TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Honestly i'd love to do that but not bcs I am that typical gay man, but my skin is just too sensitive to break up (I've tried couple of times). I'd rather to use basic skincare only like moisturizer, serum, facial wash, mask, toner etc

Make up it's not for me especially many are formulated for women
literally i stopped using foundation cos it was making my face a landmine of pimples

that maybelline age rewind concealer tho😻

it's so counterproductive tho cos i need both concealer and foundation to cover my spots but the more i cover them the more worse they become... but I refuse to show up to an interview looking like I'm dying...it's a perpetual cycle haha
 
How about you start with K-beauty concealer with low coverage and high in moisturiser for a natural look. Traditional concealer can be quite cakey and easy to spot.

For eyeliner, I suggest you should try brown instead of black to soften the look. Not that strong makeup looks are bad, but just in case.

I’m a girl but haven’t worn foundation in years, I think it’s unnecessary!! My routine is concealer, cream bronzer, cream blush (rhode pocket blush in shade ‘sleepy girl’ iykyk), loose powder, mascara, a bit of highlighter… its makeup but its not MAKEUP if ygm. Foundation makes me look like I have a mask on and it breaks me out too!!

Also gotta make sure to do a good skincare routine beforehand. Medicube zero pore toner pads make my base literally flawless. Then sunscreen ofc, medik8 vitamin c and Tatcha dewy moisturiser. The best!!

I’ll stop now hahah I just love beauty😍

yep yep I was going to recommend you look at some korean products cos generally they're more gentler on the skin. I like using 3CEs tri-colour concealer pots to colour-correct precisely (so for like spots and stuff)(so like use the green to cancel out red pimples, and pink/coral to help with purple eyebags), and then I know Laneige formulates foundation cushions with serum infused in them - but plenty of other good brands too

and agreed with the brown eyeliner! I use brown personally and it defo looks a lot more natural (or you can just use eyeshadow and a sharp brush).

like Donna, I can go on and on about this but yea!! you don't need too many products at all. I would also just try ensure you add some colour back to your face, so I always carry around a lipliner - it can double as blush, lip colour, and under-eye eyeliner/ light eyeshadow lol

Lol haha same, I tried my sister's one and it turned out to pimples just one night. I also tried to apply tinted sunscreen, but it makes even worst too. I hate L'OReal and olay, never tried Maybelline, but I'm curious Abt Korean products, its price and quality wise sound great, thx gal esp @elle woods

Same, the only foundation that suits me is my mom's Dior foundation stick(?). But my Innisfree tone-up sunscreen is god-sent.

no worries! lmk if you want any specific recs! it usually takes a bit to find out what works for you (esp for each person's unique skin composition), but once you do, they'll become your holy grails haha

(and you might be able to find some dupes for more expensive luxury brand items haha)
 
Does anybody know if TopScore automatically submits your work when time is up, I clicked save at the end but not submit and am now scared my submission didn't go through.
I did this exact thing on a WE, I didn’t even click save, the time ran out and I hadn’t submitted. I emailed grad recruitment to check it had gone through and it had - so should be all good!
