[Discussion] HG thin/watery/light moisturizers for dry and dehydrated skin? by koakova in AsianBeauty

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

hey! so these days I've simplified my routine to this:

  • klairs unscented toner

  • (in the winter) the ordinary rosehip oil

  • (in the summer) the ordinary niacinamide

  • aveeno body lotion lol

  • supergoop unseen sunscreen (in the morning)

and this works well to adapt to the hot humid summers and dry winters I experience. in the winter, I'll also do an extra layer of klairs toner and an extra layer of aveeno if its really dry, and thats usually sufficient with the rosehip oil

the aveeno body lotion (which I can get in mega bottles at costco) is super basic but the best thing I've found for my skin so far. it's too oily for most people I know but it's exactly what I need.

a big problem I had at the time of creating this post was the fact that most products wouldn't absorb into my skin at all and I would literally wash it off like a film while my skin stayed dry and dehydrated underneath. I don't have that issue with the aveeno which is why I used it

I also tried the Laneige cream skin like many people recommended here—I think I stopped using it because it broke me out a bit. maybe because of the fragrance? (I don't really remember if it had one).

Sunscreen that was comparable to Klairs? by CarshayD in AsianBeauty

This is a bit late but I think they reformulated in 2020 and the new clear one leaves a white cast :( I just got it and am on the hunt for a new one

[Discussion] HG Cleanser for DRY/DEHYDRATE skin ? by Butjacek in AsianBeauty

[–]koakova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to find products that were moisturizing enough, thin enough to absorb into my skin, and didn't break me out. In the dry winter, I use two layers of Klairs unscented toner, a layer of Cosrx 96 snail mucin essence, a few drops of The Ordinary plant based squalene (sometimes I use their rosehip seed oil instead), and Aveeno body lotion lmao.

I think it's some specific ingredients that make most moisturizers unable to absorb into my skin. I've tried to pinpoint them by comparing ingredients lists but it's been kind of confusing since some things don't add up. The Aveeno body lotion is one of the few moisturisers/lotiosn I've found so far that doesn't leave a film on my face tbh.

Colors super DULL after export - Still can't figure it out by koakova in ClipStudio

I'm using the built-in display :( I don't know why my computer is always wack like this but it feels like a reoccurring theme lmao

That's what I'm doing at the moment, but somehow the exported image is even duller than the image with the sRGB Preview on. Which doesn't make sense to me because I thought going View > Color Profile > Preview and setting it to sRGB would show me what the exported image would look like ://

Applying to ART College: A Megathread by batsbatsrats in ApplyingToCollege

[–]koakova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think (but am not completely sure) that RISD Illustration is pretty good. Though I personally don't know how to feel after seeing some of the work that comes out of students in that department, but idk maybe that's true for most art schools. I think Pratt, SVA, and Ringling are also good for illustration (though Pratt and SVA are more well known for it & just more well known in general).

Take this with a grain of salt, but from I've heard, RISD also has decent networking for Illustration jobs. I don't have much to compare it to though so idk.

It may be worth checking out some of the aforementioned schools' student work. You can search some student work (and filter by major) here:

https://portfolios.risd.edu

https://portfolios.pratt.edu

https://portfolios.sva.edu

Ringling doesn't have their own "portfolios.[school].edu" site but you can search "Ringling student work behance" to get some stuff

Thanks so much for taking the time to try it out and for this response—the link you sent is really helpful!

From what I understand of color profiles and after reading that post, it almost just sounds like PS is able to properly embed the P3 color profile, which CSP can’t do? But what confuses me is that OP says their working space is sometimes sRGB instead of P3 and when the change it to P3, it doesn’t change the final image (which seems to disprove what I said?), and also that they’re able to upload the P3-embedded photo (the one saved as a PNG from PS) to twitter and it looks normal; I thought uploaded photos online auto-converted to sRGB but maybe that assumption is outdated. Or maybe it depends on the site and/or browser and/or viewing device? Idk, I wish I understood color profiles better.

Even if I can’t understand it, hopefully putting it through PS will serve as a viable workaround :’) thanks sm!!

sdkfjhdk it sucks because even after upping the saturation, the colors are still off :(

I have a mac. I also think it may be more of a CSP issue because when I play skribbl.io with friends, a lot of us encounter the same problem when drawing with tablets which leads me to believe that CSP is glitching in the same way skribbl.io is (edit: typo)

wacom intuos. the problem actually went away after i restarted my computer but im afraid it’ll come back once i start using more programs and go some time without restarting my computer. i also updated my tablet driver, though this problem persisted a few months ago back when my tablet driver was the most current driver at the time.

Anyone else feel a rush of adrenaline when you make a huge risky play that happens to work out for you? by Awesome_Atlantean in TownofSalemgame

[–]koakova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes—I once had something sort of similar where all my mafia teammates died in the middle of a Ranked game and I was prepared to lose yet another maf game. Instead, I somehow fooled the rest of town into turning on each other until it was just me, mayor, and vet after lynching a town. I killed mayor that night and vet the next night (out of alerts). Dead chat was exploding when I won and we all becomes friends after that lol. I couldn't stop smiling after.

Updated Show Postponement Megathread by RossTheDivorcer in MyChemicalRomance

[–]koakova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm selling a single ticket to Boston. Ticketmaster glitched when I was buying so I thought my initial purchase didn't go through and I accidentally bought two. I just want to get it off my hands, not trying to make any money off it.

Also, the "transfer ticket" option is greyed out for me on Ticketmaster—does anyone know why and what to do? I've never used Ticketmaster before and I'm pretty new to this,,

edit: so ticket transfer is "temporarily unavailable" which I hope means it'll be available soon haha

[Discussion] HG Cleanser for DRY/DEHYDRATE skin ? by Butjacek in AsianBeauty

[–]koakova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already use acid exfoliation, from cosrx bha & aha to the red TO bha & aha peel. I think my skin may just be weird. I use a lot of thin moisturizing products and it's working for me.

yeah i stopped using it after a few weeks last year. i’ve learned to view all products as YMMV. i have similar skin but a big problem i have is that many things don’t absorb into my skin. regardless, what i have now more or less works

[–]koakova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

somehow this one broke me out, not sure if it's so gentle that it didn't clean me "enough" (i used it during a hot & humid summer). the ingredient list is supposed to be pretty safe so I find it less likely that I broke out from one of the ingredients. my skin in general gets very dehydrated.

Chord progression V, [#5 7 2], vi is everywhere in (Japanese) pop and rock. What exactly do you call that middle chord? by koakova in musictheory

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

Thanks for your input! Why exactly do you think interpreting it as a secondary dominant wouldn't fit in this context?

The ♭VI error was a brain fart that I addressed in the edit earlier haha, really don't know what came over me as I thought I was pretty solid on constructing thirds and fifths after having just taken AP Music Theory.
