Because of a bad haircut, I'm going to try and salvage it by doing one of the short-haired Japanese cuts. Something like this maybe.

My question is, how do I start? It seems so fluffy for one thing. For another, I know that it needs to be layered, too, but I don't have the right kind of scissors either.

The biggest difference between loose and pressed powders is how it will cover. Pressed will give you more coverage but loose is more sheer and will provide a more natural look. Pressed is best if you're trying to cover up redness and sheer is best for evening out a complexion. I hope that helps! [Also, powder lessens the chance of cake facing]

Most likely: no. BB cream is not made to be very full coverage. If you want something that will actually cover stuff up I would go with a liquid foundation.
>>7623640
Its just you not being used to it. I wore glasses every day for years before getting contacts and it was a bit to get used to.
>>7624279
like the other person said go liquid then powder. the liquid would just smear around and destroy the powder you put on and make it pointless. Plus the powder can be used to set the liquid and make it look better.

Suggestions for winter skincare?

I've got moisturiser and body lotion that work well for dry skin there, but cannot for the life of me find anything that helps rid me of this horrible, flakey, dry, itchy scalp. No shampoo/conditioner has helped, and obviously I can't slather it with lotion like I can my hands or knees.

It only happens in winter. The rest of the year, I'm fine and flake free.

Get your self some Neutrogena TGel Shampoo and maybe Conditioner! (I know you said you've tried other shampoos but give this one a last shot; otherwise this is in the hands of a dermatologist.) I had REALLY bad flaking this winter and was recommended by the salon I go to to try it. Within 2-3 weeks it cleared up my flaking.

Just know you have to keep it on your scalp for a few minutes when it's really bad and may have to repeat it the first few times.

try to find out the type of skin you have; it's Dry, Sensitive or Normal, etc and find products that work on lightening it.
If it's just discoloration, it won't be hard to fix. Find a product that says "Lightening" and caters to your skin type. So Lightening for Dry Skin, Lightening for Sensitive Skin, etc.
Stay away from acidic products, when acid hits sunlight it will burn causing the skin to get even darker.

If you have elevated scars or sunken scars, you will have to consult your dermatologist. Over the counter stuff won't always work as your natural Ph levels might alter the outcome.

>>7627847
I'd stay away from it, Scotch tape has chemicals that are unsafe for consumption. If they are unsafe for consumption, they are more harmful to your eyes than to your stomach since our eyes are very delicate.
It might be convenient, but don't risk it. Use eyelid glue or actual eyelid tape, it's safer.

>>7628394
If you are tan or darker, there is no safe way to do it. Only way you can go lighter is by chemical bleach.
But if you are just slightly tan, I highly suggest looking up Glutathione. It is very popular in Asia and comes in forms of Pills, Creams and even injections. It also has great benefits that come with it other than whitening.

>>7629936
I have tried it and though my brows didn't grow more strands of hair, the very fine strands of hair I have on my eyebrows did grow thicker after doing it for weeks. So I'd say give it a go.

>>7631421
For dry skin it will work wonderfully. I highly suggest it to anyone with any skin type.
However, as for acne treatment it might not work. It will depend on the type of acne you have. If it's Hormonal, Cystic, or anything that is internal, it won't work.
It will only work on environmental acne, meaning breakouts from the elements and bacteria.

If it's only on your chin, I suggest you check up with an Endocrinologist.
It is most likely due to hormones.
Fruits and Veggies may help balance your Endocrine levels, it will take longer than 2 weeks and it won't drastically reduce your chin acne.

There are products to get rid of hormonal acne, I've heard great things about Obagi Clenziderm MD and Dermalogica, however the results will only last for so long if the source is not treated directly.

For any skin tones, generally go for a lipstick with blue undertones such as cool red and plums. It has to be at least slightly darker than your lips, deep colors work better. It wont make your teeth look whiter, just brighter and less yellow.

Different anon, and perhaps this is a ridiculous question, but I have a fair skin tone, "porcelain ivory" in most western brands. I also have very cool undertones, and it makes my body look blotchy and generally uneven even though I have no other skin issues. Would lightening work to solve this? I feel like I need to go either slightly darker or slightly lighter, and lighter might be easier to maintain throughout the year.

