I've heard horror stories about waxing, but not facials. People waxing skin off, or taking off an entire eyebrow :blink:

I've seen it happen :shock: This poor girl went in to get her brows waxed and her lip....and well the lady waxed the skin on her lip off.

I had medium blonde hair with light blonde streaks. All three of my kids have this same hair. I think they're the most adorable girls ever, but then I am biased.

I bet they are beautiful! My eyes also changed from blue to bright green at the same time my hair changed.

Yeah, if the wax is too hot it's a problem. Also if you don't hold the skin tight enough or go over the same area more than once with soft wax (it's ok to do this with hard wax).

I've had half an eyebrow taken off. That was a fun time!

Your eyes are very pretty!

I have hazel eyes, though a lot of times they look more brown.

I would cry if that happened to me.

Your eyes are very pretty!  I have hazel eyes, though a lot of times they look more brown.

Thank you! I love dark eyes. My husband has hazel eyes and I just love them. Very soulful.

I bet that was awful. I've had the lady wax my brows to practically nothing!

I'd say I have hazel eyes too. But they usually look brown. If my eyes are in the right light or makeup they appear honey colored with green in them.

I won't let anyone touch my brows. I don't trust anyone that much and I'm such a baby when it comes to the pain that I just have to do it myself. I usually leave them full, though, and just tweeze a few strays.

Yeah, that's how mine are too. I think they looked hazelish in my FOTD pic today, the one in I took with bright light. Green eyeshadow also helps.

I get mine waxed at a waxing-only place and the people there are really skilled at what they do. I'm not very good at tweezing my own brows. I can never get a perfect arch.

They do in the pic you posted. It really sucks because often I want to take pics that show my true eye color but my lighs are never right.

If they get unruly, my sister waxes them for me. But usually they don't need much, just a bit of tweezing!

My webcam makes my eyes look a lot darker than they are unless I am facing a window, then they look more accurate.

Can any of you lovely ladies help me with my contouring problem? I was given the MAC BB compact in refined golden, mainly because I have very, very dry cheeks and the MA wanted to avoid giving me too many powder products. I just can't seem to get it blended or applied well enough that's it stays crisp (i.e. only in the hollow under my cheek bone) without looking like a streak of too dark foundation. I've been applying with a 130 brush and lightly blending out. Maybe this shade is too golden for me? I'm kind of lost and I think it's been over 30 days so I can no longer take it back. For $30 I'd love to make it work.

I know this is kind of a recommendations question, but I figure maybe someone has some speedy input so I don't have to clutter up the recommendations section with another thread.

Edited to add: I just checked and I have 2 days to return it and grab something like Blunt blush if no one has any ideas.

It was awful! Thankfully the girl I have now just lightly shapes them for me and that's it. I cannot for the life of me do it myself and keep them symmetrical, so I have her do it monthly.

I love nude lipsticks now that my hair is so light. When I had dark hair I usually did a bold lip.

Here's my FOTD. I used my Stila palette that had green eyeshadow in it, I thought it would go well with Black Ivy.

Beautiful! And your blonde hair is super gorgeous with your brown eyes----love it!

Creme D'Nude looks so good on you! I think I need Subculture pencil in my life, too. You look great.
