Sex Kitten Makeup
Who doesnât want to look like a kitten? Pouty, mysterious and effortlessly cool? The look is all about killer eyes, rounded lips and a devious smirk. There's a delicate balance you have to strike--can't be too cute, but can't be too harsh either. Here's how you get it.
Base
Let the skin peak through, lean towards a satiny finish with a skin tint or a light/med coverage foundation stick. Ideally under eyes are bare to let the dark circles peak through, but adding concealer is fine too.
Face
Blush should be lightly applied, but ideally a soft berry or pink color. Donât âsnatchâ the face but apply on the fullness of the cheeks. Remember we aren't going seductive wild cat, but mischievous and sweet kitten.
Brows
Keep the brows thin, bonus point's if they're lightened. They don't have to be bleached blonde but should be your skin tone or lighter. If you have that cherry cola hair color, use Nyx Powder Louder Brow Pencil in Black Cherry. Fill them in to be straighter with a slight arch for that slightly surprised and devious look.
Eyes
While its tempting to darken the whole eye and do a sharp wing if you want a real kittenish look, avoid completely closing up the upper and lower lash, instead darken the inner corner (keep it rounded not sharp) and thicken the outer corner for a shorter, sharp wing, if you have round eyes make top of the wing slightly downturned before flicking upward. When lining the lower lash line, keep it under the lashes. Mascara and lashes should be primarily applied to the outer corner. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Liner in Perversion is best for a super dark and creamy liner. If you want to dress it up more, apply a brown shadow or a bronzer to the crease.
Lips
Outline your lips with a grey or cool brown liner, (Mac Stone or Chestnut) focus mostly on the cupids bow and really define it. Donât completely round the top lip. When lining the bottom lip keep it softer. Fill in the lips with a nude close to your skin tone (Essence 8H Matte Liquid Lipstick in Silky Hazelnut). If you want a darker lip, use a berry or black liner ( Mac Caviar or Nightmoth) and follow the same steps above, then fill in with a blotted berry/plum color or a greyish-brown gloss like Mac Bittersweet Me.

If Looks Could Kill
OVERVIEW
A natural, dark-eye, soft glow makeup look with an emphasis placed on the eyes. Inspired by the Destroy Lonely song "if looks could kill", Mia Owens and Ayisha Mia.
PRODUCTS
Primer
Baby Powder
Foundation
Concealer
Pressed Powder
Setting Powder
Brow Gel
Brow Pomade
Black Eyeliner/ Pencil
Lash Glue/ Bonding Glue
Strip Lashes/ Cluster Lashes
Highlighter
Blush
Pink nude Lip Gloss
Brown Lip Liner
Clear Lip gloss
TOOLS
Powder Brush
Concealer Brush
Beauty Blender
Powder Puff
Blush Brush
BASE
Skincare done prior to makeup
Apply primer all over your face
#faithtip: use a powder brush to apply baby powder all over your face
Your face will look ashy and dry after this step, but applying foundation/tinted moisturiser will fix this
#faithtip: dampen your beauty blender with a setting spray or water for a soft glow, easier blending and a longer-lasting matte base
#faithtip: For more definition/ colour you can also use a small amount of a darker foundation as bronzer at the top of your forehead, your temples, cheeks and jaw (this will also help you to not not have bad flash back)
After blending in your foundation/tinted moisturiser, apply a concealer that is only slightly lighter than your skin tone under your eyes in an inverted triangle shape
Blend it in well with a small brush, following the triangle shape
When blending with the brush be sure to lightly blend out the line of concealer at the end of your eyes for a softer look
Take a powder brush and some pressed powder and apply all over your face
Now, apply setting powder to your under eyes, and apply some on your nose and a small line under your cheeks, using a powder puff or beauty blender.
BROWS
The brows in this look are quite thick and dark so we're filling them in. If dark brows don't suit you, you can lightly fill in gaps in your brows and use brow gel to hold them together.
Brush through your brows and shape them with brow gel
Use pomade and a small brow brush to draw a line on the bottom of your eyebrows, following the shape of your brows
Draw a similar line following the shape at the top of your brows
Fill your brows in within the lines
Brush through your brows again with brow gel
After this, apply concealer under your brows
The concealer should look like you have painted an outline of your eyebrows
Blend this in with a beauty blender
Use a beauty blender to apply loose powder underneath and on top of your brows, let it sit.
EYES
For this look, I feel that thick lash extensions/ clusters are the best but if you're not a fan of either try some trip lashes that have a thick lash extension look.
INSPO
STRIP LASHES
But for this step apply glue to strip lashes
Wave the lashes around for a bit so the glue dries a tiny bit and feels a little bit sticky
Place them on the lash line and adjust where needed (using tweezers or fingers)
youtube
youtube
CLUSTER LASHES
Strip lashes can also be cut into smaller pieces or use cluster lashes
Dip them into glue and wipe off the excess
Use tweezers to hold the lashes
Pull the top of your eyelid upwards so you can see underneath your eyelashes
#faithtip Wipe the glue on the part you are applying to then you can dip the lash in glue again before actually placing it underneath your lash
This make the lashes more firm and secure
Make sure it is not too close to your eye as this can be irritating
Fan your eyes if you can still feel wet glue
youtube
EYELINER
Use black eye pencil to draw a line a long your waterline of the inner corner of your eyes.
This makes your eyes standout and pop more.
BACK TO THE BASE
Using a powder brush, brush away/blend out the loose powder, under your eyes,
For your cheeks, your nose and around your eyebrows brush the setting powder away using pressed powder.
Blend VERY well, as the powder has been sat on your face for a while, so it will not move easily
Now apply a very light amount of blush along your cheekbones.
After this, apply a warm gold/bronze tone highlighter on the tip of your nose, and your brow bone.
Apply in moderation and blend slightly to keep the focus on the eyes and lips.
Now use setting spray (holding it not too close to your face) over your face until your face is wet. This will makeup your makeup hold and melt into your face.
LIPS
Use a brown lip liner to outline your lips
Black lip liner can also work but pencil very lightly.
Rub your lips together to make the line softer.
Now apply pink nude lipgloss in the middle and rub your lips together again
Clean up where you must before adding a coat of clear lip gloss to your lips.

fast and furious au!tiger!kook!reader
21, pops adderall like tic tacs, oldest child & only daughter, acts too good for john b but she wants that cookie so damn bad, hooking up with rafe & barry out of necessity because if she doesnât get dick she gets the urge to run somebody over, not catty so much as an introverted calculated bitch, operating on resentment for her family and spite for the rest of the world bc she feels superior, dreams of opening a tiger sanctuary, size QUEEN, grew up around bikes because her owns dad the biggest bike shop around, concerning blood kink, favorite meal is black coffee & cold medium rare steak, one sided beefing with kie bc sarah was her first love
colors: red and orange with green & yellow accents + black ofc.
scent: charonâs vail by argos fragrances
style: makeup staples are a 90âs red lip w/ a brown line, tightline eyeliner bottom and top lids, tubing mascara, clear brow gel and thatâs it, matte foundation that gives an old hollywood starlet vibe, shimmery bronzer, brick red blush. biker influence is heavy on her clothes (leather jackets, short SHORT jean shorts, scarves tied cutely around her neck of but of course theyâre silk, lots of rings (her favorite jewlery type really doesnât bother with much else!) likes her hair to be free spirited but perfectly in place in her mind, shiny and touched up just enough bc it can get out of control if left alone too long, organized chaos!
