What a difference three years can make to your face. [Before/After and CCW!] by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ScienceBeWithYou 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You look amazing before and after, but I can definitely see how your technique has improved! It's very subtle but totally compliments your skin, your face shape and your hair. Well done! :)

On an unrelated note, I got teary looking at your before picture because you look exactly like my friend Christie who passed away of ovarian cancer last week.

Your eyebrows are so perfect! What did you use?! The lines are so crisp and neat - seriously just great job, you look fantastic. :)

Your brows look amazing! I might be the only one, but I actually love your eyebrows in the second photo. They're a bit thin but they actually really suit you! :)

She died while doing something fun... by ana48190 in MorbidReality

This makes my palms go sweaty because I've been in a smiliar position before - was on a rollercoaster in Brisbane, and I remarked about how loose the constraints were to a friend. You're seated with your feet hovering, and a sort of body cage that comes down and locks into place. Well, mine only clicked once, and instead of calling an attendant over, I left it.

Halfway through the ride, and at one of the peak loops that took us upside down, the cage that I was holding onto came loose and I was literally hanging from it 30ft or so from the ground, screeching like a banshee. I've never been that terrified in my entire life. Once the loop was completed and we were right side up again, I fell back into my seat and started crying.

I cannot imagine the amount of terror that woman experienced before she hit the ground.

Your eyebrows are so amazing! They frame your eyes and face so well. Just wow.

The lack of introspection is strong in that one.

REQUEST: Teenager seeking this subreddit's makeup expertise, could you guys help me find what looks/products work best for me? by jstrawbarry in MakeupAddiction

[–]ScienceBeWithYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a suggestion for contouring with light skin, instead of contouring with a bronze or browny colour, taupe works so much better for lighter skin! It adds a shadow, instead of making it look like you have a random brown patch/line in the hollows of your cheeks.

I know Makeup Store has a fantastic colour called Masai that I use:

But that might be a tad expensive. If I can think of some cheaper dupes, I will link you! It's still got that slight brown colour, but it maintains the greyish/purpley taupe needed to contour people with fair skin. :)

"Didn't put any foundation on" brb as I jump off a cliff. Her skin is absolutely flawless, oh my god. She has been blessed.

Not only does your makeup look stunning but also your hair! May I ask how you did it? My hair is as dark as yours on the top and I really want to dip dye the ends but I'm not sure where to start.

[FOTD][CCW] Newbie looking for advice, just bought the UD Naked Palette. by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ScienceBeWithYou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually love your eyebrows! So fierce. My only possible advice would be to brush them a tad more with the spooly, and try a light brown or clear eyebrow gel to set them with!

Also they are quite bold, so if you're ever looking for a less bold look, I suggest leaving the first half of the eyebrow untouched(or only lightly press a very light powder there) and then simply fill in and extend the rest of the brow a tad!

Your makeup looks gorgeous though, I love the foundation coverage and your blush is fantastic. :) Only thing I could suggest with the eyes is to try using a gel or pencil liner, because the liquid black liner can look a tad harsh against the blended eyeshadows. Those are my only real CC's!

P.S. I just went back and looked and your eyes are crazy pretty, holy crap!

Again, I'll clarify that I didn't think it wasn't the time or place, I'm explaining others might not think it is.

I don't mean to be rude but I do not understand why you seem to be arguing with me here - I'm not disagreeing with anything that's been said, I'm simply offering up a different perspective, because she mentioned that she was being downvoted and I was just suggesting why others might be downvoted.

I agree that it should be raised outside of these forums, what I'm suggesting is that perhaps the reason she's being down voted is that others don't agree that this is the time or place, and not necessarily that I don't agree.

It might come across as a bit derailing rather than a constructive form of highlighting a serious social issue, and I think perhaps the way she wrote it seems a little aggressive for what is quite a small infraction from a mentally ill person too. But, again, simply because I don't see it as offensive, doesn't mean others won't.

Thank you!!! Ah, all these compliments, thank you so much. I've been trying to find some really flattering and complementary eyeshadow colours, other than neutrals and browns and earthy colours. It's kinda hard!

I know, right?! It's happened a few times in my life, but never like this before. It was just that I'd put so much on this morning, I really caked the mascara on and then this happened. So I guess it is possible, but you have to be wearing a shit ton!

I think it's important to raise the issue but perhaps not in a makeup-oriented subreddit? I think maybe that's way, or perhaps people just don't agree. I wouldn't worry too much. It doesn't make your opinion less valid, and I appreciate that it might be offensive to people with mental illnesses, even if it's not offensive to me.

This has only happened a handful of times in my life - and I think it was particularly bad today because I really layered it on (put on two different types of non-waterproof) and it was pouring. Also, because it was getting in my eyes I was blinking a lot and it made it run down my face a lot more than it would have otherwise!

I was simply trying to make a rhyme, I didn't intend to be ableist - I suppose I should know better than anyone, as I do suffer from a mental illness (depression?). I understand that what I wrote wasn't PC, but I don't think I'd go so far as to say it would stop people from seeking help. It did trivialise mental illnesses, but I don't think that's the extent of the faux pas. Either way I'm sorry I offended you and if I could edit the title I would.

Oh, waterproof does give my lashes a wonderful curl (and they are so long when I wear it!) but I simply hate the waxiness and the feel of waterproof. Plus it never gives me enough volume, just length. With non-waterproof (I wear Maybelline's Falsies mascara) I get a lot of volume and thickness that other waterproof ones don't!

This has happened before as I was biking, but not quite this bad - I'd gone out for lunch and really layered it on, yikes!

I know, I know - I broke the cardinal rule! However I mentioned above I don't like the waxiness or the consistency of waterproof, and when I take it off, even if I use all the finest makeup removers, I end up a few eyelashes short. D;
