/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I posted here before and some Anon had suggest some under eye creame for my really really bad wrinkles, but I lost the name...Any tips or help on what to do?

can someone tell me exactly how to apply concealer to my undereye circles? no matter what i try it creases horribly as soon as i leave the house. i've tried a couple of primers and just bare skin, and several different formulas of concealer.

>>6600633
I suggest checking out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h16DwWSOg I'm >6600634 and even with my horrible lines it does help me some.

>>6600636
thank you so much!

am I the only one who can't see the difference between oval/round faces ? (except extreme cases) most of the time "round" faces look like fat/chubby ovals

>>6600647
a circle is an oval but not all ovals are circles
see also: squares vs rectangles

what do you think about lovebands/aegyo-sal /cgl/? do they really make you look younger or what

>>6600657
so this?
>pic hopefully related

>>6600659
Personally I find them quite cute but only when they aren't over done. I def think they make you look younger as well

>>6600659
i think they're cute

>>6600659
I think they're cute, but I don't know about them making people look younger.

>>6600659
i fucking hate that shit

>>6600659
cute and yes. if you have them naturally try to emphasize them with makeup to see if it looks good on you. i do it sometimes and i find it distracts from my dark circles.

>>6600659
I love them! If the surgery to get them didn't look so bad, I'd consider it

>>6600659
I have number 2 on the right side. I wear glasses to try to hide it. Anyone know how to make it so your eyes don't look sunken in like that?

OP from the previous thread, thanks for starting a new one!
I saw it asked a couple times in the last thread, but no one answered:

If you know a good serum, please share with us.
Also, share if you've used any Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 products. Are they really worth that much money?

A couple weeks ago I got a sample of StriVectin-AR (NIA-114 + Retinol) Night Treatment. It's actually really nice. Although I haven't seen any improvements it claims as of yet, it does make my face incredibly soft in the morning even with such a small amount used. I don't really know if it's worth the $109.00 though.

Does anyone take biotin

Guys Clinique were doing an offer the day before if you spend a certain amount you get 3 things to try out, Moisture Surge cream, Repairwear Laser Focus eye cream and another cream I forgot what it was.

Hey, please don't get too upset. But can anyone tell me ways to actually look older?
I am i19 and people mistake me for a middle school student. I noticed that an easy fix would be wearing heavy make up(I don't wear any right now,) but I don't really want it to be noticable?
Are there certain ways to dress?

>>6600728
Having a bolder lip colour e.g red, helps you look older. Dress more simple with darker colours. Carry yourself properly, avoid over the top actions.

This is quite boring though isn't it? Enjoy your youth.

>>6600728
Wear heels, stop wearing graphic tees and jeans, try a short haircut or a haircut without bangs. You could also try tanning but that's gross.

I have the same problem, I'm 22 and almost everyone thinks I'm 13. But I think I'd rather enjoy looking young while I still can.

>>6600738
Thank you. I just get tired of being carded for buying energy drinks.(You have to be 14 to buy them,)
I wear mostly solid colored dresses, tights, converse or heels. Sometimes I wear jeans with graphic tees but I expect to look younger with that.
I am really bad with make up, does anyone know any really good, light foundation?

>>6600751
Try one of the American bb creams?

This is probably a stupid question but I am absolutely clueless. Could I go see a dermatologist for dark circles/uneven eyebags? I don't know if anyone remembers me but I was the anon that posted my fugly shit uneven eyebags. Someone recommended something called the "dermawand" but she said she had it done in China and I'm in the US... I just don't know where to start.

>>6600762
I went to sk:n they're pretty rubbish if you ask me for giving useful advice, only good for laser hair removal.
When I asked about dark circles they gave me some cream, just their own brand version of the hundreds of eye creams available.

I found though with my dark circles it's due to me being low on iron,
so I take iron supplements, also other factors such as nasal congestion,
stress etc all contribute.

The biggest factor however...genetics, sucks but there you go.
In future I do hope to see a real Dr Dermatologist for my dark circles, however that isn't a priority for me now.

