skincare and SPF

Thanks for sharing @jhe9488, I've since checked her out and I like what I see so far!

Love love love MAKE UP FOR EVER, but I haven't tried the HD Stick... I useMAKE UP FOR EVER - Water Blend Face & Body Foundation for light coverage, it was a dewy natural finish, so not for you if you like matte. If you want medium coverage, with a more matte finish go for the MAKE UP FOR EVER - Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation

@Beckyzelaya The LANCôME - Long Time No Shine Loose Setting Powder worked fairly well on my nose. I had to reapply after 4 or 5 hours each day I used it this summer, but that’s much longer shine control than I get with my CT, Hourglass, and Becca powders. Since the jar is huge, I had to put some into a small travel jar to carry with me throughout the day.  I also tried the translucent Beauty Bakerie Flour and it worked the best for me. I don’t use it (or the Lancome powder) under my eyes, or anywhere else my skin is dry—which is 90% of my face—but it did a good job on my nose area. On one particularly hot and humid day, I did have to do a Flour touchup around the 4 hour mark. But it’s cheaper than Lancome’s powder and easier to carry. (You get about the same amount of both powders. Lancome just puts theirs in a bigger jar.) And I think Beauty Bakerie has a 15% off promo code available on their site today.  When I used a mattefying primer on my oily area beneath Flour, it worked even better. LANCôME - Blur & Go Stick and NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer work much better with powder than they do on their own.  While I’m here again, I’ll recommend one more skin tint: MAKE UP FOR EVER - Ultra HD Perfector Skin Tint Foundation SPF 25 which I tried this summer and absolutely loved. I like it even better than Lancome Skin Feels Good. It adapts better to my skin tones than Skin Feels Good (zero gray or otherwise off-color cast), blurs the lines between my tones without making my whole face one dimensionless shade (so I don’t completely lose my natural built-in highlights and contours), and gives me a natural skin finish. I love this stuff so much, I stocked up on it during MUFE’s 25% off sale. 

Hi @dbaltzmt,   I love going for a minimalistic look on my days off. That normally consist of brows, concealer, and mascara. Some days I add a little lip too. I love having a balance between glam and simple     Best, Rebecca 

any benefit mascara, I've had good luck with all of them. especially the roller lash one.

Love the nars tinted moisturizer also! And it gives a surprising amount of coverage and has SPF.

My foundation obsession is the Make Up For Ever Invisible Cover. It provides solid medium coverage but feels like nothing at all. I have mild rosacea with some texture and fine lines, and this foundation doesn't settle into or highlight any of my problem areas. It pairs nicely with the NARS Radiant Creamy concealer; if my rosacea is flaring or I have an unsightful blemish, this combo camouflages everything well. Unfortunately I don't have a setting powder recommendation, as I rarely use it and haven't found one that makes my sensitive skin happy. 

I second this! @Britt325 this is really good stuff.

@Britt325 The only transfer proof foundation that I have ever found to live up to it's name is ESTéE LAUDER - Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation. You can talk on your phone and foundation wont be all over the screen, wear a white jacket - it wont rub off. I have found no other foundation that can live up to its claim other then this one.  

have you tried the Born this Way foundation? it's not matte but Jackie Aina extended the shades. not at sephora but the new nyx foundation cant stop wont stop is nice too. its matte

Packaging for what?

Bite Agave Lip Mask, Too Faced Shadow Insurance, ABH Brow Wiz, Nars blush, Tarte Lights, Camera Lashes mascara. I’m currently in between eye shadows (not in a committed relationship).

I have a couple of recommendations:Powders: BareMinerals has several vegan products, which include powders! KORA Organics also has a powder, though they are primarily a skincare brand. ANTONYM is another brand which has powders, and they also have a line of vegan and cruelty-free brushes, but I don't think Sephora sells the actual brushes.Lips: Josie Maran makes an organic lip butter which is also vegan, and if you want vegan and organic lip colours, you should look at Axiology Beauty.Brushes: Antonym is vegan, and so are the Kat Von D brushes iirc. Too Faced also does vegan brushes but they may not be cruelty-free, as their parent company isn't.A lot of vegan and organic makeup tends to be more like sticks or cremes rather than powders, so if you might want to look into brands that run towards that type of formulation!

Hi!Have you looked at Tarte's under-eye concealer, or at the Fenty Match Stix? I use the Tarte's concealer personally, and find that it covers really well (I have very dark under-eye circles). I have seen the Fenty concealer in use, and while I haven't used it personally, it really does cover well (it's more build-able than IT cosmetics, imo), and the shade range looks a lot better.For your brows, you really can't go wrong with Benefit-- their shaping and setting gel is awesome, and they have options for tinted gel/cream if you wanted to go that route too. Their mascara is also pretty good (I use MILK makeup's KUSH, personally).Also for eyeliner, do you have a preference for like pencil vs liquid vs creme/gel? There is a lot to choose from!

Hi @eshemae,   I think you have a great cause and I will send you a private message with some info.   Best, Penelope

Hi @AddieWinters20!Here are a couple product recommendations - Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (my personal favorite concealer) + Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer Mini (plus it comes with a mini brush!) OR if you just want a single palette Benefit makes a good one - The Complexionista Face PaletteNARS - Radiant Creamy ConcealerBENEFIT COSMETICS - Hoola Matte Bronzer MiniBENEFIT COSMETICS - The Complexionista Face Palette 

I believe it is nickel that is my trigger. I had heard that the TARTE brand works for very sensitive skin. I am asking is there a brand out there for the very sensitive?

I think that these tools are a great starting point, but I don’t depend soley on them @msamuel. There’s nothing like a good ol fashioned foundation match to your cheek ☺️ The hydration metre is also a great starting point, it can help to narrow down which moisturizers and products might work for you. 

Marc Jacobs O!mega Coconut Bronzer. It’s to die for

Try brown instead--it's far more natural looking than grey.

You need to use a primer under it.  I use Smashbox--the Photofinish is great, or they also have a couple with a slight tint for color correction.  

@rechmendez I have tried many tinted moisturizers but my absolute holy grail that I actually use everyday its the ERBORIAN - CC Crème High Definition Radiance Face Cream Skin Perfector - Regular it is just perfect on the skin. Highly recommended 

Thank you! @mermadelove
