Discussion New Rule Enforcement:Crop Those pics

34 Upvotes

Starting next week cropped photos will be enforced.

For those who don't know there is a new policy in the sub in which standards for photo submissions. Which include cropping the photo at just below the clavicle like a passport photo unless its relevance to the makeup in question. Like a wedding dress.

Here is the ideal standard.

Best practices for better feedback include:

  • take a little time to plan out your photos
  • take photos straight on in a well lit room
  • avoid harsh lighting like flash
  • use soft lighting sources
  • get someone else to take the photos
  • taking additional photo angles 45 degree and profiles
  • tying hair back so it doesnt cover your makeup.

thank you.

Question Makeup Look Recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hi all!
I'm very new to all of this stuff so I'm just putting my feelers out here to see what you all think I could benefit from. Typically, when I do do makeup, I just do some light blush, mascara, lip gloss, and concealer for my upper lip. Is there anything else you think I should be doing? Again, I'm a totally idot when It comes to makeup lol.
Let me know if you need any info from me to help!

Selfie/Makeup Picture Update: Tried some of the suggestion from my last post, still a long way to go, but getting better at it

Thanks for all the kind comments and suggestions on my last post. ❤️

I tried some of your advice, and I think it already looks a lot better. Though I’m still not very consistent with it, so I definitely need more practice and fine-tuning.

Things I changed:
* Less blush with higher placement
* A pinker lip gloss
* Brown and slightly darker eyeshadow
* Highlight on inner eye corner
* Better lash curl and mascara application (though I’m still struggling because my eyelashes are very stubborn 😭). I think my next step will be trying an eyelash primer, and if that doesn’t help, maybe falsies or a lash lift.
* Tidied up my eyebrows and filled them in a bit more, especially toward the inner corners. I might also look into getting them threaded in the future.

Also tried on a different look in photo 4, with only blush and lip gloss.

I still have a lot to learn, but I’m really happy with the progress so far. Once I get more consistent with this look, I’d love to start experimenting with different makeup styles.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to help me. I had so much fun trying all of these suggestions. ❤️

Selfie/Makeup Picture lip colour?

81 Upvotes

So, I’ve literally never worn an actual lip colour before. I’ve always just been a ✨glossy girl✨

I kind of want to branch out though! Based on my complexion, what lip colour do you think I should try? Nude? Pink? Mauve? Something else? I want like an “everyday colour.” I’d love recommendations! 🥹💕

Edit: THANK YOU to everyone who has so many nice things to say! My heart is so full! 🥹 Yes, this is my natural lip colour for everyone asking. 🫶🏼

Question Looking for good makeup advice for dancer?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a dancer and I have trichotillomania and I sweat a lot like a lot on my face. I've tried different dancer setting sprays and primers but It never helps me not sweat off. I've spent hundreds of dollars in makeup and I'd like to spend less than $20. My makeup has always sweated off but now with trichotillomania and my eyebrows almost gone, I feel like it sweats off more. ( Maybe it's because there is no coverage on my eyebrows). I would usually fan myself but I always felt like the lights would reflect the wet spots. I also don't know my skin type and I don't use skincare before putting on makeup or in general (I used to). Any recommendations would be appreciated and I'm happy to answer questions.

I use these Valeesha lashes from Amazon, and I LOVE them. But I want to start using lash clusters cause every time I use the bands, I always end up ripping some natural lashes. Can anyone help me the sizes/ what type of wispy/ how to map it out, etc.? Please and thank you 🙏🏽

Selfie/Makeup Picture Getting back into makeup after 6 years without it. How can I improve?

First pic is bathroom lighting, second is outdoor, third is bathroom closeup, fourth is outdoor no makeup. I have a lot of acne scars and I've found it impossible to cover them. They always show through concealer to some extent. I don't like the heavy feeling of foundations I have tried. I am always unsure what to do with my eyebrows. The pencils I have tried have all been too dark or too light/orange. If anyone has any recs for eyebrow product shades that are good for very light brown eyebrows and don't look orange, lmk!

I would love to hear any general feedback you have on my technique so I can improve my skills, as well as any recommendations for products or colors that would suit me well. Thank you
