...remember when I use to go out all the time...

(Remember when there were places to go out to)

....and would force unrequested makeup selfies on all of tumblr?

Well. It’s happening again. Except over on Instagram now. We’re just getting started. Please come follow if you like my unrequested makeup selfies and to see my hoard of band shirts I will be using as inspiration. (Hint: there’s gonna be ALOT of ghost)

Also this is to force me to be creative with makeup. Things aren’t great here tbh. And I think having a creative outlet and forcing myself to look at myself and make myself presentable (in another form than scrubs and some eyeliner) will be helpful to my entire being. Also my makeup skills have been slipping since I haven’t been doing makeup in over a year.

So come join me!

Mun's gotta head to a funeral for a coworker soon, so that being said. Here's some unrequested selfies because I felt cuter in this outfit and makeup than I expected despite the occasion.

We haven’t had an unrequested makeup selfie in a while. So here we go!! I’m kinda floundering trying to find a new foundation.....urban decay discontinued my go to. So today we are using Clinique....I got a coupon for a free bottle.🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not mad at it...I put it on at like noon....and it’s almost 1am. Still using my $4.99 catrice concealer, also contour by them as well. Then kabrow from Benefit. Then did my eyeshadow with my new morphe palette....it’s called “icy fantasy”....I’m kinda here for it. It vaguely reminds me of that pastel goth palette kvd did, but I never got. (Also so glad kvd is not kat von d any more)....I did however buy the alchemy highlighter from kvd and that’s what I have on my face. Lipstick is also from like noon today....didn’t touch up once. L’Oréal chocolate whatever in bittersweet. One of my favorite shades. Mascara is crap cover girl? Don’t buy it. Get rollerlash.

....because it’s been a while since unrequested make up time with heather....and also because I have zero self control.....and also because kat von d is a garbage human.....but she still seems to be able to get to my wallet....

I loved this look. It went so well with my Frankenstein ghost shirt. It’s all soooo my maleficent aesthetic.🥰

I even used kvd foundation as I left my normal urban decay bottle in fucking MORGAN HILL CALIFORNIA.😭😭😭

The eyeshadow is from the kvd fetish palette. I wasn’t going to buy it....but when they cut the insane $63 price tag in half I picked it up because I have no self control. I thought it would be complete garbage like the serpentina palette....but first use was shockingly ok. It swatches absolutely horriblely. Like swatches I did in store made me cringe. The only shade that is not from that palette is the blue shade under my eyes....that’s from the whatever YouTube personXurban decay palette....And the highlight is the kvd alchemy palette. Lipstick is kvd shade zero....with my perpetually uneven lips. My $4 catrice concealer that I swear by. Ulta generic brand eyebrow powder and gel eyeliner that I also swear by. Roller lash mascara.....is there a better mascara out there? I’ll believe it when I see it. Anyway. I still obsess over and hoard make up in real life, even if I don’t post about it much. I still do not like Kat Von d.....but she keeps making shit that appeals to me despite what I think about her.🙄 and I do not recommend her foundation. Like 4.5/10. But it’s the only pale enough shade I have right now while I wait for my ud bottle to be shipped back to me.....I have a nice Mac foundation that I would like to use.....but NW20 is too dark for me and it looks really funny when my chest is one color and my face is another.😒

Unrequested makeup selfie!! But with a purpose. I’m trying to figure out how to do my make up for the meet and greet bullshit I bought again. This is what I came up with. There’s some very serious flaws with this look. Including the fact that I would not use the foundation I used. Idk how I feel about the lip colour. Also I would actually put lashes on. Also my eyes wouldn’t be so chunky. I tried to use a glitter? From wet n wild.....2/10 do not recommend. So then I tried to cover that with moondust. And it’s just kinda a hot mess up close. Then I put different shadow over that. Idk how I feel about the middle of the eye highlight or if I should just leave the whole thing a matte black? The eyeliner will be smoother too....becuase of all the petroleum? Is that’s what goopy in wetnwild glitters? God whyyyy?? I thought it was just pressed glitter. It is not. I wish I could have red hair for one night. But that’s not happening I live for my blue hairs. But we all know I bend my aesthetic for these stupid photos.🙄 any tips suggestions or opinions are very welcome.

Unrequested makeup selfie time.

So. Real tea. As a Seattle resident....I was applying the shades from my brand new kvd x divine palette for this eye look....and realized that everywhere else in the world this is the kvd x divine palette.....but here. In this town. It might as well be the kvd x 12th man palette. More than one person has asked if my hair is blue for the Seahawks.....so i would not leave the house with this look during football season......I literally will never apply these shades together like this again. So I’m quite bummed about that.....cause they’re actually great colors.

