I've seen a lot of people rave about the cosrx pimple patches.
They didn't do anything for me. :(

Whew, this thread hasn't seen a post in awhile. I'm a total makeup novice (but getting better!) and have a question I've seen conflicting answers to: is it typically OK to use gel eyeliner for your waterline?

Getting close to the waterline but not quite on it is great advice. If you already have large eyes, though, you could get away with using black (or any other color) directly on it for a more striking effect.Also, black/dark colors is usually never a good idea, just because it makes your eyes look smaller, heh. If you're trying to highlight, I would get as close to the waterline as possible but not on it.
Some eyeshadow tutorials on youtube might help in terms of application; I haven't seen too many but they all seem pretty comparable to me.
Using some sort of primer is also supposed to both make eyeshadow more vibrant and also last longer. I use the one from urban decay, but I think Too Faced is supposed to have a decent one and I've heard that the elf one is basically a dupe for the UD.
Finally, some eyeshadows just suck...cheaper ones tend to have less payoff. You can try playing with applying it wet or with your finger vs a brush.
RpgN - I'm not too good with fancy eyeshadows. I'd recommend youtube beauty bloggers for that, like what meow said. I do basic two color blends with golds and browns, as I have black eyes and those colors work well on my skin to give me a neutral look.
Re: the masks - yeah ionno if masks do THAT much TBH. I notice a bigger effect with hair masques. But, it's more of a psychological thing I think, to pamper. I enjoy the facial mask, the long warm bath with my Kindle, the scent diffusers... just being warm and cozy and feeling nice. It's very relaxing.
If you pay close attention to make up video tutorials, matte light eyeshadows are barely visible even in the most expensive palettes. With the shimmery ones you will see more color (I prefer shimmery eyeshadows, even though they aren't the most ''in'' style). But you can also use a eye primer/white concealer (good for pastels and neons)/wet brush (in toner or water) to obtain more color.
About the color combinations there isn't much of a rule, but you can try certain combos that would make sense in other stuff, like gold and brown, black and blue, pink and brown, copper and green...
Not Canadian, but as a guy I've had my skin matched at the average cosmetic stand within a store - it's all fairly simple, they've been happy to help and explain differences. Can also be worth asking for a sample so you can try it in other light - shop lights can be weird and not always exact matches. Tinted moisturiser can be a good one if you're not wanting to be too obvious.Canadians: Where is the best place to get your skin tone checked, and recommendations? I'm guessing it's either SDM or Sephora? I've never put on make-up before (just regular skin care stuff) but I'm thinking about starting to use concealer or something. I'm a guy, and don't want it to be too obvious, but I don't know which establishment would help me accomplish that.
Thanks, that makes me feel a little better about going in to get matched. I ordered some Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB, which should help even out my tone (which doesn't need too much assistance) - my main problem is really my acne/razor burn, which doesn't seem to go away no matter what products I use.Not Canadian, but as a guy I've had my skin matched at the average cosmetic stand within a store - it's all fairly simple, they've been happy to help and explain differences.

That plaid is beautiful!! I need a spring pattern look soon!
I've been relying on nail salon recently, but I might switch to nail stamping and doing my own nails in the summer.
Nothing fancy rn but you can see I have the tips as triangles fingers on each hand.
Help on painting nails for the very first time. Never done it before.
oh awesome! thanks, thanks a bunch! Yeah I want to start there, but eventually do those cool "galaxy" style that i see pics of, it looks so cool to me, lol.This is a pretty basic guide but it's the most essential things you need to know if you're just trying to do a solid base color.
Next step for me is probably trying mat liquid lipsticks. A friend of mine totally recommended me Kat Von D's, so I might just start there soon!
I'm a huge Sailor Moon fan, and I defo could see myself using this palette, hence why I want it so much!
Also the reviews have made me even more interested into it. I don't know ColourPop as a brand, but I guess now it's on my map!
I didn't even know makeup could expire.So I took the plunge and did a deep dive on my makeup, throwing out absolutely everything that was expired. I had stuff that I have had for a verrrrrry long time. I had some Lime Crime velveltines that I wanted to keep, did a test swatch and had a minor reaction to the skin. Into the bin they went!!!
Now my makeup collection is very, very small. My hope is that by keeping it so small, I'll actually use what I have.
