Wear makeup with sunscreen in it (or just plain sunscreen if you're a guy/girl who prefers not to wear makeup) every day. Beef up your skincare regimen to include products that fight fine lines. Exfoliate, but don't overdo it.

I really like Clinique's repairwear laser focus serum. It's a bit expensive but worth every penny.

Whilst moisturing/spf will help slow it down, most lines (especially forehead/laughter lines) come from being expressive.

People have botox to stop them being so expressive essentially, but you can train yourself without needing that shit. I'm the same age as you but I don't have any lines (and some friends of mine had various lines from as young as high school age) because I'm not overly expressive and my default expression is a deadpan one. Just make a mental note of how often you do it one day, then try and reduce it.

I wouldn't worry about having every product be anti-aging. Seems to me like you would be over-doing it in that case. Especially if you have other skincare concerns (ie acne-prone, sensitive, etc.), it's okay to have just "normal" cleansers and toners and other stuff like that. I always feel like special treatments, moisturizers and foundations are where it's at as far as anti-aging products. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!

Here's what I'd suggest for anti-aging products:

Olay Regenerist microderm abrasion kit
Most of Boscia's skincare products
that Clinique serum that was already mentioned
a good Korean BB cream for your skin
a good eye cream and night moisturizer
a moisturizer to suit your skin type/concerns (preferably with an spf unless your bb cream has a high one)

Again, this is just my opinion! If someone else has better suggestions please step forward.

So I have had amazing acne problems ever since I hit puberty. I've gotten a lot of it under control but I'm still prone to a LOT of blackheads all over the place and 5+ zits on my face at any given time. I've been using Olay's combination/oily face wash in the mornings, and Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash in the evenings. That's been working alright, but I recently started working in the kitchen of a fast food place, and now my acne has gotten really bad again. I switched to using the Neutrogena morning and night and my skin is back to 'normal'.

tl;dr I have a lot of blackheads all the time and work in a grease-tacular kitchen, wat do?

Yeah, I do it myself a maximum of three times a week. You can get them on amazon, but don't go buying a cheap one. The needles will bend and the handle will break. I have a 2.5mm one which is good for reducing wrinkles, stretchmarks and scarring; ideally you want a minimum of 1.5mm. There's no point in buying a 0.5mm at all, it will do absolutely nothing for your wrinkles. Buy a sanitizing spray and use it on the roller before and after each session. Only use it on freshly washed skin. You should also rinse off your derma roller with some water after rolling. Don't share it with anyone!

I don't know how truly helpful it is, but I also like to use a collagen serum after each session and then apply a moisturiser on top of that. At any rate, I've definitely seen a noticeable improvement in my skin condition and in stretchmark visibility. For me, the actual rolling doesn't hurt at all, but the skin looks pink and feels a little tender for about 10 minutes afterwards. Pain tolerance is different for everyone though, so I'd suggest rolling it on the back of your hand first. If it does hurt too much, it's nothing a topical numbing cream won't fix. Please be aware that if you're using it on your face it's not suitable for getting rid of eye bags - the skin is way too thin and delicate there! It's fine for crow's feet at the sides though. Unfortunately I threw the box out and can't remember for the life of me what brand mine is, but there's a specialist store on Amazon that has very positive reviews. Hope all this is somewhat helpful!

does anyone here use SANA products? i have to change my skincare routine, and i'm interested in them.

for the most part i'm going to change back to some ole reliable products (hadalabo toner, shiseido the skincare daily moisturizer, kose deep cleansing oil) but i need a new cleanser and nightcream. for the cleanser i think i'm going to try kose's acne washing foam.

my skin was being super dry, and my routine worked for sometime but now my skin is getting acne and clogged pores/flaky skin :(

perhaps you've developed an allergy to one of your makeups? you could also have eczema, etc. try to gently wash the area with oatmeal and see if that calms it. if not you may want to visit a dermatologist.

as for the eyecream, i would say most people don't believe they work. overpriced repackaged moisturizers,etc. this belief is popular. i wouldn't say it's unfounded.

but for me, i would die without my eyecream. it gets rid of all my "dry skin" under eye lines and leaves my eyes shinny and moist looking. i use shiseido the skincare eye moisture recharge. unfortunately this is useless to you because it's quite expensive. i've tried other eyecreams, but i can't recommend them, as they all gave me millia and were ineffective.

but i would highly encourage you to find the source of your problem first before trying to solve it with an eyecream. you don't want to exacerbate the problem.

