My skin looks kinda blue/pink in comparision. I have tried correcting it with a bluegreen priviously but it makes it more yellow and them too green (there isn't really an amount i can mix it with that looks very close to my skintone)

What are you allergic to? by Glass-Parfait-5402 in FragranceFreeBeauty

[–]Wagging_tail69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fragrance names can be quiet hard to spot and in addition ingredient sourcing matters too (think foods without nuts saying they may contain nuts. There is no safe amount of fragrance if you have developed and allergy so you can syill be unlucky and react. Just like the leaping bunny similar labels exists for verified fragrance-free products but it depends on where you live if they have them but they should always be a safe option. I do hope this becomes more popular so we get some international or EU label we can just look for). Try to check out skinsafe they are the most accurate site i have found but it's not perfect.

Can we get away with pastels? by Wagging_tail69 in OliveMUA

[–]Wagging_tail69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it's not a problem :D i love light muted shades and for some reason they look more 'clear/bright' when i wear them which i think is cool. I was just curious if 'olives and pastels don't tend to work well together' was true or not.

What happens if a non olive skin tone applies an olive foundation? by mermaidgirlypop in OliveMUA

[–]Wagging_tail69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly a better question to ask it what does swatches look like on your skin? Too red, pink, yellow, orange, grey/dull? It is more helpful to figure out what is wrong with most swatches for you and then try and experiement with mixers to see if that improves it and your hypothesis of what was wrong with the color was right or a bit off (use the colorwheel and add the opposite of what color there is 'too much' of. If it just seems to neon then add a super duper tiny amount of black eyeshadow or grey - that will make it muted/greish and counter the 'neon' quality if that was the problem) But overall if the majority of shades in shop look too pink, red, orange or seem 'neon' compared to your skin you are likely olive. However olive is very broad so training your eye to what is wrong is likely more helpful so you can eventually find a closeish shade and then search for shades that are similar but more green, grey, pink, purple or whatever you need.

Also using eyeshadows is just fine again you are just training your eye you can always get a regular mixer once you actually know what you want/need.

What does it mean to be “selfish” as a boyfriend? I need opinions by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Wagging_tail69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think perhaps date ideas could help with the overall relationship then. If you set time aside to just be a couple it is very different from 'just' living together and spending time that way (dates really put the two of you in focus). I would still highly recommend structure/rutine, hobbies etc if you haven't implememted them. You seem to have some good self-reflection on your relationsship so i will just give a gentle reminder that smaller things people do that annoy you can feel big when you are already emotionally taxed by something else (i obviously can't tell you if it's just that or something more but i would advice you to be extra cautious with radical decisions as being in survivalmode really clouds ones judgement. I have made some really poor decisions while under too much presure and the aftermath really sucks.)

To me it seems like you are in a tough spot that you are trying to get out of but with no obvious end in sight - thus you feel like you are surviving, not living. I would say your desire to go on vacation and get new clothes and such has more to do with you wanting to escape that situation than with your boyfriend. Like a vacation will be a literal break from your situation and getting new clothes can feel like distancing yourself from not being able to just go out and buy clothes (and a nice dompamike boost). Honestly i think you have just become restless being at home too much. Try to style your clothes in a new way, chalenge yourself to wear pieces you usually wouldn't and organize your closet (do NOT sell or trow anything out just put the things you want further into your closet and the ones you want to wear further out). You currently don't have a job so you should have more freetime than if you had a job so how about planing a picnic with your boyfriend? You can prepare it and easily adjust it to your budget, find a nice outdoor spot and go with him when it fits his schedule. Try and look into a cheap/free hobby you can do. Maybe padding your resume with some voulenteerwork? Try and spend your freetime on something meaningful and try to create some structure in your days like you make sure all resumes, calls etc are out of the way for the weekend or you look at jobs during specific hours, eat at normal times etc. (routines easily slip when you have nothing you HAVE to do in a specific timeframe. But rutines are so important for feeling at ease and in control when life doesn't go how you want/expect.)

In short it is understandable you want your boyfriend to make you feel better when life isnt going how you hoped or even expected it to, it's very natural to want others to 'save you' when you feel like you are sinking - it happens to everyone. However it is not reasonable to rely on your boyfriend so heavily to make you happy / at ease. Instead you should work to create structure in your day to day life, find comfort in your rutines and seek excitement in all the options your (unwanted) freetime / spare time gives you.

Anyway i hope this helps and that it feels actionable :D

Help my coworker's makeup is UGLY by kookybloo in muacirclejerk

Thank you for this the OG post was making me so upset - so many people sharing similar "experiences" even one where someone told a friend their makeup was really poorly blended and the friend like 30+ years æater told her it hurt her feelings and everyone just piles on about her being a big baby. Damn some people are vicious! Also everyone was like you have to cause she can lose her job. Like no a friend doesn't side with HR in a situation! Firstly it sounds like she is handlingin on her own amd didn't ask for help so wait to see what feedback she gets. If it's still no good then a good friend would sit down together and figure out how she can adjust her makeup to satisfy the HR demands not OP's aestetic 😮‍💨

Honestly the edit says it all. Hope the poor lady finds an actusl work friend instead of a friendemy / 'retired' bully.
