It doesn’t have a grayish cast like I’ve experienced with other brands of B.B. creams. To compare, I’m an NC 35 shade for Mac. </p> <p>It’s hard to recommend lighter/darker without knowing what you look like and skin tone, but I think the descriptions and colors are pretty true to life. Have you looked at swatch comparisons of the different shades online? If you’re unsure between two shades I’d probably err on the side of lighter since B.B. creams do oxidize! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2812976 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 20:27:10 +0000 Mrs Panda 2812976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Hi! Found this oldish post, and wondered if you could tell me, do you use the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream? I really want to try it, but I’m scared to pull the trigger because I have no idea what shade to get. Any advice? Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: Didn’t mean to sound like I was asking what shade to get, but if you have advice on err on lighter side vs darker side, etc., that would be helpful. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2809175 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:14:23 +0000 bees_knees 2809175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I totally agree! the hairdryer helps a lot! Or I’ll just blow hot air on it (like...when you’re trying to fog a mirror? I don’t know how to explain it :silly: ) if I don’t have my hair dryer out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2809166 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 08:46:35 +0000 looch 2809166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: I've learned that I need to layer products to get the best results. I also have tweaked the application, so for the foundation step, I use one of those new toothbrush style brushes (look up Artis) and that cut the time I spent applying and blending foundation in half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2809164 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 08:40:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2809164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: Thanks I will try that! That's been the most frustrating thing to me b/c I see all these videos and eveyone just seems to be able to get SO much product in one swipe and I'm always struggling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2809009 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 08:40:37 +0000 starchild 2809009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Thanks!</p> <p>@looch: That sounds exactly like me. My undereyes look purple on really bad days. I just struggle with adding more steps in the morning, but do you feel like you're able to do your routine quickly once you get the hang of it? I saw your post on the first page and it seems like a lot of steps but sounds like it would look great. Also feel free to send pics! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2808999 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 06:12:38 +0000 looch 2808999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: In addition to an actual concealer, one thing you can add in is a corrector. I use an apricot colored one on my eye area before I put on the concealer because I have very dark lids and blue toned under eye circles. It adds an extra layer of coverage and you don't have to put on quite so much concealer.</p> <p>I also watched a few make up artist videos on applying concealer and I learned I wasn't using enough of applying it correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2808990 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 22:32:00 +0000 SweetiePie 2808990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: not creepy, haha. I just hope it looks good! I feel like I never photograph as well as I (think) I look. Haha. Makeup wise I mean.<br /> I’ll try to wall you a photo tomorrow! I don’t want to post my face on a public thread. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2808989 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 22:09:53 +0000 starchild 2808989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I don’t want to sound creepy but I’d love to see your look put together if you are open to posting a pic of yourself, but totally understand if not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine/page/2#post-2808986 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 21:42:28 +0000 SweetiePie 2808986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: I love the Better Than Sex mascara when I need some oomph! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808984 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 21:39:16 +0000 SweetiePie 2808984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: YSL All Hours Concealer. THE BEST. I’ve searched and purchased countless ones over the years and this is hands down the best. I will be loyal forever unless they change it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808983 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 21:37:03 +0000 SweetiePie 2808983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love these kinds of posts 😍<br /> My list seems long but seriously takes me 5 mins and looks very natural. </p> <p>-Laura Mercier Radiant Primer<br /> -Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream<br /> -YSL All Hours Concealer (after years of searching for the perfect concealer, this has become my holy grail that I will repurchase over and over)<br /> -Ilia multipurpose stick for my cheeks in Tenderly<br /> -Laura Mercier translucent powder (minimal)<br /> - Bobbi Brown Golden Light or NARS Laguna bronzer<br /> - after bronzer I apply super thin layer of aquaphor to my lips to prep for lipstick/balm<br /> - Clinique naturally glossy mascara<br /> - benefit Watts Up highlighter on cheekbones and inner corner of eyes IF I feel like it<br /> - lips - I wipe/blot off the aquaphor so I’m just left with soft lips - I use a bunch of different lip colors but most common 3 are Clinique Tender Heart, Fresh Sugar lip treatment in Rose, or Vaseline Rosy lips </p> <p>I swear this all takes 5 mins or less, I don’t even need a mirror. Have it down to a science :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808978 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 20:13:24 +0000 bees_knees 2808978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: full disclosure, I sell Maskcara (and obvi love it). My creams get cold sometimes too—try blasting it with your hair dryer for a couple seconds :) Just don’t do that to your illuminator or the shimmer will melt to the bottom 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808909 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 08:27:43 +0000 starchild 2808909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I use my foundation all over right now, too. Will look into the Nars, thanks!