What kind of topical numbing creams can you recommend? I have never even heard of dermarolling until now (Why yes, I do in fact live in a cave. The bears are quiet neighbors and the rent is pretty low.) I'm doing some reading and it says it can help reduce acne scars? I look like the surface of the moon on my face and shoulders, and I would love to minimize the appearance. However my pain tolerance around my face is pretty low.

Can you recommend and BB creams, please?

I have oily, sensitive skin that's extremely blemish-prone if something is annoying it. I tried Smashbox's BB cream and even though it seems that they don't have the same benefits as the Korean ones, I still really liked it. It was a bit more pigmented than a moisturizer, spread easily, was good for my skin type and matched my color. The only Korean BB I can find that comes even close is the Missha 31 and that has whitening.

All the other BB creams I know of don't seem to be quite the right tone/shade for my skin or don't seem right for my skin type and concerns.

My mom recently bought me the Olay Foaming Face Wash for sensitive skin, after I've dealt with pretty persistent acne for probably eight or nine years, telling me that all the women in our family use it. I'm so fucking mad, because this shit works so well for me. I've only been using it for about a week, and my skin's cleared up faster than with any other product, or combination of products I've ever used. I guess I'll be using this for the rest of my life, like everyone else on my mother's side, but if it keeps working, whatever.

Right now, though, I'm dealing with some dark spots from acne. I've been exfoliating daily with a really mild exfoliant, (Aveeno skin brightening, or something like that- the one in the green bottle) and switching to something a little stronger every two or three days to help get rid of them. Once it gets warmer, I'll probably start going out more often, since tanning, I've noticed, speeds up the process. I've heard mixed things about daily exfoliation; some sources say it's good, some say it's too much.

I've had oily, super sensitive, acne prone skin my entire life.

I generally wash my face twice a day with Purpose soap. I put on a very small amount of ProActiv day and night. During the day, I moisturize with CereVe lotion, and at night I put on creme de la mer (it's a miracle creme... but it costs $150).

My makeup is usually MAC's studio fix powder foundation in NW 15, and I apply it with my Bare Escentuals kabuki brush. After that, I put on some of La Mer's translucent powder over it to give me an ethereal, fairy-like glow.

I use MAC's dollymix blush (very lightly) and MAC's double dare cremesheen gloss.

After this and a light application of mascara, I'm ready to go! I've had so many people compliment me on my skin :)

Listen up Ladies and Gentlemen.

Google search Essential oils for hair and skin, also can be used on eyelashes to make them longer and stronger.

Vit E Oil for acne scars and hair and eyelashes too

Joboba, Coconut, Caster, Almond oils

Rosemary, Lavender and chamomile..

Seriously these things work better than anything you can get in a store, essential oil based cosmetics are also superior.

For hair avoid using SLS, parabens and artificial fragrance.

Hair is made up of dead skin cells, omega oils and Keratin (similar to nails). Some essential oils are high in keratin (Neem, Carrot seed) which provide essential nutrients to cause cell repair and actually changes your hair dramatically if used everyday over a period of time. These methods also prevent baldness and any hair fall in men or woman.

Downside is they can be kind of expensive, but they work like you would not believe for nails, hair and skin.

Also don't smoke, or drink, avoid caffine and take B12 and biotin, Guaranteed to age gracefully.

If you use eyeliner, try drawing it a tiny bit past where your eye ends in the inner corner, it makes them not seem as round. Also, if you are using eyeliner on your bottom lid, never connect it to the upper line in the inner corner, you'll just close your eyes in and make them seem even rounder.

Get a pair of tweezers and start plucking the hairs from underneath your brow, on the outer side, so that your brows get an arch and go from thick to thinner as they arch out towards your temples. There are many tutorials online that can help you, or you can just go to a salon and get it done the first time, so that you can just remove the new hair as it grows without having to plan an entirely new brow shape.

Eyebrow question!

My hair is a golden blonde atm, and because I have darker eyebrows I usually use a bit of Dollywink brow mascara to lighten them. I'm going to a very pale silver/ash blonde next week, and I just know that my current mascara is going to be too yellow/orange toned.

Does anyone know any brands for a lighter/less yellow toned eyebrow mascara?

Super simple question, but I'd like other people's opinions. I want to get one of Maybelline's Color Tattoo shadows, but I have no idea which colour to get. I only want one, two at most. I have brown eyes and I'm about a NC25-30, and I wear glasses. Which shade would look best on me? I don't really wear eye shadow much, and I have no experience buying single shadows.

