is this a good place to talk about sugaring?

sugaring, also called sugarwaxing, is a product and method of hair removal that only uses sugar, water, citric acid and the flick of a wrist.

i currently suck at the flicking wrist part and every search result source has minor differences in important parts. like which direction (with hair grain or against hair grain) to apply and remove for what reason(s)

as always humans sharing goes all the way compared to whims of proprietary search engine results and AI spam mixed in. own experiences and whatever knowledge had about sugaring is what i wanna find a FLOS forum to discuss speculate exchange recommend at. is this the right place?

PSA: pH adjusting lip products contain these ingredients

There's a lip product that claims to NOT be pH-adjusting but every time I swatch it, my hand turns bright pink. I did some digging and found the ingredients that cause the colour change:

Red 27: a cool fuchsia pink

Red 21: a slightly warmer fuchsia pink (i.e. with yellow)

Red 28 (not pictured): another pH-sensitive dye that can also change color based on skin pH, but its exact color shift may vary depending on the formulation.

PSA: liquid foundation + powder = DIY concealer

I have a liquid foundation that's my perfect colour match, but it doesn't react well with other brands of concealer. And the concealers for that brand don't match me at all.

After trying a few different types of setting/finishing powders, I eventually found one that mixed well with the foundation. So I made a paste and it looks seamless!

I didn't know who to tell, so I'm sharing it with the 67 subs in this community ❤️💄💅

Lip tint recommendations for pigmented lips.

Hey guys!! I’m a brown girl looking for lip tint recommendations from brands like Peri Pera. I’m looking for Kbeauty lip tints. Most of them basically don’t show up on my lips. I would love swatches or recommendations before I can give them a try. I found one that worked for me it was Peri Pera Ink Velvet Lip Tint shade 31. Any shade from pinks,reds,nudes,browns would be appreciated.
