unconventional makeup is so much fun

in my previous blogpost i mentioned briefly about wearing a lot of glitter and how much i love it (would recommend to any gender + any expression honestly), but tonight i tried something new

i've been wanting to try blue for a long long time - and i've especially been inspired lately as i noticed the drop off of drugstores selling blue makeup - which is linked to the rise in conservativism btw sorry im #woke i have to talk about it - and with the loss of colour, especially those coined as tacky (i.e bright blue eyeshadow) i thought i should give it a go :)

my options were limited but i'm so glad i finally have some blue mascara, because look how fucking cool this is??


the iridescent nails and blue eye makeup makes me think of the futuristic aesthetics of the 2000s and what we thought fashion would look like...

being a butch lesbian who wasn't in the past, i used to love makeup so so much. never conventional, always weird shapes and drawings, glitter all over my face, weird coloured highlighter, bright shiny colours, and despite butch being the right thing for me - i feel so much more at home in my body and my community now - there is femininity that i miss so deeply and unconventional makeup was such a huge part of me for so many years, so it is something i will be bringing back into my life :,)

Oh. My. God. YOURE SO PRETTY AAAAAAA
Can you tell me how to put on eyeliner correctly? Because… I‘ve been trying to put it on but every time I look like some sort of clown… But anyway.
YOURE SO PRETTY

ah babe it is practise practice practise - i learnt with liquid eyeliner which i wouldn't recommend because its so tricky

get an eyeliner pencil or gel eyeliner - something in a stick - and going from the outer corner of your eye, directly in the middle of the upper/lower lid, draw a straight line out - flicky, light movement, not too heavy. if you pull your skin straight and taut you'll get a cleaner line, so put a finger from your other hand onto the tail of your eyebrow and pull outwards slightly - and if you can't get it sharp from drawing, you can still get a sharp line by cleaning it up - if i screw up i use a q-tip or something to drag along the bottom and then top of the wing to sharpen the line i drew if it was a bit splodgy

i hope this helps at all :,) (qualifications, doing ridiculous eyeliner of all shapes for 5 years)