I don't know what to do with my hair! I've been trying to grow it for so long but it wont grow longer without breaking off. I don't use heat so my hair usually looks terribad like pic related, 2 day hair straightened from a ponytail, its usually curlier.

I had it red for awhile but it didn't suit me so I used a wash out dark dye and its a patchy mess. Don't know if i should give it a chop and try to get my hair its natural colour then grow it out or if I should soldier through and keep it at length and horrible layers and maybe dye it.

>>6435238
Maybe you could go to a salon and get them to bleach them. Around my area its $15 thereabouts to get it done. Then you can use a very light brow powder and get it to color your brows

Your eyes are gorgeous girl! If you want to reduce breakage, use extra virgin olive oil on the tips, it moisturizes your hair. For dye, I think dark brown or dark auburn would suit you. Is your hair layered? Curly hairstyles will help your hair look 'fuller'.

i think the color they are now will do fine with silvery hair.
when you go unnaturally blonde you no longer have to follow the "two shades" rule, but instead go for what fits.

but to make them lighter you can get a mixing medium for mascara, MAC sells one, and then make whatever color you want.

Hey, Lush employee here. Just thought I'd mention we have two holiday cleansers for sale right now that I'm REALLY loving--Buche de Noel which is great for fragile winter skin, and Let The Good Times Roll which is a face polish/scrub that smells almost unfortunately delicious.

On the wider topic of Lush products...Anon who gets UTI--ME TOO. Yeah. I love how the bath bombs smell, but they can absolutely do that. It's a huge pain.

I urge everyone to try using Ultrabland at least once, even if you think it's not for you--it has changed my skin. I'm pretty combination and figured it wouldn't work for me as it's super moisture intense and seems like it's for ultra dry skin--it's basically oils and beeswax mixed together. But I learned at training the Lush founders SWEAR by this product obsessively and so I gave it a try. You need something to wipe it off gently after you put it on your face (I use a warm washcloth) and some people like using a scrub in conjuction with it to give it a little more power (I use Angels on Bare Skin or a homemade honey/sugar scrub beforehand) but...my skin is SO SMOOTH now. I really needed that moisture and I had no idea. It might not actually be a silver bullet for you the way it is for me, but if you have the cash, try it out.

One thing though--I gotta say, I'm not loving our Emotional Brilliance makeup line. The colors are gorgeously intense, but the eye products crease like mad and they can sometimes get a little gross. I was testing an eyeliner on a woman's hand today and it came out clumped and gross and augh. I just don't think the totally all natural thing works here--jojoba oil just doesn't work with cream eyeshadow.

(for anyone looking for a job though--I urge you to send in a Lush resume. It's a retail job, yeah, but I really actually love working here.)

The thing is, I have a pimple.
This may sound normal and not that big of a deal but the thing is I never get pimples. I don't have acne at all.
Was this one caused by the olive oil? Is it safe to keep using it? I don't even use that much, I just put literally one drop on my hands and spread it on the drier parts of my face.

Heh heh, no big! I'm just used to saying "tell me about your skin!" ^^

For skin...perhaps try Herbalism. It's very good for congested skin, oily skin, all that, but isn't quite as intense as Dark Angels or Coalface (though if you're looking for an intense, oil-killing, perhaps once-a-week scrub, Dark Angels can be great!). You might also try Angels on Bare Skin--it's very gentle and good for a whole lot of skin types. I didn't think it'd be for me (thought my skin was too oily) but it's made it much smoother and I like how gently exfoliating it is. Perhaps check out our Enzymion moisturizer--it's good for oily skin too. Also Vanishing Cream, which is super light (if you don't want something too heavy) or Imperialis which has little bit of everything for skin that doesn't scream any one quality.

Also, maybe check out our toners! Tea Tree Water is great for oil, Eau Roma is nice and softening, and Breath of Fresh Air is a great combination skin kind of product.

Hair wise...well, we're dropping eight new products on Black Friday! One of them sounds like it might be for you--it's a hair treatment called Roots, really good for fine thin hair (though I have not tried it myself yet). Shampoo wise, maybe try Rehab--it's got a little bit of everything and makes my hair feel soooo nice. For extra greasy days, perhaps try I Love Juicy--all the citrus is great for mopping all that up. I also really love our Dry Shampoo, if you're into that kind of thing---could be good for your hair.

And ooh, I've heard good things about that Lush shop! Best of luck!

