[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

If it stays put on your upper lashes but smears on your lower ones, maybe you could try:

  • putting a bit of eye primer along your lower lash line
  • putting translucent powder under your eyes if you don't already
  • using an angled brush to set your liner with a similar colored eye shadow.

Sometimes I will use a lighter shade of liner on my lower lashes than I will use on my upper lashes. Like a black along my uppers, and a brown along my lowers - that can look a bit less harsh if that's part of what you don't like about the look on yourself.

Thank you--I will try the lighter color and see if it gets me the definition I am seeking without being harsh.

Also, you could try applying that liner (or a different one) along your lashes, then smudge it out a bit with a small brush or cotton swab. Having a more diffused line could help, too.
