Hazbin men doing makeup with reader. Doing eachothers makeup !!!
Lucifer
He loves it when you do his makeup. Your creativity is so impressive to him, and it's like he is your own little art canvas. This is something he prides himself on.
He would learn what you do step by step, but things relate poorly in his mind, so he calls everything the wrong terms. Nothing is funnier than him telling others that you beat his face, though.
He eventually picks up on things like skincare and primers, so he starts using those on his own, even if you aren't doing his makeup that day.
When you ask if he wants to take a stab at your makeup, he declines at first. He is terrified of messing up and you being mad at him.
As you offer and ask, he will slowly do one or two things. Start off small, like applying your foundation or primers. Then, move up to something more prominent, like lipstick and eyeliners.
He finds it an excellent bonding activity, like when you two preen his feathers.
Alastor
He does not want your makeup touching his face; his one compact of blackish-red eyeshadow and eyeliner is plenty.
However, your pleading face is adorable and makes him weak, more than he cares to admit. So he will eventually cave in to let you do his routine with him.
Eventually, he will let you get away with sneaking in your own routines and items, like sunscreen, primers, and concealer. He must admit you do a swell job.
When you offer to let him do your face, he is apprehensive. Not only does he not want to mess up, but you have so many steps. He just does the two and is done.
He will learn for you, though, and personally really enjoys putting your mascara on. Gives him an excuse to look at your pretty eyes from up above.
He enjoys the domestication of it all, but please don't talk about it outside of your shared room or else.
Angel Dust
He asked you to do his makeup in the first place. He loves the idea of you two getting dolled up together.
He even went out of his way to buy high-end makeup for you that the makeup artists at the studio use.
He wants you two to be stunning and ready to catch anyone's eyes, only to break hearts when they realize you are together.
He loves to do your makeup more, though, because you have such a cute face, and being up close and personal makes him really happy.
He teaches you how to cover dark circles and bruises; he hopes the only bruises you will ever get are from him marking you, but if that's not the case, he wants you to be prepared.
This is his favorite activity, especially if there is gossip or drama he wants to air with you.
Husk
He isn't really a fan, but he will bend over backward to see you happy, so he will cave in eventually.
Expect complaints, but mostly, he will just be silently watching you do your best work. It always surprises him how you have such a keen eye for color and style.
He likes to make stinky comments like, 'This isn't gonna change this ugly mug doll,' you just need to swat those nasty comments away with your own sweet, lovely comments.
When you offer him to try on you, he is adamant that he will just mess it up and enjoys watching you do your makeup far more than when he is doing it.
If he ever does get brave enough to help you with your makeup, he will mostly do your lipstick; he likes coloring in your lips and kissing you to 'blot the excess love.'
He enjoys watching you do this; it's ASMR for him. However, don't expect him to be super giddy about himself being the canvas.
Vox
Personally, I see Vox as the least okay with you doing makeup on him for a few reasons. He is mainly set in his ways from when he died, but he is also a screen and thinks it's a waste to put your hard-earned money on his face.
He will let you do it on rare occasions when you are really sad and need a pick-me-up, though. Yet he openly states he will buy you new makeup. It's wasted on him.
He uses you doing his makeup as an excuse for you to sit on his lap since he can hold you close.
If you ask him to do your makeup, he obliges just cause he knows it upsets you when he turns you down on doing makeup.
His favorite part is the foundation cause he likes that your beauty blenders come in many fun shapes and colors.
It's a few and far between passions, but when you can get him to commit to helping you with makeup, he is a trooper and does it all for you.
Adam
He is the most secretive about how he really wants to do your makeup, and if that means you doing his fine, so be it.
He watches you like a cat does string when you are doing your entire face.
He thinks it is astonishing that you can be a million different people depending on how you do the makeup that day.
He will probably ask you to do silly makeup on him, like giving him fuller facial hair or using gold eyeshadow and nothing else.
He is so goofy about doing your makeup that he does not try to follow your guidelines at all. He just likes having fun. Sometimes, though, he does make a banger color combination.
This is a fun secret activity you two do in the privacy of his office or home, something to keep you two close and bonded even in uncertain times.

make up
PAIRING: drew starkey x best friend!gn!reader
SUMMARY: you are skilled at make up, and when you're doing Drew's make up while sitting in his lap, you both feel emotions you aren't sure you have felt before.
WARNINGS: fluff, nothing else :)
EDITH SPEAKS: UGH I WISH I COULD DO MAKE UP! but I really cannot ahahahahaha, but in the fanfiction world all is possible ;)
I think the ending kind of sucks, but I really just wanted to write about that make up scene so that's done! Ignore any little grammatical/spelling errors.
Please like and/or reblog if you enjoy reading! Feedback is always appreciated 🌦️
UPDATE: part two is out now! read here
navigation || join my taglist || requests
You and your best friend Drew have been invited to one of your friend's birthday party. The theme of the birthday party is 'Euphoria', so everyone's outfits and make up looks have to be inspired by the show. You are super excited about it, because the aesthetics of the show are mesmerising and the idea of using glitter, and purple-blue eyeshadows makes you enthusiastic.
You are quite good at make up, having picked up at it at quite a younger age. Make up to you seems like painting, but this time a person is your canvas. On the other hand, Drew doesn't know anything about make up. At all. So naturally, you both decided that he will come over at your place atleast 2 hours before the party, so you both can get ready and leave together.
The party starts at 8 pm, and right at 6 pm, you hear your door bell ring. You open the door and let Drew in, who has come with a garment bag in his hand.
"We should get started on the make up, because we don't have enough time." You say, after you both have greeted each other and shared a hug. You take his hand and lead him to your room, ushering him to sit down on your bed as you gather your make up bags.
You pull out all the make up you will need and keep it on the bed for easy reach. "You okay with all of this?" You ask Drew, and he gives you a nod.
"I dont even know where all these go on my face," he says, laughing, "so yes, I think I'm okay. I trust you with this." You smile at his words. He tells you he's done his basic skincare routine: cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen, so now you know you can start with the make up.
You take the primer and as you start layering it on his face, you realise how much you are having to bend, because you're standing in front of him and he's sitting on your bed, meaning you're completely towering over him.
When you are done applying the primer, you straighten your back up and let out a groan. Drew opens his eyes and looks at you with concern.
"You okay?" He asks, your hand now on your back.
"Yes, I'm fine," you say, looking around your room to look for a chair for you to sit down, but internally groaning again when you can't spot one.
"You know, you can, sit on my lap if you want to," Drew says, and you look at him with wide eyes.
"Oh no, its okay, I must have a chair somewhere in my living room, I'll get it, or I can just sit next to you on the bed-" You know there isn't much space on the bed; with your outfit, make up, Drew's outfit, your jewellery, and other little accessories spread around on it.
"No it's okay, I promise," he looks at you with reassuring eyes. You give him a slow nod, and sit down on his lap, your legs on either side. You don't put much weight on him, worrying he might find it a little heavy.
"You can sit down comfortably, i promise you aren't heavy." It's like he can hear your thoughts. You let your complete weight on him, and you see he's still smiling at you. You feel your heart rate quicken when his hands land on your waist and help you sit comfortably. You let out a deep inhale, and try to divert your complete focus to the make up which you need to be done within less than an hour.
You put on some foundation and concealer on his face, and start to blend it out with a beauty blender. At moments, you find yourself holding onto his shoulders for balance, and you take your hand off in just a second.
"Why are you so stiff? Relax," Drew laughs at you, his eyes closed with the unblended concealer still on his face.
He's right. Why are you so stiff? Why are you not able to relax and do what you're so experienced in? This kind of make up look never takes you this long, but your position on top of him, is making you feel emotions you didn't know you had for him.
You've been best friends with Drew as long as you can remember. He's been there for you through primary school, middle school, high school, and even when you both separated paths because you went to separate universities. He never failed to call you up almost everyday to check up on you and update you with everything that's been happening with him. Especially after he made acting his job and started getting attention, he has always taken you to film shoots in different places you never thought you'd get to explore before.
