there cool tips

mortalitas incomitatus · 10-16-2005, 03:31 AM

ok the rules.....

SCRUB your face every night and morning cos if you have less acne and blemishes, you wont really need too much foundaition.

and moisturise well as concelers, foundation and powder tend not to stick to dry skin and will flake.

use a seperate night moisturiser and day moisturiser as the night ones tend not to soak in as fast and can be a little greasier and the day ones go better under makeup.

try to get one that has sunscreen in it aswell.

ALWAYS spend a little more on good cosmetics cos often they are kinder to your skin and as they are better quality they wont wear off so quickly so you wont be reapplying all day like the cheaper ones.
there for they will last longer so they are actually better value.
Nepolian, MAC, Revlon, Clineque, L'oreal, Sushido are all good oh and Natio.

Liquid is good as it wont smudge and is a little more 'defining'.
but it takes a little more time and care and a little harder for a beginner to master.

Pencils/sticks are my personal fave as they sudge and thats 'my look'.
but they can smudge by themselves during the day/evening so you can end up with the 'racoon eyes' look.
but they are quicker and easier.

But you shoult definantly have one of each in you makeup bag.

Ok....the big one.
LIPSTICK.
ALWAYS, always invest in a GOOOD QUALITY one this is a must.
Use with a matching...thats MATCHING lip liner.
and apply the lipstick then blot off then re-apply then blot again then re-apply a final tine and it should last a lot longer.

Always keep you lips well moisturised when not wearing lippy as lippy hates dry cracked lips and will come off easy. so always carry a goop lip balm and use often.

lippy during the day is completly up to you .... some poeple cant pull it off but i personally always wear lippy unless i'm going to work.

But the general rule of thumb is a lighter or more nutral shade during the day and darker shade for the evening.

always put foundation on you eyelids as it will help the eyeshadow stick longer.
dampen the eyeshadow applicater a little as that will gve you a stronger colour.

MAKE conceler your best friend.

ummmmm.....ok i think that covers the basics.
if you have anymore technical questions just ask as i did work as a makeup artist so i know all sorts of little tricks.

ok....hope i helped.

Here's what I don't get about people who put on tons of makeup, and call it a political statement. For some reason, all of the gothic people I know, that I can see and touch, say that MakeUp is thier form of rebellion... Wouldn't it make more sense to save your money, spare the makeup, and buy an AK? Doesn't a bullet make more of a political statement than eyeliner?

Just what I`m thinking. I don`t wear that much make up and I` kind of sick of people always complaining about how they can`t wear make up. Here`s something many people have said before: It`s not the make up or clothes that make you goth.It`s the way you act that makes you goth. Now if you`re allowed to wear make up and you like it, go ahead and wear it. But if you wear it just so people will notice you, then you might as well just put a sign on yourself that says "I`M AN ATTENTION WHORE"

BEND OVER AND PREPARE TO BE FLAMED...

you are an idiot mushroom.
this thread was opened because sark wanted to know about makeup and how to apply it.
not GOTHIC makeup, just makeup in general.
this post has nothing to do with 'goth'.
so go read the first f**king post.
and stop being an unimportant newb who goes off half cocked without even reading the post he is commenting about.
tosser....go away, far, far away from here.

i'm spent.

I personally use both pencil and liquid, first I draw the lines in pencil then I trace it with the liquid for the dramatic look yet less the worry about messing up, I can't draw so the pencil lets me erase and redo without the hassel of washing my whole face like with liquid.

chipndalegoth · 11-12-2005, 02:14 PM

hi i have been using stick eyeliner and i have tried to use liquid but it always makes my eyes water. do you have and suggestions on how i can cope or any alternatives?

ajspear · 11-15-2005, 11:30 PM

I use pencil, it's easyer and I'm lame with the whole not poking myself. Besides, it's cheaper and although eye liner is somtimes considerd "better" truthfull, just do what works better for you.
~~~
on a similar note, what should I do if I have dark skin, I'm not black but I look hawaiin/haspanic even though I'm just chinnesse and white togther, with some polish jew. So, I'm not sure how to get the goth kinda look. I just do "normal" makeup b/c it's simple and almost noticable, plus makes me feel all purtty and stuffz.

((took longer then I had expected))

Souldburned · 11-16-2005, 01:27 AM

I use pencil for the eyes and I don't usually use lipstick, but still I'm quite a newbie about make up so this topic and tips were great.

xXambivalenceXx · 11-30-2005, 05:17 PM

I use liquid for doing designs, but pencil for everything else. My eyeliner is nyc or... some other cheapo brand from walmart. Works wonders.

BlackElvenTear · 12-19-2005, 07:02 AM

well, I've been wearing makeup almost everyday for five to six years now, but still I have found no method to keep the lipstick from getting messed up when I'm eating/drinking. Any idea what to do?

Here's a little tip to get lipstick to stay: use a little aloe vera on your lips (get the real stuff, not the 20% aloe junk they sell in the summer) let it dry completely (it will sting like crazy if your lips are chapped) then apply your lipstick. It helps to use lip liner as well. I don't use stick liner though, I use a lipstick a shade or two lighter than the lipstick.

Underwater Ophelia · 01-16-2006, 06:59 AM

I like to use lip stains instead of lipsticks. They don't come off at all unless you really really work at it.

Natasshha · 01-16-2006, 08:37 AM

Well, something very natural.... just a good clean up, away with oil and everything, nutrogena or clearasil or something everynight and then some mousturazing cream and PRONTO!.
Just a tip, dont weare too much makeup, it really damage your skin and please be carefull sometimes you can get rushes bc the strong chemicals on the products
Use as prescribed..heheheh

Nah, I'm serious... the natural look is the best one.... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...dont forget it.

Could you imagine if that actually was someone's life choice? Oh, dear.

Can anyone recommend any good concealer/pale foundation that isn't greasy or oily? I've tried lots of different kinds but they never really blend well, and it feels like I'm wearing a mask made of peanut butter.

I use Maybelline ShineFree. It's a little tube but a little goes a long way with that stuff.

You can use it to do a full face foundation or to just cover little blotches or pimples.

This can most certainly be found at a drugstore or Sally's, right?

anyone know good make up brands that doesn't test on animals? Its usually not printed on the label, the only ones that I know for a fact doesn't test on animals (NYC, for example) isn't that good.
