I use Essence waterproof Longlasting Eye Pencil, it lasts all day and it's like two bucks. its crayon, though, not pencil. No transfer, though it has a blue undertone when smudged out, so if you are doing a Smokey eye, be aware of that before buying lol.
Thank you, I'm willing to try them out. Maybe the convenience of a sharpened pencil liner could be offset by a sharp angled brush. I generally do a relatively sharp wing and blend it inward so that I don't have to deal with eyeshadows, which are a fucking hassle with very hooded eyes.
Yeah, that's how I used to do it when I did liner with it instead of brush ink liner. The angled brush works perfect. I don't have hooded eyes but my mom does and she used to do it that way, too, so it could work!
Unscented, or just something that smells good? I use the marshmellow primer from Nyx. It smells like candy, but it's not something extremely strong. It also has a very nice and soft texture, almost like whipped cream.Anyone have a pore minimising matte primer recommendation? I've been using E.l.f. and it does a decent job making my skin look smooth, but I'm not keen on the scent. (Using just primer, no foundation, as I've finally managed to get my skin tone even.)
Try Maybelline's tattoo liners. They have a very smooth texture when they're freshly applied, are seriously resistant to everything when they fully dry (you have to rub HARD to get them to smudge), and they're super pigmented. It's gel pencil so I don't know if that's something that gets them disqualified, but they're cheap and the color stays where I put it for the whole day.
I also use a NYX primer! But I use the yellow one. I was debating on yours as well, because those two seem to be loved by many people.
For long skirts - I have one of these wool swing skirts and would highly recommend.
Well my skin is extremely sensitive (rosacea...) and the marshmellow primer hasn't given me breakouts or irritation. I think it also has something calming in the formula because it tones down the redness a bit.
Friend of mine worked at a hippie-dippie retail store once. Part of the orientation involved the corporate dronos saying "we practice what we call Nomadic Selling. What does "nomadic" mean to you?"
Ready for correction, but I've found I like the spray-on hair oils for frizz, anything calling itself "weightless mist." It takes some self-restraint to only do a couple of sprays, because the goal isn't to saturate or brush in.
Try switching over to sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner that target frizz, and add a lightweight leave-in conditioner. L'Oreal Everpure Frizz-Defy shampoo/conditioner and the 2-in-1 spray come to mind as price friendly options.
Your hair can definitely change textures with age/hormonal changes/stress. My straight hair went to wavy during puberty and now loose curls as an adult. Leave-in sprays with some sort of hold are good for waves, cantu is a usual go-to for me for styling but for general conditioning I stick with palmers, either the coconut oil or olive oil leave-in sprays. If you have thicker hair, I'd definitely recommend the leave-in cream though. Back when I had a bob, it was the only thing that defined my mix of waves and curls well without making my hair greasy and I can't remember it ever being frizzy when using it.
What's helped me is putting a hair mask on my mids to ends (dry) and leaving it for several hours (if I'm hanging around inside) and then washing it off in the shower.
Also SILK BONNETS AT NIGHT! I cannot recommend them enough. They have made my hair 100x easier to deal with. But make sure they are silk and not an imitation; silk reduces friction considerably better and it is way more breathable, which our scalps need.
Apologies for tagging you in the lady boards , Schwarzwald, it was just the easiest way to shove the picture in.
Thanking you kindly. I imagine that’s well out of my budget. It is lovely though!
The John Frieda frizz ease stuff is pretty nice. It has stuff for both curly and straight hair and a whole range of products. My hair (straight) is pretty frizzy on certain days and that stuff works really nicely. I suppose with all the advice you've got lots of brands to try out to see what works for you. :>
