“Kiwi, whipping cream, vanilla, honey, and haircut?” the groceries were no longer significant as Kento walked over the kitchen threshold.

The lack of a trim was obvious in the last few weeks; Anniversary trip with an immediate work trip after left no time for a barber visit. Kento eventually was able to pencil in an appointment.

“Hmm?”

“You got a haircut.”

Kento looked up from his phone and in your direction. “Oh, yeah. Itadori-kun and I went to the barber before he went out with his friends. It was time to get a proper cut.” he sat at the kitchen table, legs spread as he faced you. Vastly different from the uniformed 7:3 style he usually dawned, it was down and in its much more relaxed state. A vision of perfection in the form of blonde locks.

You wasted no time skipping over to him, standing between said legs. “Did you get it shorter than usual?” manicured hands combing through the blonde locks that framed his face, the corner of his lip tightened, lifting as his eyebrow raised.

“Don't think so. Just didn't have him add pomade to style it like usual. Does it look bad?”

Not one for wasting time, you went to the undercut immediately and began dragging your nail tips over the fresh cut as you sat in his lap.

“Who told you to be this handsome?” Warm, inviting sparks seemed to make their way across your soft paunch as he palmed the part of your ass that hung off his lap.

“I apologize for being so easy on the eyes. I'll have to work on that.”

“Please do. It's distracting, Kento. My poor grocery list isn't completed.”

The nippy sensation of his lips found your jaw. Small, butterfly kisses against your cheek as his lips danced down your neck. “My poor wife, unable to finish her daunting task because I cause such disruptions.” The delicate trace of his middle finger sliding the strap of your dress down your shoulder sent a shot of electricity between your thighs. “This will be rectified later.”

“Y-yeah… poor me.” faint but heard loud and clear as it spilled from your lips.

“Though.” you groaned from the lack of contact as he pulled away to gab. “I could do the grocery shopping for you. I still have to get my dry cleaning.”

“Absolutely the fuck not.”

“No?”

“No.” sighing as you stood up. “You’re a little too handsome today. I'll get the groceries and pick up your dry cleaning before 3. You stay here and be handsome in the privacy of our home.”

Kento scoffed, tisking as he came up to you, trapping your body against the counter. “Well then you can't go either.” cocking your head a few degrees, puzzlement filled your face. “I can't?”

“How did you word it? Absolutely the fuck not.” a mischief-laden smile made its way onto his face.

“Why not?”

“Because you're looking a little too heavenly today and the thought of another man being able to drink in this perfection might send me over the edge.” Sliding to the side, Kento picks up the grocery list. “I'd hate to cause a scene at the deli service counter.” he adds a few more items before folding and placing the paper in his pocket.

“You’re driving. And I'd like to stop for boba after we get your dry-cleaning.”

Kento smacked your rear. “Anyrhing for you.”

The micro-moments that kept your marriage exciting always seemed to be in the kitchen.

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

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.

can you go more in depth on beauty secrets by geishas? i’ve always found them so interesting.

Geisha are very secretive about their inner lives, so it's hard to know for sure things like exactly what they would have done during their skincare routine or what kind of perfume they used, but we do know about their makeup, hair, and clothing. A lot of this information comes from the most successful geiko of Kyoto, Mineko Iwasaki's memoir Geisha, A Life (also known as Geisha of Gion), which was controversial among her peers as she revealed a lot of behind the scenes info on what life as a geisha is like. It's a very interesting read if you're interested in the inner lives of geisha. It can be downloaded on Libgen.

The Geisha Ideal

Mineko Iwasaki described how a geisha is meant to look:

She has the classic looks of a Heian princess, as though she might have stepped out of an eleventh-century scroll painting. Her face is a perfect oval. Her skin is white and flawless, her hair black as a raven’s wing. Her brows are half moons, her mouth a delicate rosebud. Her neck is long and sensuous, her figure gently rounded.

Makeup

Geisha wear highly stylised makeup derived from the kabuki tradition.