>>6600709
I've been using the Total Effects daily moisturizer for a couple of weeks! I really like it so far, it makes my skin feel really soft, and the sides of my nose aren't as oily by the end of the day as they usually are. I haven't noticed my skin tone evening out much, but I might not have been using it long enough. My pores do look a bit smaller though. I think it's worth it, but I think next time I'll get the one with SPF.

I've used the night firming cream a handful of times too, and my skin looks awesome in the morning. I just have a terrible time remembering to put it on every night, so I'm not sure how good it would be if I stuck with it a while.

I'm currently losing weight and the once full face is now revealing weight loss wrinkles. I've dropped 25 pounds so far, but I still have 50 to go. My face is still rather round, so I'm afraid it's only going to get worse from here on out. I'm trying to lose it slowly and in a healthy way.

I drink a lot of water everyday, exercise and all that good stuff. Do you think derma rolling might help?

I just ordered this set
so excited to have pretty skin (eventually)

>>6600807
How long did it take you to lose that much? What were your eating/exercise habits?

I'm a bit frustrated because I just want to lose fucking 5kg about 11lbs and I exercise,
control what I eat but nothing comes off.
All of this extra weight is concentrated around my mid-section.

Also to answer your question, your skin should bounce back, if you are young. I would recommend moisturising a lot, vitamin A (retinol) and C serums will help.

Derma rolling could help, I'm a little apprehensive of using this on myself at home, I would prefer to go to a derm for it.

>>6600830
Well due to recent lack of income I only eat once a day. It sucks, but the scale makes me happy. Before that, I was eating healthy. I do light exercises: jumping jacks and a session of Slim in 6 which contains a lot of squats/lunges. It took me about 2 months to shed off 25 pounds. I hear that losing that last bit you want is difficult! I'm probably the last person to give advice about weight loss, but I suggest "ministry of sound - pump it up!". I'm sure that tummy trouble will be gone in no time!

I'm 21 now, so I hope it'll bounce back. If you use a serum, which do you use? I barely know anything about this anti aging jazz.

>>6600830
youtube.com/blogilates

I really like this girl, she has tons of videos with all different exercises. On her site she has a monthly calender with a list of workouts to do every day if you need some guidance. There's also some food guides and recipes.

The only thing is a lot of her videos focus on gaining muscle, which I know some lolitas don't want.. which is silly..

>>6600930
Thanks a lot for the link, I've recently started getting into HIIT and she seems to have lots of vids for it.

>>6600907
21, it will definitely go back to normal, also,
it takes hundreds of pounds before your skin reaches point of no return, so you should be okay.

As for serums I don't use anti-ageing stuff so I don't have a specific one to recommend, it depends on your budget,
ROC / La Rouche Posay also Olay. Just look for retinol and vit K.

Also another tip since you're losing weight all over make sure your body is moisturised properly,
this helps skin retain elasticity, also dry body brushing does wonders with cellulite and lumpy bits.

>>6600955
Thanks a lot! For those interested, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum has over 200 positive reviews.

Who's tried daiso make up and face products??? any recommendations? There's a store a few miles away from my house and they are kinda cheap but I don't want to risk it.

>>6600712
I do!

Also I have a hard time covering up my under eye bags as well. I might get the majority of them covered but that edge where it meets with your cheek, you know the one when you smile and it just makes that poorly hidden eye bag gleam? Yeah... I can't conceal (the ends?) enough

I have sensitive skin, and I was wondering if BB cream will affect it like foundation does? (cause me to break out.) I have Missha Perfect Cover.

>>6601133
I break out with mineral powder, that matte foundation powder stuff, and most bb creams. The American BB creams don't make me break out, though, but people say they are just glorified tinted moisturizers.

>>6600751

where do you live where you not only need to be 14 to buy energy drinks, but 14 year olds actually have IDs/other ways to prove they're 14 at the store?

>>6601162
Prolly murrica they have all sorts of retarded age rules over there

>>6601182

Yeah, but no 14 year old in America has any kind of official id.

>>6601162
yeah good point it's not like they even have drivers permits or anything

Amurica here, I've never heard of anything like that

middle school ID's don't give DOB just school year haha

>>6601203
I got my official ID at 14. Many kids I know did (Murricafag here)

>>6601079

I wouldn't risk putting dollar store shit all over my face.

