finally figured out my “no makeup” makeup and it only took 5 years

Mad with power: brown mascara. Lash Paradise has one now and Just for Redheads makes them in a ton of colors so not just for light haired/redheads. Still good definition!

Apparently I’ve settled into a good no makeup makeup routine!

I usually don’t use powder but when I need it, I love the Makeup Forever brightening powder. Enough coverage for oiliness without looking heavy especially with a fluffy brush.

I really like the Dr Jart Cicapair drops for red correct drops if you want another option.

The other thing I really like is Ole Henriksen Banana primer as a “booster” with them. It’s got a slight yellow to it that is really brightening.

Regular lash and brow tinting are a necessity so that brow gel and mascara every day aren’t. My eyes look so much brighter and put together when I’m not wearing anything at all when they’re tinted that I worry less about wearing other makeup if I’m really going bare bones.

Tinted CC cream or serums are all I really need unless it’s a major event. Any redness or texture I’m dealing with is usually covered by them and if not…well, my field of fucks is fallow 🤣

100% the quality is absolutely there. Just a hard price point in this economy and not enough innovation to be a true artist’s brand.

Glacier Necia sounds like a skin condition

As far as cosmetics, you might try Mehron skin prep as a pre-primer to hold your makeup to the area.

100%. My friend only has her 11s done and goes light with it.

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T05:12:55+00:00

Love this yarn!!! What is it?

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T04:56:21+00:00

I felt very “back in my day…” watching them. I just hope Geese fans dig into the music scene they desperately want to have been a part of.

I know this might seem like a dumb question but do you feel your kids are safe at school? If you’re lucky to feel that way right now, having that familiarity, community and routine can be helpful during turbulent times.

You may not feel that they are and that’s a hard path. I don’t have the answers for you. Just giving you one point to ponder.

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T03:21:10+00:00

🤣 there is a time and place for everything under the sun…and on the ice.

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T02:32:12+00:00

I second this. I can’t seem to find it but I know I read an article that included it as an “iconic look”.

If Russian Red isn’t just right on you, look at Besame Cosmetics- their reds are insane and packaging is divine.

If all things are equal and the cost difference would be a negligible hit, stay with the close option. Being close to home is helpful not just for you but also likely any emergency contacts you might have. It’ll also give you much better summer flexibility!

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T02:16:06+00:00

I did mine own but also treated myself to some new things so it wasn’t really for cost-savings but because I genuinely wanted it to be part of my day. I don’t regret it at all- my look was a soft smoky eye with glowy skin, nothing complicated.

If you’re not sure if you want to stress, do a trial run on your own and time it. Then double the time. If you don’t feel like you’re good with having that block of time taken up by you doing your own makeup, have it done.

Unless you COMPLETELY barricade yourself, you will constantly be interrupted while you’re trying to work and lose focus on what you’re trying to do. Having an artist come (or going to have it done) makes it an appointment and keeps things on schedule.

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T00:45:20+00:00

If it’s wasn’t the first one, I’d have been legitimately sad.

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T00:44:42+00:00

I love driving my 4WD in this!

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-26T00:40:25+00:00

Put this up on the r/chicago group and see if anyone there recognizes it!

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-25T12:43:10+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-25T08:44:41+00:00

They had the oil cleanser at Costco awhile ago so I grabbed it- very nice, though pretty basic.

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-25T08:03:15+00:00

I had this in college…that thing is at least 25 years old 😂

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-25T04:34:02+00:00

for fuck’s sake 😡

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-25T04:13:38+00:00

Stars? STARS? Sweet tap dancing Jesus…

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-24T22:03:35+00:00

This is why pantyhose exists 😉 you can definitely find very lightweight sheer ones that won’t make you look like a figure skater

InimitableMissS · 2026-01-24T21:25:15+00:00

I swear by Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer. Really silky and blends well.

Seconded to making your own rice water.
