Reddit mentions of N.Y.C City Proof Long Lasting Face Powder 10 Hr, Translucent [701] 0.33 oz

FACE:

• Primer is a must. It helps your pores and it makes your makeup stay on longer. The best budget friendly primers that I love are Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer (only sold at Walmart for $8) and Revlon's PhotoReady Perfecting Primer. Both of these are great and holds up makeup on a hot day really well.
  
  
• BB cream! I love BB creams and they are wonderful. I suggest getting the Asian ones compared to the American ones. American BB creams are more of a tinted moisturizer. Plus Asian BB creams has more skin benefits.
  
  For your skin type, combo, I have many suggestion of a BB cream.
  
  Everyone really likes Missha, I would suggest trying the Perfect Cover or their improved version of that called Signature Real Complete. Both are really well on many skin types. Missha M Shiny provides radiance and glow. Missha Signature Complexion Coordinating BB Cream
  
  In the Skinfood “Good Afternoon” BB cream line I would suggest the Skinfood Good Afternoon Apple Cinnamon Tea which is a Whitening and maintain bright morning skin. Skinfood Good Afternoon Rose Lemon Tea which is Hydrating and Fitting. And Skinfood Good Afternoon Honey Black Tea is Moisturizing and Glowing. Skinfood Mushroom BB cream is also pretty good. It's for dry and normal skin and it helps heal damage skin too.
  
  Holika Holika has a cheap BB cream that works great. Holika Holika Petit BB cream in Clearing (blue tube), Shimmer (pink tube), or Watery (green tube) would be great for your skin tone. Simple break down of Holika Holika Petit BB cream; Essential (orange) for skin elasticity, Moisture (purple) for dry skin, Clearing (blue) for uneven surface of skin, Watery (green) for natural look, and Shimmering (pink) makes skin shiny and clean.
  
  And Holika Holika All That BB cream, Holika Holika Luminous Silk BB Cream, Holika Holika Baby Bloom Moisture BB cream, and Holika Holika Peach Girl BB cream should be great as well.

  Tonymoly Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream creates a really dewy look, but it would nice for combo/dry skins. Tonymoly Intense Care Snail BB cream heals any damaged skin. Tonymoly Cats Wink Shiny Skin BB Cream is a very simple (and cute looking) BB cream.

• Finishing powder. Finishing powder helps your makeup stay on even longer and helps control shine. Two that works extremely and are easy find are ELF Tone Correcting Powder and NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Powder
  
  CHEEKS:
  
  
• Blushes! I absolutely love them. NYX blushes are super great and are super budget friendly too! The Peach color is pretty popular and adds the right about of soft colored pink.
  
  EYES:
  
  
• Mascaras. I never buy high end mascaras they all do the same thing. CoverGirl mascaras are very loved in these subreddits, their Clump Crusher is very beloved. Maybelline mascaras are other people's favorite as well. Their The Falsies is amazing and their The Rocket is super amazing.
  
  
• Eyeliner! There are many different kinds of eyeliners available. There are pencil (automatic ones and sharpening ones), gel, kohl, and liquid. I personally really like gel, kohl, and liquid eyeliners.
  
  For gel eyeliners, Maybelline Eyestudio gel eyeliner is one of the best. However, I love Essence Gel eyeliner. It doesn't smudge, budge, or smear. I had a pot for year or so and it's not dry at all. And it's super cheap! $4!!
  
  For kohl liners, I love Milani liquif'eye. This stuff is truly amazing. I use it on my waterline and it hold up super well! I stamp black eyeshadow on top over it and it last!! I was out for 8 hours and I had to touch up once! Plus when it does fade a bit, it fades cleanly and doesn't look messy.
  
  Liquid liners. I haven't tried this yet, but NYX's liquid liners are amazing. Waterproof like no other! And it's budget friendly as well!
  
  
• Eyeshadows. There are many palettes in this world and I love my theBalm nudetude! It is my favorite and it has great color pay off. However, I also really like NYX's smokey and natural palette. They are also pretty amazing and gives the perfect shadow look.
  
  
• Primer. Eyeshadow primer is also a must. It helps the color show off even more and stay on longer. ELF eyelid primer is pretty great given the price. It's a hit or a miss, but it works quite well with me. Another favorite has to Urban Decay Primer Potion. Like magic in a bottle and is one of the best eyeshadow primer on the market.
  
  LIPS:
  
  
• Revlon Lip Butters. They are freaking amazing and I love them. I thought they were over hyped, but they are really great. They give off a sheery look, but they are buildable. Not quite a lipstick coverage though. They're not drying and they stay up for a couple hours.
  
  
• Maybelline Color Whispers are very similar to Revlon's Lip Butters, but Maybelline has more a range of colors.
  
  
• NYX lipsticks. Now NYX offers great lipsticks options. From mattes to shine to just regular lipsticks. They have great color option is is overall a great lip product.
  
  
• Smith's RoseBud Salve is like Vaseline on steroids. This stuff is amazing. I used it as a lip balm and it makes my lips super smooth! You can also use it for irritations, minor burns, dry skin, and cuticles!
  
  Thanks for hosting! I wish I could help with skincare, I don't know much about skincare and I've reached the 1000 words limit.../r/SkincareAddiction can help you with that! :D
  

You just need to blend in some concealer on the dark areas! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002S8VF5G/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1371249521&sr=8-2&pi=SL75

If this isn't your shade just amazon search 'concealer' until you find the right color. Pay attention to the reviews! Make up is something you want to spend extra money on because the quality is most important. If the product is shit its going to make you look like shit.

Here's a tutorial on how you can apply it. Check out the recommended videos for more insight. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2lpkiT5Um6c

You should be good with just that. I would suggest you invest in a translucent powder to set the concealer and make sure it stays in place. (Helps not rub off and absorbs the shine to give it more of a matte finish so it looks more natural)Totally optional though!

You can get away with just using your finger to apply the powder instead of using a brush. Just press the powder from your finger to the concealed area and lightly blending what you need to. Sometimes the powder comes with a sponge pad thing but if not I'll give you a link to the right brush if you're really interested.
