General Makeup/Skincare Discussion Thread

Hey guys,
I just bought a Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink lip colour/liquid lipstick (?) and I'm finding that it takes so long to dry and it's a bit sticky once it's dry. Is this normal? Are there any other liquid lipsticks that are comfortable to wear and don't crumble?

I recommend you try the savvy liquid lipsticks. It is doesn't take long to dry and it is not flaky. Plus it's cheap as well. It's my go-to liquid lipstick.

I didn't know Savvy had liquid lipsticks as well! I knew they had lip glosses and they were really good (and cheap) so I'll give their liquid lipsticks a go

Looking for a bronzer/contour powder that actually is dark enough for (South East) Asian skin smh. It’s like we don’t even exist 😤

Has anyone tried the Rimmel bronzer?

I find that when I'm wearing a liquid lipstick, my lips aren't the smoothest. Apparently you need to use a lip scrub for that? What lip scrubs would you recommend?

I use the Lush lip scrub (bubblegum) then I either apply a layer of Vaseline or the Dermal lip balm to add moisture back in my lips

I second that lush scrub. It’s edible too. Very yummy

How does a lip scrub actually work? I tried making one with sugar and honey and then bought an Australis lip scrub but I was so confused on whether there are any directions on how to use it. And how do you know if the lip scrub is actually working?

So when you use lip scrub, it gets rid of the dead skin on your lips. You’ll notice that your lips are smoother afterwards (and hopefully plumper as well!)

Is it bad that I know why Vaseline "adds" moisture back? it's a humectant- it imparts moisture onto the surface it's applied to :') #formulationchem

Anyways my sister is wondering what the best type of make-up remover is. I have 0 clue here obviously lmao. Pls help <3

Love me my Vaseline! Very cheap yet so moisturising !

Depends on what make up your sister wants to remove (just makeup in general or waterproof makeup), depends on their skin type, if they prefer natural products and don’t mind etc.

After working in Priceline so long, this is how I approach giving advice on this thread

Lush lip scrubs are the BOMB I highly recommend

On another note, any drugstore foundation and concealer recommendations?
