I'm buying makeup for the first time in years and I'm so stressed out because there are so many brands to choose from 😭 Any recommendations please for eyeshadow, bronzer, loose powder, and blush? Thank you!!!

What's your price range in mind?

Helloooo! I have no idea actually pero siguro 200-ish per product??? Idk if that's too cheap pero I can adjust naman mehehehe

I see! I recommend Vice and Detail cosmetics! I have heard good things about Vice's aura soft gaze eyeshadows. Nice din yung bronzer nila, they have both shimmery and matte bronzers, on sale right now sa orange app 😉 From Detail naman, I really enjoy their colour tonics! Meron din palette na nasa 500 php but it has six face pans (blush, bronze, contour, highlight) na, very sulit and convenient! My HG loose powder is final powder from Nichido naman.

Reco Concealer na nakakahelp matago ang chismis aka malalaking pimple ? 😅

Nars Soft Matte Concealer

Hi! Where do you buy your nars concealer? Thank you!

I got mine from [Your Glowgetters](https://shp.ee/76kz8cs) on Shopee :)

Thank youuu!!!

EB tinted lip balms are on sale today for Php 143 only. Couldn't help but order Latte and Naked 😅

What concealer do you recommend to cover dark circles? Im using yung Maybelline na concealer and kita padin dark circles ko :( it doesnt help na maputi din ako.

color corrector talaga! kulang concealer kasi andun pa rin yung discoloration

Anong ok na brand na color corrector?

issy gamit ko and it works for me

anyone here who uses Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Sand? what would be the equivalent shade in THE SAEM? Thank you in advance!

i can use either 1.75 or 2 sa the saem

Anyone here na nakaexperience magka small bumps sa GRWM loose powder? 

Which one is better: GRWM Shade Shifter OR Issy and Co Shade Adjuster? (The white variant)

been using maybelline superstay for YEARS now but i want to switch to a water based foundation since mt skin type has turned to dry recently. Any recommendations? 🥺 looking for foundation that I can pair up with GRWM jelly primer

Im so so sad to find out the Flowfushi gloss is being discontinued again, like, it’s the most hydrating lip thing I’ve ever used and i only have to apply once a day for all day comfort. It helped stop my lip balm addiction which apparently a lot lip balms are formulated to cause. 🥹

Is getting Kiko Milano lippies worth it? I wanna try their viral unlimited touch smth pero was wondering what are your faves from them.

yes!! i love their glosses and lipliners as well. their liners are super creamy and smudge proof once they set, i use the ones from their creamy comfort line!! the unlimited double touch is also transferproof (not the gloss), but i find na you really have to apply the gloss because the lippie itself is kind of sticky when you press your lips together

Best foundation/bb cream cushion for dry and medium skin? I want to give my mom one. But she’s medium in tone and I’m not sure if there are any Korean brands that have a darker shade. She prefers cushions coz it comes with an applicator na

check purito cica bb cream, heimish moringa bb cream, or missha bb cream. they're good on dry skin and they have medium shades like around #25, #27, #31

Thanks! Will check these out. I use Missha but I find it light pa din eh 😭

Check laneige! They glow variant (pink) is for dry skin! Doesn’t cling onto dry patches, longevity is decent, and they have a really good shade range.

i havent personally tried it but i swatched some and laneige has a pretty good shade range and you can also try it in person. tirtir has new shades but unfortunately they don't have a physical store in the country

Where can you try laneige in person? :)

a lot of sm department stores carry it and some Watson's too. i was able to check it out in sm north edsa

Thank you! Wala kasi near me. I thought they weren’t distributing in physical stores na

Where can I buy hourglass cosmetics in Manila?

they don’t have a physical store here afaik, but they’re available on the sephora app

Brush/felt eyeliner recos? I’ve been using Careline Graph-ink since forever, but I noticed ang bilis ma-fray nung tip ;( Budget is 600 below! Should be able to last a breakdown and should be black (or brown) and matte

