oh god people suggested i learn how to use guy liner, if not just for costumes.

>guy liner

I have a package coming from Urban Decay with two pencil eyeliners and an eyeshadow I got on deep discount, plus a sharpener that should work with all my pencil eyeliners and lip liners.

>>380269
I think mascara and eyeliner look good on both genders, especially when you have naturally light hair so without makeup it looks like you don't even have eyelashes. Eyeliner might be a bit too "girly" looking for most guys but mascara is always nice and subtle.

>>380272
who me? no never.

>>380275
why are you upside down, image. fuck you iPad

>>380274
sage for triple post

i'll consider that when i go shopping today! hooray!

mascara recommendation: CLUMP CRUSHER from Covergirl

I, too, may be interested in mastering the art of Being Pretty.
M-maybe.
Sage because I have literally nothing to contribute. Sorry.

i want something that doesn't smudge after i do that

I have nothing to do all day every day so I spend a lot of time practicing putting my face on. The latest love of my life? Lime Crime's "Velvetines". Red Velvet looks like pure sex on my face, I love it. I've also been doing a lot of work on my brows lately, and trying to experiment with different colours.

>>380283
Careful with Lime Crime. They have a lot of shady shit attached to them over the years.

lold

>>380283
tfw it never really comes out looking quite that good

>>380285
Oh, I'm well aware. Doe Deere is a crazy bitch but I enjoy Lime Crime's products and service, I've never had a single problem with either and I've ordered from them plenty of times. (DDL is problematic herself (themselves? idk who it is). Some of her accusations have been total exaggerations. She's one of numerous vendetta-chans.)

>>380287
Fair enough. That was the first thing that popped up when I googled "lime crime controversy" b/c I didn't know a site off the top of my head. I've never heard of DDL's vendetta, but I do like that they've compiled a big list of dupes. Some of lime crime's products look like things I'd want, but I wouldn't really want to do business with them. You know?

On a tangentially related note, I got bright purple lipstick and gloss (Stargazer and Paranormal, respectively) from MyBeautyAddiction on etsy earlier this year and they are SO GREAT OH MY GOD. I can't speak for their other products but DAMN, THOSE COLORS.

Concealer and various facial ointments would actually help a lot of self conscious men with their skin problems and anxieties and it saddens me that when I recommend it the immediate response is "Fuck that gay shit."

It thanks to that "gay shit" I look like a human being and it makes me so angry that there is such gender bullshit around such useful widely available products.

>>380289
Concealer and foundation transform me (particularly my eye circles) from "caffeine addict who died from anemia" to "normal person." It's great.

I'm gonna make a quick list of recommendations because why not. I've gotten interested in makeup in the last couple years or so because I grew up thinking that girly stuff was worthless and terrible. Now I love it. These are some products that I've found particularly useful.

My favorite overall brand is NYX; you can find it at most Targets and on Ulta. It's very cheap and you get a lot of bang for your buck. A particular standout is their butter gloss: looks good, feels good, applies easily, and even though it doesn't last long, it fades gracefully. Their round case and matte lipsticks are also really really nice; I have Snow White from the round case collection as well as Pure Red and Indie Flick (neon orange) in matte and they are FAB. I'm not as fond of their liquid eyeliners, but they're serviceable. NYX's green concealer was useful in hiding some of my more egregious hickeys earlier this year.

If you wear eyeshadow at all, invest in Urban Decay's primer potion. DO IT. There's a reason why it's so pricey. You only need a teeny tiny amount for each lid, and it's MAGIC. For reference, I did my New Year's Eve makeup at about 1pm on Dec 31st, and I used UD primer potion. I looked in a mirror again at 5am Jan 1st AND MY EYESHADOW LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME. I had walked all over New York and danced and sweated and made out with someone and gotten uproariously drunk on at least three kinds of vodka plus champagne, but not a single flake of my eyeshadow had budged. Get the primer. I wish I had the finances for more Urban Decay products because DAT QUALITY, but as it is I just have to wait for sales and birthday/holiday gift cards.

If you're looking for a waterproof liquid eyeliner and you don't mind spending $12, I might be able to recommend Sephora's house brand. I don't own one personally, but I swatched a couple on my wrist the last time I was at a mall. Two days later, after regular hand washing and showering and going about my daily life, the swatches were still there. I got rid of them with no trouble with some CVS makeup remover. I don't know how it would play out on eyelids, but it seems like some powerful shit.

>>380289
the images you choose sometimes to go with your text.
it seems... confusing.

right so i got Urban Decay waterproof eye pencil crayon etc

cute name. perversion.

anyway it's super fucking black. i love it. it goes on really really opaque. i look pretty.

>>380278
sage for double post.
>listened to advice
>tried mascara
>got intense eyeliner anyway

sorry. i guess i just enjoy looking like a dirty little man minx.

