I hate trying to learn how to do makeup because like.. My Hands. They Don't Do That.

What do you mean simple and easy eyeliner tutorial. Do that with shakey hands and no concept over how far your hand is from your face. That's how I'm doing it. It doesn't feel easy or simple right now.

I have no hand eye coordination. It just doesn't happen. In fact, it gets worse the closer my hand is to my face.

Next, a deep eye look. A fresh pale peach at the eye rim. A edgy mint blue at the corner of the eyes. The look is finished with a mysterious ivy green in the line and as mascara. Touch the cheek with round movements with a gorgeous pink. Now finally the lips. Theres no need to emphasize. Shyly and slightly blushing. A pink that reflects the light of the sea, First Kiss. Right now, my lips are 38°C. NADRI Cyber 21 FIRST KISS, LAST LOVE C Y B E R 2 1

1. Introduction to Makeup for Beginners

Makeup is a fun way to express yourself and enhance your natural beauty! We know makeup looks overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Knowing the basics is key to making makeup easy peasy. Here are the essentials to get you started. We will break it down further, don’t worry: - Foundation - Evens out skin tone. - Concealer - Hides blemishes and dark circles. - Eyeshadow - Adds color to your lids. - Mascara - Lengthens your lashes. - Lipstick or Lip Gloss - Adds a pop of color and shine to your lips. Before applying makeup, you will want to have a good skincare routine down. Using moisturizers and primers makes a huge difference for a smooth application. Pro Tip - Apply all your makeup in light layers - This isn’t the 90s 😉 The most important thing is to have fun. When you feel more comfortable, try new colors and techniques! Makeup should reflect your personality so play around and try new looks that make you feel fabulous. Your face is your canvas! 💖✨

2. Essential⁢ Makeup Tools and Products

The right tools make all the difference when starting! Throw away those silly small eyeshadow sponges that come with the palette (unless you’re being creative). Start with a variety of brushes and sponges. Each of these have a place for eyes, face, lips, etc. Grab a beauty blender for a natural glow! You’ll also need great skin products. A good primer preps your skin and extends wear. You’ll want to grab a palette with a variety of colors for your eyes, lips, and cheeks. Finally, check out a few essentials like mascara, eyeliner and a few lip colors and you’re ready to go from day to night. You’re all set to glow! 💄✨ Great brush kit!

3. Preparing Your Skin for⁣ Makeup

Start with a clean slate. Make sure to cleanse your skin to remove all the dirt and oil from your face. You can gently exfoliate your skin to make a smoother surface. This will help minimize dry patches so makeup can glide on smoothly. Make sure to hydrate with a good moisturizer suited to your skin type for a comfortable base. Here are some great options for different skin types: Cleanser - Oily/Combination: Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser 6.5 oz - Dry: Skin Beauty Chamomile Cleansing Milk | Cleanser & Makeup Remover  - Sensitive: Rhonda Allison Herbal AHA Cleanser - 4 oz (R04)  Next, apply a primer to help your makeup application. A primer is a barrier that extends makeup wear, but also blurs skin imperfections. Choose one that targets your skin concerns – mattifying for oily skin or illuminating for dry skin. Let your moisturizer and primer sit for a few minutes before applying foundation. This prep will give you the perfect base for your makeup to shine! ✨ Primer - Oily/Combination: Youngblood Complexion Correcting Primer  - Dry: Skin Beauty Lemon Water Gel Cream | Hyaluronic Acid Treatment  - Sensitive: Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Prime Time BB Primer Cream SPF 30 - 1 oz 

4. Step⁤ 1: ​Foundation Application

Let’s start with foundation application. Start by choosing the right formula for your skin type and coverage. Consider: - Skin Type: liquid for dry skin and powder for oily skin. Just keep “opposites attract” in mind. - Coverage Level: This is solely up to you. Decide if you want sheer, medium or full coverage! - Finish: Dewy or matte to suit your overall look. Use your preferred tool: a brush, sponge or your fingers. Something to keep in mind is to apply the foundation in small amounts. Make sure to blend towards the hairline and jawline for a seamless finish. If you need extra coverage build it up gradually for a natural look. You’re on your way to a great base! 🌟