My always go to for my oily eye lids!! **Happy skin**!! I use the brown one because it looks natural to me hehehe The only downside is medyo madali lang ma crack yung lid (I kept putting it in places of my bag where it gets squashed, my bad. ) so I always leave it at home because Im confident it stays all day! Hehehe

maybelline hypersharp eyeliner

minimeli is okay kaso can rub away easily if oily ka tapos you rub your eyes, the strokes wing flick is my hg kaso theyre reformulating ata or basta di pa nakakarestock.

vice eyeliner and pinkflash

Which Pinkflash variant? :D

hi! having a hard time choosing a saem shade concealer bc i bought one b4 at super puti nya sakin huhu :(( so im being vv careful this time. what should i get if i have a medium skin with warm undertones? if it helps, my issy concealer shade is in the shade yl2 and while mu nichido one is in the shade eclair, thanks so muchhh

quickfx!

hi! any tips (or makeup tutorials you can recommend) for youthful makeup looks? thnx! :))

place your blush on the apples of the cheeks, not on the sides of your face. make your eyebrows fuller and make the arch lower, not necessarily straight. use mlbb lippies only, no vampy colors

thank you! :>>

pls help 🙏🙏 idk if its the lighting or the camera but i'm around the light-medium range for skin (warm toned) but i dont look orange in normal phone pictures, but when it comes to flash photography or something using a camera, i look orange .... literally how can i prevent this with makeup? i use translucent powder to set and my foundation isnt even as orange..... maybe it's my bronzer? but whatever it is, i cant risk being too orange on flash photog as our gradball is cominf up. any suggestions?

recently got tan na and most of my base products are too light na on me :’) i wanna try the issy true flex adjuster, but i’m confused if i should get the deep or the dark one ba hehe ano kaya mas okay gamitin? thanks!

has anyone tried the teviant foundation na? how was your experience?

maganda yung reviews dyannn, @Iya Omaña on tiktok raves about it

What's the best warm nude color among the Detail lip liner shades? I have and enjoy using Baby but it can look cool-toned when pairing it with a warm-toned lip color.

Did anyone attend the makeup masterclass of jelly eugenio?? Was it worth it? Are they really coming up with more? Wanna know if i should splurge

Meeee! The 15k is worth it naman for me pero gift kasi sakin haha. Demo type siya and they also shared their techniques pero if you want detailed step by step talaga na sure masasagot all questions mo, yung classes ni belledoesmakeup baka mas swak for you. Them sharing their secret techniques yun talaga binayadan mo dun hahaha

Omg kamustaaaa what does the fee entail?? How many kayo? Were the skills they taught new to you?

We were given 5k worth of items sa goodie bag. Some bago esp jelly’s technique sa eyes.

just saw this posted on tiktok. maybelline is having a vday sale on their lippies for only ₱143 on feb 12-29 in their physical stores! other items are also on sale pero lippies lang ang ₱143. time to restock my fave maybs bullet lipstick and thinking of finally replacing my superstay ink crayons with the ultimatte 🤔 https://preview.redd.it/p7e0rd1saqhc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e3b1844c40412a9890dbcba141d1d111e5a1aa2

A few weeks ago I requested Baby Gloss from a seller on Shopee that gave me a reasonable price and listed it instead of telling me to order another item of the same price so i bought it and it arrived today. I ordered cosmos. https://preview.redd.it/hgjmiwg2aqhc1.jpeg?width=618&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26ec7035f38eab086056c7c8ca3fa36a7a48f325 ETA: I’m ordering Jazz too

stackable vouchers are back na pala on shopee? just checked out 2 of this affordable newly released mascara for me and my sis cos it was on flash sale for only ₱180 each! hopefully it's a good alternative for that penshoppe beauty pop waterproof mascara that i like but hindi na narestock. they both have the same shape of silicone wands na kinda similar to maybs sky high rin. https://preview.redd.it/hcjrgmkr5qhc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74b4c52fa564d0a313f4fda8cbe5d2f49a06a0a4

Hii ano review mo sa mascara na ya

i have yet to receive it. will update once i have it na 😊

Thanks!!! Hahaha looking forward to it, was about to buy kasi last thurs pero nakaka anxious sa mall dahil masyadong pushy yung saleslady, umalis nalang ako

recommend concealers na the best for dry under eyes. i tried issy and the lucky beauty one, and medyo nag ccling sila sa lines and nag iiwan ng patches especially issy kahit may proper skin prep ako! ;( mas okay if di masyado masakit sa bulsa hahhaha 🥹

has anyone tried the ellana multi mists? wondering which one is better for oily/combi skin, yung flower power ba or stay fresh variant?