- her home screen and lock screens <3

omgg can we get a makeup products your !readers would use (or your routine + products) ? iâd love to see the sweetheart readers n lamb since i got some sephora gift cards for christmas and idk what to spend it on yet !!
iâll do my makeup routine products in the order that i use them, and then makeup products i think the sweetheart!readers and sheep would use <3 (you could find ALL of these products in-store at sephora, or on the app!)
my fav products in the order that i use them: glow recipeâs âwatermelon glow niacinamide dew dropsâ , glow recipeâs âplum plumpâ moisturizer , milk makeupâs âhydro gripâ primer , makeup by marioâs âmaster mattes eyshadow paletteâ (you could NEVER go wrong with this palette, itâs a staple for me) , nars ânatural radiant longwear full coverage foundationâ , makeup by marioâs âsoftsculpt cream contour and bronzer stickâ , nars âradiant creamy concealerâ , nars âpowder blushâ (specifically the one in the shade âorgasmâ) , huda beautyâs âeasy bake blurring loose baking & setting powderâ , and my lip combo just depends on how iâm feeling but my go-to more often than not is a pinkish brownish lip liner + a lip gloss, lip balm, or lip oil (i try to stay away from matte lipsticks and lipstick in general cause they dry out my lips) , the very last step is using patrick starrrâs âon âtil dawn mattifying waterproof setting sprayâ YOUR MAKEUP WILL NOT MOVE TRUSTTT
now onto the listed !readers..
pogue!sweetheart!reader: summer fridayâs âlip butter balmâ (specifically the shade âpink sugarâ) , elfâs âhalo glow liquid filter foundationâ
kook!sweetheart!reader: diorâs âbackstage glow face paletteâ , too faced âborn this way super coverage concealerâ , gisouâs âhoney infused hydrating lip oilâ
sheep!reader: she takes a lot of inspo from the 60âs so think of light colored eyeshadows (blues, whites), dramatic lashes, eyeliner, a bold lip, etcâŚ

kitty!reader makeup
kitty!reader loves a heavy eye look, typically leans for a more darker pallets with some shimmers but also enjoys some brighter colours;liner is a must whether its a more full glam look or natural
kitty!reader keeps her base more on the matte side, isnât a big fan of the glowy makeup look and prefers a more powdery finish; her blush isnât overly pigmented, enjoys a soft pop of colour; contour> bronzer, she likes to enhance the natural dimension in her face
kitty!reader usually goes for a more muted or nude lip since most of the focus is on the eyes but doesnât stray away from a glossy lip; she loves lip liners and lip sticks similar to her natural lip colour
kitty!reader looks like she has a heavier makeup look than most, typically because of the eye makeup but keeps her base very simple most of the time; is a concealer only girlie but does use foundations for special events

Season Of The Witch
Authorâs note: hi!! Saved the best for last, here is week 4/ the finale of our spooky series!! Hope you guys have enjoyed reading them as much as I did writing them. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Stay spooky Iâll see you guys back soon with tarot series #3 ;) vibes!!
Pairing: Jake x reader
Warnings: cursing, alcohol consumption, angst, lots of sexual content, minors DNI
Word count: 8k (oops)
Rain lightly drizzled as you stared out the window of your Uber. Orange and red luminescent glow lit up the pavement and the streets were lined with fall leaves. Despite approximately two shots of tequila coursing through your stomach you still felt odd about tonight.
âYou okay babe?â
That sounded foreign coming from his mouth. You forced a small smile and nodded.
âYes Matty. Iâm good.â
He smiled back and placed his hand on your thigh. You had been seeing Matt for 2 weeks now, give or take a few days.
âWhoâs party is this again?â He asked, turning his head to look at you.
âA friendâs. Iâve known him for what feels like forever.â You respond, smiling back on fleeting fond memories.
âAh.â Matt starts. âDoes this friend have a name?â
You nod and laugh. âHe does. Itâs Josh.â
âJosh.â Matt says slowly. âWell Iâm glad he allowed me to come. Iâm excited to be your date.â
âMe too.â You say with faux confidence.
A part of you felt bad. You already knew how this night was going to go, but Matt didnât. There wasnât anything wrong with Matt. He was conventionally very attractive. Dark curly hair, blue eyes, firm build, tall- god he hated when you went out with tall guys. Matt was a doctor. He was kind, smart, and funny. But there was one problem: he wasnât him.
You and Jake had just broken up again around a month ago. But you hadnât seen him in 3 weeks, since you last hooked up. You see, you and Jake were always on and off. Hot and cold. Burning passion with freezing intensity. At first things were fine. You met a few years ago and a drunken hookup in a bar flourished into a relationship. It was great for almost two years. Completely head over heels. Then one day it all went to shit. No real rhyme or reason, just a giant fight that you canât even remember. The problem was neither one of you could let go of the other. Tethered to each other like an eternal curse. Ever since you have bounced in and out of each otherâs lives like ping pong balls. Tonight was no exception. A Halloween party thrown by Josh. You had been invited before but Josh had texted you last week confirming you would still be there. Despite the shit with you and Jake the others felt like family to you.
âI believe weâre here.â The Uber driver says, putting the car in park.
âThanks man. Happy Halloween.â Matt says, pulling out his wallet and handing the guy a twenty.
Matt gets out of the car and rushes to open your door. He reaches in and grabs your hand, helping you out of the car. Your outfit was relentless. It was definitely the sluttiest outfit you had ever put on your body. That was done intentionally. You wore a black latex bodycon dress, skin tight with your breasts pushed up and spilling out of the top. The material barely hit your mid thigh. You wore matching latex black platform calf boots with it. Your hair was full and blown out with loose curls and glitter hairspray. You had on a full face of sultry makeup, heavy on the eyelashes, bronzer, and lipgloss. You were calling yourself a witch, though the only indication of that would be the small black pentagram choker you had on with matching earrings. Your whole body was shimmering with glowy body oil and your nails were black almond shaped. You almost suffocated yourself with the amount of perfume you applied. It was the most extra you had ever been, but Halloween was your favorite holiday and seeing Jakeâs face would be priceless. When Matt had come over to your apartment he had to adjust his pants after a mere hug in this get up. Matt was dressed as a zombie doctor. He had just tattered up a pair of his old scrubs, but he did look good. You saw their house illuminated with lit pumpkins and purple lights. Soft thuds lit up the house as you heard Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix get louder with every step. The rain had stopped and Matt had his arm linked with yours to balance you up the driveway. When you finally got up to the porch you adjusted your dress before opening the door, you were beyond knocking. The smell of fog machines, marijuana, various liquors, and sweat assaulted your senses as you entered the house. It was dark, only lit by soft automatic candle lights or fluorescent orange string lights. It was loud as Hendrix continued to billow out of the speakers.
âOh shit!â
You heard from across the room, your eyes darted to see Sam beelining towards you. You grinned and embraced him in a hug.
âFuck look at you.â He said, giving you a twirl. âSo spooky.â
You let out a laugh. âThanks Sammy. I dig your costume too. Eh- what exactly is it?â
He stares at you blankly. âIâm obviously a Niagara Falls tourist⌠that fell in.â
He points towards his outfit, cargo shorts, a white âI <3 Niagara Fallsâ t-shirt with blood smeared, a broken camera around his neck, a yellow tattered poncho also blood stained, and a fake bloody nose.
âI fucking love it.â You said with a laugh. âVery original.â
âThere you are!â
You see Josh heading towards you, heâs dressed up as Elvis. âI was starting to think you had bailed on me.â
You smile and hug him. âNever.â
âOoh you look hot.â Josh compliments, then looks to the side of you. âOh sorry. Whoâs this?â
You had almost forgotten Matt was standing there for a moment. âJosh, Sam, -this is Matt. Heâs my date.â You say with a smile.
Sam smirks as Josh throws his hand out to introduce himself.
âHey man, thanks for letting me come. Iâm excited to get to meet all of her friends.â Matt announces politely, shaking hands with Josh.
Sam snickers. âOh yeah. Youâll enjoy meeting everyone. Listen hot stuff, Iâve got to refill the fog machines and find Daniel. Iâll catch up with you later.â He quickly pecks the top of your head and scurries off to the crowd.