I went to Lush for the first time yesterday with my mom to find a gift for my sister-in-law, and all the scents of everything were just way too strong for me. I seriously had to step out after ten minutes while my mom finished up because I couldn't handle it - I have a sensitive sense of smell, but I've never had this happen in Bath & Body Works or anything, it was weird. Pretty much put me off to all the products, even if some aren't as strong.

I also found out lavender can induce pregnancy in the third-trimester from the Lush employee, since my sis-in-law is pregnant, so she said not to get anything with lavender.
Found that interesting.

Bath and Bodyworks doesn't really have the bath bombs and soaps out might be why! The samples are usually in plastic packages so there's a nice little smell barrier. While it sucks for us with sensitive noses, I'm pretty sure they have to be out because customers will want to open EVERYTHING. I work in a legwear shop and even WITH displays on the mannequin and hangers people can touch and great lighting, people want to open our goddamn packaging all the time.

And I guess part of their appeal is that you can get big chunks of the soap and everything kind of looks like the gem exhibit in a museum. Rocky and shiny. Sucks, anon. It's like a wonderland I have to walk in an out of every 5 minutes

This is probably really dumb of me, but I don't understand how Lush stores work. In the one I visited everything was displayed out of its packaging, and it looked more like a fancy bakery than a cosmetics store. I get that a big selling point is that these products don't need preservatives, but how do I go about buying anything? Do I ask an employee to cut off a slice and put it in a container? I have really bad social anxiety and the store tends to be very crowded, so I didn't dare ask anyone for help. I ended up just buying a bottle of Tea Tree Water because it was one of the only pre-packaged products I could see. I'd really like to try scrubs and stuff, though. Help?

Not the lush-employee, but a lush shopper here! My lush has small metal shopping baskets by the door. Grab one, and then you go ahead and pick the items you want. The staff will package it for you at the register and often glue on a "how to use"-tag. Soaps and other things that they cut from larger pieces might not have the size you want, you can ask the staff to cut it to your specifications.

your eyes are just perfectly almond and straight, not droopy at all... aka the most "perfect" shape for make-up (not necessarily the best looking but the one that most make up tutorials work with anyways).

instead of this, wear a different loose 100% t-shirt every night. you can get like a men's fruit of the loom or w/e 5 pack for like less than $10
but keep this up

>back scrubbing
this might be your problem, too much exfoliating can cause blemishes as it can cause micotears in the skin which allow bacteria to get in and cause blemishes, or prolong the life of them.

basically, you should wash everything and rinse everything before you wash your back- back last because the things in shampoo and conditioner can clog the pores of your back. especially conditioner.
you should only exfoliate your back 3x a week, finer milled products are better than big beads.
you should also use an astringent, they make ones for acne that you can just put in a spritzer bottle and spray all over your back. it's a bit awkward, but you'll get the hang of it.
don't forget to moisturize too, the over active oil glands may be a result of dry skin.

also, don't be afraid to use acne face washes on your body. just don't use it on sensitive areas (like nipples and genitals) i really like Neutragena (sp?) green acne wash, you can use that on your back on days you aren't exfoliating.

good luck

i have this as well and really time is the only thing that has helped me. i know have much more minor redness and only a few bumps. still all over, but there is finally clear spots between the bumps instead of a cluster fuck of bump.

however, my mom has also always had it and it's still has it about as bad as you pic related. actually, a bit worse. more redness.

i really think it's something only you notice, because so many people are like "oh you're so lucky, you're pale but you don't have the red bumps on your arms!" and i'm like- yes i do. and i never noticed it on their arms either.

but if it really bothers you contact a dermatologist, many have free consultations.

Asked this in another thread but I guess it was a bit too off topic-
I'm looking to buy some extensions again but I was wondering are there some brands where the wefts are thicker? Last time I bought some from Sally's and ended up needing 2 packs.

Also any tips would be great!

i have made my own extensions since i was 15. i have never been okay with 1 pack of hair. i don't know anyone who is, unless they want longer hair and not fuller hair.
also, very few extensions that you sew up yourself come in double wefted. you always want to double weft your hair. i have never seen any, but i have heard some people have found them.

what seems to be the general rule is, the shorter the hair the longer the weft- and the longer the hair the shorter the weft.
i bought 2 packs from the same brand, one in 20 inches the other in 18 inches and the weft length was vastly different.

what's the difference between a CC cream and a BB cream? I only see Western beauty sites talking about CC cream like it's the next big thing. It's supposed to be a "color corrector" and it's described as "matte, more like a foundation" compared to the usual sheer Western bb cream. Uh, that just sounds like a normal Korean bb cream to me.

