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!

Below, a photo of my latest favorite look:

There are a lot of different products involved, but all of them are extremely quick to apply, so the whole thing only takes a few minutes: Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Primer (the primer is the only thing I'm wearing here, with no foundation on top of it); Tarte's Paaarty blush; Tarte's Birthday Suit lip color; Thrive's Brilliant Eye Brightener (in the corners of my eyes, under my eyes, and along my brow bone); Urban Decay's Spike eyeshadow, blended upwards into Urban Decay's Sin eyeshadow; Almay's Intense i-Color mascara in Black Steel; and Ardell Brow Sculpting Gel in clear.

(As always, I'm not affiliated with any of these companies in any way, nor am I getting anything in exchange for these recommendations. I just like the products!)

I'm not even gonna try to fight the pink anymore. I'm just gonna go with it! PINK ALL DAY.

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.
