I haven't experimented in ages, my skin is highly sensitive so I stick with what I know. Love Urban Decay though, although I'm not sure my bank balance does  |

Morphe has really good palettes which are a great price and super bendable.
I do a lot of special effects make up with wax and liquid latex etc so I have to use spirit gum adhesive first so if anyone know of any great moisturisers please let me know  |

I've heard such mixed things about Morphe! Interesting. I can't comment specifically. |

I suspect it'll be inside space plus stress, things like that. It's common. |

Yeah I hate their foundation. Smells and feels really cakey and heavy but palettes are good. I do love urban decay. The all nighter setting spray is the best setting spray I've ever tried! |

I have eczema and really dry skin so struggle with any kind of foundation. I went out with tinted moisturiser one night and my skin was too dry, ended up looking like a leper with it flaking off

I also suffer too and have a really bad breakout at the min. I’ve been exfoliating with the palmers cocoa butter scrub, I only wash my face with the e45 face wash as it’s really moisturising, then use face cream, make sure you use a moisturising primer before any make up. X |

I used to have eczema really bad everywhere. Do you have steroid cream? Forgot the name of the one I had but it had a black and orange band around the tube. What tinted moisturer did you use? |

I (her) am really glad to see this thread... thank you OP
Setting spray was mentioned above, I use NYX matte setting spray and I find it's good. I fancy new eyeshadow palettes but not sure which brand to invest in for good quality cover. Any suggestions are so welcome.
Also, I started looking into microblading and wonder if you have any thoughts on it?
Huge thanks x |

Have a look on Temptalia's website. It's one of the few really objective makeup review sites I know. I can give my own recommendations based on what I like, but my tastes are idiosyncratic. What kind of thing are you looking for? |

Urban decay have great palettes, kat von d for bright eyeliners, brow pomade.
My friend has had mircoblading and it doesn't last long 6months to a year. Thought about tattooing?
Mind you with mircoblading you can change the shape after a year or if you need to go for a top up x |

Twist and lock gel by cantu. Great for enhancing curls.
Now tested and worth the price. Smells so lovely too.
Ordered Loreal retouch magic for my roots as advised by some ladies on here.. so that's next to experiment with. |

"Also with eyeshadow, primer is everything for cover and colour payoff.
I was looking at primers earlier this week, I think I will get myself one"
The three I've tried I like.
Urban Decay Primer Potion. This stuff is the bees knees, I think. But pricey. Colours bold, helps things last.
NYX HD Eyeshadow Base and Primer. I like this as my daily. Colours good but not incredible, long lasting.
I got a Morphe one for free ages ago (won a competition). Good for colour (similar to NYX), quite dry on (good for oily lids/ sweat?) but I find blending a bit more difficult
If you use loose pigments or anything prone to lots of fallout you'll need a glitter glue. |

I wear full face of make up every day, I like classy, smoky eyes but not bold or bright for work. Those could be kept for evening make up x |

Depending on the colour scheme you're going for, most of the Urban Decay Naked palettes get good reviews (not Cherry, Smokey less so although I think it's discontinued along with the original). I'm really loving Naked Honey lately, although 2 is still my favourite. |

I was pleasantly surprised with benefit full coverage foundation. I went to counter in February. They sorted out what would suit me best and gave me a sample which lasted at least 5 or 6 tries. So I went back and got some. A little goes a long way and lasted all day. extremely happy with results |

Biotin supplements have definitely made a difference to my hair growth. I'm also cutting back on blow drying/straightening my hair and instead using coconut oil and putting my hair in a protective style. It does annoy me because it feels too heavy and long but at the same time I kind of like it.

