You are me! Same problem. Try etude house Dr. Mascara fixer!! They sell it on amazon for like $9 and it is a LIFE SAVER! I’m on my second tube. A quick coat under mascara and your lashes will hold a curl for days!

Edit: here’s an amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/ETUDE-HOUSE-Mascara-Fixer-Perfect/dp/B004RK7I2W/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=etude+house+dr+mascara+fixer&qid=1558901737&s=gateway&sprefix=etude+house+dr+ma&sr=8-2

Thank you!! ❤️ And I got my septum jewelry from Zebra tattoo & piercing (www.mrzebra.com) but they only sell jewelry in store :( Here’s a similar one on Amazon tho: https://www.amazon.com/Centered-Stainless-Segment-Nostril-Piercings/dp/B0743P1XMX?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_5&th=1. Hope that helps!!:)

Face: - loreal infallible full wear concealer (vanilla) - Milani cheek kiss (nude kiss) - Wet n wild megaglo highlighter (precious petals) - Wet n wild coloricon bronzer (ticket to Brazil)

Brows: - Sephora tinted brow freeze (dark) - Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow Sculpt + Set brow pomade (715 honey brown)

Eyes: - Same bronzer all over lid - Loreal flash cat eye liquid liner (black) I love the tip on this! But the little template tool only works for a very specific eye shape imo - NYX jumbo eye pencil (French fries) - upper lid - NYX jumbo eye pencil (frosting) - lower lash line - Same highlighter on inner corner - FALSIES : zanlufly wispy mink lashes - style "wispy & natural"

Lips: - revlon ultra hd metallic liquid lipstick (flare) - Vaseline - Kinda crusty bc I ate before taking photos💀

The only use I personally have for lash curlers is to blend my lashes and false lashes together, so I gravitate toward half/mini lash curlers like this. You could perhaps use a mini curler for the inner corner lashes, and get the rest with your regular curler.

Is this good ? I think it's a felt tip Eyeliner , but idk how good is the brand ...

I guess that I'll have to buy 2 of them

Hey, I have super oily lids with a prominent hood. I don’t do many eyeshadow looks, however I use this Japanese mascara that does not budge unless rubbed with oil.

I find that this nyx liquid liner works best for me!

Here they are. Usually overnight ships, they carry smaller packs of them for a bit less but this pack is cheaper and lasts a long time because you can technically use each one three times if you put it back on the wax paper once you have used it.

They’re literally a god send. I have hooded eyes and shaky hands and no stencil or stamp or practice ever worked for me. These do! Eye Candy Eyeliner Stencil Pads - For The Perfect Winged Tip Look. Created by Celebrity Makeup Artist. Reusable, Easy to Clean & Flexible. Cruelty Free & Vegan, Made in USA (Pro - 1 pk) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HCX9NRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_XCKQX8SZXSMB2P8453F3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you!! <3

I get my roots done every 12 weeks (naturally dark blonde), and she uses a blue and violet based toner. To upkeep the tone, I use the Bold Uniq purple shampoo once a week in the shower for ~5 minutes (I swear by it, keeps my hair white in between appointments). I avoid sulfates because they strip the tone and dry out my hair. I wash my hair every night with a gentle shampoo :)

Oh man, I wouldn't know. I got my hair done professionally. I'll tell you this though, my hair was white originally and then I started using Canola No Yellow Shampoo and Mask, you can find it here, and that's what made my hair get the platinum silver sort of look to it.

Ah I love that mascara! Maybe try it again? I use this one

Chella Heated Eyelash Curler - Safe and Gentle Won't Damage Your Eyelashes - 1 Unit Total https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A45YX18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_4tlQrNlYzrObK

The clamp style ones pull your lashes out so def avoid them

I’m not sure exactly which pic, but I’ve seen soooo many rainbow looks lately (I’m gonna go search now and see if I can find that specific one!). I personally buy multipacks of paintbrushes at the craft store (they’re super cheap so you can get a few different sizes to work with, just make sure they’re face safe!), let me go hunt down a link to the ones I have and I’ll update this comment with them!

Edit: here’s the brushes I use currently!

