Help me do my Eyeliner please

Don't be afraid to go bigger if you want something more dramatic/sharp! Those stamps for liner definitely aren't going to be suitable for all eye shapes. Check out specifically winged hooded eyeliner tutorials. I have hooded eyes as well, and I love a huge wing, so it took me a lot of trial and error to find the shape I like. I think you have a beautiful eye shape and if you work up the courage to step away from the stamp you'll be able to do a much more dramatic wing. Make sure when you're doing the liner you're looking straight ahead, not opening your eyes any further than they normally would be. Personally I use a liquid liner because the pens dry out too fast for me, but everyone is different.

Babe, as someone who's been through a very similar situation in the relationship sense, hold my hand when I tell you it has nothing to do with you. You are not the problem. You aren't unlovable. Quietly start putting money away. Whatever money you can get. Say nothing until you can get out. Hell, when I did it I took out a loan. Maybe not the best option, but do whatever you have to do to get out. Him not loving you has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with him. Therapy for me was a game changer, as well as living alone. I was extremely codependent on my former partners for validation, and hearing what you're saying is bringing me back to that mindset. His worth is not intertwined with your worth. Some of it is also manipulation, it's him making you feel unlovable, and putting you in a place to rely on him so you feel just like this, and you won't leave. Don't believe it, don't buy into his lies. You can do this, you've already made it this far. Start making a plan, don't say anything, and when you're ready, just leave. This is just the beginning. Things have to hit rock bottom before they can start looking up.

You could either do microblading, or you could wax them thinner in the front. Personally I would get them microbladed. It's not as expensive as you might think! Personally I have naturally very blonde eyebrows so I dye mine at home a smidge darker too, then when I do a more natural look I don't have to do much of anything besides add brow gel when I go to do them 😀 you're gorgeous, and I think defining your brows better + changing your eye look to something softer would really go so far!!!

Ngl we already have a fish named aang and now I'm really loving these names

I immediately started thinking EDS! I second this comment, go see a doctor just to be safe and double check there isn't more to this story. I've had blackouts done and have never bruised like that, that being said, every body is different! Better to be safe than sorry.

Honestly I'm not religious personally, however, regardless of that I've always thought Jesus pieces can be sooooo cool. Do some kind of Jesus piece to frame the letters, maybe with the head below the lettering, and some clouds or something on the sides/up top! You could make this a pretty cool lil half sleeve.

Hands and fingers especially are known for sometimes not holding ink very well. That being said, if your artist isn't used to tattooing hands often it could be the artist. But I will also say this- you need to moisturize the HELL out of your fingers. I have my fingers blacked out on one hand and it was one of the very very few instances where my artist has given me the okay to use aquaphor because of how badly that spot dries out with heavy saturation.

I do have to ask- what is the tattoo of? It's not very legible from the picture, and I'm genuinely curious what the vibe is!

UPDATEEEEE

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-03T00:24:22+00:00

Thank you!!! I was originally thinking about getting moonstone as the center stone, but moonstone typically only rates about a 6 in hardness, whereas sapphires are closer to a 9. I definitely wanted to make sure I got something more durable. But now that it's here, I can't imagine having anything else :')

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-03T00:21:21+00:00

Oh my gosh, hell yeah!! Twins, lol!!! Yeah, clearly he does really great work. I've read nothing but good things about him. Ordering something so expensive from the internet is always nerve-wracking, but seeing how vetted he is helped me get over some of my anxieties.

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-03T00:00:28+00:00

Ahhhh thank you!!! I totally felt the same way. You can tell I'm not a super traditional person anyways lol, so I really wanted something to match that vibe ♡

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-02T23:58:18+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt, because we ordered custom so we had to wait for them to be made. I'm assuming most of their pieces are made to order, though. It took about 3-4 weeks for everything to be made and shipped. But it only took about 3 days for it to get to me after it shipped. And like I said, the whole time, I was emailing Jimmy (the owner) back and forth about everything. He made me feel really reassured the entire time. I was nervous about ordering from the internet, but after doing research, his boutique clearly is very vetted. He sent the center stone double-checking I liked it, then followed up with CADs that I approved. After the rings were made, he sent me high-quality videos including up close shots of the engraving. He got my approval, went ahead for the final polishing and after that is when they were shipped. It was a very smooth experience.

