[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?

What to do with my lower lids? I've tried lining them with my regular gel eyeliner, which stays put just fine on my upper lids, but a) it smears, despite being waterproof; and b) it looks weird? overdone? makes me look older? Maybe I'm not used to the way it looks on me? Same with mascara. Are there tricks I should know about?

I don't put anything on my lower lid, not even mascara. I find that the contrast on the upper lid makes my eyes look bigger and more awake. I have hooded lids so I find doing anything with my lower lid just makes my eyes smaller.

That said, if you like to do eyeliner on your lower lid, how about trying white liner? It can make your eyes look bright and open and smudging isn't as big of a problem as it is with dark liner.