Josh smiles at Matt. âHeâs a little shit, pay him no mind. You guys should hit the bar and grab some drinks. If the good shit is gone you know where to find the stash. Have fun you crazy kids.â Josh says, patting your back and starting to walk off yelling at someone to put a vase down.
âShall we?â You ask Matt, taking his hand.
âLead the way.â He replies with a smile.
You were only at the entrance of the house, so you tried to keep it cool and not scan around for Jake. You knew heâd be slinking around here somewhere with a drink in hand. You pushed past bodies and smiled when you saw Danny in the kitchen making drinks. As you headed that direction you saw him out of the corner of your eye. You only caught a brief glimpse of him in your peripheral, but you could feel his eyes searing into you. He was standing by the bathroom door, arms folded, and drink in hand just as you had predicted. You felt emboldened by that.
âHey Matty?â You fluttered your lashes at him and got closer to his ear. âIâm going to run to the bathroom and fix my lipgloss. Would you mind getting us drinks? See the guy with the long curly hair? His name is Danny, heâs a friend. Tell him youâre with me and heâll hook us up.â
He looked down at you focusing on your lips and placed his hand on the small of your back. âYeah of course. Iâll meet you over there.â
You smiled up at him and nodded, before parting ways. You knew Jake was still watching you. You headed straight for the bathroom, not even bothering to glance at him. He beat you to the bathroom door.
âSorry doll. Out of order. You can go use mine though.â That cocky grin spread on his face.
You scoffed and looked at him. âThey made you bathroom police tonight? Thatâs quite a fitting job for you Jake.â
He smiled briefly at your banter. âFunny. What exactly are you wearing?â
âDid you get confused again? Itâs Halloween, this is a costume.â You said, in a patronizing tone.
Jakeâs eyes raked all over your body as he bit his lip. âA costume huh? I think dental floss would have been less revealing.â
âOh please. As if you have room to talk. What are you? A half assed pirate again?â
He flicked his eyes up to you. âWhat is your costume? A whore?â
You rolled your eyes. âYes Jake, Iâm a whore. Thatâs my costume. Youâve cracked the code with that big brain yet again.â
He looks straight in your eyes, somewhat of a playful tone creeps out. âYeah? Tell me something I donât know.â
âHa.â You state blankly. âActually Iâm a witch.â
You point to your pentagram necklace and Jake chuckles.
âI said, tell me something I donât know, doll.â
He reaches up and lightly touches your necklace. That was enough to send goosebumps up your spine, but you would never give him the satisfaction of knowing that.
He took a step closer to you. âWanna just skip all of this and go upstairs?â
You felt something bubble inside of you. But before you could retort someone came up right next to Jake, putting her hand on his arm and handing him a cup.
He smirked at you and glanced back at her. âThanks Mere.â Then he wrapped his arm around her. Fucker.
She was short and petite with a blonde bob and fair skin, dressed up as Alice from Alice in Wonderland in a store bought costume.
This was one of the sick and twisted games you would play. Dangling other people in front of each other. You had only done it two other times and it drove Jake crazy. The first, all you had done was flirt with a guy in a bar and Jake snatched you up and brought you home to remind you who you belonged to. The second, you had gone on a date with someone right next to their studio. It didnât take long for Jake to see your car and catch on to your antics. Jake had done this on countless occasions. Flirting, using his undeniable charm on poor women he had no intentions with. These things never went really far. Just enough to piss you off before he inevitably took you home. You tried to pretend that it didnât bother you, but he knew how bad it did.
You tried not to glare at her.
âYouâre welcome. The beer by the fire is so much better than whatâs in the kitchen.â She beams at him. Gross.
Then she turns towards you, absolutely judging what youâre wearing. She made a reactionary face that she quickly tried to hide. But you saw it. Before any words could be exchanged Matt is by your side again.
âHere you go babe.â
He hands you a cup full of something that Danny had made and you smile up at him.
âThank you Matty.â You put a little bit of a show on, but not too much. Yet.
You glance back over at Jake who is visibly scowling at you.
âOh sorry. Matt this is Jake and- Mere is it?â
The blonde extends her hand. âMeredith.â
âMeredith.â You say with a smile. âHow long have you known Jake?â
She seems a little taken aback by the question, you could care less.
âWell I guess only a few days.â She admits with a laugh. âWe met through some mutual friends. How do you know each other?â
You smiled at her. âOh same!â Then you look directly into Jakeâs eyes. âMutual friends.â
Meredith glances oddly between you and Jake. She clears her throat and looks at Matt. âAnd how long have you two been together?â She asks, trying to change the subject.
Matt smiles and wraps his hand around your waist. âAlmost three weeks now. Iâve got to say, no complaints. Time flies when youâre having fun.â
Shit had it been three weeks? You glanced over at Jake who was shooting daggers at you. You snapped yourself out of your thoughts and smiled up at Jake and Meredith.
âWell it was lovely to meet you. Weâll get out of your hair. Donât want to intrude. Have a good night Jake.â
He makes a face at you as you grab Mattâs hand and lead him away. Matt looks at you slightly confused once you find a spot.
âWhat?â You ask with a shrug.
He smiles and shakes his head. âNothing. I take it youâre not a fan of them?â
You breathe out a laugh. âNow why would you say something like that?â
He grins at you. âSo mischievous. What am I going to do with you?â
You step closer to him and put your hand on his chest. âHopefully something inappropriate.â
His eyes were filled with lust as he took you in. This is the most forward you had ever been with him, but you knew Jakeâs eyes were still on you. You leaned in and placed a small kiss on his cheek. His hands wrapped around your waist, but you pulled away quickly, shooting him a smile. His cheeks had dusted a light shade of pink as he bashfully grinned back at you. You saw Jake already heading towards you, but you took Mattâs hand and led him outside.
âLetâs see the fire!â You half yelled over the music.
âIâll follow you anywhere.â He responded in a giddy tone.
You lead him outside, quick to evade Jakeâs interruption. There were only a few people standing outside, Danny being one of them.
âHi stranger.â You said, coming up behind him.
He spun around on his heels and gave you a knowing smile. âThere she is. I take it, you liked your drink?â
You nodded. âBest damn bartender at every event.â
He bows at you. âI aim to please. Iâve already met Matt here. Seems like a stand up guy.â
Matt chuckles at him as Danny gives him a glance.
âYouâre right.â You respond. âHey you wanna make sâmores?â
âIâll get them. You guys finish your conversation.â Matt offers, rubbing your back and heading to the fire.
Danny looks down at you.
âWhat?â You ask.
âHe seems nice.â Danny offers.
âHe is.â You say, glancing at Matt dipping three marshmallows in fire.
âUh-huh.â Danny pauses. âAnd how does Jake feel about that?â
You shift your eyes back to Danny. âIt doesnât matter how he feels about it.â
Danny sucks in his cheeks and lets out a laugh. âRight. You two are trouble, you know that?â
âOh Iâm well aware.â You retort. âDid Sam ever find you?â
Danny sips his beer. âI havenât seen him in- I dunno an hour maybe?â
âOh. Well when I arrived he was looking for you. Something about fog machines?â
Danny cuts his eyes. âOh hell no. I am not doing that shit again. That was his job.â
You chuckle. âSounds like Sam.â
âFuck. There he is. Iâm dipping before he catches a whiff that Iâm out here. Donât rat on me.â Danny says, holding his finger up playfully at you.
You salute him. âScoutâs honor.â
âGood luck with that.â Danny points towards Matt.
You wave him off and he quickly walks the other way toward the house.
Sam catches your sight and approaches you. âYou seen Daniel?â
You purse your lips at him. âNope.â
âSlippery fucker.â He says, barely above a whisper.
You cackle.
