You look more warm toned and the pink you've chosen for eyes and lips is very cool toned. Which is a valid artistic choice! But for comparison's sake, you may want to try warmer tones and see what you prefer. Happy experimenting!

u/Tootsie-Louise1 Jul 26 '26
I used to try to match my makeup with my clothes, polish, whatever. Now I just wear what looks best on me. I agree with the others that you did a great job, but experiment with warmer shades to match your skin tone.

the secret with eyeliner is that u actually don’t need to line the entire top of your eye, gradually thin it out about halfway down ur eye! the thickness of the line on top is making your eyes look weighed down.
you could also likely go lighter on your base products, but you don’t have too. Your base is smooth and flawless, so if that’s the look you’re going for, it’s done well. However, thinner bases that are more undetectable are a bit more on trend. it’s a matter of thinning out your application and hydrating your skin, mixing your foundation with a little moisturizer would do this pretty effectively! to be crystal clear though, if you like this full coverage matte look, then it is done perfectly.
lips are a little intense. liner that’s bright blended into your lips a little and covered with a gloss like you’re wearing will give you the same bold colour and look without it looking like your wearing someone else’s mouth.
edit: re: mascara comments: you could use double the product, but it would be less noticeable that
you have a light lash going on if the liner was thinner and sharper. right now the weights don’t match and putting a ton of mascara on would probably result in your eyes looking half closed.
you look amazing and for being NEW to makeup your wings are on point, your blending is perfect (do not take this compliment lightly. blending is a sore spot for some of the most gorgeous girls i know.) you’re colour theory with your own skin tone is beautifully done and you have avoided looking cakey or weird in any way! you could change nothing about this and have it be gorgeous and iconic for years to come.

I think the thick line is actually really adorable on them. They have a good amount of lid space to get away with it. Definitely agree on the lips and making foundation more moisturising

u/Purple_Bill6384 Jul 26 '26
Everyone is being really kind and encouraging here, but I want to be real-real: you look cakey! Less may be more with your skin, especially if you have texture, or fine lines. Focus on moisturizing, exfoliating and prepping your skin and then just do a touch of foundation where you need it.
Your lips are precious. The wing is fierce. Get that skin right and you’ll be unflappable.

u/Tough-Tart-8520 Jul 26 '26
Honestly I agree but I havent figured out how to not get it to be cakey! Lol my skin is definitely more textured than some so in my mind more foundation = less texture, but thank you I am for sure trying that next time!
11
u/alliwilli92 Jul 26 '26
You are likely just using too much foundation. Start with less then build if necessary.
I dab the foundation on my face in tiny dots on my cheeks and forehead then work it in with a beauty blender or foundation brush. If you need more, you can add it but it’s more difficult to remove without using makeup remover once you put too much. If you have any spots that need more coverage, spot fill those with a matching concealer.

u/Natural_Cake_5905 Jul 26 '26
also, using glycolic acid overnight twice a week or so (like the toner type from The Ordinary) or other exfoliating acid toners can refine your skin texture by a lot. it's like night and day for many. (don't forget to wear sunscreen though!)

u/Purple_Bill6384 Jul 26 '26
Skin prep is half the battle! Get yourself a good exfoliant and sunscreen. I love the sunscreen Beet the Sun which has skincare built in, and a little Paula’s Choice BHA. I do both those things, and then a little moisturizer. Once my skin is clean and moist, I dab on foundation just where I have redness.
Most think foundation should be a blanket, but really it’s best as spot control!

u/Mental_Confusion_113 Jul 27 '26
You don’t need foundation, swap it with spf tinted moisturiser, or tint foundation as it’s light, not cakey and u can build it and not look cakey and if u do then u can learn to stop one layer is enough. For blush pls use big fluffy brushes not the ones that MUA show on vids , blush should be used as an accent even if u want a deep look, with fluffy brushes it applies so much nicer, evenly onto the cheeks compared to thick dense brushes or stipple brushes, contour and bronzer I’d say the same a fluffy angled brush. Contour r cool tones or greys to sharpen ur natural bone structure, use to above the cheek one rather directly on top of it and brush it up and more towards ur ears than towards ur cheek, bronzer is for depth & warmth same area or slightly under the contour shading, it can be tricky to match contour w bronzers as ppl use it then looks muddy. I’d recommend to not place it anywhere past where ur natural arch is or mid section of ur eyebrow so avoid it looking messy , chalky or muddy. I add highlighter and bronzer on my ears when I’m done , tint under my jaw and below my ears with the remaining product left on the blender or wtv i use. When u hold brushes i find holding the end of the brush is better for control, and how much gets done onto the face, holding the brush closer to where the bristle is kinda punches it into ur face, and goes on to strong. Always blend blush, contour, lipsticks and warm it on the back of ur hand, a paint palette even, or use the lid of ur makeup. Light hand is better than a heavy one.