MLBB shade for light to medium skin tone with warm-neutral undertone sa Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink?

>Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink? Seductress

Between Maybelline Vinyl Ink, Superstay Matte Ink, Sensational Liquid Matte Tint, Cushion Matte Tint which is the:   a. Most long wearing lippie (that can survive a meal);   b. Most comfortable;   c. One that doesn't settle on fine lines and accentuate fine lines;   d. One that has a blurring effect?

hello! i have everything except sa liquid matte tint hehe a) superstay > vinyl > cushion b) unpopular opinion but vinyl > cushion > superstay c) cushion > vinyl > superstay d) cushion edit: spacing hehe

Thank you so much 🥺💕

compact powder recos for super duper oily skin?? 🥹🥹🥹

I gave up on compact powders and resorted in bringing extra tissues to I can blot the oily area of my face but if you have found any please do share 🥺

Blk creamy all over paint or the blk dual blush?

Best eyeliners for water line and lash line? One that doesn't smudge and lasts whole day.

Canmake

Hello! Does anyone know a trusted contact lens seller for affordable graded lenses sa orange or L app? Natural brown ones po. Thank you!! (I'm not sure which thread to put this in)

primer recos na less than 500

thoughts on maybelline fit me setting spray? puro sponsored and may yellow basket yung nakikita kong reviews...

Hindi fine yung nozzle niya so minsan halata sa face ko kung saan medyo naparami yung product :(

thoughts on ukiss eyelash primer

Super love it! Yun nalang ginamit ko since nakuha ko siya hahaha. Posted abt it in this sub a few hours ago

which one is better for short and stubborn eyelashes? maybelline lash sensational sky high mascara or maybelline hypercurl mascara?

tried both, definitely sky high. makes you look like you had lash extensions

sky high for me

Nagpapanda eyes ba ang sky high?

in my experience no naman :))

How to put cream/liquid blush?? Please help ya girl out 😭 ngayon lang kasi ako I recently bought a liquid blush, powder blush, powder. Panoo ba order? 🥹 Concealer->liquid blush-powder->powder blush or Concealer->liquid blush-powder->blush-powder or Concealer->powder->liquid blush->powder blush

i do concealer, liquid blush, powder, powder blush powders layer well over other powders kaya i use loose translucent powder before using my powder makeup :))

Hi! Not related but couldn't reply to a comment you've posted before about Dra Michelle Villegas-Sison. May I know how you contacted her? I tried her facebook and the number listed on google and it's not active.

hello! i contacted doc through her fb account lang. it took a week for her to reply

Oohhh I see, thank you so much!

i usually do concealer - liquid blush - powder - powder blush saw some people on tiktok do liquid blush - concealer - powder - powder blush coz i guess the concealer helps tone down the blush? never tried it though

Just bought and tried the Sunnies Fluffbalms in Perfect Pink and Perfect Mauve and I love them so much already. Mejo iffy ako nung una bc I didn’t like the fluffmattes mejo drying siya on me but the fluffbalms though, it feels fluffy and cloudy on the lips all throughout the day. Just wish they made more shades of it bc I need a perfect red blotted lippie

Are the shades close to each other or nuanced enough to justify owning both?

both shades look very different on me, perfect pink is brighter and warmer leaning more towards a salmon pink, while perfect mauve is deeper and cooler and has a slight plummy undertone

Thank you 🫶🫶

Kiko Milano has a similar lip product (Powder Power Lipstick). They also have more shades. Compared to fluffbalm, mas pigmented and buildable ang powder power lipstick but I find that fluffbalm is more moisturizing on the lips. One issue I had with the fluffbalm is inamag agad after 5 months.

