Beauty Advice by Concern: What to Try, What to Question, and What to Avoid

Start here

Start with the concern, then check the risk level

The useful advice spans routine layering, hair and brow styling, nutrition and hydration, sleep and environment, confidence and relationship changes, and higher-risk procedures or medicines. Low-risk routines and exact products should be separated from medical claims, with visible warnings on eyebrow dye, prescription or weight-loss drugs, injectables, lasers, and DIY skin treatments.

my daily eye makeup is essentially a siren eye and takes 2 minutes tops (unless im being perfectionist and want it to look a very specific way) and always gets me complements. its an alt style so its eye catching but it also makes my eyes look brighter and sharper. i usually use 5 colours (liquid black, pencil black, metalic purple, metalic pink, and silver) but ive used only 4 too for a different aesthetic.

Look at makeup tutorials for YOUR face shape, complexion, lash/eye shape. Wear clothes for YOUR body type based on geometry/ratios. Tailor everything to how you actually look not what’s trendy♥ 119source record 1615

I went from a 10 step skincare regimen to washing my face ONCE a day with cerave salicylic acid face wash and following up with ponds rejuveness- my skin has literally never looked better. I get compliments on how clear and glowing my skin is constantly.♥ 259source record 1753

Introduced skincare to my husband and now I mostly use his (I've been promoting the products that I want to him and he'll just buy and stock up 😂)♥ 23source record 1846

Tinted eyebrows/lashes. Self-tanner contour. Aquaphor everywhere. Tinted spf. Stain to lips and cheeks and I wake up looking and feeling amazing.♥ 146source record 1849

Eyeshadow palette is really all you need to do the full face, i used to use it for blush, contour, lip liners and eyebrows while travelling if i couldnt fit a whole makeup bag♥ 64source record 1882

I'm tired of people thinking that oils are bad! please don't wash your face in the morning spray rose water, lymphatic massage face, vitamin c, morning face cream and SPF 🤗♥ 55source record 1931

Back sleeping, silicone scar tape, castor oil, facial massage, no cleansing in the am, double cleanse in the evening... Nothing new just cheap and works and stay hydrated! Inside and out. Yes that means a healthy diet and quit drinking! Everyone wants to look younger and healthier and puts all this money into products and treatments but they don’t want to do what really works. Sorry it will age you. This is coming from a holistic esthetician.♥ 12source record 2021

I put my mascara on first, and I make a huge mess of it. The goal is length and coverage, not keeping it off my skin. Then I use makeup remover and toner to neaten it up and apply the rest of my makeup. Lashes are bangin every day.♥ 5source record 2088

Wild yam cream to reduce my facial hair. Didn't help much for perimenopause, but it thins and lightens the chin hairs within days♥ 78source record 2099

so somewhere in the last few years, I realized that shimmer/glittery eyeshadows, for me, should only go on the upper lid or at a diagonal from the top outer corner to the inner eye corner. and never on the lower lid as it immediately ages me to look my actual age, 45. Also, switching from black to brown eyeliner and mascara, it was too severe with my skin tone and also aged me. Also liquid/cream everything, shadows, lips, cheeks etc. just way better application success.♥ 5source record 2130

Don’t wipe your face with your bath towel because it has bacteria. Use makeup eraser microfiber mini cloths for one time use and then throw it in the wash to reuse. I literally don’t get acne anymore!♥ 5source record 2142

I put facial oil over my under-eye concealer and setting powder, esp when I’ve been out all day and it’s getting dry and cakey. May decrease coverage a bit but apply lightly, rub it in gently, let it dry, and it remoisturizes everything and makes it look more natural. I use jojoba oil or any skin-safe oil. That and eating a ton of fruit (good for plumping wrinkles).♥ 0source record 2169

Boots Glycerin and Rosewater toner🤌🏽💋♥ 0source record 2173

Started contouring with tan. I contour my nose, cheeks, forehead with fake tanner and when I spend time in the sun, I'll put a thin line down the bridge of my nose to create a natural sculpted effect!♥ 0source record 2177

A lot of dallas baddies (iykyk) know this one- aquaphor in your moisturizer first, then underpaint tf out your face. Like crazy contour you shouldn’t be able to pull off to change how your face looks, it also takes so much time off the makeup routine.♥ 1source record 2283