After spending so much time together, you never thought of him something more than a best friend. Why? You don't know. But you've also never ignored the fluttering in your heart each time your hand brushed his when you both reach out for the same thing at the same moment, or when he's doing a photo shoot and he looks at you and shoots you the most adorable smile. But you can never think of being something more. If you did try, you both will most probably fail, and all these years of curating a beautiful friendship so carefully will go down the gutter in a matter of seconds.
So you've always dug all these little feelings in you. No one needs to know about them. You both are perfectly fine as best friends. That's it.
Once you're done with the concealer, you start on the actual make up look. You choose a blush which will match Drew's skin tone really well, and start to layer it on a brush. Drew watches you carefully as you brush the make up brush on the palette.
You move a little closer to his face, the distance between you two being reduced to small magnitudes of inches, and start to brush the blush on his cheeks. His eyes instantly fall shut on the feeling of the soft bristles against his cheeks, an instant calm rushing in his veins. You, with your eyebrows furrowed, keep on brushing his cheeks as carefully as you can.
His cheeks are now subtly suffused with a champagne pink, and you decide to start with the eye shadow.
"Close your eyes for me," you mumble, but he doesn't need that notice. His eyes, already closed from feeling you so close to him, your heart so close to his, your skin occasionally touching his. He just hums to your words, and you start to apply the eyeshadow on his eyelids. You've never been this close to him. You notice every freckle, every scar, every beauty mark on him you've never seen before. He just became a whole lot more beautiful to you.
You want to stay this close forever. His body heat has warmed you up, and you're extremely comfortable in his lap. You slow down your movement with the eyeshadow, never wanting this moment to end.
When the eye make is done, you grab onto the silver glitter and apply it on his cheekbones, which accentuates them even more, and some on his eyelids which matches really well with the purple tints of the eyeshadow.
You get some last needed items: mascara and a lipgloss. You gently apply the mascara to his eyelashes, making sure not to poke him in the eye. You open the lipgloss and move impossibly close to him to apply it on his lips.
You gently drag the end of the applicator of the lip gloss across his lips, the gloss leaving a shine as you move it across. His lips, separated apart slightly, heave of little exhales as you are so close to him.
You just want to press your lips against his.
What? No you don't! Hes your best friend, nothing more. You cannot risk it all simply because you want to know if they taste just as sweet as they look.
You clear your throat as you're done with the lip gloss and move your face away from his. "It's done," you say with a contented smile as you look at your finished result.
Drew looks at you with a grin on his face. "How do I look?" He asks you. He knows he looks absolutely stunning. You did his make up, so yes, theres no way he doesn't look beautiful right now.
"I think you look great," you say with a cheeky smile, as you start to get off his lap, but his arms fixate around your waist and stop you from getting up.
"Don't get up, I loved having you sit on my lap," Drew says with a pout. You feel your cheeks heat up, but just giggle at his reply.
"But then we will get late for the party, and I still have to do my make up look," you say. No doubt you don't want to get off either, but you have to, you have no choice.
"Forget the party, lets just stay here and do something else," he pleads. His blue eyes pierce yours, which want nothing more than to just look at you forever.
"But then my make up look will go to waste! I did it for the party, you know," you humph. Forcing yourself against your will, you get off Drew's lap. You take your time to wear your outfit and finish with your makeup, and just five minutes before your decided leaving time, you both are completely ready.
You now stand in front each other, your faces gleaming each time light reflects on them. You did your own look quite matching to Drew's, the same purple hues and glitter splattered across your face.
"Wow," Drew whispers looking at you, as his arms find your waist again. You're beginning to get used to them being wrapped so firmly around you and softly pulling you closer to him.
You give Drew a smile and intertwine your hand with his, and you both go out of your house to go to the party.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·
Jia sat in front of her vanity, reading the comments on her livestream as they rolled in. She decided since she had time while getting ready for lunch with Bada, she’d do a short livestream. “Hello everyone! It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these. I’m just hopping on while I get ready.”
She explained to the viewers, applying sunscreen to her fingertips before rubbing it into her face. “To pass the time, why don't we do a Q&A? Ask your questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability.”
She fanned her face before grabbing her primer. Removing the lid, Jia read aloud the first question she saw:
user124: what are you getting ready for?
She spattered the primer onto her face as she talked. “Just the day, really. So far I’ve only went to the gym, ate breakfast, and answered some emails. But, I am going to lunch with a friend so there's that.” Jia mentioned, keeping a casual expression as she rubbed the primer into her skin.
user243: you're always wearing platformed shoes in most of your posts… how tall are you?
“I didn't even realize that. I'm 171.45 centimeters to be exact, last time I checked.” The girl applied a thin level of foundation and hummed to herself.
user947: what are the next groups you want to work with?
Jia thought about the question, tapping her chin. “That's a tough question… probably txt, nmixx, or ateez. Oh, and seventeen!” She began to contour her face and glance between the phone and her reflection in the mirror.
user328: what's your favorite song at the moment?
Jia began to fill and shape her eyebrows as she thought back to the song she'd played the most for the past few weeks. She cringed a little at the two songs that instantly came to mind, knowing that the viewers might think too deeply about the lyrics.
“Sorrows by Bryson Tiller or All I Want Is You by Miguel.” Almost immediately, she saw the comments come in faster. Holding back an eye roll, Jia began to shut down any ideas that were being sent.
“There isn't a specific reason why these are my favorite songs right now. So don't read too much into it.” Jia added concealer and skimmed through the comments, searching for her next question.
user429: is it true you’re collaborating with bada lee???
Jia laughed a little at the comment as she blended the makeup. “No, that's not true. However, if you guys convince her then maybe there's a chance. I'll have to think about it.” Jia smiled as she received a lot of comments along the lines of ‘challenge accepted’.
She answered multiple questions as she finished up her makeup, adding lip gloss before tossing it into her purse. She stood up and leaned close to the camera, giving a close-lipped smile as she wiggled her fingers under her face.
“Alright, now I have to accessorize, do my hair, and put on perfume, then I should be done!” Jia summed up as she moved to the bathroom. She opened one of the cabinets and took out her brush.
She held her hair into a ponytail and looked down at her outfit. “Ponytail of half up half down, which one should I do?” Jia kept her eyes on the comments as she took out a hair tie and a few bobby pins. The majority of the comments she saw said ponytail, so she went with it.
She added a little details to it by adding a middle part and styling bobby pins on each side of the front. Jia let some stray strands frame her face and she looked down at the phone and put two thumbs up.
Moving back to her room, she sat back in front of her vanity and opened her jewelry box. She tapped her chin before choosing a combination of silver pieces. “Alright, two final questions everyone. Choose wisely.”
user156: when will your next class be?
“Monday at ygx. I'm going to be there basically all day so come up to me if you catch me!” Jia responded while dabbing her signature scent in its regular places.
user805: are you dating anyone?
Jia instantly shook her head with a straight face. “No, I'm not seeing anyone. But, Jackson Wang if you're watching this… call me.” Jia quickly turned the question into a joke, holding a phone hand sign up to her ear and raising her brows before blowing a kiss to the screen.
Almost immediately, she dipped out of the frame and began laughing. The girl tried to return to the screen but read a few comments that only made her laughter grow. She covered her mouth and tried to relax her face.
“Alright… thanks for tuning in! See you guys later!” Jia blew a kiss to the camera and waved goodbye as she ended the live. She wiped a fake tear off her face and fanned her eyes. “I'm the funniest person I know.”
She stood up and looked at her outfit in the mirror. It really represented her maximalist meets minimalist sense of style. Jia picked up her tote and added her essentials before sitting on her bed. Bada texted the details last night, and she already forwarded them to Ryujin.
Jia looked at the time on her phone and sighed, thinking back to why she got ready so early. It was now around 10:40 and the pair agreed to meet at the location by 12. Jia made her way out of her room and contemplated what she wanted to do to waste time.