>>6600756
I just tried the new urban decay one. It was horrible for me. made my face orange and felt greasy.

>>6600688
Why don't you like them? Are you one of those people who are all like
>hurr stupid chinese freaks with their eyebag surgery

Does anyone know anything that works well against blackheads? I really want to get rid of them.

Also I wish people would mistake me for younger but because I'm tall it's always been the other way around

>>6601481
>I wish people would mistake me for younger but because I'm tall it's always been the other way around
I know that feel
short, young looking people are lucky, they can look young and old , while if you already look mature it's more difficult to look younger (even more if you're tall)
So you people who are complaining about looking younger, quit your whinin'

>>6601079
I've tried their blotting paper, tested their makeup (lipstick and eyeshadow) and tried the black mask that works like a pore strip. The only thing I would really recommend is the black mask, everything else is noteably sub-par, so much so that it's actually a waste of money to buy it. I threw out the blotting paper after a week and bought proper ones from the drugstore, it was such a waste of time and money. Since they have a lot of suppliers I think some of them might actually be good, but as you said, why risk it if you can afford drugstore brands with better reliability.

>>6601079
Ia with >>6601540, I LOVE daiso's charcoal face peel mask thing (if that's what you're talking about?), it makes my face feel super smooth and clean. Their other stuff are pretty meh though, the eyeshadows aren't pigmented at all, and i wouldn't even risk their lipstick/glosses. About the only makeup thing i would buy from them are their false eyelashes.

Best anti-aging advice I've ever been given, aside from the usual "sunscreen, sleep, water"?

Moisturize your neck. It'll wrinkle as well, and can be a big cue as to your age, because most people don't take care of it as much as their face. I just smooth my face cream over it, haven't bothered getting into neck-specific creams but it seems to be working well so far.

>>6601705
Yesyesyes.
It helps to much to moisturize your neck, cleavage and hands. And use SPF! These areas are exposed to the elements nearly as often as your face is, but most people don't take care of them at all. So many older women (I've noticed it in women 40 and up) have permanent wrinkles and hyperpigmentation above their breasts, and it really ages them.

Currently I use my face products on my neck and body products on my chest and shoulders, and kind of blend them where they meet. For my hands I have special hand creams but they always get rubbed off during work, or end up all over my keyboard.
Does anyone have recommendations for hand cream that is very moisturizing but sinks in quickly?

>>6600666
That'a oval vs oblong, which I will admit can be hard to tell apart.

>>6600647
If the height of the face (hairline to chin) is about the same as its width (ear to ear typically) it's probably a round face. If its height is taller then it's an oval. If you're somewhere in between don't think about it too much.

>>6600728
Start wearing clothes that are more tailored. This doesn't suit and jackets and colared shirts, just clothes that are meant to flatter your specific body shape rather then a standard size off the rack that meant to fit girls from 12-15 who's bodies are always changing.

Also When I was 14 everyone thought I was going to College. When I was actually 18 people kept thinking I was heading into High School. No idea how that happened, it's just one of those things. I wear stupid tshirts and jeans now, but I'm an art kid and wearing nice clothes doesn't help.

>>6601725
I currently use Bath and Body's Shea Cashmere hand lotion (in Midnight Pomegranate) with no issue. Mind you when i use it I do apply the access on my elbows and face so you may want to do that as well?

>>6600634
Please...Respond...lmao

I think the best tip I have is to not wear so much makeup. I don't think it necessarily makes you look like a hag, but people will often perceive you as more mature and therefore older.
I had really bad acne that nobody ever noticed because I was always wearing makeup, but people would always guess me to be a lot older than I was. When I finally saw my dermatologist they prescribed me medication and I no longer needed the heavy foundation. Lots of people say I look a lot younger now when I don't wear as much makeup.

So if you have skin problems I think your best bet is a dermatologist. And I was one of those people that tried everything to get rid of acne.

>>6601792
adding to this... but having bigger/thicker eyebrows makes you look younger to people. People with stenciled, super thin eyebrows appear older in most people's eyes.

>>6601772
does Madonna have a diamond-shaped face?