5. Step 2: Concealer⁤ and Highlighting

When your foundation is set the next step is to brighten and balance your complexion with concealer and highlighter. Begin by using concealer on areas that need extra coverage—under your eyes, blemishes or redness. Use a small fluffy brush or your ring finger to tap the product in gently—this helps avoid rubbing. Choose a shade that’s one or two tones lighter than your foundation for a natural brightening effect. Now let’s add some glow. Apply on these areas for definition: - Cheekbones - Bridge of the nose - Centre of the forehead - Cupid’s bow Use a fan brush or your fingers to blend the highlighter for a natural look. Cream or liquid gives a dewy finish, powder gives a more defined glow. Both options are great and don’t overpower your makeup! ✨ Check out this tutorial for more details on how to contour and highlight for your face shape!

6. Step 3: ‌Eyeshadow Basics

Ready to slay the eyeshadow game? Start by choosing the right brushes: fluffy ones for blending and flat ones for packing on color. Don’t forget to experiment with powder, cream, and liquid shadows—each has its own flair! We recommend starting with a powder eyeshadow first. As you get more comfortable try out some cream and liquid eyeshadows. Next, pick a color palette that vibes with your skin tone. You'll want to always have neutrals on hand but go bold when you want to make a statement! Layering is where the magic happens: - Apply a base color - Deepen the crease - Highlight the brow bone and inner corners. With a little practice, you’ll blend like a pro and create eye looks that truly shine! 👁️✨

7. Step 4: ⁢Eyeliner and Mascara Application

Eyeliner and mascara are your BFFs if you’re looking for definition! Start with an eyeliner. You can choose between liquid, gel or pencil. - Liquid Eyeliner - Gel Eyeliner - Pencil Eyeliner For a classic look go for black or dark brown to define your lash line. Here are some quick tips: - Start at the inner corner and draw along your lash line. - For a wing, extend the liner outward with a small flick that follows your eye’s curve. - Build up the color for a bolder look! Now let’s get those lashes going with mascara! A few swipes of volumizing mascara will do the trick. To avoid clumps, follow these steps: - Wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes and sweep it up. - For drama apply a second coat while the first is still a bit wet. - Pro tip: Use a clean spoolie to separate any clumps.

8. Step 5: Blush and ⁢Bronzer Application

Blush and bronzer are essentials for illuminating your face! Start with the bronzer and apply where the sun would hit your face. Bronzer is like faux-sunshine in a bottle! Focus on these areas: - Forehead: Dust lightly along the hairline. - Cheekbones: Sweep just below the apples of your cheeks. - Jawline: Define by applying underneath the jaw. Next is time for blush! The right shade will brighten your complexion instantly. Pro-tip, smile gently to find the apples of your cheeks and apply lightly with a soft motion for a natural finish. Blend the bronzer and blush together for a seamless transition. It can be easy to overdo blush, so be careful! Now you’re done! ✨

9. Step 6: Lip Makeup Essentials

Here’s how to get the perfect lip look! For a smooth surface, you can exfoliate your lips before applying lipstick. I always like to begin with a nourishing lip balm to keep my lips hydrated and flake free. This step is important for lip makeup. Choosing the right color is key - We have a whole blog post about this here! These are the must-haves for your lip collection: - Lipstick: Choose a shade that suits your skin tone, matte, satin or glossy finish. - Lip Liner: Defines your lips, prevents feathering and extends wear. - Gloss: Adds dimension and shine for a fuller look. - Liquid Lipstick: For long lasting color! Don’t be afraid to be bold! 💋✨

10.⁤ Complete the Look: Setting⁤ Your Makeup

Once you’re done with your makeup it’s time to set it! Use a setting spray to lock it in and add a refreshing finish. Choose a matte spray for oily skin or a dewy one for dry or combination skin and hold it about 8-10 inches away. This is not essential but comes in handy for long days. With these steps your makeup will last all day! ✨💖

11. Common⁢ Mistakes ​to Avoid

When you start to get into makeup it’s important to avoid common mistakes. Here are some key tips to remember: - Planning: It might sound silly, but starting with a clear routine will help you prevent mistakes! Know the steps and the products you’ll use so you don’t get confused. It’ll take some time to get into a routine, but practice makes perfect. - Prep Your Skin: Skipping skincare can lead to uneven application. Always cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize before putting makeup on. Don’t forget to wash the makeup off, too! - Choose the Right Products: Don’t forget your skin type! Choose products that suit your skin for the best results. Sometimes this takes some time to figure out, but it’s worth your time. - Application Techniques: Don’t rush! Use the right tools (brushes, sponges) and take your time to blend. Eventually you’ll be a master! - Setting Your Makeup: Lock in your look with a setting spray or powder to set and prevent shine. So, there you have it! 💄✨

