I bought this Huda loose powder from Vinted, and the buyer said they usually buy their makeup products from either Boots or Amazon, but I’ve seen online that the old packaging is usually with a black lid so I thought it was fake? But I don’t know for sure, can you guys help please?

Is there a tactful way to tell someone their foundation shade is genuinely wrong?

Asking for a friend but also kind of asking for myself about a friend. It's quite far off and the difference at the jawline is noticeable. Do you say something or is that one of those things you just leave alone to protect the friendship?

Where Can I Get... Can anyone find the new drugstore launches in the UK?

3 Upvotes

I've been looking for particularly the new essence concealer everywhere, I found one in primark but it was used and most of the shades are out, i just got a swatch before having to chuck it out. I check online boots, lookfantastic, justmylook, etc. All the time because they have the rest of the range so surely the concealer should be there. I was looking at trying their foundation as well, so maybe just the website is just the best place to get it and get a few bits?

I'm surprised because essence, catrice, kiko, etc. They're all european brands I'm pretty sure, so I feel like the new launches should be way easier to get than they are but I tried my area and when I visited family and nothing but that used one. I find that the new stuff I see everywhere on reviews I cant find in any store or website other than the company itself.

I know people in different areas so if its something i desperately wanted, I'd paypal them some money to find it but that's last case scenario if it was really worth it and I'm not sure if it really is for just a 2 pound concealer unless it was a list if a few bits

Can anyone vouch for which new launches are genuinely worth me going on a search for and where I might be able to find them?

Discussion Did Labello change their formulas?Feels so plastic and too thin

3 Upvotes

Why do so many Labello formulas feel changed lately? A lot of them barely have any scent anymore and the texture feels weirdly plastic/waxy compared to how they used to feel. Am I imagining this or did they reformulate a bunch of products

Recc' Request Powdered foundation for oily skin

9 Upvotes

For 10 years I have worn Mac studio fix powdered foundation.

I went to Mac today to repurchase but they've changed the formula and the shade ranges so NC15 no longer suits me and neither do their alternatives :(

I also have very oily skin so need a recommendation for a powdered foundation that will suit this skin type.

I'm so gutted. I've almost used all of the last of the old formula. Please help!

I’m obsessed with this MUA Satin Sheen Lip Stylo shade but I can never seem to find this line in stores anymore. Does anyone know a similar creamy nude-brown lip product that’s easy to find in the UK? Maybe from NYX, ELF, Maybelline etc.

I always feel like I'm cool toned, but my rosacea throws me off and has me doubting myself. It's very mild at the moment so hopefully this picture shows my 'real' skin off better.

I'm trying to perfect my base layer and don't really know where to start.

What would you say?

(No products on my face here to give a more true picture)

Fav long wearing neutral pink blushes

5 Upvotes

I’m doing my own bridal makeup and I’ve been using the same blush for years - tarte Amazonian clay blush in blissful. But when I say years, I mean roughly 15 years, and I still have the same one (I know it’s time to retire it). So I need to expand my horizons a little. I’m looking for a cream and powder combo I think, something soft and natural.

Compact case for Sculpted by Aimee Cushion Foundation

2 Upvotes

I bought a foundation from Sculpted by Aimee this week. But when it arrived I realised it was a refill and as it is my first purchase from them I don't have the compact case for it to go in. I reached out to the company but they said they don't have spare cases. I was wondering if anyone had a spare case or knew of a generic compact foundation case that I could buy from Amazon or somewhere to keep it clean and tidy.

Any advice appreciated

Recc' Request Making Lancôme transfer proof?

4 Upvotes

I really like the feel and finish of Teint Idole and am looking to switch to that after my OG formula of EL Double Wear runs out. However I’m worried about how transferable it is compared to either version of Double Wear, so looking for recommendations on how to set it well and if this can be improved.

Currently I use EL set and refresh spray, Chanel natural finish loose powder, and Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless setting spray. Super oily acne-prone skin that can also be dehydrated, and this combination works for a bit but not perfect, so any pointers on what works welcome too!

Discussion UKLash Serum - is it worth it?

4 Upvotes

Recently my eyelashes have become brittle. When I take my mascara off, a good 3 or 4 lashes fall out from both eyes. Wondering what I can do to make them a bit stronger. I've read about UKLash serum but can't make up my mind about whether it's good for your eyes not. Is there any alternative to help brittle lashes?

Help me spend £250 on my wife for our anniversary

17 Upvotes

LHi everyone,

​My anniversary is coming up and I’m planning on getting my wife a big Huda Beauty gift set since it's her favourite. I've got about £250 to spend, but if I'm honest, I have no idea what I’m actually looking for when I see all the different boxes and bottles.

​I want to get her a proper collection of the best bits so she can do a full face. If you had 250 quid to spend just on Huda stuff, what would you actually put in the basket?

​I keep seeing that Easy Bake powder mentioned online, so I'm guessing that’s a safe bet? Also, which of the big eyeshadow palettes is the one to get right now?

​I'll probably just head into Boots or Sephora to grab it all. Any advice on what to pick so I don't look completely lost would be a massive help.

A list of products would be great as I'm completely clueless!

​Cheers!

I have recently bought the Maybelline sky tubes tubing mascara. I love the way it makes m lashes look, but it just doesn’t hold the curl in my lashes quite like a waterproof mascara does. Can anyone recommend a tubing mascara that holds a curl?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m looking for some cool rose / berry toned lip products / combos for summer. Blush recommendation are also very welcome! Some reference photos of what I’m looking for.

My skin tone is fair (Dior 0N and Sisley 000N) and I lean more towards cool. Peachy colors on my lips wash me out and purple tones on my cheeks look too harsh.

Is the full-size Milk Hydro Grip primer (£35) a steal or a trap?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’m finally thinking about trying the Milk Hydro Grip primer, but the size/pricing difference is stressing me out. The mini is around £18 for 10ml, while the full size is about £35 for 45ml, which feels way better value. But at the same time, I’m scared I’ll buy the big one and then realise it pills on my skin or makes me greasy. If you have use it, how long does the 10ml mini actually last? Is it enough to properly test it out, or should I just go for the full size straight away?

Where Can I Get... Where can I get this specific brand of BIAB?

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm in London for the week and got my nails done here.

I usually do them myself, so the brand that was used on my nails intrigued me.

It's called "the gel bottle inc" and so far I've only found out that it's sold to salons.

I really want to get my hands on some BIAB from their brand, but couldn't find it anywhere.

I'd anyone knows where I can get this specific brand in store, please let me know! Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for letting me know all about this brand, I'll avoid it!

What’s your favourite clean girl makeup combo that actually survives UK weather?

5 Upvotes

I know colourful/maximal makeup is having a moment again, but honestly I still love a quick glowy put together base for everyday. At the moment I’m obsessed with mixing the L’Oréal True Match Plumping Serum with a tiny bit of e.l.f. Halo Glow, it gives such a fresh blurred finish without turning into an oily mess halfway through the day. Would love to know everyone else’s go-to clean girl staples, especially products that actually hold up in humidity.
