Dude I have so much makeup...
I bet it cost u a grip too. I don't even wanna get started because I know I would get lost/be confused and probably end up spending so much money. I know it will become a habit. LMAO I prefer to spend my money on food and clothes. But I get so tempted. I went to sephora last year and also got a free gift from a friend who is a makeup artist. She sent me a few things (my skin tone foundation, some gloss, liners, primer).

But yeah, it's crazy. I only wear lipstick. I've worn some faux lashes in the past. But I wanna see what I look like with my face contoured. But I still want it to be natural looking. Folks can say whatever they want but makeup takes skill and it's creative.

I love creative makeup. Especially when it's on brown skin and still manages to look semi natural but not all cakey.

I don't mind lipstick but all of that extra shyt is unnecessary to me. It just reminds me in my last relationship where she felt like she was "ugly" and that she was thinking about putting makeup on to make herself beautiful. I had to sit there and remind her that she was fine as is and that I loved her already how she was and she didn't need to do it.Thankfully she listened to me. But, I do agree with you that it is a skill. She could probably be a Make-up artist :ehh:
The thing is I know I would be extremely good and keen with detail if I did my makeup/learned because I'm an artist. I love sketching and I pay attention to detail. I also have art work specifically of shading/ink dotting using different pens. I would probably be so damn fine with makeup on it would get me in trouble. :picard: :wow:

It just seems like you need a million products to set your face/do your face. I watch the tutorials and they literally use like 20 different products before the end result and I just be like "fukk all that"

all i am gonna say about makeup is i wish wish wish women would start investing in a dermatologist. a lot of stuff i see that people are covering up is fixable with time and if you have health insurance, it will be covered. i know because i have/had acne for years. i also have keloids. to me it makes sense to fix the underlying issue than cover it up with make up.

That's understandable, I respect that and the fact that you're Team Natural :ehh:
For the most part.
Just because I don't know shyt about makeup.
I wear green contacts a lot.
Sometimes wear shorter hair length/ wigs because I dont wanna chop my real hair or dye it.
My real hair is jet-black and long.

Lol you rock those colored contacts? I can't rock contacts at all. My eyes aren't about that life and I rather wear glasses anyway.
I love long natural hair on a lady. I don't even know what but I just do :noah: It took me awhile to accept short hair on girls but I appreciate them too lol
