Hi /cgl/. I was directed here from /fa/ and was told you know more about make up and stuff.

Do you know/have any verticals about how to apply eyeliner/shadow nicely? Whenever I put mine on it looks very bland but when I see other people's it looks like Da Vinci had a field day on their face.

I don't wear any other makeup if it matters.

>I don't wear any other makeup if it matters.
I'm not too great at eyeshadow, but if you're going to wear eyeshadow and eyeliner, IMO, you can't not wear mascara. As for liner, what sort were you thinking about? Pencil, gel/cream, or liquid. Pencil is easiest to apply but has the worst staying power and oomph, liquid is hardest to apply, but looks great, and gel (my favourite), has the best of both worlds: looks good, and is easy to apply.

If it is bland, you should apply a primer first. It doesn't just hold it in place all day, but actually makes the color more intense too.

Agreed. Mascara is more important than either, really.

This. You might also just be buying really shit eyeshadow, what brands do you use? And a lot of maximum impact photography eyeshadow is applied wet.

[Anonymous No.6750701]

Always use an eye shadow primer. It'll make your colors stronger and help the shadow last longer and not mush into your crease. Swabs are nice; brushes are better. Sweeping is good for simple washes of color. If you want the color to pop, though, you want to stipple/tap the pigment on your eye lids and then blend it out. Avoid using more than one color over the same area if you don't want the color to wash out. For really good smokey eyes, pencil line first, smudge lightly, apply shadow and then use a gel or liquid liner on top. Always use mascara. Curl your lashes before you put that shit on, and apply by going across instead of along first. That way you coat the whole lash and avoid clumps. I keep a separate, clean mascara brush or eyelash comb to deal with any clumps as well. If you don't like mascara, you can actually comb on petroleum jelly as a clear alternative. And it's actually good for your lashes.

I use an alcohol swipe over my eyebrows and upper lip before AND after I pluck and thread,then I wash and moisturize. If you're breaking out as a reaction to the plucking and not due to not keeping clean enough, see a dermatologist. You might need something special for that depending on the cause, or perhaps you can laser that sucker off.

MAC makes eyeshadow palettes that are specifically designed for makeup noobs. They come with colors that are well matched, and have clear, detailed instructions about how to apply them and how various combinations will look. They're a great product for the many people these days that grew up in a world where heavy makeup wasnt as usable as in times past.

[Anonymous No.6758151]

Oh, and if it's for Cosplay, always wear foundation or at bare minimum powder. No matter how perfect their skin is, everybody looks like a greasy piece of shit in photos without it.

I'm sorry, I'm very inexperienced with makeup, and I am wondering if anyone could help me.
I would really like to start cosplaying, I have a very nice costume that I put together, but I'm very self-conscious about how I look, and I'm too nervous to go to any conventions.
If anyone would like to give me advice on what I could do with makeup to make myself look more presentable, I would really appreciate it.
I'm sorry this image is so low quality, I don't have a camera, I had to take it with my webcam.
Thank you for reading.

[Anonymous No.6761981]

>>6761962
you have a very cute face :3

it looks like you have nice skin, but it could also just be the webcam smoothing it out

at any rate, you want to start with at least a little foundation, ideally applied with a stippling brush but just a make up sponge works in a pinch. use a little blush to bring color back into your cheeks (i like cream blush best) and use a little powder to set your face, and swipe a little bit of bronzer across your forehead and down your nose

eyes are where you can go crazy really, but for just looking presentable all you really need is some eyeliner and mascara

[Anonymous No.6761987]

>nobody telling OP to get some foundation

Really? I think it looks so damn stupid when people apply any kind of make-up (except maybe some simple, subtle mascara) with uneven/greasy skin.

Thank you so much!
I don't know if you would have any experience with this, but just in case you do; one of my eyes waters almost constantly, so I have to dab at it all the time, is there any sort of eye makeup that won't smear, or is there a way I can blot tears off my eye without ruining makeup?

