jesusgirl115 You are about to be flooded with questions!
Any tips for applying pencil eye-liner to your upper lid? I never leave the house without eye-shadow on (I know I'm crazy) but I always feel like my makeup is too 'fancy' for my attire (being skinny jeans, a tight v-neck shirt and converse) any colors you would recommend? or just suck it up and don't wear eye-shadow X D and my eyes are green.
Thank you so much for doing this!
Hello Jesusgirl115 blaugh It's no problem at all. Its actually easier it use liquid eye liner! You can get one at any drug or beauty supply store. It comes with its own bush, and its like drawing with a sharpie on your eyelids lol. Its easier to handle,easier to take off, and comes in like 15+ colors in some stores. I use the Elf Cosmetics Line you can get it at target and big stores like that. Ready for this too its only a dollar ! I know your probably thinking its not that good, but trust me ive bought liquid liners from MAC and Sephora and they dont even compare to the Elf Cosmetic line, and comes in 9 colors. Now when it comes to you going out with makeup. I defiantly understand, I remember i went to the hospital once and on the way there I was doing my makeup lol ! You have green eyes huh?. Well your in luck there is a lot of colors that look awesome with green eyes. Purples, blues, silver, gold, peach, champagne, brown all look amazing on green eyes. Now if you can use green on your lids, then on the corners of your eyes use dark brown and pull and blend that color into the crease,you can make a simple but awesome smokey eye for green eyes.(Dont forget the liner black liner on your top lid looks awesome with a smokey eye) I will see if i can find a pic to post later if i can. Well i hope that helped you. heart

A dollar is not bad at all! I'm totally willing to spend a buck and just see how it goes ; )
Thank you so much! I'll be sure to ask you if I have any more questions.

oOVintage CupcakeOo
Hi! This is a quite nice thing to do for us. Thank you! :3
Well, my personal concern is that I have combination skin that gets too oily during the summer (I live in a tropical island and the weather is killer for my skin). I only wear translucent powder for my face because anything else just melts into my pores. It seems. gonk Do you know what skincare products/routine I should try so that my face is not that oily looking anymore? Also, what is your opinion on bb creams? I've read/heard that it's a "miracle" cream that Koreans use and have been curious about it.
Hello oOVintage CupcakeOo blaugh You are vary welcome! I know what your mean I also have combination skin, and I lived in south Flordia for half of my life. My skin was dry, it peeled, and was oily. But since I had to deal with it for 12 years before deciding to move up north I also know how to deal with it now that im 23 lol. 4laugh Ok 1.Use a gentile cleaner ( mild foaming cleanser like Dove essential nutrients self-foaming cleanser. Its gentile enough to not irritate your dry parts, but tough enough to get your oil out)Also exfoliate your face. Exfoliation is a good thing to take off the dead skin cells, and for circulation of our face. But you do not want to exfoliate every day 2-3 times a week is enough with a gentile exfoliate. ( I use a exfoliate twice a week in gentile circular motions on my face, jaw, and neck. I use Clean &Clear deep action exfoliating scrub.) 2. Use a toner to repair your skin ( never use one with alcohol in it, because it will dry your face out like no tomorrow. Use a toner like Burt's Bees garden tomato toner) 3. Use a sunscreen year round (even in the winter here up north i still use a sunscreen before I apply before my makeup only about a quarter size covers my whole face.) 4. Spot treat the different skin types on your face this means the dry areas are gonna get a lotion then a apply a hydrating primer to the dry areas first then a matte finish foundation all over ( the reason i say a matte is because it dose not irritate dry skin and wont melt off of your oily areas.) ( a good matte foundation I use is Maybelline dream matte mousse foundation works great even on my oiliest days ) 5. Carry around oil absorbing sheets. You can get them at your local drug store say a part of your face is getting really oily, you pull a sheet out dab it on your face and boob oil is absorbed onto the sheet, and off of your face! ( A good one i carry is Clean & Clear morning burst oil absorbing sheets.) A light powder after you apply matte is fine as you are doing. But remember this is important you need to let your skin breath so do not wear makeup to bed, if you do your skin can acclly get worse. So cleanse, tone, and add a little sunscreen before bed and you should be doing fine. wink Now when it comes to BB Creams ( also know as blemish balm creams) It is originally made by a dermatologist from Germany. In 2005 a Korean actress started using it, and it became all the rage. I have not used it yet, but im interested in it as well. This is what they say about it online ( though you probably know lol)
* Provides perfect coverage like a foundation would but since it's not as thick, it doesn't clog the pores * Works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer * Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes * Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin * Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin * Contains UV Protection for healthy skin * Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits I would try it, it never hurts to test it. I hope this post helped you have a good day. heart