Search "hair removal buffer pads" on Amazon. I used these on my legs a number of years ago, and they actually worked really well, it's basically just really fine sandpaper.

If your hair is fluffy it will need straightening and hair product to look like that. You will need to thin it out at the bottom or possibly all over, and you can create feathering with a razor. You should probably go to a salon for this shit unless you're really confident with doing your own hair, and it doesn't sound like you are.

It comes with this attachment foot that you put in the fridge and the gel inside it freezes and cools your skin down when you epilate so it hurts less. Washes easily, too. Did my vag with it, was pretty cash.

I think she actually has the blush pot pressed to her cheek which to me s a bit odd. Maybe she blends it out with her fingers after? It seems like a light blush so. With regards to the other pictures I think she's adding a lighter colour under the eye and the gold colour. In 9 it could be a highlighter above the blush

Lightening wouldn't solve redness and neither will tanning.
Well, if it's just general redness, meaning it's not a skin disease or a medical problem, then maybe a systemic inflammation diet might help.
Or try to relieve heat from the body as much as possible, by cooling down, avoiding spicy food, alcohol and hot drinks.

Other than dieting, there is the cosmetic rout. Body makeup and spray tanning.
Spray tanning may help, just as long as you are sure that the tan is yellow-based, a lot of tanners are orange based.

>>7637187
Coastal Scents would be the cheapest alternative, their concealer palettes are good enough to be worn as cream foundation if you blend it out properly.
If you can dish out a couple of extra dollars, Ben Nye would be a great alternative.

But I really do suggest to opt for RCMA or Kett, their cream foundations are the best and you get a ton of product compared to everything else. Their pigmentation is also very opaque, meaning you need less product.

Is my hairstyle and hair... quality(?) appropriate for lolita? Or am I better off getting a wig? I've seen so many coords ruined by bad hair and I'm scared I'll fall victim to that as well. It's got flyaways, but for the most part it's shiny and healthy.

I think your hair looks very cute and definitely works for lolita. It's hard to say whether that cut is good for your face since you blurred it out, but you can do a lot with you hair at that length. I would recommend curling it or adding some volume though to balance out whatever headwear you are going with.

Sorry, I'm really self-conscious about my nose 'cause it's disgustingly wide no matter how much contouring I try to do. It's getting to the point where I'm kind of worried I'm genuinely too ugly for lolita.

Volume definitely sounds like a good idea since my hair is naturally kind of wavy. Never tried curling before, to be honest, but I kind of want to try. Thanks, anon!

Wayne Goss and Lisa Eldridge are okay, though I do like Wayne more.
Tutorials won't help if you're following the advice of gurus and people who have a different eye/nose/face shape than you, so try to find those that do first. The two I mentioned earlier are good and cover a pretty broad spectrum of facial features, but you might wanna branch out later.

Oh don't worry. I have a bulbous nose that is very apparent in profile. The most I can do is contour or just say fuck it and play up my round features (lots of blush on the apples of the cheeks, etc.).

You should be able to get a curling iron for pretty cheap to try it out (make sure to get a heat protectant!), but there are lots of no-heat and cheap ways to curl your hair. Good luck!

Maybe "blotchy" was a bad term. It isn't exactly redness, it's appears more like my skin has poor circulation, but only on occasion. On further research, it looks a lot like livedo reticularis, pic related. It tends to happen more often on my legs, but can appear on my torso and arms too. It'll sometimes go away with movement or making the affected part horizontal (vs standing up), but not always. I thought a darker or more even lighter skin tone might help it, but I'd prefer to stay away from spray tanning, if at all possible.

I get that sort of thing a lot too, and I'm also very pale. Since some of my other pale friends have the same problem, I figured it just came with the skin tone. Like your skin is light enough it doesn't hide blood vessels and general redness.

Well, the no.1 factor of aging is genes. If you have good genes then you don't have to do much.

