who thought thick, dark lipliner would ever look good? :|

>>6407804
The 90s.

>>6407784

Anything for guys?

should i self post?
a lot of people were pretty impressed (shocked) when i posted my no makeup photo

>>6407844
Do it!

This is obviously recent yet it features the thick liner.

this type of makeup is what you usually see in pageants or on drag queens too.

>>6407850
before

just this

>>6407858
after

only editing was on lighting, and removing a couple bumps, scabby things from picking at my acne.
no change in facial structure, or photoshop makeup.

>>6407855
i think the spectacular transformations alone are why i adore drag queens

>>6407858
Whoa. Uh. Charms. You look a lot different without makeup. It you plan to continue touting "omg 9/10 facial aesthetics" like you do when you selfpost in those /fit/ threads... then you should probably delete that before anyone else sees it.

having trouble replying to posts sorry.

I'm literally saving all of these! Post more :D
>>6407822
This was really awesome and to the next person who says "you don't need makeup", I'm linking this.

>>6407873
WOAH

>>6407872
i like my face without makeup

as for my "i haven't washed my face, brushed my hair, or done anything but sit in bed all fucking day" face-
wouldn't leave the house like that
actually yes i would i don't give a fuck

>>6407864
Holy crap. You look kind of scary with those contacts. Maybe that's my fear of dolls speaking, but yeah, that difference....WHA

>>6407873
holy hell. would smash either way

>>6407881
it's weird, i've worn contacts for so long that i feel like my eyes look weird without them when wearing makeup.
without makeup it's fine, but with makeup it's like "my eyes are... missing something"
i have tried to go without contacts for a very long time in real life- in photos that i give a fuck about (like the one i posted) i still pretty much always wear them, but i just can't break the feeling.

Eurgh. Threads like this are the reason I don't wear makeup.

Why not post /fit/ transformations?

>>6407873
I can't even tell the before from the after, holy poop.
If it's a chick, I want her stubble secrets.

Still not a fan of the "raccoon eye" type of heavy eye makeup some girls sport.
>pic related

>>6407864
The eyes are a bit eerie to me. A matter of taste I guess.

>>6407891
I guess I can understand in some way. Do your eyes become irritated in any way from wearing them so often? The thought of buying contacts online always sketches me out.

I actually think a little concealer on your bare face would suit you better than the other pic. The liner in the after photo doesn't quite suit your eye. yo were going for the popular gal look right?

A gal-ish look w/o lenses! It's practically impossible to find one of these nowadays.

I agree wholeheartedly. I had believed for tyhe longest time that people who were pretty w/ makeup MUST be pretty without too but after coming across a couple of these I was totally blown away. Makeup can do wonders.

>>6407864
So basically the "only" editing was turning up your contrast and lighting to hide what was left of your bad skin after photoshopping it to hell? lol

came across some before pics of korean celebs in a blog. anyone interested?

I look like such a stereotypical ugly asian. I really should learn how to apply makeup well; this is amazing.

>>6407804

>That chin/jaw difference

>>6407969

Good news is Asian makeup is easymode. Be thankful you don't have one of the dozens of slightly different Caucasian face or eye shapes. Finding a good look is basically just mix and match until something works.

>>6407864
That isn't an after makeup picture. It's an after photoshop picture.

Excuse the selfpost, but gyaru-style makeup (and circle lenses) is fucking amazing.

>>6407974
And another of the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxumLj-zn-c&feature=related

Most women look washed out and ugly without makeup. In other mindblowing news, the pope is catholic.

>>6407991
Do you wish you were white or something?

>>6407809
whhaaa he was a chubby kid?

>like such a stereotypical ugly asian

You can do a multitude of things to hide flaws.
let me highlight some examples.

>wide jaw: Get front layers cut to just above jawline, it'll contour your face, making it appear narrower

>small eyes: eyelid tape helps give the eye a rounder appearance. DO NOT LINE your entire eye with dark eyeliner.

>wide nose: apply dark powder along the sides of the bridge, apply a thin strip of white powder/pan stick foundation over T zone and along nose bridge.

