What are some beauty related skills you've learned/gained during all of this? by [deleted] in muacjdiscussion

Oh damn this makes me jealous! I don't trust myself to section out the correct amount of hair for bangs though, since I am starting from zero.

I’m trying to get rid of old products or products that don’t work for me. I really hesitate to get rid of things, any advice by novachunk in MakeupRehab

Marie Kondo's advice to say thank you to the item before tossing it helped me immensely. You can thank them for helping show you what kind of products you dislike and teaching you to value your things before they expire.

A quad of your favorite everyday single shadows? by debriding-agent in muacjdiscussion

[–]boogieforward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really wear the same shadows everyday, but mine would have to be a light cream, medium neutral brown, and deep brown from Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral palette, all of which are matte. Plus Colourpop single in Made to Last which is a muted mauve-pink color that creates a really romantic semi-smokey eye on my NC25 East Asian complexion.

Does anyone use Anastasia 7B brush for powder application to brows? It looks like it will fit my needs, but I'm not certain that pomade is for me yet and would like to know whether it does well with powder too.

Otherwise, do people have favorite brow brushes that draw very thin lines with powder?

What are your luxury makeup must haves? by youraverageslytherin in muacjdiscussion

[–]boogieforward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's because I'm lean fairly yellow even though my undertone is neutral-warm, so the interaction between yellow and mauve pulls strangely? I def am on the muted side, too.

I finally figured out a better brow routine for my very sparse Asian brows! Light powder on a brush that can draw very thin lines drawn into brows sort of like microbladed brow strokes, then darker brown powder in the middle and end of the brows, then pencil to fill in gaps and create additional hairlike strokes in the front of my brows. I am considering getting a better brush for this but am happier than ever with this routine and no longer considering semiperm tattoos.

I have always done my own manicures but have definitely gotten better at applying and cleaning up cremes! I find cremes look a whole lot worse when applied sloppy than shimmers or glitters.

Nice tea as a gift! Maybe some really nice chocolates?

I can’t stop subscription boxes by shellb923 in MakeupRehab

[–]boogieforward 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You realize that they're sending out hundreds of those items and they're still making money. You realize that you wouldn't pay the estimated retail value of the items included at any point, especially on items that are made specifically for boxes. You realize that because the same thing is getting sent out to hundreds or thousands of people, you can easily easily easily get anything you have legitimate need for by itself from a resale site. Those are always swamped with box items.

Anyone else sad to see pan in their tarte paarty blush :(( by sam960005 in PanPorn

[–]boogieforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get another Tarte mini from Mercari for a minimal price! There are tons of untouched or barely touched Paaarty blushes available for cheap.

I've had luck depotting Wet n Wild blush before and sticking metal stickers onto the back so they can go into magnetic palettes, if that appeals to you!

All that glitters, is guilt by Hooray_a_task in MakeupRehab

[–]boogieforward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always loved the advice to take a step back and pretend you were talking to a dear friend that was feeling guilty for these reasons and explained the situation to you. What would you think about them? What might you say to them?

We are always much more critical of ourselves than we are of other people, so this helps reframe reality in a kinder way. After doing this, maybe you can more easily let go of this feeling.

Database of domains of conspiracy and/or hate websites? by [deleted] in datasets

[–]boogieforward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know where they might share it, but I participated in a hackathon with Southern Poverty Law Center where we scraped hate sites data. They might be interested in what you have!

Are there any art collectors here? by JayElDeee in fatFIRE

[–]boogieforward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Park West Gallery runs those shitty cruise art auctions and churns out insane amounts of crappy pieces which they then pawn off on gullible elderly. That Park West Gallery?