Have Western companies finally figured out how to make a bb cream that's not a glorified tinted moisturizer and were afraid to market it as bb cream and expose their mistake so they had to market it as this brand new thing? Some sites are saying that CC creams are big in Korea too but I tried looking and I could not find this fabled Korean cc cream.

it's a gimmick, people who were disappointed will try the cc cream and since it will have more coverage they will like it. very few westerners have tried real bb creams, so they wont realize they're supposed to get real long lasting results with them.

they'll be totally useless for anything like- blemishes, discoloration, wrinkles, but with a bit more coverage.

cc creams will most likely have the coverage as a regular foundation, with maybe some moisturizer in them. putting them on alone, i will bet the cc cream will have more coverage. however, the point of bb creams is the long term benefits.

within a full month of using them you should be able to tell if they're better, worse, or doing nothing for your skin. so, it's not too hard.

when i want to try something skin care wise i just use it until i'm almost done with it, or until i can tell it's obviously not working or making my skin worse. the whole "your skin will get worse before it gets better" is a complete lie unless it's something very harsh like a chemical peel where you have to stay inside for a few days after getting it done.

with professional level stuff a "it gets worse before it gets better" can be normal.

but not with drug store, no. if it gets worse from a drug store product do not continue use. not even what you get from like a professional facial person- it should NEVER get worse before it gets better unless medically proscribed.

like, sometimes it works yes but sometimes (usually) there are really really horrifically damaging things people put themselves through that leave scaring that almost never goes away because they were just waiting for it to get better.

Do you wear any makeup on a regular basis?

Before I wore makeup I would always rest my hands on my face, but wearing foundation helped me! Just getting used to the feeling of makeup/being hyper aware of the "stuff" all over my face was enough to get me to stop touching it. Maybe a BB cream or something could help you if you don't already wear makeup? Same goes for eyeliner if you have a habit of rubbing/scratching your eyes! That was my biggest tick for years.

I also use bronzer on my jawline and under my cheek bones (I have a round face), but not as often as highlighting. I use Hard Candy's baked bronzer in tropics.

I only contour my nose (like in the picture) when I am very dressed up. It's so hard to get right and looks a bit ridiculous when I am dressed down.

Okay, this is going to sound weird but please hear me out.

I get the occasional spot, and the skin around my nose and forehead always seems really oily and gross.

My problem is, whenever I use product to try and sort it out, I get massive breakouts all over my face, and sometimes around my neckline as well. I usually resort to caking foundation and powder at cons, but I know that's pretty bad for my skin in itself.

As a guy who pretty regularly applies makeup (for daily use and crossdressing), could I get some advice? I've only really been involved in anything makeup related for about a month and a half now, and while I have a good teacher, any and all advice, especially regarding different products is incredibly useful. I don't grow a lot of facial hair (hurr half-Jap master race and all that dribble), but when I shave, it's still a little darker around my upper lip. Just foundation doesn't seem enough to completely do away with it (the only foundation I have is Covergirl&Olay's Tone Rehab and a Sephora sample of Urban Decay's Naked Skin [which I calculated the value to be a whopping 8 bucks each sample]).

Anywho, I'd like any product recommendations on a concealer, a setting powder, and any sort of blush, since the one I grabbed from Walmart (I am so sorry) is pretty shit-tier. I don't wear eyeshadow 90% of the time unless I'm crossdressing, but a good primer would probably be worthwhile, too. All I know is that e.l.f.'s primer is absolutely worthless, since it made my friend's makeup crease -worse- than it would have without it.

As a girl who just got into wearing make-up in the last year, I second this. I have no idea what I'm doing and am just crashing into it head-first hoping for the best.

Personally I have no idea how to do concealer. I would need it for acne spots and pinkish under eyes. I'm insanely pale because I never go outside, too. So I'm a little scared whatever I get would end up being too dark.

Good recommendations on blush and eye shadow/eyeliners/mascaras? Does anyone know of any white eye shadows that don't look ridiculously sparkly?

I've got color/eye shape/blush area settled, but I have no idea about primer/concealer or any good brands of anything. I, too, use random Wal-Mart brands.

Help! I dyed my hair with palty the same way I've done it every time for myself and friends with beautiful results, and for some reason it turned out completely fucking off this time.

