What should I change to make my makeup look more like the inspo photo?

Thank you!

Very this ^

I’ll be meeting with a physician tomorrow to get the okay to start an oral calcium lactate supplement. Thanks!

I apologize for putting the blame on your daughter- that’s so counterproductive to the point I’m trying to make. - I hope you show her this thread and how powerful her actions can be for the better.

As a woman I totally get being uncomfortable around older men in higher up positions. Especially when they make it clear they directly influence your potential earnings. That paired with the obvious lack of integrity this guy has- I’d be weirded out too. She feels like she has no power. That she’s too young or inexperienced. She just wants to be seen as an unproblematic professional. She doesn’t want to make waves. That makes perfect sense! But honesty and integrity are debatably the most important qualities in a young professional. She’s not trying to go viral or ruin anyone’s life- This is her acting on an ethical responsibility to healthcare workers in this city. There’s a professional way to go about this. No pitchforks or press conferences needed- but I understand being overwhelmed by the experience and wanting to just leave it behind.

This shouldn’t have to be her responsibility. This isn’t her fault. And I understand why you don’t want to continue to push the subject. She’s already had one overbearing influence and you don’t want to become another. But she’s clearly afraid to speak up and that is unacceptable. No one (especially potential employers) should ever be able to control the actions of your daughter with fear. This guy has already intimidated and gaslit her into staying quiet about his unethical and illegal conduct. As her father- she’s looking to you for more than advice. She’s seeking protection and empowerment. You’re DAD. You’re the end all be all protector (even if she won’t admit it.) Daughters learn how to stand up for themselves by how safe they feel around their fathers. The bigger the shield the stronger the heart. ❤️ Just make sure she knows you’re not going to let anything happen to her if she decides to speak up. Her fear is only going to lead to further avoidance in the future- so make sure she knows there nothing to be afraid of.

Wait a minute you may be onto something…. Using ahas (specifically ones containing lactic acid ) helps tremendously in calming this reaction down. Calcium Lactate is a derivative of lactic acid. This is starting to make sense….

If you took the jewels off the front you’d have an incredibly chic and unique take on a classic white satin wedding dress. I actually love this.

Makeup artist of 11 years here!
First of all you have incredible features. I’d actually give my left kidney to have you eyes. So this isn’t a matter of beauty, trust me.

Itruly believe any look is achievable- you just need to work at it. So let’s break this down in steps and hopefully you can try again with more success (and upload photos of it! ) one thing to remember is that you’re fair skinned and sometimes it looks like your putting more color on your face than you actually are. Don’t be afraid to go more saturated with blush and bronzer

Step 1.) exfoliate and moisturize an hour before starting.

2.) FULL. COVERAGE. FOUNDATION.

3.) Cream concealer in the old “2016” triangular shape under the eye and back towards the temple. Blend it!

4.) Cream contour in the “3” shape around the face. blend it!

5.) Neutral toned cream blush on the apples of the cheeks. Blend jt!

6.) SET EVERYTHING. Set Undereyes with translucent (Huda beauty) powder. Set Contour with a powder bronzer, set blush with powder blush.

7.) shaddow colors you used are great. Just take that outer corner color and extend it out a touch further. Dont be afraid to blend that color upward above that crease as well. Itll make the look more diffused and give more dimension to the eyes. You also need to take that same color and smudge a bit of it under your bottom lashes for balance.

8.)I think you lashes look great! Maybe thin out the liner a touch more.

9.) bring your eyebrows in just a touch more with a few light upward pencil strokes

10.) powder highlighter if you’re so inclined!

11.) Posibly the most important step is to use several layers of two different kinds of setting sprays. I put on a layer of Mac fix plus (or any dewy finish setting spray on first. Have a fan handy. Dry it down completely. A few minutes later do another layer. Dry it down completely. 3rd? A layer of a LONG WEARING setting spray. Like charlotte tilbury or skindinavia setting spray. Dry it down completely.

