Does anyone know how to do the opposite? That is, use makeup to make your face more masculine?

~contour~
maybe stay away from liner on the top of your lid, but i think waterline might work. idk tho so proceed with caution. use more nude colors, learn how to contour the fuck out of your cheek bones to make em ~pop~ and never underestimate the power of thick ass brow filling. do it. trust me

as for the color correcting, i recommend looking up which does what and corrects what, and writing it down. then keep it with your makeup so that in the future, when you need a red spot covered, or a hickey, you know whether to use green or purple or whatever lmao

When I played Oberon a few years ago, the director had me use mascera to make my eyebrows look more masculine

you can also buy brow mascara lmao, but if you don't have it or your brows are dark, normal mascara does work super well. if you have light brows you cannot. i strongly recommend against it

Lucky for me, I already have more masculine eyebrows. Definitely taking some of that other advice into account though.

if that's you in your pfp too, and you wear glasses, i know certain frames are really helpful for a more masculine look

Yeah, I do. I was actually thinking of getting a new pair or two soon. Mine are all scratched up lol

ooo. i don't have glasses lmao but i like that they don't have to plain af, which would probably suck. any ideas for the frames or color?

For Halloween I'm going as Wendy from Gravity Falls! plus a generic witch for a themed halloween party i'm attending but we don't talk about that
Also, I'm going to be getting new glasses frames soon. I have a pretty rectangular face; do you have any frame shapes that you think would suit me well?

you're gonna want detailing on the upper half but more lax on the lower, like the ones with the Chunk up top but not bottom. specialists(don't ask me who) say that they should be wider than your jawline for balance, like just slightly. you can wear cat eye frames and look incredible, which makes you the coolest

I think that for square-ish faces they recommend oval or round glasses. Personally I really hate oval and round glasses since I always end up being able to see around the frames, and then it's all blurry. I have rectangular/square glasses, but a more oval face

also why don't we talk about the halloween event lmao i wanna hear about this costume now

It's a fight club Halloween party, Crocs, they can't talk about it.

well that's boring. what's the point in rules if you don't break them? they're like glowsticks

Or pasta, if you have a small pot.

ooo. i don't have glasses lmao but i like that they don't have to plain af, which would probably suck. any ideas for the frames or color?

Yeah, actually. I prefer the rounded square shape frames. That's what I have now. My current glasses are a dark red. I found a cool pair that are roughly the same shape, and they're black, and fade into a brownish color below the eye. It's hard to explain, but they're pretty cool. Especially considering i was gonna just get a regular ol black pair for the versatility.
Need to find my prescription again though

These to be exact

that's a sexy pair of glasses my dude

Thanks! The frames are only like $10, so I'll almost definitely get them once I find that damn prescription again

Lonk preview bc I'm in class. I fucked up my wig last night trying to cut it and it looked like a Karen wig so I'm not wearing it lmao

the hat is made out of an old towel bc it's the only material I had

bro you look dope as hell oml

duuude thats sick

Ty!! I lost the back to my earring, but my Economics teacher let me finish painting my shield in his class!

friendly reminder to all you lovely people:

sometimes you have to take a step back and ask yourself 'am i wearing this outfit, or is this outfit wearing me'

it's all in the confidence, darlings. don't dress like shane dawson in his horrible music video 'this christmas life' don't do it please

My style is quite different than what I actually wear. I've always been overly modest at all costs, but I'm starting to ease up on that a little, as well as change my style in other ways. I'm not sure how my mom will take this, though, since she's used to me being excessively modest (and she herself possibly even more so). Any tips on how to ease her (and honestly myself) into this?

best things i can tell you? start with slightly shorter shirts. get long shirts and tie them up. wear shorts, highwaisted with crop tops especially. wear jackets over things like crop tops as you get into it, as well as overshirts and things, just to cover a lil bit more skin and make it seem less ~racy~. halter tops are good.

when it comes to makeup, start on the lighter spectrum of lipsticks and things, and push yourself into darker colors more and more. like. pink is fine. start with light pinks and make your way to corals and then deeper pinks. learn eyeliner if you dont already know how to do it. wear fun colors! false eyelashes if you have contacts, since i don't know how well they work with glasses

oh, and start altering your clothes. cut out bits of the back, use excess fabric you took off to lace it up, grommets exist, that kinda stuff. its fun

Thank you Crocs! Honestly tho, you give the best advice. I'm definitely gonna use some of this (I've actually said for a while now that "nothing's a crop top if your pants are high-waisted enough"). runs away to my closet excitedly

you are so right lmao, highwaisted pants are also great for your parents because thats a lot less skin than you'd show in lower waisted pants so–

and thank you fdhfh i'm glad to help! let me know if it works out!