However, if your genes are not in your favor, take preventive measures to keep your skin as healthy as you possibly can, especially while you're young.
This includes; Staying hydrated, moisturizing, using sun block, using eye cream, eating healthy, take vitamins that are good for the skin (Vitamin A, B3, C, E, K, Omega 3 and, Anti oxidants), sleeping right, reduce or avoid stress, Exercise often, and so much more.
If you wanna stay youthful forever, it'll take 90% of your time, money and effort. If you really wanna stay youthful for a long time, have botox, young celebrities take botox as young as 12 years old so they look good in their teens and adulthood.
Take it from someone who works in the industry, the thing with idols, models and celebrities is that their look is their money maker, looking good is their job and they invest so much of their time, effort and money into their physical appearance. For 1 picture, it takes 12 hours of preparation and a lifetime of skin treatments.

If you wanna go down that path and have the money to do it, that's awesome. But if you have other engagements, just do the best you can.

I'm very pale as well and I get that on my lower arms and legs a lot, mostly when it's cold of I've been sitting still for a long time. It's poor circulation and can happen to anyone but it's just more apparent on us.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. The thing about lip tints is generally they don't lighten, only add colour or even darken. If you want paler lips, you're going to have to use a lip concealer or the equivalent and make your lips are VERY well exfoliated and moisturized.

If you want pale lips, I recommend the skinfood tomato jelly one (after concealing, of course)- it's pretty light. The cat chu wink tint is a very strong, darker orange and I only use it for contouring my lips or doing the Korean gradient method.

Ugh... well I live in Europe, so lightening stuff can be rather hard to get...
So the only way for me would be to order stuff from Asia or something, but I wouldn't want to do that without having looked into some reviews first, I just have no idea where to start. Especially since almost every asian product advertises with an "lightening effect" wether they actually lighten your skin or not.
Oh btw, I have normal skin I'd say, can be dry sometimes too though.

Where in Europe? Because I'm in Western Europe and I've been noticing lightening/brightening/dark spot corrector treatments popping up everywhere lately. The advertisements are not as blatant as the ones I saw in Singapore but the products are here, like this MAC primer. I haven't personally tried this one, though.

Look for stuff with arbutin, niacimide, vitamin C, licorice extract, bearberry extract, etc. These are generally good for your skin and have mild (safe!) lightening properties. Also look into chemical exfoliation (e.g. with AHAs) to speed up the brightening effect. And wear SPF, of course.

I get most of my Asian cosmetics from
>www.bbcreamshop.eu/en
which is located in the Netherlands. They have a separate section for whitening products, as well as bb creams. Personally I wouldn't rely on bb creams for whitening and I don't know how effective the other stuff is but it's worth a try.

You will probably sweat that off too, or it'll be so sheer that you'll absorb most of it. I personally uses primer + powder + bb cream and it holds pretty well, just that I need to blot my face when I get too sweaty/oily.

Using a good primer will guarantee (Urban Decay, or even some drugstore ones) that your eyeshadow won't fade. Waterproof liquid or gel liner probably won't budge either. I would recommend going light with undereye makeup (no mascara on the lower lashes, etc.) just in case they smear.

I'm crossplaying a character with very prominent "pointed/angry eyebrows" soon--- does anyone have a good tutorial on how to clean up my brows/how to use makeup to get the shape I need? Pic on the right are my brows; you can see that they're very much downward-sloping normally.

I have plenty of experience with contouring but I've never really done anything with my eyebrows before!

Find a good primer+foundation. Just make sure you wash that shit off well, a lot of those poreless primers are a bit heavy. I tried Tarte's Poreless primer and it broke me out something fierce when I didn't get all of it off. /cgl/ tends to recommend smashbox, but it's expensive. Also try to get them as clear and small as possible before makeup, I'm working on that one myself so I can't offer any suggestions.

lmao, i replied very sleep-deprived and rushed but im glad you've taken some of my words kindly!!

please take my words with a grain of salt. i'm not a mua, i'm just another weeb with too much makeup to really know any better!

men should put as much effort into makeup as women, tbh. basic skincare, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, etc. i really don't recommend bb cream for males unless they're marketed for men. bb creams don't have great coverage, and they're better for everyday wear vs. looking your best.

research and invest in good products! good =/= expensive; you just have to make sure it's good for you specifically. drugstores can just be as good as brand. milani shadow eyez is a good investment if you want super pigmented, cheap eyeshadows. plus, they're pencils, so it might be easier for you if you don't know how to use a brush yet. rimmel's stay matte line tends to be pretty fucking great at staying matte. not sure if it's good enough coverage, tho.

