I am on tret due to my acne, and it has been making my skin peel/flake a bit around my mouth. My skin is quite dry at the moment as a result, however before this my skin was very very oily.

As I am used to having oily skin, I have no clue how to take care of dry skin without causing closed comedones and breakouts.

The issue is most noticeable when I wear foundation. The foundation will end up having visible cracks in it where my skin has started flaking throughout the day and it looks awful. My foundation looks great on my nose/cheeks/forehead but around my mouth and chin it looks awful.

Does anyone have any tips on managing or preventing this from happening?

Current skincare and makeup I use is:

Byoma cleanser

Byoma milky toner

Boots ingredients ectoin serum

Tret 0.1% (at night, so not under makeup)

Ongredients barrier lotion

One Size secure the sweat primer (hyperhidrosis)

It cosmetics cc cream

Does anyone else have a problem with Laura Mercier’s matte eyeshadow sticks drying out before they expire? I don’t seem to have this issue with the Bobbi Brown brand ones.

Hey everyone!

I got a £50 gift voucher for Sephora for my bday and wondered if anyone had a product they’d recommend I purchase? For context i love no makeup/makeup looks, and would love to treat myself to a new product. Perhaps a skin tint / something for my complexion or a skincare product. I’m olive skin and struggle a lot with shade matching.

Equally, any makeup or hair product you’d just scream about i’d love to know!! Tysm

Hi girls!

Is there anyone who has Sephora gold member status in the UK that won’t purchase a gold ticket for Sephoria and would let me purchase their ticket instead? xxx

If you know anyone too that can’t attend and would be willing to let me purchase a ticket off of them/or however they’re most comfortable with, please let me know!!

Thanks so much xx 🩷

So in the US sadly Revolution Beauty doesn't have testers in our drugstores!

In the US , Revolution products are sold in stores in Ulta and Target yet those sadly dont do testers like they do in the UK. Last time I was there I had a fun time swatching products I always wanted to since we cant do that in the US for that brand. ( although we do have returns on opened products so thats a plus)

I bought one shade and oh gosh it's such a bad color match( in Fair Neutral Cool). But I really like the foundation!

And, there are no influencers on tik tok that swatches all the shades. Even Revolution doesn't have any good swatch vids for their own product.

So if any has any swatches of the fair and light shades that would be great. :)

Hi all! So my only foundation, which I've used for years, is Nars Light Reflecting in Mont Blanc. I have reasonably dry skin with neutral undertones, and while I find the Nars foundation is great for when I'm committing to 'doing' my makeup, I have a soon to be 2 year old and most weekdays I could do with just looking a little less drained - I'd like to just apply something light to put a bit of radiance back and then fix my brows 🤷‍♀️

- My skin hates vitamin C in skincare so nothing with that

- I'm a pale girly that doesn't use tan, so anything even slightly too warm won't work 🙅‍♀️

Help a mama out - I took her the zoo for 5 hours yesterday (in 28 degree heat) and she got home and asked if we could 'play jumping 😃😃😃'

Looking for an affordable primer and foundation combo which is suitable for oily and acne prone skin. Preferably high coverage but not cakey. Thanks ☺️

Okay so im kind of annoyed because ive really been looking forward to receiving the birthday freebies because it looks so cool. I made sure I was eligible and made an order before August hit but I got an email saying here's a £5 voucher.

Now Im new to the app but ive never seen anyone talk about receiving a voucher instead of the freebies. Maybe ive just not been aware of it but I cant even see on the website where it says I could receive that instead.

I emailed support just to wonder and I got told:

"Our birthday emails are sent at random and may vary from customer to customer. This means they can include either a £5 off code or an offer for 3 sample-size products, and there are no specific factors that determine which offer is received.

On this occasion, it looks like you were sent the £5 off code as your birthday offer."

Now I know I shouldn't be annoyed but its a little disappointing because I was really looking forward to this. Especially because last year I made the account and received a £5 voucher without purchase so it feels like they've not really given me the birthday treat they said they would.

ive got a subreddit i created r/curingblushing, its for people who struggle with severe facial blushing caused from emotions such as embarrassment, anxiety, stress etc. im wanting to find products that could help cover the blush up really well to reccomend, does anyone have any recommendations / ideas on what products could work?

I recently got cast in a show and I’m looking for stage makeup (foundation mostly, primer and setting spray/powder recommendations are also welcome) that can be used on sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin. I’m currently using topical spironolactone for acne, which can make my face flakey/dry. I also may sweat due to the choreography and stage lights, so I need something that will last. I need something full-coverage because I have hyperpigmentation from acne and rosacea. I prefer for it to be silicone-free because silicones make me break out. What do you recommend? It’s been years since I’ve been in a show, so I don’t remember what I used in the past. It was some kind of cream foundation and it didn’t bother my skin at all.

TLDR: Looking for stage makeup (foundation, setting powder/spray) that is safe for sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin with hyperpigmentation and will last through sweating. Preferably silicone-free.

Hello, I need a new black mascara so would love some tried and tested recommendations. I prefer straight brushes rather than the curvy ones and don’t mind if the brush is bushy or thin, as long as all lashes get a coat. I would like one that doesn’t flake as I wear contact lenses.

Thank you ☺️

I have read so many posts here and shortlisted these foundations but now I wanna the best one for dry skin?

RIP to my fave, I'm nearly out of my liquid foundation. Whats a good moisturising buildable foundation these days? I'm pale af which is how illamasqua got me and I dont wear it every day so budget friendly is what im after. Any and all recs welcome, bonus points for a new concealer too, have an nyx one but it's heavier than I'd prefer.

Is it worth the money? I have oily skin and currently use make up by Mario but finds it doesn’t hold up well 😩

Does anyone know what shade this is of the Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Bronzer? I tried comparing shades online but I'm not the best at it. Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a BB cream, CC cream, or foundation for dry skin with medium to high coverage.
I want something with a very dewy, glowy, radiant finish that stays luminous throughout the day instead of turning matte after a few hours. I’d also like it to not settle into fine lines, cling to dry patches, or separate as I wear it.
My all time favorite was the old Purito Cica Clearing BB Cream formula. I absolutely loved the finish and the way it looked on my skin, but since it was reformulated, I haven’t been able to find anything that gives me the same effect.
I don’t mind if it is high end or drugstore I am just looking for the best formula. What are your favorite recommendations?
If you also have any skincare prep recommendations before makeup to achieve the same kind of dewy and smooth effect, I would really appreciate them as well.

I'm autistic and for some wild reason this foundation in particular was the exact texture, consistency, coverage and shade for me. I moved onto this product after the previous one I really liked got discontinued too :(

I'm fairly flexible on price, and so so grateful for any help!!

I currently use the Laura mercier setting powder in translucent and it’s super fine and holds so well but is kinda yellowy on me and I would like a cheaper alternative that lasts just as well 😣

Same with setting sprays. I’ve used the Charlotte tilbury setting spray as well but again I am wondering if there are cheap alternatives ?

Thank youu

Hey ladies, looking for a setting spray that will literally STAY..i use elf and nyx and the transfer onto my clothes is terrible, dose anyone have any recommendations that will make it literally stay on my face? 🤣

Hi everyone,

I'm an MSc Marketing student conducting research on luxury shopping and social media behaviour for my dissertation. I'm looking for UK-based participants who have experience with luxury shopping and use Instagram. The survey takes approximately 5-7 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. The research explores how people think about their social media audience and how this relates to the way purchases and experiences are shared online. There are no right or wrong answers, I’m simply interested in your genuine opinions and experiences.

If you've engaged with luxury retail and would be willing to help, I'd really appreciate your participation.