[Anonymous No.6761994]

>>6761962
You have good skin but I still recommend some light fondation or powder. Maybe some bb cream for sun protection if you're going be outside a lot. As far as application, it depends on what you want to do and what character you're cosplaying. Can't really offer a dramatic evening look to a high school girl character. Moe/cute characters usually require focus on the eyes. More adult/sensual characters have more focus on the lips. Rule of thumb is to try and only focus on one aspect of your face or you'll look like a hooker.

Really, the only thing I suggest appearance wise is to shape the eyebrows a bit. They look a bit too long for your face. There are tutorials up to help find your perfect eyebrow shape.

Also, to make yourself look presentable while being photograph, practice posing.

[Anonymous No.6761995]

>>6761990
Use waterproof eyeliner/mascara. My eyes water a lot too, and I find that wiping up and to the side (kind of following a cat eye pattern?) or dabbing with a tissue without wiping at all works for me. Then again, I don't apply eyeliner or mascara to my lower lid/lashes so i have less to smudge.

[Anonymous No.6761999]

>>6761962
In my opinion you have self confidence issues, not self presentation issues, as you seem to look just fine.
Putting makeup on can help in most situations, but in your case it certainly shouldn't be what is holding you back from cosplaying.

[Anonymous No.6762001]

>>6750665
Also note that though pencil might be least messy, making fine lines with it is pretty hard unless it's perfectly sharpened

Also anon, what do you do with your eyebrows, if anything at all? Just for future reference they could do a lot more for you. Right now they seem to be more of a curve than an arch. Not bad by any means but not the most flattering.

no problem

as another anon said, just look for waterproof products, i would recommend waterproof liquid eyeliner, and if you use eyeshadow be sure to use a primer to help it stay

[Anonymous No.6762020]

>>6762019
no, thick eyebrows are great.
lots of people my age (20's) regret plucking their eyebrows when they were younger because it takes some time for the follicles to start growing hair again if you pluck for a long time.

Just make sure there are no stray hairs. I'd try using makeup to make the arch, but you'll have to experiment to make it look natural.

But I don't think you NEED an arch. It's just more common.

Often, foundation/concealer look only good short after application though. During the day, concealer sets in fine wrinkles around the eyes, emphasizing them, while foundation can get really blotchy, depending on your skin.

are some faces just not going to be able to handle a lot of makeup?

I'm too scared to post my picture to show examples, but I feel like I look super overdone (almost like pageant kids) when I do much more than tightline and mascara.

I'd like to wear the cute, simple winged-eyeliner looks, but it looks so out of place on me. I've done it, and my boyfriend even said it looks good, but we both agree that it's just like a formal occasion kind of thing. It's too much for everyday.

Maybe you're just not used to the look of your face with a little more makeup. I guess the winged eyeliner wouldn't seem overdone to you anymore, if you'd wear it more frequently. And I'm pretty sure other poeple would propably not recognise it as overdone or anything. You could as well use dark brown instead of black or a slightly thinner/shorter/not yet winged line for start though.

That's what primers prevent. I wouldn't suggest putting on concealer and foundation without it. MAC has some nice primers although at the moment I'm poor and using NYX and No. 7 depending on what foundation I use. As for the eyebrows, thick is in right now. Thick brows are all over the runway and eyebrow filler is super popular in most makeup brands.

My skin is exactly like this girl's. Every pore in my face is clogged. I had a depression swing the past few weeks and didn't exfoliate/wash/treat my skin like I usually do, so it's even worse now.

I've tried several brands of salicylic acid (2%), each with pH levels that are proper, etc. and they only improve my skin like 20%, which, at this level, is not nearly enough. Also used 20% SA peel about 3-4 weeks in a row but didn't get much results from that. I developed an allergy to benzoyl peroxide, so anything containing that is out of the question. I tried a birth control that worked well for Spoony, but it made me suicidal so I graduated off of it a few months back (I think it fucked with my SSRI, as instructions said that could happen) (maybe this is why she is crazy.) I'm probably going to try another BC soon with less hormones (likely Yaz.) I am currently using Retin-A nightly. I drink about a gallon of water every day. I eat a lot of healthy food and hardly any junk -but- I have chocolate/chocolate-candy at least every other day (legitimate addiction I'm trying to break.)

