Why is this forum so quiet?

I've been wondering this for awhile now. Why is the beauty subforum so quiet? It's all about makeup! And beauty products! Makeup, foundation, powder, blush, mascara, eyeliner, nail polish, bronzer, primer, eyeshadow...what's not to love about this place?!

Makeup is good.

Makeup is fun.

Makeup makes you feel pretty.

Love makeup. I do. :)

I am not full time yet and haven't had the chance to play with make up for a long time.

Soon as I can I'll join ya on the girl talk. Getting ready to try out a new Sephora product though and if it works I'll let you know :)

Till then, I really enjoy reading all of your posts. I find them really helpful and I've already added the Orgasm blush and various other products to my Amazon wishlist for when full time nears!

*hugs*

lol, I'm not a big fan of makeup. I will use what is appropriate when it is appropriate, but I doubt it'll be much more than a little eye makeup.

I like makeup more the older i get. The most important for me is the eyebrow pencil. that makes the biggest difference in how i look.

Do tell what is the orgasm blush ?

This is strange I'm learning alot from u girls . After raising my kids I really did not have time for make up . Well this inspires me . Inspires me to do things I should have done ages ago . So keep the ideas coming cause u never know who it might help .

Omg I do not go out of the house without at least some makeup on! Mine only consists of eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow and now and then lipstick. I don't even remember putting it on anymore, it is just part of my morning routine now - but one aspect I am no doubt glad to have. :)

Hee hee - isn't it really neat where we can find inspiration some times? I know in the office I work in, as well as my now-roommate, the other girls seem to be wearing a little more makeup and dolling up a little more.

Cuz people the world over have realized they're beautiful without makeup? Cuz they've decided it's unnecessary, over priced and that the ideal standard of beauty is just a corporate con designed to bait consumers out of their money? Cuz they've determined if their partners can't appreciate them without add ons and enhancers, then it's their partners' loss?

Ah. . . utopian, but I can dream, can't I?

Never mind. :lol:

It's blush made by NARS and the shade is called ..that. It's not cheap though, I paid $28 for it but it's very pretty and very flattering. Even celebrities wear it!

Also apparently I have guilt-tripped my dispatcher into wearing mascara. I'm not sure how I did that, but according to her I did.

If you know what your looking for there are some great deals to be had on Ebay, for example, I won a full size Boscia tinted moisturizer yesterday for a whopping $3 when it retails at almost $30. Oh yeah, that NARS Orgasm is awesome and if you like that you ought to try the Copacabana too, very pretty it is.

Just as I supposedly guilt-tripped my dispatcher into wearing mascara, one of my friends has guilt tripped me into wearing eyeliner. I tried it today and I think it turned out really well. Really defines your eyes! I used the one that came in the kit from another thread. This one is pencil and I found it went on easier and was easier to blend than liquid.

I love eye liner it love doin the edge thingy on the side of ur eyes.

Thx Lizzie for ur response never heard of that hear im gonna look it up

Well my eyeliner quest has lead me to try a few other products. I noticed with pencil the bottom lid tends to melt after a few hours and for me, that's totally not acceptable. Luckily the pencil I was trying was by NYC and only 99 cents so it's not a big purchase.

So today I'm going to try...

L'oreal Infallible eyeliner. "up to 16 hours of smudge resistant color" we'll see about that.

and for the top lid I'm going to try Rimmel Exxagerate bold design eye crayon. Looks like it could be liquid with a felt tip applicator which I figured is perfect for the upper lid. It's new and opthamologist tested...which is unclear if an eyedoctor studied it or if an eyedoctor wore it. Hmmm....

Oh and by melt I mean the color went on just fine but after a few hours it started to look like the beginning of raccoon eyes and yeah, that's totally not acceptable. I want to define my eyes and make them look amazing, not look like I'm in an old time bank robber movie, ya know? Ah the quest for beauty...

Because i can't be full time yet, i have to make thing removable. Uggh. Here's a trick for you if that's your story or if you just want to try something for a short time. I wash face(at least once a week) ha ha, I then use a moisturizer. Most have a mineral oil base. I make sure that my eyes, lashes and brows, have been "oiled" Makeup sticks well but comes off easily without loading your eyes with soap. As i've spent so much of my life under a stone we worms find some tricks.

I'm looking forward to more permanent makeup. I love how it changes my face. I have also noticed at the aa meetings that the girls are dressing better and wearing more makeup. One of the girls has commented on mine and she always does her eyes now. It's great to give oneself time to look good.

Liz, love your posts. I've ended up with raccoon eyes using too much light colored concealer around them. I just can't look 30 again or is that 40 or 50 oops Girls don't mention their age..

Hugs, Charlie

She has to keep up with the competition. Well I say that jokingly but it's true in a sense.

Well I'm giving the new eyeliners a try.

The new pencil eyeliner seems to be staying and not melting so that's a plus.

The liquid eyeliner seems to be working out well, too.

But it's only been like an hour so we shall see as the day progresses how things go.

You have a tremendous resource at your disposal for makeup help. If you've got a question your SO can't answer, you can always come here to ask.

Stay pretty, my darlings. :)

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