Foundation: Bintsuke oil paste is applied to the face, neck, and upper back as a base.

White Makeup: White face powder, made of rice powder, is mixed with water to form a paste. The face, neck, and upper chest are painted. Three stripes on the back of the neck are left unpainted in order to emphasize its slenderness, as in Japan the nape of the neck is considered beautiful. If wearing ordinary kimonos instead of formal outfit, only two lines will be left unpainted.

Eyebrows and eyes: As their eyebrows have been covered up by the white makeup, they are redrawn in pencil or charcoal. Black eyeliner is worn on the top lash line. Maiko (trainee geisha) use distinctive red eye makeup, whereas as geisha wear black eye makeup or may use subtle red makeup at the start of their brows. A crescent moon eyebrow shape is preferred.

Blush: Maiko wear pink blush on their cheeks, whereas geishas faces are completely white.

Lips: Maiko only paint one of their lips, while geisha paint both lips. They use a bold red lipstick which is derived from the red safflower, mixing it with water (and some also add sugar). They use a brush to paint a shape a bit smaller than their natural lip shape, as small lips are considered delicate. Tatcha has a lipstick called Kyoto Red which is in the same shade of red that geishas use.

Older geisha typically only wear a full face of makeup for performances and special occasions.

In the past, geisha would paint their teeth black, but today it is very uncommon, although some Kyoto geisha still practice it.

Hair

There are different hairstyles for different stages of a geisha's career.

Junior maiko wear the wareshinobu (split peach) style.

Senior maiko wear the ofuku style

Yakko is worn for formal events

Katsuyama is worn for one month before and one month after the Gion Festival in July

The sakko is worn in the final month of a maiko's training. On their very last day as a maiko, the tie holding their topknot is ritually cut off.

After becoming geisha, they wear the shimada hairstyle, an elaborate high chignon.

Mineko Iwasaki's description of the wareshinobu style:

The hair is swept up and sculpted into a mass on the top of the head that is secured by red silk bands (kanoko) front and back and decorated with kanzashi, the stick pin ornaments so distinctive of the karyukai look. It is said that this simple, elegant style showcases the curve of the young girl’s neck and the freshness of her features to their best advantage.

To preserve their elaborate hairstyles, geisha would sleep on a rectangular lacquered wooden pillow topped with a narrow cushion. If a girl found it difficult to sleep on these pillows, the maids would sprinkle rice bran around the pillow, so that if the girl removed the pillow, bits of bran would stick to the pomade in her hair, forcing her to have to go to the hairdressers again. Geisha would visit the hairdressers every five days.

These days geisha just wear wigs, which as well as being more convenient, also prevent bald spots from forming, a common problem geisha in the past dealt with due to constant stress on the roots of their hair. Maiko are still required to use their real hair.

Geisha also got their faces shaved when they went to the hairdresser.

As well as wearing their hair in elaborate styles, geisha also decorate them with ornaments. This description is of the first set of hair ornaments Mineko Iwasaki wore:

I wore two hairpins tipped with silk plum blossoms (because it was February) on the sides of the back of the bun, a pair of silver flutters (bira) on the sides in front, an orange blossom pin (tachibana) on top, and a long pin tipped with balls of red coral (akadama) and jade, inserted horizontally through the base.

Maiko wear colourful hair ornaments with flower motifs that change every month.

Full-fledged geisha don't wear as many hair ornaments, just a simple comb and hairpins, and their hairpins aren't as elaborate as the ones worn by maikos.

The hair ornaments serve purposes other than just decoration. The pointed ends of the pins are used to protect geisha from attacks, and the coral ornaments worn in colder months are used to test whether sake has been poisoned as coral breaks in the presence of poison.

