makeup gets
hi family, I didn't do much today cus I woke up at 2pm (◡ ω ◡)。。but my mom wanted to get a 3rd lobe piercing and I wanted to look at MAC eyeshadows since seeing a lady on tiktok do her makeup how she would in highschool. I do a lot very similar to how she did, but I also learned some about the eyeshadows and how to achieve a good smokey eye. I don't really watch many makeup videos anymore since it's hard to find content done by people that know why they're doing what they're doing. But she would watch makeup artists and runway shows and stuff like that when it was new, so she learned the proper techniques. I want to do that too (◡ ω ◡)。。。
We went and saw our piercer Sammi and my mom got her piercing :-3. After that, we went to Town Square, since their Ulta has a big MAC selection.
The selection today was pretty good for lipsticks and stuff, but not really for powder eyeshadows. They did have eyeshadow sticks tho. My friend Lyon had gotten a really pretty metallic silver eyeshadow the other day and posted that, so I wanted to try it in person and see if it's something I'd actually want (◡ ω ◡)..
They've also been reintroducing the original nude lipsticks. I use 'Créme Cup' as my everyday color, but last time I was out and looking at MAC, I got 'Fleshpot' since it was new. They weren't completely sold out of the nudes this time, since its been a few months; I got 2 of the other nudes I was interested in trying today.
I tried them when I got home, and made my mom try them too lol. Folio is nice I think, but I don't have a cool enough lip liner to match, so I look kinda crazy. I made my mom use 2 of my 4 nude lipsticks, and she looked crazy as hell cus she's way darker than me. Folio was the same color as her skin and she didn't even want to try Yash cus it's so brown. I made her try Fleshpot tho, and that was the same color as her concealer lolol.
Before going to pay I went and looked at Halsey's makeup brand. I got 1 of the liquid eyeshadows the same time I'd bought Fleshpot. I got the gold color, and I really like the product. There's a really big color selection, and the products are the same color as the packaging. I'd thought about buying the blue last time, but since all light blue eyeshadow looks green/teal on me, I figured I should try a safe color first (◡ ω ◡).. I liked the gold enough that I bought the blue today :-3, I want to try it sometime soon; I'll have to think of a good outfit 😋..!
Since getting more into normal makeup, I've been wanting a different mascara. I feel like none of them ever look good on me, or at least they never make my natural lashes have the appearance I'm wanting.. I'd seen a makeup artist online with really great lashes using only mascara, I couldn't remember which exact mascara she used (😔...) but I remembered her saying it's from Lancôme. Family, that brand has like 8 different mascaras available in Ulta. bro.. I got a travel size of whichever one seemed like their standard mascara. I'll use it sometime in these next few days and see how I like it, but I feel like I also need to look more into products that actual makeup artists (and not makeup influencers or people that just make beauty/tutorial content) are using and recommending. I also got the Lancôme lash primer. I like the Canmake one I have, but being a Japanese brand, it's very understated, so I'm hoping that this one being a Western brand, it'll be more dramatic, even as a primer.
My eyeshadow quest at Ulta was unsuccessful, but I was pretty sure there's an actual MAC store somewhere in the shopping center, and there was 😈🙏..!!
It was loud as fuck in that store. We spent a lot of time just looking at the eyeshadow singles, but I wanted to build a palette as opposed to buying a premade palette, or buying just singles.
They were sold out of the 6 base palette, but all of them are the same price, so I got the 9 base and just filled it with 6 ┐( ˘_˘)┌.
I wanted to get some of the same colors the woman on tiktok had used; she was showing how she'd do a really classic smokey eye, and I thought it was really beautiful and it looked like something I'd actually wear. My other goals besides that was I wanted to get colors that using any 2 together would compliment each other nicely, and that singularly I would still wear on a regular basis. I thought these 6 together would give me those 2 goals. There were a hundred different brown shades that would look good on me, and there was a purple I really liked, and I thought about a plain black, but I wanted to really try and be realistic since making a palette is expensive.
I want to try out the smokey eye like the woman on tiktok as soon as possible!! But I also want to try a more natural look with a lot of these products all together (◡ ω ◡)🙏. idk, we'll see :-3.
see you next time family, バイバイ😋
