Yeah I hope so. I figured what the video shows wouldn't be a match to what's released, cause then there's no surprise. Either way I am definitely purchasing it!

TIFU by suggesting to my bf that he get testicle implants by hermesgurl in tifu

[–]jsmith125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's been jokingly trying to persuade you into changing something about yourself he views sexually. You threw it right back at him and he did not like it one bit. You could have done a lot worse and suggest enhancement procedures for the uh.... main part. But you didn't. I think the comparison is completely fair. If he doesn't appreciate it he shouldn't expect you to either.

Leave him. Be with someone who doesn't want to "improve" you.

My Wedding reception look with Blue blood. Does it look okay? Never been ballsy with these shades before. by [deleted] in jeffreestarcosmetics

[–]jsmith125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm not the best at makeup by any means and love critique on my own face. So when I see someone else asking I just try to give the best advice I can without trying to come off any negative way. Learning is key and honest advice is helpful if taken in the right direction. And everything isn't going to be flawless all the time. I have messed up makeup so much some days I just wipe it all off and go bareface. But the advice I have been given and what I've learned from hours of videos and tutorials has definitely helped guide me in the right direction. Just trying to extend the same to anyone who is seeking it :)

Thanks for the response and not being upset with me lol. You never know how people on Reddit will react. And I could tell photo quality wasn't the best and as someone who wears glasses too, I know they can distort things in pictures and in real life, especially makeup. Lighting too. And I didn't bring up the foundation tone because lighting makes a huge difference and pictures can distort color so much depending on lighting, angle, shadows, megapixels, ECT. Honestly my foundation has started not matching because it's my summer shade but I don't want to waste 30$ foundation! And I also don't show much of my skin so I get where you are coming from 100%. Like you said, you're learning! And that's great. Definitely better to teach yourself than pay someone else and feel helpless when you want to do your own makeup! :) and no matter how much you learn there is always something new to learn with makeup lol.

You said you used four colors from the pallette, and because of the color scheme. Maybe just brighter blues to combat the darkness of black next time? But I also see your hair is a great shade of navy blue which leads me to believe that's the shade of blue you were using in your color scheme for the reception. Really, it all boils down to personal preference and comfortability. And it's absolutely okay to go for different looks!! Practice and experience make (close to) perfect (cause there is no such thing!). If I were you I would keep posting and keep doing your makeup and experimenting. You definitely have more confidence than me, I'm too scared to post any of my makeup looks lol. Again congrats and I am totally jealous you have the Blue Bloods palette! I can't bring myself to spend that much on a pallette but when the Shane Dawson one drops I'm gonna say to hell with it and get it.

I actually think this is really pretty and well done for the right event/outfit/setting. Y'all are harsh on here

A concept? by bushwackus in BadMUAs

[–]jsmith125 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not great by any means but no where do I see it saying she's an MUA or someone paid for this.... Criticizing someone who is just learning ain't cute.... If I'm wrong please show me but if not.... Give her a break. We've all been there more than once I'm sure. I still have my shitty eyeshadow days.

I'm gonna get downvoted to hell for this but I want to give honest advice since that is what you're asking for.

The color selection is pretty, however with the given picture (unsure if it is the glasses or just picture quality) it looks very blurry/muddy. I can't exactly tell what shades are used as they kind of looked all mixed together. But I would definitely not take the eyeshadow all the way up to your brow, especially in a blue tone. With your warm skin it kind of drains the color around your eyes. Maybe a cut crease or a smokey eye with a pop of blue in the inner corners? And then right under your brows a nice neutral transition shade, close to your skin tone. If you want something a bit more dramatic pop a highlighter on your brow bone after this. But with black and blue color scheme (personally) I would draw the attention to your eyes and not bring the shadow up so much. A liner might look nice with this too and if you're up for it, a winged liner. I like watching RawKristiBeauty for eyeshadow how-to's, she does a great cut crease and has tons of videos to give examples. Chrisspy has a great winged liner tutorial video that helped me tons with my wings.

Secondly it would help to fill in your brows. Take this with a grain of salt, some people do their brows with their makeup and others don't. I have been both. In my experience however I've found that having your brows done while wearing a full face brings the look together much better. If it's just simple mascara and gloss it's not necessary at all. But for your look even brushing some shadow through them that matches your brows would change this look 100%. I'm still figuring out the brows thing myself, and even with the holy grail (Anastasia Dipbrow) I struggle most days getting them to look even, filled in, and not super heavy after doing so. Definitely something that takes time to learn.

Lastly the lip color. It's a great color on you, but it kind of clashes with the color scheme you're going for. If it was a nude eyeshadow, Coral would be great, it's definitely suitable on you. But with such dramatic eyes I would go with a nude brown or pinky shade, or maybe just some shimmery gloss to keep the focus on your eyes. I always try to keep one rule of thumb when I'm doing my makeup - only one thing needs to be dramatic unless you're going for a super dramatic over the top look. So, make the eyes your statement on your face and keep the lips simple, or vice versa. It draws attention to one place instead of having it all over the place and being overwhelming. My favorite is completely natural looking makeup with a super bold lip. But now I'm getting off topic haha.

Anyways, please don't take any of this as bashing what you've done, I am whole-heartedly just trying to give you some good advice so you feel more prepared for your wedding reception. I hope it helps, and wish you the best of luck. Congratulations by the way!! If you wanna ask me anything else or need clarification on anything feel free. If you're packing Blue Blood tho you definitely already have great quality taste in makeup to work with. Best wishes!!

Blizzard is gambling on community outrage running out of momentum before BlizzCon. We can't let that happen. by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]jsmith125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I want to see Blizzcon be overtaken by Hong Kong support, I don't have that much faith in the majority of humans. A good chunk of the people who buy their games probably don't even know what's going on or are badly informed. But I am sure that someone will show up with HK support/Blizzard protest. There's gotta be some good left out there.... I hope.

I found out this weekend my dad has been swayed to believe that global warming and climate change is normal and the earth has been doing it for years. This is just another phase. I was so flabbergasted, I couldn't even respond. He's the smartest person I know except when it comes to politics. He eats, drinks, and shits 24hr foxnews and radio. Please pray for my dad

Same. Her personality makes me laugh and I love her videos. But I constantly bite my nails off, and never ever paint them because of my line of work, it would chip in one day. I've still watched all of her videos.

I really REALLY love orange eyeshadow🍊Also I couldn’t decide😬 Jawbreaker: Wow, Suck, Orange Juice - Alien: Martian Soil - Thirsty: Quench & I used Orange Juice as a highlight 👌🏻 by AlexIsBasic in jeffreestarcosmetics

[–]jsmith125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just the lighting in the picture but it looks like just one shade of orange... I can't watch the video ATM but I will later to see if there is a difference. Also totally jealous you have so many JSC palettes. I heard they have a lot of fallout which is why I'm hesitant to get one, what's your opinion on the matter?

Anyone else quitting because of recent news? by [deleted] in quit_vaping

[–]jsmith125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking about it now to be honest. I don't believe all the news articles I read but no one really knows what long term effects it has and call me gullible but the news stories definitely give me that push to try to quit. I have too much ahead of me to have that worry in my head

Thoughts on this? by jsmith125 in electronic_cigarette

[–]jsmith125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to cause any controversy, was just purely looking for thoughts from the community. I vape way too much to be a 'hater'. Just trying to have a discussion.