>>6408005
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

I'm all for wearing makeup and crap, but I kinda get uncomfortable with drastic changes like the ones ITT. Don't these girls have huge self confidence issues with their natural looks? Are they able to leave the house without makeup?

>>6407991
Homegirl, you're excused. And adorable.

These bother me a lot because not you, /cgl/, but men generally can't judge people's beauty in an accurate way. Most of these pictures include make-up, yes, but none of these girls had plastic surgery (I'm aware koreans and other girls have had it, before you jump on me. I'm talking about the ones who did not) and their features are the EXACT FUCKING SAME with or without make-up/hair/eyebrow shaping/mustache removal. Then guys go all "HOLY SHIT I SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN GOING OUT WITH A GIRL IN CASE SHE'S A SHAPE-SHIFTER" but... yeah. They are not shape-shifters, they just even out their skin and some other minor stuff.

Men are fucking stupid.
And yes, I am generalizing.

>>6408022
Why the fuck would you get 'uncomfortable' about it? How does it affect you?

>Do you wish you were white or something?

How many times have I hears this? NO, she's not trying to look "white" any more than a blonde girl dying her hair black is trying to look Asian/black. She's a gal/gyaru. It's a makeup look popular in East Asia. Large eyes and light hair are considered attractive all over the world. Some girls who follow the fashion exhibit strong Neoteny too.

>>6408044
Are you trying to convince me or yourself, you ugly gook.

>>6407991
Do you have any pictures with a more natural makeup? I can't help but to feel that would be really attractive on you! Although you do pull of Gyaru well too.

>>6408038
Men are retarded when it comes to makeup. Conversation I had with a former friend,
Me: I can't get lashes as pretty as yours even with an eyelash curler and mascara
>Lol Anon, you don't wear makeup
Uh, yes I do.
>I've never seen you wear makeup
I've worn makeup every day since before I met you
>But, but you don't carry around a makeup bag or anything

>>6408044
All that over saturation to make noses go away...

>you ugly gook.

But I'm not Asian...Just tired of hearing thae samwe old "DOES SHHE WANT TO BE WHITE TROLOLO?!" comment about those girls. A change in haircolor/eyecolor does not mean said person wants to of another race.

>>6408080
Are their eyes actually getting rounder? Or just their iris getting bigger?

>>6407920
nope. the only issue i ever had was the first time i put them on i didn't rinse of the contact solution and it really bothered my eyes.
asked a eye doctor, told me to rinse them with water. i asked if that was okay, since it says not to, he says it makes the contacts go bad faster but it wasn't dangerous.

>>6407951
i think all i did was remove the yellow from that photo. i don't turn up contrast much, i just take pictures in natural day light.
i can look for the original if anyone wants?

>>6407989
nope. i should find the original.

>>6408080
Oh wow... 2nd down in the right-hand column...

The girls who surgically enlarged their eyes in the previous post look very otherworldly...in a bad way. why would they do that to themselves?

>>6408088
>>6408080
woah... is there a directory like that of that agency's work on women of other races? i can imagine than if they're good enough, people will fly from all over the world to permanently look more feminine

>>6408107
Dat skin bleaching. She looks ill. The new chin looks odd too in the profile shot.

>>6408097
found it.

>>6408117
I like the middle one for both of them most.

>>6408022
I know what you're saying anon. I used to NEVER wear ANY make up at all. Then I started using more make up and the first few times I did it, I felt like an ass clown because I looked so different. Now I just wear brow liner and mascara, and I save my more intense make up for special events such as weddings and conventions. I now feel that my more drastic make-up is empowering instead of strange, but I think part of it is due to the fact that I only wear it to special occasions and it has become part of my "character", for example the character I'm cosplaying as.
Pic related. On left I'm wearing absolutely nothing but circle lenses. In the middle is my "drastic makeup" pulling all the stops, and on the right is my normal everyday look. Also the lighting in my bathroom is shit. Right is what my skin color normally looks like.