She walked down the hall and knocked on her sister’s door four times before going inside. Laura didn't bother to look up from her laptop as Jia walked in and lay down on her bed.
Kija hopped down from Laura’s lap and moved to lay against Jia’s side. Jia pet the cat who nuzzled into her side and stared at the ceiling before dramatically sighing. Laura ignored the girl as she typed away at her keyboard, increasing the volume of her music in the background.
Jia glanced at her sister before letting out an even more dramatic sigh. Laura rolled her eyes before swiveling her chair toward the direction of her bed. “What?” Jia immediately sat up with a bright smile painted on her face.
“Oh, nothing. I'm just excited to hang out with Bada today. You know, in person. Outside the dance studio.” Jia said with a sigh, continuing to pet Kija as she looked into the distance.
Laura glared and shook her head. “That was definitely a jab at me and Suyin… Just because we’re long distance doesn’t mean you can attack us like this.” Laura jokingly shook her head and wiped away her fake tears. Jia rolled her eyes and launched the closest stuffed animal at her sister.
Laura ducked out of the way and shook her head disappointingly, tisking at her sister as she spun back toward her laptop. “Next time Suyin visits I'm telling her to beat you up.”
Jia rolled her eyes and crossed her legs before placing Kija on the floor. “My apologies… Anyways, back to my thing. I did some research on the place we’re meeting and it's supposed to have a pretty scenery.”
Laura spun back in Jia’s direction with a smile on her face. “That sounds perfect for your date!” “Not a date…” Jia immediately followed up, earning an eye roll from Laura.
“It basically is. Watch, I bet Ryujin will confirm that it was, in fact, a date after her spying.” Laura confidently declared before leaning back into her chair and kicking her legs up onto the corner of her desk.
Jia sighed and leaned to the side, propping her head on top of her palm. “I feel like if it is, I won't be upset at all. It's just I don't wanna get my hopes up.” Laura peeked at her sister and sighed.
“Understandable. Also, why are you in here right now?” Laura crossed her arms and squinted at her sister. “I wanted to spend some quality time with my little sister!” Jia enthusiastically said, sweetly smiling at her sister’s straight face.
“Bullshit. Let me guess, you started getting ready too early because you were so excited.” Laura plainly worded, clicking the enter key on her laptop. Jia bit her lip in guilt, earning a laugh from Laura.
“You want her so bad.” Laura brought down her legs and completely spun in her sister’s direction. Jia rolled her eyes at the statement and fully sat up. “Yadda, yadda.”
“More like ‘Bada, Bada’ is the only thing on your mind.” Laura joked with a wink and Jia almost instantly cringed. She launched another stuffed animal in the girl’s direction, causing the younger to weave away from said stuffed animal.
“That was so bad, you need to be silenced.” Laura dramatically scoffed at Jia’s claim, holding a hand to her heart while her jaw slacked. “So now you want to silence queer voices? I'm already starting the cancel Jia Mei Yu tag as we speak.” Jia rolled her eyes and stood up from the bed.
“That's why you're not getting any leftover food I might bring back.” Laura gasped and immediately moved to apologize but Jia hushed her actions as she walked out of the room.
Quickly grabbing her bag and phone from her room, she trekked down the stairs and into the living room. Jia lounged on the couch and watched youtube videos while she waited for the appropriate time to leave.
She wanted to get there about fifteen minutes early so she would be able to talk with Ryujin before Bada was supposed to show up. When it reached a reasonable time, Jia stood up and grabbed her things.
Saying her goodbyes to Laura and Kija, she grabbed her keys and walked out the door. Once she made it out of the complex, Jia walked to her regular parking space and got into her car. She shot a text to Ryujin, telling her that she was leaving her apartment.
After she received a response, Jia ignited the engine and embarked on the journey.
· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·
After parking, she got out of her car and looked at the time. Bada would be there in approximately ten minutes and Jia started to frantically text Ryujin while walking into the building. Apparently, the lunch spot was located on one of the higher levels.
Once she reached the destination, she couldn't help but notice how pretty it was. It looked to be a mostly outdoor-themed lunch spot and Jia had no idea how she hadn't been there before.
It kind of resembled a really pretty park area, but in the sky where you could see the skyline. There was a sign to first sit at your desired table and then press a button when you're ready to order. Jia found that pretty neat as she maneuvered through the tables.
She found a couple closer to the wall of the cafe and chose to wait at one of them. Jia scrolled through her phone as a text from Ryujin came in, telling her to look up and over to a table near the edge of the seating area.
Her head immediately snapped up and followed Ryujin’s directions. There, she saw her friend waving at her with a smile on her face. Jia smiled back and took a couple of pictures of her before shooting her heart sign, to which Ryujin reciprocated.
Jia anxiously bit her lip and scrolled through tiktoks in hopes of distracting herself enough for her mind to calm down before Bada showed up. She alternated between social media and texting Ryujin when she heard someone approach the table.
“Am I late?” Jia immediately looked up to see a slightly worried Bada reaching the table and she couldn't help the smile that took over her features. She shook her head and stood from her seat, meeting Bada in front of the table.
Due to the couple of inches from the platform sandals she sported, she was about the same height as Bada. She smugly smiled before greeting the girl with a hug. Her affections were immediately reciprocated and the pair hugged for a little before taking seats across from each other.
Jia discreetly looked over to Ryujin’s table where she was fake-reading a book while keeping most of her focus on the two. Jia turned her attention back onto the girl in front of her and held a soft smile.
“This place is so pretty, how did you discover it?” Jia questioned while looking around the sit-down cafe before moving her gaze back onto Bada.
“I found this place a couple of months ago with a few friends,” Bada answered with a smile as she pulled two menus from its holder off to the side. Jia hummed and thanked Bada for the menu when she handed it to her.
She skimmed the menu, secretly peeking at the girl across from her before setting it down. The casual attire that Bada wore looked good, and she smelled even better. Little did Jia know that the said outfit took Bada thirty minutes and five phone calls to put together.
Bada followed suit and pressed a button that summoned the waiter. While waiting for the waiter, the two began making conversation. Jia really enjoyed Bada’s facial expressions while talking, it made her look so passionate about the smallest things.
Jia also acknowledged how adorably dorky Bada was. She was convinced Bada’s little quirks made her like her even more. Once the waiter approached the table and greeted the two, they said their orders.
The pair continued their conversation after the waitress left, going back and forth with questions. “So, when's your birthday?” Bada asked while placing her chin on top of her propped-up palm.
“April 24th… I’m a Taurus.” Jia said, said with a hint of pride. She found her birthdate to be aesthetically satisfying to her mind when she thought about it in numeral form.
“Yours?” Jia rerouted the question back to Bada, subconsciously shifting in her seat to get closer to the girl.
A small smile hinted at Bada’s features before she began speaking. “September 22nd…” Jia’s hand immediately fell on the table. “Wait, you're telling me-” She cut herself off as she flipped her phone over.
Her gaze flickered between Bada and her phone, her shocked face morphed into an expression of realization. “Today is the 16th… its five days away!” Jia exclaimed, attempting to keep her voice lower than a shout.
Bada nodded with an amused smile. She found Jia’s whole reaction a mixture of entertaining and endearing. “This isn't funny, now I have to scour the earth to find a gift good enough for you in less than five days!” Jia half-joked with a huff, leaning back in her seat and crossing her arms.
“Just a ‘happy birthday’ will work,” Bada said while mimicking Jia’s sitting position. Jia instantly shook her head at the girl’s statement, finding it completely foolish.
“Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I'm a great gift-giver so I can't miss an opportunity like this. If anything, this is more for me than for you!” Jia rambled on, crossing her legs as she spoke and tried to reason with the girl.
They had a staring contest and once Jia tilted her head and raised a challenging brow, Bada gave in with a sigh. Jia’s expression changed into a victorious grin as she hummed satisfactorily.