>>6601808
Actually I think you're right. She tends to hide her hairline and probably gets grouped into oval (maybe heart because of her jaw) as a result.

>>6601811
is Chloe Moretz also a diamond or is she a heart?

>>6601820
>those forehead wrinkles
>those under eye lines
>those nasolabial folds

Ooooh gurl... Isn't she like 14 or 15 or something?

Saged for off-topic, sorry!

>>6600907
...That's you again isn't it, Spoony?

>>6601842
>those nasolabial folds
isn't it normal to have them?
anyway I think she's 15

>>6601842
it's okay, in a few years she'll get surgery for it

>>6601854
Yeah it's normal, but hers are really pronounced for someone so young.

>>6601848
6600907 here, I don't think Spoony weighed 200 pounds at one point anyway.

>>6601842
I developed premature forehead wrinkles myself. I have a caveman brow and have to "hold" it up constantly, or I'll look like a man.

Fuck this stupid world.

>>6601842
>>6601885
>>6600628
I had dark bags and wrinkles under my eyes by that age, Now I'm 18 and have developing jowls. Fucking genetics.

>>6601887
I can relate. I have sunk in eyes, so the skin around it is very thin and dark. My whole family has it. I take after my father who has a major case of the gobble-gobble jowls. I'm so scared I'm going to get them too.

>>6601540
>>6601629
Thanks! I will get only the charcoal mask, seems to have good reviews, it was on sale yesterday for less than half a dollar! I thought they were good products since they seem kinda popular, lashes seemed really cute though.
It's the only japanese brand that has stores in my country.

What kind of cremes/makeup do you guys suggest for sensitive eyes? Everytime I apply makeup now, 5 minutes later my eyes water half of it away.

I know I need to change the make up I use, but I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for that? The same for cremes, it's been difficult finding cremes that actually work and don't bother my eyes.

>>6601820
I would say heart. Even though the hairline in similar the way her face tapers, plus the shape of her jaw and the overall width of her forehead. Her cheekbones aren't prominent enough.

>>6601926
Have you tried kohl liners? As in the high end kind? Real kohl tends to be waterproof, even if it still bleeds (and is also okay to use around your eyes.)

>>6601842
I think a lot of that is just her foundation creasing from making expressions. Someone didn't do a very good job on her.

Sleep also affects eye wrinkles/dark circles.

Best to sleep with your head at an incline, so fluids don't gather under your eyes, make sure not to drink a lot before
bedtime either.
Also sleeping on your sides causes wrinkles on your face and sagging, so best position is on your back.
This takes a while to get used to but it's better to get into the habit now.

>>6600634
I have the same thing. I think it's natural. I've had it post-puberty and I have an okay diet and get 8-10 hours of sleep every day. It seems to be extra skin. Even when I spread the skin apart there are lines underneath (Pinkish). I'm going to get surgery for it eventually

Little piece of advice for the girls who are just now starting caring for their skin with more than water and soap: watch the improvement with weekly pictures without make-up instead of just watching the mirror.

I grew a bit paranoid and started to think my skin was getting worse after I started moisturizing daily and exfoliating every 15 days, but then I noticed it's because I'm now paying a lot of attention to it.
Comparing current pics with old ones, it's improved a lot.

>>6601931
Oh great! I'll try that! And do you have a brand you recommend for eye shadow? I have problems with that too sometimes, since the skin around my eyes are incredibly sensitive as well.

>>6602004
I kept thinking about this. I have the horrible habit of sleeping on my stomach with my face smooshed against a soft pillow. I tried sleeping on my back last night, but woke up on my stomach again. I guess it'll take some time.

>>6600826
love her

remember to start slow on the bhas though, getting flaky doesn't help

>>6602004
I can't sleep in any way other than on my stomach. And I mean it literally, I can't sleep in other positions. I tried sleeping on my side for several weeks because supposedly it's the best way for your back but I just can't fall asleep.
At all.

>>6602350
Then I suggest you buy some satin pillowcases.

>>6601428
Really? I live in America, and I've never heard of kids getting an ID at 14. I tried googling this law, and it seems like there was a lawsuit for a 14 year old dying, so maybe your area wants to avoid that? There's no age limit here. My friend started buying Red Bull at 11 or 12, though I guess laws could've changed. Google says there's no current law.