u/Terrible-Curve6520 Jul 26 '26
Hey there, I'm a professional makeup artist here so I'm giving you purely advice on my opinions do with them what you will,
Start with an eyeshadow primer to help your eyeshadows pop 🎉 ( and they will last longer) for drugstore I recommend the milani eyeshadow primer. For high end I recommend the urban decay eyeshadow primer potion (they also have a mini if you want to try before committing to the full size).
With your foundation it looks a little dark/ wrong undertone for you. I'd say you're more cool toned. Maybe use a moisturizing primer or setting spray as well.
With your eyeliner I think it looks cute but a tip to make it even better is I use these little cotton swabs with makeup remover filled inside them. Because to be honest with you I still suck at eyeliner. They're called alleyoop makeup remover swabs, you can get them on Amazon. Also consider getting a pencil eyeliner and lining your upper lash line to make the liner and your lashes blend more seamlessly and it'll make your lashes look thicker.
With your lipstick it's super cute, maybe just go in with a lip liner first to get that super crisp line. ( Drugstore I like NYX, high end I like MAC).
I'm in no way trying to be harsh or hurt your feelings. I think you definitely have some good skills. If you have any questions feel free to message me :)

u/oliv-_-mae Jul 26 '26
You did way better than my first ever attempt. You just gotta learn some tips and trics so make it look seamless: More concealer/contour, less foundation, use an eyelash curler and apply mascara on the bottom lashes as well. The top lip looks the tiniest bit underlined.
Overall you did great, it's a learning process so don't stress about it. Less is more, especially in the learning stages.

u/maribbluv Jul 26 '26
hey! #1 skin texture is absolutely normal, BUT there are things that can help make it not appear cakey. firstly skin prep. wash your face with your desired cleanser. wait about 1-2 minutes or for your face to fully dry and apply a hydrating serum to plump the skin. wait 1-2 minutes for your skin to fully absorb it and apply a moisturizer, let this sit for 5ish minutes. after this apply suncreen (even if its not “sunny”!!!! very important!!!) and lastly a very sticky primer (this will also help your makeup last longer). then apply your makeup. personally i don’t like using foundation because it feels heavy sometimes, so i instead use a concealer as foundation, i love the dior forever skin corrector. you also look a little orange/yellow in some pictures, this might just be the lighting, but i suggest going to a sephora or ulta and getting your shade match and undertones. they do this completely free and you don’t have to purchase their makeup.
and thats all i think you did absolutely amazing for your first look. feel free to ask about any specific products and i’ll also be happy to share my personal makeup tut as well 😊

u/Raccoon_Army_Leader Jul 26 '26
Dumb question but did you just take these after finishing your look vs are these at the end of the day?
4th pic is likely the lighting but lips up look great. I’d be interested to see how the tip of your chin looks thru the day bc it looks a bit cakey/dry/heavy application (?) and when mine looks similar, I noticed my makeup gets patchy throughout the day even when the rest of my face is fine.
Eyes are great no notes on that

Your wings and brows are amazing. You have a warm skin tone so avoid cool pinks and rather try warm pinks/corals. Try using a more sheer foundation as you can definitely get away with it. Really good job 👏
2
u/Litkat99 Jul 26 '26
First off I love the lip/nails combo! I think you nailed it (hehe). Also the wings are AMAZING especially as someone who's still new to makeup.
I guess my only advice really would be to try maybe a lighter base. You have a beautiful complexion by the looks of it and the foundation seemed to be just a wee bit heavy. I'll also piggy-back off another commenter who suggested a bit of a cooler tone for the foundation as well.
I'm also a little on the cool side and so far the best match I've found is the Haus labs foundation but I've read it's not the best on everyone's skin, so take that advice with a grain of salt. (I'm a fan but at $70 a bottle you can definitely shop around)
Overall though this is a great look and suits your face really well!! It's giving that "sexy office siren" look that was going around a little while ago and you killed it!!

