I think I'm pretty good with my own makeup, I had it professionally done and the artist put so much damn makeup on me I looked like a drag queen

@JarJarBoom I have had a similar experience, I hated the look. They used such dark colors for eyeshadow and did a horribly dark smokey eye, which doesn't go well for me, and on top of that of course the HUGE eyelashes. I couldn't wait to go home and get it all off. Took me almost 2 hours because they put so much on so thick!

@ImOnlyMe84 omg same...it took over 30 minutes to get everything off. I had to chisel the mascara off my eyelashes.

@JarJarBoom 馃槀 I think I lost quite a bit of mine that day. This was thankfully the one and only time. Now I learn via youtube, and practice. Never again will a pro (or so they think lol) will do mine again! 馃槀馃槀

@ImOnlyMe84 do you notice makeup artist are obsessed with putting massive amounts of lipstick? I felt like she made that my breakfast..
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom Omg haha yes!!! Mine was even a super dark lipstick which I could NEVER pull off, nor did I like. Not the mention the 15 lbs of foundation... I don't even hardly use foundation, and they added it like I was in need of a filler! 馃槀馃槀
@JarJarBoom ugh, I see that all the time where makeup artist will pack so much makeup on their clients. It always makes me cringe and immediately think about how gross their face must feel and how uncomfortable it is. It freaks me out to have that much makeup on my skin. 馃あ

It's grainy, and older, (crappy phone and camera) but believe me it was thicker than it looks!
JarJarBoom41-45, F
@ImOnlyMe84 it looks total glam...here is mine...i look really uncomfortable
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom Is that when you got it professionally done? The pic above is when I got mine done, and it felt so heavy and gross!
JarJarBoom41-45, F
@ImOnlyMe84 your pic looks super glam tho..haha.. yea..thats when I got mine professionally done.
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom Haha and I didn't ask for it! Personally I don't like that much and they did my hair and all, which was awesome but ugh too much and wrong colors! :P

Thank you :D


This is my norm I do... (current-like 3 weeks old I think)

@JarJarBoom Yours looks amazing! I think dark colors work for dark haired but im naturally a redhead so dark doesn't always look good, especially since I am fair skinned. :P You pulled off that red lip too! <3
JarJarBoom41-45, F
@ImOnlyMe84 your eyes look amazing!
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom Thank you!!! <3 馃槉

@ImOnlyMe84 I usually don't like wearing too dark of red, but I keep my makeup really basic...so the amount of makeup she put on me just didn't make me feel that comfortable ...she put so much smoke on my eyes I thought she was trying to set it on fire.

@JarJarBoom I got lucky with the light in our SUV. My husband was like really, and I told him, natural light silly. 馃槀
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom 馃槀馃槀 That's how I am. I mean my everyday is very simple. I do bold every ONCE in a blue moon, but usually I try and keep it as natural as possible.
JarJarBoom41-45, F
@ImOnlyMe84 men will never realize the value of natural lighting.
JarJarBoom41-45, F
@ImOnlyMe84 are you the type who kinda finds it insane to shop at sephora?
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom Haha no, they won't! He doesn't care, and he is lucky, he is extremely good looking without needing any assistance with lighting, or anything. I told him several times, and he just rolls his eyes and laughs at me. Men... some of them are lucky bastards 馃槀
JarJarBoom41-45, F
@ImOnlyMe84 men have it completely easy in order to look good...
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom YESSSS! I think my cousin sent me UD Electric palette for Christmas last year, and I was like Nooo that shit is expensive. She was like it's ok, I have like 40 or so from Sephora and tons of points, etc. I'm like I try to justify spending 15 on 200 eyeshadows once. I almost didn't do it, but my kids ended up getting it for me for mothers day last year.
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom Right!? Ugh I wish it were that easy for women! Sheesh, would make getting ready simple
JarJarBoom41-45, F
@ImOnlyMe84 Its ok, when someone else buys the palette. I just can't justify buying it for myself. I'm sticking to Rite-Aid
ImOnlyMe8436-40, F
@JarJarBoom I haven't bought any since. The only thing I get now a days is brow pomade, concealer, eyeliner and mascara. All only when needed. Hell my last concealer lasted me forever. I forgot how expensive they can be! 馃槱
