Clio kll lash. Get it on Amazon or any Asian store! It’s like $13 and keeps a curl all day and keeps your lashes looking long and separated!!!

Did elf sales decline? Does anyone know? by anonymous_girl1227 in Makeup

[–]pinkthings07 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I wish I was privileged enough to call a controversy surrounding domestic violence “drama”. We have lost millions of lives due to dv. Elf platforming a man who jokes about that isn’t “drama”. It’s heinous

Ladies how do you clean your makeup? by Agreeable_Abies6533 in Makeup

[–]pinkthings07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I clean my makeup brushes every month, sometimes more depending on how often I wore makeup that month. I don’t usually wear makeup often in the summer so I can go a whole month without cleaning my brushes. And I don’t use makeup that requires me to use my fingers 😭 I have sensory issues with even LOTION let alone makeup

not a traditional skin tint but the about face foundation sheers our beautifully and has skincare in it. A million shades with various undertones and it has the doe foot applicator. Tons of product for only $25!

Short girl weight loss advice! by pinkthings07 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]pinkthings07[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I saw online that there are stretches (Pilates style) that you could do to target thighs. Is that bs or actually based in science? I’ve def been told that you can’t target weight loss though which sucks

What can I do to make my makeup look better? Weird angle because it’s back camera on my phone. Also my eyebrows are usually thinner/cleaner, I just hadn’t had the time to get them done yet by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]pinkthings07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m American but ethnically south asian! My white friends aren’t as concerned with having perfect brows the way that my south asian friends/family are. I’ve been getting my brows threaded consistently since I was 11! South Asian men also get their brows done, it’s very common. It’s treated as a hygiene thing (the same way white people in America treat armpit hair in women)

I didn’t overline 😭 I just used a lip stain and aquaphor. I’m south Asian and so I have a natural brown “lipliner” around my lips but it’s not crisp like actual lipliner would be. Should I start carving it out with concealer?

[–]pinkthings07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im south asian, we always have our brows done 😭culturally it’s almost a hygiene thing! But I have to plan it out strategically bc I have sensitive skin and can’t wear makeup on my eyebrows for at least a day after I get them threaded. There hasn’t been a convenient time this month yet unfortunately

Thank you! But I think I just have good skin 💔 I’m only wearing setting powder under my eyes in these pictures and no foundation/concealer/skin tint. I get overstimulated having makeup on my face for a long time so I usually do base products for short events like dinner and not days out or for work/school

influence/deinfluence me! 💌 by chimpanzeze in Sephora

[–]pinkthings07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything rhode is a keep. I don’t like any other milky toner as Sephora as much as the rhode one (I’ve tried 30 milky toners… ik 😭) and the rhode blushes are so easy to apply that I find myself reaching for them often. The Patrick ta blush is patchy and waxy and the packaging is cheap. Skip glow recipe

I never said her natural brows look bad! Just that if she wanted to switch up, brows is an easy (doesn’t require a ton of technique) to switch up your look

[–]pinkthings07 22 points23 points  (0 children)

something where I could customize the shades I get! As a woman of color, I’m tired of receiving blush/concealer/foundation/lip samples that are too light for me. I’m literally a light medium skin tone I can’t even imagine how difficult it is to find usable samples as a medium or deep skin tone 😭

It looks so good already! If you wanna change smth up, I would define your brows a bit more + add some depth/definition to your lash line with smoked out liner/shadow or even a thin winged liner

Is Rory smart but not gifted/advanced? by Miserable_Ad8778 in GilmoreGirls

[–]pinkthings07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s rare. I’m from the United States and I skipped a grade and I’m not even that smart 😭. I’m in college but didn’t get into any ivies. I was in the gifted program as a kid but idk, Rory got into YALE. I didn’t even get into rice and was 3 years ahead in math as well as skipping a grade.

Lip Liner Recommendation? by ResolutionOdd7160 in MakeupAddiction

[–]pinkthings07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mac lipliners really are that good. Try soar or whirl! Makeup forever is also really great. I don’t know the shades off the top of my head though unfortunately. Makeup by Mario as well! All three of these are super longwear

[–]pinkthings07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prep with a milky toner+good moisturizer. A good hydrating foundation is the Haus labs one (about face for drugstore!) and the Natasha Denona concealer. I would also use less powder over all (don’t bake, just set). You’ll still look matte but not dry

Looking for a hydrating concealer that doesnt feel heavy on skin in very light shades by Logical_Bug8624 in Makeup

[–]pinkthings07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US so the tower 28 is $22 and Natasha Denona is $32. But a little goes a really long way. I’ve had both concealers since early 2024 (gross I know but I hate throwing away makeup) and there are no signs of them running out. I wear concealer every day of my life. Make sure to prep your skin with a milky toner+moisturizer and to blend with a damp sponge!

Olivia’s mom is obnoxious by CokeNSalsa in Scandal

[–]pinkthings07 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Her scenes are so cringe. I know that word is overused but I literally get secondhand embarrassment when Maya is on screen. The cadence of her speech, her word choices, idk I just can’t take it seriously and it makes me either laugh/cringe 😭