Here is a tip guys in the bible God always tell us to mind our business but it does not just mean gossiping or being nosey. It also means to stop carrying about what other think, to stop entertaining people to make them like u. Also u know how when we were younger se would have crushes and would dress up and do over the top things for them. Well stop those guys. When u stop entertaining people and wanting their approvement u will feel less stress, less tired, less anxiety and u do will indeed glow, clearer skin and feel in peace. Ofc it is going to take a long time to stop worrying about other's opinion when ur whole life was surronded by it. But is okay 5 years,10 years no matter how long all it matters is u are improving. U will start to feel in peace and realize how beautiful u do indeed look.♥ 23source record 2219

The right haircut/stylist synergy was THE biggest glow up for me. It seems so obvious in retrospect that a haircut I’d chosen for myself for like a decade just wasn’t doing anything for me anymore. Now I get compliments on my hair every single time I leave the house, and I feel like even without makeup or a basic outfit my hair carries my personality and my style.

I pick an event and hype it up as motivation to take care of myself. 3 weeks out workouts/stretching will show a change if consistent, 2 weeks out skin/hair care will be noticable if I slack, 1 week out I am on-top of reducing inflammatory foods, getting hair n nails done, laundry, washing makeup brushes. By the time the event hits I look like I'm fully on-top of my life, when I start to slack again I pick a new event and do it over. I got one I'll be seeing my ex at in September but it's too far away to motivate my ADHD, but events like those I use to motivate myself to make doctors appointments or complete long term projects, even if it doesn't apply to it, I turn the anxiety and pettiness as fuel for bettering my life when there isn't enough self love to do it alone.♥ 1,158source record 1428

I used to go to a medi spa for laser treatments. One time the RN doing my fancy laser facial told me I was getting redness and acne from a dairy allergy. I’ve literally never had great skin since like 10. My dairy allergy got so much worse to the point where I needed to fully 100% cut it out of my diet to avoid stabbing myself with an epi pen. After about a week of being totally dairy free magic happened and my skin is flawless 🙃

The life-overhaul hacks

The most repeated advice cost nothing and had nothing to do with makeup. These nine habits came up 372 times — and pulled far more likes than any product.

Dump him (or at least decenter him)

58 coded comment records

Divorce, breakups and ignoring the male gaze doubled as skincare — roughly 147,000 likes agree.

I got divorced a second time and decided to stop taking on others’ dusty a$$ sons for partners and flourish independently. 💅♥ 1,883
stop putting my happiness & heart in a man's hands. got divorced. stayed single the last 6yrs. started investing in me. I look 10yrs younger than the day I left him.♥ 73
😂 i always get compliments for having good skin and when people ask for my routine or tips i say i don't talk to/date men♥ 7

Eat for vanity

55 coded comment records

Feed your hair, skin and gut on purpose — eggs, salmon, fiber, ferments. “Eat your skin care.”

Eat a diet for vanity. Hair health= eggs, salmon, avocados, sweet potatoes, lentils. Skin health= water, kiwi, berries, carrots, bell peppers. Gut health= Greek yogurt, kimchi, apples, onion, garlic.♥ 32,975
No processed foods. Eat your skin care♥ 289
Eating cucumbers everyday idk why but my skin was so healthy♥ 92

Quit drinking (the vape too)

52 coded comment records

The thread’s most repeated anti-aging tip: alcohol is “yummy, but still poison.”

Stopped drinking alcohol & stopped talking to men out of boredom♥ 55,835
Quit drinking. You want to look younger? Quit. Drinking.♥ 8,296
Two years sober and I stg my pores are 1/8 the size they were when I was drinking 🫶🏼♥ 1

Walk everywhere, stand tall

46 coded comment records

10–12k steps and fixed posture beat Botox for a startling number of commenters.

Focused on my posture and walk. People treat you differently based on how you carry yourself.♥ 51,860
I thought I needed Botox and filler but then I started walking 10-12k steps per day and I swear to you, it took years off my face.♥ 11,286
Walk. That’s it. That’s the hack.♥ 1,327

Drink water like it’s rent

42 coded comment records

Not for wellness — because it “pulls my face card from the depths.”

drinking water for my overall health? ❌❌❌ drinking water bc it pulls my face card from the depths? ✅✅✅♥ 9,531
Dumped my ex husband, started drinking more water, stopped doing most of my skincare, and started sleeping with a silk bonnet on. My friend’s grandma saw me after like 6 months of doing this and almost didn’t recognize me♥ 6

Cut toxic people, jobs & zip codes

35 coded comment records

Moving 1,079 miles away from your family counts as skincare now.