I've been using that L'Oréal hair lengthening stuff. It does seem to work but when I try to plop my hair the waves fall out, so it's probably incompatible. I'm focusing on letting it grow out so it's flexible when hairdressers are possible again. I'll get more into serious curly girl when my hair products need replacing, but in the meantime just treating my hair gently. |

I've had mine threaded for years, then she dyes them.
In her absence I bought a Hollywood Browser off Amazon which works better than plucking and gets the peach fuzz off your face too.
Reading your posts I think I need to up my make up game though, not sure where to start

I'd look to skincare before makeup, to be honest. Skincare claims in makeup tend to be dubious, and your skin will be your best base in any case.
What kind of sensitivities do you have, do you know? I've got sensitive skin and I know how much of a pain it can be to find out what you react to. (I've never reacted to makeup, thank goodness) |

I have very dry skin, often patchy...I use Palmer's cocoa butter twice a day as other moisturisers just aren't rich enough to deal with it. I find most foundations dry out and make those patches look flakey, which is horrible.
I also use betnovate cream and derma500 most days, and a steroid cream when it's bad (usually cold weather and/or stress induced) |

Eyeshadow primer and shadows that suit your features. Brushes (no need to go expensive, most of mine are Elf, although I also like Ecotools) for application and blending (these need cleaning). Eyeliner, pencil is the most foolproof.
Different shapes of eyeshadow look, will all look different given your unique eye. I found graphs helpful for understanding terminology in tutorials as to placement.
This might be helpful. Wayne Goss talks a lot of sense. https://youtu.be/g7RGx5wU1AQ
Robert Welsh on YouTube is my favourite for makeup tutorials at the moment.
Never buy mid to high range eyeshadow (or most makeup) without looking at reviews. Where she reviews the product, Temptalia is my go to and has never steered me wrong in terms of performance. (Different colours suit different people, although eyeshadow is more flexible than most other things. Performance is like, how long it lasts, is it easy to apply)
Experiment. Makeup is technique, and eyeshadow is difficult. |

So the past 2 weeks I’ve been trying the Cannabis Sativa Oil Daily face cream from Avon (my neighbor sent the online grouchier to me). And I can honestly say it’s amazing and well worth a try, I have naturally red cheeks and prone to hormonal spots and I thought for the price if it’s rubbish I will use as a hand cream, well that’s not happening as it’s great. |

I liked the strobe cream I tried as a sample - I think there's a dupe for it. Maybe too much of an effect to not use deliberately though? |

Interesting! Most of my wrinkles seem to be around my mouth though - have any folks out there found something that genuinely helps to get rid of them (other than Botox) - or at least reduces the appearance?
Every time I try a moisturiser for mature skin I get dry and/ or red patches everywhere and have to return to my ultra cheap unfragranced boots moisturiser (used it since I was around 16 and it seems to be the only moisturiser my skin will tolerate). |

"I think a lot of people are having skin issues. I'm breaking out a lot and my lips are drier than they've been in ages"
Partly stress/anxiety related I'm sure. Mine is linked to a lifelong struggle with stress-related excema, which has definitely got worse over the last couple of months. I've noticed a lot more hair falling out too.
Funny isn't it...we can seem calm and adjusted on the outside, but our body shouts all the warning signs that it's internalising stress. |

Fragrance is the worst. Really bad.
Beating the same old drum, have you tried hyaluronic acid layered under moisturiser? It can lead to a plumped appearance |

Definitely. I'm rolling with it, although if my lips start bleeding I'll get upset. I had it under control damn it |

"Loving this thread. Can anyone recommend a good moisturising primer suitable for dry and sensitive skin? I'm really struggling to find one that works well enough to allow me to wear foundation."
I use a body shop one. I find it really good makes skin feel great and foundation seems to last longer too |

I have to wear face masks at work which caused acne breakouts. My skin hasn't been this bad condition for a long time because of Covid-19 |

I've been watching Brad Mondo on YouTube. His videos are usually him reacting to people doing their own hair at home.
He's done some tutorials recently to help people cut their own hair during lockdown. Xx |

"Tomorrow (because scheduling reasons) I'll be doing a VE Day inspired look. More blush than I'm used to I think "
Ooooh. What will you be doing with your eyes? |

Something quite simple seems to be called for. Probably a simple brown or beige wash. Classic red lipstick and coordinating blush. Apparently foundation a shade darker than your skintone, but I don't have that |

"Dior 999, overlined as they did in the 1940s. A colour that existed at the time, too.
Looks spot on too, got to love a bit of historical accuracy, I'm such a nerd lol"
It's not to my taste, but it's for a good cause, lol. They love it |