Other than see a dermatologist (scheduled), I was wondering if anyone had similar type of skin/advice for this type of skin/etc.

My skin used to be like this. I have a whole list of do's and don'ts, but I'm sure you have heard of them all. I can recommend some products I use that gave me amazing results.

Try Rosette's sea mud cleanser. It's great for pore cleaning and tightens your skin. It always leaves my skin very clean without over drying. The price is very cheap too.

I also use Penelopi Moon Masha. It is on the expensive side, but I think it's worth it. It has tons of natural herbs and smells great. It's very gentle, and helps a lot with my pimples and pores. I use it in the morning and whenever I get pimples. I leave the foam on my face for 5 minutes, and the pimples always shrink down to minimum.

He gets annoyed when I wear makeup since he thinks I don't need it. There are people out there who think your skin is fine. While I don't think I (nor you) ever will believe that to be true, I think we can learn to live with it even if we can't cure it. For now, I'm trying some more things (such as truly eliminating bad foods from my diet) but if I'm stuck like this, hey, at least we are female so it's okay to wear makeup (and I look quite good once I'm made up, you probably do too!)

[Anonymous No.6765243]

in response to all the acne dudes:
obviously, different shit will work for different people, but here is my experience:
Clear skin until I hit about 20, then it was like second puberty or something.
Stress really makes things so much worse, do your best to relax and not think about your skin.
Ice will help reduce swelling, pain, and redness. Buy an ice pack, keep it wrapped in a wash cloth in your freezer. Use it when you're watching tv or something.
I don't wash my face anymore. Or, not the conventional way. Every night (and any time my face is feeling oily) I use Mrs Thayer's alcohol free toner. I get a white cotton ball and keep wiping my face until there isn't any more dirt and my skin feels refreshed (coincidentally, I don't wear make up very often. Use oil then wipe if you're wearing makeup)
Twice a week or so I mix a few drops of lavendar oil, a few drops of tea tree oil, and add enough sweet almond oil to massage into my skin.
I count 60 seconds, massaging all over, then I count 30 seconds focusing on specific areas.
While I'm massaging the oil in, I have a cup of chamomile tea cooling. Once it is cool enough, I pour it into a bowl and set it inside my sink. I use the tea to rinse off the oil (use the bowl so you can recycle what splashes off your face). Just keep doing this until you run out of tea. It really helps with my redness.
Then pat dry, but don't wipe the tea off your face. You should have just enough oil left that you won't need lotion. If you need lotion, do a small amout of sweet almond oil.
Once a week, between the massage and the tea rinse, I use rice flour to exfoliate. Be gentle, it doesn't take much.

In addition to eating plenty of greens and drinking 2 liters of fluid every day, my skin has been amazing.

I know that feel. Fuck, there's nothing worse than having a wrecked face for weeks as a reminder that you slacked off on your meds for a bit.

I would say just keep shopping antibiotics until you find one that works. Doxycycline finally did it for me but only after a ton of failed attempts. Retinols are generally great but you have to stick with them and be really consistent. With those it's a change you see over the course of months, so it can be frustrating.

I can see the streaks. The areas I applied it on for spot correction are noticeable. When I apply it all over I can see along my jaw where it stops. It's really awful and makes my skin look slightly darker.

Feeling like I'll have to give up and just try regular foundation.

>looks almost purple/gray
Lots of BB creams do that. I apply a foundation powder on top to bring me back to normal looking
>can see the streaks
You're not blending it properly
>areas I applied it on for spot correction are noticeable
BB cream is not concealer, and you're probably a shade or two off.
> I apply it all over I can see along my jaw where it stops
Again, you're not blending it properly. You're supposed to blend down your neck

Ah, I've heard others rave about some having full coverage with their BB creams. I've tried said ones and didn't get the same results. Usually for full coverage I just use a powder over it, which looks like I'll have to keep doing? I just hate how powder dries out my skin so quickly. Hoping for better.