The waiter returned with their orders and the two politely thanked them. Jia took a sip of her beverage before leaning against the table. “So, tell me what you're doing for your birthday.”
Bada thought a little before shrugging. “Nothing much. I'm probably just going to hang out in the studio with my crew, maybe go to a dinner and a movie with some friends.” Jia nodded at Bada’s statement, the soft smile that graced her lips was unable to abandon them.
The conversation flowed through various topics, from favorite shows to funny childhood stories. Jia took many opportunities to discreetly try and find out bits and pieces of Bada’s potential sexuality standing.
Most of the questions she asked were pretty obvious to Jia, but Bada really had no clue what she meant by them. At some point, Jia asked Bada if she had ever watched ‘The L Word’ and Bada couldn't have been any more confused.
Jia was in the middle of telling a story about her and Laura in middle school when she mentioned someone she had never really revealed existed to the public. “Wait, you have a brother?” Bada asked, the surprise evident in her tone.
“Oh, yeah. He's the youngest and is still in school. A real pain in the ass, but I guess he's alright.” Jia answered before sipping her beverage. Bada hummed in fascination, pleased to find out something new about Jia’s life.
While Bada was telling a story about something funny that happened earlier this year with her friends, Jia couldn't stop staring at the breadcrumb on the corner of the girl’s lips.
She contemplated whether she should tell the girl about it or not. Jia didn't want to cut off the girl’s cute ramblings so she opted for the second thing that came to mind. She slowly moved her hand toward the girl’s cheek and held it while wiping off the crumb at the corner of Bada’s lips.
As soon as Jia’s hand made contact with Bada’s face, Bada’s actions paused and her voice died in her throat. A light blush came over her features once Jia’s soft thumb made contact with the corner of her lips. After a few swipes, the warm feeling of Jia’s hand disappeared from Bada’s face, causing the girl to internally frown at the lack of warmth.
Jia’s eyes held a look of genuine innocence and cluelessness at the feelings she caused to arise in the girl across from her. She signaled for Bada to continue speaking and took a bite of her own food.
For a little while, Bada’s sentences held a slight stutter as she kept anxiously fixing her bangs from time to time. Jia intently paid attention to Bada’s words, not minding the stutter at all.
Bada passed the conversation onto Jia, relaxing a bit once the the girl started rambling about a subject she was interested in. After many conversations and laughs, the two girls had finished their lunches.
Both of them learned more about each other and it grew their connection, as well as their feelings for one another. Once the bill came, Jia instantly took it. Bada protested, saying that since she was the one to invite her, she should pay.
But Jia wouldn't back down. “You bought me a snack yesterday, so I buy you lunch today. Also, weren't you the one that said ‘friends buy friends things’?” Jia confidently recited, a slight smirk resting across her face as she took her wallet from her bag.
Bada sighed and jokingly rolled her eyes with a grin on her face. “Using my words against me, I see. Fine, but next time… I'm paying.” Bada waved a finger at the girl and Jia waved it off as she placed her card inside the bill holder and signed her signature before handing it back over to the waiter.
Jia sweetly smiled at Bada’s fake frown. “Thank you for letting me pay, I could see how much it pained you to do so.” She dramatically thanked the girl with both hands on her heart, causing Bada’s facade to crack and a laugh to escape.
“It really did hurt me watching you pay. My heart clenched in agony.” Bada mimicked Jia’s dramatics while deepening her playful frown. The waitress returned Jia’s card and wished the two a good day before attending to the next table.
The two girls simultaneously stood up with a sigh. “This was really fun, we have to do it again sometime soon.” Bada voiced with a charming smile. “I was just about to say the same thing.” Jia agreed with a matching smile and a head nod.
Bada and Jia slowly made their way down to the lower levels of the building, carrying out their conversation for as long as they could. The two frequently brushed arms in the process, but neither of them addressed it.
Jia thought that their paths would divide once they stepped out onto the concrete, but Bada offered to walk Jia to her car. Of course, the girl accepted the offer. The pair continued their conversation as they slowly strode to Jia’s car.
Both girls didn't want to end the conversation, but Jia knew if she didn't Bada would be late for the meeting she mentioned earlier. Jia hugged the girl goodbye, staying in each other’s hold for just a moment longer than what seemed customary.
Jia watched Bada walk in the other direction before getting into her own car. Instead of igniting the engine, she sat behind the wheel and reflected on the past hour she spent with Bada. She couldn't help the giddy smile that graced her features as she excitedly tapped against her wheel.
Her soul almost left her body when knocks were heard against her window. Jia’s eyes widened as a hand fell on her chest before she slowly turned toward the culprit.
A breath was released once she realized the guilty party was Ryujin. The girl laughed at her friend’s change of expression before signaling her to lower her window. Jia followed her friend’s signal as she caught her breath and steadied her heart.
“If I died just now, just know you would be the one responsible,” Jia uttered with narrowed eyes, causing Ryujin’s smile to grow. “Well, good thing you didn't because you wouldn't hear what I'm about to say.”
Jia’s expression changed as she turned her body toward the girl leaning on her car window. “First of all, that place was great. Ten out of ten food, I'll probably go again with-” “Okay, okay, I get it. The food was amazing, now tell me what I want to know.” Jia cut the girl off with a hopeful glint in her eyes.
“That, my friend, was definitely a date. I don't even know where to begin on how much of a date that was. It was so cute, you two are perfect.” Ryujin continued to gush at the memory of observing the date.
A bright grin, with a hint of shyness, grew on Jia’s face as she covered her mouth at what Ryujin revealed. “You're positive?” “Baby, why would I lie about this?” Ryujin rhetorically questioned, a smile still present on her features.
“No, you actually might be right. Thank you for your service, agent baby girl.” Jia jokingly drew out with a salute, although there was still some doubt in her head.
“Anytime, except for the rest of the day. I can't believe I had to play spy on my day off…” Ryujin voiced with slight disbelief, shaking her head before saying goodbye to Jia.
The girl laughed at her friend’s claim and watched her walk away from the window. She rolled it back up and laid her head against the seat. A satisfied him drew out of her matching smile before she decided to start her car.

Being A Grunge Girl In A Clean Girl Summer
Hey Bestie! 💖 Let’s Talk Summer Makeup – How to Nail That Grungy Cool Look Even When It’s Hot!
Hey, babe! 🌸 Summer’s here, and while we’re all about those sunny days and beachy vibes, let’s be real – the heat can make our makeup game a little tricky. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! If you’re like me and want to rock that grungy, effortlessly cool look even when the temps are soaring, keep reading. I’m spilling all the tea on how to keep your makeup looking fab without melting away. 🖤🔥
Step 1: Prep Your Skin Like a Pro 🌞
First things first, babe – summer makeup is all about the base. To keep your look intact, start with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without feeling greasy. And don’t forget sunscreen! Choose a matte, oil-free SPF that won’t leave you looking shiny. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
Once your skin is prepped, apply a good primer. Go for one that’s mattifying and pore-filling to keep your skin smooth and your makeup in place, even on those sweltering days. A primer with a bit of a grip will help your makeup stay put longer, so you can slay all day without worrying about touch-ups.
Step 2: The Base – Keep It Light, Keep It Matte 🌿
When it comes to summer makeup, less is more. Go for a lightweight foundation or a tinted moisturizer with a matte finish. You want something that evens out your skin tone but still lets your natural glow shine through. If you’ve got a bit of redness or unevenness, a matte BB cream can be your best friend. It’s like a soft filter for your face – perfect for those grungy vibes without feeling heavy.
Got a few spots to cover? Use a full-coverage concealer, but only where you need it. Keep things light and breathable so your skin doesn’t feel suffocated in the heat.
Step 3: Grunge Eyes – Smoky, Smudgy, and Oh-So-Cool 🖤
Now for the fun part – those grungy eyes! Even in the summer heat, you can totally rock a smoky eye without it turning into a smudgy mess. Here’s how:
Eyeshadow Base: Start with an eyeshadow primer to keep everything in place. Choose one that’s sweat-proof to lock in your look.