âOh by the way Jakeâs pissed. Heâs slamming shit in the kitchen. Want a beer?â
You let out a breath. âMost definitely.â
Sam heads towards the keg just as Matt is making his way back to you with three sâmores.
âWhere did Danny go?â
âBartender emergency.â You lie, taking the sâmore he made for you. âThank you.â
Sam came back over and handed you a cup of beer before patting your back and heading back to the house. If you had to guess he saw Danny in a window.
Matt knitted his brows together and gave you a strange smile. âYour friends are weird.â
You chuckled. âYou donât know the half of it.â
You and Matt spent around thirty more minutes outside enjoying the fire, sâmores, and beer. Before long you had gotten chilly and wanted to go back inside. The drink Danny had made you along with the beer had started to make you feel a little fuzzy. Once back inside you spotted Jake at the beer pong table with Meredith. He had just sunk a shot and she jumped for joy when he did. Gross again.
âHey Iâm going to go pee! Iâll be right back.â You say, giving Matt a heads up.
He nods and you head for the original bathroom you had gone to. Once inside you peed, washed your hands, and stared at yourself in the mirror. A part of you wished you had just stayed home. As much as the thrill of being with Jake excited you, seeing him with Meredith made you feel like shit. You hated that it was this way. When you two were good, you were great. The highest highs and in turn, the lowest lows. Neither one of you were effective communicators, putting your pride above all else. You fluffed your hair and went to open the door, but to your surprise someone had barged in. Jake, with a wicked smile on his lips.
âNeed some help in here?â
You crossed your arms. âCertainly not from you.â
âOh tough girl, are we?â He steps closer to you and puts his face inches from yours. âI know what shit youâre trying to pull. Cut it out.â
You glare at him. âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
He backed you up to the sink and put both arms out next to you, propping himself on the vanity while sinking closer towards you. âYes you do. Tell your friend to fucking leave.â
You smirk at him. âNo. I donât think I will.â
He slides his hand down to your thigh and you feel like you could explode.
âDonât start with me.â He warns, gripping at your flesh.
You swallow hard and look at him. âWeâre not together Jake. I can do whatever or should I say whoever I want.â
That renders him speechless as his eyes bore into yours.
You remove his hand and get out from under him heading to the door. You turn back around and laugh.
âOh and you should get Mere to do something about⌠that.â You tease, motioning to the beginning of an erection bulging in his pants.
Before he can respond you walk out and close the door. You take a deep breath and adjust your dress before returning to your date.
âTequila shot?â
Matt smiles and nods. Then youâre heading off into the kitchen. You spot Josh and yell âtequila!â It doesnât take him long to reach you.
âLet me get the whole gang, start pouring the good shit!â Josh yells, before diving back into the crowd.
You smiled and headed to their pantry, bending down to find a liquor cabinet with a keypad on it. You type in the four digit code and grab a brand new bottle of Casamigos. It was your favorite. Then you shut the cabinet and head back to the island, reaching for the shot glasses. Danny and Sam arrive and begin to start on the shots.
âWe need seven right?â Danny asks.
âYeah. I assume when Josh finds Jake heâll bring blondie with him.â Sam answers, digging the pre-cut limes from the refrigerator.
Sure enough Sam was right. Josh brought back Jake and Meredith, his hand was guiding her on her back.
âAlright, gather around everyone!â Josh announced. âTo the original crew and a couple of new friends. Happy Halloween you fuckers! I love you all!â
You giggle and yell back, âCheers!â in unison with everyone else. You slam the shot down on the island before shooting the liquid down. It burns but in the best way possible. Meredith chokes hers down, spilling it down her chin. Amateur. Then Jake does something that catches even you off guard. He looks down at her and swipes his thumb over her bottom lip cleaning up the spilled tequila. Then he cuts his eyes over to you. You chew on your cheek and lock eyes back with him. Sam must have noticed because he let out a small laugh.
One thing about Sam? He loved to start shit. It was one of the reasons you loved him so much.
âHey sexy witch!â Sam called over to you. âHow about one of your specialties tonight? I mean itâs only right that the newbies get to bare witness.â
Jakeâs expression stiffened, but you softened and smiled.
âPour it up Sammy.â
Josh and Danny collectively âooooohâdâ and slapped the island. Sam began to grab a shot of birthday cake vodka, topping it with whipped cream. Then he sets it down before you.
âYou know the rules mama, no hands.â Josh reminds, while you nod.
You tuck your hair behind your ears and place your hands behind your back, holding your wrists. Matt looks down at you with his eyebrows slightly raised, you just wink at him and part your lips. You wrap your lips around the rim of the shot glass and just for a split second lock eyes with Jake before sucking your cheeks in. You propel the shot glass back and stand up while the sweet liquid pours down your throat. You take the shot glass out of your mouth while the guys around you, minus Jake, erupt cheer. You can feel a tinge of whipped cream on the corner of your mouth, you start to wipe it but Matt beats you to it.
âLet me.â Matt says, taking his pointer finger and wiping the small white spot.
Without thinking you take his finger into your mouth and suck the remnants off.
Matt takes a sharp inhale.
Josh clears his throat and mutters âOh fuck.â Before turning his boisterous self back on. âThe talent! Thank you for blessing us with such a sight. Sam, Danny, come with me really quick. I need help with these speakers back here.â
You glance over and Sam makes wide eyes at you while smiling. Then all three of them trudge off, just leaving the four of you in silence.
âWanna go dance?â You ask Matt, pulling on his arm.
âLead the way babe.â
You take him in the crowd where everyone is dancing. If you were sober maybe you would have been embarrassed with your forward actions, but as the liquor sloshed around in your stomach you couldnât care less. You two were close, really close. Swaying on each other. Matt leaned down and placed a kiss on your neck. Then his hands trailed further down your body until they met your ass, giving it a light squeeze. You looked up in surprise at him. He leaned forward and whispered into your neck, âWanna get out of here?â
Before you could respond you felt a firm grip on your arm. You spun around and there was Jake, seething.
âLetâs fucking go.â He growled as he pulled you away.
Matt furrowed his brows and went to grab your other wrist. You stopped and Jake turned around with a death stare. âGet your fucking hands off of her. Didnât your mother ever teach you not to touch things that donât belong to you?â
Matt let go and continued to stare at you in disbelief. Your feet continued to move with Jake as you mouthed âsorry.â
Jake didnât let go or loosen his grip as he continued to drag you through the crowded house. He took you upstairs and towards a familiar door. Once inside he slammed his door and locked it before turning his attention towards you. He was mad. Furious even. Possibly the most upset you had ever seen him.
âAre you fucking kidding me?â He yells with a scowl plastered on his face.
âOh fuck off.â You say, completely disinterested.
âYouâre going to bring some random fuck to my house and then rub all up against him blatantly in front of me?â
You laugh. âWhat about your little Meredith? You wanna put your hands all over her and when I am enjoying myself with another person itâs a problem?â
Jake scoffs. âI wasnât letting her kiss all over me and feel me up!â
âSo what? Let her.â You spit.
Jake looks at you pointedly. âYou need to learn who you belong to.â
You let out a maniacal laugh. âInform me Jake? Who do I belong to? Because it sure as hell isnât you!â
You see his face clouding with darkness. âThatâs where youâre wrong. You do belong to me.â He steps up closer to you. âYouâre mine.â
That causes warmness to swell in your stomach, but you wouldnât let him know that.
âNot anymore.â You say with as much confidence as you can muster.
âDonât say that.â He says taking a step towards you. âItâs a lie. We donât lie to each other. Remember?â
You scoff. âI donât think we have ever followed through with that promise to one another. Are we done here? Iâm getting bored.â
Jake half smirks at you. âBored?â
You glare back at him unimpressed. âYeah, bored. I didnât stutter.â
âBored⌠Thatâs funny. Donât act like you didnât wear this little.. outfit to get my attention. You know you could wear a trash bag and my eyes would be on you.â
You roll your eyes trying to keep a blank stare on your face, but internally youâre on fire.
