    Will I grow out of this?

    I think I might have a serious fear of commitment and also a fear of not being in control. I like to be in control at all times with my personal relationships. In other words, I would rather walk away from a relationship than to have somebody walk away from me in a relationship. Whether I am...

    Is this a compliment? Or a feeble attempt to insult me?

My hair is long and usually its natural texture (wavy) or straight...

    Doing makeup for my best friend's event!

    My best friend is of Filipino and Caucasian descent and from my understanding of what she told me, it's a pretty big deal. It's called a May Crowning and it's a super popular practice among Asian Americans. I did her makeup earlier this year for her work's Christmas party and she was so happy...

    airbrushing questions!

    [I hope this isn't the wrong forum but I wasn't sure where to post this, so if this is the wrong form, could a mod please move it for me?] So I recently purchased an airbrush system and I was wondering if it's safe to use several different brands of airbrush makeup instead of exclusively using...

    Rocking Chick l/s vs Trimming Talk l/s

    I was recently told that Trimming Talk l/s from Color Craft is actually a pretty good dupe of Rocking Chick l/s from Barbie Loves MAC. Is this true? I've been looking for a dupe of Rocking Chick l/s for quite some time. In this economy, I just can't justify paying like, $60 for a lipstick on...

    Demi Lovato video rec's

    Here is the video. I'm not sure how to take screen captures from videos... Her makeup looks different throughout the video slightly, just the lighting.

    Quite possibly the brightest pink. Ever. [LOTD]

    I mean, this stuff borders on fluroscent IRL. But I love bold lips, so no complaints over here. It's OCC lip tar in 'Anime'. It says on the website that it makes the "Pageant" lip tar look tame. I have to agree with that.

    Show Orchid v.s. Hollywood Nights?

    How similiar/different are they? I have heard that Show Orchid and Hollywood Nights are identical in color, but I thought I would ask on here to see if anybody who has the two lipsticks or knows if there are any differences/similarities. I tried a search but I couldn't really find anything...

    LOTD- Disco Lemonade

    I decided to try some new things with my eyes and my lips, and I tried something way out of my comfort zone. I like bold lips anyway, but the yellow/gold loose powder kind of scared me but I thought I should try something new. After I was finished, I immediately thought of that line from the...