Fashion

Maiko wear more elaborate outfits than geisha do in order to compensate for their lack of expertise and knowledge. Mineko Iwasaki described one of her maiko outfits this way:

My kimono was made out of figured satin in variegated turquoise. The heavy hem of the train was dyed in shades of burnt orange, against which floated a drift of pine needles, maple leaves, cherry blossoms and chrysanthemum petals. My obi was made of black damask decorated with swallowtail butterflies. I wore a matching obi clasp of a swallowtail butterfly fashioned out of silver.

I carried the traditional handbag called a kago, which has a basketweave base topped by a drawstring pouch of colorful tie dyed silk, shibori, which is made by tying silk into a myriad of minute knots with thread before it is dyed. The result is a stunning dappled effect. Kyoto is famous for this technique. It is the one that was practiced by my mother.

The shibori of my handbag was pale peach and sported a design of cabbage butterflies. It held my dancing fan (decorated with the three red diamonds of the Konoe family [close advisers to the emperor] painted on a gold background), a red-and-white hand towel decorated in a matching pattern, a boxwood comb, and various other accessories. All of these were encased in covers made from the same silk as the bag, and all of them were monogrammed.

Maiko wear a collar called eri, which is hand-sewn onto the nagajuban (a robe worn under the kimono) for each wearing. These red collars tell a story in and of themselves. They are made from silk that has been finely embroidered with white, silver, and gold thread. The younger one is the less dense the embroidery and the more visible the red of the silk. As one matures, the appliqué becomes heavier until little red (a symbol of childhood) can be seen. The progression continues until the day one “turns one’s collar” from maiko to geiko and begins to wear a white collar instead of a red one.

Under their clothes, geisha wear two rectangular undergarments made of cotton, one wrapped tight around the chest and the other wrapped tight around the hips. This helps flattens and smoothes the lines of the kimono. Next comes a long cotton hip wrap, like a half-slip, then a pair of long bloomers to preserve modesty should the front fold of the kimono open.

Next comes the hadajuban, a loose blouselike garment that follows the lines of the kimono. A maiko’s hadajuban has a red collar. Over this, a full length under robe is worn called a nagajuban. Mineko Iwasaki described hers as being "made from tie-died silk figured with a fan-shaped pattern and embroidered with an assortment of flowers."

After their undergarments are on, the kimono and obi (sash) are put on. Their kimono and obi have different designs for each season. For example, in summer, a kimono with hydrangeas might be worn and in Autumn a kimono with maple leaves might be worn. Kimonos for the winter months are made from thicker silk than kimonos for the warm months.

Geisha wear kimonos with more subdued colours and shorter obis than maiko do. A maiko's long obi will sometimes have the crest of the okiya she lives in on it. The clothes worn by geisha and maiko alike are made of expensive silk and are tailor made.

Geisha aren't dressed by themselves, but rather they have professional dressers who dress them every day. The dressers must ensure perfection, and they are the ones who bear the blame if anything is missing, out of place, or seasonally inappropriate.

Mineko describes a maiko's shoes as thus:

Kimono are always worn with either wooden or leather sandals. Okobo, 6-inch-high clog-like wooden sandals, are a distinctive part of a maiko’s outfit. The height of the sandal is a counterbalance to the dangling ends of the maiko’s long obi. Okobo are difficult to walk in, but the mincing gait they ensure is thought to add to the maiko’s allure.

Maiko and geiko always wear white tabi socks. The big toe of the tabi is separated, like a mitten, so that the toes can grip the sandal easily. We wear socks one size smaller than our shoe size, which leads a neat and dainty appearance to the foot.

First year maiko's shoes have little bells dangling from them that makes a sound when they move. Geisha wear flat zori or geta rather than okobo.

The finishing touches to a geisha's outfit are a kimono bag and a fan.

Skincare

We don't know what geisha did when they were sat in front of their mirrors after removing makeup, but we can speculate based on the kind of skincare Japanese women used in times past.

Translucent, white skin was a Japanese ideal of feminine beauty, so they might have used whitening face creams. Camellia oil is commonly used as a cleanser, moisturiser, and to remove makeup in Japan. Rice bran is also used as a cleanser (it's good for dissolving binsuke) and ground azuki beans are used as an exfoliater. Cooled green tea, full of antioxidants, is used as a toner. Squalane and seaweed are used as moisturizers. Parasols are used to protect the skin from the sun.