âIt turns you on that Iâm jealous, doesnât it?â He asks.
You suck in your cheeks.
âYou knew exactly what would happen when you brought him here. You knew exactly where you would end up tonight regardless, but you still brought him here.â
You crack a smile at him. âI brought a tall hot guy on a date and then you cockblocked me. Thatâs what happened.â
Jake steps closer to you until his body is touching yours. He lightly grabs your wrists and pins them to the wall. His eyes scan your face for some sort of reaction. Youâre falling apart trying to remain unaffected. You can feel your heart thudding as his breath fans over your neck. âLetâs see how long it takes for this little confidence facade to crack. Shall we?â
âFuck yo-â
Then his lips crash onto yours. Slow and warm, which is the exact opposite of how you expected. Suddenly that hardened exterior has cracked entirely as you kiss him back with every ounce of passion in your body. Fuck, you missed his lips on you.
He takes his mouth off of yours and stares down into your eyes. Neither one of you dare say a word. Then he goes back in, kissing you feverishly. His hands grab at your waist and pulls you closer into him. Your tongues meet and you swear you could feel fireworks throughout your whole body. The truth is, no one could ever make you feel the way that you felt with Jake. This was just further proof. Jakeâs calloused hands begin to rub up your thigh as you take in sharp breaths from his mouth. He fumbles around with the hem of your very short and very tight dress. Finally he makes his way up your dress spreading your legs apart. He takes two fingers and swipes them over your drenched clothed center and you shutter at the feeling. You can feel that smirk on his face while your lips are still connected. He bites your bottom lip and pulls away.
âLook at you. Already making a mess of yourself.â
You take a breath. âYeah, Matt did a number on me on the dance floor.â
You see Jake let out a small laugh at your boldness while he also clenched his jaw. He was right, jealousy did turn you on.
âJust when I thought you were going to be sweet.â He says, popping the two fingers in his mouth. âStrip.â
You cross your arms at him.
âStrip. Now. Iâm not asking again.â
He backs away from you and you give him a glare. Youâre going to do exactly what he says because youâre weak for him and beyond turned on.
His eyes stare intensely at you while you reach back and grab the small zipper. You tug it down and begin to peel yourself out of the dress. You see him take a noticeably deeper breath when your breasts are freed. You grab the material from around your waist and shimmy out of it, dropping it to the floor. Only in your boots and black silky thongs, you step out of the dress and look at Jake.
âGoddamn.â He says lowly, raking his eyes up and down your body.
You reach down to begin removing your boots when Jake speaks up. âNo. Leave them. You wanna dress up like a whore tonight so Iâm going to fuck you like one. Knees.â
You swallow the excitement that draws up your throat from that statement while you take a few steps closer to him. You sink to your knees and Jake reaches down and softly runs his finger through your hair. He reaches down and hooks your chin under his pointer finger.
âSo pretty and this makeup looks so good. Unfortunately itâs about to get ruined.â
He unbuckles his pants and lets them hit the floor, heâs already hard. You look up at him waiting for instruction. His hand returns to your face running his thumb along your lips.
âYou know the rules mama. No hands.â He spits, referencing earlier.
You look up at him and nod, opening your mouth and sticking your tongue out. He slightly twitches at your action. The way you affected him always turned you on even more. His cock grazes your tongue and he already lets out a breath. You lick a hot stripe up his length then swirl your tongue around the tip and his hand finds the back of your head.
âQuit teasing.â
You take him into your mouth, rolling your tongue around as he travels further back into your mouth.
âFuck.â He lets out through gritted teeth.
He sinks your head further until you gag lightly, then he pulls you back. You begin to bob up and down around him while his grip in your hair tightens. You glance up and make eye contact with him through your lashes while hollowing your cheeks around him. He looked so fucking hot. Brows furrowed, a sheen amount of sweat broke out on his skin, face pinched in concentration and bewilderment. But when your eyes meet his he lets out a groan and pulls you off of him so he doesnât finish already. You let out a small laugh and he looks down at you still on your knees.
You start to wipe the corner of your mouth. âWhatâs wrong Jakey? Made a mess of yourself already?â
He smirks at you. âThat mouth is going to get you into trouble. On the bed. Ass up.â
You get to your feet and make your way to the bed, propping your ass up like you were told. Youâre already throbbing with anticipation, you know when he gets like this he fucks you mericilessly. You feel him step up behind you and widen your legs. He runs his hands all up and down your ass before giving it a swift smack. You let out a whimper. Then, he quickly rips your panties down to your knees. Youâre expecting him to ease himself into you, but to your surprise you hear him get down on his knees. He uses both of his arms to pull your ass back straight to his face. He begins kissing the inside of the back of your thighs and youâre already worked up. He flattens his tongue and licks up your center, popping his tongue at your most sensitive spot. He continues to lick and suck until youâre gripping his sheets for dear life. When he adds two fingers, youâre done for. You can feel that heat burning in your core coming to a high, you clench your eyes shut as your legs begin to shake.
âFuck-â you moan.
Just as that feeling is about to bubble into euphoria, Jake stops. You whip your head around and he stands up and wipes the slick off his face.
âJake!â
âShhh. You know I always take care of you.â He smirks. âCome here pretty girl.â
He flips you over and climbs on top of you. He leans down and kisses down your neck while his erection presses on your stomach. Slowly but surely he makes his way down to your breasts, kissing and nipping at your nipples. You indulge in the sensation and your hands quickly wrap into his long hair. He reaches down and rubs himself all over you, you both let out breathy moans. He finally sinks into, slowly, letting you adjust. You can feel your eyes roll into the back of your head as he picks up the pace. His mouth sloppily meets yours. Youâre both moaning into each other's mouth as you wrap your knees around him. You lace your fingers into his hair giving it a light tug. This causes him to lift his head slightly and he groans while diving back down to kiss your neck.
âOh god- fuck.â You whine, as his mouth and tongue roughly suck at your throat.
âNothing compares to you. Nothing ever will.â Jake pants into your ear. âYouâre like a drug to me. Iâll swallow you every night for the rest of my life baby.â
He knows when heâs vocal like that it sends you into oblivion. And here you are right on the edge.
âJake-â you whine.
âI know, baby. I know. Iâm right there with you. Ah fuck.â
Jake slams one of your hands down onto the bed, lacing his fingers with yours. Your other hand is gripping his shoulder for dear life. His hair is tickling your face and shoulders adding to the sensation. That familiar burn is back and you know this time that flame will spread to every orifice of your body. Jake is also rapidly becoming undone as his strokes become faster but more sloppy. You throw your head back into the pillow and let go as you feel yourself leave your body for a moment. Jake finishes just as youâre beginning to recover, heâs a mess of curse words and heavy breathing. He stays on you, as you can feel both of your hearts beating rapidly. You both stay like this for a few minutes, just trying to recover.
Finally he gives your forehead a kiss and then rolls off staring up at the ceiling for a moment. Itâs quiet, but then Jake sits up and grabs a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his nightstand. He lights up a Camel and takes a puff before passing it to you. You let out a small laugh and accept it, inhaling the minty flavor. Jake tilts his head to the side and stares at you. It seems as if he is studying every characteristic about you. Like he had forgotten how beautiful you looked after he ruined you.
You exhale and turn to him. âWhat?â
He shrugs. âI like looking at you.â
You scoff a little.
âI do.â He insists. âIâve missed you.â
âFunny way of showing it.â You retort.