Instead of making makeup, I’d really like to marry beauty and tech. A while back a company released a smart mirror (Amazon link) and it was supposed to do a bunch of cool things, but didn’t live up to its promises. I’ve thought a lot about this, and I think the concept can be built upon. Things I’d like a smart mirror to do:

-play videos and music. I’d love to be able to watch YouTube/listen to Spotify while getting ready.

-auto-adjust lighting- adjust the light on the mirror to the light in the room, that way you’ll always have the correct lighting to do your makeup.

-have a clock displayed at all times- this May seem pretty basic but I swear my time management problems are a direct result of literally not having a clock in front of my face at all times.

-Bluetooth- obviously I would want be able to listen to music as well as video audio.

-face shape predictions- this is more ambitious but it would be super nice to have a mirror that could detect your face shape so that you would actually know where to apply products for the desired effects.

-color scanning- I want something to not only match my foundations, but also help me pick eyeshadow colors. Also maybe a on screen color wheel.

-inventories- I’d like to be able to inventory all of my makeup so that I knew what I had, what goes together, what brushes to use, etc.

-smart phone app capabilities-I’d like it to be able to sync to a smartphone app so that I could carry all of my information wherever I go.

I think something like this would make my live just so much more convenient. I mean, it’s 2019, we have pocket computers now.

I use these brushes from Amazon!

Absolutely!

Thank you!! I got it from Zebra tattoo & piercing (www.mrzebra.com). Unfortunately they don’t have an online shop for their jewelry, but I found a similar one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Centered-Stainless-Segment-Nostril-Piercings/dp/B0743P1XMX?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_5&amp;th=1. Hope that helps:)

Hi there! morphe brushes are good, but if you are looking for a different cheap alternative for a beginner, theres a bunch of great value sets on amazon such as this one which is a full set that i purchased for a friend as a gift and got a great first hand review - Makeup Brushes Sets, Anjou... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S895DX3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share or the real techniques base makeup set, which is affordable and they have great quality and reputation if you want a brand name - Real Techniques Flawless Base Makeup Brush Set for Foundation, Concealer and Contouring https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MTUVCUD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_69I3EbVTB2ERS

as for contour sets, i would probably recommend the fenty beauty contour sticks which are a bit pricier but for a good reason, great colour range and blendability, but sleek makeup also does a great face form contour palette which is about £10 if i remember right, if you prefer powder. hope this helps! :)

Thank you so much!! I have decent lashes in general, however, I started using GrandeLASH MD serum about a year ago for a good 5 or 6 months, then eventually switched to Lavish Lash from Amazon. GrandeLASH tends to irritate my eyes and they'll get really red, but man that stuff works lol.

For the impact you see there, I give credit to my mascara and curling method. For starters, I have what I lovingly refer to as cow lashes (super long, super straight, basically pointing downward) and to get that opened bright eye effect, curling is a must.

I've tried a few lash curlers (even that more expensive Shiseido one), but my fav also happens to be the cutest. It's from Tarte and has the pineapples on the handles. I just really like the spongey curly pad on it. It doesn't give me the weird kinks a lot of curlers can give.

As for my method, I keep my curling focused at the root. If I curl to the ends, I lose the fan effect. Wayne Goss' curling tips changed my life, too. But again, I don't curl all the way to the lash end.

After that, it's two coats of the Maybelline Lash Sensational, three if I'm feeling dramatic AF lol.

Omg. I just sent you a novel lol. So sorry about that!

oo i second this! i slap a thick coat of the laneige lip sleeping mask at night and wipe it off in the morning. the mask softens any dead/dried skin on my lips and it comes right off while i’m wiping it away. after washing my face and such, i dab the hada labo gokujyun on my lips (sometimes a few layers if i’m patient), then seal it all in after it’s much pretty soaked in with the mentholatum rich moist lip balm.

i’ve used nivea, burt’s bees, basically everything and this is the only one that keeps my lips from flaking during the day even while wearing liquid lipsticks!

*just an edit: i’m currently using the chardonnay scented(?) flavoured(?) one (it’s in the pink tube) and the scent while pleasant to me, is pretty strong so you might want to get the unscented version if you’re sensitive to fragrance!
