So annoying looking up dark brown eye makeup for inspiration and almost every result just being not what I am looking for. I did not say hazel, I did not say LIGHT brown, I did NOT say green, AND I DID NOT SAY BLUE.

So does anyone have makeup tips for dark brown eyes, I am talking like pupil not discernable unless light is shining directly in my face or you get reeeeal close to my face dark. And when I say tips please not just "wear blue eyeshadow it'll make them pop 🥰" I'm not opposed to colourful makeup but I'm definitely not the kind of person who does blue regularly. I just want to try something new that will look good with my eyes and the internet is being otherwise unhelpful

hi dolls ♡ ~ as my first official blog, i'll be talking about possibly the most crucial part of your makeup routine - and that is your base! I will mainly talk about how I do my base step-by-step, alongside details on why I use certain techniques!

❤︎

STEP 1: SKIN PREP

~ I personally prep my face with my full skincare routine; this include TONER - SERUM - MOISTURISER - SUNSCREEN (occasionally). Prepping your face is key to having a smoother & flawless base!

❤︎

STEP 2: FOUNDATION

~ Take whatever foundation you enjoy and put it on the back of hand and the pick the product up with either a FLUFFY FOUNDATION BRUSH (for more coverage; this is what I use as well) or a SPONGE (for less coverage). Never pump it directly onto your face dolls, as it gives less control of how much you want, often leading to a cakey base!

❤︎

STEP 3: BRONZER

~ For a seamless transition before adding your concealer, I underpaint! Bronzer around the temples of your cheeks + forehead, with a big fluffy brush; key tip when putting it on your cheeks is sweeping them in a upwards motion rather than just brushing it on!

❤︎

STEP 4: LIQUID BLUSH

~ Don't be afraid to go heavy-handed with your liquid blush ever, especially as powder will be added later on! I personally use a dense flat blush for it.

❤︎

STEP 5: CONCEALER

~ Finally, place your concealer around the areas where you want to brighten your face and blend it out with a flat concealer brush after letting it dry for a minute to bring more coverage!

❤︎

STEP 6: POWDER

~ Now, take a powder of your choice (loose or press; I personally use just a pressed powder) and press that all over your face using a big fluffy brush. Using a brush instead of a powder puff leaves a more natural finish due to less product build-up!

❤︎

STEP 7: POWDER BLUSH

~ To build up the blush, I put a paler shade across the apples of my cheeks then a brighter shade around the ends of my cheeks, inspired by PAINTED BY ESTHER!

❤︎

STEP 8: SETTING SPRAY

~ Lastly, to set everything in place, go ahead with a setting spray all over your face and let that dry !

❤︎

currently working on improving my eyeshadow/general makeup technique/skills. do you have any tips? (equipment, what to practice, really just any suggestions you have---the makeup you do is so pretty and colorful and awesome and generally the vibe id like to go for!!!)

hi!! i dont want to give super generic advice LOL but what exactly are u looking to improve on? if it's blending, i would say smaller brushes would be a great investment. i also like to have a microfiber cloth on hand to wipe off excess pigment off my brushes when i switch certain colors (some times lol). also eye primer has always been a must for me!! and i've been enjoying the mac paint pots as a way to "neutralize" my lids but it's not 100% neccessary.

My Current Obsession - Starlight Vintage Cosmetics

This lipstick.

Oh. My. Lanta!

It's so smooth and luxurious!

Not only that, but it is also refillable and in the most luxurious casing I have set my eyes on!

My go-to shade is 'A Salute in Red', which is inspired by the iconic red of the 1940's era. The description from the site reads as follows:

"A Salute in Red: In North America and Europe during World War II, red lipstick became a symbol of patriotism, courage, and ultimately, victory over oppression. Iconic makeup brands at the time created their own unique red shades; their own versions of "patriotism in a handbag."

Our shade A Salute in Red is a faithful reproduction of a WWII patriotic lipstick from our own historical collection.

Finish: Cream, Semi-Matte

Undertone: Cool, Blue-Based Red, Vibrant

Subtle Vanilla Scent and Flavour

Refillable

Our lipstick is crafted with nourishing shea butter and avocado oil, offering soothing relief and deep hydration for your lips. Free from parabens and enriched with vitamin E, it leaves lips feeling irresistibly soft, moisturized, and blissfully comfortable.

Paraben Free     Mineral Free     Gluten Free"

(Photo from the website itself of the product).

Let me tell you - this product is exactly as described and then some!

Red not your shade? They also have other colours, including an exact replication of the fuchsia shade that was in Marilyn Monroe's collection.

As I mentioned earlier, all of these lipsticks are refillable so you can keep using the beautiful casing! I mean, anyone who would throw out that casing is questionable to me, haha.

These are on more of the pricier side of lipsticks, but the quality definitely is well worth the price and then some!

how to make your makeup not caked up as shit even though you did your skincare and prepped for half an hour and let your base completely dry down 😓

[onegianthotmess]

You do something once and it looks nice?

Do it again and it’ll look good.

You did it again and it looks good?

Do it a third time and it’ll look great.

This was me last night when I kept fucking up my makeup and had to do it three times before rushing to my high school graduation. Almost cried when I fucked it up the second time and I had to remind myself that the more you do something, the better it’ll look. I was almost late, but I thought I looked pretty good!
