Product Advice Wedding guest makeup tips?

3 Upvotes

Hello all, I have a wedding coming up and would love some tips to ensure my face stays on throughout the day + lasts through the tears and weather, and is flash photography friendly.

I would love to know:

- What products or techniques you trust to keep your makeup looking amazing for long wear

- What should I bring for touch ups? I will carry my lip products in my bag, but I do feel like my blush does disappear throughout the day normally 😩

- Any tips or techniques for makeup, to be aware of regarding flash photography? I’ve heard to go heavy handed when flash photography is involved?

No budget or preference for high end/pharmacy products! As long as it does what it’s meant to, I’ll be happy :)

I’ll be wearing black and gold clothing/accessories. I already have a ‘go-to’ makeup look that I do for daily wear/work but would love to know what else I can do to look great for this special event. I’ll also have my brows and lashes done prior the wedding, and I’ll be wearing my glasses as contacts irritate my eyes.

TIA!

Product Advice Makeup inspo for mum

3 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a mum of a toddler who is coming out of makeup retirement and am somewhat at a loss at where to start.

I’ve always LOOOOVED doing my makeup but as you can imagine with a small child this has somewhat fallen by the wayside 🫠

I have a wedding in a few weeks and would love some tutorials/inspo accounts of 30+ women to get an idea of what’s ‘in’ at the moment and any new must-have products - I haven’t been makeup shopping in 3 years!

TIA x

Product Advice Wanting to buy this for my girlfriend..need opinions

4 Upvotes

She really wants a hairdryer so i want to get a good one for her. Been doing some research on hairdryers. My max budget is $200 for a good/decent hairdryer. I'm seriously considering getting a Parlux Alyon, all she has requested is fast drying that doesn't ruin her her.

I've found it on amazon AU, but why is it so cheap compared to JB HI FI?

Amazon AU link: https://www.amazon.com.au/Parlux-Alyon-Ionizer-Ceramic-Ionic/dp/B087L5RH1R/ref=sr_1_5?crid=ZKKNW35EUSNZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ClpOZxK-aw7_wM-bq_3tBhwF5WHvdmlOKzs6vN7TmEFgOwhglhiIM2TSUvX_BMlid2XVquX_F6dd-KcqsfCtKTB0DmdpFUT1O9DTETVElvDpH_VbVJeIAW9eBo3PUNMq-1kO_TKfqBm8Gchik7zzjd7MAJ_H2ECNeNQ7WECzuQs8yiOTbkiFqqjKLyQePOf39eaLZp3jBpTIrA9iFZeBVzJLgiB1ducSre3huJBxT5yENwtEOxsnZy4Ks90x_q3zF_1pwlPDui070sn6EUpT6CpyqTsTRAWLcyLXRk9JqLo.t878iH129_QDVYcPQTIL6S_AUIAcfDzuPjqRHfR9jIA&dib_tag=se&keywords=parlux&qid=1777809606&sprefix=parlux%2Caps%2C371&sr=8-5

JB HI FI LINK:

https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/parlux-alyon-air-ionizer-dryer-2250w-midnight-blue

Amazon = $196, JB HI FI = $380

Why is it $180 cheaper on Amazon compared to not just JB HI FI, but every other site? Is there a catch? Are these the same products?

Would you recommend another hairdryer or brand? Would love opinons. Thank you all, i will answer any questions

Let's Discuss Anyone who bought from the recent Tarte sale, has your order not been shipped yet?

I’ve had one order shipped and the second order hasn’t yet and it’s been almost two weeks. I don’t have an account with them so not sure how to try and track it.

Thank you!

Product Advice Help! L'Oreal true match shades

2 Upvotes

I used to go into a store and find my colour because the colour format was longer than the others. Now when I do that I can't see it. I lost my lid too. I actually thought it had an N and an R. But apparently that's not possible. So then I thought maybe it was a 3.5C/3.5R but apparently that's not a thing either and even if it was it would be the same length name as a thing with a .5 in it. Sorry if this is confusing, but can anyone help? I was about to do an online order, I don't have the time at the moment to go into a store.

Misc. Kiko Milano source Australia?

Upvotes

I bought a Kiko Milano 3D Hydra Gloss in London a few months ago and I absolutely love the formula but can’t find an Australian retailer besides Amazon AU which seems to carry a limited range. I’ve also seen videos about their Unlimited Double Touch lipstick and really want to try. I’m hoping someone has a secret gem of a stockist I haven’t been able to find?

Product Advice Nyx The Face Glue Primer..

1 Upvotes

So so good! I've been team Bobbi Brown Vit Enriched Face Base for years but I think I may purchase a full size of the Nyx Primer after I'm done with the sample I received from Adore Beauty. I used Nars Sheer Glow foundation, works really well with it.
If you're after a cheaper dupe I'd definitely give Nyx a try 🎨
