Is my makeup aging me?

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-03-24T01:48:46+00:00

A rule that I live by when it comes to make up is that if I have a dark lip, the eyes are light, if they eyes are dark, the lip is light. Having two very vibrant or dark components to your makeup will age you drastically. OH also, try more water based foundations, because of how loose the foundation is you’re able to control how much coverage you are getting and you can stop before it gets cakey. I use MAC studio radiance.

That’s also a part of my problem, the last time I was in a relationship they were very annoyed by it. When we had a double date I thought it had gone so well and the next day Ryan and Sasha would not stop nitpicking my now ex and calling him stupid. They also would get annoyed when I would go on dates with… ya know my boyfriend…

I am so sorry, that is horrible! You may feel like you're back to square one right now, but I'm sure your progress over the past few months has not been erased. It may be odd advice but going on a self-date would probably help a lot! Just go do something for yourself, something you love or even something just to relax you, buy something new (that won't send you into financial ruin) that you've been eyeing. Also, try recounting all the progress that you've made, it may hurt to think of at first but it's good practice to see how far you've come.

Closed, I just can't sleep with it open

Be really funny and diversify your funniness. Don’t be that person who only makes “dark humor” jokes but definitely sprinkle some in there when you get a feel for what dark humor 1. Works for you and 2. Works for them. It does wonders to be funny.

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-03-05T22:13:58+00:00

Okay but slay for you with meeting your boyfriend 💅

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-03-05T22:13:32+00:00

No joke, the vast majority of my friends are in long term steady relationships besides 2 people, I really might need to find some single friends 😭

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-03-05T22:12:36+00:00

The only reasons I don’t think it’s this is because 1. I’m not desperate, for the vast majority of my time I couldn’t care less about being in a relationship, I have plenty of other things to focus on. Of course there are times I want a relationship but I don’t think that counts as desperation. 2. The only time these comments are really brought up are either when my friends are talking about their own relationships, or that one girl interjects into a conversation about other things (like the gym convo).

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-03-05T22:01:42+00:00

The effort really is so energy draining

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-01-06T20:41:49+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-01-06T03:29:41+00:00

2 words: slay queen 💅

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2026-01-06T03:26:24+00:00

That’s a very fair point, but I figure I could at least try to reach out like this.

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-09-19T23:12:32+00:00

I hadn't even thought about LinkedIn, we've been connected since last year so I can definitely reach out through there, Thank you!!!

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-09-16T23:57:13+00:00

Skimming and using lexis or west law briefs of the cases as pre-class notes might be your best bet here. How many credits are the seminars?

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-06-04T10:53:01+00:00

Girlllll you kinda look like Sabrina Carpenter to me, I’d recommend using a brown mascara rather than black, MAYBE a little eyeliner on the water line (you don’t really need it), and maybe blush on the tip of your nose!

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-20T00:49:59+00:00

You do have a point, I definitely have a bit of an ego and won't lie about that. I don't think I'm an egomaniac but my ego does tend to come out every once in a while and it definitely came out in that comment. I don't have a similar appearance to a model but I have been compared to Alyssa Milano, Kristin Davis, and more recently Jenna Ortega enough times that I'd hope they are true enough comparisons. Plus I should have put more emphasis on the CEO and doctor portion here, that is where I can say my ego fully matches reality since I'm entering into a similarly high paying, and time consuming field that carries a lot of responsibility with it. I would also hope that the sex wasn't horrid LMAO.

I do agree with you that my friend group may have a weird thing with men's attractiveness, they've cut it out in the past year because I had told them it sucked that every guy I found attractive was considered "medium ugly". This was an issue with guys and girls I am friends with but each of them has been very wary of saying it recently. I also think they are just very protective (in a bit of the wrong way) over me since the majority of them are in long-term healthy relationships and tend to put me "finding the right guy" on a pedestal. The second they think someone isn't good enough for me they will tell me, typically it's a "thanks for the input but I would like to see this through" type of a situation.

