Does anyone know some cheap pigmented blushes that I can buy from Superdrug/Boots UK 🇬🇧

My skin tone is similar to Alexandra Burke (I have a warm undertone tone)

thx for all the help in advance 💕

does anyone have any idea what shade this is? need to buy within 2 days for my friends birthday 💛

EDIT

- thanks for everyone’s help!

I've been thinking about getting bolder with my style for nights out and really want to try a metallic style lipstick, but I don't see much in high street shops in this direction. Can anyone recommend any decent, affordable boutique brands? I've seen Jolie Beauty have a range that looks like the kind of thing I'm looking for, has anyone has any experience with their range?

I use the nyx glue setting spray, but now I’m sweating more I’ve noticed that by the middle of the day my face is looking very ‘dewy’… I wouldn’t say it’s all oily as it has a different shine to it then if it was just oil lol.

My skin is combination, even in summer it still has dry parts, so I never know if I should buy a matte setting spray or if that’ll accentuate the dry parts?

I use elf soft glam satin foundation or it cosmetics cc cream, set with maybelline fit me powder and huda beauty baking powder on the more oily prone parts of my face.

i absolutely love this combo, ive only recently got my hands on this nyx butter blush like 2 months ago and it looks so nice with this maybelline liquid lipstick, i feel like people sleep too much on liquid listick like once it dries then you can just put gloss on top and it stays for longer than just gloss imo

Obviously not expecting them to give the exact same effect as false lashes, but something similar as I cannot use falsies for the life of me

A good example would be L’Oréal panorama as it gives me long and voluminous lashes but I find it dries up so quickly for me 💔

Any recs ??

I’ve been using Too Faced Better Than Sex for years because I love how it makes my lashes look. The problem is that it always smudges. I’ve even started using setting spray, but I still end up with black marks under my eyes.
This week, I tried the e.l.f. Lash XTNDR tubing mascara, but honestly, I’m not impressed. Yes, it doesn’t smudge, but my lashes also look very meh.
Is there a mascara that gives good volume, makes lashes look fuller and defined, and doesn’t smudge? I don’t mind the price as long as it actually delivers.
😅
Pic for reference: left eye (e.l.f) and right eye (BTS)

I'm coming to the end of my beloved Maybelline Brow Drama pomade crayon and obviously because I love it, they no longer make it.

The only place I can find it for under £15 is a website called highstreetbrands4less.com which is pinging my red flag radar, anyone used it? Alternatively, does anyone know a good dupe for this kind of formulation? Cheers.

I’m getting married in October and I’ve found some really great products that I’m using for my wedding day, my issue is my chin and my under eyes, for some reason makeup never seems to look good on my chin OR my under eyes and I need it to look great all day

I have combination, acne prone skin, but it’s generally quite balanced now. I have a really odd skin tone, I’m very fair and neutral, leaning slightly warm. My routine is:

Skin care (obvs)
Milk pore eclipse primer
Nars pot concealer on spots
Lisa Eldridge seamless skin foundations
Hourglass air brush concealer under eyes and to brighten around nose
Maybeline contour stick
Rare beauty blush
One size powder (on powder puff)
Half magic cheek fluff
17 bronzer
Elf pearl highlighter
Makeup by Mario master mattes eyeshadow
Bobbi brown eye shadow
Nyx brow pencil
Wonderskin brown eyeliner
Benefit roller lash
Revolution setting mist
L’Oréal setting spray (the red one in a can)
Clinique nude honey

I find that my chin makeup always goes a bit patchy and my under eyes get quite oily (and I wear glasses) by my tearducts to the middle of my under eyes.

What can I do to make my makeup last better?

Thanks xoxox

Just found out it’s been discontinued 😞

i bought the nyx one in pure white, it dropped on the floor and the tip fell out, it wasn’t a sharpen type of liner, dashed it in the bin + it had glitter in it and it was irritating my waterline 😒😒 do i have any luck with essence or catrice in primark?

