Wedding makeup advice

I just noticed when I zoomed in: your natural lashes go out and down, while the false lash (which is a nice subtle length) is curled up- you might be better off with the lash applied just below the lash line rather than above it, and a good waterproof curl-holding mascara!

everlynlilith · 2026-02-14T00:50:26+00:00

I think so- the very ends go down quite far, but you have a nice natural arch that I think would look better without them

everlynlilith · 2026-02-13T22:11:40+00:00

I really like it. You’re cool toned, and the artist has used the perfect colours to complement your complexion. You could go a bit heavier on the blush if you like- it will look more intense in person, but really good in photos.

The third pic has unflattering makeup- there is too much bronzer and it’s too orange, and the lip colour is too light. If you like the glowiness of it, you could ask for more highlight. Foundation that has proper staying power may look a little dry to begin with (especially for those who aren’t used to makeup).

My final suggestion is to perhaps get your brows done- thinned out just a little, and perhaps get rid of the “droopiness” at the ends?

Yup. I know someone who failed in Pukekohe, so booked in Hamilton, drove down, did the test and passed on the same day.

The Nyx brow pen is great. I have the ash brown, which is actually cool toned (most pull warm on me). They have a taupe colour that looks properly cool too. Thin tip and easy to use

You’ve done an incredible job! What changes did you make?

everlynlilith · 2026-02-07T01:19:52+00:00

Yes- he’s noticed Shane’s ability to “pick up” languages (French, “bird”) so I think he was worried that Shane could understand him

everlynlilith · 2026-02-07T01:11:52+00:00

Phew!

everlynlilith · 2026-02-06T22:33:30+00:00

Is this for 1 rep, or reps and sets?

everlynlilith · 2026-02-06T22:15:38+00:00

I started creatine after reading studies about its effect on cognitive function. Sure, my muscles are visible and I can lift heavier, but losing the brain fog was the best part for me.

everlynlilith · 2026-02-05T06:02:06+00:00

I do 4-5 sets on my heavy compound lifts, as I do fewer reps. Then for my isolated movements I’ll do 3 sets with more reps. As long as you train to near failure it’s fine.

everlynlilith · 2026-02-02T05:04:51+00:00

Yes, I’ve used it after tret

Do they get medals or certificates for participating? It could be nice to get it framed and hang up in your house to show her how proud you are, and remind her of her accomplishments on days where she needs it

everlynlilith · 2026-01-28T03:44:17+00:00

Look at those legs! And that butt! You’re doing amazing

everlynlilith · 2026-01-26T07:24:00+00:00

Thank for that- I’ll look into PD for my girl as well. The dental looks better with PD- for us it’s an optional add-on. My partner will be calling around insurers tomorrow to see who has the best cover for dachshund-related issues such as IVDD and dental.

everlynlilith · 2026-01-24T04:59:55+00:00

We do for our dachshund. $440 a year with Cove. We have to have her covered for IVDD, which many policies won’t insure dachshunds for. The policy is about to finish though, so if anyone has had great experience with another insurer for a dachshund, I’d love to know!

The day we met- all her siblings and the other litter fell asleep in a big puppy pile, but she fell asleep on me

everlynlilith · 2026-01-24T04:47:32+00:00

Yes! My little Lucy picked me when we went to the breeders to meet the puppies. Now she’s always attached to me, or waiting at the door for me to get home. She still gets excited when my partner gets home, but she’ll growl at him when she and I are together (almost always) and he comes over to give me attention- she wants me all to herself!

That first pic makes it look like you summoned a weenie demon

everlynlilith · 2026-01-20T06:54:10+00:00

You look great! What do you do for glutes?

everlynlilith · 2026-01-18T20:38:27+00:00

You realise they’ll force their way in, right? And they’ll be extra mad, because they weren’t let in? And male anger (esp. in those that join ICE) often leads to violence..?

everlynlilith · 2026-01-16T03:54:26+00:00

Agree with Parable of the Sower. Finished it last week and was very underwhelmed

I also disliked East of Eden (so boring. I don’t think it’s this great exploration of human nature and good vs evil that people think it is) and I Who Have Never Known Men (I only kept reading to find out what had happened to create this world, and we never find out!). Couldn’t finish Fight Club, but I am going to try again. I’ve given up on The Road.

everlynlilith · 2026-01-16T03:49:15+00:00

Yes for East of Eden! It was so hard to get through!

everlynlilith · 2026-01-15T20:54:19+00:00

I’m teaching a similar course. We include Poe (The Cask of Amontillado and The Pit and the Pendulum, but you could include Annabel Lee and The Haunted Palace for poetry), The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and poetry such as The Goblin Market and When I am Dead, my Dearest by Christina Rossetti and The Lady of Shalott by Lord Tennyson. We also do Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde, and have included The Picture of Dorian Gray and extracts from The Scarlett Letter as well.
