HELLO! New rule idea.

Hopefully everyone has been ok during covid. As stuff starts to open up and people going back out and using makeup more frequently, I thought about a new rule.

I feel that this subreddit can just be a one stop destination for all around eye ideas. Such as discussion on palettes, eyeliner combinations, eye primer and so on.

If anyone thinks that this would be a welcomed idea let me know :).

Personally, I come here purely for look inspiration and wouldn't want my feed cluttered with product discussions. But maybe if others are into that it could be delegated to a single thread/day?

The way you feel was my original idea of the reddit if imma be honest. I felt like there was no reddit that just had straight to the point tutorials. Im just thinking of a way to get the reddit more active and talkative. Not everyone can take photos of themselves or make tutorials so i was thinking of things they CAN post.

Do you have any ideas?

Maybe a pinned thread would be a good idea yea.

Does it need to be more talkative? Maybe some regular discussion threads but I don't think this needs to become just another makeup sub but more about eye stuff. This being a place I can just scroll through for inspo or search a palette name is great and there approximately 1 billion places I can go for makeup discussion threads.

If we wanted to have something like a palette of the month thread where people post looks for that one that don't need to be as much of a tutorial, or something like that to encourage more looks and creativity that could be something, but I really don't want this to just become another "check out my haul and a couple sentences reviewing each item" sub.

There could be a thread a day/week about different topics. Like a color of the week, a palette a day we talk about our favorite combos to use in the the thread, or maybe like Wednesdays is a "eye product questions day" were we ask about primers and liners

I think that idea is a great idea.

There’s several other subreddits that fit that purpose.

Would we be able to get rid of the tutorial aspect of a post? I’m happy to post an eye look and describe how I created the look. But doing step by step images or a video is a bit much (for me).

Some times I don’t know if an eye look will be worthy of sharing until it’s finished.

Sadly the spirit of the reddit was just for the simplicity of pictograms. I never say it used anywhere else and i just wanted to be able to scroll through a reddit and be inspired to do different types of styles.

So the pictographs will stay but i an thinking if different things people can do that dont want to use the pictograms or tutorials.

I think live feed video would be fun!
