WOW, IloveFauns, that lipstick is stunning!

Several weeks ago for my birthday, I received gray eye shadow and lip gloss (Alba TerraGloss Bloom). The eye shadow is super cool! My sister got it from a shop on Etsy, it is mineral makeup and has shimmer. I have been using brown eye shadow a lot recently, so having a new neutral is great. Plus the gray is awesome with my gray-blue eyes.

I love lip gloss when I remember to wear it. I already had the garnet color which is as dark as the bloom is light. Having two colors of lip gloss is really nice.

Thank you. I am kind of scared to wear it out for what mum would say she will probably think it is over the top. Next year when I go to uni ha.

I usually wear red lipstick or a purple red colour. So I don't usually wear lipgloss.

Does anyone have any tips as to how to use false eye-lashes without losing your real lashes? There's a certain look I've been wanting to get as of late, but it requires false lashes. Upon reading up on the subject, I was informed that losing your real lashes after using fake ones is a quite common occurrence.

Any way to get around this? Or if not, is there any way of getting that same lash look without falsies?

Hey Ithilwen , Well it largely depends on The look you wanna try .A good mascara can make all the difference . Maybelline has a Mascara called "Falsies" , maybe that could help . What kind of Mascara do you use ?

What kind of Mascara do you use ?

At the moment, I don't use any kind. I haven't really worn make-up in the past, so I'm pretty new to this whole thing.

To be honest I don't always ware makeup either. Lol But form experience a good mascara can help a lot . What kind of look are you going for ? Light , Dramatic , Natural , night .

I was actually going for the mod look. You know, that style that was popular in the UK during the 1960s. The false eye-lashes were such a staple of that look, it seems. Would I be able to achieve that look with just mascara?

I think it would depend on the mascara . I've only had mascara on and a family member thought I had falsies on . So I'm sure you could do It with a good Mascara and a good hand .

And maybe a bit of eyeliner and a bit of shadow? I don't wear makeup, but I've tried that before for Halloween. Also, for Twiggy's look, I've seen people draw false lashes under the eye with a liner, for the 60's look.

^ @ Halloween , for eyeliner, I just use a black Halloween face creme, it's very runny, so it works. But for the mascara, I just so happen to have that tube, weird coinsidence. So - it does work.

Can your eyelashes really fall out with falsies? Why would want to use that stuff!?! You could always try those induvidual ones...might be less...deadly.

I dye my hair black but have always wanted to spice it up with some color for a long time. I want a few blue streaks or red streaks, haven't decided which yet.
I don't mind spending some money on my hair but I'm curious if anyone here has dyed their own hair with a bold color like that. I'm tempted to try

I have dyed my hair purple. My hair had been dyed a light blond previously but it had grown out, so I had to dye over my natural sandy blond, the mid brown streaks and the very slight blond in my hair. I left it in far the max time and You could not tell I had other colors under it. I am rather practiced on hair dying(mine, my sisters and my mums). Since you have dyed black hair you will have to bleach the areas where you want the streaks first, other wise you will not be able to see the colour or it will be very doll.

Does anyone have any tips for making lipstick last longer? I've heard about putting a thin layer of vaseline on top but I haven't tried it myself.

I used to dye my hair all the time - despite being pretty allergic to the dye - but now I've come to accept my mousy brown hair.

I straighten my hair almost everyday but I hate doing that. I like the feeling of my natural hair better but I think mu hair looks better when it's straight (or at least as straight as I can make my stubborn, dense, thick hair).
I'm trying to find ways to style my hair so it's less pouffy/frizzy/erratic so I can stop damaging it so much with the straightener. I have tried vinegar rinses, frizz serums, gels, mouses, non-terry towels, no-shampoo method; all to no avail. *shrugs*

Lipstick my area( I usually do 1960's style lipstick colour and look)- I suggest buying a lip pencil( check if your red is blue or orange based and choose the pencil accordingly), you can also get brown lip pencils etc.
1. neatly outline lips
2. colour the whole lips( doesn't have to be perfect but this helps the colour last)
3. Use a lip brush and point your lips( cover every part of your lips)
4. Use lipstick tube but only in the middle of the lip and rub your lips together.

To bump this thread up, Ithi, if you're looking to recreate that look, there's a couple things you can do:

1. Get a good mascara and get really good at applying it. This only works if you already have well defined lashes, though. If your lashes are short/sparse, this won't work as well.
2. Most people make the mistake of incorrectly trimming and applying false eyelashes. Make sure they are correctly trimmed to fit along your natural lash line. When you apply them, don't apply them directly to your lash line; this is what makes your lashes more likely to fall out prematurely--they actually get pulled on when you remove the false lashes. Instead, apply the falsies just slightly above your lash line. This will make your lashes look thicker but it isn't noticeable that they aren't exactly where your real lashline is.

In the picture you posted, the model is also wearing a heavy black eyeliner in a slight cat eye style. If you work on perfecting this technique of applying eyeliner, you can probably get away with just doing mascara. Apply a bit more mascara on the outer lashes and less on the inner, too.

That's actually how I normally wear mascara, when I do; none on the inner lashes, a couple coats on the outer lashes.

Hope that helps!

This is a really late response, but this is how I extend the lifespan of colored lip balm.

1. Apply a coat to your lips.
2. Take a kleenex or paper towel and press it (don't swipe) against your lips, removing excess and leaving pigment behind.
3. Apply another coat.

You can do this even a third time if you like. I've found that it works pretty well.
