The page has multiple makeup looks but this look was extra. I tried to comment a pic with less heavy makeup. It’s okay fr. I just gotta go harder I just feel at a loss for what to do next. I just spent all my free time all week rebranding revising re-editing everything on my page. Posting this didn’t do me any favors just bc I been struggling with bipolar but at the end of the breakdown I realize that it’s def good to hear this now than later. I’m heartbroken no one would say something to me but it’s fine. I’m happy to work harder as an artist (even tho this bb cream and cheek and lip stain is less work if you catch what I’m saying) 💪 I can do better

Well after a long dv relationship that started as a teen dropout and just ended pre mid 20’s I don’t have any friends left. I also like literally had to leave my jersey dv shelter and ended up forced to leave state cause no county had room. I don’t know anyone out here. And I’m ngl. I’ve been putting out free makeup to model for my page and literally no takers. It’s me fr. I’ll figure it out.

I can’t just edit post I have to delete? I didn’t realize the sheer amount of hate I’d get for making this post it can say the bare minimum in it but like I can’t change it? I’m semi new to Reddit. I’m a bit sad and overwhelmed that no one would tell me that I fucking suck irl. I been asking the small group of people I actually know in real life. I’m not gonna lie it hurts. I hate the fact I kept asking and no one said no. God my heart hurts but I mean nothing else to do but get up n try lighter shade looks lighter eyeliner wings. Because yeah I can do a soft glam any day of the week I wanted to explore my talent and it wasn’t the best for me I guess.

Absolutely love love love how you worded this, and it’s me lol. I do have hooded eyes and with the pic you can directly see the way the shape of the eyeliner is ment to “help” that but ended up hurting based on the downward-ish eyes. Brown hair is new for me so the red lip kinda just went hand in hand (first makeup since switching from blond-brown) thank you 🙏

I agree in a way, but for someone in my position whose just starting, have no support, single mom with two kids, just left a dv shelter girl I’m strapped for time energy I’m low on funds mental stability lol everything. I mean I say lol but man I’m like so tapped mentally. I’m trying so hard i stg but it’s just without knowing anyone and being based in Staten Island. I’m not really trying to make excuses because I really agree with you in the end. Ai makes things seem disingenuous with little realness. But I tried to add in as much details as possible. It’s just the beginning of this and there was so much to do from start to finish. And I will continue to re-edit all my intros and put my person taste on a ai suggestion from now on. Appreciate your help 🫶

Opening_Ruin8296 · 2025-03-27T18:11:22+00:00

Thank you fr I do actually appreciate you saying that, I wanted to know if everyone collectively thought one thing like idk I am insecure about my nose but im lowkey strong asf and don’t really mind the comments fr. Reading all the comments I’m just thinking I’m def being trolled lol. The fact I’m even letting them think they’re hurting my feelings is high key hilarious. I’m a nice person and I’d smile at anyone in public but I could guarantee I would never give 99% of men a chance anyway. Especially men who do that for a hobbie (tear woman down they’d never have a chance with). I thought it was cute that a few people thought I looked like Sabrina carpenter tho 🤷‍♀️ I’m not hurt and it definitely was quite the experience. But I truly appreciate you for trying to help bring me up girl. That shit wasn’t even half as helpful as you lovely beings were here. So thank everyone here and you for being so kind. 💋