>>6408111
Foreigners travel to Korea every day for plastic surgery, they've quite honed their technique

>>6408088
The under-eye-bag asian thing going on is SO POPULAR right now, and if it's natural or well done it looks cute, and usually it photographs really well, but HOLY SHIT if you see this in person and it's a bit too much IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE MAGGOTS UNDER THEIR LOWER EYELID SKIN

MAGGOTS
IN THEIR EYES
Just... really creepy when it goes overboard.

>>6408138
It's cute when it's subtle, those women went overboard

>>6407997
Nope, I did this for a tutorial video on this particular style of makeup because I like challenges.

>new chin looks odd
You don't know how popular that protruding chin is in various parts of china do you?

They look like two different people to me.

>>6407822

I wonder what all of the inbetween stuff was?

>Are you all the same person? Seriously, lrn 2 reply.

not my fault mang, browser wont allow me to quote posts no matter how many times I click on the post #

>>6408181
There's a few things with the camera certainly. It moves further away from her face and the lighting is A LOT softer between the first and last photos.

She also doesn't appear to show the step where she adds eyeliner? Look at the photos before and after the close up on the eyelash curler.

>>6408160
Those chins look like they can kill with one hit.

>>6408213
lol Felice doesn't count, she shoops as much as Koti

sage cause lol these ridiculous bitches

>>6408213
lmao that's more photoshop than makeup. is this an efagz invasion or something because i'd rather you keep her over there

>>6408087
>>6408107
Guys I don't think they are surgically making their eyes larger. They're getting double-lid surgery + the under eye bag effect that is popular.

Also on a side note, the procedure isn't just something Asian people do.
http://www.plasticsurgery.org/Cosmetic-Procedures/Eyelid-Surgery.html

>>6408213
She looks so gorgeous in the first picture. Like, living doll gorgeous. Then in the second she looks like some po faced chav.

>>6408223
Except almost all of these are old people getting their droopy lids lifted. Not the same thing really.

>>6408223
I really don't get the undereye bag effect thing, I have that puffiness naturally and I want it to GO AWAY, the puffy eyes makes them look tired and sick

http://kpsurgery.tumblr.com/

Pages and pages of this crap.

>>6407873

More boy-to-girl/girl-to-boy?

>>6408231
Young people can have droopy eyelids too but yes. My point was that it's something people of any race get done if that's what they want to do.

>>6408222
I second this. I post on efagz too and can we stop posting FF over here please? I can understand Dakota getting her 15 minutes over here and hell we even happily shared PT with you guys.
No felice though, lets try to keep her contained in that cancer part of tumblr.

>>6408235
I'm with you on this. It's interesting how most people on this side of the pond want to get rid of bags/puffiness but they are workign to get that look,.

>>6408197

I meant all of the dots after she did foundation

>>6408250
This thread is about transformations. I dont give a shit if it is Felice Fawn or not. Efagz does not own the rights to her, you know.

>>6408269
This is an example of good makeup, imo. It doesnt look obvious or caked on, it takes away her flaws and emphasizes her good features.

>>6408022
Well that's your opinion and that's fine.

But think about how many comments and threads are in cgl everyday targeting people for their ugly natural look.

There's only two choices. An ugly natural look that people are going to ridicule.

Or a fake / made up beautiful look. You can't have both. Naturally pretty is not an option.

>>6408297
Oh wow, she's absolutely beautiful with or without makeup.

>>6407873
S-sara? Is that you?

>>6408297
holy fuck
are you real?
like
dat bone structure

>>6408088
i keep seeing this picture, and i really hate what she did to her nose and jaw.

such a shame, she already had great bone structure.

>>6407858
To be honest, I like this better than the other. With a just some coverup on the spots and a bit of mascara, you'd be gorgeous. Just my opinion, though,

Can some of you post stars with "hooded eyes" more of a western shape?

I wanna advance on my makeup skills but I can't seem to get it right..

Wow...I just took a before and after picture of myself with makeup because I wanted to see how it looked, and it seriously made almost no difference. I think I just really suck at applying makeup

>>6408426
It's not an actual picture, but I do have this. It's kind of nifty.

>>6408426
Ooh! And I have this!
Different anon btw.

>>6408426
Certainly not a star, but I was told recently I have hooded eyes; hope this helps.

