makeup question:

Risk: chromatic blues and greens with gold

less risk: metallics with earthy reds

@Mainebot I'd definitely try the riskier option if I had something nice to wear with it, summin' peacocky

Less-risky option I'd take with just about anything

@nis_c yeah thats reasonable; I don't have anything fun to wear with it today. I -AM- wearing bright af neon leggings so maybe I'll still do some purple over the gold

Follow

@Mainebot Aw HECK yeah, that'll def pop 💜 If I were looking at this for myself I'd probably do summin' like a tan shirt with that.

Note to self: get colorful leggings
and more makeup
and-

@Mainebot YAS. Oh my goodness that's so good! 💜 I have an Urban Decay palette I need to use more. [If you've got any tips/guides, I'd be very grateful :ms_pray_paw:​ ]

[Ignore my fricked nails, I need to repaint them so badly]

@nis_c uhhhhh tips? do it a lot and it gets easier. Also, be way more generous with a translucent setting powder than you'd expect to be!

Less is more; dont' wind up looking like you punched yourself in the eyes like i Have more than once! Never neglect some lighlighter in the inner corners of your eyes; dark shades on the outer side, blend light to dark (because I like a little whoosh of color outwards) and purple and gold just work together.

that's the vid that helped me out but I can't be bothered to blend shit for fuck so I do my color correcting iwth my hands, then blend it fast, then do foundation with my hands, etc etc. Fuck it there are no rules.

OH

Always do mascara it's just the best thing.

re: enlengthening 

@Mainebot I hella appreciate all the info ;w; I'm planning on having a date soonish so I'll be sure to practice some before then! 💜

And YES, I absolutely love mascara. As a kid I was always complimented on my lashes e.g. by hair stylists, and they just rock all that much harder with that slick black goop.

re: enlengthening 

@nis_c aww you're welcome :) I hope the date goes well! I'm just finishing up here and I'll post a likely washed out selfie in poor lighting hahah.

If someone ever asks you for help, pay it forwards :)

re: enlengthening 

@Mainebot Thanks! I look forward to seeing the full ensemble.~ 💜 I'll try to drag my butt out of my computer chair today and mess around today.

And of course! I wouldn't be where I am without the help of others. I just need to wait for the "asking for it" part more often. >w>
