Anonymous asked : I was curious to know what brand of Liquid eyeliner you recommend? |
I’m honestly the worst person to ask because I don’t like liquid liner. I’ve yet to find a brand that doesn’t feel like it’s searing itself into my eyelids (I have sensitive skin). I CAN recommend gel liner, though! http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/eye-products/eye-liners/gel-liner.html So many cool colours and they apply like a dream and it doesn’t fade or smudge until you wash your face. Plus they’re pretty decently priced! | |

Anonymous asked : For years I didn't wear make up, and now I'm 18 and I feel like I've missed my "experimental" age when it comes to learning how to put it on and not look like a mess, but the fact is, I'm NOT good at applying anything. I /want/ to be able to go out and look nice in make up, but I don't know where to start! Do you know any tutorials? Supplies? What make-up brands to work with that wont kill my budget? Hell, anything is better than nothing. Please and Thank you! |
Hi! Thanks for the message, though I apologize in my lateness on answering. You absolutely have not missed your experimental stage, nor have you shot past the mark where it’s too late to learn. It is never too late to learn. A good place to start is Youtube. There is a whole community devoted to helping the average person become a colourful glamazon. Watch beauties like vintageortacky, goldiestarling, nikkietutorials. You will, with practice, be able to hone and shape your own style by watching them, I promise. As far as supplies, invest in a few key brushes, namely for the eye area. ELF has a really cool little brush kit that’s perfect for beginners and is also easy on the wallet (x). Makeup brands-you do not have to buy from the department store to get a good product. Revlon is one of the best brands I know and you can find it in just about any drugstore or Walmart. And Loreal’s HIP eyeshadows are among some of my favourite. I actually have every available shade, that’s how much I love the product. And shop indie! Brands like Glamour Doll Eyes, Concrete Minerals, Rockeresque Beauty, and Sugarpill are reputable and quality without putting a dent in your savings. | |

Anonymous asked : Hi this is in no way meant to be taken in an offensive way I swear I'm just really curious: would you ever wear some of the more bold, colorful looks out of the house? Or are they more suited to parties/events rather than day-to-day wear? Thank you! :) Your make up looks are absolutely gorgeous, by the way!! :) |
I don’t abide by the day wear rule. I dictate what is suitable to wear and when. But to answer your question: I have and I DO wear the more bold looks out of the house, and frequently. I’ve even earned the nickname Make Up Face because of it. To me, people should not feel bridled by rules when it comes to makeup. It’s about what you’re comfortable with and I am most comfortable wearing a lime green lid out in the daytime. :) | |
