false eyebrows are a thing! https://www.amazon.com/Eyebrows-Lashybrows-Handmade-Re-Usable-Silicone/dp/B07C6GX5N3

edit: i have no thoughts at all on the brand linked here, just wanted to show that they were available!

you definitely got the glowy pink look figured out! I think you did a great job on the eyeliner/shadow and wish i had a steady hand like you! I couldnt tell if you filled in your brows or not, but they do look a bit strong. if you are filling them in, consider doing it lighter next time-- or if im totally wrong and those are your natural brows, whatever just rock it!

Also if you feel up for it i would recommend trying a peach fuzz shaver/exfoliator to remove some fuzz and make your face smoother. Right now your powder seems to be clinging to the peach fuzz and making it stand out more than it should. I would totally recommend these face/eyebrow shavers on amazon and theyre great. Anyways, gently shaving with these is wonder, whether its your whole face or just the moustache area. It really helps and is easy to use.

anyways youre doing great!

if your brow hairs dont grow in well id recommend trying this if youre interested. i learned it from another user here, i just dip a qtip in the serum and apply it to my browns (and a bit outside the current edges of where i want them to fill in) every night. took about a month but it seriously helped bring my eyebrows closer together after i thought that inner part would never grow back.

I think it's possible, but personally I find that foundation goes on much better for me with a damp beauty blender (though mine's a bb knock-off: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D0ANSAG/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_bDcPub1E19NXJ) I bought liquid foundation that highly recommends a special branded brush which was just as expensive as the foundation- but now I wish I hadn't because application with the sponge looks SO much better.

would totally second this I got these face/eyebrow shavers on amazon and theyre great. they only really made me face react a bit once when i was being a bit haphazaard, but i just applied some lotion to the spot and it was fine in an hour. Anyways, gently shaving with these is wonder, whether its your whole face or just the moustache area. OP, seriously recommend, do it like two days before your shoot and it will make your face look and feel so smooth!

I use this one! It's lasted me almost a year now and it still barely looks used lol. Just mix in like a pea size amount of the cream in the tube into the little glass bowl thing, then a few drops of the oxidant, mix it up with the brush and slap that on your brows in the same shape you'd apply the makeup if you were filling your brows! Keep toilet paper and q tips on hand so you can kind of wipe away any excess. I like mushing it onto my skin too, it kind of dyes the skin as well as the brow which gives a nice depth. Even once I've washed off the dye on my skin though, my brows look way fuller still because it fills all the little gaps and dyes all these little blonde hairs I didn't even know were there lolol. I usually slightly over apply the dye, then quickly wipe away the excess/shape them how I want with the q tip/tissues. The dye looks like I filled my brows with make up for like 3 to 4 days, with day one being very intense! By day 5 to 7 or so, they just look... more naturally thick and well shaped?

turns out theyre called manicure scissors! I found a pair that looks just like mine on amazon here. best of luck!

Thank you so much 🤗 I used a brush with a sponge applicator. Kind of like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ON1GRKE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_D698S72TH8XYVNTDHDBR

I used it to smudge some eyeshadow on the lower lash line.

Amazon has same day shipping on it! https://www.amazon.com/Biore-Aquaric-Water-Wreath-Essence/dp/B07MXWGQGF/ref=sr\_1\_8?crid=287XPGGLI3ZU4&dchild=1&dd=DNfss6dLdpkyrIs3DfqlzA%2C%2C&ddc\_refnmnt=pfsd&keywords=biore+uv+aqua+rich&qid=1622531109&refinements=p\_96...

I just switched from a gel pot with brush to a pen liner. I could do a wing with a brush like a champ, but using a pen is soo hard in comparison! I hate having to wash the brush every day though, and I want to learn because I want to try out the Stila pen liner.

Personally, I love a bushy brow but if you’re looking to make them groomed you can follow the guide i’ve attached, you can use a pencil to determine the lines on your face guide

Godefroy eyebrow dye, Amazon. Easy to use-lasts about 2 weeks for me. Each kit has enough for 17 applications. Godefroy Professional Tint Kit, Light Brown, 20 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CCYN798/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_9RVPBSNohibB6

I use the Maybelline Brow Ultra Thin pencil in blond and honestly love it for the taupe cool tone and precision.

So I SUCK at winged eyeliner so I went on amazon and bought this eyeliner stamp and it’s like the best thing ever. I think the shape will go well with your eyes. It comes with two one for the right and one for the left and they both have normal liner pens on the other side from the stamp. I use the stamp and go over it with my nyx liner. But seriously try it!!! eyeliner stamp

Yeah no problem! Here’s some links to the ones I use, you mostly want to look for something with a dense amount of bristles so you get an even coverage.

real techniques face brush set (I’m not sure if can use amazon but this is a good shape to use)

And another place I get brushes is BH Cosmetics, they have some of the best affordable sets and they’re super soft. (And they’re having a sale!!) https://www.bhcosmetics.com/collections/brush-sets

Hey OP, I'm reading in a lot of the comments that you're afraid of physical exfoliation because of other exfoliants in your routine and sensitive skin. I too have some super sensitive skin. Bought some super cheap silicone face scrubbies from amazon a couple months ago and I've really been liking them. The 4-pack is about $7 and I these are super soft and gentle (and also really easy to clean). I found out pretty dang quick that I was actually leaving way more makeup on my face at the end of the day than I thought when I was just using my fingers to wash my face. I also mix squalene oil in my face moisturizer in the evening and that's helped keep my moisture balance a little closer to where I'd like it to be.

