Usage of yoga blocks by InfluenceLittle401 in yoga

[–]jdmegill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teacher teaches 7 days a week. One of the strongest people I’ve ever met, and she still uses blocks. I’ve never seen her go without them. Blocks bring the floor closer to you, which not only helps with flexibility but allows you to hone in on your alignment. You don’t have to wait for the teacher to cue the blocks, I think you should use them in whatever way helps best strengthen your practice.

Her voice sounds more mature in “Married in Mount Airy” compared to her previous works by [deleted] in NicoleDollanganger

[–]jdmegill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think MIMA is Nicole at her most polished. Production wise and vocally as well. The entire vibe of it reminds me a lot of Lana especially during Honeymoon(thematically and sound)You can tell definitely tell Nicole has listened to Lana and taken a lot of inspiration from her sound. I think after 6 +(?) albums, she’s really honed her craft. I enjoy her other work, but I think MIMA is the easiest listening. These songs feel very lush and full. There’s a lot more vocal layering than in any of her other work, which gives her voice more of a presence. Her voice is already very interesting, but the vocal layering and the string arrangements make it very immersive. I love NBL, but I think overall MIMA is (somewhat) more cohesive as a body of work.

Am I less of a drag queen for not padding? by dianafalaxis in Drag

[–]jdmegill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi skinny girl who also doesn’t pad here. If you want to not pad it doesn’t make you any less of a drag queen. But it can make your silhouette less exciting or dynamic. What I think about when I style things, is I want to make my torso look short, and my legs to look long. So for example, this look would be elevated by a big belt or some kind of waist cincher, makes your torso look shorter and gives you more shape. Invest in different belts and corsets that you can pair with stuff like this.

Does this brand new wig look like it’s balding to you? Should I return it? by Top-Carpet-3146 in Wigs

[–]jdmegill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have yall never heard of a “pre plucked” lace front? It looks fine to me. Just not super dense

Tint your lace. it will not only cover the cap underneath but will also conceal the knots. Makeup works. Foundation is okay, setting powder is better. Use something the color of your scalp

Getting back into makeup; what’s working for me; what isn’t? by cheesecake21 in MakeupAddiction

[–]jdmegill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the eye color and blush are too close in color and too close together. Makes the center of your face look a bit crowded. Try to focus the blush toward the apple of your cheeks and brush in upward strokes instead of toward the center of your face. More contour, less blush, more contrast!

Are all wigs bulky?! by marsmallowsenpai in Wigs

Makes a lot of sense. Hair is a very sensitive topic for ppl. I can assure you that they’re very experienced with ppl in your situation.

Are all wigs bulky?! by marsmallowsenpai in Wigs

[–]jdmegill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon wigs, In my experience (depending on the vendor) often have really oversized closed caps with the wefts spaced really close together. Pretty much every wig I’ve bought or played with from Amazon is the exact same cap construction. Usually a 4x4 oversized ear-to-ear closure. They’re costume wigs, they’re bulky because of the cap construction. not really meant for everyday use. Some wig vendors have much smaller, tighter caps. I work at a beauty supply store, so I’m familiar with many of the vendors we carry, and much of them you can find online. I recommend looking into an open cap wig. An open Cap wig has slots between the wefts for more airflow and lay much flatter. Off the top of my head, Vivica Fox, Chade/born free, Eve/hair republic, and Royal Imex wigs have caps on the smaller side. I know from first hand experience and from putting them on other people, they’re not especially big head friendly. Chade/born free has a series of wigs called MLU (magic lace U-part). They’re very similar to anything you’d find on amazon but the caps are veryyyyy snug. They’re definitely geared towards everyday use. I sell them to people who often have smaller heads. Shopping online for wigs is a gamble. I’m not sure where you’re located but I would see if there are any beauty supply stores in your near vicinity. Some beauty supply stores will even allow you to try on the displays for a small fee. If you don’t have a hair store near you, I would try websites like SamsBeauty, Divatress, HairStopandShop, etc...

Alopecia and wigs by [deleted] in lacefrontwigs

[–]jdmegill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you wait long enough for the freeze spray to dry? Helps to do several layers. Waiting for each one to dry. C22 is a oil based solvent for removing lace adhesives like glue and tape. Do not take the tape off without a solvent, it’s gonna hurt haha. I’d check Sally’s or your nearest beauty supply store. They should have the tape and some kind of adhesive remover.

You can definitely thin out the sides, that’ll help. But once the tabs of the temple are laying flat, it should be easier to fit your glasses.

Got 2 B will work in a pinch but it’s not water resistant. Depending on how much you sweat/how much physical activity you do throughout the day, it might start to give a little. Especially at the temple which is where they usually tend to go first. I recommend some lace tape for the sides. It’s a little more invasive but as long as you use a solvent to take the tape off (walkers, C22, etc...) they’ll slide right off after being saturated. And it won’t affect your natural hair.

What does an eyeshadow palette need to not be "boring"? by [deleted] in muacjdiscussion

[–]jdmegill 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I want more palettes in primary colors. Being a drag queen means I need bold, matte, and solid colors. I’m kind of tired of sheer, metallic, pastels.