>>6602350
Ugh, I know, right? Sleeping on my side hurts my hips, and I get terrible nightmares when I sleep on my back.

>>6602530
Yeah, i have to have a pillow between my knees down to my ankles to sleep on my side. >.>

>>6602530
Diff anon, but is there a correlation to sleeping on your back = nightmares? I thought it was just me, I've been too terrified to sleep on my back since I was little because yeah.

Lol I remember when I was a really young kid some korean celebrity (one of those "talent" actress/singer/whatever deals) claimed that the reason she didn't have any lines or wrinkles on her neck was because her entire family slept without pillows, to the point where if someone tried to sleep with a pillow the mother would ninja it away once the person falls asleep and let the person's head just drop and bang on the floor/futon in the process.

Cue entire nation of gullible mothers including my own waking their daughters up in the middle of the night for the next 2-3 months or however long it took them to forget about the bullshit advice.

I think aging is a natural process and you shouldn't overly fight it, and if anything it's unnatural that those celebrities claim to be pushing 40 and 50 without a wrinkle botoxed and plumped away.

Insofar as I can tell, all you can do is eat well, sleep well, don't tug at your skin too much and don't overexpose to the sun.

>>6602539
To be honest, I'm not sure if it's just an old wives tail. I wasn't able to sleep on my back AT ALL when I was a child, and I heard that back then. I'm not sure if I'm causing myself to have nightmares. Googling it, it seems like many people also suffer nightmares when they sleep on their back. Someone says it's because oxygen flow is slightly restricted, altering dream state and state of mind. Not sure if this is true, though.

I also have trouble using a pillow/elevating my head when I sleep. Maybe that's the true source of my eyebags!

>>6602069
Can't say that I do, I'm reccomending kohl mostly because I grew up with the traditional kind made in India (as in actual burnt charcoal compressed on a stick...) that I let a friend use once and she didn't know how to get rid of it at the end of the day. I've recently acquired some Lancome eye shadows which I've been liking, but I don't know how it might effect your skin. You might want to check labels and see if there is any ingredient that is found in all those products that you may be able to avoid. It's a pain, but it might be better for you in the long run.

Oh and I can rec Arbonne. They're a general wellness company that's organic and they do have a line of make up. It's fairly new, so it lacks a huge amount of variety, but if you want something that's meant to be for all skin types, they may be your best bet. I've used their products in the past with success (it's only that I can't afford them and drugstore brand doesn't effect me as much.)

>>6602050
I think I need to try this. I've only started caring for my skin this past year or so, and I've seen overall improvements, but I still break out and have dark spots so it's frustrating.

>>6602552
There was actually a time where I didn't sleep with a pillow. It wasn't for any particular reason (well, but mother stole it but that's because she needs like, 10 pillows to feel comfortable, especially now) and your body tends to realign. I sleep with one now and on my stomach, but I'm trying to switch to my back. I haven't gotten re-used to my dorm bed so I wake up aching...

Personally I think the sheets creating lines on your face is a bit of bull, but I actually want to prevent acne instead, so not rubbing my face on a pillowcase would be a good thing as well.

Guy here, stumbled on from 4chan's front page.

Just wanted to let you all know that this beauty stuff is a great finish but all you really need is good attitude and a healthy body/lifestyle to be attractive.

Not to say 110% doesn't rock.

Addios

>>6602552
>Insofar as I can tell, all you can do is eat well, sleep well, don't tug at your skin too much and don't overexpose to the sun.
This pretty much. Genetics plays a part in it too. I'm 31 and I really don't look it. I get mistaken for early 20's. I don't do anything special, just eating better, getting plenty of sleep, drinking water, not getting much sunlight (and using sunblock like crazy). I don't really use any special products and rarely wear makeup unless it's a special occasion.

I've noticed very tiny differences caused by aging, but it's really small differences I have noticed looking up close to my face at night (tweezing brows, washing face, etc) But I don't have any noticable lines or creases. I do have a nasal-lobial crease, but it's been prominent since childhood, so it's more of a genetic thing, I think.