>>6407784

Any ftm crossplay make up?

>>6408454
ehhh, sorry for shitty quality by the way. Probably didn't help.
I've read that some stars who have hooded eyes include Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Drew Barrymore (used to have them.)

>>6408426
Tutorial time!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QmSofaRSp5k

>>6408485
you can watch makeup tutorials done on (most) Asians, a natural hooded eye is basically the same thing as a monolid.

>>6408462
I made this quite a while ago, it's not very good and I do plan to make a better one someday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reo8FuLWBX4

I used something similar for my Kid cosplay (pictured), and see >>6407991 for pic of me without makeup.

>>6407828
Not the same chick. Those eyebrows don't lie.

>>6407873
Wait, which is the before and which is the after?

>>6408509
She could have plucked them. Her facial structure is the same...looks like the same person to me, just grew out of her ugly duckling stage.

>>6408499
This is one fugly bitch.

>>6408502

>Have hooded eyelids
>There are still folds when my eyes are closed.

Well, fuck.

>>6407804
Namie is a god.

>>6408499
Ponyo!

i wish plastic surgery was cheap as fuck here in the states
i'd be all up in that business

>>6408554
No way, she would have to get rid of 80% of her eye brow to get that high brow bone, put it all above these new eye brows. Too bad the second pic has the ear blocking because the first girl holy shit that is a big ear lobe.

>>6408921
Isn't she just raising her eyebrow...?

Have Pony's makeup books been scanned yet?
I can only find a few pages.

>>6408921
It's the same girl. Her cheek dimple is in the exact same place, given her mouth is open in one and shut in the other.

>>6408979
I agree. She just grew up, ditched the acne, got contacts, shaped her brows, and got layers in her hair + possibly dyed it [doesn't look quite as dark in the "after" pic].

>>6409001
Yeah. It's also definitely her, because the upper eyebow (part unplucked) is identical. Same length, goes to the exact same part of her face, same shape. The inside (underneath) is different obviously, but it's still the same eyebrow.

Holy shit, this is amazing.
.... can someone recommend some cheap products? I'm a complete make-up noob. I have some liquid foundation but I know you're supposed to put other things down on your face, too. If I remember right, moisturizer and then maybe the liquid foundation, then powder and.... I'm not sure what else.
Oh, and is there supposed to be a pore-reducing base? I'm not sure.

>THIS THREAD IS PROOF THAT WITH ENOUGH MAKEUP, CAMERA/LIGHT TRICKS AND PHOTOSHOP, ANY FUCKING PERSON IN THE WORLD CAN BE A MODEL.

>>6409091
In some cases people just had to grow out of the ugly duckling phase, clear their skin if need be, and drop pounds.

This makes me feel very grateful for looking great without makeup. Although it's gotten me thinking how much better I would look with it.....maybe I will try.

Every tutorial says that you can use any eye makeup technique for almond shaped eyes. Is that true? I would really like something more specific.

>>6409069
You typically cleanse, moisturize, apply sunscreen (wait 10 minutes), apply primer (wait 10 minutes), then apply foundation. You can set it with a loose or pressed powder afterwards, or a setting spray. I prefer setting sprays as I dislike the finish powder gives to the face.

I can't really recommend any cheap products as all of my experiences with drug store brands have been unpleasant.

If your cleanser is drying your skin, or making it feel tight, it's a bad cleanser.

>>6409091
Kiiiiiind of. But you forget:

With Makeup:
Unattractive person becomes attractive
Attractive person becomes SUPER attractive

>>6408426
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4J_RrbsxRc

>>6409173
I just cleanse, apply cream, apply foundation, apply powder. I'm not outside during winter so I can skip the sunscreen, and primer to me is unnecessary for daily wear. Just another toxin going on your skin - I'd rather skip it.

If necessary, save it for big events.

>>6409069
I've posted this once before, but here's everything I love to use.

I go like; Wash face, Toner, Moisturizer, Primer, Foundation, tiny bit of Powder, tiny bit of Blush, light Mascara, Lip liner & Lipstick OR just a Revlon Lip Butter. The look I always go for is as close to natural as possible, but with a hint of girlyness so that I don't look tired/shitfaced but I don't look like I'm wearing much makeup either. I never use eyeshadows. Rarely use eye liners either. A little makeup really does go a long way though.

