The Make-Up Thread

Here is your semi-regular make-up thread, to discuss all things make-up and make-up adjacent.

Do you have a make-up product you'd recommend? Are you looking for the perfect foundation which has remained frustratingly elusive? Need or want to offer make-up tips? Searching for hypoallergenic products? Want to grouse about how you hate make-up? Want to gush about how you love it?

Whatever you like—have at it!

I also apologize for not having done a Make-Up Thread in forever! I can't remember the last time I even wore make-up, so I haven't had anything to post.

But! While I was on holiday, my friend insisted that I join him for my first pedicure ever, and so I did. And it was really nice! I was definitely positive on getting a hot stone massage on my tootsies!

The relevant part of this experience, however, is that I picked out a nail polish that I really love.

It's holding up really well a week later, so I'm highly recommended it. It's OPI's "Love Is in My Cards."

Anyway! What's up with you?

Please note, as always, that advice should be not be offered to an individual person unless they solicit it. Further: This thread is open to everyone—women, men, genderqueer folks. People who are make-up experts, and people who are make-up newbies. Also, because there is a lot of racist language used in discussions of make-up, and in make-up names, please be aware to avoid turns of phrase that are alienating to women of color, like "nude" or "flesh tone" when referring to a peachy or beige color. I realize some recommended products may have names that use these words, so please be considerate about content noting for white supremacist (and/or Orientalist) product naming.
