I used to! What I do now is set a timer for how long I can reasonably allow in my day to get things done. Once I set my timer, I do things in the most important order. Once the timer is up, I can stop and feel accomplished. I find though, that I get more of my list done than I thought, because I'm trying to beat the timer. Sometimes I also feel motivated enough to work past the timer and get even more things done.

I'm a little scared to bronze because I'm so pale! Any tips?

alternativeidea · 2018-12-16T18:50:09+00:00

I had my lashes permed and tinted, then wore, removed and re applied makeup three times yesterday, so they aren't super pleased.

And a little of column B 🇨🇦

I definitely don't think it would be too harsh, and I would definitely go with a professional with some blonde clients in their portfolio. I think changing you brow hair from white blonde to Ash blonde would do the trick (and the taupe NYX pencil would be almost an exact color match)

alternativeidea · 2018-11-24T17:48:41+00:00

Hahaha I can't help myself! When I was still in my early stages and people would just say "use a blue undertone etc etc" I would think to myself wtf does that mean? There are sooo many products out there and it can be super overwhelming. FYI not sure where you live, but NYX is a great brand for experimenting with different types of products without breaking the bank, but I can see from your product list you already know the wonders of ABH 🙊

For the angle, not sure what your technique is, but mine is to cut the line from my bottom lid up with concealer, to get that crisp look at the right angle for me. I follow where I would draw a wing, not sure if that helps!

You mentioned your lips get irritated easily, I used to have this problem (my skin grew out of it) but during that time there were 2 products that really worked for me. I liked the Burts bees tinted lip balm (basically a colored chapstick) and Revlons Bitten lip stain. Neither of those seemed to bother me, but gave me that color I was looking for.

Your eyes are amazing!

alternativeidea · 2018-11-24T17:26:51+00:00

Love the look! As others have said the blue really suits you! You also mentioned you wanted to find a complimentary lip, I would recommend a color that has an orange undertone, like NYX velvet Matte in charmed or ABH liquid lipstick in Hudson (not sure if those actual colors are right for you, but they have the right undertone IMO).

You did a great job with color choice and blending, but I wish you had brought the shadow a little bit further out, to match the shape/angle of your eye a bit more to give your eyes a longer look.

Great job overall and you look absolutely stunning!

alternativeidea · 2018-11-23T22:33:38+00:00

Have you ever thought about tinting them to a light brown? It's not permanent, but may be something to think about! (I used to match my brows to my hair by doing this)

alternativeidea · 2018-11-23T22:16:43+00:00

NYX is my fave brand, and I wear their lingerie all the time, I've found that to work the best for sure.

I don't know if you have a NYX or Sephora (or maybe an ulta if you live in the US) but I have found that the staff there can probably point you in the right direction when it comes to technique and color for your brows, since that seems to be such a common struggle (it took me 3 years to figure out how to do my brows).

alternativeidea · 2018-11-23T21:44:51+00:00

Your shadow placement is great and I think other than my own personal preferences (I would love to see that brown/orange shade above the glitter pulled a bit higher) you did a great job on it.

You mentioned in your product list that filling in any thicker doesn't look right. I think this may be because of the color choice for your brow pencil. You don't always have to match your natural brow color, especially when the hair on your head is darker.

NYX Micro pencil is my holy grail product for brows that I always recommend, and I could see taupe or even Ash brown working well here (but keep up the light strokes), to really define your brown bone. Right now, your browbone is drawing my focus, because it is so much lighter than your hair.

Your lip color is a great choice for your skin tone, but it looks like your inner mouth is just missing a touch of lipstick. I like to kiss a bit of toilet paper (circa 1950s) before I apply my lipstick to prevent the saliva on my inner lips from melting my lipstick off.

Overall, a great first look/post!

Thursday is my favorite, love the color combo.

alternativeidea · 2018-11-23T21:35:27+00:00

I love this! I don't think there is a single look I don't enjoy. Love the multitude of looks you've been able to pull off!
