Yeah, NC25 is more light-to-medium than fair, IMO. And if you tend to burn, that means you may have cooler undertones to your skin. You don’t have to be super-pale to burn easily.

So is it safe to say you’ve combination skin, and you want sheer-to-medium coverage with a natural finish?

You need to think about more than finding the right shade.

What’s your skintype? Do you have a foundation you’re using currently (and what shade is it, if you are)? Are there any other concerns you have (e.g., acne, hyperpigmentation)? What kind of coverage do you want (sheer, medium, full, buildable)? What type of finish (dewy, matte,…[Read more]

The only bits I shave (and even then, not with a traditional razor) are above my lip and in between my brows. (I never had either/or waxed, soooo…) I’m not all that concerned about the rest of the fuzz.

If in doubt, leave it alone.

Sigma F80 is also a dupe of sorts. It’s bigger and more dense than the 130 but I think it’s smaller than RT’s Stippling Brush.

When you say “fair”, how fair do you mean? Because some people I’ve encountered online consider themselves fair and it turns out they’re NC/NW20 in most MAC foundations, which — IMO, at least — is more light than fair. (I consider myself fair-skinned, and I can tell you that the vast majority of drugstore foundations do not match me.)

Also do not spray your pressed products with alcohol. It can ruin the product.

If alcohol can ruin an eyeshadow or pressed powder product, explain to me how come it’s recommended you use alcohol to mend a broken one.

Also, again, I stress the spraying is done at a distance, never up close. I have NEVER ruined any powder product from doing this,…[Read more]

I’ve sprayed a mix of 70% alcohol and water (50/50) on eyeshadows and have had no issues regarding bacteria growth at all (you spray from a distance, not up close). They’ve never gone hard, either. (Water on its own will harden an eyeshadow or other powder product. Alcohol does not harden powder; it evaporates. That’s why, if you break an…[Read more]

I think my favourite one is the top left in the second set. I think the text flows best in that, and I like that Marlena’s signature isn’t squashed underneath it like it is in some of the others. That said, I do miss having the damask pattern on both sides in that one.

I honestly don’t carry much in mine, largely because I don’t do a ton of touching up.

Generally speaking, with brows, if they’re light, you use something that’s a similar/the same colour. If they’re dark, generally, a shade lighter.

Are your brows as dark as your hair, or are they lighter?

No, because you clean and sanitize your brushes after each use.

I’m a mod now, which means I can actually help do something about it.

If the poster isn’t anonymous (i.e., they actually have an account here), what you can do is go to their profile and report the profile. The admins will give them the boot.

I’m thinking either it’s a side effect of some of the medicine you’re taking, or you need to adjust your skincare routine.

There are a lot of…[Read more]

I use wipes and/or cleansing water (either Caudalie’s or Bioderma).