Matte Shadows: Stick with matte eyeshadows in earthy tones like browns, taupes, and even some deep plum or charcoal shades. Use a fluffy brush to blend the color onto your lids and into the crease for that effortlessly cool, lived-in look.
Smudge-Proof Liner: Go for a waterproof gel or pencil liner. Smudge it along your lash line, and if you’re feeling daring, add a bit to your lower lash line too. Use a small brush to soften the edges for that perfectly imperfect grunge vibe.
Mascara: Finish with a waterproof mascara that adds volume without clumping. If you’re really into the grunge look, apply a bit more on your lower lashes for that “I’ve been up all night, but I look fabulous” effect.
Step 4: Cheeky Vibes – Keep It Subtle but Edgy 🌹
For your cheeks, go for a soft, natural contour instead of heavy bronzing. Use a matte bronzer or contour powder to add some definition to your cheekbones, jawline, and forehead. Keep it subtle, but sharp enough to give you that edgy, sculpted look.
For blush, opt for a cream formula in a muted berry or dusty rose shade. Apply it with your fingers for a natural flush that blends seamlessly into your skin. Cream blushes are perfect for summer because they give you that dewy, fresh look without looking too powdered.
Step 5: Lips That Last – Bold, Dark, and Beautiful 💋
Now, let’s talk lips! Summer grunge is all about those deep, bold shades that scream confidence. Whether you’re into a classic matte lipstick or a long-lasting liquid formula, go for colors like deep burgundy, chocolate brown, or even a daring plum.
To make sure your lipstick stays put, start by lining your lips with a matching lip liner. Fill in your lips completely to create a base for your lipstick. Then, apply your chosen shade, and blot with a tissue. If you want that extra staying power, dust a little translucent powder over your lips before applying a second layer.
For a more low-key look, a tinted lip balm in a dark berry shade will give you that grungy vibe without feeling too heavy – perfect for those super hot days when you want to keep it chill.
Step 6: Set It and Forget It – Lock In Your Look 🔒
Finally, lock in all your hard work with a setting spray that’s designed to keep everything in place, even when you’re sweating it out in the summer heat. Go for a matte finish setting spray to keep any shine at bay and ensure your grungy look stays flawless all day (and night) long.
Final Thoughts, Babe: Grunge It Up, Summer Style 🌟
There you have it, bestie – the ultimate guide to keeping your makeup looking cool, grungy, and totally fabulous during the hot summer months. Remember, the key is to keep things lightweight and matte, with just enough edge to channel your inner rockstar. Whether you’re hitting the beach or heading to a summer concert, this look will have you feeling like the coolest babe around.
So, grab your makeup bag, turn up the volume on your fave grunge playlist, and let’s slay this summer together! 💋✨
What’s your go-to summer grunge makeup look, babe? Let’s swap tips in the comments – I’m dying to see how you’re keeping it cool in the heat! 💕

♡i also scripted in spiderman, sharkboy and lava girl for fun
♡Aizawa is not my teacher in my DR because he's my S/O in another DR, so it would make me feel weird if i were his student - so mic is homeroom teacher
♡Aizawa is *still* a teacher, but someone i don't have to interact with because I'm scripting his class is a selection of students from 1A and 1B, half from each, and I don't get picked
For those shifting to a student DR, if you wanna copy my routine to add to your script, here's mine <3

How To Have The Smoothest Makeup Base
Are you a beginner at makeup? Are the different brands and products stressing you out? Don't worry, I totally get it. That's why I'm here to help you!
First, let me explain what a "makeup base" is. The base makeup is the layer that comes first to cover skin imperfections and leave a smooth surface for other products. Your makeup base can include but is not limited to foundation, concealer, liquid blush, and setting powder. After finishing your base makeup, you can start on other things like your eye makeup.
When starting your face makeup, you should always ensure your face is properly prepped. To prep my face, I always start by cleansing it. Makeup looks best on a clean face. Then, I do my skincare.
Here is a list of everything I use:
Toner
Niacinamide Serum
Moisturizer
Sunscreen (SPF)
It is super important to wear SPF on your face during the day as well as under your makeup. According to Kim, Min Ah, "Layering sunscreen with makeup may compensate for insufficient sunscreen application in real‐life conditions by providing an additional source of UV protection and improving the homogeneity of coverage" (126). Sunscreen should be essential to your skin prep routine before you start your makeup.
Once your face is prepped, it's time to prime. "Primer—which goes on after your moisturizer and before foundation—it's worth the extra step for a perfect makeup application" (Fields, 126).
Primer is a makeup product that aids in helping your makeup stay on your face all day. Things like weather, skin type, and more can play a factor in whether your makeup stays fresh all day, but primer helps with that no matter the factor.
Primer can be either water-based or silicone-based. Whichever you choose to use is based on your skin type and foundation type. Water-based primer works for most skin types from sensitive to oily skin. Meanwhile, silicone-based primer is best for oily skin only. That doesn't mean other skin types can't use silicone-based primers though.
Primer should be applied on all areas of your face where makeup will go.
You can start applying your makeup after your face is prepped and primed!
Personally, I don't wear foundation for my base makeup, I use concealer only, but the same rules apply for both concealer and foundation.
Like primer, concealer and foundation can be either water-based or silicone-based. Water-based works for pretty much every skin type whilst silicone-based works best for oily skin. Keeping this in mind, the bases of your primer and foundation/ concealer should match. Silicone-based primer with silicone-based foundation or concealer, and water-based primer with water-based foundation or concealer.
The exception to this rule is: water-based primer and silicone-based foundation or concealer can work well together but not vice versa.
I have oily skin, but I use a water-based primer. I have found that water-based concealers and foundations don't mix well with my skin, so I use silicone-based concealer, and the primer and concealer mix well without any issues.
So to start, I apply a concealer that is about the same color as my skin all over my face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin). The same can be done for foundation as well. After, I blend all the concealer (or foundation) out with a foundation brush. Once that's done, I apply a lighter color concealer on areas I want to be brighter (under eyes, eyelids, between my eyebrows, next to my nostrils, and chin). Then, I blend that concealer out with a beauty sponge. Next, I do liquid blush but not everyone does it, it's based on preference. I feel that applying liquid blush before applying powder makes your blush stand out more. If you do want to apply liquid blush, I apply mine on the apples on my cheeks and blend it out with a brush.
For your liquid products, I recommend the brand Elf. It is a very affordable makeup line and all the liquid products I use (concealer and blush) are from Elf.
Now, we can move on to powder. Setting powder is what locks in your liquid products and keeps them in place. There are two types of setting powder: pressed powder and loose powder. The names are kind of self-explanatory but here is what they look like.
They are basically the same, but the difference between them is in their name. Pressed powder is packed tightly into a container while loose powder is not.
I use both pressed powder as well as loose powder when I do my makeup because I have found that by using two different powders, my face is less likely to get oily throughout the day. For dry skin, I recommend only using one powder, because too much powder on that skin type can dry out the skin. For normal skin, you can do whatever feels best. I apply my pressed powder with a medium-sized makeup brush all over my face. Then I go in with loose powder all over my face and I apply that with a powder puff.
Here are some powder recommendations!
Loose:
Kimchi Chic Puff Puff Pass Set & Bake Powder
Maybelline Fit Me! Loose Finishing Powder
One/Size Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder
Pressed:
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish
Maybelline Fit Me! Pressed Powder
NYX Professional Makeup Pressed Powder
Now that you're all done with powder, you are just one step away from a perfect makeup base! All you need is a setting spray. Setting spray is the final step to locking in your base makeup so it lasts all day. To apply it properly, hold the spray a couple of inches away from your face and spray everywhere.
Here are some setting spray recommendations!
Elf Stay All Night Blue Light Micro-Setting Mist
Milani Make It Last Matte Finish Charcoal Setting Spray
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
One/Size On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray
Look at you! Your base looks absolutely flawless. I hope this blog was of great help to you.