The plan was to do my base colour and go to the salon on sunday for highlights and pink, but now it looks like a hot orange mess. I went from dark brown, bleached it to a warm orangey shade and was then going to cool it down with another shade... which has always worked before now.

what do I do? can I ask the salon to lighten it? I don't want to pay out the ass for colour correction... basically the second dye didn't take at all so it's half bleached.

Just get a nice BB cream (check out Prettyandcute.com, Missha's seems to be a popular choice) and set that with a powder concealer, any you buy from Ulta or Sephora should work, and if you're extremely pale you might even get away with just setting it with rice powder.

As far as blush goes I can't really recommend anything, I use my pink or orange eyeshadows very lightly, and never wear eyeliner. Urban Decay's lash curling mascara is god-tier, though. A very nice, pigmented eyeshadow is Tako by Sugarpill (sugarpillshop.com, and if you were wondering their eyeshadows are to die for).

That said, these things will cost you a pretty penny, but in make-up you really, honestly do get what you pay for. I've learned that the hard way many times over. I used to be the person who would be appalled by $8 lip stain and now I'm thinking it's a steal if my lipstick goes on sale for that cheap. Cheers.

For your upper lip, you can try using some white eyeshadow or highlighting powder if your foundation is not doing it. You can actually contour your lips this way if you want a brighter lip and a more prominent cupid's bow.

As for setting powder, I think it depends on your skin type - some powders are good for those who have oily skin, for example. I use Milani, but I think there are other good options at the drugstore.

For blushes, I really like Hard Candy's baked blushes (available at Walmart only), but I have lighter skin. If you are a bit darker, Milani's baked blushes are very pigmented.

Definitely invest in a good eyeshadow primer - Urban Decay and Too Faced are popular options.

Good luck!

I swear by the Lush facial cleansers, so far I've tried Herbalism, Angels on Bare Skin and Buche de Noel, but so far Buche de Noel is my favorite. I just wish Lush would make it a year-round product instead of seasonal. : /

After cleansing with Buche de Noel, and I usually spray their Breath of Fresh Air toner all over my face, and then pat it into my skin. I don't dry my face between cleansing and toning, and after toning i just let my skin air-dry.

My skin honestly looks so much better when I'm using the Lush routine.. I used to use products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to clear up my oily skin, but since I've switched to Lush I don't really use acne products much anymore.

I really want to try their Grease Lightening serum for spot treatment, but it's so popular that it's sold out everytime I go into the store. (Don't want to pay for shipping urghh)

If you haven't tried Lush skincare products, I seriously suggest giving them a try. I honestly never want to go back to my old skincare routine after switching to Lush.

Exfoliate yourself. I do it once or twice a week gently with just a washcloth and warm water, and then once a week I haul out the special product for a nice harsh sandblast. I have quite healthy/oily skin, so if yours is sensitive or gets raw/otherwise reacts badly, then cut back. Your skin should tingle and glow afterward, but not sting.

This stuff right here is my absolute favorite beauty product I have ever used (aside from B&BW bubble bath), and does the job nicely. It will make your skin feel fresh and perfect like you just came back from the beach and it feels soooooooo good. Scrub in circles with this, rinse off, then slap on your ultra-moisturizing toner and copious moisturizer (or mask), and you're set.

Lash Knockout by Deja Vu (same company that makes Fiberwig) is a good one; it's quite dramatic how much volume it adds.

Some people who use this says it interferes with curl, though, so you may want to use a hot curler and/or primer first.

Note: all the stuff I currently use is imports and I don't know about North American availability; sorry if that's unhelpful.

Nadeishko shampoo and conditioner is a silicone-free brand I've had some success with. I find the conditioner to be a little watery, meaning I need to use more of it, but it makes my hair feel really clean and manageable. Note that the floral fragrance is quite strong. Every time I've put my hair up after using it, there's this very strong burst of fragrance when I let it back down again, so I imagine it smells pretty noticeable throughout the day.

My #1 favorite right now is Shiseido's Ma Cherie line, though. It's not all-natural or anything like that, but I use the Air Feel stuff and it's wonderful. It will really make your hair look like the commercial; also adds a lot of lift to my very thick hair.

Yeah, one problem you won't have with Lash Knockout is clumping. It goes on like acrylic paint.

I use this and Fiberwig religiously, and though they're on the pricy side I consider them well worth the money. Hope it gives you what you're looking for!

If it's subtle, I don't think it would interfere much. You just want to lighten up the upper lip just a little bit, not make it completely white.