>>6409182
I wear an spf 60 PA+++ sunscreen everyday simply as a means to prevent aging.

And for special events in which you would be photographed, sunscreen isn't appropriate because it can create a white cast to the face.

>>6409199
It only prevents aging if you're in the sun.

You can skip it if you aren't. There are actually studies that say the ingredients in sunscreen can also age and damage your face. It's only worthwhile if you'll be outside for a time.

>>6409188
not the same poster who asked for cheap products, but... i'm also new to make up. how do girls achieve a nice, natural smooth looking face (that doesn't look cupcaked) with foundation only , and how do they make it last long?

i've used foundation primer and it seems like my foundation just tapers off throughout the day.

>>6409245
Not anon you're replying to obviously, but I use either bb cream and a mineral veil powder or primer/foundation/mineral veil powder. This stuff is finer and will make your face look slightly matte and gives the bb cream/foundation some staying power without being really "fake" looking.

Also, how long your foundation lasts may depend on your skin type? Is your skin oily/combo oily? If so, you may need to change up the type of foundation you use.

>>6409245
You need to use a good foundation.

I've tried A LOT in the past few years. The one I swear by, which is godly, is Dior Nudeskin (50$). It's expensive, so I've tried long and hard to find a replacement. Every drugstore one sucked major ass, looked caked on, crumbled, moved around on my face creasing and looking greasy, and made me breakout.

The only other good one was Make Up Forever Professional (45$? can't remember) Still not as good as Dior. But nearly so...

Lesson: DO NOT SKIMP ON PRICE when it comes to foundation.

>>6409258

ah i see! i'll look into those. do you personally prefer liquid or powder for foundation/veil products?

sometimes i feel a bit uncomfortable out by how much product a girl can put on her face, with the layering things like: lotion first, foundation primer, foundation, foundation veil, etc. not sure how else to explain, but it's so much stacking on a face. perhaps i should get used to it.

as for my skin type, i'm not really sure. i know that my face can feel really gross in the sun, so maybe oily? i also use moisturizer on my face after i get out of the shower.

thank you!

>>6408921
There is thing we call growing up. I remember seeing this on tumblr and I believe she was 14 in the first pic, and around 19 in the second one.

>>6409091
Some people are just to damn ugly for make up to work wonders.

>>6409277
Oops, sorry, correction:

Diorskin Nude*

>>6409277
i've used everyday minerals and bare escentuals powdered foundations, and when i'm on the go i typically used maybelline fit foundation.

i guess i gotta update my make up.

thank you for the tips~

>>6409300
I tried Maybelline fit. It was terrible shitty... it worked nice with not breaking my skin out, but it looked horrible at the end of the day. Quite flaky and creasy.

Definitely invest in a more expensive one. You will notice the difference immediately, when after 10 hours of wearing it, your foundation looks like you just put it on. Give Dior a try. You can return it (if you buy at Sephora) if it's not to your liking.

>>6408080

I really don't understand the "eyebag" they have going on over there. Why get surgery to give you permanent eye bags?!

>>6409278
Liquid foundation is not a fav of mine. I like cream foundation a bit better because it has more coverage and can cover up some of the awesome redness in my face.

I had been using Bare Minerals veil that came in a kit I bought and that seemed fine, but it's pricey. I then moved on to Palladio's rice powder for setting powder and it works just fine for me and is a fraction of the price.

But yea, I know what you mean about having a metric-ton of products on your face. That's why I've been using bb cream + the veil powder since it's only 2 items, for daily wear that is. Then after I get home from work, I wash my face, moisturize it and spend my evening like that. If I'm going to be outside at home, I just use sunblock on my face

For cosplay, I tend to use the heavier makeup with the primer, cream foundation, then veil powder.

Anyway, powder foundations tend to work better for oily skin because they don't "add" oil to the oil, if that makes sense. Dry skin tends to do better with creams, liquids, and things that "add" moisture/oil. Combo skin and normal skin can use a number of products to suit the user.

