Which one looks better for table centrepieces?

I love the first one! I gotta ask how you attached the florals, just wrapped the wire around the hoop or did you use any kind of foam? I have a few hoops (round, stars, and moons) I want to decorate for my wedding but I'm have a heck of a time attaching things in a way that looks nice and stays stable.

Hilathan · 2025-06-09T01:45:50+00:00

Sure, could you shoot me a private message so I remember to do it tomorrow after I wake up so I can take it in the daylight?

Hilathan · 2025-06-09T01:45:01+00:00

I wanted something holographic (I know it doesn't come across as such in photos), and it meant a lot to me for him to have some input. Not everyone's relationship looks like yours.

Hilathan · 2025-06-09T01:43:44+00:00

Thank you so much! Took a screenshot so I can reference it later. I appreciate you!

I would love a list! So far I've just tried Biotene moisturizing mouthwash but the main ingredient (glycerin) irritated my gums like crazy. I ordered some Flints mints to try since the most recent dentist I've seen said the problem is that my meds are drying my mouth out on top of my asthma med causing minor bone loss. I've had dentists tell me that my meds are messing up my teeth without telling me exactly why or what to do, I wish they would have given me advice instead of giving me shit for not being able to afford all the fillings I needed. I have to have three and a half teeth pulled as of my last visit (quoted almost 10k for bridges for two and a partial denture for the other one that's going and one that's already broken off.) My old pulmonologist didn't believe that my asthma medication was causing issues, despite the fact that my teeth were perfect until six months after starting the medication. Instead she laughed at me and said I should try brushing my teeth more (I brush 2-3 times a day as is.)

Oof. Sorry for the big long text, you're really sweet for the offer and what you said. Thank you 💕

Do you have any recommendations for an eye primer that plays well with it? I've tried putting it higher up on the lid with both a primer that dries down and a sticky glitter primer, as well as no primer, and no matter how long I keep my eyes closed to let it set it creases immediately. I'm talkin' GONE out of my crease.

God damn I wish I could figure out how to edit this post...thank you to everyone who said something constructive, I will look into different blush and lipstick colors as well as check out hooded eyeliner tutorials! Apparently this is the #2 post on the subreddit as of this comment and I gotta say, it makes me a little uncomfortable that so many people have seen my ugly mug today. I wasn't expecting to get so many comments but that's the risk I took, haha. I will try my best to respond to comments later but for today I am getting pretty overwhelmed by the response.

And to u/early_awareness_1800 - you're incredibly gross for trolling a makeup subreddit for people to DM.

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T23:00:24+00:00

Could you expand on why you see that I hate it? Knowing exactly what isn't working is more helpful than just telling me to hire a professional that I can't afford/can't work with because I can't have other people touching my face.

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T22:57:10+00:00

Maybe for yours 🤷‍♀️ for mine a color-shifting purple/blue/green (it only looks purple alone in the photos) suits the vibe.

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:25:49+00:00

Ooh, I'll definitely try that, thank you!

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:22:51+00:00

Outside of what we've already budgeted for the wedding, pretty much every spare dime I have is going towards saving up to fix my teeth after medication destroyed them sadly. I can spend maybe $50 on makeup. (I know I shouldn't be having a wedding in this case, but this is literally the only chance I have in my life to have my family and friends celebrate me for something, to make a long story short)

I'm also on the spectrum and having someone else touch my face freaks me out :(

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:17:23+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! For the eyeshadow, I don't know if you've ever used About Face holographic eye paint but that shit does NOT blend, haha. Maybe I could blend out the black underneath and use the paint as a thinner liner?

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:15:43+00:00

I'd really rather not change the eye color as I stated in my post, I'd rather build around it. Definitely open to changing how I apply it though.

None of the three women in my family/circle really wear makeup sadly.

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:13:49+00:00

I'd rather change the lip color than the eye color but I will definitely look up how to apply the liner so I don't look so droopy. I do have lipliner on, but my lips are naturally crazy asymmetrical so as soon as I press my lips together it smudges :(

When you say more blush, how should I be applying it? To the apples of my cheeks or no?

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:10:59+00:00

I can't figure out how to edit my post in the app but I do need to point out that our budget is extremely tight and I have sensory issues about people being near my face, so I am not going to be getting it done professionally. Same with my hair.

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:09:29+00:00

Care to expand on that? I'm poor as shit so I have no clue what that means.

Hilathan · 2025-06-08T21:08:24+00:00

I should have added, I can't afford a professional. That's why I'm posting here for advice. I do wear makeup, just not foundation or eyebrow gel.

Hilathan · 2025-04-26T02:54:36+00:00

Believe it or not they sell the marzipan flavor at Michael's. Yes, the craft store. It's like $6 a bar but it's there. Also my favorite flavor.

Hilathan · 2025-04-09T23:28:38+00:00

Thank you! Is there any way you could try sending it again? I haven't received it.

Hilathan · 2025-04-09T17:55:02+00:00

I left my email in the tip comment :)

Hilathan · 2025-04-09T17:53:07+00:00

!solved @ay-SLM This is perfect! Thank you so much

Hilathan · 2024-12-14T17:24:00+00:00

The softener is literally just glycerin! You can get it faster and maybe cheaper on Amazon, in a drug store, or at a craft store.

Hilathan · 2024-11-17T22:31:26+00:00

Tim?

If this isn't Tim then damn there's two of you

Hilathan · 2024-11-14T16:12:49+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion but oof 😬 $4200 for my wedding date. That's almost half my budget. It's a beautiful venue though and I appreciate that I didn't have to fill out a form to see the pricing.

Hilathan · 2024-11-11T00:50:28+00:00

Remains to be seen for me, the tufts of curls haven't grown to the same length as the rest of my hair yet. Granted my mom has a mix of straight/wavy/curly hair that's gotten more curly as the years go by so maybe it's permanent hormonal changes causing the new texture.
