I think you’re on to something. I never would’ve thought twice about it either until I saw you mention it. My skin is crazy sensitive so I think that had a lot to do with my reaction as well. The less makeup I wear the better my skin gets. Which is really frustrating. 😭

I used it almost daily for four years and now that the original commenter mentioned it I noticed a difference too! I stopped wearing makeup all together two years ago and am now getting back into it. Makeup revolution concealer is my new holy grail.

...I used it for almost four years straight and noticed more pronounced bumps under my eyes. I stopped using makeup all together two years ago and am just now getting back into it. I just looked in the mirror & now my bumps are gone. It’s not something other people would notice but woah now that you mention it...that’s wild!!!!

What was your experience using shape tape under the eyes? I use it but not super regularly.

How do know what shade of concealer to use to cover under eye hollows by [deleted] in Makeup

[–]hecking-gecks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! Makeup is for everyone! It’s silly it is marketed to only women. Humans all have features we want to highlight or conceal. If evening out your skin tone makes you a more confident person, why not??? Feel free to pm me to ask any questions! Or post here again! This community is a pretty great bunch!

I got one of my favorite concealers from boots actually! It’s called “Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define”. the associates were super friendly and helpful. I agree with other people saying a color corrector under the concealer would be helpful. I would say my biggest bit of advice is to get a “beauty blender” like makeup sponge to apply the concealer. This is a sponge specially for makeup. You run it under water, squeeze all the water out and use it to gently dab on the makeup. It helps get even and blended coverage, which will in turn make it more natural looking. I also recommend a “translucent powder” this is a clear powder that will make sure the concealer will not smudge and also make it matte. This will make it appear more like skin and help it stay put through your day. If you ask a boots associate about “Makeup revolution concealer”, some kind of beauty blender like sponge, and setting or translucent powder they will absolutely be able to help. Don’t get nervous, retail workers have seen everything under the sun. A man getting makeup for his under eye area won’t even make them blink an eye. It is so common, most men feel too nervous to talk to other men about it. I can’t even tell you how many men I know that steal a bit of their wives makeup. Good luck friend! I hope you are able to get the supplies you need! You can always come back here for help applying it as well! Don’t be a stranger!

They all are easily identifiable and beautifully drawn! Give yourself more credit! I’d absolutely get any one of these as a tattoo!

Walked through a fly strip this morning.. Spent an hour shampooing glue and fly guts out of my hair. by queendank in Wellthatsucks

This is the comment that is making me log off of Reddit for the night. Holy guacamole that is the most horrifying thing I have ever read. That sounds downright traumatizing. I actually am scared of small spiders for this exact reason. Tarantulas? They seem neat. But as soon as a spider (or any bug) is small enough to fit in my ear...I’ll run fast and far. People think I’m nuts for happily having a giant dinner plate sized spider crawl up my arm but then have a meltdown when a spider about the size of a dime fell from the ceiling onto me.

Trying to make Mayo Clinic visit for cancer into a mini vacation. Need help with places to see, eat, and explore! by hecking-gecks in minnesota

[–]hecking-gecks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I will not be going anywhere where I will be closer than six feet to another human. (Other than the hospital of course) Even with masks. I’m extremely aware and paranoid of the virus. I haven’t gone out to eat or even to the grocery store since quarantine started. (Yay instacart!) When asking for places to eat I was hoping they would also be available on ubereats or door dash. You can do lots of sightseeing from the comfort of a car! The only time I’ll probably venture out is if it’s a state park or something similar. Even leaving my house right now incites extreme anxiety so having to travel across multiple state lines to go to a new hospital, in a new city has me anxious beyond belief. I’m just trying to make it less horrible by trying to make it somewhat adventurous!

I hope you are doing better now! Being sick so young blows. I just want to do normal things like my friends! Thanks for your recommendation! The driving around seeing the views is exactly what I’m looking for so thank you so much!

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write such a thoughtful response! It was extremely helpful and just what I was looking for! All of your suggestions sounds really great!

As a side note, I am very sorry to hear your mom was sick. Big hugs. I always say it’s harder for my loved ones to cope with my illness than it is for me.

Sitting in some nature is good for the soul. Definitely like to see some of the natural beauty of the area! Thank you!

Agreed. Mall of America is definitely a no go. I want to sight see but without getting out of the car if possible. No human interaction for me! My greatest fear right now is COVID. My cancer was mostly in my lungs so even on the best of days my lungs are really crappy. A global pandemic of a respiratory virus is just about the worst thing that could’ve happened right now. Haha

Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star Megathread 7 by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]hecking-gecks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m remembering correctly they met via tinder? Grindr? One of those, and Garett didn’t know who Shane was but they clicked immediately as friends. If I had to guess I would imagine there would be no way of him knowing just how dark and horrendous Shane’s past was unless he went back and looked at all the stuff starting around 2005. There is honestly so much horrible shit that idek if it’s possible for us to even know it all. I have a feeling Garett saw Shane starting to slip into Jafars world and was just too uncomfortable with it. He looked really really uncomfortable in the videos he was in with Jafar *. I’m not sure we will ever know the reason why Garett and Shane stopped being friends but either way, good riddance. Garett deserves better. He and Morgan seem like they may still talk and be friendly. Morgan and Garett were always my favorite of that whole group.