>>6409323
It makes your eyes look bigger.

Dunno why they'd want that.
Why does /cgl/ want to look like 10-year-old girls?

For sure going to try dior after the rccomendations on here. Can you guys tell me if it oxidizes or not? Also, does it come in really pale colors?

>>6409351
It never oxidizes, and it comes in pretty light colours... when you go, ask for a colour match.

>>6408126
yes, but are there any before and afters of korean surgeon's work on foreigners? this is what i'm asking (politely) for, if anyone has a specific site they're grabbing these charts from.

>>6409337
Its just to look more youthful. And I think its a Korean thing, because I don't really many Japanese people getting it.

>>6409479
Good question. I guessing your asking about western foreigners, just not other asian foreigners. Because I've never seen the results of these surgeries on a westerner before.

>>6409188
>Wash face, Toner, Moisturizer, Primer
If you're using an anti-shine (oil-absorbing) moisturizer using a primer afterwards is redundant as primers tend to have mattifying properties. I strongly suggest using either a primer or moisturizer, not both as they are apt to cancel each other out. Unless your skin is so oily that no amount of additional powder/foundation can control a primer is an unnecessary expense.

Makeup enthusiast here

Meh I was going to do a self post, but then I realized I look ok without makeup on. I have a head cold right now and my lips a little puffy because of a canker sore the size of a lima bean on my bottom lip -__- also bed hair.

Still post with makeup on Y/N?

also I used to be butt ugly, might post those instead.

That perfect line down the middle...

>>6409351
I second Dior Airflash foundation ohsohard.

It giver off the most natural finish effortlessly while giving you an even skin tone. Plus it's unnoticeable even up close.

It runs at about 60 dollars but delivers much better results than anything else I've tried (and I've tried almost every other high end brand I could get my hands on).

Why do they always give them the most ridiculous multicolor drag queen eye makeup?

>>6411333

decent weight loss

>>6411334
dunno

what are you supposed to use to fill in your eyebrows? is there something specific for that or do most people use eyeliner or whatever?

>>6411335
I wish I knew a good western yamanba |:

>>6411344
there's brow mascara, believe it or not. You can also use pencils, powder or gels.

>>6408080
Am I the only one who feels like the bottom left was more attractive before? I think the round jawline looks bad.

Also, getting this surgery must be terrifying for everyone involved. Their family and friends have to get used to someone who looks totally different... and what if they fucked up or something... changed something in a way you didn't like...

>>6411348
It's too bad this type of liner doesn't work on your avrg western eyes

>>6411363

>>6411318
agh, models tho. they look good with or without. e

>>6411368
>>6411364
they were all much more attractive before, the after pictures are nightmare fuel

>>6411369
Not all do. Simply altering how light hits your face (or contouring) can have tremendous results.

>>6411383
that picture says "How to look half-japanese half foreigner" btw

>>6411383
I always wonder about contouring for long/narrow/horse faces though. I've avoided contouring and highlighting since I'm such a horseface. Is there anything I can do to make it look LESS long and thin? Like I know almost all contouring and hell, beauty advice in general is about making your face look slimmer, but that is the last thing I need...

>>6411404
put powder under it.

>>6411415
am i the only one that feels like whoever made this tutorial is being ridic

>CAN'T THEY SEE THEYRE FUG

>>6411404
try following this. Even though Rola's face is strictly square, the contouring should work on longish faces (just don't contour along cheekbones or alongside the jaw)

>>6411425
I think she was pretty helpful. Many tuts on the subject tend to encourage layering on makeup.

>>6411435

>>6411435
I'm not criticizing the tutorial itself, it's very well done. I'm just saying that I found the introduction really abrasive. I love makeup, but I'd never go around criticizing other people for not wearing it, much less not using the exact same techniques I do.