U did a great job!
Some makeup recs to buy if u want! Curl ur lashes and use a volume or any waterproof mascara try essence princess u can find them on eBay/amazon for a good price, great quality! I usually get a black pencil and tightline the upper lids it’s hard to do at first but u keep ur eye open and darken the top lid only, just below the upper lash to pull it all together! Check out the pearl highlighter from primark it’s like £2 very nice, shiny, natural! It’s a rectangle one, gold ends & borders with pink in middle as the box design. Nyx illuminating primer is good affordable , very natural, very light but adds that nice inner glow to come out as u might not like the feeling first. If u ever want to try a new base, I recommend Nyx glazed £10, u can layer it but u wont need to , think of it as a light cover, a tint, very natural, light, breathable, nice finish and easy to apply and blend in. I usually use my fingers to warm it up and pat it into my face like a sunscreen. If u want more coverage u can get Nyx bear with me, £8.50, again buildable. Makeup revolution spray £5.50, Cherie mist from the beauty crop is so nice, very fine, silk finish, adds a dewy look that’s not greasy or sweat looking £8 on TikTok might be slightly less, I recommend the melting balm they have it’s easy to take off makeup, it’s aloe Vera , unscented, and reusable container. Melting balms at first when u use it on ur eye it feels like it’s still there so jst use a damp towel to dab it away. Mask fit make up fixer £12. Rimmel lasting finish fix and go £7.48 so underrated! Don’t sleep on Mac cosmetics, Essence, Maybelline, ofc elf cosmetics too! Collection cosmetics used to be very popular but they have good quality! Makeup revolution have the best eyeshadow pallets for the ranges they have and shades a new brand called Fyne cosmetics have wonderful quality for everything, esp the highlighters! Don’t spend more than £5-£7 on lipliners & lipglosses, not worth it , u can find local makeups in local stores that acc hold better!
Do keep in mind if u do use NYX it can sometimes separate on ur face meaning it rubs off, spots or doesn’t sit right so u need to make sure the products u use before hand is more durable and works with it, I found using serums & Nivea cream works best, so I assume it’s water based makeup. When u use blush start with the lightest colours as the base and then a slightly brighter on top use a cream one first, set with baking or translucent power so it stays then top it with a powder blush or a baking blush powder. If u want to make ur eyeliner thinner, then look for Korean or Japanese eyeliners on TikTok, they’re thin and easy to use. If u find ur eyelashes not holding mascara, again go for a Korean or Japanese mascara as it might be thin, fine or too silky. Oil lip balms & oil lipglosses are popular but I don’t recommend only bcuz it moves to much and spills, so when u line ur lips it goes out of the lines making it look sometimes unclean, ofc when u do ur lips u can clean the edges to make it sharper. If u ever use red, the best way I suggest is warming it up on the back of ur hand and using ur fingers to apply on ur lips or a brush for that flirty daze effect but go for a cool tone red or dark red not Taylor swift red unless u use it as a blur and line it with a slightly darker red or a brown.
P.s never buy anything from Instagram, no matter how tempting, esp the adds lol, even if it says kiko…go to the direct website or third party sites like the beauty bay , look fantastic, cult beauty, SpaceNK, amazon (double check).

u/Street-Tailor-8009 Jul 27 '26

Def curl ur lashes and use mascara (I recommend using them on the tips of ur lashes only.)