I've been having a lot of trouble with my eyeliner, whenever I use it and it stays fine on my lid, doesn't smudge a bit unless I rub at it, but whenever I use it for wings it just starts melting downwards after an hour of wearing it.

It looks awful and happens with both liquid liner and gel primer or no primer. Am I just using the wrong products? My primer is Loreal Studio Secrets and I dont remember what my eyeliner is, but I think it might be maybelline? I'm not sure.

It happens to me too, I find that it helps a little if you put eyeshadow on it, or just go over it with a little translucent powder. This usually keep it up for 3-4hours without primer, and 6-7 with primer on me.

when my feet start to dry and crack in the winter, I slather on a lot of lotion (cream if available) and then wear socks to bed to keep the moisture against my skin. you can't put socks on your elbows, obviously, but you could wear a long-sleeved tee.

you can also try the above with high quality argan oil if you have access to it. I have the josie maran stuff that I just put a drop of onto my knees and elbows when I see they're getting dry, and that does wonders if it hasn't gotten too bad yet.

I'll take that advice into mind.

In terms of brushes, what are the recommended sets of them for beginners? But it's a sure thing that I'll start with drugstore.

I'll stay out of contouring until I learn how to deal with the basics.

For lips, is it a safe bet to just go with lip gloss for natural ones and go for lipstick for bizarre ones (JoJo's Bizarre Adventures)?

elf's studio line brushes has been holding up well for me. It's the cheapest atm. Coastal Scents is pretty cheap too, but I haven't gotten my hands on any yet.
ELF is at Target and Walgreens, I think.

For lips, it really depends on what sort of color you want. Revlon lipsticks tend to be really great, but you need to look up reviews online since there are so many. Nude lips are really hard to find tho, imho. I still can't find one that won't make me look like shit. You can use lip gloss, sure, but only if you dont mind the sticky tackiness of it. Lipstick is used to emphasize and draw attenton to lips, not to look bizarre and weird.

Also, if any ELF nerds care, the smudge pots are absolutely fantastic. Creamy, super pigmented, and doesn't move at all when I wear it. Brownie Points and Gotta Glow are really great.

Hi Anon! Koreanfag here and just wanted to give you an idea about the perfumes.

The first one, the creamy yellow color, has a baby powder smell. Like not exactly Johnson & Johnson but pretty close.

The orange one is very fruity and citrus-y. I think it's a bit juvenile if you're over 18+ but hey, if you like it, go ahead!

The pink one is my favorite. It has a like an old grandma rose/floral smell. I know the description makes it sound weird but I personally think it's the best.

The purple one is more of a general floral smell. It has traces of a lot of variations of flowers so it can be a hit or miss, depending on your preference.

The blue one has a green tea smell and is pretty weak. I guess it kind of gets the aroma of green tea but it's not as strong as the citrus or floral ones. This one and the baby powder ones are the most weakest / calmest scents.

I know they're really cute but they're a tad bit expensive for something their size. But if you're okay with it, by all means buy it!

Hope that helped. I'll be lurking if you have any more questions!

>>7671058
do you have lordosis, anon? assuming you weren't born with structural lordosis, your muscles might be tight and causing your spine to bend in and your pelvis to tilt forward. in that case, focus on stretching your low back (look for quadratus lumborum stretch) and your quads. if your shoulders hunch in, try to stretch your pectoralis muscles. and if you can afford it and have the time, I'd personally recommend seeing a professional massage therapist or neuromuscular therapist, as you might have things like trigger points locking your bad posture in, which just stretching won't get rid of.

as for slouching in general, try to perch on the edge of your chair rather than sitting all the way back, even though that's more comfortable. sitting right on the edge of your seat with your feet planted on the floor forces you to keep yourself upright more than if you sat back. if you sit at a desk at home, also consider replacing it with a stability ball, which will force you to use your core.

sorry for the long reply, I spend a lot of time assessing posture as an NMT myself.