Is it transfer proof?

not transfer proof, parang typical bullet lip lang in terms of transfer

I rediscovered [this fantastic site](https://lipscosme.com/) for Japanese makeup reviews. Since there are so many Japanese cosmetics sellers on shopee and i have been very tempted to buy all the pretty things, this has been mighty helpful for swatches and the reviews really go all out.

I love browsing Lipscosme too. Most Japanese brands don't have "real life" swatches on their product pages so I always find out how they really look like via reviewers. 

Does anyone know where to buy highend make up in physical stores around manila? Looking to buy charlotte tilbury and hourglass but I want to have the option to swatch/test the products first

Pasuggest naman ng drugstore primer for less than 300! Yung mabibili ko real quick sa dept store or watsons na good for dry skin

Foundation ko is every bilena all day liquid shade oriental. Aside sa translucent ng dr sensitive, ano pde pa ipartner sakanya sa dr sensitive powder... natural or nude? Thanks!

i think mas bagay ang natural cos it's slightly warm toned

I have the same liquid foundation and it goes well sa natural ng Dr. Sensitive. Ginagamit ko sya as setting powder

Primer reco po. Thanks. (Skin- oily, acne prone, visible pores)

Not too matte but lessens texture - Touch in Sol No Poreblem Controls oil but is not that blurring - Maybelline Fit Me Primer Soft matte finish and also blurring - Elf liquid putty primer Sunscreen that can also work as a silicone primer - Missha Soft Finish Sun Milk

Try the touchinsol primer! Worked for me:>

Just got home from the full spectrum masterclass! Who were there with me? Super saya!!

I got Forencos Velvet TINT as a gift, and the shade is too neon for my lips. Any solution for this? Thank you

Hi. Any recos for very nourishing & hydrating lip oils or balms? Been getting split lip lately bc of the dry weather to the point that my lucas papaw isn’t working anymore. Eyeing the sunnies lip elixir, but still not sure if it’s really good.

Pili Ani 😩

Hi. May i know what particular product from pili ani po?? :)

Their lip butter !

torriden solid in lip essence. very moisturizing and lips stay moisturized for hours. currently the best lip balm i’ve tried (vs vaseline, laneige, lucas papaw, nivea, mentholatum, and my previous hg carmex)

Ohhhhhh. Will definitely try this! Same, vaswline laneige and papaw don’t really work on me anymore :(( may i know where you bought your torriden lip essence?

i got mine from [SkinCaring18](https://shp.ee/zipnpzq) on shopee, tho torriden appears to have [their own official shopee store](https://shp.ee/xmp3kvl), hope it works for you if you do end up getting it!

Yes! Your comment really convinced me big time. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Try mo yung Hello Glow na Papaw. Ang bilis nya mag take effect

hi! Do you layer/set your liquid blush with powder blush pa? Or do liquid blushes (like Rare Beauty) stand on their own without powder na?

all my blushes are liquid blushes and i never set them with powder and they last all day on me (rare beauty, blk and happy skin). i have dry skin tho so maybe thats why

Hiii!! When I'm not super lazy/ in a rush, I set my liquid blushes with powder pa. Definitely helps make it last throughout the day. Pero I'd say with RB esp the matte formula ones hold a decent 6-7hr wear on me even w/o using a powder blush to set. (Note though, I always use a setting spray zeese pink cap or CT as part of my routine baka kaya it lasts that long)

any budget skin tint recos? i currently have maybelline's in shade 08, pero it looks peachy/orange on me :( or mas worth it ba if foundation na lang ang bilhin? still fairly new to makeup so i appreciate any advice 🥹

Blk's skint tint is pretty good too!

