The Make-Up Thread: Because we all like to feel pretty sometimes

dr. nervioso:
So we have a hair thread and a few clothing threads floating around here, so I decided it's time that we have a make up thread. Feel free to post stuff you've done yourself and tutorials of things you want to do or you think are just really cool. Everyone of all genders should feel free to post here. I'm a dude and I'll probably be posting a few things about drag. And nails.

Is it ok to ask for advice?

I've recently discovered that base and top coat aren't foul lies concocted in order to just make me spend more money, but it still all takes so long to dry!  I'll do my nails and find that two hours later they still aren't really dry, no matter how careful I am with them.  So I end up with a manicure that lasts a week without chipping, but is still wrinkly.  Any tips or recommendations for good, affordable polishes or quick-drying top coats?  I always love how glossy my nails look when I finish, but it never lasts.

I also need a new mascara.  The one I've got is so old I'm afraid using it will give me the plague.  I've heard Diorshow is good, but I'd rather not spend that much.

I usually do my nails in stages because they usually have a lot of layers (the ones on the top have 4 coats of polish).  I find thin coats are better than thick ones.  I don't use a base coat, as a result some of my cheaper polishes stain my nails, but I just buff that off after I remove it.  I use Ulta's "high shine" top coat.


Mascara is the one thing that I am a sucker for.  Like any ad campaign for a new mascara and I am like "oooo what! I need it." Usually when a product makes claims like "twice the volume for twice the impact" or whatever shit I roll my eyes, but mascara? I am sold.  My favorite everyday one is Maybelline "lash stiletto".  I also just bought a L'orel "false Fiber" one that I like.

One thing to think about is if you want length or volume.  Mine tend to lengthen more than 'plump'.

OoooOooOoh, mascara, I love mascara. I have like, five different tubes of mascara in black, brown, blue, green, and teal.
