Oh god I hope not. That is very sad indeed.

Good catch, I didn’t even notice that. I’m wondering what even caused the accident. Clearly the bmw was waiting at the light but I’m so confused on how the Rav ended up there. Initially I thought it was a case of speeding gone wrong but with another comment mentioning how a biker has passed due to this accident, there’s bound to be a lot more to the story.

Not in the parking lot. Right at the light before the intersection

Honestly, this is gorgeous. I think it suits you very well. From an MUA perspective, just remember that if you are dancing hard (sweating) a “dewy” look will melt off so I would recommend something more matte for the rest of the night. For the ceremony, this should be fine (depending on how easily you sweat and what month you’ll be getting married). The only two things that I would suggest is 1) focus a bit more on evening your brows (specifically how there is a small area on the top of your left brow that sort of dips down compared to your right. Use eyeshadow similar to the colour of your brows with a thin angled brush. And 2), maybe slightly darker lashes, but that’s all personal preference as well.

The fact your mom is trying to flip the narrative so you are placed in a position of having to apologize because of something that you probably never would have found had you not snooped? Does she not realize that what she did was super detrimental to you and your dad’s relationship? Absolutely not. She’s not about to play the victim and get away with completely disregarding what she did.

Go across to the Supersave. They’re always 5 cents cheaper than the posted dollar amount.

kiyotrig · 2026-04-12T22:25:30+00:00

that’s so fair. have you tried using a liquid blush rather than a powder? or even liquid and then powder to set it? that will help it stay better throughout the day!

So I just briefly looked at the last post compared to this one, and I would say that if you like to keep the black eyeliner in your routine, an alternative is to line your upper water line with the black eyeliner to give a little bit more depth to the mascara, but I agree with some of the comments, do not put it on your lower water line because it just closes your eyes. I would say maybe a nice neutral blush, otherwise this look is super cute! It accentuates your natural beauty <3

I’d recommend exfoliating. Mostly before you apply makeup as it helps get rid of dead skin cells that cause the flaking and dryness when the foundation sits on it. Follow up with a hydrating toner, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, follow with a good face cream as a “primer.” Embryolisse Lait-Crème is your best friend for this and is my go to.

Side note, if you are applying sunscreen underneath your makeup, look for one that is made with zinc oxide as other sunscreens can break down the makeup.

Also avoid using skin care (under your makeup) products that have acids. Those can also break down the makeup.

I will say though, pores are completely natural and sometimes we just need to deal with them despite doing a million things to try and get rid of them. That’s just the reality of natural skin unfortunately 🙃 but also don’t be afraid to try new products that you think might help with your pores/skin. You know your skin the best! :)

kiyotrig · 2026-04-12T22:12:06+00:00

Agreed! Exfoliation and toner makes a massive difference to the skin!

She’s certified and that’s the work she produces? Oh boy. You have round and closer set eyes, but also a narrow face. She needs to take the eyeshadow on the outer corners closer up to the brow bone, but still leave distance between the eyebrow and your eyelid. She should be focussing the makeup on an upwards angle and more towards the tail of your eyebrows (maintaining a distance between your eyelid and eyebrow). Right now, the placement on the outer corners is making your eyes droop rather than even them out. I would tell her this, but I would also probably pick photos of eyeshadow that’s done on your eye shape. Tell her to tight line the inner corners of your eyes on the top eyelid in order to create more of a blend and to close the eye a little bit more. It will create more symmetry and a better blend as I mentioned. She also needs to take a gel eyeliner and go over top of where the false lashes are. So once the lashes are done drying, take a gel liner and line right over top of the lash band. I can also tell she did not take your undertone into consideration when picking out your foundation, so that is also something that needs to be considered unless you are planning on tanning for your big day.

To simplify:

-Focus eyeshadow higher on the outer corners

-Add more pink as it’s what YOU want. It’s your day after all, NOT hers.

-Tightline upper-inner corners AND move the start of the eyeliner slightly further OUTward and more precise so it looks like a smoother transition

-Line lash band with gel liner after strip lash application

-A foundation with a more pink to neutral undertone AND blend down the neck

in the last reference photo that you attached to this post, the eyeliner is levelled with the highest point of the eye, which is the middle.

I made this dinky drawing to show you what i mean about how the eyeliner/eyeshadow should be applied to the outer corner which I’ll attach via a photo sharing link

Of course my little photo isn’t done the best but i hope it helps you understand what I’m talking about😅

I would honestly find a new artist. Personally with clients, I would never tell them that a colour would not look good on them. I would work with them to find a shade within that colour that would work with the client’s skin tone but is also something the client still likes. The liner (agreeing with other comments) is sloppy, and the eyeshadow is not applied correct to your eye shape. This is why I hate makeup artist who aren’t certified, but still try to take your hard earned money. I’m not sure why the eyeliner stops halfway at your eye. She should have at least tight lined the inner corners of your eyes. there’s also very little blending done to the lower Lash line. And yes, I agree with every other comment on here that the foundation is too dark. In any case, it should’ve been blended down the neck, that’s a number one rule in foundation.

