Makeup- Beauty and Girly

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone enjoy wearing or collecting make up?

if so what are your favourite products?

Sort of! I never had an interest in makeup growing up but in adulthood found myself fascinated by it! I really like east Asian makeup trends, like Korean or Japanese beauty - I prefer the cute, down to earth approach rather than full glam western makeup, but I have a very 'to each their own' attitude about how others do their makeup (or don't wear it at all if they like).

For products, I have a bad habit of collecting way more blush than I need haha - blush has always been my favorite component of makeup and I was always envious of those who had natural flushes so I like to recreate that when doing my makeup. Ironically, a lot of folks say their only go-to product is mascara and that is the one makeup product I hate so I rarely wear it.

What about yourself? I love hearing about what types of makeup others wear.

I spent two hours on makeup and guys wouldn't even approach me.

Like are you kidding me? This stuff doesn't even work, I'm throwing it all out.

^ That's incredible!! You're very talented. I love the contacts a lot, they add an amazing touch.

Omg i love sfx makeup like that! Makeup has become my special interest for a while. I spend hours watching youtube tutorials.
I am obsessed with finishing a product so i can get a new one, it is just so satisfying to me. I also love scented products, beautiful packaging like guerlain meteorites collection for example, and korean beauty brands. I have about 40 lipsticks, 5 or 6 foundations.
As for favorite brand i love Guerlain and Mac but can rarely afford it so i use Wet n Wild, Essence for eye and lip pencils. And nyx for eyeliner. Most of my makeup products are drugstore brands but i try to buy high end when it comes to foundation or powders.
What are your favorite brands?

^ I've heard of ColourPop, and i also love Etude House and Tony Moly also Missha. I also love Too Faced their unicorn collection is my favorite. Btw if you like korean makeup style Pony Syndrome has an awesome channel on youtube, she's a professional and very famous.

I love makeup! I finally got my birthday Sephora packages. My essentials are:

Buxom plumping lip glosses in Dolly, April, Tonya and blushing margarita
Urban Decay Naked Honey palette
Too Faced Pretty Rich palette
Benefit Cosmetics blush in Dallas
Too Faced liquid matte lipsticks in Suck It and Child Star
Tarte Spellbound highlighter
It Cosmetics CC cream
Kat Von D holographic palette

And a Gucci lipstick I got for my birthday called “Hold Your Man”

Please be sure to buy your makeup from reputable sources since there is a huge problem with counterfeit makeup these days which don't take your health and well being in mind.

Not me.
I could notice 'weight' on my face, even something as simple as baby powder.

More so make-up and layers of it. I barely tolerate anything involving the lips and eye...



Instead, I'm surrounded by stories and accounts of those who do -- most of them coaxed me to study the whole thing, and even so far to suggest make a living out of it because they thought my visual knacks, fine motor and the apparently intuitive grasp of chemistry can handle it.

So... Yeah, I don't know the names for things as usual, experiences only told me to improvise amongst mixes of brands and products available.
But I would figure which make up would less likely melt on summer heat, which is very easy to remove without a make up remover (which I'd put myself whenever the occasion demands)...

Yet no, becoming a make-up artist for others takes more than that;
It requires some gentle handling (or strength control) my hands are habitually 'heavy'.
I do not have 'gentle handling' despite doing a lot of arts and crafts myself I couldn't seem to 'learn' it.
The attempts for gentle hands ends up errors and (literally) painful awkwardness.

And don't get started with doing hair and clothes or costumes along with it.

Otherwise, I've done plenty, yet don't do it for fun.
Most of those I've worked at usually goes for a one time event than a daily basis thing, so I don't get used to it.

I'd rather have someone else over to trust with these kind of things.


Yeah, no enthusiasm here.
Just tech and experience stuff.

Had I've been interested at any point, I would've fulfilled it long ago.
