How did I never know you’re a makeup artist??😭 that’s so cool!! I have to ask though, do you have a favorite colorful eye palette? I’m getting into having fun with my makeup and not just doing whatever is “trendy” ig. But I can’t find a good, affordable colorful eye palette 😭😭

yes yes!! I’m a professional makeup artist, working on getting my esthetician license 💪🏻💪🏻

(Putting my recommendations under the cut bc im a yapper and like, this is my favorite thing to talk about ever)

AND FUN MAKEUP MY BELOVED OH MYLANTA OKOKOKOKOK- so here’s the thing. When it comes to affordable, colorful makeup, Colourpop is THE way to go. I love their nine pan palettes and their 36 pan palette. Not to mention the sales they have CONSTANTLY. You can get them in ulta if you don’t want to pay for shipping, and the quality for the price is something you can’t go wrong with.

Another great one is Juvia’s Place, and their pans are so big, they can also be used all over the face!

Glamlite is another super nice one, and their palettes go on sale a lot too! Plus they’re usually themed, which is super fun to display 🥹

THAT SAID!!!

Blendbunny is my favorite brand of colorful makeup. Their palettes are a little more pricey for sure, but the colors are pigmented, they blend like butter, and their “blends” palette has basically every color you’d ever need (also some of their palettes get marked down like. A TON). Shipping for me takes two days, and it’s a brand I constantly get eager to reach for.

IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT ANY OF THEM LMK WHICH ONES YOU LIKE THE BEST BC I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MAKEUP MWAH MWAH

The Middle Eastern Jewel beetle, Steraspis squamosa

This beetle is a member of Buprestidae, the wood boring jewel beetles. It's range includes Egypt, Sudan, Senegal, the Levant, the Maghreb, and Turkey.

This species of beetle bores holes into the tamarisk tree for it's larvae, who emerge as adult beetles. Since some versions of Osiris's death mention that Set imprisoned his body in a tamarisk tree, the beetles were like identified with Osiris. I think the green color probably added to that association as well. They show up as jewelry, and notably as decorations on the bed canopy of Queen Hetepheres, who was the owner of those lovely silver bangles with butterflies that you may have seen. They appear on a few objects from Tutankhamun's tomb as well.

Versions of the beetle sometimes were made of gold and used in jewelry, such as the bottom row of beads on this broadcollar. I'd actually seen this one before, and assumed these beads were lotus buds.

Amulets carved of stone such as calcite, or molded from faience, have also been found, as have mummified jewel beetles. Their elytra (wing casings) have also been found crushed up and used as a pigment.

Also here's here's necklace made by the Karo tribe of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia using the wing casings of Steraspis speciosa. A similar necklace of Steraspis squamosa casings was found in a pre-dynastic tomb in Armant.

Guess which bitch now has room on its phone for instagram for the first time in like 3 years. This is only good bc now we can post art there again.

Not that instagram is nice to artists or anything. Just that our art tumblr is so very tiny and unused. Gonna probably have to clear it out somewhat when I finally get around to posting art.

one thing i still don’t get abt cindy is how she can make clothes. i mean i know. understand. that her webbing is very similar to silk hence the name etc etc etc. and i get how she made her own silk suit previously like when she just got out. but it was clearly webbing. So how is she getting the color for the clothes. like. what’s up with that. like here. How.

Stewart Semple also did not hesitate for even a moment to get immediately into shilling NFTs during the height of that grift. No scruples, just good PR.

You Didn't Tell Him About the Missing Jedi

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 00:19:10

“so,” powder started, holding your chin and tilting it upward to examine your features under the light of her room. she didn’t want to risk any mistakes with the contouring or the symmetry of your eyeshadow.

doing your makeup for parties had become her thing now.

“do you want me to match your hair like I did with mine, or should I choose another color?” please let me match it to your hair, please let me match it to your hair… “since we're going bold tonight.”

navy melted beautifully into ocean blue across her lids, magenta lit up her inner corners, and indigo traced her lower eyelids in a soft, smoky line—softening her piercing blue eyes. berry colored lipstick and a tiny smile completed the look.

a damn sight for sore eyes—that’s what powder was.

“hm, which one would look better?”

yes! that was an answer she liked. let her do the thinking; you just sit there and let her transform your pretty face with her arsenal of pigments. glitter? the palette was already sprawled on the floor, waiting. natural colors? sure, pretty boring, but you do you! neon colors? oh boy, how she loved those.

“i’ll take care of it. just don’t move. if you mess it up we’ll be late.” like last time.

matte lipstick is not easy to clean up after a few ( whole lot of ) kisses. things got a bit out of control, okay? it’s not her fault you looked good!

…well, technically it was her fault because she did your makeup that day, but still. she wanted to kiss you before that.

“oh, come on, it doesn’t tickle,” she pointed out as your eyes fluttered slightly at the touch of the fine eyeliner brush. experienced hands meticulously painted your eyelids, determined to follow their natural shape and bring out the color of your pupils. “look up at me, gotta do the waterline.”

maybe asking you to look directly at her the whole time was a mistake. the closeness was suddenly too distracting—your lips slightly parted as your eyes went up to meet hers, and she carefully applied the pigment.

that shade of lipstick you picked would look real nice mixed with hers…

focus, powder. just do her makeup.

“what’s with the eyes, sunny?” the blue-haired girl spoke after a while, holding your chin still, almost done with the eyeshadow.

“what do you mean?”

“those doe-y ones you’re giving me right now.”

your scoff only made it harder for her to focus on the task ahead. “pow, looking up because you asked me to doesn’t mean I’m giving you doe eyes. It’s your own thing if you get distracted that easily.”

“distracted? pft, no way. I’m completely focused here,” she argued with an unbothered shrug and roll of her eyes, as if she didn’t care. She dipped her brush back into the shimmering shade, determined to keep her hands steady despite the warmth crawling up her neck.

instead of poking fun at her, you stayed still as her delicate hands worked, her features drawn into a look of concentration that was almost as mesmerizing as the makeup itself. eyebrows slightly furrowed as she focused on making the look even.

“‘kay, done with the eyes,” she announced after a moment, pulling back slightly to admire her handiwork. the colors on your lids blended seamlessly into one another, like a miniature galaxy. “and now for the lips…”

powder reached for the lipstick you had picked earlier but hesitated with a thoughtful sigh, her eyes darting between the tube and your mouth.

“you sure you don’t want me to choose a different color? this one’s nice and all, but…” her voice trailed off.

“but what?”

her manicured nails tapped against the lipstick cap while comparing it to the lipstick she had used on herself. “I mean… this shade’s good, but mine would… y’know, match better. just saying.”

definitely not an excuse to kiss you.