I moved 1079 miles away from my family.♥ 17,104
This is kinda sad but after my toxic boss left, I had significantly less hair fall and noticed that I was growing a lot of baby hair. I also started losing stubborn weight that I had been holding on for 2 years.♥ 5
Not a beauty hack really but cutting out bad friends instantly made me 10x happier and 100x prettier! 💕♥ 1

Delusional self-confidence

30 coded comment records

Gaslight yourself into being the hottest thing you’ve ever seen — commenters swear it works.

I strong armed myself into thinking I’m the hottest thing I’ve ever seen♥ 4,682
Fall in love with yourself. You’re gonna want to spoil her, make sure she’s eating right (and eating treats when she wants), drinking water, etc.♥ 3,982
Same! The delusion is delusioning and people are falling in love with me now!♥ 115

Strategic misdirection

28 coded comment records

The most-liked genre in the whole thread (~165,000 likes): let a haircut take credit for the facelift.

celebs do this whole new hair look post surgery to distract us lol♥ 339
I did the same when I had a breast reduction when I was a teacher. they knew I had been trying to lose weight leading up to surgery, took a month off, got s haircut, came back... everyone thought I looked dif cuz of hair and weigh♥ 1

Sunscreen, rain or shine

26 coded comment records

The least glamorous hack with the longest receipts.

Sunscreen religiously every day rain or shine since my my 20s. I’m 59 & nobody believes me when I tell them my age.♥ 565
avoiding the sun and a TON of sunscreen when you do need to go out. Become a vampire because they truly have the best anti-aging technique♥ 1

The drugstore heroes

When commenters did name products, they skipped the luxury counter. The most-vouched-for buys: beard dye, petroleum jelly and a bottle of fake tan.

Tinted moisturizer + SPF

19 coded comment records

The over-35 crowd’s foundation replacement.

Tinted moisturizer with SPF instead of foundation. Now that I’m older my face can’t handle foundation or concealer anymore. Looks horrible♥ 5,613
Agree! I’m 52 and switched from foundation to tinted moisturizer. I like Cetaphil brand.♥ 19

Beard dye — on your brows

18 coded comment records

Five minutes every three weeks: the thread’s favorite off-label hack.

Beard dye for eyebrows. 5 mins every 3 weeks keeps mine from being invisibly blonde♥ 1,779↑ Fact-checked in the answer index
I dye my eyebrows with Just For Men beard dye every two weeks and it really saves time on eyebrows♥ 14

Strip lashes & DIY lash lifts

17 coded comment records

Clusters from the drugstore and at-home kits replace the salon appointment.

Ardell natural fake eyelashes. They make my eyes pop and even if I wear no makeup, I still look good.♥ 151
i wear an eye mask to sleep every night but i put it on with my eyes open and then close them once the mask is on and it pushes my lashes up to give them a daily lash lift♥ 6

Vaseline & Aquaphor everything

15 coded comment records

Under concealer, over skincare, on forehead wrinkles — porcelain skin for pocket change.

Started using Vaseline or Aquaphor under my concealer for no creases♥ 625
Vaseline on top of the skincare at night. Totally unhinged 😆 My skin is like porcelain.♥ 558
My own dermatologist recommends baby shampoo as face wash and Vaseline right after the shower. And if it's winter and dry, a couple of drops of glycerin before the Vaseline. That's it! My skin has never been better.♥ 20

Fake-tan contour

14 coded comment records

A semi-permanent contour you don’t have to redo every morning.

I use fake tan for permanent contour, thank me later 🥰♥ 254
Fake tan contouring literally makes me look like a model when I wake up in the mornings when I started doing it I started getting compliments all day long with NO makeup on♥ 19

ChatGPT as personal stylist

14 coded comment records

Color-season and body-type analysis from a selfie — though one skeptic got a different season every time she asked.

Uploaded a pic of myself to chatgpt and had it analyze my color season and give me links buy new makeup. Also asked it to analyze my Kibbe body type and give me links for clothing. Everyone keeps saying I look “so pretty” now and it was just switching up a few things.♥ 924
Every time I ask it gives me different answers about color seasons♥ 30

Castor oil & beef tallow

14 coded comment records

The anti-10-step crowd’s entire skincare shelf.

