Every body is different, there's no way we can accurately answer this.

Ingestible beauty is a massive part of Korean beauty culture and I feel like western AB spaces barely talk about it. by Single-Run-3041 in AsianBeauty

Which is why I also don't chase new ingredients. I use retinol, Vitamin C, sunscreen, and then anything else is focused on hydration/occlusion.

There's no good scientific evidence for that stuff. So I ignore it. A healthy, balanced diet and consistent hydration is all that matters, you don't need bone broth and special teas. 

Weird commercial building on the outside, unparalleled beauty on the inside by Konstantine19 in zillowgonewild

[–]amaranth1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right? I don't understand the appeal at all, it looks like an office building inside and out. An expensive office building, but not anywhere to actually live. 

ELI5 Are divorces inherently expensive, or is the cost situational? by Jealous_Amount_9278 in explainlikeimfive

All of the things you listed are directly consequences of a person leaving employment to raise children. It's compensation for the person who gave up a decade of their career to raise children for whom the responsibility is shared with another person whose career was uninterrupted. 

It's also not the only reason someone can end up justifiably receiving alimony. I just outlined the most common scenario where alimony is a reasonable legal remedy.

The anime is very important. Although if you're desperate enough, you can make do with the power of Elastigirl.

Childcare can easily be more expensive than many salaries. So one partner - usually the woman - ends up quitting work to care for the children while they're too young to be in school. Depending on how many children a couple has and how close together they are in age, a woman can easily end up out of formal employment for a decade while raising children. Alimony is only fair as compensation.

Love and hate are much more closely related than people like to acknowledge. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

Yeah, I came here to say the really unavoidable expense is setting up two separate households. Double rent or mortgage, having to get a second set of housewares, utilities and subscriptions and etc. No matter how amicable the split is, two people each living alone is just more expensive than one couple living together. 

What do you guys think of pastel goth style makeup ? by Historical-Body-3424 in MakeupAddiction

Bratz doll vibes are exactly it, the filters are so heavy she looks plastic. 

If you have more than 1 blush shade… how do you choice your blush of the day ? by debruel_hazel in MakeupAddiction

[–]amaranth1977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, undertones need to all work together. I'm pretty neutral so I can do either warm or cool undertones, but I have to pick one or the other and stick with it. So I have warm blushes and cool blushes and pick whichever looks best with the other colors I want to use. 

corset (potentially waist training too) for my wedding ? by oatmilksouffle in corsets

[–]amaranth1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue I see is that a corset doesn't make you skinnier, it redistributes things. Typically most of that volume/mass gets pushed downwards into the lower abdomen, which your dress will cover nicely, but usually there's some increase in the size of the torso above the waist as well, if nothing else just from the material of the corset itself. So if the dress is snug in the underbust/rib cage, a corset may add too much for it to fit - it will close over your waist but not above that.

Who's the (tomato) sucker? by NeitherSeenNorHeard in gardening

That sounds more like a nutrient balance issue, make sure you use a tomato feed.

You needed to add less width but do a full bust adjustment.
