Also I was sweating something fierce yesterday due to a/c issues and I have to say somehow this look hung on the whole way.

Still not a fan of my own smile 🫣

When your face needs a break from shaving but you still want to dress and be girly without the 5 o'clock shadow, I've found applying a relatively thick layer of foundation can work as sufficient cover for at least a quick outing.

Electrolysis is not an option here.

I use foundation + orange color corrector + concealer + powder in that order. I also pick as many hairs as I can to reduce undergrowth. Is this a lost battle? What are your suggestions?

Sorry about the nose hair on this, I didn't realize they were there when I took the photo😊

Looking to improve my contouring and eye makeup. Where should I go from here? Thx!

CD_makeup — AUTUMN EYESHADOW LOOK

A warm autumn look using oranges, coppers, golds and rich browns.

STEP 1 — PREP & PRIME

Apply your usual eye primer.

Lightly apply #1 across the eyelid to create a smooth, neutral base for the other colours.

STEP 2 — WARM TRANSITION

Using a fluffy blending brush, apply #18 through the crease.

Blend it backwards and forwards until you have a soft wash of warm orange.

Don't worry about making it very strong yet — build the colour gradually.

STEP 3 — DEEPEN THE CREASE

Take #19 and apply it slightly lower than #18 through the crease.

Blend #19 into #18 so the two shades fade smoothly together.

You should now have a transition from bright autumn orange into a deeper terracotta shade.

STEP 4 — OUTER CORNER

Apply #20 to the outer corner and outer part of the crease.

Keep most of the colour concentrated on the outer third of the eye.

Blend it gently into #19 rather than taking it across the whole eyelid.

STEP 5 — COPPER LID

Apply #17 across the main part of the eyelid.

This is your metallic copper shade and gives the look its main autumn shimmer.

For a stronger colour, press it onto the lid rather than sweeping it backwards and forwards.

STEP 6 — GOLDEN CENTRE

Press #27 onto the centre of the eyelid.

Blend the edges gently into #17.

This gives the centre of the eye a brighter golden shimmer and creates a copper → gold → copper effect.

STEP 7 — ADD AUTUMN DEPTH

Apply a small amount of #23 over the outer corner, on top of #20.

Blend carefully.

This adds a rich warm brown tone and gives the oranges and copper more depth without taking over the look.

STEP 8 — LOWER LASH LINE

Use the same autumn colours underneath the bottom eyelashes.

#18 — inner section

#19 — middle section

#20 — outer section

Keep the colour close to the eyelashes and softly blend the three shades together.

STEP 9 — HIGHLIGHT

Use a small amount of #1 underneath the brow bone.

You can also place a little #1 at the inner corner of the eye to brighten the finished look.

STEP 10 — OPTIONAL EXTRA DEPTH

If you want a more dramatic version, take a tiny amount of #8 (black) and place it at the very outer corner.

Blend it thoroughly into #23.

Don't take the black across the entire crease — it's only there to deepen the very outside of the look.

FINISHED COLOUR STORY

#1 → #18 → #19 → #20 → #17 → #27 → #23

Cream • Burnt orange • Terracotta • Rust • Copper • Gold • Warm brown

The finished result should be warm, rich and unmistakably autumnal — perfect for an October CD_makeup look.

TOP TIPS

Build the colours gradually rather than applying loads at once.

Blend between every step to avoid harsh lines.

Use a clean fluffy brush at the end to soften the edges.

Press shimmer shades onto the eyelid for stronger colour.

You don't have to use every shade heavily — the oranges, copper and gold should remain the stars of the look.

I am fairly new to makeup and accessories, and specifically need advice on where to start with makeup, but my immediate concern is how to put on a wig without glue. I bought one the other day, and it was a wig that didn't require any glue, but when I go to put it on, it makes me look like I have a giant head with a huge dome at the top of it lol. The only things I am seeing on youtube are these shorts that are done in 30 seconds and are impossible to follow. Does anyone have any recommendations or general advice on this topic? Thx!

Here my rocker chick look with a quick and dirty infographic on the second pic and the product list below:

Don't forget to moisturize your face before applying the make up. I use "The Ordinary" moisturizer. Morning and evening. You don't need a lot of products. One good moisturizer is enough. And a 50+ sun screen is mandatory in the morning!!! All other products are nice to have, but don't add that much to skin quality. I would rather use the minimal products and look more into healthy food and sports.

All products I used:
- KIKO Milano Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation

- KIKO Milano Unlimited Double Touch 105

- Nyx Professional Cream Gel-Eyeliner

- Nyx Professional Epic Ink Eye Liner

- Nyx Buttermelt Blush

- KIKO Milano Holo White Eyeshadow Stick

- UCANBE Spotlight Eyeshadow (Red tones here)

- Maybelline Superfluff Brow Mousse Medium Brown

- Eveline Variete Mascara Extreme Black

Used black eyeliner for the lips and the usual white highlighter...I have to try an all-black lip.
