I am morbidly obese. I have tried losing weight for over 20 years, and the doctors just say “eat less, excercise more”. I’m 43 that has occured to me, thanks. No matter how hard I work at it, I lose 20 lbs, and then start gaining it back even if nothing has changed. Or even if I reduce my calorie intake again. Or increase my exercise. Its too the point that whenever I look in the mirror I just see a ft cw of a person. I never really learned to do makeup when I was younger, and Idk how to really learn now. Ive been told by friends to just watch some YouTube videos & experiment. When I do, I just see a ft cw with make-up on. Somethings are okay look wise, somethings are, “Oh dear, that’s a no”, but nothing is ever, “hey, I like this”. How do I figure out something that works for me?
(And yes, I know I need therepy- working on it- just trying to work on things I can control right now.).
I used to never wear makeup because nothing looked “right” to me. Turns out the culprit was black eyeliner. Try a brown or grey eyeliner for a softer look!
Stop! Why oh why did I never think of using a softer color!
Piggy-backing on this— use an angled eyeliner brush and use any color eyeshadow as your eyeliner instead. Bonus: it’s super easy and forgiving to do a bit of a wing with eyeshadow as the liner!
Brown mascara is underated too.
With dark eyes but pale skin, I prefer the look of it for relaxed daytime makeup.