âI donât want to do this tonight. But I would like to have a conversation in the morning about it. Would you like to go back down or stay up here and watch scary movies?â
You think about continuing the harshness with him, but truthfully you donât want to. âUp to you.â
Jake sucks in a breath. âOkay, can we go back down there and cook a pizza? Iâll start kicking the randoms out and then we can come back up here and put on a movie. Thereâs a new slasher film on Netflix, I thought you might like it.â
You didnât have the heart to tell him that you had already seen it, so you just smiled and said: âYeah, okay.â
Jake matches your smile then leans over and plants a kiss lightly on your mouth before rolling off the bed. He threw you a t-shirt before heading to his bathroom. You finally peel your boots off and pad into the bathroom with him. He opens up his medicine cabinet and grabs a pack of your feminine wipes. He kept them here, which means that all of your things would still be in that cabinet. You try not to smile as he sets them down on the counter and leaves to give you privacy. You stare at yourself in the mirror and try to fix your makeup. You werenât sure if you were buzzed off of the alcohol or something else entirely. After fixing yourself, you exit the bathroom to see Jake plopping a pair of his slippers on the floor for you.
âProbably donât wanna walk out there barefoot.â
You nod and accept the slippers. âWhat about-â
Jake cuts you off before you can finish. âHeâs gone. Theyâre both gone. Sam escorted them out.â
âOh.â You say plainly.
Jake narrows his eyes at you. âTry not to sound so disappointed.â
That elicits a giggle from you and Jake playfully rolls his eyes, then grabs your hand. He laces his fingers with yours and leads you out of his room.
To your surprise, the party had thinned out significantly. How long were you two up there? It seemed like maybe thirty minutes but it looked as if hours had passed. Music still bumped as you made your way downstairs in nothing but Jakeâs shirt and shoes. You scanned the room and didnât see Matt or Meredith. That gave you a sigh of relief. Eventually you would have to speak with Matt and apologize. You felt a little bad as he was nice, but he wasnât Jake. That would always be a flaw in any potential partner you could ever have. One that you werenât sure you could ever get past.
Jake took you to the kitchen and preheated the oven yelling at a few people to âfuck off and get outâ along the way.
You heard a familiar voice echo towards you. âJake are you telling my guests to fuck off and get out? Itâs only 2am whatâs wrong with y-â Josh pauses when he sees you standing there in his twinâs shirt and a smile spreads across his face. âSo you two have worked things out I assume.â
You blush a little feeling silly for the show earlier in front of everyone. You see Sam and Danny approaching Josh.
âWell well. What do we have here?â Sam asks, glancing between you and Jake.
âIâm shocked- truly.â Danny adds, facetiously.
âMhm.â Jake answers only to Josh, taking your hand back in his. âAlso yeah itâs 2am itâs time to wrap this shit up.â
âYeah which is why we need to keep this party going all night because you two have weeks of sexual frustration to let out!â Sam exclaimed.
âTo be fair Sam, by the look of it, they already have.â Danny snickers.
Sam erupts with laughter. âThat wonât be the last of it. Remember that last cabin trip we took? Theyâre like bunnies-â
âOkay fuck enough! Keep drinking, itâs obviously making you all more intelligent. Just keep everyone down here.â Jake concedes, shaking his head.
Josh laughs. âWell you heard the man! Party stays down stairs everyone!â He shouts, although no one pays him hardly any mind.
Sam slinks by you and wraps his arm around you while Jake throws the pizza in the oven. âFeel better?â
You roll your eyes at him. âHush.â
He gives you shoulder a squeeze. âIâm just teasing. Iâm glad youâre back around. Theyâre all so dreadfully boring.â
Jake huffs at him. âDonât you all have a party to get back to or something?â
âGood point.â Danny says. âHave fun you two. Be safe!â Then he heads off to the crowd with Sam close behind shouting: âWhat he said! Daniel, wait! The fog machines!â
Josh chuckles at them and walks over to you. He wraps you in a hug and kisses your forehead. âWe have missed you mama.â
âWatch it.â Jake warns half heartedly.
Josh scoffs. âOh please. Also let it be known that Jake has done nothing but sulk around for the past few weeks! He made me text you to remind you about this party tonight!â
Jake grins at him and playfully shoves him along. âGet out of here.â
Josh throws his hands up and winks at you before diving back into the party.
Jake shakes his head and looks at you.
You grin back up at him. âIs that true?â
He blushes and takes your hand. âAsk me about it in the morning.â
**
Sunlight bathed in through the splits in the curtains. You half opened one eye, still trying to recover from your slumber. You turned your head to catch a glimpse of Jakeâs alarm clock. It read: OCT. 31ST 10:42am. Jake was still asleep, softly snoring next to you as his arm draped over your side. Last night had ended quite perfectly. You had taken your pizza upstairs, watched that movie, and fucked two more times. It was almost 6am when you both had finally dozed off. You smiled a little when you thought of it, but that smile faded when you realized how full your bladder was. You attempted to wiggle out from under Jakeâs arm, but he just pulled you in closer to him.
âMorning.â He says with his eyes still closed and a grin on his face.
âGood morning Jake. I really need to pee.â
He pulled you even closer and started kissing all over your face and neck. âCâmon stay in bed.â
You giggled. âJake!â
He groaned. âOkay, off you go.â
You bolted up as soon as he released you and he laughed. After peeing you washed your hands and had yourself a glance in the mirror. There were purplish love bites all over your neck and collarbone. They wouldnât be fun to cover up. You grabbed your toothbrush and started brushing your teeth. Jake opened the door, illuminated in sunlight with a smile on his face. He stepped in and hugged you from behind, giving you a peck on the cheek. This seemed a little unlike him, but you went with it. He grabbed his toothbrush and said âBreakfast?â
You hummed and nodded.
After you had made yourself somewhat presentable you went through the clothes on the floor to try and find your dress from the night before.
âWhat are you doing?â Jake asked with knitted brows.
âLooking for my clothes.â You replied.
He sucked in his cheeks. âIâll give you a pair of my sweatpants and a hoodie. You can wear my slippers too.â
âJake Iâll look homeless.â You say with a laugh.
âNo you wonât. I like it when you wear my clothes.â He offers with a smile.
You playfully roll your eyes and accept his offer.
To your surprise you come downstairs to a somewhat clean house. Josh is poking about the kitchen, wiping down counters and softly humming to himself.
âGood morning you two- ugh! Fuck!â
You make a face at him. âWhat?â
âWhat happened to your neck? It looks like you were attacked by an octopus. Holy shit.â He states, dumbfoundedly staring at you.
âGotta mark your territory. Right?â Jake interjects with a smirk.
Josh makes a fake gagging sound as Jake grabs your arm and leads you to the door.
âSam was right! God thatâs something I never thought I would say.â Josh yells after you two head for the door.
**
You crunched the leaves beneath your feet into a 24 hour breakfast diner that you and Jake had frequented before. There were little spider webs and skeletons hung up everywhere. Jake had ordered you both the Halloween special that had consisted of some sort of pumpkin coffee, witchy waffles, and batty bacon.
âSo.â Jake said as he sipped his coffee.
âSo?â You answered.
He lets out a huff. âYou make me nervous.â
You laughed at him. âNo I donât.â
âYes you do.â
Before you can speak he continues. âOkay fuck it here it goes. So yes I asked Josh to text you. In fact, I bugged the piss out of him about it for days. I did sulk for those three weeks. And when I saw you walk in yesterday with that fuck I felt a feeling that I never want to feel again.â
You swallow and glance up at him. âOhâŚâ
He huffs again and pushes his hair back. âWhat Iâm trying to say here is- I want you. I want you in every way all of the time. I donât want to keep fueling the stupid fights and breakups. Iâm done with that. Iâve done a lot of reflecting and⌠well, I love you. Iâve loved you for years and I want to keep on loving you for years. I want us to be together and actually give it a shot. A permanent shot. You and me.â
You blink and stare at him, entirely unsure what to even say. You and Jake had technically been together for years and this was the first time you had heard him say he loved you stone cold sober. You felt like you could vomit, but in a good way?