I don't really have recommendations for picking out foundation - you might want to figure out what undertones you have though. Some foundations suit pinkish undertones better while others are more yellow. I would say not to venture too much into a foundation that's too light for your skin, but pick something that is close to your natural skintone. If your foundation's too light it'll look like you are doing whiteface and looks even more awkward when your neck/chest isn't that color.

Can I get some tips? This was my second ever try at wearing "eyeliner". My eyelids are too hooded for regular eyeliner so I use brown eyeshadow. Any advice on how to improve my makeups? Ignore my derp haircut, my sister accidentally cut it too short so I'm waiting for it to look normal ..

Whenever I feel like my bangs were cut too short I tend to pull them back temporarily until they grow out a bit (Tends to take a week or so for me, but my hair grows fast?)
Also i'm not eniirly sure if blunt-cut bangs/hime cut suits your face. Currently I think you should thin/trim your brows a bit. Currently they look rather heavy and your bangs emphasize that. The shape is nice though.
Your eyes don't look overly hooded so I think a regular liner would work fine. If that line was extended on the top lid and tapered thin toward the inner corner it would better achieve the effect you're going for with that cat-eye; especially if you wear mascara as well. You look like you already have nice lashes so if you don't use mascara I think curling them might be enough as well.
You may want to take a better photo mostly because the angle and that bright light source on the side isn't helpful.

...your eyes don't look hooded at all to me. perhaps it's the pic, but if you can see that much lid i wouldn't consider the eyes hooded at all.

also people with hooded eyes can wear eyeliner, i have no idea why you think they can't. did you have some problems trying it in the past?

i don't really like this look...you look like you have a bit of dirt on the corners of your eyes.

you have small lid space, not hooded eyes. not hooded at all. hooded is when the skin actually folds over the lid.
you will lose lid space if you want to do a winged look, it's unavoidable. but you can do like what you're doing and tight line or push line your lid instead of putting the liner directly on lid space. this will save some of it.

Oh! and here I thought I had hooded eyes. They droop really heavy onto my lashline, so every liner I've tried has just gone all over the place + I have really unsteady hands .. I can't use eyeshadow at all, it just disappears in the fold. Also, below the wing, there's what looks like a smudge/dirt, but that's just some random skin discoloration I have. I try to cover it up, but it never really goes away. And I usually use mascara but I forgot it in this pic. As for my hair, I know blunt bangs don't exactly suit my face, but I feel more "myself" with them. I've had side and no bangs, but they didn't make me happy - I just love blunt my bangs no matter whether they suit me or not, haha.

well, the wing is what i thought looked like dirt. don't worry, i don't think your skin discoloration looks like dirt.

you have really bold black eyelashes, eyebrows and hair, so the brown looks a bit silly to me. it's also very light. so it looks like random dirt to me.

as for the "staying in place" problem - sounds to me like you just need a good primer. to make it stay in place.

what sort of eyeliner did you use? i suggest starting with a gel liner, it's easiest to draw on and correct your mistakes. it also lasts longer than pencil. liquid liner is good, but i think it's harder for some girls to use right off the bat.

for the eyeshadow, i suggest you just keep trial and erroring your placement of the shadow. everyone has different preferences etc, you'll find color combos and such that you will like.

this diagram might be helpful for practice.

i kinda like your short bangs, but imo you need to step up your makeup game to make them work. a bolder makeup look would make your features pop with such short bangs. also maybe try curling the bangs a little? it would and add a nice retro flare. no need to go full out bettie page, but a little curl would soften up your features.

A tip is to used a brown color that has no shimmer
it must be MATTE in order to look natural.
Also try to find colors that are neutral (not too cool or too warm). Have a color that's a little darker than your skin.

Nose contouring is part of my daily routine and I normally use 'naked' or 'buck' from my naked pallette. You can use an eyeshadow or a bronzer really all that matters is the color.

Finding the perfect shade of makeup could take time, money and effort so keep trying!

Try using a smidge of Vitamin E skin oil or just any other type of oil that you think would suit your specific skin type.

A lot of people with oily skin avoid using products with oil in them at all costs and that isn't exactly a good idea either. If your face hasn't got any oil then it makes more to make up for what isn't there-thus the overproduction and oil slick face. When it comes to using oils, I suggest using just STRAIGHT oils only. None of that commercialized scented lotion bullshit. Just go to a place like Whole Foods or Trader Joes and pick up a jar of natural oil (like rosemary, tea tree, peppermint, sage, or lavender). You face needs oil. Control how much is there but putting a bit yourself.