Mineko Iwasaki describes a bath she took after a long day:

I lowered myself gingerly into the steaming water and soaked until my skin was supple. Then I got out of the tub and, with a bucket and hot water from a spigot in the wall, washed thoroughly with soap and water. Next I rubbed myself all over with a net pouch filled with rice bran. Rice bran contains a significant amount of Vitamin B and is great for the skin. Then I got back in the tub for a final soak.

Geisha also bathe in onsens.

Perfume

We do know geisha wear perfume, but specific fragrances are hard to pin down.

Guerlain made a perfume called "Yakko," inspired by the geisha Sadayakko, who was the first geisha to travel Europe, inspired Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly, and licensed her name to a range of beauty products. It's hard to find any information on the Yakko perfume or what notes it contained, but Guerlain's famous Mitsouko perfume came out in 1919. Inspired by Japan, it contains bergamot, peach, jasmine, rose, and spices.

In the early 20th century, perfumes by French designers like Guerlain, Coty, Chanel and Patou became fashionable among upper class Japanese women, so it's possible geisha used fragrances from these houses to further enhance their allure.

Mineko Iwasaki described one of the first geisha she knew as wearing strong perfume, which caused a cloud of scent to waft into the room every time she fluttered her fan, so perhaps in times past geisha wore perfumes with loud projection that helped them be noticed. In modern Japan, strong perfume is unpopular, as it can bother people on public transport and interfere with the smell and taste of food in restaurants. Geisha, being the perfect hostesses, may not choose a heavy perfume in the modern era so as to follow etiquette and not disturb their clients while they're enjoying a nice meal. Brands known for their light perfumes like Maison Margiela and Diptyque are top-sellers in Japan.

Until the mid 19th century in Japan, it was common for women to scent their kimonos by leaving them on top of an incense burner in a small cage.

Geisha and oiran (courtesans) would carry pieces of scented wood in their sleeves, and would rub scented powder into their hands and necks.

Misc

Mineko Iwasaki described carrying a handbag which contained her fan, a hand towel, lipstick, comb, and a small cushion. Every item had its own carrying case made from Eriman red silk and monogrammed in white with the characters for Mineko.

Shiseido, a brand which is still going strong today, was founded in Japan in 1872. Among their most popular early cosmetics were scented hair tonics and floral perfumes, which were considered to contribute to the brand's luxurious image, helping to make it popular with Japan's upper class. Geisha were at the forefront of beauty and sophistication, so while there's no documentation of it, it's likely that some of their products found their way into the toilettes of geisha due to its prominence in early 20th century Japan and sophisticated image.

Tatcha, founded in 2009, is inspired by geisha beauty routines. The founder of Tatcha interviewed a geisha in Kyoto who was willing to share some of the closely guarded geisha beauty secrets, which would form the inspiration for Tatcha.

A big part of the geisha's appeal isn't just her looks, but her demeanor, the way she moves, and her conversational skills. Geisha train in dance and traditional Japanese arts and are experts at having sophisticated conversations. Not going to go into too much detail as it's its own topic, but it's good to remember that a big part of their mystique comes from their talent, grace and etiquette, not just their physical beauty. They're the full package, not just part of it.

Diana I am going to ask you a weird question but I cannot think of anyone else who would have an answer for me, and you are so learned in the ways of cosmetics. Is there any easy way to make one's eyebrows funny colours in the short term? I mean, not dying them, but like, could I put eyeshadow on them? Maybe lipstick? What would happen if I brushed nail polish on them? Honestly I don't even know why I would want my eyebrows to be funny colours, but since the idea came into my head I cannot stop thinking about it.

good news I do this a lot for cosplay so I actually know!

it’s easier if your brows aren’t super black (mine are a dark grey brown), but even then, here’s some go to methods I use in order of how often I use them

1) use a white creamy base (I go for nyx jumbo pencil in milk because I’m old school), brush it with a spoolie to evenly coat, and use colored eyeshadow to fill like brow powder. Sometimes I’m super lazy and just skip the white base, especially if I’ve bleached my brows a bit

2) colored pomade. When I had burgundy hair this was my daily go to! The best I’ve tried is by KVD (which no longer gives money to Kat Von D?? they bought her out but kept the name).