Beef tallow is the only skincare I use. Helps acne and skin tightness. I used to get Botox and don’t need to anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️♥ 51
Castor oil and vanicream moisturizer - when blended cuts the stickiness of castor oil♥ 111

Lumify eye drops

13 coded comment records

“You’ll never realize how bloodshot your eyes were” — but read the warnings below before making it a habit.

Lumify. That’s it. You’ll never realize how bloodshot your eyes were before !!♥ 680
yes!! I use the drops when I want to have my best, most healthy looking day! I love them so much!♥ 1

Read the replies before you try it

Under nearly every hero product, someone with credentials — or scars — showed up to add the fine print.

It is absolutely NOT ok to use daily 😭. My opthanologist said he tells everyone to use it for special occasions ONLY

under the Lumify rave♥ 94

DO NOT USE THIS EVERY DAY. I ended up diagnosed with chronic dryness, directly linked to the use of drops like these. The preservative used causes corneal toxicity too with long term use.

under the Lumify rave♥ 13

✓ Supported, with contextWhat the evidence says: Preserved Lumify contains benzalkonium chloride, and chronic exposure to that preservative is associated with ocular-surface toxicity. That does not prove it caused this individual's diagnosis, and short Lumify trials found low-dose brimonidine generally well tolerated. The label permits no more than four doses daily but says to stop and seek medical advice if redness or irritation persists more than three days. Sources: DailyMed — Lumify redness reliever eye drops label · PubMed — benzalkonium chloride and ocular-surface toxicity review · PubMed — four-week low-dose brimonidine trial

it ruined my life lol. i have pcos and im middle eastern - it gave me paradoxical hypertrichosis. which means instead of removing hair, it increased x100 everywhere the laser touched. happens SO much but goes massively under reported.

under “laser hair removal is worth it”♥ 1

✓ Supported, with contextWhat the evidence says: Paradoxical hypertrichosis is a documented adverse effect. A 2021 meta-analysis estimated a pooled prevalence near 3%, concentrated on the face and neck; a 2025 prospective facial-laser study found associations with PCOS, menstrual irregularity, and Fitzpatrick skin types III-IV. The comment's 'x100' increase and claim that the effect is massively underreported are not quantified by those studies. Sources: PubMed — meta-analysis of paradoxical hypertrichosis after laser therapy · PubMed — prospective study of risk factors for paradoxical hypertrichosis

Be careful it sent me to the hospital, don’t skip the patch test pls learn from others mistakes 😭

under the beard-dye brow hack♥ 1

I did this for 5yrs straight and it RUINED my metabolism. I did it with intermittent fasting. It had me glowing for about 3yrs straight but calorie packing and not watching what you eat is a huge no no long term

under “one meal a day”♥ 3

Late gems almost nobody saw

These arrived days or weeks after the crowd had moved on — great advice, nearly zero likes.

Don’t save your cutest outfits only for big events, you can wear them more than once

posted day 88♥ 2

Target has a 2 pack - they’re 3 inch long for $11. The trick is to twist the hair on top of itself (like in a ballerina bun), catch some of the outer layer of twist and tuck it under an inner layer of twist. For a French twist - just twist it up, and tuck the ends in… A bouncy pony tail is just a French twist with the ends loose.

posted day 27 — the French-pin tutorial♥ 3

posted day 52♥ 0

If my eyes are puffy, I use a metal tea spoon dipped in warm water and then I dab my eyes with them. Reduces the puffiness.

posted day 38♥ 0

cut down on the face products, stuck to one cleanser one moisturizer, once sunscreen and my skin problem solved itself

A regulated nervous system is the ultimate glow up ✨

This is funny bc my MIL taught me to always schedule your hair appointment with your Botox appointment so people just think it’s your hair that’s different 🤭

the mother-in-law variant♥ 309

I got measured for a bra instead of trusting the size that I had measured and had fit. I was off by 3 band sizes and 3 cups. New bra, new woman 🤣😂

The source corpus contains 2,313 captured comment records: 275 top-level comments and 2,038 replies.

The complete index contains 265 independent top-level beauty advice, routine, or cautionary-claim records. Retain each intelligible, in-scope top-level comment verbatim as one record. Do not split multi-hack comments or merge similar advice.