I go to Ulta or Sephora and take their free little tester spoolies :D

It did take my brows a while to get used to it, but after about a month they naturally started to stay upwardsish.

I spoolie first without soap to get it all in the right direction, Then I add the soap.

It also helped for me to brush them when I got done washing my face or taking a shower and they were still wet.

And oops, idk why I said Leeds in my previous comment, it’s Pears soap.

Pears Transparent Glycerin Bar Soap 3.5 Oz Each (Two Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096TEASY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4cBnFb2YYCGGA

You know, the one eyeshadow palette id recommend for you, as a beginner who doesn't necessarily wanna become a freaking artist, is this one: https://www.amazon.in/Wet-Wild-Color-Icon-Palette/dp/B0797HSDXT/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=eyeshadow+palette+wet+and+wild&qid=1600534094&sprefix=eyeshadow+palette+wet&sr=8-1

Affordable, good quality, and guess what? It's coloured powder! You can use them as eyeshadow, BLUSH or highlighters, even! 😆❤

Get yourself a nice Amazon brush set as well, like this: https://www.amazon.in/MISS-MAM-Professional-Brushes-Leather/dp/B07MVZ2RWL/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=brush+makeup+set&qid=1600534666&refinements=p_72%3A1318476031&rnid=1318475031&sr=8-2

Couple blending sponges for free. You're done! 😌

Thank you. I got the flower crown on Amazon. Its really amazing Vivivalue Rose Flower Crown Boho... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072NBMX52?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I will try the soft or beige liner for bottom lash. Could you give up some ideas for lip color. I am a total noob at any makeup so would really appreciate.

I'm going to second the shaving suggestion. Tinkle razors are cheap and work fine, and I've found them in stores before if you don't have/use Amazon. No issues with the fuzz coming back in prickly and it makes a shocking [good] difference in how my makeup applies and looks! I also use them for trimming near/between my eyebrows and in my bikini area.

Mine is a cheap set off amazon! The "Seven Essential makeup brushes" set from Lamora. I'm not sure if it's smaller than yours, but there's a few options to pick from.

Should be all good on the SPF. I'm a sunscreen nerd & do 50 even with BB cream because I don't use much BB.

I use the ecotools eyeshadow brush from this kit. You can find this brand at drugstores & Ulta. The elf one looks good but it comes down to your preference on softness/stiffness & how thin you want it.

The problem with diet is that skin is the last organ that nutrients reach, that's why topicals can be quite effective. There are upper limits to how much nutrients a body can absorb per day, and they still may not get distributed efficiently. That said, if you suspect you aren't getting enough there's no harm in supplementing, vitamin C and vitamin D (D3 is what you want) don't cause issues when taken in excess, and a lot of people have a vitamin D deficiency.

I am a bit alarmed by using lemon juice on skin. It is effective in reversing hyperpigmentation but it's extremely acidic and a known irritant, it can really damage your skin's acid mantle. For undereye skin especially I would use something gentler. This reminds me, licorice root extract is another gentle ingredient that fights hyperpigmentation. It's Skin Power 10 LI Effector is cheap and you only need a drop.

I have a similar skin color and I feel like my Nars foundation in Siberia matches better than anything else, except maybe in the summer. My next favorite is this one.

I've always had really chapped lips and had this help a lot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VSH7LAG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YD9pxbW93W4TM

I apply it at night before I go to bed. Use it on my face as well actually since I have dry skin as well.

You have really beautiful eyes, and I think that by framing them well by masking the undereye discoloration, and perfecting your brows, that your face could look killer.

The Judith August Everything Pencil Concealer in Pink Glow is the most effective way to conceal my under eye darkness in a natural way. The other colors of her concealer sticks are great at covering burst caps, so I'd recommend investing in a three pack, if your budget allows.

I'd also recommend a brow pencil with a cooler, less-warm undertone. Something taupe-ish, perhaps? I use this and really like it.

I found the BB cream you're using to make my skin appear a bit grey.

More blush, and maybe a bit of illuminating powder to give you a glow.

I use a clean mascara wand I salvaged from an old mascara to comb through my lashes :)

This product gets rave reviews and has a really good price/quality/quantity ratio.

I have the same issue and I've found a tinted zinc oxide ointment covers all the red, prevents the area from getting oily and shiny, and reduces black heads and pimples. Here's the one I use: Margarite Zinc Cream -- 1 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001TQ5MW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_dFjbwbTF3MMAA

Sorry, I'm not really sure... as I tend to get the cheaper drugstore brands, also the ones that run paler and cooler in shade and I'm not sure of your skin type.

If it helps I use Rimmel Match Perfection if I ever need proper makeup, and before that I think I had Max Factor Smooth Effect. (Revlon Colorstay is apparently a bit more coverage than that.) Sorry for recommending cheap stuff, just you know. Budget.

Edit: Oh and if you were game to try false lashes, I used to use Ardell 'Sweeties' for clubwear. They make a huge difference while not looking too costumey. You may have to trim one or two lashes from the outer corner of each so they're not overly long for your eyelids.

I think it would help if you posted a pic of your eyebrows now, you want to match it to your brow hairs. For application I use the angled brush in this set, you just need a separate spoolie.

Happens to me too I think nobody will notice unless their close but the higher angle makes you look more awake. I use a tapered blending brush and a pencil brush to help me make a more precise outer v

Maybe invest in one of these? I did, after getting inconsistent results with threading despite going to the same salon each time. There are tutorials on YouTube to show you how to use it.