âPlease say something.â He spits out, slightly anxious.
âJake- IâŚâ You take a breath and swallow. âI love you too.â
A visible sigh leaves his body as that perfect smile creeps over his face.
âBut Iâm scared. Iâm scared that youâre going to hurt me. That weâre going to hurt each other.â
He grabs your hand and laces it with his. âI know. A big part of that is my own fault. But Iâm serious. I want to try. I want to communicate with you. I want to make it work. I want you.â
You chew on your lip, still unsure of his words. It felt surreal, like you were in a dream. You had been waiting for years to hear this come out of his mouth. Slowly, you nod your head and muster up a very small âOkay.â With a smile.
Jake jolts up and leans across the table grabbing your jaw and pulling you in for a kiss. Then he puts his forehead up against yours and mutters a âthank you.â Before sitting down like all eyes werenât on you two.
âHowâs your coffee?â He asks you nonchalantly.
You look up at him and laugh. He does the same.
âItâs perfect. Howâs yours?â
He smiles at you with those beautiful white teeth that you rarely see.
âPerfect.â He answers back.
Your waitress brings your Halloween specials and you both eat and giggle at one another. When youâre finished, Jake takes your hand and leads you outside. The crisp air raises goosebumps on your skin, yet you had never felt more warm.
âCan I take you back to your place to get changed then we go have a spooky day? I still think we have time to pick out a pumpkin and carve it. We just need to be back before dark because I shelled out on Halloween candy this year.â
You laugh in a surprised way. âJake Kiszka are you getting soft on me? Handing out candy to children?â
He rolls his eyes. âNo. Itâs a competition. The best costumes get the most candy.â
You throw your head back. âThatâs sort of fucked up.â
âBut youâre going to do it with me. Arenât you?â He asks with a smirk.
âObviously.â
He kisses your cheek and laughs. âThatâs my girl.â

warnings: pet names | nothing tbh just fluff ๨ŕ§
it was 7:02am on a sunday, your favourite day. the rain was pouring heavily outside, but the calm pitter-patter of it hitting the window made the environment feel cozy, warm and like the fall.
you and matt adore fall, everything feels so much better, putting you both in a healthier mental state.
âmmâ, you mumble, finally stirring from your sleep. you look down at your boyfriend, cuddled up to you, an arm lazily resting around your waist. you tap him lightly, to wake him.
matt groans as his eyes flutter open, taking in his surroundings. â5 more minutes..â he says sleepily, knowing that youâre trying to get him to wake up.
âno matt, come onnn! its sunday i wanna go to the bookstore before it closes.â
âit closes in like 5 hours we have time, love.â
âwe donât! we have to get ready, and then get there, and then i have to pick a new book!â
matt knew you had a good point, you took forever picking a book, aswell as getting distracted by literally everything along the way.
âfine.â, he agreed, with a sigh of slight annoyance from having to actually get up and leave the house.
you started to get ready immediately whilst matt got in the shower. you put your hair in a messy bun because if you left it down the rain would ruin it completely.
for makeup, you did waterproof mascara, carefully applying it to your long lashes - then you quickly grabbed bronzer and concealer.
đ đ˘ đŚ đ ⢠đŹ đ¤ đ˘ đŠ đ
the both of you arrived at the bookstore, matt let go of your hand so that you could go and find something to read.
every time you came, matt payed. but not by your choice, he simply insisted he has to pay.
âits the most i can do!â he exclaims, trying to get a good point across.
âyou dont even read, and most of your money gets spent on books, matt!â
âil watch gilmore girls with you.â tempting you.
he uses that excuse alot, he knew it would make you give in to him paying. you loved that netflix show, and often tried to get matt to watch it with you.
âfine.â, you sigh, feeling bad for making him pay, but matt never cared.
once you both get back into the shelter of mattâs car, he hands you the bag of 2 books you picked out.
âhere you go, bookworm.â matt teased.
âthankyou baby!â you smile, happy with your choice of books, and grateful for matt buying them.
ę¨:: guys this is like my first time writing lmk if its ass or notđđź

More about your leveling up process?
I wash with disinfectant soap, use hibiclens beneath my arms and anywhere else thatâs prone to sweating or odor, and use sunscreen religiously. Iâve done a lot to clear up my KP and lighten my hyperpigmentation, but the most important thing Iâve learned is that all my time and money would mean nothing if I wasnât consistent. I used to get bad body acne, and after a chest and shoulder peel, a trip or two to the dermatologist, continuous care, starting to wash and change my sheets daily, and really focusing on clearing the scarring, itâs finally gotten so much better and the scarring has nearly disappeared. I shower morning, after exercise, and at night and make sure to moisturize properly.Â
I just recently had a 24-inch 2x6 closure and 4 24-inch bundles made into a middle part wig. Itâs thick, luscious, bouncy, and it looks amazing. I used Raw SEA Straight bundles, I straighten it with minimal heat and it stays bone straight no matter the weather or humidity, and itâs absolutely gorgeous. The hair I use looks healthy, feels amazing, and the price makes sense for the level of quality. I have a lot of wigs but this is in my top five; it works for everyday wear and it looks nice even when itâs tied up so itâs versatile and easy to wear in braid, a bun, or even a low ponytail.
I wear natural makeup most days. Iâm currently using products from Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Nars, Hourglass, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Urban Decay, and Tom Ford and loving how easy it is for me to create natural looks. Iâve been focusing on natural soft matte makeup and really learning how to apply bronzer to emphasize my cheekbones and the results have been better than expected. Iâm very good at eye makeup and I love the lip combos that I do, but sculpting my face is the one thing that escapes me. I wear lashes but theyâre pretty minimal and I do my eye makeup in a way that makes my eyes look wide open instead of overly seductive.
I wear jewelry every day. I usually wear gold Cartier that Iâve collected over the years or other small pieces, but I make an effort to accessorize. One of my favorite fashion magazines said that the key to looking put together was wearing at least a few pieces of matching jewelry, so Iâve made an effort ever since. I have a really nice pair of diamond stud earrings that I got on my 17th birthday, and I wear them on special occasions. I also have a small collection of more adventurous jewelry and charm jewelry, and then I have a few different tennis and pearl pieces. For everyday wear, I try to keep it basic.
I usually do my nails simply. I either do chrome or french tips; sometimes I do a really nice dark red, but I try to keep them short and neat. I have acrylics and usually do gel polish on them; I use a cuticle oil every day and make sure that Iâm getting fills frequently because I want my hands to look good. Iâm going to do perfume in this section because I do my spritzes of perfume right after I apply my cuticle oil. I love perfume. I think that perfume is amazing, and itâs an amazing tool, but you honestly do have to be careful with how much youâre applying. Thereâs nothing worse than the smell of overpowering perfume. I avoid strong perfumes, essential oils, and ouds and limit the number of sprays I do.Â

what i think each gen 1 girl's makeup must-haves are:
courtney: brown lip liner + nude lip balm
leshawna: liquid eyeliner
heather: lashes (i was gonna say eyebrows bc of the tdi episode where she got locked in the fridge but she also seems like the type of person that wouldn't want to be seen in public without lashes idk) and powder bc she hates her pores
lindsay: sparkly lip gloss AND bronzer
gwen: that fuck ass blue matte lipstick
bridgette: literally just moisturizer
katie and sadie: blush (they share all their makeup too <33)
izzy: a lip plumper but not necessarily because she likes how it looks she just likes the stinging burning sensation she gets from it
beth: picks at her acne and calls it a day
eva: her workout sweat is her makeup

Bambi Fawn Makeup
Thereâs something sweet and beguiling about this look. Wide eyes framed by fluttery lashes and lots of soft warm brown tones. Perfect for fall, hereâs how to look like a soft fawn playing in the fallen leaves.