Loki strokes my back in circular motions in the morning in the bathroom, I vomited again but I can take it better now, it's not because you're hysterical and I don't sneeze so much, I don't get into trouble with anyone, I've finally gotten rid of burping, I'm just joking and then I laugh at myself, I know that I cooked a good thing, it's true, not with him but with my ex Ollie, but a good and cute little girl and I'm waiting for it. "Who are you going to?" He smiled seductively at me when I turned around and started washing my face. "Yes, I will also be there at the press conference right next to Charles, who said that on a drunken night you are a piece of shit, but his girlfriend thinks it's positive, and he thinks it's negative." I tried to laugh but it didn't work, I was struggling with the serum, I never knew if I should put it on by hand or just drip it on my face. ,,What was it? You don't say exactly? Ever since Suzuka's drunken outburst, we know that Charles is not a sane boy, nor is he a hothead who thinks like that." "I know if he doesn't, he freaks out and starts crying in a weird way, but that's how he is. Fuck, it's sold out at the best time!!!!" "Are you running out?" I used up the last of my sunscreen, you could buy a new one here, but where?” I started whining again about a stupid sunscreen that I bought somewhere a month ago because it seemed better than the expensive ones sold by Sephora. "Until we find a new one, use mine, it's the same brand, it's just a sun protection factor, that's all it was." "Fuck, I ran out of primer, and a company sent me this during Covid, but I really have to buy it, because it's available here too, but it's cheaper here." I threw the plastic box in the trash and saw that Loki looked strange, I could only blink. "What you got, how can I say it, my sister-in-law, they are American and you can only get this on the internet." He came closer to me and slowly started kissing my back, which made me start, then he kissed my neck, I just blushed and looked at the needle in front of me, but before long he turned me around, I started to support the cock while he sucked my Adam's cock and excited my body with his fingers. "Loki, please, I have to go, I'm in such a fucking hurry. Aaaah!!!” I twisted my neck with closed eyes and played with Loki's lock of hair. "You'll get there, I'll just taste this delicacy." "Ahh- I understand, but..." "Let's go... I can't bear to look here, fuck you!!!!!!!"
I stood frozen, seriously, it's seven in the morning and we have to get to the track by ten. Loki enjoys sucking his cock. I closed my eyes and instead turned my head, started shaking and called the others to fuck us. ,,Where? I don't know, but I don't dare to look at it... I'm serious, what I saw is almost gay porn... I'll take good Loki's mouth off the pumpkin and bring the monkey." "Suck harder Loki, more!!!!!" "I'm going, it's too much for me. then there. Cya" My head hurts from Lando's screams, which make me moan.. he moans during his orgasm. "Milk, I'm going to have milk!!!!!!! Let's go faster Loki more!!!!!!!!! A little bit!!!!!" "I can't take it anymore, I'll shut up." I was furious when I opened it. Laughing in front of the needle guard, Lando put on make-up and laughed and recorded something on TikTok. "It's done. Oh hello, Osc… And you? Aren't you separate?" "It wasn't Lando, the team said that since there was only one race here, we would go to the track together. So I hope you will hurry and your mind won't run around your tail again." "Relax girl, I'm ready, my dress is in my suitcase, just a light on the diva's beautiful mouth and we're off."
I came out of the bathroom smiling and shaking my ass in a sexy way. "Lando, you have a whore's tattoo." "And what about my lady? I'm not a boyish gay, as you can see, I'm a girl, a real girly girl, my dear. You know it's not a topic for me." I stroked his hair Osc and saw that he was embarrassed. "Sorry, no, it wasn't intentional, we just wanted a little petting in the morning, it really wasn't a willful hetero kidnapper of my heart." "Petting?" Do you remember that he left home?” He had to get up and walk around, walked around the room, then ran out the door without saying a word. "Hmm, I really have to go, I'm sorry Loki, today's an important day, if I miss it I'll be punished." Sexily, I climbed on him for the last time and we started to kiss erotically in the armchair. "Should I ride your fucking dick like this as a farewell?" I cheekily smiled at him not only with my mouth, but also with my eyes. "Yes, it's best to go out like this today." I knew that if I was a good little girl today, I would be one too.. I stroked the back of him neck and started giggling. I've always loved the hot guy on other guys, so it will be the same now. "Loki is fighting, Loki is fighting."

Random makeup tips ♡ part 1?
- Understanding what’s in your makeup and skincare. Have you ever wondered why certain primers or moisturizers will make your concealer slip right off? It could be because the ingredients are clashing. Foundations, concealers, primers, sunscreens and moisturizers are typically silicone, water, or oil based. Mixing these different formulas can cause your makeup to pill, separate or slip off.
Silicone based is best for oily skin because it’s basically a built in primer. It’s waterproof, sweat proof, long lasting, and can have some UVB protection (wear sunscreen anyway, though). I would not pair this with dry skin. Make sure to thoroughly remove it or it could worsen acne prone skin. Not all silicones are compatible with water, but none work well with oil.
Water based is great for all skin types! These formulas are usually very light and natural. Best paired with other water based products, avoid oil. Certain silicones may work with water, but others could cause your makeup to slip throughout the day.
Oil based can be very good for giving dry skin moisture and glow, it can also be more viscous and hard to work with. May not work well with oily or acne prone skin. Do not mix with silicone or water based products.

Basic Makeup Tips: A Guide for Beginners
Welcome back! Today, I'm excited to share some of the essential makeup tips I've learned over the past few years. While I'm not a professional makeup artist, I've picked up some valuable insights that I think you'll find helpful. Let's get started!
Prepping your face before applying makeup
1. Cleanse your face using your facial cleanser or a facial pad. This is remove the impurities, dirt and oil from your skin. 2. Secondly, you go in with any serum of your choice. The serum helps to hydrate your skin. I highly recommend the Neutrogena Hydra Boost Serum. 3. Then go in with a moisturizer, I like to use La Roche Posay Double Repair face moisturizer. 4. Lastly, apply a hydrating sunscreen (SPF). I use the Supergoop Play Sunscreen. ~ This last part is optional, but applying primer can be done. Elf Pore Putty Primer is a must!!

ESSENTIALS TO HAVE IN MAKEUP COLLECTION
Applying makeup is a girl/women’s all time favourite activity. Therefore, it is crucial to have a collection with makeup essentials that will allow you to create a flawless everyday look. After acing the makeup basics, it becomes pretty much easier to add playful or quirky makeup products to your collection and incorporate them into your beauty styles.
The most important makeup essentials for your face, eyes, and lips have been listed for you. This can also be called as the ultimate guide to creating the ultimate makeup collection-
Face Primer- Face Primer is one of the essential products to keep in a makeup collection. It helps keep the skin look smooth and the makeup completely fresh all day long. It is the best formula to control oil and acne, moisturize, smooth out uneven texture and colour correct .
Foundation- Foundation is the most important makeup essential and probably the hardest part of your makeup routine to find the right shade. The right shade of foundation provides you full coverage and gives your face a more subtle and brighter look.
Concealer- If you have acne, dark circles, or any kind of discoloration, concealer is a must-have in your makeup kit. Concealers remove any such sort of face colour changes and make the skin look even and all in the same complexion.
Eyeliner/kajal- Eyes are the most beautiful part of our face. Eyes are made more beautiful by application of eyeliner of a slight hue of kohl/kajal. Eyeliner and kajal add the little extra something needed to really make your eyes look dreamy.
Lipstick/Lipgloss/ Lip Balm- Lips require our special care and attention. Lipsticks or a lip gloss adds to the overall look and compliments the outfit. Lip Balms tenderly care for the softness of lips and help them retain the natural colour and texture.
Sunscreen- Sunscreen is the most important makeup essential which should be worn everyday. It protects the skin from harmful UV rays and maintains the natural glow and lustre of the skin.
These are the makeup essentials that every makeup kit should have. Every amateur or even a professional makeup lover or makeup artist should always carry these makeup products with them!

