For those who have trouble with their eyeshadow creasing, there are eye primers out there, that will keep your eyeshadow from creasing and fading. Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Urban Decay Primer Potion are some popular eyeshadow primers, although they are a bit pricey ($17-18 US). I got a sample of Too Faced Shadow Insurance from Sephora, and it works pretty well...keeps my eyeshadow from creasing for around 8 hours.

Has anyone here looked at the makeup tutorials on YouTube? I found them extremely helpful when I got into eye makeup, as I had no idea how to apply it, and it looked a bit off whenever I tried to apply it (I'm Asian, so I have small eyes a very small double lid). Anyways, the makeup tutorials on YouTube taught me a lot about eyeshadow application, and now they're good inspiration if I'm in a playful mood and want to experiment with brighter colors.

H Tide, I've got a sample of Smashbox's eyeshadow primer. I'm not really sure if I like it or not. It defiently keeps the shadow on longer, but it doesn't look quite as good as when I don't use it, if that makes any sense.

Re: eyebrows. I think the easiest way to deal with them is professionaly. I get mine waxed regularly at a salon and I like how they look. I pluck them in between visits but it's soo much easier this way. It's not expensive, either, and it really doesn't hurt all that much. Try it!

Eyebrows: the only thing about my face I got lucky with! Seriously, they're defined and dark already, all I have to do is pluck a stray hair or two every couple of days.

What's your makeup routine? I'll describe mine.

1. Acnewash. Usually a brand that's "comparable" to Neutrogena's. I don't get outbreaks very often thanks to this.

2. Eyeshadow. Something light pink or yellow, brushed my lid where eyeliner normally would be. My lashes are short, and providing a light background for them helps the mto stand out.

3. Mascara. Black/brown.

4. Covergirl peach pink blush on the cheekbones.

5. Lipgloss! Any brand or color, I'm not picky.

That's it.

My makeup routine varies depending on my mood. This is what I did this morning:

Today:

1. Eyelash curler (Shu Uemura)

2. Black eyeliner (Bonnebell). I just put it right practicly in amongst my eyelashes, not on my eyelid at all.

3. Black liquid eyeliner (L'Oreal), winged out.

4. Mascara (Tarte)

5. Blush (DuWop)

6. Face primer (Smashbox)

7. Vaseline and lip gloss (Bright pink, L'Oreal).

Some days I'll skip the liquid eyeliner and use a dark green or navy eyeshadow as eyeliner. Other times I'll just use eyeshadow, all over my lid, in a variety of colors (pink, dark green, purple, dark blue, dark brown).

Questions

Does anyone have any types on how to reduce cuts when shaving your legs?

I am sixteen and the only make up that i wear is a little lip gloss. I think that make-up is not very good for your face though i may be very wrong
I like my hair and am thankfull that God gave it to me though i can't say that i am obsessed with it. My hair is very greasy though and i have a rather hard time with it. Have to shampoo it rather often to keep it clean

IloveFauns you could try covering you legs with soap before shaving them, at least that is what my sister does

Yeah thats what i did. I probalay shouldn't do it as hard though

IlF, I agree with wild rose that you should at least use soap. But actual shaving lotion is a lot better. Make sure your razor is new, old razors actually cause more nicks/cuts. When wetting your legs use warm water to avoid goose-bumps, and when you're done rinse in as cold as water as you can stand it since that will help control and bleeding from cuts.

IlF, my solution is simple: wax. I shave gently with a specific type of soap, since I'm allergic to most types in between waxings, if it is needed. Someone produces it locally though (alright, two hours away, but still...), so I'm not sure you could get it. I'll check and see if they have a website, if you are interested.

Ever that or i could still my brothers shaving cream or ask mum to bye me some.

Definitely use shaving cream IloveFauns. But don't steal your brother's. There are a lot of nice scented shaving creams out there for girls. My Mom uses one for dried skin that I sometimes borrow and after I shave my legs are very smooth and I only get cuts if I press too hard.

On makeup: when I wear it, I always wear mascara because my eyelashes are white blond and it can be really hard to see them under bright lights. I usually use a cover stick in the lightest shade to cover up my various brown spots and then a powder to blend the cover up into my skin tone. Sometimes I do blush and lipstick for special occasions.

Does anyone know of pretty hairstyles for long hair? And by long, I mean I can sit on it long. It's also thick so it's really hard to put up.
I donated fifteen inches to LocksofLove three years ago and I'm going to donate again next spring, but for now I need something to do with it other than my one braid or hanging loose in the wind.

@daughter of the King:
There's a few different simple ones you could do:
French braid, plain braid, two braids, two French braids, pony-tail, half-back, a "flip through" pony-tail, an "inside-out" french braid, etc. Some are a little more complicated then others. Of course, all those terms and titles I mentioned won't help unless you know how to do it. I can try to explain a few of them if you want.

Ugh, I wince when I think of people using bar soap as a shaving lather. Bar soap is extremely drying — and so is shaving. Itchiness is the only possible outcome

The best thing you can do to avoid cutting yourself while shaving is use a quality razor. There are so many good ones out there now. Yeah, they are a little more expensive and so are the cartridges, but sometimes you can get good deals with coupons. Get a good razor and you won't have to press hard.

Personally, I just shave with water and then rub a mineral oil/baby oil combination on my legs when I get out of the shower. I never have itchy legs, the oil absorbs quickly and doesn't stick to or stain my clothes, and all is well

Thanks, Queen Susan! I haven't French braided my hair in awhile, I should do it again.

daughter of the King, this would still be a variation on braids, but how about a fish tail? I don't know---if you said it's hard to put up, then I'm sure you've tried a bun. I don't know how hard it would be to braid your hair and then pin it around your head in a coronet (or whatever it's called)? And this would be kind of similar to leaving it down, but how about pulling some of the front strands back and ponytailing or braiding them? I don't know...this probably isn't any help. There's a reason I avoid this thread.
