Makeup 101

Since there have been ladies looking for makeup help, advice, tips, suggestions, etc. I thought it would be a smart idea to have a thread about it instead of searching high and low and sifting through countless threads spread out over a few forums. I also thought since there is so much info already out there on the internet, I'll refrain from posting my personal tips and suggestions and point you instead to a few links that are much more descriptive and thorough.

How to apply makeup: http://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Makeup

Quite thorough. I don't do everything they list here (like foundation primer) so there are some things you can skip but it's a very good link.

How to apply makeup in 10 easy steps: http://www.ehow.com/...-makeup-10.html

Another good read and there are some great questions and answers, too.

Types of makeup foundations: http://beauty.about..../foundtypes.htm

As I'm sure you've noticed, we all seem to have our different routines that work for us. Some ladies swear by stick foundation, others liquid, others just use tinted moisturizer. If you're not sure what all these terms mean and which one may be better suited for you, this would be a great link to check out so you can read up about all the different types of makeup foundation there are.

Different types of lipstick: http://www.lipstick-...pes-of-lipstick

While this doesn't include lip stain, this is a quick read of different kinds of lipstick out there. I've checked out a few links that are similar and they all pretty much say the same thing as this. At least this one has pictures.

All about mascara: http://beauty.about....a/a/mascara.htm

A fantastic link about the ins and outs and the do's and dont's of mascara. A must read!

How to apply eyeliner: http://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Eyeliner

A wonderful eyeliner tutorial with helpful pictures.

Types of eyeliner: http://www.makeupgee...ow-to-use-them/

Fantastic article! This link explains the different types of eyeliner out there and the pro's and con's of each. The lady who wrote this really knows her stuff.

Applying eyeshadow: http://www.makeup2en...-eyeshadow.html

I had to search around for a site that explained the basics of applying eyeshadow and what colors to apply where and I think this is a good one that explains it simply for anyone just starting out.

Makeup tools 101 (brushes): http://beauty.about....makeuptools.htm

So after all that, here is a quick primer about all the various makeup brushes. Now keep in mind, you don't have to have all of these! There are a few brushes that are better than the ones that come packaged with some brands of makeup (blush immediately comes to mind, it's not suggested you use that brush but buy a better, actual blush brush) Also many of the high-end cosmetics don't come packaged with brushes so you would need your own to apply those anyway.

How to apply blush: http://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Blush

A fantastic link about the different kinds of blush out there, and which may be best for you. There are pictures to follow along and some great tips on how to apply it.

Hope these help, ladies!

Practice makes perfect and the best part of makeup is playing around with different shades to create different looks.

After all, it's just makeup. Have fun with it and enjoy being beautiful. :)

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      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.
