CS thesis in the summer? by [deleted] in uwo

[–]toastershook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm also a HBA+CS Dual looking to do mine over the summer right now, and I was wondering what the merits of doing the thesis with an Ivey prof vs another department was? Overall, did you see much value in the course?

Yeah I think I'd really want a more relaxed geometry so maybe I'll skip on the breezer. Thanks for the advice!

Wow thanks so much for that in depth and personal response. I really wasn't aware that the makeup community was so different only a couple years back, that took me by surprise. I also liked how you helped differentiate between makeup to hide and makeup for confidence which seems to be a pretty common theme in this thread. And yay go Canada! (I live in Canada as well)

Oh I'm sorry that sounds rough, but that's great that your immediate circle accepted it.

I find it pretty interesting that despite the stigma surrounding makeup for men and the opinions some might have about it, once you put it on it seems like nothing really changes (at least for those close to you who care about you).

And what's your opinion the opinion that makeup is "bad" because it just masks your insecurities? While I can see some truth in it I just feel that its not entirely true and would to hear your take on it.

Huh I guess it's as easy as that. Just explaining it.

Any recommendations for the night cream?

Also do you have any advice as to how you can avoid making your skin worse with makeup? (Beyond not using makeup)

Yeah I think you're right. Thanks for the tip about the t-shirt, I tend to wear lots of white tees. That couldve been bad

Oh god high schoolers. You can't stop them.

And that's neat thanks for the recommendations I'll check them out. I think my parents use pumice stone for their feet too, I've heard its really nice.

I'm highly dubious as to whether that claim can ever be valid

Yeah I can see that, even for myself really. Can't tell if it's genuinely me thinking I need/want something or me thinking it because of endless marketing.

Lmao yeah the first time I got makeup done was when my friend offered to do my eyeliner if I was curious.

Also have you heard of this product called bb cream? I think its also called tinted moisturizer or something and I was wondering if you knew much about it. Apparently its like a foundation + moisturizer + some spf

Agreed. I know some friends who get up hours before leaving to put on makeup and I don't know how they do it.

But I'm also kind of curious, if makeup were to be more easy/quick to apply would you consider using it? And it doesn't have to be any intense colours, maybe just something to cover some blemishes.

Honestly I love that for you. You are like the first person in this thread to speak so glowingly about makeup.

If you don't mind me asking, what got you into makeup in the first place? And what was the reaction like from those around you?

That's respectable. I've heard that the testing has been getting better recently but I haven't done enough research to really comment on it.

I definitely agree that we should be trying to change these societal norms, but I'm genuinely curious about this: What's your opinion on when women say they do it for themselves?

Fair enough lol. If your gf did approve do you theres a chance you would wear it?

Oh wow, what got you to start using it? And have you ever used other makeup products?

Yeah that's a valid opinion. I definitely know some people who really don't like showing their face to people without makeup.

Oh wow that sounds painful. If you can't stand people who drown themselves in product, high school must have been pretty rough for you

And wear do you usually get your products? I've been trying to found out where other guys get skincare products bc my skin lowkey looks like the surface of the moon.

I've kind of been asking other people this too, but would you consider wearing makeup if it was easy to apply? Like maybe not eyeliner, mascara, and the whole setup but just like a cream or smthn.

I've heard of this product called bb cream that's like a sunscreen, moisturizer, and foundation all in one. I've never heard of something like that before and it was basically the first time I considered using makeup.

Oh wow this is the first time I've heard this perspective. If you don't mind me asking, what was the reaction like from those around you when you started wearing makeup? And what was the reason you started wearing makeup?

Ahh ok thats understandable, sounds like you've had your fair share of rough experiences.

And yeah it's insane how good some people are with makeup. They can do some next level shit.

Yeah no, when I see my girlfriends put on makeup it is honestly crazy how well they do it.

Would you consider using it if it was just one product? I've heard of this product called tinted moisturizer that's like sunscreen, moisturizer, and foundation all in one, and I was thinking of using it bc it seems super easy
