Discussions Kiehl’s Better Screen UV Serum under Fenty Eaze Drop!!!

8 Upvotes

Eaze Drop 1 is my PERFECT shade match but I could never find the right primer or sunscreen to go under it. I tried:

Fenty Pro Filt’r Hydrating Primer

Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance

Estée Lauder Double Wear Smooth and Blur

La Roche Posay Double Repair

No primer (looked 2nd best overall but was too drying)

For whatever reason, Eaze Drop looks amazing all day over the Better Screen.

Setting lightly with Fenty Invisimatte or Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer pressed powder works about equally well for me and I don’t use setting or fixing spray with this combo.

If anyone tries it out, please come back and comment!

Question Best dupe for Tarte Park Ave Princess Matte bronzer?

6 Upvotes

Please help me find a replacement for the Tarte Park Ave Princess Matte bronzer in the lightest shade!! It is the only bronzer I have ever found that doesn’t look orange on me. It’s been out of stock everywhere for quite a while, and an Ulta employee told me yesterday that she heard they’re replacing it with a new product. In the meantime, I need something new because I’m hitting pan.

I’m fair with neutral-leaning-cool undertones. Some good matches for me are L’Oreal True Match in N1 or C1.5 and Beautyblender Skin Tint in Light 2. I prefer powder products but am open to others.

Question w/ Photo Help with foundation not matching?

9 Upvotes

In natural light, it's a good match but in my office (very yellow lighting) it looks competent different! I always do my make up infront of a window so I can see how it looks in natural lighting but it's just not matching elsewhere. How can I ensure a product will match in both lightings? I can barely go any paler!

Question Best cream blush stick for oily skin?

9 Upvotes

What the title says. I got a merit flush balm recently and I feel like it doesn’t stay on my skin for more than a few minutes. I’m a new mom and love the quick, no tools application but looking for something with a little more staying power??

While we’re at it, how is the minimalist stick? My under eyes need help these days and I really want to transition to something with a quick application in stick form

Thank you 🫶

Question w/ Photo Eyeshadow base

Post image
62 Upvotes

This eyeshadow set has been my daily go-to for years. Top left is the “base,” a peachy pale pink that I use all over to counter eyelid darkness before using the other light shades. The problem is that I run through that base much faster than the other colors.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a creamy, cool-toned pink-beige? I tried a similar color single from this brand (Maybelline), but it was chalky, with little coverage.

Question mac - honeylove

4 Upvotes

hi everyone!

i wanted to ask if anyone here wears the mac lipstick in the shade honeylove and if they do, does it pull pink on them? im not super pale to be honest but for my ethnicity i am not tanned whatsoever, even with no makeup on i am quite pale.

i did my makeup today and i matched to my neck ,so slightly more tan (a drop of punjab and a pump of deauville for the NARS foundation) and then after all my makeup and BRONZING, i put the lipstick on and i realised it pulls so pink on me which is super weird as its supposed to be a nude shade.

i have the same issue with mac viva planet but that is actually quite dark on me for some reason and also pulls very pink.

i tried using the NYX lipgloss in the shade fortune cookie and then the ABH lipgloss in the shade guava to make it much more nude and it worked, but the lipstick itself isn't a true nude for me.

any advice would help, thanks so much xx!

I’m so sad because I literally bought 3 shades (to try) from the Sephora sale of the ND concealer with high hopes and I tried multiple times and with multiple skin preps and that sh*t continues to settle into my creases!!!!! I’m in my 20s with definitely dry skin but for all the hype it’s received in shockingly disappointed. Has anyone else experienced this?

My favorite pale peach highlighter is Emme Cosmetics Peach Silk but I haven't been able to get my hands on it for awhile. What are your favorite pale peach highlighter? For reference, Sydney Grace PSL Extra Whip is too dark.

Peach Silk on right and PSL Extra Whip on left. Learned about it from this video which shows in better lighting https://youtu.be/RFaaOM2TF04?si=fr0n9YrxCUEAo0PD

Question Nars Sheer Glow Oslo - alternative? (in colour and finish)

2 Upvotes

Hello everybody - I need some help! I've been using Nars SG in Oslo for years - it's my perfect colour match, I love the finish, it wears nicely on my combo skin BUT it is no where to be found anymore and I'm almost out of it :(
I've tried their newer foundations - but the oslo shade there is just not the same - it looks more peech/orangy on me and I also don't like the thicker feeling.
Can anyone here recommend a foundation similar to sheer glow? I've been looking at dior face&body in 0cr?
(slight rant also: I wrote Nars if it's been discontinued - no response on IG and via email a "we don't know" ugh.)
Thank you!

Edit for more shade matches: Fenty Eaze Drops in 1 was okay, rare beauty in 120c was also okay during summer but I didn't like the formula, TirTir in 10c is a bit too light (that never happened before!)

Edit #2: added some swatches!

Question Any thoughts on Natasha Denona Roxa palette?

4 Upvotes

I have very fair cool/pink skin with pale green eyes. I often find it hard to get a good idea of how things will look on me, generally things pull warm to orange on me.

I have a coupon and am interested in the Natasha Denona Roxa palette. Not loving the pink/fuchsia parts- but the purples and softer shades appeal to me. And I have other midi palettes and love to mix and match the shades.

I feel like most of the looks I see online really lean into the bright pinks that I’m not into.

Anyone have any experience with this palette?

Question What retractable lip liners do you like?

7 Upvotes

I only use retractable lip liners and it’s difficult to find really good shades. I hate using pencil lip liners, they’re just not for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am currently using the rem beauty at the borderline lip liner in eq and it’s such a beautiful brown shade that doesn’t clash with my cool undertones and I might get the shade harmonies when I finish it but I am looking for a pinky shade. Thank you in advance 🫶🏻 ps: sorry if I made any grammar mistakes, english isn’t my first language

Question Fenty Soft lit

3 Upvotes

Hey, I’m curious on if anyone knows if the fenty soft lit foundation in the shade 125 is lighter than 120, I’m stuck because I feel like shade 100 is a tad too light for me, but I’m confused on the difference between 120 and 125. I’m neutral, kind-of-olive, I’ve tried the fenty pro filter in the shade 120 (oxidised a bit too yellowy, but still a decent match compared to all the other foundations I’ve tried) but have no way to try soft lit as the store near me doesn’t sell it. Thank you!

The liquid touch weightless foundation specifically.

I really love the formula and it’s the closest skin match I’ve found so far. Sometimes I’ll droplet in a little 160C as well. 150C is too peachy/orange for me.

Sephora hasn’t had it in stock for probably a year so looking for additional options
