I'm getting into more complex lipstick techniques lately. I used some of that non-transfer liquid lipstick with some lip gloss and it came out so stunningly, lasted the entire day eating / drinking. Usually there will be some harsh fading on the inner bottom lip, but with the gloss on it blended out and looked less noticeable.

In general I've gotten a lot better at technique lately, learning a lot from drag artists and GRWM videos.

I've learned how to not get that creasing / transfering eyeliner / eyeshadow thing by using more powder in general and misting water to set it.

also not related to makeup, but I bleached my eyebrows and it's lasted soooo long, and I love it because I don't really have to do anything but shape them up. It also looks cool with makeup on 😁

What are some makeup techniques or fashion changes (like bleached eyebrows) you have done recently?

    i'm glad to hear that! ☺️ I haven't done a lot of lip stuff until recently, the gloss is a new addition.

    In the past I used sugar and olive oil to scrub my lips with a cloth, it worked pretty well! Back then, I remember it was also popular to use a toothbrush to exfoliate the lips. These days I scrub with soap on a damp washcloth, & use aquaphor to prevent cracking.
