I use Quickflicks eyeliner STAMPS -Bam! Bam! and the wings are done. thequickflick.com.au They aren't cheap (though I picked up my first set at the chemist for $5) and I don't know if they're available in US. I use green or blue, because I always find black makes my eyes look tiny, but it comes in brown as well. I use the 'Grande' (four sizes of stamp) and I usually double-stamp: eye-edge, and crease, to enbiggen the eyeSerindehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914189716776907586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-15573758220110175722020-01-30T03:23:54.792-05:002020-01-30T03:23:54.792-05:00Hello, this weekend is good for me, since this tim...Hello, this weekend is good for me, since this time i am reading this enormous informative article here at my home. <a href="https://www.aurame.in.th" rel="nofollow">แป้ง aurame</a>hijaz shaikhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222720829597262833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-70127598823920638452020-01-24T11:21:56.098-05:002020-01-24T11:21:56.098-05:00If you like a good side-by-side preview...

Many affordable brands have great products. I'm on the Colourpop bandwagon. Essence Lash Princess mascara is so good and ~$6 (I'm religious about swapping out mascara every three months, so inexpensive is key). Wet & Wild liquid catsuit lipstick is great and ~$5. NYX or Elf liquid eye shadow is nice when you wanna slap on some sparkly with minimal effort or use it as a primer.<br />I eschewed the winged liner - between my hooded eyes and the fact I have lots of skin texture (before the wrinkles arrived!), it is just a no-go. I'm fine with it, because it is a cute look but a level of daily effort I wouldn't want to put in anyway.<br />I agree that Wayne Goss has some good hooded eye tricks that work for "normal" people since he's got lots of tricks rather than innate artistic talent.hgeisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882021734683773727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-17821314347987836632020-01-22T18:03:12.425-05:002020-01-22T18:03:12.425-05:00Not $10 or less, but Shine Cosmetics is my absolut...Not $10 or less, but Shine Cosmetics is my absolute fave BB Cream (and really all their products except the mascara). They're leaping bunny certified and woman owned. The BB cream is the perfect light/medium coverage, basically bullet proof (even in heat/sweat/long days) and goes on so well with fingers. Their lip glosses are amazing. Great pigment, wear super well, not sticky and gross. I also love their brow wand, concealer, bronzer and blush. And now I'm realizing I totally sound like some kind of influencer, but I'm not. �� I just really love their stuff because it works so well. ��Dana Strotheidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516840486005234468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-14523208648571386352020-01-22T15:08:11.542-05:002020-01-22T15:08:11.542-05:00I really enjoy Simply Nailogical's channel.

She loves Holo, she will teach you the differences between real and fake holo, and if you're not careful she will convert you into a holosexual too. She has a drink slave/boyfriend Ben AKA Beyyyyyyyn who brings her tea in almost every video, she is an introverted nerd and they have 2 cats, Zyler and Menchie. She has a series of videos from her "Teach Me How to Beauty Tour" you might enjoy. She met with several YouTube Beauty Gurus and had them try and teach her How to Beauty. She doesn't take herself too seriously, so I find her very approachable and human, and funny. I think you would enjoy her. This is episode 2 from her series on Liner & Lashes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbt3AFTRCHQ.<br />Bonus video of her crafting with her cat's hair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hKjVRYmrRk.

She doesn't do much in the way of YouTube tutorials these days but she's got a bunch of her tutorial stories highlighted on her Instagram profile... this allure recap does a nice job of breaking down her tutorial for winged eyeliner on hooded eyes:<br />https://www.allure.com/story/winged-eyeliner-hooded-eyes-trick-katie-jane-hughes<br /><br />It's kind of wacky seeming but you're such a talented painter I bet you could nail it!<br /><br />I like her a lot because she is a big proponent of skin texture showing through in her looks, and she talks about anxiety too and is just an all around lovely human being.

You use a tiny bit and gently smooth it over your face before putting on foundation/base; it helps fill in fine lines and smooth out your skin so you need less makeup. AND it's basically just silicone (dimethicone) so you can use it as an anti-chafing cream or on your hair for flyaways in a pinch. renitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752356387416880615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-5018640950611854412020-01-21T09:43:04.361-05:002020-01-21T09:43:04.361-05:00I totally agree with you on using make up to play ...I totally agree with you on using make up to play instead of conceal!

They have a lovely neutral eyeshadow palette that I use almost exclusively when I bother to do my makeup at all.

Currently, I'm able to do Hard Candy for mascara and eyeshadow, Physician's Formula for eyeliner and foundation, and Burt's Bees for lips (the tinted chapsticks are my favorite, highly recommend). <br /><br />I'm also a big fan of doing colour in hair... though I'm kind of timid when it comes to actual dying (I've done it, I loved it, but the upkeep was difficult in the situation I was in), so I use clip-ins. I've got multiple colours (including rainbow tinsel) and I just mix and match as the mood strikes me. There's even a couple made from "cheap nylon doll hair" that I can curl and set with boiling water. Caitlin Ford is currently my favorite YouTuber when it comes to hair colour, she does stunning rainbow hair designs.<br /><br />My other big favorite is nails. Again, mostly the cheap stuff from Walmart with a thick glossy coat on top to make it last. I hoard nail stickers/gems to decorate with, and glitter polishes make everything better.Maenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-86512121590260474462020-01-20T17:44:52.935-05:002020-01-20T17:44:52.935-05:00I have hooded AND downturned eyes.

Both are fun to watch, have a good sense of humor, very human in their life experiences, and don't make me feel like I should hide my face unless it's covered with a thick layer of cover-up (and my skin is pretty sensitive, so I can't play as much as I would like without going to a level of rash that makes people shrink back in horror). Additionally, can I recommend to the world to go to see a dermatologist? My Mom took my to one when I was a teenager and I go back every year. When I tell people, someone inevitably says, but you don't look like you go to a dermatologist...right, hence, why I still go. It's great because s/he also screens for skin cancer and tells me products to try and avoid (and I don't buy any products through mine, so there's no selling in my experience). I feel so much more confident and I break out less.

That way I don;t completely kill my hair and, added bonus, the colours are nice and dark and jewel-like once I've dyed them in :D So far the best have been emerald green and deep purple, but Deep purple with two cerise sections or emerald and aquamarine underneath have looked pretty damn cool too.