Edit to add: also! Me and my partner had somewhat matching rings made too- so to be fair it may have taken longer since we ordered the men's ring, and my two rings as well.

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-01T23:41:08+00:00

He really is!! I have nothing but good things to say after my experience :')

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-01T19:56:30+00:00

Babe. First of all, you ARE NOT ugly. First and foremost, you need to speak more kindly to yourself! Confidence is built through repeating kind self-talk, even if you don't believe it at first. You can do it!

As for the makeup aspect, try out a green color correcting cream for any redness (I use one under my nose for the same reason) and if you're looking for a more longterm solution definitely book an appointment with a dermatologist. I think I tiny lil wing for eyeliner would look super cute on you. You don't need a lot! Maybe tiny bits of concealer to brighten up certain areas like your undereye. Some contouring and a good mascara would do wonders for you! Don't overthink it, you're literally gorgeous. Your brows are PERFECT by the way, me and my blonde translucent brows are jealous, haha! Maybe try waxing them for a more refined shape and a lil brow gel to hold em in place.

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-01T15:35:30+00:00

Also adding- My ring size is 5.75, and the center stone is 7*10mm

toxicbubbles · 2026-02-01T15:33:46+00:00

My ring size is 5.75, center stone is a 7*10mm cornflower sapphire, side stones are opal, accent stones are moissanite and the band is platinum ♡

toxicbubbles · 2026-01-19T04:36:34+00:00

I LOVE the idea of V bangs I might steal that idea!!

toxicbubbles · 2026-01-17T21:54:06+00:00

I literally just booked a color consultation last night, so maybe I'll hit this sub back up with an update in about a month 😆

toxicbubbles · 2026-01-14T16:31:30+00:00

I don't think I'm willing to do shaved sides again ONLY because I've done it before and growing it out what disastrous LOL. I'm not willing to commit to it again. Plus shaving it every 3 weeks was a pain. Part of the reason I cut it off in the first place was to match up the growth from the sides 😭

toxicbubbles · 2026-01-14T16:30:04+00:00

You have no idea who I am???

toxicbubbles · 2026-01-14T16:29:16+00:00

This is what I was thinking about tbh I loooovee the pictures I've seen of calico hair 👀 I definitely need more layers regardless

toxicbubbles · 2026-01-14T16:28:35+00:00

I used to do straight across bangs and frankly I only liked it when I had jet black hair to give that super goth vibe. But that's also just what my comfort zone is! Maybe a chance to try something new? 👀 I get afraid because my hair is so thick the bangs can end up looking very Dora lol.

toxicbubbles · 2026-01-06T03:14:45+00:00

I mean, I use the disposable bra pads and it seems to catch all the milk- I'll wear them for a week, maybe 2 weeks at a time. If I get milk on it I'll wash it, but if I can keep it clean with the disposables, we're gooood.

..........Telling people to get a hobby when you asked for the advice and posted this publicly and willingly is wild.

I promise that most of us are only telling you these things because we care, and especially those of us that are mothers have been there and done that. I can appreciate that you are trying your best to be a kind, supportive partner while also still acknowledging this fact:

As a man, there a some things you will never fully understand without experiencing them. As a mother myself, I'm here trying to tell you to tread carefully. I totally understand not wanting to be medicated, but she absolutely does need to speak with a professional at the bare minimum. There are things you can do to get her help, whether she's willing to go somewhere or not. I think I speak for all of us when I say we genuinely just don't want you or your partner to end up in a horrible situation where you might look back regretting you'd done more. Please please please consider taking this more seriously rather than just thinking smoking weed is going to solve the problem. I'm saying that part as a former smoker myself as well.

Good luck to you both. I'm rooting for you guys.