Shimo Kousetsu I've been wearing makeup for years and have never really "gotten it right" I don't think. gonk I have oily skin; if I put on foundation and then powder within thirty minutes my face is shiny. If I reapply powder it looks really made-up and fake. I recently started using a primer, but it makes maybe an hour's difference. Also, when I wear eyeliner/eyeshadow, within an hour it's either all over my upper lid or smeared away from oil+blinking. Any way to remedy? D:
Hello Shimo blaugh Well let me get some info about your foundation is it liquid, super matte,cream to powder,stick, gel, or matte? For oily skin types cream to powder foundations is best because it last longer. Its best to apply with a sponge though to cover evenly. Urban Decay Cosmetics surreal skin cream to powder foundation is really good. If you cannot get a cream to powder foundation then second best is a matte foundation. A good matte foundation which is a little cheaper is Maybelline dream matte mousse. You can use Clean and Clear oil absorbing sheets while you are wearing makeup, or even though the day when your not wearing makeup. They are these nifty little sheets that absorb the oils in your face without messing your makeup up. Just blot on oily spot and it will absorb.(You'll know because the sheet will become translucent, and of course your oil will be gone lol. ) Also never keep reapplying your makeup over itself, adding layers on top of layers just makes your makeup look cakey sad It's just better to take it off and do it again trust me. Now when it comes to the primer is it a liquid? I dislike personally liquid primer sad I prefer a cream to powder primer like they have at Sally's beauty supply for I think $ 4.50 it works so much better, and makes my makeup, and the model's I do makeup stay better, and look awesome. Ah the eyeshow sometimes a girls worst enemy lol. I use Elf cosmetics from Target I love them.( you can also buy it online on there site and its cheap but works amazing.) Using a power eye shadow over primer makes it stick. You can also use a finishing powder that is translucent over the eye shadow to make it stay a bit longer. Eyeliner is it pencil or liquid? I believe liquid actually stays longer on the top id. I do it in the morning, and it last all day. Pencil liner I only use for inside the waterline. Using a waterproof mascara works wonders as well. To get rid of oily skin all together remember to cleanse with a oil fighting clenser, a toner to get your ph levels of your skin in the correct ph ( which is slightly acidic) use sunscreen, and use a facial scrub for oily skin twice a week. I hope this helps any other questions please feel free to ask. heart

xena91388 HELP! gonk Look at this picture: ![User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.](https://graphics.gaiaonline.com/images/s.gif) See the green? When my face is relaxed, there are dark lines on the sides of my nose where the green lines are. Kind of like Itachi from Naruto, they are so dark they looked almost bruised! See the red color? Those are where dark giant pits form under my eyes when I smile! gonk It's like my lower eye lids and cheeks are mountains with a valley in between! For the lines I try to use concealer but it takes a lot to make them fade and by a lot I mean until it starts to look caked! Any tips? For the pits, I tried various methods from concealer to light eye shadow to brighten them up and make them less noticeable but when my face is relaxed, you can see the lighter strip where the make-up is! gonk Help!
Hello Xena91388 blaugh It's ok we all have problems like these ( mines are i got really dark circles under my eyes, and scars on my nose its evil to cover up sometimes but it can be done) Your's can be covered, and concealed too dont worry! Its all about colors actually on a color wheel ever see how one color like green is on one side and red is its opposite? Its the same when doing hair or makeup if you want to cover up something you got to cancel the color out by using the opposite color. Is under your eyes have a bluish, yellowish, orangish, purpleish, or a greenish tint to it? Depending on what color it is you can look on a color wheel to find the opposite color and use it. What im saying to use an opposite color you can buy at a dug store, Walmart, Target, or beauty supply store a great thing called color correction pallet i use the Elf Cosmetics color correction pallet its only $ 4.00 I think, and covers my imperfections up .Now if your problem is really bad which I dont know what extent it is, there is some stuff you can get online or at a beauty store called Camouflage makeup, its this awesome stuff usually a cream that covers all of life's imperfections dark circles, burns, scars, bruising ,tattoos . That will cover anything up. Online you can get medical grade but you probably dont need that one. Just apply the color corrector, or the camouflage makeup in upward strokes.till its starts to disappear then use a regular foundation then finishing powder, add a little white pencil on your water line it helps as well. Dont use a regular powder light eye shadow under your eyes it never works in my opinion. I only put it in the corners of my eyes tords my nose. If you are going to put any highlighter over the finishing power only thing i suggest is a bit of light shimmer that's it, dont rub too hard either. With the color corrector, or camo makeup, or both if you prefer it should defiantly noticeably help to cover your problems. I hope this helps heart
