Do creams for hydration and against the sun count? Those. If not, probably lip stick.

If you just had to pick one colour, what would it be?

Foundation. Fucking love it, it hides all sorts and makes me feel good about myself

Curious, do you prefer liquid or powder? (I like the convenience of powder a lot, but dang if some of those fancy liquid ones go on nice)

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 251d

Always liquid, my skin can get dry in bits so powder clings in all the wrong places

ooh, that's a tough one. probably nail polish, if that counts. i don't generally do anything fancy with my face, but nail art is fun, and a lot more likely to be complimented by others than a bit of subtle makeup.

I love good nail outfit it's so pretty! Can you do it yourself?

juliebean@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 251d

yeah. i'm not great at it, and don't usually do anything fancy, but i can manage. i've never gone to get them done professionally, but i'd like to some day.

Oh geez. It’s a tie between eyebrow tint (fine hair problems - I have like, no eyebrows lol) and tinted lip balm. I’ll go with redder lips I guess! They make tinted lip balms that double as blush, so that’s a twofer.

Do you want some of my eyebrows? I've plenty to go round

mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca · 3 pts · 251d (1 reply)

Done! Idk what I could give, maybe some freckles if you want em bc I hear they’re a e s t h e t i c now😂 That’s lucky though. You must have thicker lashes too!

LadyButterfly@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 251d

Yes that's the payoff I do have lovely lashes

I only wear makeup to hide the residual beard shadow. Once I get the hairs fully destroyed I'll probably stop wearing makeup altogether.

So either concealer or foundation, whichever is more effective on its own.

Hmmm... Probably eye liner! I feel like my face looks so different without it 😂

Similarly, mascara, no question. I’m fair so heavy liner looks stark on me, but mascara is just enough to add some sparkle.

They make colors other than black, you know

I usually wear a medium lavender color. But if we’re only allowed one product, I’m giving it up in favor of mascara.

cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 250d

Understandable choice.

Eyeliner for sure. It's the one thing that actually makes me look and feel like me, and once I'm finished with laser I might actually be lucky enough that it works by itself

Eyeliner is a pain to apply, but lipstick comes off during so many things. It's a toss-up.

Edit: you can also get 'permenant make-up', which is tattooing it on. Real thing.

Haus Labs Brand Black Face Paint.

I use it as eye liner and as lipstick, its already the only product I use. If they stop making it, I will stop wearing makeup because I'm allergic to most products I try.