Meeting Maven: Professional Makeup Looks for Busy Girls Conquering Meetings by Leaders such as Nozima Husainova
In the fast-paced world of business, busy women often juggle multiple responsibilities, leaving little time for elaborate beauty routines. However, a polished makeup look can significantly enhance confidence and create a positive impression in professional settings. Finding the right balance between efficiency and elegance is key for busy girls looking to conquer meetings. This blog aims to provide practical makeup tricks that cater to the demands of a hectic schedule while ensuring that you always look your best.
Prioritize Skincare for a Flawless Base
Skincare is the foundation of any great makeup look, especially for busy girls who need to look polished on the go. Investing time in a simple yet effective skincare routine can make a significant difference in how makeup applies and wears throughout the day. Start by cleansing the skin thoroughly to remove impurities and excess oil. Follow this with a lightweight moisturizer that suits your skin type, as hydration is key to achieving a smooth, radiant complexion. Additionally, incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen will protect the skin from harmful UV rays while serving as an excellent primer for makeup application.
Another essential step is to use a quality primer that suits your skin’s needs, whether it’s mattifying, hydrating, or pore-filling. A good primer not only smooths the skin’s surface but also helps makeup adhere better and last longer as highlighted by experts like Nozima Husainova. By prioritizing skincare, busy women can achieve a natural glow, allowing them to feel more confident without spending excessive time on makeup. Remember, a healthy canvas will make all the difference when applying makeup.
Choose Versatile Makeup Products
To maximize efficiency, choosing versatile makeup products is crucial for busy girls. Opt for multipurpose items that can serve more than one function, such as tinted moisturizers or BB creams that provide hydration, coverage, and sun protection all in one. Leaders such as Nozima Husainova mention that cream blushes and lip-and-cheek tints are excellent choices, allowing for quick application and seamless blending. These products not only save time but also reduce the number of items you need to carry, simplifying your makeup routine.
When selecting eyeshadows, consider palettes with complementary shades that can create both subtle day looks and more dramatic evening options. Neutral tones work exceptionally well for professional settings and can easily transition into a bolder look for after-hours events. By investing in multifunctional products, busy women can streamline their makeup process while still achieving a polished appearance, allowing them to focus on their important meetings.
Master Quick Application Techniques
Time management is essential for busy professionals, especially when it comes to makeup application. Mastering a few quick application techniques can make a world of difference. For instance, using your fingers to apply foundation or tinted moisturizer can save valuable minutes compared to using brushes or sponges. The warmth of your fingers helps blend the product seamlessly into the skin, providing a natural finish.
Another effective technique is to focus on key areas that enhance your features. Applying concealer only where needed—such as under the eyes or on blemishes—can create a fresh, awake look without the need for full-face coverage. Similarly, emphasizing the brows and lashes can instantly elevate your appearance. A quick swipe of brow gel and mascara can frame your face and draw attention to your eyes, making you look more awake and put together in just a few moments as pointed out by industry leaders including Nozima Husainova.
Create Effortless Eye Looks
The eyes are often the focal point of any makeup look, and creating effortless eye looks can be achieved with minimal products. A classic approach is to use a neutral eyeshadow base, followed by a slightly darker shade in the crease to add depth. For added definition, a quick line of eyeliner can create the illusion of fuller lashes without being overly dramatic. Alternatively, experts like Nozima Husainova suggest using a pencil eyeliner that can be smudged along the lash line for a softer, more relaxed effect.
For a touch of brightness, apply a highlighter or a light, shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corners of the eyes. This technique opens up the eyes and creates a well-rested look, which is particularly beneficial for busy girls who may not have had enough sleep. Remember, less is often more when it comes to professional settings; a clean, polished eye look can leave a lasting impression without appearing overdone.
Keep Lips Polished Yet Professional
Choosing the right lip color is essential for completing your professional makeup look. Opt for shades that complement your skin tone while remaining appropriate for the workplace. Neutral tones, soft pinks, and classic reds can elevate your look while maintaining professionalism. Consider using lip stains or tinted balms, which offer long-lasting color with a comfortable wear, perfect for those busy days filled with meetings.
When applying lip color, start with a lip liner to define the lips and prevent feathering. This simple step enhances the longevity of your lip color and keeps it looking fresh throughout the day. For an effortless finish, apply the lip color directly from the bullet or with your fingers for a more natural look. This technique allows for quick touch-ups and a polished appearance, ensuring you feel confident while presenting your ideas in meetings.
Set Your Makeup for All-Day Wear
To ensure your makeup stays flawless throughout busy workdays, setting it with the right products is crucial. After applying foundation, blush, and eye makeup, a translucent setting powder can help control shine and keep everything in place. Dusting a light layer of powder over your T-zone can reduce the need for touch-ups, allowing you to focus on your work instead of your makeup.
Busy girls can achieve polished professional makeup looks that stand up to the demands of a hectic schedule by incorporating efficient techniques and versatile products. Leaders such as Nozima Husainova express that prioritizing skincare, mastering quick application methods, and selecting multifunctional items can significantly streamline the makeup routine. By focusing on essential areas, such as the eyes and lips, busy women can create a sophisticated appearance that enhances their confidence during important meetings.

https://www.tumblr.com/tchouameninga/768493240168185856/random-question-but-whats-ur-fav-mascara-if-u
I don’t even have a skincare routine cus I have acne and sensitive skin and literally everything makes my skin worse. Makes me wanna kms :/
ok sooo. full looooooooooooooooooooooong response under the cut cuz i dont wanna bother other ppl w skincare & makeup lol. personally i love it but i get its not for everyone 😭
when i was younger from about 13 to 18 years old i suffered reaaaaally bad acne. like it covered my entire face, refer below
this is before and after (i dont have a better photo of when i was younger lol. i think i was abt 13 in the before photo, and i’m 22 now. so almost 9 yrs apart). its not the best skin itw but it’s improved so much. barely get any acne, and if i do it’s during the time of my period. some scarring still, but i’m working on that even til now
tried to conceal my identity best i could lol
idk how old u are but if u’re below 18, don’t worry too much abt it bc it’s mostly just puberty!! trust me. also for context my skin type is dry AND oily AND acne prone so it’s literally the worst 😭
i used to be scared of skincare and makeup too cuz obviously u see how bad it was (and it wasnt even my worst phase, i just dont have pics unfortunately).
but then if you invest on good makeup in the higher end, obviously if you have the funds- make up is not a necessity-, they’re not bad for your skin. you just need to find the right one (e.g. water-based or silicone-based). but what’s important is to MOISTURISE AND HYDRATE!!! even with oily skin, u have to do so no matter what
for skincare i do recommend doing a lot of research!!! i was too scared / disheartened to do so, but luckily my mum was attentive enough to do so for me. what i recommend is laser treatments. it’s life changing, believe me. my skin cleared up after about a year of consistent laser treatments. DONT do facials if u have acne prone skin. worst decision you could make
and of course visiting the dermatologist would help but having a good routine is sooo important as well. cleansing is the most important part. before bed, cleanse even if u’ve been at home all day. after makeup, double cleanse. in the morning, cleanse again!!
