The very same make-up as you, plus concealer under my eyes. I still don’t like the idea of looking like I have make-up on. I want to use it to slightly improve the way I look, but not at all to look “made-up”! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2264000 Sun, 22 May 2022 01:57:03 +0000 VioletMyra 2264000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear SF, I don't wear make-up unless I'm going somewhere 'dressy' and then it's just the nude lipstick and mascara . . . that will do me. Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263983 Sat, 21 May 2022 19:51:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, thanks for commenting. I’ve always been natural (hair, body, nails, you name it), so it’s been a surprise that lately I prefer a little makeup. Good point about photography, even using natural light from a window like this, not showing Make-up as it looks irl. </p> <p>La Ped, looking forward to when you report back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263980 Sat, 21 May 2022 19:16:05 +0000 Carla 2263980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The unfortunate reality is that make-up for RL and make-up for photography are often two completely different things - so it can be really hard to tell when someone is wearing a ‘natural’ or ‘me-but-better’ application of make-up - especially if you use a flash feature. &nbsp;In other words, you need to lay it on pretty thick for it to show up at all in photos.</p> <p>I’m picking up a really pretty lip, and some nice contouring - on my monitor (iPad). &nbsp;Maybe keep these as part of your make-up routine?</p> <p>My lashes are transparent so I dye them, and use mascara - black - nothing natural about it at all! &nbsp;I do brows too. &nbsp;I struggle with drawing a nice lip, and getting lippy colour right. &nbsp;My sunscreen is mineral based and does a nice light job of evening out my skin tone, which is pale. &nbsp;When my rosecea was bad, I used a Smashbox green colour corrector and it was magic!</p> <p>Have fun. &nbsp;Keep experimenting. &nbsp;Ignore the comments from the peanut gallery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263979 Sat, 21 May 2022 19:09:24 +0000 LaPed 2263979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial reaction is that I like the first photo a smidge better. Your skin looks a bit warmer/glowier and your eyes seem a bit brighter. Off to read the post to see what the difference is!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263972 Sat, 21 May 2022 18:07:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chewy, color corrector? Heading for the Google now… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263939 Sat, 21 May 2022 16:28:25 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2263939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have discovered that a pink toned color corrector does much more for my dark circles than any concealer ever did- and it's easier to use. ymmv, but wanted to pass that on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263905 Sat, 21 May 2022 13:51:36 +0000 Angie 2263905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In these pics, I can see a difference with the lipstick and like it! Adds a fab finishing touch. The pink is lovely with your pretty blue eyes :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263878 Sat, 21 May 2022 08:00:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RL, i did. my best—they were taken just a few minutes apart, same spot, same editing. I just wish my eyes would both be open. That’s also a hereditary thing. The “bronzer” is actually powder eyeshadow, a fairly dark shade of brown with some sparkles. Not sure it matters on my cheeks, but when I put it on my brows, it feels like it makes them “open up”. I really do need to work on the photography. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263877 Sat, 21 May 2022 07:55:00 +0000 rachylou 2263877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The light is pretty different in the two photos. Cream or powder bronzer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263876 Sat, 21 May 2022 07:53:40 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star, it’s crazy how little difference the coverup makes. I have always had dark circles under my eyes, really notice when they’re not covered up irl, but the Bobby Brown I’m wearing here is the most covering I’ve found (Estee lauder &amp; Tarte are also good, imo) but here it’s hardly visible—the folds are much more noticeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263874 Sat, 21 May 2022 07:41:59 +0000 Star (Lise) 2263874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I notice the lipstick and it looks good.&nbsp; I say you can ditch the rest.&nbsp; I mostly only wear lipstick and fill in my eyebrows with pencil. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263873 Sat, 21 May 2022 07:31:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, oh golly. I thought you were going to say he made a general sort of compliment. The point behind makeup, in my book, is not to announce itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263872 Sat, 21 May 2022 07:17:35 +0000 Sally 2263872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a slight difference but it’s very subtle and you wouldn’t notice unless you stared hard. You look lovely in both photos. Your hair style looks very nice too.<br /> On a side note, I don’t wear makeup usually but I was very tired so put a smudge of eye liner and mascara on and a male colleague came up to me and asked me if I was wearing eyeliner? That weirded me out. I prefer people not to notice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263869 Sat, 21 May 2022 07:03:58 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RL, yep, there’s a little something on that side—bronzer only. </p> <p>Thanks Lana. Every member of my family—mom, dad, &amp; all kids—have exactly the same. </p> <p>ViolettMara, what do you wear in daily life? There isn’t much difference for me between this every day look &amp; “all dressed up”. </p> <p>I’m confused which pic people mean when they say “good shot”. Am going to guess it’s the one that’s not halfsies. I appreciate the compliments though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263861 Sat, 21 May 2022 04:06:38 +0000 VioletMyra 2263861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to be able to do my make-up as you do yours - so subtle. I was not born with the make-up gene and, despite decades of practising,&nbsp; wear mascara and nude lipstick when I need to be "all dressed up". Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263848 Sat, 21 May 2022 00:19:16 +0000 rachylou 2263848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait. I’m a little confused. Do you have any make up on, on your left side in the first pic? (Your actual left side, right side looking at the pic.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263843 Fri, 20 May 2022 23:48:43 +0000 Lana 2263843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the difference with the lipstick, but I have to say your eye color is beautiful. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263831 Fri, 20 May 2022 20:44:21 +0000 Sal 2263831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it hard to tell except for the lipstick. I like that shade on you.</p> <p>I do like your hair like this - very cool and casual. They are both very nice photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263822 Fri, 20 May 2022 20:05:24 +0000 Anonymous 2263822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I’ll take half and half for my coffee :)</p> <p>Pretty pic! I see the lipstick. Great color ❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263816 Fri, 20 May 2022 19:22:00 +0000 merwoman 2263816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely photo Fash! I noticed the lipstick, but that was all. Me thinks you can pass on the makeup….&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263809 Fri, 20 May 2022 17:31:25 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On one half my face I have cover-up under my eye, a touch of eyeliner under my eye, lip liner and lipstick. The other side has bronzer under one cheekbone (a teeny bit of contouring) and on my brownbone/ just under my eyebrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263801 Fri, 20 May 2022 16:32:37 +0000 rachylou 2263801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a dif in the pictures but it could be all be in my mind. The dif looks to me like heavier lipstick and bronzer. What products do you actually use? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/half-half#post-2263794 Fri, 20 May 2022 15:43:20 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2263794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First pic is Half my usual make-up on each side of my face. Second pic is full coat on both sides. What do you think? My son claims not the see any difference, even staring at my face. </p>