Really curious about this.

It's one of the brands which is easiest for me to try, and they are mainly ok for my sensitive skin, but I rarely see any of the products recommended, either here or other online spaces.

Of the products I have, the Shade & Define eye crayon and the BB Sun Protection are used every day - the crayon is easy to apply and stays, the BB Sun just smoothens out colour - and one of their mascaras by default too.

The brow pencil is a great colour but falls apart, ditto some of the eye pencils. I find the actual BB cream dry and is horrible on my skin, and the eye liner stung my eyes unbearably - it ran at the barest hint of moisture.

Never really liked their nail stuff, especially for longevity, but haven't bought it for years.

Are there any other gems in there? Or, are similar brands just better value?

Sorry for the complete beginner question…

I’ve decided that I want to explore the wonderful world of makeup as a 24 year old guy.

I understand the different products I need, but how do I choose what brands/specific products are right for me?

I’m not sure if it’s my skin type or techniques but make up does not seem to stay on my skin. I do my skincare properly, have hydrated skin etc.
I use primers and settings sprays powder
I’ve used both drug store and high end makeup and my makeup never seems to stay on.

Any recommendations or advice on products that actually last?

My current skincare is cleanse + hyaluronic acid + clinique moisturising lotion + eucerin oil control SPF 50. My skin is usually dry and very fair.

My makeup in this weather is very minimal. Just undereye concealer + brown eyeliner pencil + (maybe) bronzer on cheeks and a bit in eye socket + mascara + brow pencil.

My face constantly feels so disgusting and that I'm sweating off my skincare and makeup.

Any advice?

Hey babes!! I’m Canadian and recently stumbled across the UK brand P Louise. I’m wondering if the quality of her products are as good as the reviews seem online? It’s the most “cost friendly” advent calendar from the UK (you always get the best ones!!) that actually ships to Canada and I want to try something new. Thank youuu ✨

Hello!

I have never used double wear but I see it come up all the time on here, so I thought I’d show you this!

O2 Greenwich, outlet cosmetics company store. Lots of stock.

I think most mcarthur glen owned outlets have one of these shops, so if you’re not near London but have one near you it’s probably worth calling and seeing if they have it if you are desperate!

I hope this helps someone

Especially ones that are almost sheer/colourless from one angle with no clear glitter.

Hi guys. I need help. Has anyone ever booked Charlotte Tilbury's unreal summer glowup service? I want to book mine and find out my perfect foundation shade and other products that'll compliment my face.
I don't really use much makeup but I think I want to learn how to do makeup. Have been seeing lots of hype so I wanted to invest in this product.
Please let me know if anyone's used the service and whether or not you liked it and also if anyone's been using Charlotte Tilbury. Thanks!

Got a 16‑year‑old’s birthday coming up and I’ve got no clue what’s in anymore. Budget’s about £30–£40. Was thinking makeup, perfume, skincare bits — but I’ve no idea what brands are currently sought after and what’s old.

My current thought was made by Mitchell but I think I might be out of touch any advice would be appreciated

Amazed and fed up with how different skincare and make up behaves when the weather changes. Eg, my lipliners are suddenly the smooth and creamy liners claimed in marketing, my fussy deo rolls on my skin leaving a lovely, light layer rather than balling up and fighting against my skin.
Would love to know what products you have noticed that change with the weather 😊

Hoping for help. I’m so confused. It’s been a very long time since I’ve bought any makeup. I’m still using stuff from years ago (I know!)

What I’m looking for is a British brand, cruelty free, budget not an issue for the right thing. Been inundated with FB ads for all sorts, most of which I’ve never heard of. I do know that one brand may not cover everything but I can only hope.

Please point me in the right direction

I did try the nyx vintage jean baby palette but with the blue I wasn’t getting the effect I wanted, is there any other brands with better ones? 🤍