Sorry this is so late after you posted this, but skintones can be really tricky to figure out. It's easier for some people than others. The best way I've found to really make sure you have a good idea of what your undertones are is to take makeup samples in various tones and try them against your skin and see which ones really stand out and which ones blend in better and go from there. There's actually a lot more to it than just warm or cool or neutral- I technically fall under warm because I have yellow tones with some blue and a little green, but most warm shades look orange on me. So don't just go by warm/cool, try out different shades that involve all the colours- yellow, beige, pink, red, orange, blue, green, etc. - until you find something that matches.

Does it have a visible head? If not, sounds like one of the cystic zits/nodule things. They're really deep underground, very huge, painful, and don't go away. I think they might be hormonal.

If it is, try a warm compress every so often. Sometimes I slap a bandaid over mine and leave them the hell alone for a few days. Sometimes they'll come to a head after that. Sometimes they just go away on their own eventually. They can take a while, though. If you really want it GONE NOW, go see a dermatologist.

Actually, this might be unpleasant but it is the easiest way I've found. Take a bath before bed, put your hair into a pony tail and maybe aid a couple more bands to get more waves and sleep or leave your hair like that as it dries. (That or take a hair dryer if you're impatient) I used to do that because I'm lazy with my hair and I had alot of waves in it once it dried.

Okay, so I took biotin supplements for awhile (late Oct. - late May) hoping it would help my skin (I had mild acne) and hair growth and broke out pretty badly. I thought the acne was just stress related from work, but once I looked up online for a correlation between acne and biotin and found similar cases, I stopped taking it and a ton of the small rosacea-y looking bumps went away.

Thing is, although my skin has cleared up, I still haven't fully recovered from it. I've got red marks and a few cysts deep in my cheeks. Has anyone else had experiences with biotin breakouts? Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process? Right now I'm using Burt's Bees Acne Cleanser (started using once a day last week, twice this week) and it seems to be helping a little bit. I can cover my marks fully with concealer and powder, but I wish I could go bare-faced again without feeling self-conscious.

Depends, what's the issue that you want primer for? If it's that you have oily skin then you need that primer layer under your makeup or it will slide off eventually

as previously mentioned, the little nail stickers will do well for that, they're somewhat durable so they won't just fling everywhere but not too hard to take off.

Alternatively, I find that some of the cheaper (dodgy) brands of nail glue can be a bit weaker, what you can do is place a small dot of glue in the middle of the nail and press the nail down, if you just soak your fingers in warm water at the end of the day, you can gently pry them off with an orange stick or something similar. I've done this a few times and it's made no real difference to my nails themselves. (I bite my nails something shocking but they're actually quite strong and healthy, albeit short!)

What does /cgl/ have to say about skin whitening?
I'm Mexican and I was born with a more peachy tone than tan, but as a kid, I would play outside every day, ESPECIALLY in the summer, so that's years of unhealthy skin damaging. I was much darker back then, but now my skin is a much lighter tan. The thing I don't like is that it has a lot of yellow undertones and it makes my skin look yucky. I've been thinking about whitening my skin to get a prettier color, because I'm also a fan of fairer skin.
I've heard papaya soap is a good option, as well as whitening creams such as Secret Key Snow White Lotion. I've also heard of using lemon scrubs but we all know that that can't be good for you. Any tips/suggestions?

Please, please, please anons// fpr the health of your skin DO NOT BLEACH.

Pretty much anything that is specifically designed to "whiten" skin is going to be really damaging and possibly cause cancer in the long run.

Try salicylic acid to whiten, if you must. They sell it in creams and washes, usually they're designed to treat acne.

And of course, avoid the sun, carry umbrellas, wear protective clothing, wear sunscreen...

Get a eye make up primer.

The best is Primer Potion by Urban decay. Don't bother with drug store eye primers, they're shit. Also, some people I know like Two-Faced primer, but it didn't work at all for me, and it was only like $1 cheaper than the urban decay stuff

Anonymous Wed Jul 16 18:04:46 2014 No.7689494

It has some basis in truth, but it really depends heavily on what make up you're wearing (lower quality make up can cause acne and other skin irritations), how heavy you wear it (heavier obviously is harder to remove, can cause skin problems), how you remove your make up (scrubbing and pulling/rubbing the skin can cause wrinkles to appear faster)...

So basically yes, and also no.