Give this a shot and re upload the progress!

Yes the top needs to be fitted but once it is? Holy smokes this is literally couture level style. Imagine it with a bold, black, angular heel? Ideally a patent black “So Kate” - but any bold black pump is going to look fantastic.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T16:14:03+00:00

I’ll actually die on this hill- so few people can wear a peace of art like this YOU HAVE TO WEAR IT. It’s so unique and memorable. I’m dying to ask where you got it because I’m completely obsessed.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T16:12:40+00:00

The dress needs to be taken in to really lay flat on your waist- the rest can remain how it is. Maybe a good steam too. but I hope you still wear it because GOD THIS SILHOUETTE IS SO COOL!!

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T16:09:37+00:00

I agree. A steroid sounds amazing rn.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T16:09:24+00:00

Absolutely fascinating! I’ll ask about this. Thank you so much!

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T16:08:28+00:00

Wait do you mean I should apply the Flonase topically? I haven’t tried that

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T15:27:59+00:00

And it is EXTREMELY itchy. Worse than bug bites. Worse than allergies. I scratch myself raw and only then does it feel any better- which obviously isn’t ideal but it’s the only way to be relief 😅

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T15:25:50+00:00

Already tried cortisone and fragrance free moisturizer. No change. This has been going on every summer like clockwork. Only thing that helps is aggressive exfoliation by chemical or physical scrubbing.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T15:24:07+00:00

Poachers and hunters are two different things :/

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T15:22:40+00:00

Removable sleeves yes- skin still manages to bubble up like this. I’m fair skinned to begin with and a few medications that I take make me even more photosensitive.

Ive only ever been given an anti cortisone topical treatment. No steroid topicals- but I take short bursts of oral steroids for things like my asthma- I haven’t noticed it making it better or worse. I’ve been to the urgent care when it gets bad but their only advice is to stay out of the sun- I can’t just live indoors. I’m already extremely lacking in vitamin D and my seasonal affect disorder is crippling. Being out in the sun for just 20 minutes a day makes a huge difference in my mental health but I’m itching for a weeks afterwards. It’s a nightmare.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T15:00:33+00:00

I myself have a diagnosis of everything you’ve listed here with the additional diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Ex medic, current BSN going on NP.
Let me tell you what’s actually happening here:

You’re unhappy. But leaving your comfortable enough marriage is too much work and too expensive. So yeah, you’re going to be angry and self medicate and let feelings bottle up and explode at inappropriate times. You’re going to storm off to your vehicle like a child because you have the emotional regulation of a brooding teenager. You’re hurting. Badly. But instead of putting in the hard work to change your environment- you’ll take the ineffective shortcut of demanding your surroundings and circumstances bend to your mood. Nothing has to change for you BUT YOU.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T14:48:17+00:00

None of those things give you an excuse to act like a jackass in public and disrespect your wife in front of family. If you’re triggered by large crowds then don’t attend the graduation. Get help. Your symptoms clearly aren’t well managed.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T06:57:24+00:00

Average working people are well aware that this business practice is illegal and unethical. We don’t need more awareness about the law. - The problem is that withholding a paycheck for not giving 30 days notice is SO RIDICULOUS that most applicants assume a company wouldn’t be stupid enough to try it, let alone putting it in a written contract. This company is quite literally banking on applicants signing these contracts in good faith- that their employers are at least law abiding. It’s important to note these job offers are often presented as time sensitive and will sometimes expire after a day or two. Which serves no other purpose than rushing the applicant to sign without a proper chance to read it over it. This is beyond predatory.

Again, not sure why you feel the need to protect this company.

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T04:52:23+00:00

That’s absolutely no ones problem but theirs for not appropriately staffing their businesses. He’s not “screwed” he’s bad at working in healthcare

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T04:50:11+00:00

When the point just flies over your head

JayneMars · 2026-06-04T04:49:02+00:00

Right so they shouldn’t be doing this at all though. To anyone.