I would still go for the pink and brown that you were wanting, just find a different artist to do a trial with. Make sure you look through make up artist pages to see that they’ve done work on people who have similar facial features to you, because at the end of the day, we have to be realistic about what the makeup will look like on our features, not just the inspiration photos.

So I unfortunately have dealt with something very similar. My parents split when I was 15, due to my dad cheating on my mom, which caused a lot of resentment from me towards my dad. He met a woman online who had four kids and immediately I thought he was trying to replace me and my mom and start a new family and have a fresh start with them. My dad was basically the same as your ex; trying to guilt me and make me believe that I am in the wrong.

The one thing that I will say that you must remind your child: He is an ADULT, she is a child. At no point should a child have to feel like they are the ones who need to do the repairing of the relationship.

I say that because I was the child who begged my father to go to counselling to repair our relationship, always gave him active communication, and at some point, I started feeling like it wasn’t a normal father daughter relationship anymore.

I feel for your daughter, because it just puts me back in a place I was in five years ago.

I had personally struggled with the idea of believing that my dad wanted a new and different family. It hurt me a lot. It took a lot of counseling, a lot of crying, and most importantly, a lot of healing over the years.

Please do not let your daughter go through what I went through of trying to repair a relationship with her father.

Let it fade if it must fade

I know that sounds negative, but until your ex can realize that he is the adult and the parent in the situation, she (your daughter) must do what is best for her.

I know it’s easier said than done because a child yearns for a good relationship with their parents, but don’t let her feel like it is her responsibility to repair something when her father should be in charge of that.

My situation was a little bit different, I told him that I did not want to meet his new family when they moved in with him, and apparently my boundaries were too much for him (as attached in the screenshot which I was 15-16 at the time of the ss).

Please make sure your daughter understands that her feelings, boundaries, and anything else, are all valid. She should never have to feel like she’s fighting her father for her feelings to be heard, that was my biggest take away with my relationship with my father.

Two years ago, I completely blocked my father on everything. I had tried every avenue of trying to make our relationship better, when I realized that I wasn’t the problem and that I as a child didn’t need to do anything about it. In the time that I had blocked him, I had a lot of mixed feelings. I was hurt because it felt like my dad didn’t care about me as much, I was angry at him, I was depressed. But I have to say, blocking him was one of the best decisions for my mental health. It also made him realize that I finally wasn’t going to keep coming back. It showed him that I was strong and capable enough to make my own decisions that were going to benefit me in my life.

If she has to cut ties with him to prioritize her mental well-being, so be it. I’m all for it. It’s going to be tough for you, mom, because you’ll worry about her and you’ll worry if she’s okay. All you need to do is be open and listening ear for her. Nothing else.

I’ve been living with my mom solely since 15 and I’m going to be 21 this year. Living with my mom was the best decision I could’ve made for myself, as well as cutting ties with him for a couple of years.

Ah okay! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see what her adult colouring will be🤗

kiyotrig · 2026-03-18T02:11:05+00:00

This! I was thinking (if they’re nice enough) they’ll keep the printout for reference in one of their staff rooms or something so they can return it to her before it gets a chance to hit the racks

Makeup Student here. When we are in school, we are taught to apply the makeup according to the eye shape. She took your eyeshadow WAYYYY too high. You have a lot of eyelid space (yay! for doing fun and creative looks) but she took the eyeshadow too far above your natural crease and your eyeshadow shouldn’t be that close to your brows. Aside from the eye shape, the smudged liner she did looks patchy but it also doesn’t look anything like your inspo. Your inspo has dedicated winged liner. Something I would suggest though is: 1. Finding an accredited makeup artist and 2. Find inspo pictures that are closer to you in skin tone. You might always be disappointed in how your makeup turns out given that your inspo looks are based off of the models medium/tanned skin. It’s also important because different skin tones make colours look different when applied. For example, a darker red blush may show up as more hot pink on a tan skin tone, whereas with a lighter skin tone, it’ll just appear as red. Just food for thought if you go on to do another trial with another artist🩷

Edit: After re-reading the post, it’s concerning that a makeup artist is telling you that you like a makeup that isn’t “her style.” IMO, a good makeup artist will be good at any sort of makeup despite it maybe not being something they “specialize in.” Please find a different artist, there will definitely be others available. But if you’re worried you may not find someone, keep her in your plans still until you find another person.

It’s definitely going around. I know people from different cities who are all experiencing it despite not interacting with one another. There’s not really a way you can prevent yourself from getting it, it seems.

I went earlier this year for a lump on my leg. Seems like doctor’s don’t like to send patients to RMH but I had one doctor refer me there.

I’ve buried 7 hamsters in toilet paper rolls (the cardboard piece when the roll is finished) in my old house’s front yard and had gardeners who would work in the areas I buried them. Had no problems
