If eyeliner as pencils freaks you out, don't even try liquid eyeliner.

I use pencils all the time but I look like Alice Cooper if I use liquid stuff.

I dont trust hairdressers with anything not head hair - ie eyebrow waxes, eyelash tints ect. thats just me, but you dont know if theyre qualified ect.
Go beautitian, i think where im going is like... $15? If you want to risk it (but its alright ive done it before) go to a tafe or beauty training place, and theyll do it cheap as, and they wont do it un supervised so its ok.
Eyeshadow is good as eyeliner, ive started using that so much now compared to eyeliner.
I suck at lipstick, but i love wearing my red. You dont need it sian! Its crap!
Mascara... hm. I blink my eye lash onto it and through. It makes them all swooshy and thick.

But isn't eyeshadow for funky colours and eyeliner to make all around your eye black? Lol @ me...

Yeah. Thats pretty much true.
But black or grey eyeshadow is good to use as eyeliner.

You can use cool colours as eyeliner though!!!

Oh yeah, I used bright blue once and that was awesome. I just wet a lip brush (not one I use, obviously) and dipped it into the eyeshadow then drew it on.

Which makes my lack of liquid eyeliner skills a bit odd?

I have a shimmery pink eyeshadow. It's very pale when used normally, but I get a cotton tip, dampen it under the tap and then apply the eyshadow as eyeliner on my top eyelid with it. It looks pretty cool, as it just looks like shimmery pale pink eyeliner, but is more obvious than as plain eyeshadow.

How can you use eyeshadow as eyeliner? Isn't eyeshadow a powder? And what is a lip brush?

A lip brush is like a teeny tiny paintbrush you can use with lipstick to paint it on rather than use it straight out of the tube. Or if you have lip colours on a palette or something.

So basically you wet the tiny paintbrush, and when you put the wet brush onto the powder it sticks together and goes on as eyeliner. Its magic and I can't describe it.

Na, its pretty much magic.

OH! like the aboriginals used dirt and certain types of dirt and rocks, really crushed up, and wet made their paints?

Just like that. But with eyeshadow!

I used to never be able to put on eyeliner. Then all of a sudden I could do it.

And my fave eyeshadow i sometimes use as eyeliner, and its bright blue

Someone tell me how it is possible to use powder for something you usually need a pencil for!

You don't, you could use liquid eyeliner as well.
The water makes it paste-like, and such it can be brushed on like a pretty pretty line of paint.

farking hell. I am so confused. I think I should give up, not even Teggles can save me.

Do you have a paintbrush and eyeshadow?

uuuuum I might have a paint brush. Like an actual paintbrush. Mum might have eyeshadow.

Wet the brush, smoosh it in the eyeshadow and have a bit of a draw on your cheek if you need to!!
And then you move to the eyes. its nto that hard after practice.

lol, you use an actual PAINT brush?

No but im guesssing you can?

Not if it's too thick, you can't!

HAHA
(Imagines someone painting on eyeliner with a house paint brush, you know the great big motherfucking huge ones?)

hahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha!

Bahaha best mental picture ever!

Yeah I had to leave before I could finish my point But yes, practise with that and you can see how the whole
water + eyeshadow= eyeliner!
equation works.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

I have a strapless ball dress and a pretty damn shocking bikini tan. Use fake tan? Exfoliate it? Go out in the sun more? What do I do?!

Possibly fake tan but only a few days in advanced just in case.
Dont fake tan without exfoliating.

AND if you dont want to go orangey use a bronzer and a moisturisor, mix well and smoosh on.
