How do i work with clear band lashes? All ive been wearing for years are regular black band but ive always struggled with clear with putting them on and they always seem to poke my eye even if i cut them.

I’m nearly a month late but get the kiss clear lash glue in the brush form. Put on your usual mascara on your lashes. Then, put the glue on the band (coat it generously and make sure to get the ends) and it dry for a minute or two until it’s tacky, then stick it on your lash line just above your natural lashes. I do this after doing all of my makeup (eyeliner, eyeshadow, foundation, etc.)

My sister used to use the born this way foundation and I remember it oxidizing so badly on her. I can’t recommend any concealers because I don’t like wearing them, but if you’re looking at that price range, try tarte’s shape tape. If you’re looking for drugstore (not wanting to risk another splurge) then I have had decent luck with wet n wild’s mega last incognito concealer. It is not going to be comparable to brands like TF and Tarte but I haven’t noticed it oxidizing (aka the process you described).
 
I have longer eyes than false eye lashes usually are. Is there a brand that are longer that I could get on Amazon or some online store?

I use tarte after trying all other brands. It is about $40 but you barely use any of it and it covers my acne scars wonderfully. A bottle last me 6-8 months. You can get it at Ulta.
 
I've been trying a lot of cushion foundations after finding out they still make them (they were really trendy when I was a teenager, and looks like they got trendy again) AMA

Have you tried lash clusters? You use many smaller parts to fill the whole eye instead of just one large band of falsies. I know the imPRESS lashes are popular right now, you could try those.

I didn’t think about that! But those seem overwhelming and time consuming. My adhd might be done with putting them on my eyes before I finished lol. Thanks for the idea, I’ll look at a video on how to put them on.

Were you trying to reply to me? You just quoted yourself (lol)
It's not even that hard if you go for press-on lashes since they don't need glue. Just put the cluster under the natural lashes, "smoosh" them a bit with the applicator they come with and done. It's faster and easier than it seems! (No "muh adhd" here, even my clumsy ass managed to put them just fine on the first try)

Yes! Sorry I’m new to Kiwi farms. Lol

I saw a video of how to do it and they are bigger than I thought and it looked easy to do. Plus it says they can last 5 days on your eyes so it wouldn’t be something I would have to do everyday. So I’m gonna get me a set and try it out!

Thank you!
 
I know nothing about both make-up and this woman who popped up in my recommendations, so could a gorlie please tell me what is causing that creasing around her mouth-chin area.

Today I tried using a man's razor to shave my legs just to try it out, and once again it confirmed what I have known for a long time: women's products are garbage.
Never have I felt such a soft, gentle razor and my legs don't have even the slightest irritation.

Gonna get one of those that last ages with the replaceable blades.

The safety razor? They're good, I have used them in the past. The blades should be kept sharp or replaced frequently because the cuts especially in more private areas are brutal. Buy a blade sharpening device and use it often

I don't shave my pubes, ever.

The difference between men's razors and and women's razors are the intended area of use (face vs body). Men's razors are sharper because men's facial hair is very thick compared to body hair, but they dull far faster because that's just the nature of being sharper. I had to replace the head basically ever other shave, versus my body (women's) razor that has lasted far longer because it's less sharp so that I can get more shaves out of it. Obviously you'll get a closer shave, but the cost adds up.

The second thing is the moisture strip which is there to prevent razor burn, the strips on a man's razors dry out very quickly when used on the body.

I've also heard the curvature on a men's razor is worse, but never noticed that myself, but you'll notice it immediately with a safety razor because they have no curvature, so you have to manually tilt the razor to properly get the hair and avoid nicks, and because they're even sharper single blades they'll dull even faster. I wouldn't suggest sharping them yourself because even the most premium safety razor blades come in packs of hundreds for like 20 bucks.

All of that being said, if you just use the men's razor for your legs it's probably not going to be a bad trade-off, I wouldn't do the rest of my body to help preserve the lifetime of the blade.

I personally use an epilator (automatic tweezers) that just pull the hair out at the root so that the hair has to fully reform, and is weaker and thinner when it does. Repeated epilatation has gotten me down from noticing stubble after a few days of shaving to about two-weeks time.

TLDR: Men's razor is for shaving thick hair over a small area, so they dull far faster and don't have adequate moisture strips for a full-body shave. On the other hand, women's razors are duller so the blade can survive repeated full body shaves, and they have longer-lasting moisture strips. It's less that razor blades are "sex-segrated" and men get the premium partiarchy blades; it's that facial (men's) and body (woman's) razors are optimized for the location they're intended to be used on. Like, if a man used a woman's razor to shave their face they would never have to replace the blade in their life, but they'd have stubble by the end of the day because the shave would be awful.

Lol ok

On a other topic, I hate bras. Always hated them. Can't stand my chest being constricted. I have broad shoulders with a smallish chest (95-100B) so I can never find anything that first properly.
Sports bras, forget it. Even XXXL sports bras feel tiny and restrictive. They always lift too much when I raise my arms.

In colder weather I just go braless.

But I want to wear cute summer tops. And not feel too oppressed in t shirts. Looking for something strapless or convertible without any wires, pads and mostly natural fibers. What do you recommend?

If it was socially acceptable to always go braless, I would. But unfortunately it isn't. Aside from sports, bras have to be one of the most pointless, muscle atrophying wastes of money there is.

Have you considered just sticking plasters over your nipples so they can't be seen through shirts?

Strapless bras with no underwire don't exist afaik. Without straps or wires for support, it's going to fall down when you run or do anything with your arms. If you don't like the idea of going braless or using pasties, I'd suggest getting some cute lace or crochet bralettes that match your summer tops. You can even learn to make your own crochet bras if you're picky about the shape and material. There are tons of YouTube tutorials.