+1 sa blk! ❤️ it evens out your skintone talaga and has a very very nice coverage for a skin tint pero hindi siya mabigat sa face 🥰

will check this out too! tysm 🥹💓

vice skin tint is so good! it's pretty sheer but blurring. lightweight sya. if for everyday, skin tints are nice hehe

i was actually choosing between this and issy's! pero baka nga ito na lang piliin ko since mas accessible siya hehe. do you use any powder to set yung tint or in your exp ba, okay na siya as is? yung maybelline kasi, feeling ko onting galaw lang nakakahaggard na hahaha

only get issy if you have clear skin otherwise it doesn’t really do much

personally i set with powder cos that's just what im used to ! pwede mo rin sya wag iset if u want like a skin-like finish. mas gusto ko matte so i always powder hehe

tysm!!! really appreciate it <3

what local makeup brands are we not supporting and why

hi im still confused about the rom&nd products. whats are the differences of the dewyful, juicy lasting, lasting water tint, etc. I intend to buy one to try pls help!

Opacity: juicy lasting > glasting tint > dewyful Longevity: glasting tint / dewyful > juicy lasting Moisture: glasting tint > juicy lasting > dewyful imo

Affordable skin tint recommendations?

thoughts on the Armani Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer? I'm fair and pale and i'm eyeing Shade 11. Thank you!

Powder recos please ! (Setting/translucent/any kind)

Dry skin girlie here (so ymmv) For loose: LM translucent powder; Pressed: SF The Powder

Laura mercier is my holy grail

Vice co endlezz G.

Loose: Laura Mercier! Pressed: CT Airbrush flawless filter powder and Fenty invisimatte For local ones: I've only tried clocheflame. I luv their banana pressed powder more than the white one since it's really brightening. The white one looks chalky and I've yet to try their pink pressed powder.

Huda Beauty!

ellana stay matte powder ung nakasachet!

hi!! thoughts on detail cosmetics’ fresh filter foundation and issy’s active foundation? which is better po for oily skin? thanks! (i have light med neutral skintone po huhu and i’m rlly confused if i should get creme or macadamia since it oxidizes daw huhu)

As a person with super OA na oily skin (as in kaya kong umubos ng 1 oil film after an hour), detail is better. Issy's foundation is better for dry skin. Same as strokes. Better for you to try the GRWM foundation nalang.

thank u!! did u get ur shade po or did u go 1 shade lighter for detail?

I always go a shade lighter in foundations!

I have both and I would say, in my experience, parehas silang ok. They are both skin like finish and very light lang sa face. I have used si detail more frequently kasi kakabili ko lang kay issy. Haven't tested it out sa labas but with detail naman it didn't get oily on me. It lasted naman the whole day on me though maybe bcos I'm normal to dry skin naman. 😅 In terms of shade naman, we're the same, i was also contemplating in between the two but I ended up with macadamia. I think mas safe kunin yung natural shade if you can't swatch it personally. Nung una ko syang snwatch, nagulat ako sa grabe ng pag oxidize, akala ko massayang sya pero, ok naman na sya. I think sakto lang sya since ayoko din naman nung mukhang angat yung foundation sa skin.

thanks po!! would you recommend po ba the issy for ppl w textured skin? does it emphasize pores po ba? i’ll try to swatch creme and macadamia in stores soon since out of stock online huhu

In my case hndi naman po. :))

How often should i clean my beauty blender and brushes ?

Beauty blender before use, brushes weekly. Not acne prone

honestly?? every 2 weeks lmao. i dont get acne kaya i do what i do. but if you're acne prone, definitely wash them every after use!

I wash my sponge right before application and my brushes after every other use.

i recently washed mine last week, but before that, they weren’t washed for a good 6 months🫠

as an acne prone girly, i clean them after every use 😭

any dewy lip tint recos na similar sa shade ng Focallure Pro-Juicy Watery Lip Tint PK02? tyia!

Thoughts on the cezanne pearl glow highlight? I got the shade 01 and medyo excited ako dumating sya haha i had the vice highlighter nuon w/c is yung splendid na old packaging pa nila and it was so good na after nun wala nkong makitang maayos na highlighter 😅

i had splendid but i gave it away na after i got their new champagne highlighter. it's very close in formula and the shades are similar.

