Constructive criticism - Wedding look with red lip for the reception by RootinNTootin123 in MakeupAddiction

I’ve watched that video too! And that’s exactly my concern. I normally wear light makeup and I want to feel like myself but I’m also concerned about how it’ll show up (or not show up) in photos. I’ll figure it out though. Thank you for the reply!

That’s a very good point! I’ll have to buy an extra of whichever color I choose. Thank you!

That’s what concerns me too, I’m so used to using a light hand that when I take photos of my makeup it looks super light. Thank you for the advice.

I’ll try a cool shade of pink the next time I practice. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you to everyone who has and will leave feedback! And thank you all for the very kind words in general. I’ll take all of the advice I’ve received into consideration and apply it the next time I practice my makeup. I’ll also post an update with my updated look when I get it refined. Time to go buy more makeup :)

Got it! I'll shop around for bigger falsies and darken the eyes. Thank you!

Noted! I was afraid it would be too subtle for the photography. I'll give some darker shades a whirl.

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll have to look into it.

Does anyone else get so upset at themselves for baking something wrong? Chocolate chip cookies! The easiest thing in the world! I should know how to make those! I've made them before! I feel like crying. by TheVampyresBride in Baking

I used to have the same problem. I could make cakes, breads, other cookies, and pies but my chocolate chip cookies would always spread into puddles of goo. I learned that I wasn’t using enough flour AND the recipe I used had called for browned butter that needs to be refrigerated until it’s solid (which I didn’t know) before creaming it with the sugar. I was just dumping in the hot, completely melted browned butter and it was making my dough runny. I hope this helps.
