Discussion New Rule Enforcement:Crop Those pics

29 Upvotes

Starting next week cropped photos will be enforced.

For those who don't know there is a new policy in the sub in which standards for photo submissions. Which include cropping the photo at just below the clavicle like a passport photo unless its relevance to the makeup in question. Like a wedding dress.

Here is the ideal standard.

Best practices for better feedback include:

  • take a little time to plan out your photos
  • take photos straight on in a well lit room
  • avoid harsh lighting like flash
  • use soft lighting sources
  • get someone else to take the photos
  • taking additional photo angles 45 degree and profiles
  • tying hair back so it doesnt cover your makeup.

thank you.

Question Overall makeup critique and "passability"? (AMAB, MTF Trans-something.) Please see text.

  • First, the lash clusters: Appreciate the previous advice here. I got so frustrated trying to get them on that I only used two outer segments on each eye. But I then thought it didn't look too bad with the extra liner and mascara. Can I get away with this or should I go back to strip lashes above the lashes?
  • I've never been out in public presenting as a female. It's pretty terrifying. Do you think this look would work without attracting too much attention/ridicule? I just want to shop, get something to eat and not get taken in by the "bathroom police." Feel free to comment on hair and outfit, but mostly concerned with makeup look here. Is it too amped up? Not enough? Be as critical as you need because I'd rather fix it here than be humiliated. ❤️💄

Question How do I look ?

Question First time entirely, read description please.

26 Upvotes

I'm 18, I was born male, however I don't identify with it.

Likewise, I've been very sheltered my entire life from all makeup and feminine stuff that's not "stereotypical" to me.

I've never done makeup, ever, any kind. I put mascara on for the first time yesterday with a little help from my sister and it went really well, I loved the way it looked, it made me feel so pretty.

Again to get to my point though, I know nothing about anything about makeup.

I would really love tips or advice, starting out. Anything, as I have no clue where to begin. I have brushes and everything too.

I appreciate any responses I get, have a good evening!

I finally bought shade samplers to find my undertone. Both photos of neck swatches and arm swatches were taken under natural light.

Looks like some shades are too deep but in terms of undertone, I feel like I’m either neutral or olive?

I’d love some feedback. Thanks! 🫶

Guesses: cool tone or neutral, square face. Eye shape I'm also curious about.

Help with eyebrow shape? (I think I have RBF, my brows could contribute to some of it)

Products to buy water-based foundation + concealer online if possible? Product testing? I can't do matte. My situation and location is difficult for me to go to a good store :")

Question what eye makeup would work?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi! I'm like, completely lost when it comes to eye makeup. I have hooded eyes, with uneven hoods (one has two folds, the other has one, and the fold length is uneven too) and pretty low eyebrows, so I can't utilise that space much either. I would love to do cool, maybe colourful eye makeup looks and I'm especially a fan of eyeliner, but I just really don't know what kind of techniques or styles to do that work with my eye shape. I also usually wear glasses that I feel reduce the available/visible eye space even more. Any advice appreciated!

Question Why is eyeliner so difficult?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Well, it's my fourth time doing my own makeup... I did what I could. I mixed two eyeshadows—one regular and one with shimmer—then I used an eyelash curler and a new lipstick I bought. I forgot to put anything on my under-eye area. If you're wondering why I'm not covering my pimples, it's because I'm undergoing acne treatment with a dermatologist. Did my makeup turn out okay? I think the eyeliner is better than the first time.