12. Conclusion: ⁢Embrace ‍Your Unique ⁤Beauty

In a world that tries to fit you into a narrow box, remember true beauty is about being you! Your features are unique and gorgeous. Be what makes you different—self acceptance is powerful! Here are some ways to celebrate your beauty – we all need a pep talk sometimes! - Self-Love: Treat yourself like the rockstar you are! - Challenge the Norms: Redefine beauty on your own terms. Makeup is the perfect place to do this! - Positive Vibes Only: Surround yourself with good people who uplift your spirits. - Show Off Your Uniqueness: Experiment and have fun with makeup! Being yourself is not only good for your self-image but also good for others. Let’s celebrate YOU! 🌟💖

𝓽hings to do instead of scrolling ౨ৎ

summer is here, school is over and you have way too much free time on your hands. so unless you want to spend your whole days with your eyes locked on a screen, here's an in- depth guide on what to do this summer, or whenever!!

learn a new language - trust me, speaking more than one language is a skill that everyone should have, and it always comes in handy. you can watch tv shows, movies or youtube videos in your target language, read beginner books, use apps (not duolingo though.. ) and even just listen to music!! just expose yourself to the language as much as you can, even better if you know anyone you can have conversations with. you could also learn sign language!!

journal or scrapbook - writing down your feelings really helps understanding your own self more. you can try doing shadow work to really dive deep, or just write whatever you feel in that moment. it doesn't have to become a chore, and remember, write for yourself and not as if someone else was going to read!! as for scrapbooking, just print out some nice photos and decorate the pages with stickers, drawings, fun colored paper.. whatever you want, just be creative!!

make art - it doesn't have to look perfect, remember that all art is beautiful in its own way. even if you think you're not good at it, just create, it will help you feel better & you'll also get better with time!! you can draw, paint, sculpt, do pottery, etc. you don't have to follow any guidelines, just buy a random sketchbook, bring out your inner child and do whatever you feel like doing

learn how to play an instrument - this can be a bit expensive, but if you have any instrument in your house that you've never used, it might be a great time to start learning it!! you don't necessarily need to take classes, you can easily find tutorials on youtube, even though it might be harder to learn by yourself. but making music is a really fun activity & good for the soul

reading and writing - i will never recommend reading enough !! everyone should read. it helps you learn new things, understand different perspectives, expand your vocabulary, and so much more. i know books can be expensive, but you can always try to buy them at flea markets, or ask a friend/family member to lend you some. and just in case, there are always some sites where you can read books online for free, like zlibrary!! you can read before going to bed instead of staying on your phone (which is sooo bad for your sleep), at the beach while tanning or outside while getting some fresh air. and if reading books inspires you, you can try to write something!! i'm not saying you have to write a 600 page book, but you can try to write small stories, or poetry, and who knows, someday you might actually write a book! if you want to get published, there are some small literary magazines you can find on social media that publish the works of small writers, it can be a great way to start. you can also always post your works here on tumblr, substack, or any social media platform!! you could also try to write the story for a movie and start screenwriting, if you're into cinematography

research interesting topics - now that school isn't forcing you to study things that maybe you don't care about, you can study whatever you want !! remember, knowledge is power, and with the internet, you basically have the world in your hands. you can watch a youtube video, read a book, or simply research on websites (make sure they're reliable though). you can also take online courses!! i might make a post on ideas for what to research??