>>6604238

I could care less about wrinkles if a girl fit.

Dat fit body

>>6604238
>good attitude and a healthy body/lifestyle to be attractive.


Very simple but very few can understand such simple logic

>>6604238
I know this might be a strange concept, but for some of us a lot of this beauty stuff (especially when it works) is a confidence booster. Guys don't have to fret because there value doesn't get undermined as they start to show signs of aging (granted some guys do go through a crisis from early baldness, but y'all still have Sir Patrick Stewart who went bald in his early 20's and if he's not a sexy not-silver fox idk who is) so you aren't helping especially by posting a classy image of a dude who's older and still quite successful.

On a semi-related note, if I manage to make it to old age and I'm half as awesome as Maggie Smith, that might still be too awesome.

So basically, apply make up like usual and it's ulzzang...

I need some help with finding a new shampoo.

I dyed my hair last week for the first time in a while, and I've been using Redken Color Extend shampoo and unfortunately my color has already faded quite a lot. It looks really dull and I've only washed it twice since dying it. I'm planning to re-dye it sometime this week, but I really need some help finding a decent color protecting shampoo, and I have no idea what to use. Unfortunately I can't afford Pureology and the stuff that's near that price right now, or else I'd use that with no question. I figure I can probably spend $15 at the most for it. Any recommendations?

no sarcasm

I think it is because of the white eyeliner.

>>6605308
Just to be sure, you are washing your hair in cold/cool water right?

>>6605308
I have a nexxus color care shampoo and I got it on sale for about 10$. I think it's normally 15-20. I like it. It's also moisturizing.

I have a question for applying liquid foundation.

When I apply it, it looks fine but when I look in the mirror, theres a small line of pink under where I applied it. It's really hard to describe so, pic related.

>>6605387
I HAVE THIS TOO. I have spent a weird amount of time looking at other people's eyelids because of this lol, and I think other people have more of a flat line and then the lashes come down, while ours are more rounded? Not sure though, I'd love to get an answer

>>6605339
I am, even though it really sucks since it's so cold here right now.

>>6605342
Moisture is always a plus, I'll keep that one in mind. Thanks!

>>6605387
>>6605438
are you talking about this or...?

>>6605454
YES

>>6605454
Yes but on a lighter-skinned girl it's even more noticeable

>>6605387
>>6605438
You guys mean the part where the lashes grow from? Everybody got that, it is named Glands of Zeis.

>>6605387
>>6605438
You probably just aren't getting it down into the lash line enough. I use a felt eyeliner pen and I usually dab it very gently along my lash line, making sure to push it slightly down into my lashes from above. Then, I go back over to smooth out the line/wing it out/etc. Does that make any sense?

If you have trouble, Too Faced's "3 - Way Lash Lining Tool" (look it up on Sephora's site) is awesome at getting in between lashes without making a harsh/thick line.

>>6605457
>>6605458
That'd be the waterline, Just continue doing what the girl in the picture is doing. It's a little uncomfortable at first but it will make your lashes look much fuller!
Here's some tutorials:

nvm, I see what you're talking about. Mine isn't noticeable at all when my makeup's on.

MY NIGGA

Anyone have any styling tips for curly hair?

Mine aren't super tight but they're tight and it's tough to do anything other than braid it or let it hang.
I'd like wavier hair more than curly but I don't want to use heat and damage it

>>6605577
I've had some smoothing creams/serums weigh my curls down a bit. I end up with kind of wavy/curly hair, but it looks pretty nice.

>>6605590
Which ones?

Has anyone in this thread tried the Miss Jessies brands? I hear they're pretty amazing, and quick curls worked well for me when I had short hair but now my hair is pretty much down to my ass

>>6605602
Oh god, it's been a while since I've used any. I know Paul Mitchell's serum that has green writing on the bottle weighed them down a fair bit, and the only other one I remember right now is Sauve's anti-frizz cream. Sorry I can't remember more!

>>6605602
Quick Curls didn't do shit for me, but I'm more 2c/3a so if you're in the black girl range YMMV

I use DevaCurl's Arc AnGel for curl formation and Lush's R&B for weight/frizz control

>>6605679

shit, I'm like a 3c
will those really weigh my hair down?