Base: Truly the key to it all is the base. The skin should be mostly matte with a few strategically placed elements of shine. Light to medium coverage is preferred. Brightening concealer should be under the eyes but don't go for the shocking bright thats popular now, instead only go about one or half a shade lighter and blend. I also recommend light underpainting with a bronzer at the temples, forehead and very lightly on the bridge of the nose for an autumnal sun baked look. Cream bronzer is the way to go.
Face: Keep it very simple. A terracotta, orange or straight up brown blush works best. Apply under the eyes up slightly to the temples but keep a light hand. This look calls for more of a tanned flush than a high beam of color. Try Fenty Cheeks Out Cream Blush 'Rose Latte' or Patrick Ta Double Take Blush Duo ' She's Blushing'
Brows: Keep them as natural as possible, but groomed. Tame them with a brow gel, and this look really gives that wide eyed look if the brows are thinner and farther apart with a slight highlight underneath them. Try not to make them too dark but they don't have to be pale either. Try Benefit Gimme Brow+
Eyes: You want them big and open. Line your upper lid with a soft brown, just darker than your skin tone and also line the lower lash line. Then take a nude (not white) pencil and line the waterline focusing on the inner corner. Nyx Vivid Rich Mechanical Eyeliner Pencil 'Under the Moonstone' & 'Quartz Queen'. Then layer lots of mascara, brown preferably for a softer look, Go for something lengthening like BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara.
Lips: If you hate lip liner this is truly the look for you. While you can still wear one if you prefer this look shines best without one. For those with darker skin and lips, go for a soft brownish nude. Try not to go darker than your skin tone as it should be your lips but better. Satin and matte finishes work best, just try not to go too glossy. The best shades are MAC 'Hug Me', 'I Deserve This' & 'Can't Dull My Shine'. Along with Sephora Cream Lip Stain 'Chocolate Lover' and Fenty Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick 'Hot Chocolit'

how do you get monica belluccis vibe (with short wavy hair)?
Use nourishing shampoo/conditioner with a leave-in, anti-frizz conditioner. Let your hair air-dry
Apply ultra-nourishing facial moisturizer to the skin with SPF
For makeup: Use a satin-finish foundation with medium to full concealer underneath to cover imperfections; apply a golden brown bronzer as a contour and a pearly-highlighter to the cheekbones& high points of your face if not oily (tip/bridge of nose, cupid's bow, chin, middle of forehead); Fill in your brows so they look full but natural with a match brow pencil/powder shade; Create a grey-brown smokey eye with a golden bronze/taupe eyeshadow as a base on the lid with a smokey grey in the crease and black shadow on the outer corner(if desired); Apply a thin layer of black liner to the top of the eye with a subtle, classic wing and to the water line/tight line (inner rim); FInish off the lips with a matte or satin finish pink-brown lipstick (or a "your lips but better" hue)
For clothing: Tailored black wardrobe staples in high-quality fabrics â sharp wool/leather/silk blazers, crisp moto jackets, Pima cotton tops or silk camis/blouses, cashmere/leather bodysuits, tailored straight-leg or bootcut black trousers/denim, black slip dress/bodycon knit or heavy-fabric dresses, long tailored black coats in wool, leather, or silk with accents of black lace/red/leopard print

ages ago i asked what makeup you wear and you gave a lovely answer. IF YOU LIKE (cos obviously maybe you don't want to) i would LOOOVVEEE an update
okay HONESTLY i don't actually have much of an update because my makeup routine is in a very much "if it ain't broke don't fix it" phase so very few products or steps have changed iirc - HOWEVER i know leaving the message at that will prompt at least one other anon to come out of the woodwork like "wait so where's the original makeup routine ask" and hand on heart, i know i am never finding that shit, so let me run through it again:
(also disclaimer this is very much my Going Out makeup look, day to day i will do nothing at all or at most brows + mascara + a bit of concealer. before anyone thinks i'm using 20 products daily and has a go at me for it, you never know on this website)
brows: i think this is one of the few steps that HAS changed because now for brow gel i use got2be glued instead of whatever i was doing before. to fill them in though i still use the MUA thin brow pencil because it's a perfect match for my hair colour, i like the formula, and, most importantly, it's literally like ÂŁ3
eyes:
first off i prime with my concealer (sleek in your tone longwear concealer) & set that with my powder (still on a multi year streak of the relove by revolution super matte pressed powder, i have gone through so many of these it's embarrassing). i know you're not "supposed" to set your eye primer bc leaving it tacky makes the eyeshadow more vibrant but have you considered: the texture.
anyway eyeshadow i will just do whatever because i have 5000 ancient palettes i'm still trying to use up, when i say ancient i mean my go to combo is still (although i've very nearly panned them now, please clap) two of the neutral shades (obsessed and SBN) from the original jaclyn hill morphe palette. it's not expired if it hasn't given me conjunctivitis and that's all i'll say on the matter.
THEN i do my eyeliner (still on the NYX pen, have failed to find anything that stays as well).
i technically leave mascara to my very last step but i'll lump it in here, barry m that's how i roll, literally a like for like dupe for benefit roller lash and it's only a fiver or something iirc
face
ahh, the foundation struggle. it literally took me about 6 years of my "full face of makeup" wearing life to find one that a) matched my skin tone and b) sat right on my skin. and then i found one (missguided's meet your match) and then the brand discontinued their entire makeup range. i'm still squeezing out the last dregs of that bottle but i WILL say at halloween alex gave me a bunch of random makeup she didn't want and among those was the collection lasting perfection matte foundation. it does not match my slightly quirky undertone quite as well as my fallen princess from missguided does, but the wear is fantastic
concealer and powder as above
for contour i use another revolution palette, one of the little trios from their relove range in the shade sugar, not 100% sold on it because it pulls very warm but i've not bothered finding a good cooler toned substitute yet. then if i'm doing a proper night out full face i'll add the revolution summer of love bronzer (mainly just the darker shade) for some shimmer & dimension. please don't ask me about my superdrug points history with the amount of revolution shit i'm buying. i should have stocks in the company
for blush: IF i'm doing a full night out look then before powder i'll throw in the missguided (rip) stop i'm blushing liquid blush. super pigmented, super cute. if not i'll just use the blush from the aforementioned revolution palette which i LOOOOVE because it's got a really strong gold shimmer in it, v unique
highlighter: still on my sleek solstice palette grind always and forever, i use the yellowy shade for my cheeks and the peachy one for browbone/inner corner/etc. i also used to use a couple of the lightest shades from the jaclyn hill morphe palette but i panned those LONG ago
lips: i always start off with the barry m plumping lip gloss. i doubt it actually does anything cosmetically but it's the thought that counts and i do like the feel of the formula (plus i think doing a lip gloss first makes the matte lipstick to follow less. crusty feeling). THEN if it's a big night out i will first line & then fill in my lips with a sephora liquid lipstick, cannot remember the shade number and the sticker's come off but it's like a reddy orangey dark nude. however this step is on hiatus because i LOST MY LIP BRUSH IN THE CLUB ON NYE!!!!!!!!! anyway then if i'm really fancying it i'll throw in a very very old definitely expired fenty beauty lipstick in the shade snake skin :))
ETA: forgot to say - to set i use the revolution sports fix setting spray (i like to do this before applying highlighter & then do that step while my skin is still very slightly damp to give it a little more oomph) and then, because i am a theatre kid, if i know i'm going to be out for ages i use hairspray on top. this is NOT GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN and i am probably experiencing low grade solvent abuse side effects from accidentally inhaling it a couple of times so STRICTLY SPEAKING I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS, but i will say i slept in my makeup after nye and apart from a bit of smudging where i'd been on the snogs the majority of it had not budged. so the efficacy is there even if the health consciousness is not