The formula seems pretty good. They wore all night....With ud primer and all-nighter of course.

First impression is that it’s good. Will use again. At least it’s not the garbage that the serpentina palette was. It’s not the catastrophic masterpiece that the saint/sinner palette is. So like 8/10.....do recommend....for $23 though....not whatever the original price was.

Unrequested make up selfie!! Dude....idk how my face isn’t smeared to shit after that show. My hair....got bigger...and is a bit of a birdsnest type style now. lol. But this was like 7 hour with no touch up. A++ will wear again with urban decay. Per usual. Used UD primer, naked foundation, shadow, pigments, and setting spray. Did use a colorpop shadow as the dark base for my eyes. A tiny tiny bit of dermacol concealer under my eyes and then Katvond highlighter and we don’t talk about my ghetto contour(I’m just going to say if it works.....use it?.....even if that’s not what it’s labeled for).....and used some ulta 3pak lashes....can’t remember the brand? Do people really use lashes more than once? I mean I can maybe see if you buy the expensive ones.....but the whole concept grosses me out. And I’ve never use one twice.....hence 3 pack. Lolz. The only thing that super needs touch up is the lipstick.....but after doing a totally face plant into another person and getting crushed by crowd surfers....I can be a little forgiving....buuuut I gotta say smashbox lippies are still way better than katvond.....which is what I’m wearing in this pic. My lips are driiied out. And the color is super patchy. But it looked fine 3 hours ago. I mean what can you expect? Oh also sparingly used the benefit kabrow. (? Is that what it’s called? Too tired to go look) That’s a new thing for me....usually I just do my brows with matching eyeshadow......I kinda have some questionable make up tendencies??.........but the kabrow was half off. So here we are trying it out.....a tiny tiny bit at a time. So go make up!! You make me happy when I get smeared by gross sweaty people and you don’t budge!!😍💙

Goddamnit. I post a goddamn unrequested makeup selfie and fucking tumblr doesn’t even post it. Where do these posts go? I’m not writing it all out again. So main points: Kvd lock it foundation is fucking horrible. But her liquid lip in dagger will survive eating dim sum. Too faced chocolate gold is fucking fantastic palette. This entire eye look is from only that palette. Abh moon child pallet is my current go to for pinky/purple highlight.(or all highlight....lol) Catrice concealer is fucking great for $4....smells horrid though. Currently loving the L’Oréal infallible setting powder more than my ud velvet shit??? Too much makeup....not enough time to play with it all. There you have it.....for unrequested makeup time with heather.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done an unrequested makeup selfie!!!!

Also I forgot to selfie.....so this is the aftermath. I did photos for a party tonight. NOT my thing. I am so akward and antisocial.....and my last.......indiscretion?.......Was there and it felt weird. I felt bad. I kinda think he thinks I ended it??.....for lack of feelings? When really I just stoped talking to him because I was obviously not his first choice and fuck you if you think I’m going to settle as second. 💁🏻‍♀️ anyway. We are taking about make up here......As always- do recommend urban decay all-nighter...that shit keeps you looking good even when things are awkward.....also catrice concealer. For some reason it works really well on me. For like $5. Also been using coty air spun powder.....it smells horrid....but it actually seems to work pretty well!!! Eye shadow is also a bunch of urban decay products. I want their new elements pallet so bad!!!! Put a butter London eye glaze Over the moon dust for the super shiny look. And used some shades from the urban decay transformer? Pallet.....which is the one urban decay product I 100% do not recommend. 0/10.....the shadows are fucking horrible. It’s like the serpentina pallet from kvd. Fucking horrible. Eyebrows by benefit. Lips kvd. Highlight is from moonchild pallet by abh.

Unrequested make up selfie!! I was feeling lavender today. My lips are forever unsymmetrical.....no matter how much I try to correct. Maybe it adds to my resting bitch face. Big shout out to bh cosmetics for almost the entire eye look.....Im usually impressed by their cheap makeup. I did dip into the chocolate gold for a black and silver though. I tried a thing and used two shades of foundation....I don’t think it made a difference. Also, god I hope it’s the lighting that’s making a weird contrast between my face and my chest skin color....I’m already using the coolest and almost fairest shades I can find. No bronzer.....do they make a grey bronzer/contour? They’re almost all way too warm for me. I should look into that. Anyway. So many photos to edit. Must work on that now.
