    This is an old one but since we were talking about false eyelashes I thought I’d post it - this is me after taking my wig off following a mod-themed party last year. My white matte lippy did NOT hold up! But my gigantic eyelashes stayed on! I was going for a “mod dolly” look with really heavy lashes and they bugged me less than I thought they would.

    I put on makeup today and although the eye makeup felt like a ton, it doesn’t even really show up on camera. I guess it’s only mascara and brow powder, i dont have any eyeliner or eyeshadow at the moment. The thing I hate about face makeup is that I feel like it ages my skin a lot. It highlights every wrinkle. I do like mascara but I’m so fair that I feel like it looks ridiculous without a full face on. I don’t know what I’m doing and I get easily discouraged when it takes an hour to take a selfie that I don’t hate. I applaud you ladies for your beautiful close-ups, that is way out of my comfort zone. Trying this out gives me a new appreciation for what an art form this is and how much skill it requires

    Great look!

    I'm super fair too, but mascara is the only thing that I actually think looks good on my face. I've tried going the brown route with mascara, but that feels like barely a step up from my white blond lashes when you get more than a foot away. I only use it on my upper lashes and go with an eyeshadow that pretty much matches my skin. Then I dont feel like it makes my eyes look smaller, my lashes don't interlock when I blink, and it highlights what I think is my best asset - the shape of my eyes. Mascara may also be the only thing I can apply appropriately and adequately.

    Okay, I looked through my IG stories and of all the lipstick i have this was the number one winner according to my followers who voted (mostly my mom- thanks mom). It however, is not my personal favourite. But I do love Bite Beauty lipstick!

    I can see why it was number 1, it's a very natural shade and it's perfect with your colouring!

    Agreed! This is like a perfect nude lip look for you 😍

    Old selfie, almost 5 years ago after a graded research presentation in my final semester of college. This was a "thank God it's over" smile of relief. I have not worn lipstick in over 7 months.

    New lip colours

    I like them both, the lighter one really suits you but I like the bolder red as well. Very pretty

    Your lips look perfect. Do you use a lip liner? My lips are always in rough shape, I cannot imagine mine being this smooth 😅

    Thanks! I can confirm this was a good pic, my lips are usually in rough shape (I live in a cold dry climate). I think for this pic I used a sugar scrub and regular lip balm first. No lip liner, I don’t use lip liner but should especially with darker/bolder colours. It’s just pure laziness that I don’t and I don’t own one. BUT I would like to buy those clear ones so I don’t have to get liner for every colour of lipstick.

    I’ve never had a “blow out” either. But I’ve also not been to a salon in many years.🤷🏻‍♀️

    This does not compute.

    Does it count if I’m still a licensed barber/cosmetologist. I have trust issues with people who do hair since they like to chop my hair right off.

    this literally happened to me just today :(

    Happened to me two years ago in december and I still haven’t been able to go back

    But i need to bad

    Yeah, I don’t get it. It’s been 7 years for me. 🙄

    @sweet_ermengarde
    Oh no! I’m sorry. I’m sure you look great but it’s principle of the matter. I know how/why it happens sometimes. But the last time it happened she just wanted to do it.

    okay she is literally my best friend or one of four or five people that are my best friend so i trust her but it’s short and i hate it and the only person i showed said i probably didn’t look like a boy

    I always look like a boy with short hair, a hat on, or in a ponytail 😒

    which is why i'm attempting to grow my 1/2 inch hair out. i'm in for the longggggggggggggg haul

    You and me both @MiNinaLisa. A clear liner sounds more cost-effective and time-efficient too!

    For sure! I’ve never used one so I can’t speak to how they work but can confirm they exist! I think Urban Decay has one too.

    I just use the clear wax eyebrow pen from Elf as a lip liner or entire base.

    I don't generally wear makeup, but I am participating in a Rocktober challenge on Smule and thought I should put in some effort. Mecurochrome in the hair to boot. I don't even recognize me, but I don't think it looks too bad

    wow! you look gorgeous! your eyes and hair are BOOM, Lady! :)
