So there's been a small explosion of blogs republishing Refinery29's writeup on "newest Japanese trend, looking sick on purpose," which is (apparently?) a well-established "undereye blush" Harajuku trend.

Supposedly, undereye blush makes your face look rounder and cuter, which is a Big Deal for a lot of lolita and cosplay. So, does it actually make your face look rounder/younger/cuter than traditional blush placement? Does anyone have pictures of lolitas or cosplayers using undereye blush? Does it work for white girls?

I didnt think icky thump was too bad, but de stijl was far better. His asshole-ness (to me) stems from him having hissy fits when his fans don't behave how he wants them by not paying enough attention to him at concerts. Apparently once he walked off the stage because too many people were sitting down instead of dancing, and he hates cellphones because people will text their friends and keep them in their hands so it means they can't clap for him. I still like his music, and I am a self identified asshole so I don't really dislike him any more than I dislike myself.

lmfao are you for real m8, that's incredible. What a bitch move. I feel bad saying that because I really love his early music but that is just so...wow. I understand what he's feeling but actually walking off stage? What the hell man.

IMO the best White Stripes album is their first. I don't think there's a song on it that even approaches the popularity of stuff from White Blood Cells and De Stijl, though. I really liked Elephant as well, even though that's the album that turned them ~mainstream~ or whatever.

Adding my off topic two cents, Jack White gets that abrasive reputation and I can understand it, but as a musician myself (and one who lives in Nashville and knows people who are signed to Third Man), none of the stuff he does is really that far from things we all think, he just is the guy with no filter who will actually say it. I've been to shows of his where the cell phone thing was mentioned, but it's not because he needs the ego boost of people clapping (let's be real, Jack White is already number 1 in his own mind), it's more because he hires a staff photographer already to take lots of pictures of his shows, and he feels because of that there's no real reason people should be watching the show through a tiny screen instead to enjoy later instead of enjoying it in the moment. And I can absolutely understand that. There's no denying he's abrasive, egotistical and insane, but it's at least abrasive insanity that I can somewhat understand the reasoning behind.
And when it comes down to it, Jack is damn good at what he does, and very devoted to his craft. And he's a sick genius. Like who the fuck is he to be that good at guitar and songwriting and then also construct his own amplifiers, invent sound pedals and be a ridiculously good sound engineer, that's just not fair. If you sign with him, you album is going to sound damn good, and he will fight for you to the end. So yeah, mother fucker's bat shit, always has been. But he's my kind of bat shit.
Sage because as much as I wish it otherwise, Jack White is not animu.

I think anyone can pull off bangs, it just depends on how you cut/style them. I have a much wider/rounder face and I cut my bangs to slim my face.

I've found that the best way (on my face anyways) to do under eye blush is to make a gradient. I put really pale pink wherever I'd normally put blush (along cheekbone and apply of cheek) and I mean really pale. Then I get some dark pink (I actually use eyeshadow from an Urban Decay pallet, the color is Woodstock) and dab it under my eyes towards the outer corner, then kinda rub it around to blend and make it the right shape. Then I blend it more with the blush brush and the light pink.

>yaeba teeth
I'm actually thankful of this trend, I have bad teeth crowding so I have crooked teeth and a tooth actually growing over top of my other ones because of it, and it makes me feel so fucking ugly but I can't afford to have all the dental work it would take to fix it, so seeing girls with snaggle teeth and thinking it's cute makes me feel like, just because I have bad teeth doesn't mean I'm automatically ugly, it just means I have bad teeth and that's not my fault. So yeah as stupid as it is that people are fucking their teeth up for fashion, I am kinda glad of it happening.

Looks like your under eye is pulled up, giving the impression your eyes are even bigger when fully open, plus you need less effort to give a believable smile with it on. "You smile with your eyes" right?

It helps me working in customer service - I don't feel I need to smile as hard with it because the bottom eye lids look already up.

I have the same problem. I can't do it because my eyes have extreme dark circles.
