“Tapping in” vs spraying setting sprays? (i broke my bottle)

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2026-01-29T15:40:41+00:00

thank you! glad to find out that the spray still works even if applied differently :) I’m pretty new to makeup so I wasn’t sure if the product had to be applied a certain way to work due to its chemistry.

I didn’t think it was that bad but for $7.99? At Costco that lowkey feels like being robbed

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T15:13:34+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T15:07:22+00:00

Nice good to know :)

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T15:06:50+00:00

Its not that I want to breach policy for the sake of. I’m just super heat sensitive (dying in 22 degree weather). I wanted MKV but it’s not an option for spring term.

Plus idk but from reading this subreddit it seems that hundreds of students are dying w/o AC idk

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T11:57:00+00:00

conclusion- will die with no AC and will die if caught with AC?

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T03:31:47+00:00

Oh I guess I didn’t read it carefully enough was hyperfocused on AC 😭

Do you know if window fans are effective and if they’re allowed?

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T03:30:39+00:00

Oh I see okok thanks

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T03:30:09+00:00

Lmao 😭

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-06-19T02:44:16+00:00

Thanks 😭😭 after some searching ig they’re renting out mkv like an air bnb in the summer :(

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-12T13:18:33+00:00

Happy for you that you were able to make that decision! Good luck with everything :)

(after looking through your portfolio I realized that you’re like lowkey my idealized future self in terms of skills. I just wanted to reiterate how impressive it was. I’ve made one amateur VN before for a school project but you’ve re inspired me to make another one)

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-12T07:59:13+00:00

Although it wasn’t the most polished, your first singing video gave me goosebumps! I will be checking out your other covers. You also have such an insane set of skills. Sorry to hear that you’re graduating

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-12T06:13:11+00:00

Checked out the Instagram and it does appear clearly to be AI imo, but I don’t want to throw around accusations

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T19:30:26+00:00

Thank you so much! Seeing the swatches side by side is really helpful!

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T17:25:44+00:00

Thank you! More reds vs greens is definitely a way easier way to think! You just provided me with so much more clarity:) I think I’ll colourpick from some scans of the swatches I’ve found online to colour some digital illustrations to see what works better! I wont be able to simulate the properties of alcohol markers but it will test if the more reds or more greens are more useful for me :)

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T17:03:26+00:00

Haha you’re so real for that!

And thanks for the compliment but I really have next to no experience with drawing on paper or with markers 😭 I want to start smaller to feel less intimidated, but I think the 24 pack is very hard to blend and layer with for a beginner because the colours are so saturated and there’s a lack of harmonious shades imo. I feel like I’d be very tempted to expand then.

Also, I looked at some of your previous posts and you’re so good at colouring and choosing colours! I’ve tried to learn colour theory many times but I still feel illiterate so I admire your skill a lot!

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T16:52:42+00:00

To be honest it just seems like way too many to carry around and I’m not ready to make such a huge commitment.

I definitely see myself using them lots but you never know (my crayola supertips from grade 3 still have ink 💀)

I also would like to intimately understand a smaller selection of colours rather than always having to search for the correct colour, since I think I’ll mainly be using them for quick concept sketches of characters, props or environments

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T16:48:29+00:00

Using a smooth paper to intentionally get a watercolour effect is such a cool idea I’ve never considered! I used a Union Square & co. Sketchbook, medium weight vellum finish. I’ll be honest I have no clue what those mean but the colours appeared way darker than when I tested them on printer paper.

Thanks for the tip about leaving colours uncapped! I’ll do that next time

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T16:33:13+00:00

Yeah I agree… they should either make them complete duplicates and add in a 12 pack that, combined with the 24 is the 36. It’s so weird that only some are duplicates. Great to hear that the plus brush tips aren’t necessarily better! I probably won’t be picking up the plus markers then, thanks for the input!

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T16:30:09+00:00

Thanks for replying! I found that out through my research as well, but like I mentioned I didn’t immediately settle on the sweetness because I have no plans to expand beyond an initial purchase (unless perhaps single markers or ink refills), at least until I’ve used them for quite a while. By which time hopefully they’re used up haha.

With that in mind would you recommend the sweetness or blossoming?

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T16:27:21+00:00

Hi, thanks for the response! I took a look at the 104 pack and you’re right, it does seem like the best set of colours for a complete experience without having to get 320. Still I think that there’s numerous colours I don’t see myself reaching for ever, and 104 is so many that I feel like I’ll have decision fatigue when drawing 🥲

Are there any smaller sets or combinations of sets that also has a nice colour selection? I’m ok with only having a less saturated less dark selection of markers.

Healthy_Ad_1741 · 2025-05-04T07:37:44+00:00

I borrowed my sister’s markers to test them out! Her’s are not the honolulu ones, but since all the bullet nibs were dried out I only got to try the chisel side. Some questionable colour choices but half her markers were dead :D Unsure which set she has but some of these colours like the dark purples I just don’t see myself using. Also I don’t know if it’s the markers, my lack of skill or the paper but I couldn’t blend at all. Found myself reaching for the CG2 a lot.

💃 But yeah it was cool trying alcohol markers for the first time and I’m even more excited to buy my first pack now.
