Kinda frustrated the brand new neon green eyeliner I got recently is a broken pencil 💔 but I'm hoping there are ways I can still utilize the product. How do you guys DIY (or whatever lol) a broken product? Straight up crushing it up to make an eyeshadow is the only thing I have in mind so I hoped maybe if I asked, someone could give me more suggestions 😖 was kinda excited to try out a green look with my Invader Zim Gir dress 🥺

First picture is the before and last two are from today!

Products used were Charlotte Tilbury concealer, beauty of joseon tinted sunscreen, laura mercier loose powder and rare beauty pressed powder, danessa myricks balm and bronzer, elf blush, dentures highlight and blush.

I did everything lightly this time.

My eyebrows were recently laminated, tinted and threaded with facial mapping(brow artist wanted them thicker but I asked her to trim them to at least this size)

I am extremely new to makeup. When I’m out in public and someone asks, "Who did your makeup?" I’m always scared to answer because I don’t know whether they are about to criticize or compliment me. When I’m finished, I feel like I stand in the mirror picking apart every minor flaw. When did you stop feeling self-conscious and more confident? It can be really difficult to know if I’m doing it correctly when many of the videos I watch offer conflicting information or tips.

HELP PLEASE Can someone help me figure out how to do makeup on my droopy eyes?

Post image
• Upvotes

Whenever I look up makeup tutorials for downturned eyes, I feel like I can never find someone with eyes quite like mine! That might be a skill issue on my part or I just have particularly droopy ass eyes.

Does anyone have any advice? I’d love to do beautiful colors and more alt kind of looks (more rave than emo) but also would love to get any advice generally for like day to day. Like what keywords should I try? Is eye shadow even worth it for my eye anatomy? What styles can I pull off?

This is bare faced but I usually do concealer on the bottom and then foundation everywhere and then brow tint+gel and then usually a clear lash gel.

I’m only newly into makeup as part of my transition so my apologies if I’ve butchered any terminology!

DISCUSSION Has anyone else have had a hard time going from big dramatic fake lashes to natural ones?

3 Upvotes

I have been wearing fake eyelashes since I was 15. I am 23 now and it’s either I go ALL natural (no makeup at all) OR a full beat (always including fake eyelashes)

I’m trying to find a middle ground so I’m not wearing so much makeup on the daily. Recently I have been doing light mascara instead. But, I’m feeling very naked and something’s missing from my face (my lashes) and I hate it. I can’t feel confident without them.

Has anyone been through this same thing?

I have 2 questions.

1- I am 32 and I never touched my eyebrows. Never trim them, never put makeup on them. But everyone around me seem to include some eyebrow product in their makeup routine. Would I benefit to start doing that?

2- Also, as you can see, I have one eye smaller than the other. Is there a way to make them look a more similar size with makeup? I won’t do fillers.

I've never really been one to dabble in makeup other than mascara, eyeliner, brow pencil, and foundation. Like the basics. I don't want anything too heavy on my face.

I need product recommendations and color recommendations. Whatever you all would recommend for me, I would appreciate so much!

HELP PLEASE How to apply pencil lipliner?

I have relatively thin lips and a sort of undefined lipline, and whenever I try to use pencil liners, it looks like a drunk toddler did it. (See visual aid below.) I do better with the creamier automatic kind, but I have this one pencil I was hoping I could figure out. Thanks for any advice!

HELP PLEASE how to achieve this look??

Post image
16 Upvotes

How can I do this? I chose it because I don’t wear makeup often, and it seemed easier for a beginner like me. I want to achieve this eye look using minimal products.

I see a brown eyeshadow in it, but I’m wondering if there’s an alternative, maybe using kohl or something. My eyes are very similar to this, so I thought it would suit me. I don’t want to use eyeliner because whenever I try, I mess it up, and it makes my eyes look too wide. Plus, I can’t manage to create a wing : ((

HELP PLEASE trying to learn to do eyeliner but i'm unsure about eye shape, what kind of eyeliner would suit my eyes?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

sorry if this is a stupid question, i refused to touch eyeliner until much later so i don't have much knowledge

whenever i try to do eyeliner i feel like it looks awkward and doesn't fit my eyes, i did read about diffrrent eye shapes and what eyeliner styles fit for each kind of eye shape, but i'm honestly not sure what my eye shape even is (some self-assesment tests gave me "almond" but i'm not sure how accurate that is)

some traits:

i don't think i have hooded eyes, but my brow fat/skin does partially cover my top eyelids, my eyes are set slightly further back

my eyes are also on the smaller side with straight eyelashes

i also do unfortunately have a bunch of eye lines along with tear throughs :,)) i'm 22 but my skin genetics aren't the best

my main question is: what style of eyeliner do you think would fit my eyes? or which one i should try?

i appreciate all suggestions and help! thank you for helping me out

HELP PLEASE Henna brows…

Post image
9 Upvotes

I wanted to try something new because my eyebrows are thin, sparse and have no shape. I said I wanted fluffy looking henna brows.

I don’t know if I’m over reacting or if they will settle because I’ve never had henna brows done before…. Is it me or do they not look very professional? I feel they’re two different shapes? The start of them are quite blocky. Particularly the left one isn’t a very flattering shape like quite low?

She also offered threading which I said no to because I hate threading (the last time I had it done was awful) but there was no attempt to even pluck at some of the uneven bits.

They looked ok in the salon but now I’m home I’m just not sure.

I have a wedding next week and I’m panicking!

Am I being unreasonable here?

What is a good every day highlighter for someone who does a full face everyday? I am super pale, 110 in the fenty foundation. Green eyes and brown hair. I typically do dramatic pink eyeshadow or a brown with light gold on days I’m lazy.