Or if you dont get that much volume, I’d definitely recommend you try out lash clusters

u/Either-Action-7439 Jul 27 '26
Eyeliner is on fleek but id play with the shadows more. Go darker in the crease (neutral tones) and light on the lower lid and right under the brow. It'll make your eyes pop more. Agree with others on mascara.
You may also want to consider getting your brows cleaned up a little. Learning how to fill them in and clean them up is a huge game changer when it comes to makeup. That's my biggest makeup cringe when I look back on photos from 20 years ago.
Keep playing around and have fun with it! YouTube tutorials are great for trying different looks.

u/Imnotsoufle Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26
I’m going to give you some personal recommendations. I can see you like cool colors, so I’d recommend a foundation with a cool undertone to complement your lipstick (When they have different undertones, it can look odd or "compete" for attention).
You could try an eyelash curler, I’ve heard the Shiseido one is good (you can always soften the curl with a little warm water). The mascara is fine, but I’d choose the waterproof version that can be removed with a micellar biphasic makeup remover (waterproof because it keeps the curl longer and doesn't "fall out"). You could try blur-effect powder or filter-effect compact powder to make your skin look smoother.
In my opinion, you could try a lip liner, and you might feel more comfortable with a more nude lipstick; I recommend Super Lustrous in the shade Rum Raisin from revlon.

ur waaaaay better than me at makeup than when i first started out!! my advice to refine & finding ur style: waterline, contour, pluck/trim/thin out ur brows & find what brow products work for u to fit ur makeup style since it feels out of place w/ how much makeup ur putting on, try out diff styles of lip application like lip lining/ombre/etc, look into color correcting products some spots so the skin makeup overall looks even!! also would highly recommend using mini q tip if u wanna make ur wing even sharper 😌

u/MelaninMadness Jul 26 '26
So cute!! I think you could do a little experimenting with your eyebrows maybe? You can try shaping them however you like and then filling them in with a pencil? I found that experimenting with eyebrows, especially mine because they grow back sooo fast, can really set the tone for a look. Thick and angled looks great for a dark and sexy look, light and straight brows are popular with a soft and cute look, short and straight eyebrows are perfect for an alternative look, and so on.

This looks amazing! But I would look into a skin care routine that has an exfoliating effect. I would highly recommend either the Asian skin care subreddit or the skin care addiction subreddit. Only because I can see a rougher texture through your foundation- which an exfoliating routine with good moisturizer will help. But your application is great!

Are you trans? Only asking because of the features and makeup, perhaps asking a female friend to help with it will make it all blend in a bit better.

Your wings are done so well. I wouldn't ever guess you were new to makeup. You got skill! Beautifully done. 🔥

Eye makeup is amazing. A darker lip would suit you better than the bubblegum pink color— also maybe try over lining the top lip a tiny bit to round out the Cupid’s bow. Big props on how great your wings are!

You did awesome! I’ve been using make up for a few decades and still can’t do my wings as good.

I need to know how you did your wings!! You did fantastic. Just some color advice. Brown and tan colors for you eye shadow will make your eyes pop. Keep doing it you look great!

INCREDIBLE wings!!!
Eyelash curler and 2 mascaras are my go-to.
I love L’Oréal Voluminous Lash and Covergirl LashBlast.
Also, if you shape/clean up your brows a little I think that would be the icing on the cake 🤌🏼

Love the eyeliner, I'd try maybe a few different tones of lipstick to see what suits best, I feel like the lipstick is not the right shade for you but if you love it that's all that matters. Also not something you asked but the earrings are wrong for your face shape. They drag your face down. You need something less dangly or not as thin to round out your face.

The eyeliner is surprisingly clean for a beginner, great job!
I think bright lipsticks like that are a thing of the past, now the sheer coverage lip or the blurred edge ombré look is more popular, but if you like the retro look more, do whatever you think works for you.
However this type of retro lipstick does age people a bit because of the bright color and also because the style is more used by older generations, so it has an “auntie” vibe to it.
Although some elements are outdated, the technique itself is solid.

It looks really good! I think some lash clusters or even strips would go really well with the eye makeup

Damn you…. I can’t even make a wing that crisp, and I’ve been doing my makeup for over 25years lol

u/Eastern_Antelope6072 Jul 27 '26
Cute and the wing is excellent but the look is a bit outdated? Now I think people are doing a bright color over the lids with little to no eyeshadow or a thinner wing. I’d scroll ig/tiktok and find some girlies you want to emulate and see how they’re doing their makeup for inspo!

You could maybe go heavier on the mascara if you wanted but looks great the way it is