start a new hobby - your life can't only be made of school/work, sleep, and a screen. you need hobbies that you actually like and that make you feel good. some of these can be: baking and cooking, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, jewelry making, nail art, makeup, photography, editing, blogging/vlogging, coloring, candle making, soap making, perfume making, modeling, origami, sewing, making diy stuff, chess, puzzles, acting, singing, flower arranging, meditating, lego building, trying new hairstyles or outfits, doing animations, discovering new music, sudoku, the things i previously wrote, and probably a million other activities i can't think of right now

stay active - moving you body is good for both your physical and mental health, i'm sure we all know that. you can go on walks or runs in the nature with your headpones on, or do any sport that you like- some ideas: swimming, dancing (ballet, hip hop, modern, ecc) , tennis, martial arts (judo, karate, taekwondo, ecc), volleyball, basketball, athletics, gymnastics, football, archery, fencing, table tennis, boxing, surfing, rowing, hockey, horseback riding, softball, golf, biking, figure skating, rollerblading, skating.. you don't need to do it competitively (unless you want to), as long as you're having fun and moving your body. you can also do workouts, like yoga or pilates, at home or outdoors, or go hiking.

watch movies, tv shows, or documentaries - it can always be a good learning experience, or just something fun and relaxing that isn't mindlessly scrolling. a bonus: after you've watched something, write a very long, detailed and in-depth review in your journal. you can also post it wherever you want (like letterboxd, to fight all the one liners)

hang out - with friends, family, or even by yourself !! (i know, i know, it can be scary). you can do anything, as long as you're with the right people everything is fun, but here's some ideas: have a picnic, go to the beach, go to a water park, have a baking contest, do temporary tattoos, go to a concert, go out to eat, do a one day trip, go on a road trip, take a walk in the nature, go hiking, go to a trampoline park, go to an amusement park, visit a museum, go thrifting or shopping, have a board games night, try out a new cute cafe or bakery, do an escape room, have a karaoke night, have a movie marathon, and so much more!!

i hope this helped!! ♡

2 hours before i close reqs!!! caesar’s part is the longest. myb. I love my king. cw: none. gn! reader, fluff, small hurt with comfort.

“ astra baby, eve’s calling for transport, we gotta get outta here in fifteen. i’ll apply that eyeliner for you. “

you offered, walking inside of the shared bathroom while the singer does her makeup for the meet n’ greet she’s has to be attend in thirty minutes. astra was supposed to already be at the event an hour early to coordinate with the directors but she overslept. given that astra had a busy schedule this week, you and evelyn allowed her to sleep in. that was probably a mistake because it was hard to get her awake. slobber running down her chin, black tresses ruffled, and she was out of it.

“ yes! “ your girlfriend celebrates, grinning jubilantly at you, “ alright, c’mon! “ she grasps your forearm excitedly, luring you next to her.

amused, you fumble around for her signature eyeliner amongst her makeup items messily strewn about across the bathroom counter. “ i don’t get why you’re always get so excited for me to do your makeup, sunshine. i only do this whenever we gotta get you ready quicker. “

“ oh that’s fine, i don’t care! i just love it when you do my makeup. actually, i’d prefer for you to be my makeup artist! “

you chuckled, finding the star liquid liner and pop it open with ease. “ let’s not go too far, honey. i only learn through tutorials and you to help out. unfortunately, eve had to be my training dummy until i got decent. “

poor evelyn, she volunteered and had to deal with your beginner mistakes. the amount of times you fucked up even under astra’s guide and evelyn’s face looked as if a kid drew on her was insane. astra didn’t even bother to hold back her wheezing laughter and snap just rolled on the floor laughing too—leaving you and evelyn sitting in embarrassment.

“ mm, still don’t care! you and eve are my one and onlys after all~! “

you roll your eyes, resisting to smile ear to ear at her affectionate words. yet, the shy expression on your face says it all. of course, astra notices, her shiny pearl earrings jingles as she tilts her head towards your face, the corner of loving eyes crinkling,

“ aww, flustered? you’re so cute, darling! “ she croons, “ i just wanna kiss you silly—c’mon, gimme a kiss! “

“ astraa, no. we’re on crunch time. now, stand still and close your eyes, i have to do your eyeliner. “

the adorable look of disappointment dawns on her face and she does as instructed. she closes her pretty eyes and straightens her posture. you hold her chin with careful fingers and tilt her head at an angle for you to manage. holding the pen a certain way, you let out a thoughtful hum, scanning her facial features.

“ gonna do the left eye first, ‘kay? “

“ okie. “

using your wrist, you apply the red liquid tip to close to the center of eye and applied the ink outwards, gliding it along her curled lashes in short strokes.

“ alllright. look at the mirror and see if i did it right. “

astra does with excitement.