>>6605697
Our hair is different enough I couldn't say, but I can say my hair is incredibly thick and frizzy and R&B was the first product I ever had that knocked it into shape. The only danger is that it does accumulate and it can actually get a bit greasy and flat (!!! -- if you're like me having that problem sounds kind of surreal but yes it actually happened).

>>6605469
I used to tightline (I think that's what it's called) but every single time I blink I end up with liner all over my waterline, which I don't want. Is there a practical way to set the eye liner somehow, or a type of eyeliner less prone to it?

>>6609188
Have your tried just pushing the liner into your lash line and not into the ridge under it? I tend to line both waterlines at the same time (close eyes, tip head back slightly and run the pencil liner back and forth) but sometimes I just take the pencil liner and push into the lash line with my eyes half open and head tipped back.

Otherwise maybe a gel liner using Wayne Goss's puch brush method? He says it can be done with any kind of eye shadow so long as you use the brush.

Any makeup tips for people with glasses? I'm always linked to the same one youtube video and it really isn't too helpful.

>>6610320
As someone with glasses, here are my general tips:
-Magnifying mirrors are fantastic in helping you see what you're doing
-Winged liner can look weird because the wing can kinda blend into the edge of the glasses frame. Actually, any really defined/sharp eye makeup looks odd as well because it's like a double border for your eyes, the glasses are like the outer border and then the makeup is another border
-Smoky eyes can look really good, pretty much anything that is more blended rather than...super defined
-Eye makeup seems to be less noticeable through glasses, so you can apply it quite heavy-handedly.
-If you have brightly coloured glasses, just be aware of clashing colours if you decide to do bright makeup
-False lashes may touch your glasses which is a pain in the arse, so watch the length of any falsies you use - go for thickening rather than lengthening.

Oh man, I love those. Honey + sugar is really nice, at least for my skin. You just want to makre sure that the sugar is not too harsh so it doesn't damage anything.

I really like rice flour + honey combo and sometimes add the juices of few blueberries and a tablespoon of green tea. REALLY relaxing and my skin feels amazing afterwards.

>>6604895
Bumping this! I've wondered this too, but am too scared to try it out.

You should see a dermatologist first, using a derma roller can ruin your skin, pic releated.

>>6610559

I'm just going to say this now because your post is extremely misleading, but the woman in your images skin was not ruined by a derma roller but by the poor application of non-certified Hyaluronic Acid fillers.

A derma roller would not and COULD not ever do anything like that. If it's not sterile, worst case scenario, you get some spots.
I roll at home and have done for the last 2 years. The worst that can happen to you is you roll too vigorously and end up with red, burning skin for longer then usual.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to be afraid of derma rollers, they're completely safe.

>>6610559

It even says on the damn picture that the fillers were contaminated.

Seriously, if there's one thing I hate it's people talking about something they don't have a clue about.

>>6604907
But that tutorial seems only to be focused on creating lovebands/aegyo-sal

>>6610559
God, are you mentally retarded?

Also, the way her eyes are censored gave me the creeps.

>>6610628
Fuck you. My brother was killed by derma rollers.

The ones I know of, you should look through YT and see if there are any others (or one by a person with features more like your own.)

bumping for interest

Any tips for blackheads / large pores?

>>6614965
Get a blackhead extractor and, well, extract them. You could also go to the dermatologist to get this done, but it's something you can easily do yourself and save a lot of money. The tool itself will be a maximum of like $12, probably cheaper, at a drug store or a Walmart.

Salicylic acid washes and gels really help me with my blackheads, too. I find that if they won't come out with the extractor, putting a high percentage salicylic gel on it overnight will either make it disappear completely or be ready to come out.

Large pores is a different story... That's way more of a case by case basis when it comes to results. I notice that high end face serums help me a lot when it comes to reduction in pore size, but I spend upwards of $200 on my product, and I know that's not a viable solution for most people

Does anyone have any information or personal experience with the results of supplements? I got some "Hair, Skin, and Nails" vitamins yesterday, so I'm excited to notice any results. They have a lot of Biotin in them, and a decent amount of Vitamin E and other vitamins.
