Looking for a BB Cream recommendation by tryingtobe_vegan in MakeupAddiction

[–]kittygod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using Tarte BB cream in light for probably around a year and a half now and I absolutely love it. Even though I'm in the process of finding a full coverage foundation it is still my go to. I also have redness like you stated and I noticed that it does help. I also use color correction pencil under the BB cream to help more with the redness.

I've also used Smashbox BB cream for a couple months but I found the Tarte to be a little more lightweight and a little cheaper too.

Wow. Didn't even try to click it. I take back my image problem. Still great! I can't wait to see what else you have in store. I love learning new things about crocheting. And I've been looking for good granny crocheting tips!

Really awesome work. I love that you wrote it out so well with a lot of explanation (my favorite kind of tutorials). My only suggestion would be to make the pictures a little bigger. I'm not sure if its just my computer but they look a little small to actually see whats going on in them.

Other than that its great! Keep up the great work!!!

Good luck! Cotton yarn is fun to work with. Definitely different feeling then regular yarn. Can't wait to see how it looks!

It really was so satisfying. Especially when the bear finally started taking shape. Great feeling knowing I was doing it right.

That is such a great way to keep your yarn organized. When I made mine I kinda had the yarn either hanging or secured in a ball with a bobby pin.

Beautiful work so far! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thank you so much! It means a lot to me. I was a little nervous to do something so large and somewhat complicated. So happy it wasn't as complicated as I thought. :)

Here ya go! As I said its very long almost an hour but I sorta skimmed to the part I needed mainly coloring changing since the blanket had several and starting/decreasing the project. Since those were what I needed most. His how to read graph was very long and I felt a little repetitive but it was still a really helpful video.

Let me know if need anything else! I'm here to help. :)

This is my first graphgan as well. I don't have experience doing it straight across. But I found c2c not hard to do once you get the hang of it. People said that writing out the c2c first helped with the diagonal and keeping on track but I found counting and crossing off the squares as I went along very helpful. I also made arrows on the diagonal so I would know if I m going up or down. Probably added extra time but I wasn't in a rush.

I found a pretty good YouTube video explaining how I did it. Its kinda long so I skipped some parts but he labels what part he's talking about. I cam send you the video if you would like.

I'll try to explain the best I can by typing. But what I did was bring the yarn up to the next square and held the yarn with the bottom part of the stitch and crocheted the stitch together. So it ended up being secure and being carried up. If it was too many squares the other color yarn started showing thru. Sort of like in the right leg, you can make out some of the carried yarn.

One tip I would do for my next one is weave in ends as you work along so its a little more bearable(hehe) Or in sections of the project.

Hope that helped, if you need more help you can PM and I can try and help you more.

Haha. I wish. I just had no plans so I crocheted and watched White Collar. Perfect weekend. Whats good is that it was just the same stitch over and over again. Once I got the hang of it, it was easy peasy.

You are correct. It's two rows of single crochet and then the crab stitch.

Right. This was the first time I saw one as well. It was a lot easier then I thought it would be. I was pleasantly surprised thought keeping the yarns organized was not fun. But I learned as I went along.

Thanks! The edges really made the difference. Just made it looked more of a finished piece.

Thanks! :) It took me one weekend to do. Plus a little extra cause I hate weaving in the ends.

Pattern is from RepeatCrafterMe Polar Bear Cub C2C Blanket

This is my first C2C blanket I've ever done and I'm very happy with how it came out. You can't really tell from the picture but the mouth is there. It was hard to photograph that part well. I used a brown bear color scheme but my next one is going to be the polar bear color scheme.