3) color mascara

4) if you have a weird color liquid lipstick… well don’t contaminate your lipstick with an eyebrow brush or your actual eyebrows (put it on a palette and then pick it up!!!) but it works

Nail polish is right out.

baking happens after you use all of your liquid and cream products. so foundation, concealer, cream, blush, etc.

(ex. cream blush would go before baking but powder blush can go after bc there’s no need to bake it)

baking is typically for full/heavier faces of makeup so it’s not a commonly used for makeup trends lately since they focus more on natural “no makeup” makeup. instead they use a light layer of setting powder (also used for making) or a pressed powder to set their face. it’s not even always used all over, sometimes just in my oily spots.

i personally just set under my eyes and use setting spray for the rest of my face because i hate looking too matte (but i do keep pressed powder on me when it’s hot out just to get rid of any oil that may show up throughout the day)

so baking doesn’t necessarily come after contour if the contour is powder, i’m p sure you can do it after. i’ll try to find a good tutorial but tiktoks search system is so fucked rn so give me some time.

https://www.ipsy.com/blog/baking-vs-setting-makeup

this is also a very good article explaining the difference between baking and regular setting. but i find a visual tutorial is always a little better.

you can do your base routine before or after eye makeup it’s really just a personal preference. i do mine before bc i have my go -to eye routine so on lock that i’m not concerned about fucking it up. i know a lot of professional make up artists do it first bc sometimes the way their eye makeup looks will dictate the placement of some parts of their base routine.

contour goes on the parts of your face where there are shadows. hollows of your cheeks, jawline, nose. i’ve been told to blend cheek contour upwards to make your face more sharp looking, and blend your jaw contour down to achieve that same effect.

bronzer (if you’re into that) would go on the parts of your face that the sun hit bc it’s supposed to warm you up. i tend to skip this step bc there aren’t a lot of cool toned bronzers.

idk if you put eyeshadow under your eyes too but i think it looks really nice. a small brush + blending it out just a bit under your waterline + eyeliner in your waterline!!! so good

i don’t have the right eyes for lashes (f in the chat for me) so i just really make sure my mascara is a good one. essence lash princess (the one with the green on it) is super affordable and very good. also maybelline has a shit time of popular and really good mascaras that are cheap as hell

pastes/pomades for brows are great, i use one regularly but i’m very light with my strokes bc i was once told i look like a villain if my brows are too bold. brow pencils are also great if you want preciseness

i also learned how to do my makeup through trial and error. a LOT of trial and error bc i A) suck at follow tutorials and B) didn’t have similar features to any of the people i was watching. so i just had to figure it out on my own so i really recommend that no matter what tutorials you watch A) adapt them to your face shape and B) continue using trial and error and explore your face and features on your own

i’ll be back with some vids if i can find any :)

idc about makeup trends rn with the whole "natural" "cleaner" look fuck that. i have a guy's face that needs to be painted over with gothic meets party girl makeup. thank you for explaining baking and for the blush bit. i typically don't use any blush at all and i don't see myself using it in the future, i've never been a fan of how it looks on me

the tip about keeping pressed powder on you for oily bits throughout the day, and the link are supremely helpful thank you smm

got it i'll skip the bronzer i didn't know if there was a cool toned version of it to use

i have like old mascara that i inherited from one of my sisters so ill prolly get a new one soon thank u for the tips, and for the eyebrows i have the clay/pomade like i told u but i got too light of a color so do that first and then i darken it with black eyeshadow and then i sharpen it using concealer which is what u saw in the pic. i think i could stand to make them darker bcos i like bold eyebrows but i guess it might make me look too masculine which would defeat the purpose of wearing the full face of makeup to warp those existing traits

