Yeah, I know a good shop, but they're pricey and I don't actually wear the boots that much. I've seen stuff online about stretching them at home with a hairdryer, but I'm scared of ruining the leather for when I do wear them. Just wondering if anyone's had any success

i'm super duper loving lazy when it comes to make-up, so i really like maybelline superstay, the kind with the colour on one end and balm on the other. i put it on in the morning and i maybe have to touch up the colour 6 hours later, it's awesome. you just put some of the balm on top if your lips feel a bit dry

K you cheapos. Revlon Grow Luscious mascara is excellent. Almay's clear complexion line is probably the best foundation you'll get through a drugstore for under $20. And eyeslipsface.com has tons of anything else. I love their brow fillerlifter pencil, the baked eye shadows, and the makeup remover wipes.

Crow Jane posted:Do you hold the hairdryer directly against the boot, or a few inches away? And for how long? to shape the leather for the foot part of the boots, i keep the dryer about two inches away, maybe a bit closer. at first i just kind of go all over the foot bit to warm everything up, then i stand up in the shoe and start concentrating on the problem areas, going up on the balls of my feet and heating the toes for about a minute, that kind of thing. leather wants to crease in certain areas and feet want to breathe in certain areas, so if you have trouble with shoes on your pinky toe or big toe knuckles, you want to heat that for a couple of minutes while you pretend to walk in place so that the leather remembers how to be. if you routinely get massacred on your upper back heels like i do, heat for a minute then wriggle for ten seconds, for like five or ten minutes, continuously. but before you do that, buy some cheap inserts because sometimes the heel massacre can be lessened if your heel is elevated within the shoe a little bit. i always need to put inserts in docs, for example. with the inserts in, walk around the block and you'll know where the shoe hurts, and then target those areas with the hairdryer. after you have spent a bit of time heating the leather, wander around your house or flat a bit and basically just keep them on until the leather feels cool, and they should fit your feet really nicely after that for shaping the leather over the calves, you really have to measure the circumference of your calf, and the circumference of the boot at the point where it's too tight. if the difference is more than 3cm, i would either not buy the boots or plan on taking them to a cobbler. i have pretty butch soccer player legs so ymmv if you have thinner calves and boots don't fit, i think the difference should then be like 2cm before you go to a cobbler. once leather has split, it's split. anyway, it's basically similar to the foot thing but instead of socks you get a dishtowel and wrap your calf in it. if you can wrap the dishtowel around your calf twice and still do the boot up, so much the better. make sure you have fabric coming up above the boot when you hairdry the boot, otherwise you'll burn your skin. blow dry until you can feel the heat on your skin, going around and around your leg, and then walk around in the shoe for about ten minutes until it cools then do the same to the other boot basically, what you're doing is heating the leather to soften it, then moving around so that it hardens into the right shape Fruity Gordo fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Nov 16, 2013 |

i am a shameful bitch when it comes to makeup. every few months i buy a tube of concealer which matches my skin tone and i just dab that on all over my face after i cleanse, tone and moisturise every morning to even out my skin tone. if i go to the bathroom and think i need a touch up i dab on a bit more. i'm also loving lazy enough that every month i go and get my eyelashes tinted for ten bux, so i only need to wear mascara when i want to look ultra fabulous tint yo eyelashes girl. it is cheap as gently caress and so great for when you have a job that makes you cry sometimes (social caseworker wooo)

I just usually do BB Cream, powder, a bit of black eyeliner, mascara and a reddish lipstick or gloss. Not the most exciting, but I get a ton of compliments and it takes like five minutes to apply. I lust after pretty eyeshadow colors, but they always seem to look really clownish on me

my best friend performs in drag shows every second weekend or so and i am not allowed to touch his make up, only his hair and clothes. everyone's an arsehole and always says i should wear more makeup but the slags never say what kind. i figure they'd tell me if i looked horrendous or just wouldnt hang out with me if i did, but a host of twinks pushing you away from the make up table is a rude thing for a femme. loving queers

when I was first learning how do to makeup, toner was like  cool for me. makes my skin all dewey and nice without being oily. if i'm not wearing makeup i still use toner everyday especially after washing my face.makeup days is toner, moisturizer, concealer (i have gnarly dark circles and redness around nose), powder (tho I do want to get a good BB cream), light blush, eyebrows filled, then eyes depend on the occasion. if it's daytime i just do eyeliner and mascara or a sweep of neutral shadow. night time i get more heavy on eyeshadow tho i still dont like crazy colors cuz lets be honest only drag queens and runway models can pull it off. craziest color i use is blue, other than that it's lotsa browns and shades of violet and a copperish color i use sparingly.