>>6411404
Of course! Contouring isn't just about making your face look narrower; it's about giving it the appearance of shadows and highlights (the "contours" of your face) where you most need it. My own face is pretty round, so I don't usually pay too much attention to tutorials and such for longer, narrower faces -- but you'll want to shade the top and bottom of your face, and highlight more of the sides. Actually, do take a look at the bottom left of >>6411383; it looks pretty relevant! Shadow goes where the red-striped zones are; from what I can tell they also say to highlight the T-zone and the triangle under your eyes.

Gurl, I am jelly. You look a bit like Kat Dennings

>>6408297
holy shit. wtf. your make up is amazing. small tutorial now pls

>>6409310
I use the Maybelline Fit Powder to set concealer and I find it does the job just fine. I haven't tried the liquid foundation, but yeah, I've heard that's terrible.

>>6408297
1/10 would not bang
fuck that's disgusting

I'm gay, from now on.

Okay here are some makeup shots
The best advice I could really give is to find products that work with the color of your skin tone.

>>6411458
Not anon you're replying to, but I agree. There's something about the intro that seems off-putting and haughty. It's not a bad tutorial and the look works for her, but it's her attitude...

I write the occasional makeup tutorial and the thing I emphasize is that while shit works on my face, you have to customize it to work for your features which means being willing to grab your makeup and practice. This inevitably means fucking up a few times until you get the look you want but that's how you find the right thing for your face. Her "my way or the highway, bitches" attitude is pretty unflattering.

Anyone got anything for round face shapes?

>>6411707
I don't read moonspeak well, but perhaps the tutorial posted >>6411446 would help? Wasn't sure if you saw that one.

The face on the far right is "round". Tan areas are for shading, the pink is for blush. Depending on your nose too, you could add a smidge of highlighting and contouring to further add angles to your face.

eyebrow pencils! practically every brand section in the makeup aisle has them; they look like stick eyeliner, but they'll have a little brush on the cap.

>>6411784
They have a lot of choices and colours. How do I choose the right one?

>>6411791
i use two! i fill in my brows (i am very pale and have dark hair, but my eyebrows are super light and transparent) with a light brown, then go over the sparse areas with little strokes of black. then blend the two together with the brush, being careful to brush in the direction that your eyebrow hair is growing. i'm sorry that i haven't got an infographic for you, but there are a million "makeup gurus" on youtube that all generally use the same technique, if you need visuals. these pencils will last MUCH longer than eyeliner, so if you find yourself in between color choices, buy a light brown first and a darker brown if the hair on your head's dark.

I've been wanting to try a bb cream for months, now but through all the threads, I can't find any for pale, oily acne scarred sensitive skin that has more than light or medium coverage. At first I was gonna try skinfood Gingko green but it doesn't exist anymore, then a kind anon in another thread told me about a fantastic one she used that was nearly full coverage but that apparently that one wasn't being made anymore, either.

I sometimes just want so badly to go back to not giving a fuck about my face, damn ;_;

/cgl/ I have a problem and was hoping this thread could help me out.
I'm a girl and I've never worn makeup. I'd like to start but I have absolutely no idea where to begin. Is there a makeup 101 somewhere? I don't know what any of this stuff is or what it does or what I need to get the desired look I want. I don't even know Foundations 101. I know I'm supposed to pick something that matches my skin but do I just glob it on my face or something? Does powder or cream work better? Do I put stuff on the foundation afterwards?
Help /cgl/ I am so lost, I just want to look like a pretty girl ;__;

>>6411506
You're insane

>>6411950
most major bb cream brand (missha, dr jart, etude, laneige, etc, mostly korean brands) I've tried doesn't give that heavy, full coverage to conceal all that...bb cream just more evens out your complexion with that natural look, rather then cover, so you might want to try looking into foundation-those stuff gives you nice coverage

>>6413653

I'm not crazy about foundation, I was interested in bb cream for the skin benefits, I was just hoping there was one that could be used both for makeup and for that.

>>6407991
omg, it's makeup piggy/manawannabe. I fucking love you <3.

>>6411660
How do you do your lips? They look so kissable and sexy! I just fail at makeup and my lips look smudged all the time

>>6416017
Not that anon, but with red lipstick I do the whole: line lips with matching color and then fill in with liner > Put on lipstick > blot > brush on foundation powder > put on another layer of lipstick > blot > repeat
I usually do it about 3 to 4 times. It gives a really nice matte look and keeps the color on for much longer.