Papaya soap is a form of gentle chemical (enzyme-based) exfoliation, which you definitely should be doing if you want to get rid of a tan. Don't use lemon juice or harsh scrubs because you'll just be irritating your skin (which could lead to hyperpigmentation).
Exfoliation + sunscreen ALL DAY ERRY DAY should in the long run make your skin lighter and more youthful-looking. However they won't get you any lighter than what you were born as, because they don't inhibit pigment.

Pigment inhibition can be risky. Stuff that has a rapid and clearly noticeable effect like hydroquinone is considered possibly carcinogenic and banned in many places, so I wouldn't recommend that. There are other safer compounds that stimulate cell turnover and inhibit pigmentation like arbutin, licorice root extract and niacinamide which are actually beneficial to your skin, but they don't give fast or extreme results.

Basically treat your skin gently by exfoliating it, protecting it from sun damage and nourishing it with beneficial active ingredients. Your skin probably won't get more than one or two shades lighter than what you were born with but it will be healthy and radiant. Healthy tan skin > damaged white skin, imo.

Ok guys I need help. I'm experimenting with eyeshadow for the first time ever and it's not remotely working out like any of the bazillion tutorials I've seen. My eyelids are thin to begin with but primer (Etude House) + eyeshadow (Rimmel London) turns them into this crepe paper-y mess. I can't very well accentuate my crease when it's doing this, or really do anything else. There's practically no elasticity so any time I swipe the brush one way the skin goes along with it and stays there.

Does anyone else have this problem? Should I start using eye cream and if so, what brand would you recommend? I'm pretty sure the primer makes it worse but the colour doesn't really show up without it.

Goddamn I'm only 22 years old and the skin everywhere else on my face is firm, it's just my eyelids that decided to age 50 years.

the skin people are born with isn't their true skin tone just fyi. If you have yellow undertones you'll never have a pink or peach tone.
Melanin doesn't set in for a while after we're born. In fact many white children, like kittens, are born with blue eyes that change 0-6 months after birth or even upto 2 years after birth while the melanin kicks in and reaches its programmed levels.

That being said you'll never reach the tone you want but you can always abuse foundations to temporarily make your skin tone lighter and pinker but would need a good amount of layers.

Are you holding the skin taught when you apply the makeup or just rubbing it on as your eyelid sits naturally?

It looks to me like you're putting a nude colour on so it won't show, no. Try it out without primer with a darker colour to get used to applying before messing around with primer. You will be surprised at first and think it looks silly, but keep trying it out.
A lot of people swear by primers for eyes, I would only use something like Urban Decay's primer potion when using something darker that'll look terrible if it smudges.

I was talking about darker colours, yeah. I'm actually wearing four different colours in that picture, including a highlighter and two types of brown intended for shading. The colours are a lot more noticeable IRL than in the picture but without primer they're hardly there at all.

I tried again without primer and it's definitely better but still kind of weird-looking. When I'm not wearing anything on my eyelid I do sometimes have a double crease but nothing like this.

I was messing around on aliexpress and found this thing, is like a whitening soap.

The info it had was this:
Use the first day, you will feel a sense of unprecedented clean.
Use the third day,deeply remove dirt places, and promote skin metabolism.
Use the seventh day,skin supple and smooth, some fade melanin.
Use the fifteenth day,the skin white, moist, elastic.
Continue to use, effect is more obvious.............

1 After use, the surface would appear similar to bubble water droplets, This is crystal inside live oxygen rich and active performance
2 Enzyme crystal molecules is very small,it is easy to dissolve.So,please don\`t put the crystal soak in the water or a long time in the damp air.
3 Enzyme crystals suitable for all type of skin and problem skin.Except of super sensitive skin

I don't know whether to post here or in the hair dye thread but I want to chop my hair off so badly. I've had long hair for the longest time in my life so far (about 4 months minus the ugly in-between stage) and it sucks having to tie it up every day and still have it getting in your face. Plus, less hair dye for bobs.
Anyway, I wanted to bob my hair again but the problem are three things:
1) most bobs end up looking like bowlcuts on me if I don't fluff them up and I want to get something as low-maintenance as possible.
2) I don't want straight bangs but I also don't want hair in my face that sidebangs tend to cause.