the paragraph about learning through trial and error was literally what i've been doing my entire experience with makeup. no mainstream makeup looks ever complimented me and i wasnt rly going for a drag look bcos i'm trying to be a touch more subtle with it. the problem i was running into which drove me to ask the chat for tips is bcos im self taught that means a lot of stuff i don't know how to works or what to ask or the order etc so you've been extremely helpful on that front especially with building confidence so thank you

#indy shoots the shit #thanks for the msg!!#anon

Im 15 so I dont really get some of the millennial slang but I do have a question…….

What was the most popular like songs during that time yk? Like what was EVERYONE listening to and like what was something that everyone did (dressed, makeup, hair, music, shows) all that

Was it cool fr to live like that?

Not related to the blog, but it kinda is since he is 36 so like he was born during that time yk

Also was AHS a big thing when it came out like everyone and they mama was watching that?? Mbn fr💯💯

hello youth, sit back and let me tell you about what life was like starting way back in 2012 when thee evan peters became an important figure in my and many others lives! i mean, it was very cool to me, but maybe that's how everyone remembers their youth because i was 20 years old.

tumblr was the social media platform of choice for cool kids. not that we didn't love twitter and instagram, but tumblr was where you went for your fandom fix and to chat with like-minded folks. and to post and reblog many-a gif sets and graphics. somewhere on a hard drive are thousands of gif sets and graphics i created in my heyday as a successful criminal minds blogger and matthew gray gubler devotee. but i digress..

in 2012 rihanna was still making music, katy perry was enjoying relevancy, one direction was taking off, plenty of other still familiar names were putting out music at the peak of their success.. but if you spent time on tumblr you were sure to find plenty of listeners of lana del rey, frank ocean, the weeknd, marina and the diamonds, the 1975, arctic monkeys, and lorde to name a few.

in 2012 fashionistas everywhere committed to wearing awful peplum tops and dresses. not me, but i'll never forgive this. black, sometimes ripped skinny jeans, graphic print statement tees, big wedge sneakers, gaudy prints like chevron and nautical themed clothing and accessories.. oh, and these particular platforms that had women everywhere in a chokehold:

and good luck finding photos of any woman from this time-frame whose eyebrows did not look like this, because anastasia beverly hills popularized pencils and pomades to allow you to channel your inner cara delevingne (very relevant)

yes, bold make-up was in. smoky eyes and ''beachy waves'' in your hair! what a time to be alive.

and yes: AHS was quite a big deal when it first came out. it was hard to escape people talking about it online. and for several years after it debuted.. if AHS, and specifically evan peters, had not been so inescapable on this app, i would never have ''discovered'' him.

oh to be alive in 2012, listening to channel orange and feverishly refreshing tumblr for more gif sets of evan peters.

#i'm sorry i have no idea if this is serious but this was a hilarious ask to receive #flashback time #NOSTALGIA ULTRA

SIMPLE AUTUMN GLAM: FAITH’S GUIDE

OVERVIEW

This is a warm, everyday, completely matte look for the autumn season. The focus areas are the eyes, brows and lips.

PRODUCTS

Primer

Baby Powder

Foundation

Concealer

Pressed Powder

Setting Powder

Brow Gel

Brow Pomade

Eyeliner

Lash Glue/ Bonding Glue

Strip Lashes/ Cluster Lashes

Burgundy/ Dark Brown/ Dark Mauve Lipstick

Lip Liner in the same colour

TOOLS

Powder Brush

Beauty Blender

FIRST

Apply a small amount of lip balm to your lips

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

Blend it in with a damp beauty blender

#faithtip: dampen your beauty blender with a matte setting spray for easier blending and a longer-lasting matte base

After blending in your foundation/tinted moisturiser, apply a concealer that is only slightly lighter than your skin tone to the inner corner of your under-eye

Place concealer to the end of your under-eyes following the shape of your eyes

Blend it in well with a beauty blender

When blending with the beauty blender, be sure to follow your natural eye shape

Take a powder brush and some pressed powder and apply all over your face

Now, apply setting powder to your under eyes, using a beauty blender, following your eye shape.

