Actual Thoughts I've Had, Verbatim...

Who knew being interwebz friends with a fashion guru would come in handy?

Thank you so much, MO!

[Mister Obvious]

You're welcome, Dev, so much fun!!!

So is beige as close to white as you can get in the pan stick aisle? I searched for white pan stick, and Amazon offered me a shitload of beige.

[user328]

Well, there's this...

Or this...

I guess that last one with white powder would work.

You don't need no Mehron body paint. That's for stage performers who are far away from the audience under 50 spotlights.

Get two of these, because if you're using one for your lips/brows you don't wanna dip into the one you're gonna be using on your eyes...

Get one of their white.

You also should get eyeshadow primer which will go on your eyelids before the eyeshadow...

Cost effective:

You could also use it on your lips before applying color but...

TBH, a light layer of Vaseline or something will do fine not only for lip prep but also to act as the lip gloss, plus it's a semi-useful multi-use thing you can use later cuz I don't expect you're gonna keep wearing makeup on a regular basis LMAO.

And BTW I'd never recommend those eyeshadows for someone who really was gonna wear makeup on the daily, this is solely for costume purposes.

[Mister Obvious]

Got that first primer link wrong, my bad, I fixed it.

[Mister Obvious]

Bitch I am invested in this.

[Mister Obvious]

Don't forget to exfoliate your lips with a rough washcloth (or toothbrush) and some Vaseline before you apply your lip makeup.

[Mister Obvious]

Any matte black eyeshadow is gonna require dampening your brush before you pack it on... even more important with a cheap shadow.

Whenever you're searching for eyeshadow, you wanna use "matte black eyeshadow" or "shimmer black eyeshadow" in your terms.

[Mister Obvious]

Dampen a throwaway washcloth and pat the brush on it to dampen your brush before applying your shadow colors.

[Mister Obvious]

Don't wear face makeup... it's gonna look like shit. No foundations, no facepaints.

When you get done applying all your eyeshadow, take a papertowel with lotion blotted on it and clean all the fallout from underneath your eyes or it's gonna look like shit.

[Mister Obvious]

Definitely don't go outside in this getup though, if you're new in the neighborhood your neighbors will think you're some kinda freak and they'll prolly post about you on Nextdoor, lmfaooo.

Dude, I'm not spending $40 on a little tube of styling gel for my eyebrows. Will this one work?

Do I need a regular eyeliner pencil?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MWSXPT1/

Is there anything else I need?

[user328]

I guarantee you my eyebrow hairs are all gonna be different heights if I brush them straight up like you said in the other thread.

[user328]

Dude, I'm not spending $40 on a little tube of styling gel for my eyebrows.

Hmmm. One seller had it for $40. Another one had it for a much more reasonable $8. So never mind that part.

[Mister Obvious]

Yeah that's why I put in the aloe vera gel (that specific brand) as an alternative.

I've never used it, but it says it's clear/invisible so it should be good.

Not really.

The angled brush with the black eyeshadow can be used for eyeliner and is much better than any pencil.

Apply below the lower lash line (super thin and tight) and apply to the waterline.
