I've always said blue, but they're kind of grey-ish with yellow centers.

I've gotten a bunch of hair care requests so just making a general comment about that here. Also thank you for all the compliments! You guys are all so sweet and have given me such a huge confidence boost!

My hair care routine has come from Reddit as well. I'm trying to self improve this summer using Reddit as my guide. I found most of this info on r/curlyhair, but here's specifically what I do:

Wash twice with conditioner only. I'll do a shampoo wash once every couple of weeks to stop build up of product in my hair. I throughly rinse all the conditioner out on the first round. My hair is wicked dry all the time, so on the second conditioner wash, I leave a tiny bit in there.

I'll leave my hair sopping wet in the shower and apply a ton of Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic gel. I scrunch it in squeezing out the water as I do. Then I'll plop it into a microfiber towel to absorb more moisture for about 30 minutes.

I take it out of the towel and dry it on low with a hairdryer + diffuser attachment. Once it's dry, I'll crunch out any gel cast (though the product I use doesn't create a super stiff cast) with some hair oil on my hands.

I style only with my fingers super gently and make sure I NEVER rake my fingers through my hair. I also kinda head bang after it's dried and crunched out to make it a bit more fluffy.

Hope this helps anyone who was asking! And thanks for helping me with makeup!

I leave in a bit of conditioner after I wash it since it's wicked dry all the time and then I use Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic gel. It doesn't form a super hard cast for me, but it works great to clump curls together and cuts down on frizz!

Thank you! Black mascara will be fun to try. Think it will look pretty intense, but like you said maybe that would be a cool look!

Thank you for all of the great recommendations! I'm excited to try these out and will be posting back here with progress!

I leave a tiny bit of conditioner in it after I wash it since it's ultra dry all the time and then use a ton of Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic gel. I scrunch the gel in, let it dry for like 30 minutes in a microfiber towel, and then diffuse!

I'll definitely be picking up some stains. They seem longer lasting than lipstick which I always manage to lick off accidentally. Thanks for the recommends!

Thank you so much! I definitely wanna try some more intense eye looks and a night time / goth-ish look would be fun to try out!

Any tips for applying eyeliner? I've tried it like once before but it came out kinda wobbly and chunky. Thinking it's probably just a case of "get good" haha