“ yup! you did it perfectly! can i get a kiss now? “ she looks back at you with hopeful, sparkling eyes. you shake your head, holding her chin once again.

“ no baby, now i gotta do your other eye and we dip. snap is probably gonna come to get us if we take too long. “

“ just one kiss, just one kiss! pleaseee? “

“ no. remember last time you couldn’t hold still while i was trying to trim your bangs, you tried to kiss me and I ended up cutting half your bang, making it terribly uneven? “

“ that time was different! plus, my ‘uneven bang’ isn’t even that bad! i think it fits me! i’m asking for a kiss now instead of trying to do it during this time! “

“ except this time, we have to get your makeup done as quickly as possible so we can leave, astra. i know you want to kiss me but now isn’t the time. i also don’t want to smudge your lipstick. “ you sighed, trying your best to ignore the puppy eyes astra is currently giving you.

the singer argues back, “ but it’s a star product, the type of product that doesn’t smudge!—“

“ nope, close your eyes, astra. the longer you argue back the more late we are. “ you chimed firmly and she does so with a cute pout.

you did the same thing you’ve done earlier with her left eye with practiced ease. studying her closed lids, the liner looks perfect.

“ ok, i’m done. let’s—“

she puckers her lips out, eyes still closed.

“ fine. you better be right with the lipstick not smudging bit. “

you lean in to peck her lips. with lightning speed you didn’t know she had, her palms fly to the fat of your cheeks and she pulls you into a full blown kiss.

“ muwahhhh! “

“ mmhn?! “

poor snap walts in right in time just to see the scene.”

“ ethu na naaaaa! (oh my goshhh, where’s the cameraboo?! oh i am the cameraboo!)“

“ miyabi, break time! “

her fox ears perk up at the sound of your voice. she stops her training, relaxing her sword stance to advert her undivided attention over to you walking across the engawa, holding a melon and a decently sized plate in your hands. she finds herself staring at the captivating smile on your lips as you make your way towards the training area. although her expression doesn’t necessarily change, her heart was swooning. mountains of motivation adds on to the endless motivation that she has to become stronger. everyday you remind of the reason why she needs to.

“ okay. allow me to cut the melon, my love. “

you nod your head happily and tossed the fruit in the air and held out your plate. in a flash, she jumps after the melon to cut it into perfect, triangular pieces in several quick, precise slashes, and lands on the gravel gracefully. not a moment later, the slices of melon drops perfectly onto the plate.

“ 10/10! as expected, you’d be the perfect fruit ninja!”

miyabi flicks her blade to the side, skillfully wiping off the juices from the special metal and sheathes it. she adjusts her kimono, tilting her head to the side with pique interest.

“ fruit ninja? “

“ you know, that game where you slice fruit that’s tossed up in the air and you use your finger to cut them up on your phone. actually, it should be in the arcades now. “ you explained, beckoning her to follow you to sit down the wooden deck to eat the melon slices.

“ i see. that sounds helpful to my training. to obtain the perfect fruit ninja title, i simply have to cut down all of the fruits that are thrown? “

“ yup, that’s right! “ you hand miyabi a melon she gladly accepts. “ we can go there after this if you want. “

“ no, not today. i want stay in with you. we can go to the arcade after i skip my last meeting tomorrow.” miyabi replies blandly and bites into the slice. she releases a satisfied hum.

“ uhhh, let’s not skip your meeting? your meeting is more important than—“

“ it’s not. you’ll always be more important than a pointless meeting. you’re my priority. “

your eyes soften at the determined expression on her face as she casually finishes her melon and grabs another. you giggled, switching your gaze up at the cloudless, blue canvas. “ I don’t know if i should be flustered or worried. i’m going to be expecting a phone call from yanagi tomorrow about your disappearance. “

“ that’s fine. i can just tell her to take my place for me if she wishes. “

“ i’m definitely expecting a phone call. . “

“ caesar, you know you didn’t have to come all the way over to the city, “ you continue with a worried gaze, watching caesar lazily slip off her crop jacket and tossed it on the head of the lounge chair, “ lucy told me you’ve been busy with overlord duties today. i didn’t think you’d be at my doorstep. “

she then blinks at you with prized confusion, “ but lucy told me you’ve been itchin’ to see me so i came? don’t tell me she—“

“ yup. she set us up. “

caesar let out a sheepish laugh, rubbing the back of her head with an awkward smile. “ ahhh, that lucy! i shoulda known when all she said was that you just wanted to see me without telling me when! i thought today! “

“ baby, that’s probably when you should’ve called me for more detes. i guess she also thought you’d come anyways without checking with me first. she read you like a book. “ you chuckled, coming up to her for a warm hug. she accepts with enthusiasm, bringing you into her strong arms.

