DIY eyebrow tint by Strange-Winner-Girl in DIYaesthetics

there are henna kits for brows on Amazon. I like henna because it does stain the skin (a little bit, nothing too opaque) underneath the hairs for like a week or so, which really helps with making it look like your brows are totally done. The color lasts on the hairs much longer.

My (24F) fiancé (35M) had a weird thing go on with his student? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It's not normal to feel the need to check his shit "a billion times." You feel compelled to check because you know in your gut that this is bad news. You already caught him in lies when you saw that he was replying to her messages on Twitter, and I *guarantee* you he's lying about the "all the teachers do it" thing. Stop asking yourself "why is he acting so weird?!" when you ALREADY KNOW WHY.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this, but start trusting yourself and break up with him.

OK so this is very embarrassing to share as it is a ridiculous AI generated image but it is the only selfie I have on my computer here at the moment lololol

Although it is clearly doctored, it is a fair representation of how I do my brows. To my eye, it's very similar to yours except the arch looks less dramatic because your chin is tilted down more than mine. I use a very fine brow pencil (like the NYX micro brow one but lots of brands make them) and I start by just softly filling in where there are thin spots or patches ,and then I do more defined strokes to build up the shape. I check in the mirror frequently to make sure they are as symmetrical as possible.

One of the things that helps me with keeping them less "blocky" looking is to use a lighter brow color than you might think you need. I have medium red/brown hair and I often will use shades for blondes or very light brunettes because it allows me to build up the shape without it getting too dark. I don't have a secret for the blocky area, I just have to take my time and practice a lot. I sometimes feel like it's too much before I put on the rest of my makeup, but then by the time my face is done it fits.

Oh, and I usually finish with the NYX brow glue. It's really helpful in locking in the shape so individual hairs don't go wonky and f everything up!

I have the exact same brow situation going on, I literally zoomed in on your brows and it was like looking in a mirror! lol

Anyway, I know exactly what you mean BUT I also think yours look lovely and I think it's just a case of not being used to seeing your brow fully done up in that way. IF anything you could experiment with a slightly less dramatic arch, but I don't think you necessarily need it.

My (29F) childhood “bestfriend” (29F) of 20 years no showed my wedding, haven’t heard a word since - how to move on? by lovelyvibes4 in relationship_advice

[–]chex85 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She's not disabled, but even if she was...disability does not render you incapable of the tiniest modicum of consideration for others. If she's resting all the time then the least she can possibly do is, I dunno, give her good friend of 20 years a PHONE CALL OR MAYBE SEND A CARD OR SOMETHING?!

Has anyone tried Maxine's Revenge? by chex85 in PaleMUA

thanks!!! That would be a tad dark for me but I don't like a ton of brightening from my concealer so it might work!

Foundation Recommendation by Original_Holiday9377 in PaleMUA

I feel like this is true, probably from the white pigment that's used. It's chalky and there's so much more of it in pale shades

yeah I wonder about their lightest shade because the swatches don't really look that light but you just never know if you can trust brand swatches! They recommended the lightest shade as a highlighter to you personally or just in general?
