What beauty item would you love to find but never can?

[Feedingthebirds1]

With thanks to @MrsPear for starting the what item of clothing would you love to find but can't, what beauty item ditto? Makeup/skincare/hair/tools?

For me, an oil free, silicone free but long wearing foundation the colour of an extra milky latte coffee.

Something that would make me look young and beautiful.

@WhoppingBigBackside I think there are a fair few that wishes for that
And you’re welcome @Feedingthebirds1 it would be lush flying Fox shower gel which is no longer made. An item I can never find is something that actually covers my dark circles without heavy coverage.

Mineral sunscreen that doesn’t feel like mineral sunscreen. So much wasted money on stuff that sits on the back of the shelf or is given to friends because I can’t stand wearing it.

@Feedingthebirds1 I’m about to recommend a foundation potentially not sold in the UK but it’s amazing if you every come across it... Makeup Forever Watertone. The only foundation I’ve ever worn and I constantly get compliments on it. With oily skin types you do need to powder throughout the day though.

@MrsPear have you tried Tarte creaseless concealer?

A hair product that tames my wavy, frizzy, bushy hair and actually keeps it frizz free when there's a bit of moisture in the air, but isn't greasy or oily.

A product to thicken my once thick but now thinning hair.
I know there are plenty of products on the market. But do any of them work🤷‍♀️

Fenjal talc

@TTCAbroad no I haven’t - I’ll have a look thanks

@TTCAbroad that foundation is available on feelunique.com - is it really amazing?

A product which acts as polyfilla for large pores.

I have tried the benefit blue tube primer which promises to do this, but nope…

I have heard good things about Trinny London blur…

The perfect my-lips-but-better lipstick.

Does anyone know where I can get 2nd skin foundation from max factor in warm almond? It was withdrawn a few years ago and I got some from EBay for a while but no more. It's incredible, lovely coverage, takes 10 years off your face, does not crease into wrinkles, is glow and dewy. Perfect but can't find it anywhere. I would pay three times the price it was, possibly more if I could get it?

@ChiefInspectorParker yes! Would be great for adults and children.

I would love an actual non-chip nail varnish...and a facial antiperspirant!

A natural looking, lightweight skin tint that works for oily skin - why do cosmetic companies assume that I want 36hour wear, super matte, full coverage just because I'm oily?!?!

Something that successfully covers (or cures) dark shadows around the eyes. Had it as a teenager and now, in my mid 40s, it's back, back, back!

@AlwaysReadyForABlether It’s really been an all-rounder for me. I see they are marketing it as a ‘skin-tint’ these days but it photographs so well and looks natural. It sort of just blurs out any pigmentation to create a lovely base. I wore it for my wedding as did my sister for hers. If you’re looking for a full coverage foundation give their Ultra HD a try which also gets outstanding reviews (but a silicone base)!

An eye make up remover that truly removes make-up without leaving me with puffy eyes and panda smudges in the morning.

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar Bobbi Brown used to offer this as a feature - maybe still do? I found sand wash pink recommended by them absolutely perfect.

(Also ignoring some random trend from a few years back saying that a lipstick that matched the colour of your nipples would be the most flattering. I can't imagine the faces if I turned up at a beauty counter, whipping up my T-shirt and said "match this"!)

I like the nivea one, tried lots many more expensive but always come back to it.

@Winederlust

A hair product that tames my wavy, frizzy, bushy hair and actually keeps it frizz free when there's a bit of moisture in the air, but isn't greasy or oily.

Me, too. And I live in the Southern US where the weather varies from humid to more humid to very humid. And as I have aged, my hair is even more coarse, frizzy, and unmanageable.

I've been looking for a scissor shaped tweezer with the right grip. Impossible. The grippy part is either blunt or too small.

A lipliner the colour of my actual lips - all the 'nude' ones I've tried are far too brown-toned, and the pink ones are either too purple-y or too dark.

Have you tried a clear one @DubiousGoals?

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar

The perfect my-lips-but-better lipstick.

I had one by Barbara Daly for Tesco. If I'd known it was being discontinued I would have stocked up. It was the perfect colour and texture

A hair toner that matches the ones in hairdresser so it doesnt cost £££ between visits
