Have you looked into getting your makeup done by tattoo? Never have to deal with it again.

Wouldn’t that fade over time? Then you have to put on makeup again anyway to make it look right. I don’t know anything about tattoos, just what old ones look like.

Any tips for eyeliner anxiety? Always think I'm going to poke an eye out

I find using a nice pencil really reduces my anxiety. i rarely use eyeliner, but when I do, my brand is Marc Jacobs. It has a retractable point. My BFF who is also trans turned me onto that

It would only be good for things that you always do the same way. Like, for those with really light or thin eyebrows, having some tattooed is an option. But blush, eye shadow, shading, lipstick - those can be done in different ways depending on the occasion, it's not always constant.

You also can't replace mascara with a tattoo.

Ummmmmm.....I use it for more than color..... not really what I'm thinking..... also..... That's one look for the rest of my life and if they fuck up it's not like I could wash it off.....

My thinking. What if they mess up? What if one of us sneezed? What if the style changes? You are stuck with it for life. Unless you get laser removal.

I mean, have you seen make up tattoo goes wrong

That's new, I know some people whose acne heals for as long as weather allows sunbathing.

My brother is that way. My skin gets oily, and I break out. I own several products to correct this, but it's obvious when I'm out

Having a decent eyeliner tattooed might be handy, but I wouldn't ever even think of getting a tattoo on my eyelids!

I’m thinking they just have not figured out how yet. Hell if they can change the color of the white in your eye. What’s next?

Thank you. I will look into that as well

Never used it, does it get runny, i get real nervous about my eyes

They are really good. You can get a wide range of colours too. Before application, I dab onto a tissue to fill the brush tip. It goes one more evenly that way. Rest your elbow on something to keep your hand steady and use your little finger pressed against your cheek bone to give additional support. You will get a very even line.

The main difference between both formulas lie in their coverage intensity and texture. BB creams are beauty balms that correct blemishes; while CC creams are color correctors with light coverage. "BB cream is more hydrating and can provide a beautiful radiance to the skin, [which] is ideal for dry skin types.

Well I'm not looking for permanent alterations to my face period plus what will that tattoo for do for blemishe, new scars, new, scratches? It sounds like a good idea, unless you wear makeup, and you can think of all the things that a tattoo wouldn't do

Stopped wearing it after poking myself in the eye for the 2,480th time.

I don't normally post here, but this caught my attention so I thought I would chime in.

I highly recommend using eyeshadow as a liner. It's forgiving and gives definition without the harsh line - which can make some look older. I can only speak for myself, but as I inch toward 40, I need all the help to blur those lines

It won't hurt your eyes. You could put it right in your eye and it will be uncomfortable but it is okay.

That's about where I'm at, but damn if I don't look so good with it

Nothing like that is getting close to my eyes. Yikes!

Do you know if there's a name for doing it that way? I could always look it up on YouTube and see how they do it.

There is some that you can mix with water that is dramatic when you mix it or softer when you don't.

So those are general categories and lots of different brands to choose from?

I do not like anything but the lightest products on my face. I have used some light sun screen type products. I am fortunate in that my skin is blemish free, and I am always uncertain about it making my skin feel oily or prone to middle age acne. And all the product the gals at the make up counter want to sell me makes my head spin with the complications and the cost.