Place a line of setting powder under your cheeks

Let the setting powder sit whilst you move on to your brows

BROWS

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 tour 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.

EYELINER

#faithtip: Use a black eyeliner pencil to draw out the shape of your eyeliner first and use the pencil or liquid liner to fill it in.

Apply eyeliner that best suits your eye shape

from thequickflick.com.au

LASHES

For everyday, wearing lash clusters/ lash extensions are much quicker than applying lashes everyday

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

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

BACK TO THE BASE

Using a powder brush, brush away/blend out the loose powder, under your eyes, under your cheeks and around your eyebrows

Blend VERY well, as the powder has been sat on your face for a while, so it will not move easily

After this, apply a warm gold/bronze tone highlighter on the tip of your nose

You can also apply highlighter to the inner corners of your eyes

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 3-4 times

LIPS

Apply a dark brown, dark mauve or dark mauve matte lipstick to your lips

Use a slightly darker lip liner to outline your lips

If the lip liner line is harsh, use a brush to create an ombré effect

That’s the makeup look done.

Thanks for reading,

Kiss Kiss

Faith xx

Whenever thicker bushier eyebrows become stylish it’s never actually an actual “natural” version of thick bushy eyebrows. They’re still always waxed and plucked and tinted and penciled and pomaded and tattooed and permed to perfection. Might as well tape two chinchillas to your face with all the care and preening that you need to go through through to make them socially accepted as “on fleek” as a fashion statement instead of just messy and ugly. You better not have even a single hair on the bridge of your nose.

The fashionable eyebrow has never even been a completely natural one, not since we first figured out that you can paint on yourself with rocks and berries and stuff. How else are we going to get you to buy an endless ever changing stream of stuff from tweezers and pencils to growth serums and microblading sessions? Like the last round of the bigger brow being “in” made wasn’t some grand body acceptance victory. We just Mrs. Anastasia Beverlyhills herself a billionaire because to not look like a slob you had to learn how to draw your brows on in a completely different way.

Please figure out what actually works for you personally, what you are actually happy with, and what fits your budget

I ended up getting a pack of like 5 razors from the dollar store in like 2018 and I have been without ever since. You can also get a pretty decent eyebrow pencil there too. I just feel like my natural ones are way too low on my face and especially if I’m drawing them in like 2016 era beauty guru thick they make my eyes look smaller and I don’t have any room for eyeshadow (the real fun part of makeup). Plus I saved a lot on money. The waxing sessions my mom took me to were getting unjustifiably expensive and the lady who did the waxing never would actually give me what I wanted. It’s like she only knew how to do exactly one type of eyebrow.

Just figure out what you actually like and fuck trends, it’s just going to swing back in the other direction eventually.

zoomers i am going to give you some fathrly advice: really plucked brows are coming back. dont do it. you cn permanently fuck them up and in 5 yrs when its not on trend you will look like shit. a groomed natural brow works in every era of fashion theres lots of ways to comb and style brows to trend without mangling them. im just saying this as someone who saw what happened to 80s moms who went crazy wth the tweezers

Brow Lamination: Everything You Need to Know for Flawless, Full Brows

Achieving the perfect brows can dramatically enhance your overall look. If you’re after fuller, more defined, and perfectly groomed eyebrows without committing to semi-permanent options like microblading, brow lamination might be the perfect solution. This innovative beauty treatment has taken the beauty industry by storm, offering a way to tame unruly brows, fill in sparse areas, and create a polished look.

In this article, we’ll dive deep into what brow lamination is, how it works, its benefits, and tips for maintaining those beautiful, lifted brows.

