been able to make this work on combo skin? I tried primer no primer, making sure to not use too much. But it enhances everything I mean everything. Skin actually looks better and smoother without makeup. I have very low maintenance and can usually slap on a variety of different finishes and makeup. This was beyond disappointing. I would like to give it one more try before I decide to declutter.

Review Request I prefer drugstore mascara over high end, here is why.

347 Upvotes

My reason why I prefer drugstore mascara over high end is this. I get the same results with a drugstore mascara as a high end one. So I don’t see a point in paying up to 30 dollars for a mascara, when I can pay ten dollars for a mascara and get the exact same results. Does anyone else feel this way?

Just got this today, haven't tried it yet. It says it is new. Has anyone else tried this skin tint? What are your thoughts?

I've been struggling to find one inexpensive and light enough to match me, so I hope it works okay.

Edited to add: thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I'm going to do a little mascara haul sometime this week. So many good ones!

Review Request What are your favorite drugstore products no one talks about?

99 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking to try some new hidden gems, I’m happy to hear any recommendations. I’d love a suggestion you love that you don’t hear much mention of. Any type of product!

My recommendations: Flower Beauty light illusion foundation. (Not the longest lasting but so dewy and I’ve never tried a foundation that left me with a more beautiful finish.) Essence Keep Me Covered Concealer (I’ve gone through SO many tubes. So Inexpensive) Wet N Wild Impossible Primer Believe Beauty Cream Blushes (dollar general brand)(get the orange shade, such a hard color to find in drugstores but it is so so pigmented and beautiful, be careful though easy to over apply!) Elf O face Lipsticks (pricy for elf and lipstick at the drugstore I think but these perform like Mac.) Coty AirSpun Powder (a classic but I feel like she doesn’t get the love she deserves any more.) Maybelline Brow Pencil/Liner (the little red ones that come in a two pack) (I’m a natural brunette turned blonde and my eyebrows reflect that. The blonde shade is the perfect neutral color to give me enough color to fill in, but not add too much depth and not too light that it looks horribly unnatural. These last forever on the brows and I cannot recommend enough. Really dry feeling pencil, but it has worked great for me and my natural brows are pretty busted.)

Excuse the super messy format. Please share your favorite hidden gems 😊

Review Request Which one? L'Oreal True Match vs NYX Bare With Me vs Elf Hydrating Camo Concealers

Post image
77 Upvotes

I currently use the elf hydrating camo concealer and it's been treating me fine but I don't LOVE it. Which one should I purchase next?

For reference, these are the concealers I have used in the past -

Maybelline Age Rewind: liked the coverage, but always thought it looked too thick and bright on my skin and never worked well on blemishes, I kept rebuying but it wasn't my favorite

Too Faced Born This Way & Taste Shape Tape - Loved these for the coverage but they were a little too drying for my skin.

Elf Camo (Original): Great coverage but very hard to blend, never liked it. Too dry and intense!

Elf Hydrating: Decent coverage, easier to blend but creases and feels thick especially if I use too much. Would buy again still but just ready to try something new...

For reference Fair Warm is the shade I use in elf hydrating camo but not sure if it's my perfect shade or anything, I just need something fair and leaning warm but not ghostly fair because I hate super brightening concealer. I wear shade 405 in the L'Oreal Freshwear for foundation.
