If you're ever wondering why your makeup never looks like the Cool People On The Internet™ I've cracked the code. Here's what's I've noticed my looks been lacking.
1. Lashes. If you never tried them before and you want to achieve that Look, you can get them at the dollar store try natural ones and dramatic ones 2.50 investment my guy
2. Circle lenses. This one is for ppl like myself who are alternative. Take a good look at the eyes of the people you follow, if their eyes aren't Uniquely stunning (i.e. notable in any way basically), they probably have contacts in that make their limbal ring (that's the ring around your iris. Fun fact! :D Naturally dark limbal rings on people are considered considerably attractive by a wide number of people, but people don't typically note them to be THE part of the eye they find interesting and fun to look at-- they just say shit like "there's something/a spark in them" or whatever but I know this because I know what *I* like and I like rings and darkness, back to my point, they make the limbal rings) ever so slightly (or massively) larger than natural. They're super cute! Look into cosmetic/contact lense Safety and Hygiene/Care and then try them out!
3. White/Pale foundation. For my goths and editorials/avant gardes! Now, This one is a touchy subject! My biggest piece of advice is your desire for white/pale foundation should be driven by an artistic vision (Ex. goths; looking dead/having pallor (a sickly paleness), vampiric, ghostly, doll-like etc) and Not from pressure to fit in/look Whiter (as in the demographic of people. I'm talking about colorism). I mean it so wholeheartedly when I say the goth community is better with everybody in every skin tone. You can paint your face if you Want, if that is your individual desire for Self Expression, but any scene that makes you feel like you need to Hide Your Skin in order to be welcomed is a racist, shit scene you should steer clear of. Literal white supremacy, don't fall for it. You belong here. That being said, sometimes you just want a pure white base! It has that Classic Goth Je Ne Sais Quoi! Plain skin or skin colored foundation just might not cut it for your vision for yourself. Make sure to take care of your skin, breaking out hurts!
4. (Bonus) Wigs. It can be hard to tell sometimes but maybe what you're missing is a wig. Some people really appreciate that Totally Perfect, Doll-like hair or access to elaborate/high maintenance styles.
5. (Beginner bonus) Liquid eyeliner. Lots of makeup beginners are pointed towards pencil eyeliner because of their ease of use, but if you're new and wondering why your liner isn't as inky black, sharp, and is prone to smudging, it's because what you want is liquid eyeliner. It takes a little practice to get the hang of it, try it before you take a shower, experiment and watch tutorials, use accessibility tools if desired/necessary, you'll probably get it. You'll want some makeup wipes too, be frugal and don't get too frustrated (trust me it's embarrassing to cry about eye paint. Personal experience.)
the sclera lenses that I bought doesn't work and I'm now 100% convinced that I have astigmatism,
