Can we have a makeup/hair inspiration/tutorial thread? Things out of magazines like this, or even things other have put together would be great.

I'll go ahead and post what little I have to get it going.

Ah finally some non asian tutorials, that shit is pretty useless.

[Anonymous No.6947864]

>>6947801
Useless for me because all of the asians in those tutorials have double lids.

Depends where you put it. Too low and your eyelid might just fold further into itself. Too high and it'll look puffy. Between those, it's great.

Yeah, it's really difficult to tell. 1 - 4 and 5 - 8 look like two different tutorials.

1 - 3 look like she's taking the front sides of the hair, maybe tying them, then lifting the end and pulling it through the top. Then 4 ties the end with the remaining hair into a bun.

5 - 8... I can't really gauge.

Hello, I'm new into makeup and I need your help. I'm looking for some delicate, girly make up with warm colours such as red, oragne, pink. Or just any so-called 'dolly' makeup tutorial.

How does someone put lower false lashes on... They go over or behind your real lashes? Everytime I try I end up looking like a huge mess...

[Anonymous No.6950680]

>>6950661
I put them under my real ones, personally--I kind of just attach the outer corner first and then carefully tuck the rest of it under my real lashes bit by bit.

Ok I THINK this is what it is:

1. Section off the top half of your hair
2. Tie up top half of your hair
3. Gather up the bottom half of your hair
4. Pin up bottom half of your hair
5. Let down top half of your hair
6. - 7. Curl the top half of your hair at the bottom, do so at slightly different lengths and widths to have texture
8. Now your long hair looks short and curly?

Any good inspiration for blunter cuts for fine, fairly thin mid-length (about to armpit length) hair? I had it in a layered cut but it has grown out and looks a bit straggly, like pic related, but thinner/flatter. I need to be able to tie it up for work, but other than that any ideas would be welcome.

Your brows really aren't that bad. If you want to thin them out just go from the bottom and work with your natural arch. If you tweeze from the quarter of the brows closest to your nose you can bring out the arch a bit more.

Guys, where should I buy false lashes? Looking for the typical cutesy styles that are common in most of these pics (and would fit classic and sweet lolita). I'm looking for both upper and lower lashes, a place that sells online and ships to the EU. Also, I'm ready to pay for good high quality ones, not just some random cheap ones from eBay. I've tried to ask before on different places but some are just so secretive of their sources. Halp?

Well not really, most of their change comes from wearing fake eyelashes

Am I the only one here that has long eyelashes and doesnt need fake ones?

[Anonymous No.6958484]

here's a question;

say I'm a guy, and, hypothetically, wanted to cosplay sailor mars...

in theory, what would be the best, easiest makeup to do, for someone who had little experience/coordination..?

[Anonymous No.6959625]

>>6958420
>most of their change comes from wearing fake eyelashes

did you not notice the contouring, smudged liner and eyelid tape?

You seem to have a knack for noticing the glaringly obvious bits.

>doesnt need fake ones

good for you. Unless natural eyelashes come with unique shapes/seperation then the usage of falsies isn't going to suddently die down anytime soon.

[Anonymous No.6959678]

>>6958484
Makeup application requires minimal skill, all you have to know is the basics like:

>how to buff foundation in
>taping off excess powder off brush before applying it
>taping off areas you don't want eyeshadow in etc


for eye looks all you really need is a steady hand and patiance.

Take note of your undertones and skin type before you buy makeup keep in mind that expensive =/= better.


>pic related, the kind of thick liner that would work for mars

[Anonymous No.6959745]

>>6958056
Don't know of any specific stores that ship to the EU, but you could look for brands like Dolly Wink or Diamond Lash for starters? If there's a particular style you like in one of the scans in this thread, I can try to translate so you at least have something to google.

[Anonymous No.6959783]

>>6952847
I meant to translate this before, sorry anon. Anyway starting from the pic on the left with the fast food and moving in a clockwise spiral:

- Constantly eating snacks and fast food
- Exposing hair to UV rays without protection
- Sleeping while your hair is still wet
- Using hairdryer/curling iron without applying heat protectant
- Shampooing hair in the morning
- Letting your hair stay wet for long periods of time after washing it
- Drying your fingertips (rather than your hair) - not totally sure of the meaning, and the tiny text is hard to read. I think it's saying that by focusing the heat on your fingers/where your fingers are on your hair, you end up overdrying and damaging your ends in particular?
- Scrubbing your hair when shampooing or drying
- Constantly exposing hair to air conditioners
- Using a plastic brush or comb

It's probably obvious by these are things you shouldn't be doing to your hair. The more of these you do, the worse you're treating your hair.

[Anonymous No.6959848]

>>6958056
If you've ever worn "high quality" expensive lashes like Dolly Wink it won't be long until you notice how flimsy and easily damaged they can be. Some lashes on clear band are basically useless after 2 to 3 wears because the strands tangle or slip off the band itself. It doesn't matter how carefully you handle them. Thick bands on the other hand can be stiff and very uncomfortable once they dig into the sensitive skin in your eye.

A lot of off-brand lashes last way longer than overpriced celebrity endorsed ones. With celeb endosed lashes you pay for the name more than you do for quality. Who's gonna know you're wearing Tsubasa's lashes once they're on anyway?

All that aside some good off-brand lashes can be found at ebay.

>stores.ebay.co.uk/specialmatch

galable lashes:

>www.amazon.co.uk/Miss-Eylure-Ava-False-Eyelashes/dp/B001J2ZIHI/ref=sr_1_44?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1350498890&sr=1-44

I've ordered from special match before and I think their lashes are of outstanding quality for the price but the clear band lashes get tangled with glue very easily and aren't salvageable after a few wears.

ebay has never dissapointed me so just search for whatever you'd like and make sure the seller has a 98%+ rating.

As for brands
I recommend

>diamond lash.
Their opaque band lashes are incredibly durable

>Love princess
Their multi-packs are a bargain. They use a really strong glue to keep their lashes affixed the packaging so anything on a clear band will be ruined once you manage to peel it off.

>Decorative eyelash
have a good selection of styles.

>NYX

Have a few unique lash styles, durable, no clear bands.

I have a question about ordering make up. I wanted to order something from beautybay or HQhair because they offer free international shipping (I live in Switzerland and some brands are hard to come by here). Now I read some good and a lot of awful reviews about these sites, and I don't know which of them are true. Does any one of you have any experiences with these sites or can even recommend me another one?