>>380299
Well, two sides to a story so when people have a very knee jerk reaction to something that would be so enormously beneficial I get to figuring there might be something going on behind closed doors.

>>380289
thought about that sometimes.Tempting but my face is such a fucking gravel pit that I think my pores would suck everything up.

>>380380
Just got to prime that shit, yo.

>>380381
prime that shit and ensure no one ever touches my face

Not really but kind of really

Any of you jerks want to talk nail polish?

Because holy shit nail polish.

>>380385
That depends greatly on what make up you use, there is a reason make-up remover exists think about it, if you could just wipe it all away why would remover need to exist.

>>380395
Reppen dat clear polish yo

>>380395
I do my nails, my friends' nails and my family's too. I've been thinking about maybe trying to make some money from it one day. IMO, of all the polishes I've tried (ie a LOT), Barry M is probably my favourite by quite a bit. It comes in 4578965432 colours and effects, and it gives such lovely coverage/durability despite the fact it's usually less than £3 per bottle. Their new fruit-themed "Gelly" gel range was so gorgeous I bought the whole set at once (excluding lychee and pomegranate).

>>380395
I use it to make these, its a good sealant.

I wish I could wear nailpolish but I have a very bad nail-picking habit that I have never been able to break, and hangnails that never go away no matter how much moisturizer I use. When I try nailpolish I just pick at that instead of the hangnails, which is actually probably better, but it looks worse and isn't as... I don't know, calming as fucking with the actual nail?

How do I break this?

>>380273
My package came today.
I immediately tried out the eyeliner and HOLY GOOD GODDAMN. It goes on like butter, no drag marks, insane pigmentation, etc. If I only had more money so I could buy Urban Decay all the time and not just when there's sales. :(
I find that makeup quality is kind of like alcohol quality. It's easy to find decent stuff for cheap, but when it's expensive, it's often RIDICULOUSLY GOOD.

>>380395
YES PLEASE YES PLEASE
My polish is mostly cheap drugstore stuff, but I have two bottles from A England (in Tristam and Avalon) that are the pride of my collection. I used to buy Sinful Colors because it's $1.99, but the quality is so all over the place. Pumpkin Spice is great, though. I can't wait for autumn so I can wear it again.
If anyone's looking for a black/white splatterpaint top coat that doesn't cost infinity money, Claire's has one. It's serviceable.

>>380423
How often have you painted your nails? I had a rotten nail biting habit until about two years ago, when I started painting my nails regularly. Now, all the nervous energy I would have expended wrecking my nails with my teeth I now spend painting them. IDK if that would work for you, though. Everyone's different.

>>380406
Aww yes. We used that shit for mounting with certain microscope slides.

>>380402
Haven't tried any Barry M, but I've heard it's the tits!

>>380451
Oh man, I just got my first A England a few weeks ago (Order of the Garter), and I am eyeing St. George.

bags under eyes what do

>>380725
drink more water, sleep on your back, massage your face to encourage fluid drainage, moisturise, use ice-cubes or cold tea-bags for temporary relief

>>380725
Practice your thousand yard stare to complete the look.

>>380725
Grow super arched eyebrows, and become too lazy to ever open your eyes more than halfway, so that you look suicidal/unhinged to people who see you in public.
It's what I do.

>>380725
foundation + concealer
or something

>>380716
I've been lusting after St. George ever since I saw it but it's NEVER in stock on Ninja Polish. A England is SO QUALITY. I would buy them all if I could justify the expense.

>>380872
I actually bought it from Ninja a few weeks ago as a gift. Now it's taking me all my self-control not to keep it for myself... Goddamn it is gorgeous.

>>380874
I am literally eyeing it at this very moment holy shit them holos.

>>380875
THEY RELEASED MORE OF THEM
THEY HAVE A RED HOLO NOW ARRGHHHHASDFGHJKL

>>380882
I got it. I'm gonna hate myself in the morning for buying yet another thing I don't need, but at least I'll have some super awesome polish coming in the mail.

I just found this for $10 at TJ Maxx and I am very pleased.

go back to reddit

ANYWAY. Anyone have any good recommendations for under-eye concealer? I have job interviews coming up, and I'm so goddamn pale I'm having trouble finding something that looks natural and doesn't cost upwards of $30. I got some pretty substantial dark/purple circles to cover up.

>>383459
About as well as his uncle-brother was brought up anyway.

>>383461
For purple circles, you'll want something yellow-tinted. I'm afraid I don't use concealer myself atm but I like YSL's touche eclat. It's light and looks good (they even have a shade pale enough for me) although that is generally pretty pricey. If you wanted a mega cheap option you could try mixing a little bit of yellow with your regular foundation if you use any? I have no idea how well that would work, but it could be worth a try.

Real talk: Why are reddit nail people so terrible?

>>383469
They're unpolished.