Also, be sure to give yourself a tough face mask about once a week. I recommending using Aztec Indian Healing clay which is sold at Whole Foods and The Vitamin Shop for about $7.

Well with lighter brown hair you can use lemon juice and a hairdryer. There are also spray-in hair lighteners that do it if the lemon juice is too acidic. I know a good brand is Sun-In. Good and cheap and it conditions your hair while it lightens.

I take a multivitamin. I didn't start taking it for beauty reasons but because I'm so busy during semester time that I don't eat properly so I was constantly tired. I have noticed that I get less acne than I used to, but other than that, I haven't noticed anything major.

Have any of you tried brazilian keratin hair treatments? In my local salón they offer one by "Kerapremium" that is supposed to straighten your hair for 3 months and in general make it prettier but I'm scared it wont really work or end up bad, couldn't find a single review.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 29 21:36:39 2012 No.6456681 >>6456662 Dang, this is super relevant to my interests as I've hated my frizzy hair forever. Any idea how much these treatments tend to cost and what kinds of salons would carry it?

usually expensive (they take two hours) like 100 to 200. That shit will work but its got formaldehyde in it. In all of them that work, no matter what they tell you, thats what bonds it to your hair and without it the keratin washes off super quick. It will last a few months if you use sulfate free shampoo and wait the 48 to 72 (depending on brand) hours to wash after its finished.

Hope this helps

I have pretty good skin naturally(in the sense that there isn't anything blatantly wrong with it such as acne) but I've been wanting to start a good routine anyways. I've never really had very soft skin, and I guess that's what I want my ultimate goal to be. Does anyone know any good routines to keep skin soft? (especially for the hands, since I work in a book store and they dry out super fast)

Invest in a hand cream. I use one from L'Occitane en Provence, it's very moisturizing but a bit heavy, so you don't have to apply it often.

I work in clothing retail, and I guess the fibers in the clothes are what dry my hands out. I feel your pain anon.

I'm in my twenties and still get acne it's ridiculous. I'm very pale too so, everyone can see my scars when I'm not wearing makeup. Any way to fade scars and help get rid of re-occurring acne? One almost always pop up on the side of my face after another on the opposite side of my face finally dies down. I wash my face once every day, drink lots of water, and have been for years. BB creme turns my face orange, even after using the lightest kind I can find. I've tried many products that always fail. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can never tell if my skin is dry or oily. In makeup my skin gets horribly dry super fast. Out of makeup it seems oily.

There's whats called japanese hair straightening. Idk if its actually japanese but yeah, its like the opposite of a perm. It makes your hair stick straight. Uses chemicals but its better on your hair then a relaxer and no weird things in it (from my knowledge) like the karatin ones. It runs about the same as a karatin treatment but it can take a little longer. Or hell I went to school with a girl who didn't like her perm so she put perm solution over it without the rollers and it straightened it. But she had straight hair naturally so I don't know if it would work on already curly hair and it it would damage it quite a bit.

You sound just like me ;0 ; My skin got a whole lot better after trying natural products, like honey face masks and making apple cider vinegar toner and using coconut oil as moisturizer. I also cut out drinking soda/eating junk food. It's very easy to find how to make these online, and they're much cheaper than buying commercial products. I used to keep getting acne on the side of my face constantly, and now it's finally almost healed up with no new pimples. I hope that helps, sorry if I blathered too much.

Also, try to wash your face twice a day, and use a gentle face wash, something harsh might be stripping the oil out of your face and making it more oily. Or if that's not the case, I think it was mentioned earlier in the thread about oils you can use for your face to help balance the oilness. And your skin might be dry with makeup on if you don't moisturize before putting makeup on if that helps.

I used to get deep, cystic acne on the sides of my face as a teen, but that completely disappeared once I started changing my pillowcase every night. Now the only spots I get are on my t-zone.

Honey masks are great. You could also mix it with sugar or oats for a mild scrub that could help fade acne scars.

-Avoid the sun like the plague
-Always use sunscreen
-Always use umbrellas and clothing that covers your skin
If after doing that for a while you don't get paler, is because you can't, you can't change your genes. You could use whitening products, like soaps, lotions, etc. but they're basically bleach and damaging.

Anyone recommend a cheap banishing cream or some other way with my problem? I'm trying to get rid of these dark scars in my armpits that I've had for nearly a decade. I've tried lemon juice, but although it lightened slightly, it also burned and stung. Help me, /cgl/. I want to be able to wear short/no sleeves!
