This is why it'd be good to have siblings! xDDD Hehee! My makeup skills (on the rare occasions that they are put to use) are actually not half-bad. My hairstyling skils, on the other hand... well, let's just go with I have no future in that business! :P
Anything, really. But a French twist was what I was attempting.
Somewhat like this (http://besthaircutstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/trendy-french-twist-hairstyles-for-women-2.jpg) but less formal. OH MY. Wait. if you didn't get hairspray then why did you get styling cream? :3
xD I just don't like makeup in general. It irritates me and so do people who spend every minute of their free time checking on it and fixing it. If I do use it though, I stick to just simple stuff for slight emphasis on the eyes. (My eyelashes are already long and dark so mascara would make them goopy and disgusting, and my lips just look horribly plastic with anything but sheer super-healing chapstick on them.) I have to use a cleanser though, or else! It's a shame too because my skin is so sensitive...
It's okay. I'll go out on a limb here and guess that it was the guys in tuxes. >D
I'm a fan of natural beauty too. Everyone has flaws, and I more deeply appreciate the fact that someone is willing to work with what they have as opposed to just covering everything up. (Also, people with too much/poorly done eyeliner remind me of pandabears. <3) I mostly stick to neutral or simple, earthy shades to avoid overdoing things whenever I actually put any on. Who knows, though? if I ever get time to just sit down and play, I'll try other colours. :P
Um, right now I alternate between Clearasil (or however it's spelled) and some other product I can't remember the name of. That's the thing: if I use one product for too long it becomes ineffective. Ugh.
SO DO I! <333 But a panda suit would probably just freak me out a little... Shimmery as in makeup, or in general? I never wear makeup unless I'm going somewhere special. And it's hard for me to think of anything as special unless it's hardcore special. xDDD Do you not use it because you don't like it, or because you don't know how to?
...Such a thing exists? :O </3
xDDD
Just checking~
Acen?
</3
H-How do you try putting it on, then?
Of course you aren't! You and I are merely in a state of 'cannot do makeup/hairstyling.' xD
*takes a deep breath and gets ready to try her best to explain what she does*
1 -- I cleanse my face and let it dry. This gets rid of extra sheen and other pore-clogging particles that could get trapped between your skin and the makeup. (Or so I think.)
2 -- I pick a very pale, somewhat shimmery shade (usually in the range of beige) and sweep it slightly under the brow and near the tear duct. I blend it with my finger slightly if I think it looks too defined.
3 -- I take a darker shade (light brown) and sweep it across my eyelid, from the corner of my eye out the edge of my lash line. I dust it upwards without applying more. If it's too pale I go back and add a second layer.
4 -- I take a darker colour (deep brown) and smudge it somewhat into my lash line. I do this instead of eyeliner, which I find troublesome to get good results with sometimes.
That's basically what I do. Sorry if it made no sense to you. I'm trying to make you visual aids (don't make fun of them) now. Not saying that it's the only way or the best way to do it, but I find it works well enough. I can try to do it and take pictures later if you remind me.
ALSO. WHAT VIDEO. *comforts*
>___> ? I just use this big thing of makeup my mother got me a long while ago, when I had absolutely no interest in it at all. xD
Wait. What colour are your eyes? The colours you want kind of depend on your eyes too sometimes. Makeup is so complicated. DX
Couldn't you ask her for tips too? :O
OHHHHHHHH, that's what you meant. I thought you meant something totally different. That's not so bad then. *relieved* I thought you meant trace along the upper lash line and then kind of follow your eyeball curve upwards from there. that freaked me out. :P
OH MY. I feel sorry for my roommate. She'd have to put up with all of my late night typing and I'd probably try dragging her off to bowling and ping-pong and karaoke. Then again, she'd probably drag me to her parties. xD ALAS.
Ah. Also. I tried and somewhat miserably managed to get a slight visual (http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/6127/eyeshadowtutorial2.jpg) for you on how I do my eyeshadow. Keep in mind brushes in image editors don't give the smoothest look... I'm too lazy to do one right now but maybe tomorrow if I remember I'll take an actual picture for you.
I know, but it was the only one closed eyes picture I found at a decent angle. :P Wait a second, remember that I said it isn't set in stone...! :O Hmm~ well, while I'm up, I suppose I'll go and try to get a picture. Don't laugh though. I'm sort of groggy and not very good-looking after lounging around all day. DX

*dies*
Oh, yuck. D:
Eyeliner irritates my eyes so i usually don't bother with it.
...Does it even show up against your skin? :O
And yes, I think Loreal has that HIP collection or something.
