fucking christ I am sobbing
“If the men find out we can shapeshift, they’re going to tell the church!“
i didnt learn anything about contouring but that’s okay
“You want to look like a pterodactyl. Men LOVE pterodactyls. [SCREECH]”
“Makeup is for women who want husbands, contouring is for women who want to leech the souls of their dead lovers.”
Beautiful.

Hair and makeup: reality vs expectations
Hi so I have a hand tremor and it can be really hard for me to do little and exact tasks like putting on makeup. The only problem with that is I love makeup. Do you have any tips for my problem? Or maybe is there a YouTuber out there somewhere who deals with this kind of thing? I wish I could do makeup but it's so hard for me to do when my hand is shaking so hard I can barely do ANYTHING that involves using my hands :(
Thanks for the great question! We’ve had something like this before, but that was quite a while ago and it’d be great to do another round of advice with our new followers.
Here’s the original post, one answer, and a second one mixed in with some advice for blind-in-one-eye makeup. You might also like our Makeup tag!
The same one I use as an artist who has trouble (translation: is hopelessly incapable of) drawing straight lines. Tiny strokes that connect into a single smooth line are your best friend there. Get a little bit of line down before your hand has time to tremble, pull back, another quick stroke, then another, then another. It doesn’t work as well with liquid eyeliner, but for pencils, lipsticks, and eyeshadows, small dabs and small strokes that connect are your best friend. And try not to tense your hand, it can make the shaking worse, stay as relaxed as possible.

A Harvard Woman Figured Out How To 3D Print Makeup From Any Home Computer, And The Demo Is Mindblowing
Grace Choi was at Harvard Business School when she decided to disrupt the beauty industry. She did a little research and realized that beauty brands create and then majorly mark up their products by mixing lots of colors.
[…]
Choi created her own mini home 3D printer, Mink, that will retail for $300 and allow anyone to print makeup by ripping the color code off color photos on the internet. It hooks up to a computer, just like a normal printer. [x]
this is it folks. the future is here, and apparently it is going to look goddamn beautiful.
BLESS THIS FUCKING WOMAN THO.
PSA: The Ultimate Unproblematic (AFFORDABLE) Cosmetic Company
HEY KIDS. So, I’m a makeup artist, but I’m also a feminist and a vegetarian and an animal lover, so sometimes it’s hard to find beauty products that don’t make me cry inside. Well GUESS THE FUCK WHAT. There’s an incredible cosmetic company called Colourpop that is just like, the most beautiful shit in the world.
They sell the most AMAZING creamy mousse (WATERPROOF!!) eyeshadows that will set as a super beautiful glittery sparkly magical shadow, but will also blend out like a regular powder shadow. (They have matte shades too but their glittery and metallic shades are THE SHIT) They also have INCREDIBLE lipsticks, lipliners, highlighters, bronzers, blushes, and liquid lipsticks. They’re all cruelty-free, made in the USA, and most of them are vegan. (There’s a list of the non-vegan products in their FAQ.) And wait for this, because it’s almost too good to be true:
NOTHING THEY SELL COSTS MORE THAN 10 DOLLARS.
TEN. DOLLARS.
Their lipsticks, lipliners, and eyeshadows are all only 5 DOLLARS EACH. It’s honestly the most radical shit. And then to top all of this unbelievable beauty off, they show all their swatches and ads with REAL WOMEN OF COLOR, so you can see what their products will look like on people who aren’t just pale white women.
I honestly can’t recommend this brand enough. They’re so incredible and when I got my package, I even got a little handwritten note. Everything is reeeeally high quality. Their products are all as good as the $60 shit you find at sephora, only it’s cheap, cruelty-free, and made in the USA. What more could you want, honestly?
