What is BB cream exactly?
- Notice
I like some CT products but I think the eye shadows are awful.Theres alot of charlotte tilbury love on this thread but I dont agree. It is so overpriced and not that great. For an amazing setting powder try airspun, its lighter than air good for mature skin. As for eyeshadow I dont rate CT. Colorpop is the best imo. Yes it had to be shipped here but it's not expensive. Dont let the "childish" packaging put u off. Their super shock eyeshadow are the best thing I've ever tried.
If you find the IT cc cream expensive elf has a really good dupe.
If you want a brown eyeliner Barry m does a brown liquid one. Tho if its pencil it's never staying tho I do recommend good old fashioned rimmel lip liners included, cappuccino is a beautiful colour.
Aaaand breathe
I actually love the Kylie Cosmetic shadows, they work best for me

hi guys after some advice! apologies as it’s not make up but can anyone recommend a good eye cream/serum? I mainly get tired eyes and underneath the skin looks a bit loose so maybe I need something to firm them up? I’m bloody rubbish at knowing anything about make up/skin care so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

A good under eye concealer, anyone? I just need a touch for dark circles. Currently using Maybelline Age Rewind but is a bit cracky/cakey under the eye?

I have quite bad skin and usually need a full coverage foundation. I’ve found most look like cement though and sit in every scar/indent of the skin.. this makes me just as self conscious that everyone’s looking at my face as having none on does.
Could anyone recommend any foundations that cover acne/PIH well but doesn’t look really heavy?

A great one is the Lidl BB cream, with slightly less coverage than your Mac one, which is what you want.
I hate the phrase cheap as chips, but it is, with nice medium coverage, lovely texture and it lasts all day!

3 Lidls and not even a hint of BB cream! I wonder is it one of those things that's so good people bulk buy!

I have a very red cheek & chin area (broken veins unfortunately) - does anyone know of a good primer to use under foundation to mask this?

Before I got the Eclat I was wanting The Ordinary one but it has sold out so I’m glad you’re liking it. Looks like I’ll be ordering it next as I’m not paying £30 for the Eclat one.

I’m really struggling with super dry skin at the moment, I put foundation on today for the first time in ages and had to take it straight off again as it was clinging to every dry patch, any recommendations that aren’t vastly expensive?

Does anyone have any BB cream recommendations for very oily skin? Ever since first lockdown I've ditched the oul Mac Studio Fix [which to be fair, is class], but I like the idea of less heavy coverage, but my skin is too large pores and bad texture to not wear something.

Does anyone have any light/medium coverage foundation recommendations? I used to use Mac studio fix but only using a CC cream these days, foundation feels very drying and heavy so looking for something a bit lighter. I've tried the Ordinary foundation which was fine for 6 quid but melted off way too fast.

Yes, agreed! I use a mixture of black and brown eyeshadow.