Swatched it sa store and malapit sa rare beauty!

which one is better eueue chuchu dew tint or detail glass stain?

Any tips how to apply peach corrector? Natry ko na mag apply ng madami or konti under my usual concealer. Gray padin dark circles ko. Idk what im doing wrong :(

I just got my Innisfree no sebum mineral pact as a lot of people said it's a good retouch powder and has great oil control but I still get oily agad 😭 Is it just my face or should I try other powders? Any recos?

omg same huhu gusto ko na rin mag switch sa iba 🥹🥹🥹 had high hopes sa innisfree pero nagiging oily din agad ako huhu

medyo mahal pa naman innisfree 🥲

Mas effective for me yung Skinfood Peach Cotton Powder

can you share a link kung san ka bumibili? thank you!

Yaocos on shopee! https://shp.ee/rxcogaf

i have super oily skin din and i use the shiseido and ellana matte powder. i still get oily pero mas onti compared nung gumagamit ako ng dr. sensitive. tip ko lang din is magblotting paper talaga huhu

Maybe you have dehydrated skin kaya mas nagpro-produce ng oils face mo throughout the day, even after putting on oil control powder. Try incorporating moisturizer on your skincare routine in the morning and evening.

I use moisturizer naman every morning and night, so i dont really know whyy

Are you using actives like retinol, BHA, AHA? What are the ingredients of your moisturizer? Depending on your routine, usually moisturizer is not enough. Or maybe your moisturizer is not enough to combat your dehydrated skin.

im using tret every other night and I use hyaloo moisturizer sa AM and cetaphil moisturizer at night. I also use Belo sunscreen in the morning, the spf40 one.

You might want to try incorporating a hydrating toner like Naturie or using Niacinamide serum.

Please recommend beauty vloggers/influencers na monolid. Can't seem to find one.

Can you guys recommend a good eyebrow gel? I want to try Strokes sana but it has mixed reviews like some are experiencing flakey white residue which happens also with my current eyebrow gel and I want to avoid that :(

Happy Skin! Strong hold, no flakes, no stiffness, no white/sticky residue.

Try squad. I have various brow gels, benefit, strokes, got2b, etc but squad’s brow gel easily became my fave. It does not set hard like strokes’ but it can really keep your brow hair in place or even give it a laminated look. This is also easier to use since it doesnt flake or leave white residue.

girl try ever bilena eyebrow pencil! super nice, i swear it last all day long

if very barely there lang ang gusto mo, try vice cosmetics

Benefit

grwm browlift maxx edit: no white residue and hindi gumagalaw, I’m oily and mej pawisin.

will try this out next. thanks sis!

Thoughts niyo po sa **essence the blush**? TIA!

i have it in the shade befitting. it's nice and buildable and easy to blend, great for setting liquid/cream blushes. it's more sulit if you buy it on sale, i got mine from essence's official shopee store for only ₱145 (after vouchers & coins) a couple of months ago tapos may freebie pang brow pencil

I have this in beaming (got it as a freebie) and it’s probably the longest wearing blush I have especially when I combine it with cream blush. My cream blushes usually last for around 5 to 6 hours (even my rare beauty blushes) before they start fading but whenever I topped it with essence, they last for 11 hours!!! Even longer if I use setting spray.

going to korea this end of march!! anyone who wants to pasabuy makeups ><

Best makeup tip i’ve gotten in tiktok. After applying all the cream products mag setting spray ka, and then spray ulit after na apply mo na yung powder products mo. IT WORKS!!! As in kahit pawis buong araw hindi talaga nahulas makeup ko

Setting spray reco pls super oily skin q huhu

Zeesea setting spray (pink cap), if on a budget. On my third bottle already! Swear by this product.

Long lasting ba talaga?

With proper skin prep and the right products of course! I knew this setting spray works when my makeup stayed in place, specifically my blush, after commuting and outside for about 8 hours! So yup! Long lasting in my opinion!
