I pretty much find everything useless other than foundation powder, mascara, and lipgloss. Don't use anything else. I feel like I start to look like a clown if I apply any more than that, which is nice, but I don't get to have "fun with makeup."
I'm a total product ***** so most of people useless stuff I have and use. I don't use bronzer at all since I'm very pale and sticking bronzer or self tanner on my face would be silly. Other than that I'm pretty much using it. It takes a lot of work to be as beautiful as I am
i actually believe vitamins are useless. i think real whole food gives you the best absorption of any nutrient. sure a calcium pill has a certain number of mg's of calcium but it's not bioavailable to the body. that's a lab fact, not one in real use. if you eat almonds or milk (the vitamin d is added but you can get it from the sun or other foods), that calcium is far better and more readily available to the body. for this reason, any beauty pills i see are useless imo.
My eyelash curler makes a huge difference in the appearance of my eyelashes. The curler pulls them upward where they are more noticeable and then with primer and mascara, my lashes look full and thick. The eyelash primer works as a base for building the mascara and I've actually tested this out - on one eye I used the primer and the other one, I did not, and the one with primer had a fuller look and the lashes definitely appeared thicker.
I don't use primer on my face. Moisturizer is my primer and it gives my foundation a good base and just makes my skin feel better all around.
Contouring products seem useless to me. Unless someone is very skilled in their application, they're very noticeable and not a good look.
I know this is an old thread but I think it's worth updating to what we're using now.

The thing is though that some places dont have much sun and not everyone can afford the proper food or maybe have the time to make it.. I dont think vitamins are some beauty thing either.. for some that need Iron etc its a necessity..
I dont get concealer for under eye color correction. How do you use and what does it do?
I use Loreal Primer pretty much for foundation. It's tinted, a lighter coverage, but it does even out my skin tone and minimize pores. As I get older, it seems like "less is more" so I've been preferring the primer.
Because it's a lighter coverage, I feel like I still have noticeable shadows under my eyes, so I use concealer. What I do is make a series of dots, starting in a corner, making a triangle down to the top of my upper jaw bone, and then going back up to the other corner of my eye. And then I blend blend blend. I use my little finger, but probably other people would prefer to use a brush, or a sponge or something.
To reiterate, I use the concealer AFTER I apply the primer. After I apply the primer and the concealer, I'll apply powder blush, and do my eyes, which usually consists of lining with a pencil, and using mascara. I like using Liquid Lash Extensions for my mascara.
IF I had the knack with false eyelashes, I'd wear them...but I don't have good luck with them.
I'll tell y'all something that makes me kind of sad...it's certainly not everyone here, but some people saying THIS is useless, or THAT is useless...when really...it's only useless to the individual who doesn't use whatever said product.
Again...it's not everyone being like that, and most of those kind of comments seemed like they're from way back in 2015...but those comments always make me think "Why does any ONE person seem to think they know what's best for everyone else?" LOL
Now...anyone who says "such and such product is useless FOR ME" I'm right there with you. lol

Exactly. I know women who would swear by eyelash curlers. Not even a make-up artist could curl my lashes. They just won't curl.
