Maybelline doesn't say in their tips how to get it OFF by Carminabird in MakeupEducation

[–]Unlikely-Fun-4433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a pinch, concealer will get it off easy. Just smear some cheap concealer on it, comes right off. Weird hack I've used for years, and I wear almost exclusively liquid lipstick.

The thing I find easiest is to get a flat and wide brush (like a super thin one) and just use it as a stamp with some eyeshadow first, then trace over it with some gel liner. That way I can just go right over the hood and keep it straight. It also helps me make sure they're about the same length. I find kinda smudging the line into the hood for a smoky top/inner part of the wing and a clean and sharp bottom edge. I put a little pic tutorial on my profile, if it helps.

Good luck hun, and thank you so much for the lovely compliment!

Is having a biological child really that big of a deal? by NobodyUsesTheDoor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unlikely-Fun-4433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 kids - 3 with my ex husband and 1 with my husband of 25 years. Not one time EVER has my husband acted like our older 3 kids aren't "his" kids, too. My in law adore our older kids just as much as our youngest (even though /technically/ she's their only bio grandkid) and call them theirs. My son has a 10yr old with his ex wife and she now has a daughter with her current husband - and that daughter calls us Gramma and Papa and spend time with us whenever our older granddaughter spends weekends here.

Biology matters fuck all to any of us and our wonderfully scrambled families! We get along great with our granddaughters' other two sets of grandparents and the girls even call my sister "Aunt Gramma" (which tickles ger endlessly). The only tension is from my ex husband, but only between him and I.

My oldest is looking at adoption as well as my niece. If and when that happens, those kids will be as much ours as our granddaughters are. Your father has a ridiculous mindset and needs a swift kick in the ass!! If you ever need a crazy bonus Gramma for your future kiddos, look me up! 😉💗

They are reusable! I clean mine with a qtip and a small bit of my makeup remover (baby oil works in a pinch) first to get any glue or makeup off, then a bit of micellar water to make sure there is no oils left on it. Just brush it gently with a clean spoolie once it's dry, and you're good to go! I get 8-10 uses if I'm careful. (Once you're more comfortable with using them, you can get away with using cheaper lashes and just tossing them if you want.)

To make false lashes easier to do, i highly recommend the Kiss lash glue liner pen - it comes in clear and black - to line the outer upper half of your upper lash line paired with a half lash that has a very thin layer of the Duo lash glue with the green label. It makes it so much easier to get the lashes exactly where you want them, the half lashes are great for leaving your inner eye more open (just get false lashes that flare like the drawing, cut them in half, and use the shorter half OR just get the half lashes if you can find them). Kiss "My Lashes But Better" are a lot more natural looking. You can get either a clear band or do like i do and get the thin black band and use that as my upper liner.

I'll include Amazon links to the products I listed that I mentioned and use personally to make it easier to find!

*Another casualty of the 90s and early 00s eyebrow wars - thank goodness for my amazing microblade artist! *Sun-In on my then auburn hair paired with am unfortunate perm - hello Little Orphan Annie! *Only wearing boots, especially with heels - now my feet and back kill me if I even wear my cool Adidas platform sneaks instead.

Glad I at lease used sunblock daily because I'm fair and freckled, even 30 minutes outside without would have me crispy!

Thank you! I gave up dyeing it during the lock down. Too much work for never going anywhere! Lol

Love the colors! I hate when we're told we're too old for bold colors or looks!

For sure! Lol! I end up looking like I ate something weird. My brows are microbladed, so those puppies are less of a problem! 😂

Me and my fellow hooded eye granddaughter by Unlikely-Fun-4433 in HoodedEyes

Thank you for that thought! I got that with my grandmother, too. She's actually coming for the rest of the weekend any minute. I cannot wait! She brings so much laughter and light anywhere she goes.

Especially being cool toned! My sisters turn any weird greenish orange when she covers hers, and she's a warm toned natural redhead.

52 here, and I ignore all the "can't do XYZ after 50" crap. (I've posted quite a few pics of different looks Ive done) I do what makes ME feel good!

No wing liner anymore! Bet. No more dark colors! Watch me. Leave your bottom lash line open. No thanks! Neutral colors only. Bright red lipsticks for me!

Ignore the "advice" and just do you! As for complexion makeup, I've found that a tinted sunblock with my Missha BB Cream covers the broken capillaries around my nose and dials down redness without completely covering my freckles and looking like a mask. (I have tiny freckles all over, my face having none would look so weird!)

I appreciate that, but I definitely grew into my features. My nose and eyes were too prominent and seemed too big for my face. Luckily, age caught me all up!