“ well, i’m pretty much an open book. got nothin’ to hide. you know me, h-hehe. “ your overlord laughs shyly, growing rather shy in the warmth of your embrace, enjoying your signature scent she missed so dearly. she’s content with where she is right now regarding her position and life in the outer ring. but, she feels like something is missing, a spot by her side that she wants to be filled. you’re from the city and she would hate to ask of you to come join her in the outer ring because of course, you have your own life here. the last thing caesar wants is for you to move with her into a new lifestyle you don’t enjoy.

the sons of calydon never stay in one place—they are always on the move. a city folk like yourself can probably have a difficult time getting adjusted to the outer ring hustle.

caesar wants you in the gang (well, with her and the gang, because in her eyes, you’re already a member) so she can see you often. before today, she hasn’t seen you in over two weeks because of so many things had to take of as overlord. caesar hated the phone calls, video chats, she wanted to see her one and only in person. if you were riding by her side in the outer ring, she would see you everyday, introduce you to soo many things; her culture and traditions.

she would show you her freedom.

“ i missed you, (name). . “ she half-laughs, voice starting to crack a little. “ you have noo idea. .”

you pull back a bit to see her teary eyed and cheeks flushed. caesar looked like a sad puppy. you gently glide a tender thumb under her right eye to brush a tear away. “ well now i do, you’re crying. c’mon let’s get you to the couch. “

“ m-mhm. “

guiding her to the couch by the hand, you sat down first and patted your lap.

“ u-um, on your lap? y-you sure? “ caesar sniffles.

“ i’m always, pretty. let me cradle you like a princess in one of those mangas you love to read. “ you joked with a knowing smile.

she wet laughs, appearing more embarrassed, “ i’m cryin’ and you still wanna tease me. pretty mean move by my precious one. “

caesar reluctantly sits on your lap, wrapping her stern arms around your neck, legs stretched across the cushions. your hand slide up and down her back tenderly, she buries her nose into the side of your neck. she’s feel weird being held like this, so vulnerable, yet so loved. is this what feels like to be at the mercy of the person you love?

“ how long you’re staying, caesar? “ you asked softly before pressing a sweet kiss to her temple.

“ pr-probably not for long. i hafta to oversee some meet-up with rival gangs later. “ caesar responds in a uncharacteristically small voice, slowly calming down to her normal self.

“ ohhh, okay. “

momentary silence settles in before she speaks up again.

“ . . yo, babe. .”

“ yes, baby? “

“do you ever thought about riding with us in the outer ring? “ caesar inquires.

“ everyday. i’ll try to find a way to come over there a little more often. i hate that you ride such a long way for me. “ you muttered, idly playing with her pale green hair.

“ as long as i can see your face in person, I don’t mind how long i have to go. . .but i will admit that it’d be nice for you to be join us. the gang—i want you to be ridin’ the roads with us. “

“ it sounds like a fun experience but—“

“ i-i know, you probably can’t, “ she sputters, holding on to your neck a little tighter, “ it was just wishful thinkin’— “

“ caesar, hun, look at me. “

and she does tentatively, looking you in the eyes with a tearful gaze again. you plant a firm kiss on her lips and she wastes no time to reciprocate back. “ you didn’t let me finish. “ you whispered.

“ a-ah. m’sorry. .wh-what were y-you goin’ to say? “

“ i gotta try to see if i can take vacation for a month to see if your lifestyle is for me. if i like it well, i’ll join you and the gang. “

“ h-huh? really?! “ caesar’s face breaks into a toothy grin that stretches ear to ear.

“ yup! probably be in a month or two—woah! “

caesar cheers out of pure excitement, rubbing her cheek against yours. you two laugh wondrously, filling your home with laughter and hope for the upcoming future.

thank you, lucy.
