Rules
Click the links within each rule for more info!
Be kind and supportive, including to yourself. No harassment or name calling, bigotry, or self-deprecation. Constructive criticism is strongly encouraged, but it is not allowed on some types of posts. Post titles, descriptions, and comments must also not be self-deprecating, self-disparaging, or otherwise unkind in tone. Content implying requests for sympathy may also be removed.
No photo editing of any kind. This includes any photo alterations such as beauty filters, portrait modes, sharpening, contrast alteration, artificial bokeh, text overlays, and all but the most minor color corrections. Watermarking is ok.
Read our photo guidelines before you post!
"No Makeup Makeup" looks or other looks where the makeup is too subtle to see easily must have a before and after shot so users can see the difference the makeup makes.
Photo Quality and Composition: All photos must showcase the makeup clearly and be properly cropped. Images where the makeup cannot be seen well or the quality is too low for constructive criticism will be removed. "Selfie Angles" are strongly discouraged.
Product Lists. All makeup looks and collections must include a detailed product list in a top-level comment which includes every product used in the visible area, including even invisible products like primer and setting sprays. Product lists must include shade names if they exist. List must be placed as a top-level comment. Request exemption in modmail prior to posting if needed.
All fake blood/injuries must be marked NSFW.
No self-promotion of Youtube/social media/blogs/your business in your post title. Limited linking in comments is acceptable. No referral links, surveys, giveaways, or seeking to buy or sell!
Except during Friday Faves, remove products from packaging and open the product itself before posting. All Haul posts must include swatches and/ or a mini review of at least 3 products.
Image Sources. You may post images that are not yours for inspiration purposes, but they must follow the rest of the rules about photos and you must provide the source and clearly mark that you are not the creator.
Moderators reserve the right to make decisions deemed to be in the best interest of the subreddit. Moderators have the final say.
Violations of rules will result in your post being removed.
