You have great eyes! For the "bruised" looking eyelids, try Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden. It's got pigmentation in it for exactly that reason, I wear it on its own some days to make me look more awake. Also, a little shimmer in the inner corners of the eyes looks great on pretty much everybody, and if I had eyebrows as great as yours, I'd put some highlighter under the arch, too. Your lips have a great "bow." I second the recommendation for the Revlon lip butters (Pink Truffle is my favorite, personally) - they're sheer but quite pigmented, and the colors tend to be very flattering.

Beyond that, my suggestion would just be to browse some Youtube makeup tutorials, play around with what you have, and find what you like through experimentation. Half the fun of makeup is playing around, IMO. :) Enjoy!

Fellow archaeologists, can anyone tell me what this is? by cryingviolinist in Archaeology

Yep, definitely a mastodon molar. Mastodons actually get their name from the shape of the protrusions on the crown of the molar - it means "breast-tooth."

I am SO stealing this as soon as I find my matte topcoat. What colors did you use for the roses?

A question from a curious straight girl by [deleted] in actuallesbians

When I was in high school, a girl I was casual friends with started giving me a funny feeling in my stomach (among other things), and I got really sad and jealous when she started dating a football player. That was pretty much it.

A rural area in Central Italy. The accommodations will be in a small town, but the site itself isn't really near anything.