>>6412013
Start by watching people do make-up tutorials on Youtube. XSparkage does a lot of flashy pretty eye makeup tutorials but she also does product reviews; if you can find someone like that you can get info on products without buying them.

As far as foundation goes, you might not even need it. BB cream is really a wonderful product, and it's usually hydrating too. If you're absolutely dead-set on foundation, a liquid or cream one will cover more, so if you have bad skin or scarring that might be to your liking, but make sure you "set" it with a powder (so you don't get creases in your foundation). If you have nice smooth skin, a nice powder should work just fine.

>>6416255
I'll check her out, thanks!
What is BB cream? I see everyone talking about it and I've seen some in stores but they're super pricey.
As for the foundation what kind of powder should I use? Do I put the powder on before the foundation or after the foundation? (sorry I am a giant noob ;_;)
I usually just have issues with bad cases of period acne so I kinda just want something to hide it since acne products don't usually work on it because by the time they start working my hormones are back to normal and all the pimples are gone.
I honestly think I have nice facial features I'd just like something that I can use maybe one week out of the month to hide my crappy hormonal pimples. :(
Also when I try and put on mascara it makes my eyelashes look clumpy and gross. How do I get that nice smooth thick eyelash effect without clumpy grossness?

>>6416371
BB cream is supposed to be an all in one type deal, so a moisturiser/foundation/sunblock deal. Powder goes on after foundation to set it.

>>6416371
>Also when I try and put on mascara it makes my eyelashes look clumpy and gross. How do I get that nice smooth thick eyelash effect without clumpy grossness?

Depends on the look you want. If you want what they advertise in mascara ads, then you get that look more often than not with some false eyelashes + mascara. Others may correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't come across mascara that doubles lash density/adds more lashes. There are some mascaras that contain little fibers to "build" a denser coat over your existing lashes, but nothing is going to double them sans falsies or implants.

Also, certain mascara wands work better for certain people's lashes. I have good luck with the shorter wands with rubber instead of the traditional brush. A lash comb will help with the clumpy look and spidery lashes. If you don't own one already, get one, they're awesome.

>>6416371
You should try Maybelline "Volum' Express One by One" mascara, it worked great for me, zero clumps

>>6418645
Really?
I have horrible clumps
(different anon)

The Pro cosplay, nice.

>so a moisturiser/foundation/sunblock deal.

That's only the case with shitty north American ones. Asian BB Creams are actually good for your skin and a little more than just tinted moisturizer-sunscreen.

Has anyone with acne scarring tried Skin79's Snail Nutrition BB Cream? What's the purpose of the snail goo they put in it, anyway?

And aside from that, I used their chart (http://www.skin79northamerica.com/now-skin79/which-bb-is-best-for-me)) and it seems like the Intense Classic would be best for my skin, but I don't know what shade it is and there's no option for any different ones. I don't wanna spen 20 bucks on something I can't use, after all.

What about if you're a guy and have dark circles under your eyes? I haven't tried a concealer yet but I'm willing to try one I just don't want it coming off looking too make-upy if you know what I mean.

>>6411339
did she get breast implants too?

does anyone know how to contour cheekbones? Like subtley
I have small cheekbones that sit high up on my face but I'm always told I look "cutesy" when I do my makeup, I mean not that there's anything wrong with that, but I really want to try looking mature for once. tfw you don't have nice bone structure and you're face is slightly flat

>>6419035
your* oh woops. you are face.

>>6419008
probably just pushups

>>6416042
this should help

>>6419035
when my face was a little bit chubbier and my cheekbones not as prominent, I wore a very, very light amount of a darker coral blush as a contour, then after I would use a ligher then my skintone (which is almost impossible for me, I am irl snow white) foundation or powder on the upper part, but again applied very lightly with a stippling brush. if you dont want the rosey cheek look, use a very light brown eyeshadow (like UD buck, maybe a bit more neutral toned then warm, MUST be matte) again in the contour zone, not the top of the cheek, thats for the lighter powder