hyaluronic acid for the serum is good, but it’s not an acne treatment on its own. and then niacinamide acid for the acne scars. hyaluronic acid for night, niacinamide for the morning
you should talk to an expert abt this because it’s quite a harsh product, but RETINOL for me helped so much too!! it treats acne, creates collagen (for skin cells) and good for hyperpigmentation. but retinol should only be used at night cuz its not good w sunlight
and then after this tie it up with a scent free moisturiser (also choose based on ur skin type) and then some sort of oil to lock everything in. but if u have really oily skin skip this step
FINALLY what’s MOST MOST MOST important is sunscreen. like i cannot emphasise this enough. even with a UV level of 1, use sunscreen. please
ok i lied what’s actually MOST IMPORTANT is the food that u eat. stop eating oily stuff, stop eating fried food, avoid nuts and dairy. consume lots of veggies and fruits for antioxidation (idk if its a word or not lol)
for makeup i use armani luminous silk (foundation), dior forever skin (concealer), charlotte tilbury filmstar bronze & glow (highlighter and bronzer), charlotte tilbury airbrush (primer & setting spray), diorshow browstyler (brows). then a bunch of lipsticks. for lashes i use extensions lol cuz my situation is hopeless
my skincare routine is 90% la roche posay (serum, retinol & moisturiser). masqmai beauty elixir (oil to tie everything up), and then if you want lips i use laneige
disclaimer i’m not a dermatologist lol i don’t have a degree or anything, i do LAW ffs 😭 but i have done so much research and everything is based on my personal experience and it has done wonders for me and my skin. again i’m not saying my skin is the clearest, but my god it’s improved so much and it’s such a long journey but it DID. my only credentials is my friends go to me for skincare and makeup advice 💀
i hope you found this helpful and not condescending at all like i’m aware i’m not some victoria secret angel but yea 😭 pls dont hesitate to ask me any more questions abt these things

1. Simplify Your Routine with a Cleanser and Moisturizer Combo
If you’re pressed for time, a gentle cleanser that doubles as a moisturizer is a game-changer. Look for creamy cleansers that hydrate while they cleanse, so your skin stays soft and moisturized even if you skip a few extra steps. This will save time without compromising on hydration or cleanliness.
2. Use Micellar Water for Fast Cleansing
Micellar water is a quick and easy way to cleanse your face without needing to rinse. It’s perfect for women who need a fast refresh during the day, or for removing makeup at night. Simply soak a cotton pad with micellar water and swipe it over your face for a thorough cleanse.
3. Prioritize SPF
No matter how busy you are, never skip sunscreen. A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential for protecting your skin from UV damage, which accelerates aging and can lead to hyperpigmentation. For a time-saving solution, opt for a moisturizer with SPF, so you can hydrate and protect your skin in one step.
4. Opt for a Serum with Multiple Benefits
Serums are lightweight, absorb quickly, and pack a powerful punch of nutrients. Choose a multitasking serum that addresses several skin concerns—like hydration, anti-aging, and brightening. Ingredients like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide work together to brighten skin, boost moisture, and even out skin tone.
5. Use Sheet Masks for a Quick Boost
Sheet masks are a fast and effective way to hydrate, brighten, or soothe your skin, especially when you’re in a rush. Apply a sheet mask while you’re having breakfast or catching up on emails. In just 10-15 minutes, you’ll have glowing, refreshed skin with minimal effort.
6. Eye Cream in the Morning
Brighten your eyes and reduce puffiness with a quick application of eye cream in the morning. Look for products with caffeine or vitamin C serum to help reduce dark circles and wake up tired eyes.
Time-Saving Makeup Hacks for Women On-the-Go
1. BB or CC Cream for Quick Coverage
Instead of applying multiple layers of foundation, concealer, and primer, opt for a BB cream or CC cream. These products combine coverage, SPF, hydration, and even skin tone all in one step. They’re perfect for women who want light to medium coverage and a natural finish without spending too much time on makeup.
2. Use a Cream Blush
Cream blushes are easy to blend with your fingers and can double as a lip tint. This two-in-one hack saves time, giving your face a quick flush of color without needing a brush. Plus, cream blushes offer a natural, dewy finish, perfect for a fresh, healthy glow.
3. Master the One-Minute Eye Look
When you don’t have time for a full eyeshadow application, opt for a single neutral shade that can be swept over the lids for a quick wash of color. Champagne, bronze, or light brown tones work well on all skin tones and can give your eyes a polished look with minimal effort. Finish with a swipe of mascara for instant definition.
4. Skip the Liquid Eyeliner
For an easy eye look, skip the time-consuming liquid eyeliner and go for a soft, smoky line with an eyeliner pencil or eyeshadow. Smudge the product along your upper lash line for a softer, more forgiving look that’s easier to correct if you make a mistake.
5. Focus on Brows
Well-groomed brows can instantly frame your face, even when you’re wearing minimal makeup. Keep a tinted brow gel on hand to quickly fill in sparse areas and shape your brows in seconds. The gel formula will also keep your brows in place throughout the day.
6. Invest in a Long-Lasting Lip Product
To save time on touch-ups, choose a long-wearing lip product that stays put throughout the day. Liquid lipsticks, lip stains, or tinted lip balms provide color that lasts without needing constant reapplication. For a quick boost of hydration and color, go for a tinted lip balm that doubles as a nourishing lip treatment.
Multi-Purpose Beauty Products for Women On-the-Go
Multitasking beauty products are a lifesaver for busy women. These versatile items reduce the number of products in your routine, helping you streamline your beauty regimen without sacrificing results.
1. All-in-One Moisturizer with SPF
An all-in-one moisturizer that includes SPF is a must-have for women on the go. Not only does it save time, but it also ensures your skin stays hydrated and protected from harmful UV rays. Opt for one with added antioxidants like vitamin E to combat free radical damage and boost skin radiance.
2. Lip and Cheek Tint
A product that doubles as both a blush and a lip color can save you precious time in the morning. A lip and cheek tint is perfect for adding a pop of color to both your lips and cheeks, giving you a coordinated look with just one product.
3. Multipurpose Concealer
Find a concealer that can work for more than just covering blemishes. A multipurpose concealer can also act as a foundation when applied in a thin layer across the face. Choose a creamy formula that blends easily into the skin for a flawless, natural finish.
4. Hair and Body Oil
A lightweight oil that works for both your hair and body is a great addition to your routine. Look for nourishing oils like argan oil or jojoba oil, which can tame frizz, add shine to your hair, and moisturize your skin. This way, you can tackle multiple beauty concerns with just one product.
5. Tinted Moisturizer with Skincare Benefits
A tinted moisturizer that combines coverage with skincare benefits like SPF, antioxidants, and hydration is perfect for busy women. This product eliminates the need for foundation, sunscreen, and a moisturizer in your routine, saving you time while giving your skin a healthy, radiant look.
6. Dry Shampoo with Added Volume
Dry shampoo is a time-saving hero for women who don’t have time to wash their hair every day. Opt for a dry shampoo that also adds volume to your roots, giving you a refreshed, voluminous look in seconds. This product is perfect for reviving second-day hair, especially when you’re in a rush.
Nighttime Beauty Routine for Busy Women
ven though you’re busy, your nighttime routine is essential for keeping your skin and hair healthy. Here’s how to maximize your nighttime beauty routine, even with limited time.
1. Double Cleanse
After a long day, double cleansing ensures all makeup, dirt, and pollutants are removed from your skin. Start with an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to cleanse the skin deeply.
2. Overnight Masks
If you don’t have time for a long skincare routine, opt for an overnight mask that works while you sleep. Look for masks that focus on hydration, anti-aging, or brightening to wake up with refreshed, glowing skin.
3. Silk Pillowcase
Invest in a silk pillowcase to help reduce hair breakage and minimize wrinkles. Silk is gentler on the skin and hair, preventing frizz and creases during sleep. It’s a small change with significant benefits for both skin and hair.
4. Nighttime Haircare
If you don’t have time to style your hair in the morning, prepare it the night before. Braid damp hair for heatless waves, or apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to nourish your strands while you sleep. This will make morning styling faster and easier.
Conclusion: Beauty in Minutes
Even with a busy schedule, looking and feeling your best doesn’t have to be a challenge. With these time-saving skincare and makeup tips, along with multitasking beauty products, you can simplify your routine without sacrificing results. From quick cleanses to multipurpose makeup, these beauty hacks are perfect for women on the go who want to maintain glowing skin and polished looks in minimal time.
By incorporating just a few of these beauty tricks into your routine, you’ll be able to streamline your morning and evening rituals while still feeling confident and beautiful throughout the day. Whether you’re juggling work, family, or social commitments, these hacks ensure you’re ready to go with a glowing complexion and a fabulous look!