What is Brow Lamination?

Brow lamination is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that smooths, lifts, and sets your eyebrow hairs in place, creating a fuller and more symmetrical appearance. Often referred to as a "brow perm," this technique involves applying a special solution to relax and reshape brow hairs, allowing them to be brushed into the desired position.

The result? A sleek, uniform, and well-defined brow shape that lasts for weeks.

Who Should Try Brow Lamination?

Brow lamination is suitable for anyone looking to:

Enhance the appearance of thin or sparse brows.

Tame unruly or curly brow hairs.

Create a fuller, symmetrical brow shape.

Get a polished, makeup-ready look without daily effort.

The Brow Lamination Process

Brow lamination is a straightforward treatment that typically takes 30–45 minutes to complete. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect:

1. Consultation and Preparation

Your technician will discuss your desired look, assess your natural brow shape, and determine the best approach for your facial features.

The brows are cleaned to remove any makeup, oils, or debris.

2. Lifting Solution

A lifting cream is applied to relax the brow hairs, making them more malleable.

The technician carefully brushes the hairs into the desired shape.

3. Neutralizing Solution

A neutralizer is applied to set the brows in place and lock them into the lifted position.

4. Hydration

A nourishing serum is used to replenish moisture, ensuring the brows remain healthy and shiny.

Optional Steps

Brow tinting can be added to enhance color and define the brows further.

Waxing or threading may be performed to clean up stray hairs and perfect the shape.

Benefits of Brow Lamination

1. Fuller, Fluffier Brows

Creates the illusion of thicker brows, even if your natural hairs are sparse.

2. Long-Lasting Results

Results last 4–8 weeks, depending on your hair type and care routine.

3. Low Maintenance

No need for daily brow gels, pencils, or pomades.

4. Customizable

Brows can be styled to achieve a natural, brushed-up look or a sleek, defined shape.

5. Non-Invasive

Unlike microblading or permanent makeup, brow lamination is painless and reversible.

How to Care for Your Brows After Lamination

Proper aftercare ensures that your laminated brows stay flawless for as long as possible.

First 24 Hours

Avoid getting your brows wet: No showers, steam, or swimming.

Skip makeup and skincare products: Especially those containing oils.

Ongoing Care

Use a nourishing serum

Apply a hydrating serum or brow conditioner to keep the hairs healthy.

Brush Your Brows Daily

Use a spoolie to gently brush your brows into shape each morning.

Avoid Harsh Products

Stay away from exfoliants, retinoids, and oil-based cleansers near your brows.

Schedule Touch-Ups

Re-laminate every 6–8 weeks to maintain the look.

Potential Risks and Precautions

While brow lamination is generally safe, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Allergic Reactions

Always request a patch test before your first treatment to check for allergies.

Skin Sensitivity

Those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema should consult with a professional before proceeding.

Overprocessing

Repeated treatments without proper breaks can weaken brow hairs. Stick to a 6–8 week schedule.

How Much Does Brow Lamination Cost?

The cost of brow lamination varies depending on the salon, technician expertise, and additional services like tinting. On average, prices range from $50 to $150 per session.

Tips for Choosing a Brow Lamination Specialist

Check Credentials

Ensure the technician is trained and certified in brow lamination.

Review Portfolio

Look at before-and-after photos to assess the technician’s skill.

Read Reviews

Online testimonials can provide insight into customer satisfaction.

Ask About Products

Ensure high-quality, hypoallergenic products are used for the procedure.

Conclusion

Brow lamination is a game-changing treatment for anyone looking to enhance their eyebrows effortlessly. With its ability to create fuller, more symmetrical brows in just one session, it’s no wonder this trend has become a go-to solution for beauty enthusiasts worldwide.

If you’re ready to embrace the perfect brow transformation, consult a certified brow technician to experience the benefits of brow lamination firsthand. Whether you want a bold, brushed-up look or a subtle, polished finish, this versatile treatment can help you achieve your dream brows.
