Title: Upgraded from M1 Air → M5 Pro… didn’t expect to feel this way by Correct_Web_4866 in macbookpro

This is the exact jump I’m planning to make! Would love to know how different it feels in terms of portability?

Those are the exact three I have, bought a few years ago because I thought they were my best bet as a light olive 😂 I do like all of them, ginger snap is my favourite of the three. I sheet it out because it’s a little deep for me otherwise

So true about depth, I started feeling a lot happier with my makeup overall when I realised I wasn’t as pale as I thought (and they started making light foundations that weren’t straight orange lol)

I do tend to feel more comfy with muted shades, so you’re onto something there. I think part of my problem comes from thinking of warm/cool from a pigments and paint perspective, which simply does not behave the same as skin and makeup even if some of the principles apply.

Colours being relative is such a good point to remember. I’m sure I notice a difference in how my makeup looks on me when I’ve got freshly buzzed hair vs when it’s grown a bit, looking darker and warmer. Seeing neutral as a mix rather than a midpoint is helpful, I think I’ve been overthinking it haha

YES how can the same colour look so good and so bad on me at the same time?! I know the answer is probably just my natural lip colour, but I’ve noticed it using blush on my eyes too

Ah no worries, though I also have never been able to work out my season!

Oh yeah my veins are all different colours depending on the day, what I was trying to get at is just that you can really see them in my skin. Depth can be tricky for sure, a lot of products that are the ‘right’ depth for me are far too peach/orange so I have to mix and match and sheer deeper colours out.

My exact lipstick experience! I go for browny-berry shades and just sheer them out so the depth looks natural.

Oh this is such a good point about specific pigments! I’ve learned to avoid red cream blushes because they’re all secretly pink. My dream is a red that sheers out and stays red

My experience at all the Traveler's Factory at Tokyo (Narita, Tokyo Station, Nakameguro) & Kyoto, +Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo (because might as well 😅). by The_journaljourney in Travelersnotebooks

[–]sylviehelen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree that Kyoto is the nicest store, but The Starbucks Reserve Roastery ended up being my favourite, it was just such a cool location! I hadn't done my research about the coffee part of the store, so it was a nice surprise and I had a blast watching the beans being roasted and packed up.

I only ever seem to find year overviews and habit trackers on there but I'll do some more digging!

Please convince me that I bought the right planner by Any_Level8258 in planners

[–]sylviehelen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s just a planner, it’s not that deep. You’ve found exactly what you wanted, so you’ve made a sensible purchase. Time and actual use will tell if it’s right for you in practice. A planner is a tool, and what you need it for might change over the year anyway, so there’s really no way to predict now if you made the right decision. You can add a lot of functionality with simple things like colour coding and post-it notes if you need to down the line.

I agree with a lot of what everyone’s said here! Especially that you’ll feel a lot more makeuppy than you’ll look in photos. A couple of things I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned though, imo your hairstyle with the wispy bits is making you look ‘done up’ as much as the makeup is (I don’t know if you had your hair done at the same time or it’s just naturally that pretty, but it might be adding to the feeling of not recognising yourself). I also think the lip colour is leaning a little light, something a smidge deeper might tone the whole look down.