</p> <p>@Amorini: I'll check that out, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808884 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 21:43:15 +0000 bhbee 2808884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: i used to use the Bobbi Brown and agree it’s good. I just got sick of paying for two products just for that. Now I’m using nars creamy concealer and pretty happy with it. I use the IT cc cream as an all over base first so that’s kind of another layer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808883 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 21:20:00 +0000 Amorini 2808883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: I really like Bobbi Brown Corrector and Concealor (two products). You can get a good amount of under eye help from just one of them, but together it’s the best I’ve found! I ran out after DS was born and got some nicer drug store stuff and totally regret it. But I’m too frugal to throw it out and just get back on the BB wagon.</p> <p>In general, my attempt at nicer drug store products was a total bust. I’m going back to my Bobbi Brown lineup as soon as I can:<br /> BB corrector and concealed<br /> BB powder compact foundation<br /> BB bronzing powder<br /> BB cream shadow and eyeliner<br /> ...and then I go random drug store find for mascara so I don’t feel bad replacing frequently<br /> ...and then a nice lip tint or gloss </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808880 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 20:58:58 +0000 starchild 2808880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone feel really strongly about an under eye concealer? LO is 3 months and I need HELP! </p> <p>My daily routine is moisturizer, foundation, neutral shadow, mascara, and brow pencil. Burts Bees lip balm on the days I don't wear lipstick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808816 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 16:43:43 +0000 autumnlove 2808816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: thanks! I like trying all mascaras. Hahahha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808777 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 14:29:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2808777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Ah! I will try that. I have their dual end brush so I usually try to use that and then blend in the end </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808775 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 14:27:32 +0000 avivoca 2808775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I also use Masckara on the occasions that I wear make-up and I use a beauty blender to get the product on my skin. Then I use a different part of the blender to blend it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808760 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 13:48:47 +0000 snowjewelz 2808760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennibenni: Nope you can still buy it on your own! I wasn't sure about my colors so I actually tracked down someone local so at least I gave my business to a local mom! </p> <p>@ladybee: Do you have trouble getting the cream onto the brush? I don't know if it's because it's still cold but I always have to use my fingers to get the product on my face first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808750 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 13:35:10 +0000 Jennibenni 2808750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I have this and use it sometimes too! I started buying it before they came out with the “artists” and sort of became an MLM and I haven’t needed to repurchase since then. Do you have to buy it through an artist now? I kind of hate mlms but I like the contour and highlight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808748 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 13:26:52 +0000 ladybee 2808748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: same. A friend recommended it and I’m very happy with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808746 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 13:14:01 +0000 Littlebit7 2808746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: its good stuff. The reviews don't lie. I buy others and yet I always come back to the Nars Orgasm and Deep Throat (same color as orgasm but less shimmer)</p> <p>@mamabear87 lucky you! If its hydration you are after, maybe the NMF or the rosehip oil. Those seem to be popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808670 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 10:00:38 +0000 jennlin821 2808670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Do you have Sephora near you? You can get a 'Free makeover' with a $50 purchase. I did this a few years ago after discovering that I was allergic to my drugstore makeup. I told them exactly what I wanted (5 min morning makeup) and they set me up!<br /> I just went back and did another one, because my foundation was discontinued and I had no idea what other color or brand was good for me.<br /> Its a 45 min appointment, they do try to sell you on several products ( Last weekend I think there were 10 products in total that they recommended, and I took 4) but they do not work on commission, so they are not too pushy. </p> <p>I know about stage makeup but nothing about daily makeup, so this really helps me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808652 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 09:23:00 +0000 looch 2808652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I found it at a Harmons store, which always has some offbeat products.</p> <p>I really like it and will replace with another when I am done with this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808464 Thu, 08 Mar 2018 10:39:21 +0000 snowjewelz 2808464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently started using Maskcara. Nobody tried to persuade me to buy, nor are any friends a Maskcara artist. I found it on my own and did a ton of research about it. Ultimately, I like that all I need is in that one palette. So I do that, brow powder, curl lashes and lip color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808453 Thu, 08 Mar 2018 09:20:57 +0000 wrkbrk 2808453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: This is sad, but most days (even for Work!) I just do black liquid liner and my standby mascara - the vibrating one from Lancôme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-makeup-routine#post-2808446 Thu, 08 Mar 2018 08:52:00 +0000 LadyDi 2808446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread makes me feel like I should switch to a NARS blush! Since I am not leaving the house a lot right now, I've been using MAC studio fix powder foundation, tarte blush, benefit concealer, maybelline instant age rewind under eye concealer and too faced better than sex mascara. </p>
