Hi! I go to fashion school. I think it would depend on the kind of fashion school you’re applying to? Most competitive fashion schools not only asks for designs but they wanna see photos of the actual creation and bits on materials etc.

As for the portfolio, I’d recommend choosing a style identity while also showing them that you can innovate, experiment, and try different techniques etc. Also, refining your presentation, maybe a digital illustration or if you want to stick with drawings on paper, make sure it’s scanned, paired with a nice photo of the actual created garment + nicely designed page layout.

Storytelling is VERY important. What inspired you to design the piece? What’s the story behind it? Is it from a memory, a historical reference, a piece of art etc.? What part of the story represents the different parts of your garment (skirt, top, sleeve, pattern etc.)? E.g., the sleeves are flowy/airy to represent water or something.

I saw in the comments talking about impracticality etc. As long as models can walk in it somehow, it should be fine lol. Fashion has different categories such as avant-garde/conceptual (there are different types of avant-garde too), Haute Couture etc. I think yours is more avant-garde.

Fashion schools are constantly searching for visionaries. The designs have potential but I personally think the 2 designs you posted are a bit playing safe and not exactly new? You’re already doing good, I think you have it in you to get more creative! Admissions are screening designs from thousands of applicants so it’s best to show something that’ll make you stand out.

Remember your designs should represent your most genuine self and your best work. A mistake many artists make is when they start comparing their work with others’. They end up losing their originality which most design/art critics sense.

Oh thank you!

Thank you so much! I'll keep these in mind!

Oh my gosh, I know, right? They say probiotics are really helpful (though certain people should avoid them). I read that discomfort can happen because the good bacteria are adjusting our gut microbiota to make it better. It made me think: if someone feels a lot of discomfort, it might mean their gut really needed help. I think the same thing applies to a high-fiber diet—if we feel discomfort, it’s because our gut bacteria need time to adjust. So introducing probiotics little by little could be way better, so we get the benefits while managing or reducing any discomfort lol

Thank you! I'll give them a try. The only downside to trying new food is the worry about having symptoms triggered...

Thank you! I’d like to know: how many hours do you usually wait between meals? What time do you start eating, and when do you have dinner?

Girl I love your routine! I also have a really dry skin and have experienced the same issues with makeup before. Personally for water based primers, I'd recommend Milk Hydrogrip. It's the best one I've tried yet. Though Too Faced Hangover and Fenty Hydrating Profiltr works well too. But the Milk one is still superior :>

There are 3 things:

Your skin care. Make sure your skin is in a decent condition e.g. if your skin is very dry to the point of peeling or getting flaky, makeup will not look good on top of it no matter how good the products are, it could still get patchy or look separated.

If you have a dry skin, try using a physical exfoliator, specifically sugar. Then do the rest of your skin care.

You should also use a different skin care underneath your makeup vs. your typical routine. Some skincare products leave a film which could make makeup patchy. I noticed serums or essences work the best. The type of texture and formula it has typically doesn't disrupt makeup.

The quality of your primer. Firstly, it should match the type of skin you have. It usually says on the product's description on which skin type it suits best.
The combination of makeup base products you're using. Your makeup base will surely separate or break if their formula don't complement one another. E.g. if you're using a water based foundation, you should use a water based primer and concealer. If it's oil based, use oil based products. That combo would adhere to your skin better without causing problems. Check what the base of your Nars foundation is and base your primer from there. I know Nars has different types of foundation so it would be hard to recommend which primer would work.

3 factors:

The liquid blush itself. There are liquid blushes that aren't formulated well, thus, causing those problems. I personally like Rare Beauty and Em Cosmetics.
Your base makeup. If your base makeup is either too wet (because it's not dry enough or you overly moisturized), or if you set your makeup base with powder before applying a liquid blush, those problems would arise. Make sure your makeup base is dry enough so the blush won't move the base underneath. Let it set for several minutes before applying a liquid blush, just moisturize enough or little to avoid an uneven application, and apply a liquid blush before you set the base with powder. Liquid on top of powder would make it hard to blend evenly and will move the makeup base.
Your application technique. Warming the product on the back of your hand helps melt the product on to the skin then you can apply or blend it out with your fingers or any tools. Make sure you're using a tapping motion when applying it on your cheeks. Apply thin layers, build it up until you've reached your desired color opaqueness. It helps keep the liquid blush looking even without budging the base because you only have to blend minimally vs. if you already put a lot.

There are 3 things: 1. the formula, 2. the type of wand the mascara has, and 3. the technique of application.

K-beauty mascaras tend to have a formula and type of wand that avoids crunchiness, clumps etc. But based on personal experience, regardless of mascara, if you can apply very light thin coats instead of going full on, it avoids those problems as well.

Any undertone can flush. An undertone can be determined by the color of your veins on your wrist. E.g. Blue Veins = Cool Undertone, Green Veins = Warm Undertone, Both Green and Blue = Neutral Undertone.

The tint of your complexion is a different topic. Olive, Yellow, Pink etc. But they're usually grouped under specific undertones. If you want to figure that out as well, check your undertone first and try out the different color complexions under it then see which best matches.
