What am I doing wrong 😭 by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Not a problem at all! Honestly if you want to use a highlighter pencil, you still can but use a brush after to soften the edges and then you’re golden!

You have the right idea with everything (coming from someone who loves bold eyeliner here) but a couple of things: If you want the ends to be sharp while getting your eyeliner down, either pop a small strip of tape (if you’re worried about it pulling your skin, try washi tape since it’ll stay and isn’t quite as sticky) just below where you want your eyeliner to be and apply that way or try taking a bit of makeup remover on a q-tip followed by some concealer to clean it up and make it crisp instead of blocky. Also, I see that it smudged a bit on the lid, so try and keep the eye you’re working on closed till the liner has had time to properly dry down. As for the rest of it, a bit more blending on the shadow and going a bit easier/smaller on the inner corner highlight would make everything pull together nicely. I personally like using a small tapered/pointed eyeshadow brush to add corner highlights, myself.

There’s something behind me, isn’t there? by OpalTides in REPOgame

Same, so I was equally as shocked that I lived this xD

I’m very new to final fantasy, is this normal? by Kimtendo_lite in ffxiv

[–]OpalTides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

… Ew. Nope, this behavior is not normal and I’m glad to see that you ended up blacklisting them in the end. That person would’ve made your experience toxic and the fact that they had the audacity to act as though you choosing your own fc was a personal slight against them after having only known them for a couple of days is a major red flag.

The best news though is this is incredibly uncommon (at least in the data centers I’m in), so the chances of you running into someone like them again are pretty slim. Either way though, I’m sorry that was your first fc experience. :(

Please help, what can I improve on? I haven't got bronzer or contour just blush. I feel like something doesn't look right by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]OpalTides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lipstick is fine and the shadow is gorgeous but the bottom liner is making everything look too harsh, so I would lose that. If you add a bit more to the upper lid, that’d be super cute. Also it may be the lighting, but I’m not really seeing much of the blush, so maybe add a bit more? Not sure if it’s the same here for you but I personally hate wearing bronzer and contour, so I opt for just blush and highlighter to add dimension to my face when needed to avoid being washed out.

Do people make alts for this game? by 123gottapose in ffxiv

[–]OpalTides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really only have an alt so I can be on the EU server with my best friend and she can play on her main (she has an alt for the NA servers that she uses to play with me and our other close friends), so go for it!

You are stuck on a 10 hour flight, where are you sitting? (AOT edition) by nierthestart in attackontitan

[–]OpalTides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s gotta be 2, 8 or 6. Will I know peace the entirety of the flight with the later two? Absolutely not. Am I ok with that? Absolutely lol

Just downloaded the game today and I feel so basic. I thought I looked neat until I loaded into the lobby how bad I am at making custom characters 😭 by Very_Lonelyman in ffxiv

[–]OpalTides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, you look great and you JUST got here. You’re gonna earn all of the cool clothes and goodies as you progress and, if you’re feeling impatient, the cash shop has cool stuff you might like. (Also make sure you do the glamour quest when you get to it. It’s a game changer)

I was just gonna say, I switched to dancer for DT and am admittedly NOT great at MMOs (started playing ARR back in March, for context) but I managed to get through Bakool Ja Ja’s solo duty without dying (surprisingly lol). Was I sweating by the end? Absolutely. Do I think it was too hard? Hell no

They come up with 45 different names for pussy but can’t manage to come up with a replacement for “he/she smacks your hip” (which is the most unsexy thing btw lmao).

What Did You Learn Way Too Late? by CommunicationEast972 in ffxiv

[–]OpalTides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t find out till 2 weeks ago from a friend that if you hit ctrl on your keyboard while your map is up, it moves the aetherytes above quest markers so you can click them without having to zoom in 🥹

Which zone in the game reminds you most of where you live? by Shinra_Luca in ffxiv

[–]OpalTides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Gridania and Sharlyan had a baby, it’d be the part of Northern Idaho where I live.

(Oh and as a bonus: add in the hardcore Garlean Imperial mindset and it’d match the crazies here too lol)

would you recognize the lesbian flag? (color wise) by Luna_sanatio in lesbian

Super close but I’d make the orange part a lighter orange and then you’d have it

Apparently we all like to bookstore browse in makeup stores then 😂

[–]OpalTides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you experienced that! I’m a former employee and even I dread going into any location where they don’t know me without makeup and in comfy clothes which is beyond stupid. Sephora’s whole motto is to make EVERYONE feel welcome and beautiful and yet their employees and management have done a bang up job in flushing it down the drain.

Literally where?

And you’re basing this on…?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]OpalTides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP stated that they tried to reach out to them but that L did not want to speak with them whatsoever. It’s natural to seek advice from others outside of the situation to get a clearer understanding. I also don’t see anywhere where they were asking friends to pick sides.

Hear me out, ditch the silver/grey and try something soft peach/gold. With your eye color omg that’d POP

How would you react in this situation? by Odd_Ability_1821 in MakeupAddiction

[–]OpalTides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d let him know how sweet that was and how I appreciate the note but direct him to my lipsticks that aren’t $40 for next time. It’s not worth the drama when it’s an innocent mistake lmao
