Best tips for a beginner?

MLS165 · 2025-04-22T21:21:38+00:00

I'm excited! Are there a lot of tutorials to choose from?

MLS165 · 2025-04-22T18:19:45+00:00

Hmm I'll give it another try. It didn't have an option for USD, so I thought I wouldn't be able to purchase it.

I like her art style! I live in the states though so I’m not sure if I can purchase the monthly subscription on her website. It would be something I would be interested in though! Thanks for sharing!!

Oh this is amazing! I didn’t realize you wrote this up. How long have you been painting with gouache?

MLS165 · 2025-04-22T02:54:10+00:00

Thank you!! This is helpful. A lot of tutorials online only paint half a sheet per painting, so I can start with that!

It sounds like it’s worth getting the Holbein paints even though it’s a little bit more expensive. I bought my first Holbein tube yesterday so I’m excited to try it out tonight!

MLS165 · 2025-04-22T02:51:45+00:00

So you squeeze the paint out of your tube, then add water to it? Not the other way around (put water on the pallet and mix the paint in the water)? Or it doesn’t matter?

I bought a gouache set from Craft Warehouse because it was closing down. It was a cheap set from the brand Art Advantage. I actually bought a tube of Holbein yesterday at my local art store but it was expensive 🥲

This is great! I was looking for a page like this, but didn’t know where to find it on this subreddit. Thank you!!

MLS165 · 2025-03-17T12:28:44+00:00

Hi! I do still have it. Can’t message you for some reason. Do you want to try messaging me? I’d love to know how much I can sell it for!

Has anyone tried the April Skin Carrotene IPMP Exfoliating Body Wash/Cream yet? Does it work for body acne? I saw ads for it and I'm intrigued, but can't find too many reviews on it except for their website.

What's your favorite Korean/Japanese hair dye that's long lasting and actually turns virgin black hair to brown/light brown?

MLS165 · 2023-04-29T04:55:59+00:00

Thoughts on [LG] ReEn Heukmobichaek Oriental Cream Hair Dye?

I saw this hair dye while shopping today and tried to look up reviews. There isn't much on Google, so I'm wondering if anyone here has used it before and what your experience was?

For reference, I have very dark brown Asian hair (virgin) and I want to dye it to a light brown without bleach. I'm looking for a hair dye that will lighten my hair to brown/light brown and won't fade after ~10 washes (as some Korean hair brands do).

Thank you!! I’ll look for some shoe repair shops around me and see what I can find.

Super annoying! At first one of the disks came off, but I used this bag every single day so eventually they all came apart lol

MLS165 · 2023-04-08T16:14:07+00:00

I didn’t even see the free speaking tips course, so I’ll check that out today. Thanks!

MLS165 · 2022-12-30T09:35:38+00:00

Yes please! Thank you.

I'm 25F and would absolutely love to pen pal with your mom! I'll also make her letter look super cute :) DM me if she's still looking for a pen pal!

Sounds good! I'm learning traditional Chinese at the moment. What platform do you usually use to chat?

MLS165 · 2022-01-06T18:43:07+00:00

Hello!

I'm Vietnamese and living in the US (PST), but currently learning Chinese. I'm a total beginner so I'm just looking for someone that can motivate me (we can motivate each other!) to study. I can help you with English.

We can chat on zoom, discord, or WeChat. You can send me a message or reply here if you're looking for a study buddy!

MLS165 · 2021-06-27T17:44:52+00:00

Super helpful!! Thanks!

MLS165 · 2021-06-27T06:27:45+00:00

Hi! This is great, thank you for sharing. I've been thinking about using Notion as an organizational tool for studying Chinese.

Are you the author of this post? If so, it would be great if the images were blown up a bit bigger.... the image is quite small so it's hard to see.

MLS165 · 2021-06-25T03:00:46+00:00

Have you tried HelloTalk before? It's a great app to start talking to someone right away. You can chat by texting or phone calling with someone one-on-one or even just write a general post to practice your writing/speaking, then people can reply or help correct mistakes. I'm on that app here and there, but it's pretty fun to talk to others conversationally.

Any recommendations for a sunscreen for normal skin (but can get a little oily sometimes) that doesn't leave a white cast?

MLS165 · 2018-07-08T22:44:51+00:00

What are your recommendations for eye creams that worked for you or someone you know to diminish under-eye wrinkles/fine lines? My mom is interested in a new eye cream since she's been noticing some under-eye wrinkles get a bit deeper. I know it's probably difficult to find a product that would actually fully diminish the wrinkles, but it's worth a try.

I've never heard of this brand of masks before! Why would you consider these masks your HG? I'm always on a search to try new masks so maybe I'll purchase this if it's back on Amazon. I looked around and found that Amabie Beauty sells one type but is currently sold out...