Bummer, I definitely don't know what I'm doing. My skin is pretty clear so I was hoping to avoid covering my whole face if it's unnecessary. I'll try powder on top then. Thanks!

What would you consider the lightest BB cream?

[Anonymous No.6766113]

those with the darken or orangey BB cream problem, are you using Western brands? because I've only tried asian brands (usually comes in 2 shades, light and natural) before and they are all pretty pale, some might even give you an initial greycast but it fades away after a bit
most of the ones I've tried will slightly adjust in color to match your shade (it's not a miracle worker but it does change or fade a little)

and yah it's definitely not full coverage, tbh I feel that BB cream works best on ppl who already have decent skin it can really make it glow and whatnot but for ppl who have problematic skin then it's only going to be mediocre

Is it possible to eliminate acne scars? I have a lot of scars and stains in my face because of my heavy acne, I've tried adapalene for almost 6 months but my scars don't seem to disappear. Any suggestions?

Try niacinamide and chemical exfoliation. Also be sure to wear a LOT of SPF.

There's an article I just found recently, don't know if this helps any of you:

And in case someone here knows german (or doesn't mind using google translator), you could read this as well:

Hey guys. I've been dealing with bad acne for years, and its finally dying down, but I still scars and a few pimples here and there. Ive been thinking of trying out the tonymoly tomatox to lighten my scars. Should I give it a go?
Also, I have peachfuzz all over my face, which isn't even noticeable but makes applying foundation impossible as the product doesn't sit well with the hairs. Do you have any recommendations as for products I could use? Or if I should wax or thread or something?

Try Vitacreme B12. It's praised by a lot of asian gurus. I have combination skin with scars and some acne. I tried it for 2 weeks, it got rid of my acne and my skin is baby smooth! My recent scars have faded noticeably too. The only down side is, it can be a bit oily. It's great during fall and winter, not good for summer. You can use it as night time moisturizer though.

I bought Tomatox just for the container. The product itself is kind of weird... If you have seen those before and after pictures, the mask leaves a 'glow' on people's faces. That definitely doesn't last. People use it before they apply make-up for more coverage. I don't think it's meant to heal scars at all.

Use as little foundation as you can. Your skin is the most important factor in achieving the younger look. If you have a good skin routine, that helps a lot!

I don't have their Tomatox, but I do have the Appletox stuff and it's lovely. It's one of my favourite items and I use it every day. I'm actually going to put a review of it onto my blog soon.

is foundation really necessary?
i ask because i have freckles and i don't want to cover them up. i don't really have any experience with makeup, but i'd like to start using some.

If you use something with light coverage you should still be able to see them.

To the person who suggested Too Faced Primed and Poreless - I could fucking kiss you. I look at least 10 years younger with this shit. I don't have flawless skin but goddamn, with this shit, I come fucking close. AND it doesn't break me out!

I haven't tried the concealer yet (which btw, the name escapes me...HALP)

Skin type? Coverage level?

The other day I was joking with a friend and said "I washed my face yesterday" (referring to something stupid I said to her before) so another one says "oh really? It doesn't seem like it" because I have a lot of pimples/scars, this kinda irritated me as I wash my face at least once a day and I try everything to get rid of my spots but everything seems to backfire

You mean which is the lightest in color, or the lightest in coverage/feel?

For both of those, I'd say Naruko AMPM Skin Ecological Defense BB Cream. It was very sheer, and very pale- a shade or two darker than my skin when blended and oxidized, which is saying something. It was also pink toned. Not the grey-pink a lot of Korean brands are. Picture related.

Since that one was so light, I'm still looking to try the new Naruko BB cream (the apple seed one) in fair. Anyone have any experience with that?
