Really cool make-up trick I just learned :-)

Well, er, let's just say that it's taken me several months become good enough at liquid liner that it's actually worth my while to apply it. :-D

I'm more of a stealth goth these days. I'm trying to build myself a career in corporate America, and they frown on heavy black eyeliner. And on black lipstick.

 

Hey now, that means we are experts!

And you are so right about the remover pen. LOL

 

Several hours after trying out the baking soda exfoliant, my face is not in any way upset at me. It did sting a bit when I applied it, and I didn't leave it on for as long as I perhaps could have, but I prefer to err on the side of caution with chemical exfoliants. I can feel on my face that it had an exfoliating effect, and I am very happy to report that I have yet to detect any itchiness or reddish blotches from it.

I will try this again in the near future. I have been looking for a mild exfoliant... anything that actually scrubs is too harsh for me.

 

Sounds great so far Mimsy. I don't leave the mixture sitting on my face though because I wash it off immediately.

 

Assuming you're asking about appearances, no, not quite. Black dominates the color scale, at least as far as eye makeup and clothes go, but there's red, purple, white, green, pink, and other colors as well... really, I don't think there is a specific dress code.

There's a lot more to goth than appearance, of course.

 

Pretty much, yes. A mixed groups of nonconformists that have certain things in common that separates them from other similar groups, of course, since lacking those certain things would mean that goth wouldn't actually be a community/subgroup of its own. Such as black, and a fondness for what is considered weird by the rest of society. Overall, "non-conformist" is a good word to describe it.

 

I was going to make a new thread but then I thought, why not keep all the shallow self-centeredness in one single place? :-D So here you go, fellow makeup fans: How to get the very most out of your lipgloss!

Bummer, did this just start or is it an ongoing problem? Hope it clears up for you, an allergy?