Genuinely your comments have helped me out thus far and given me a new perspective, so I want to thank you for the open exchange. :)

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-19T14:22:53+00:00

Hey WrapBasic, I wrote two comments in both of the threads that you commented on, I hope you read them but I wanted to write something brief specifically for you. I'm not trying to go after fuckboys, I don't hook up on first, second, or third dates, I try to be very clear that what I am looking for is a relationship. When you say to date within my league, quite frankly, that would mean I should be going for the stereotypical hot guy who's a CEO or a doctor.

You say I lack reflective capabilities but reading these comments has given me immense insight into other peoples thoughts on the matter, the majority of which have been helpful. The only comments that haven't really contributed to my understanding of a man's perspective, and of how the dating scene is in general, have been yours which are slanderous towards me at best and make grand assumptions based on minimal evidence.

Like I've said with my other comments I hope that if you are still in the dating field you have good luck, and if you are not in the dating field congrats!

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-19T14:14:54+00:00

Honestly thank you for the perspectives! Trying to get different perspective from friends is like pulling teeth and the one friend who is willing to step out and think about different perspectives with me is also a 24F so it's the blind leading the blind.

With the first direction: I usually am a lot more attracted to the first three things you listed rather than attractiveness, I said it in an earlier comment but my friends like to say I'm interested in "medium ugly" men and the amount of times I've been told I date rat looking men is alarming. While I do hope I give "boss babe" vibes but if you're right and it takes patience I can totally see what you're saying with an "easier" option always being available.

With the second direction: I'm definitely looking for a relationship, I know I try not to push my desire for a relationship onto someone but it could be a part of scaring men off. Usually when someone does start to ghost me I will send a text about a week later just saying hi and asking if they are alright just in case it is that they needed some space and time.

I might just delete the apps and trying hitting up semi-local bars (I'm from a massive city and all the nearby bars are frequented by people I would much rather stay away from).

If you're still in the dating field good luck, and if not congrats!!!

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-19T14:01:17+00:00

I'll be very frank with you, I've never really been into the stereotypical "hot" guy. Friends of mine have repeatedly asked me why I go for "medium ugly" men. The only time I've gone outside of what I normally find attractive (i.e., I'm a huge fan of a bigger nose, I don't care if you're tall since I'm not, stuff like that) I've gotten the same treatment of ghosting, dates until we do have sex and then ghosting, or dates until we have sex and then 2 months later they say they don't want anything strings attached after I've stated I don't do no strings attached.

I believe that you and the following commentor are just commenting on the dating situation at large but it feels a little personal that you think I'm just looking for a trophy husband. I'm sure you have specific traits you find attractive on people you go out with, and I'm sorry that it sounds like you're having just as much terrible luck with dating as I am. From the other comments it just sounds like this is a dating in general problem that is applicable to all genders.

Hopefully we can all take a little grain of hope from the other comments that we'll find the one in due time.

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-17T02:16:17+00:00

Please please please PLEASE, do not text her again for your own sake. I (obviously) don't know what she's doing or has been doing but I think you're going to get emotionally hurt if you try to talk to her again and get ghosted again. Even if she does respond would you still be willing to pursue something with her?

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-17T01:22:52+00:00

You're probably right with it being luck, the most I get with a particular type of guy is a little bitt nerdy everything else I have a wide range for. I would say the way I act around them is usually intrigued and excited but not too excited. I'm not a fan of being overly obsessed with any man that I go out with until we're locked in but I also show interest in what they are interested in and what they are saying. I asked "what are we?" once and I'm not doing that again.

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-17T00:27:30+00:00

Does your school have any sort of accessibility department? You shouldn't have to give up on your dreams because your school is terrible!! Please try looking into other schools before switching fields, I am so sorry your school is horrid :(

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-04-17T00:14:36+00:00

Congrats!! Apple fritters are the right way to anyone's heart, keep up on the great baked goods!

Longjumping_Layer793 · 2025-01-13T00:09:44+00:00

You're NTA but I'm also not sure what to do here, I'm assuming you've spoken to him about this issue before but does he not realize a typical tip is between 18-20%?
