This last weekend, my friend encouraged me to try learning puppy dog eyeliner since he thought it complemented my eye shape. I'd never used liquid liner before, and wow, it is tough to master lol.

Trying to achieve this look quickly became my Dark Souls; get off work, sit at vanity, get ass metaphorically kicked SO hard, wipe off, repeat.

Last night I finally got something mostly symmetrical and clean, and I'm really happy with it! Feeline quite pleased overall. Just wanted to share!

Practice made perfect! You look fabulous.

Thank you very much!

That looks nice. If you look into making some changes, I'd suggest giving your hairs some volume. It'd easily add another % to your femininity, but the amount of effort is tied to your hair type and how you dry them after washing. I'm feeling like you already know that.

Thank you! This is actually feedback I get fairly often, so it's probably a good idea haha. I am always kind of afraid of doing my hair differently for fear that it'll look awful, but there's really no risk to giving it a go! I will blow dry my hair upside down today and see how that ends up lookin'

I hope you love yourself, and this change would bring even more likeness to what you strive to be. Good luck (:

It’s also just preference, I like your hairstyle and think you look great. Max femininity isn’t everyones goal but still valid of course

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you! That's quite true

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If it means anything, I find your hair to be very attractive. I get what others are saying and they aren’t necessarily wrong, but don’t take it as gospel cause there are those of us out there that are way into your hair this way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

That is very reassuring to hear, thank you!

And that eyelines !

Do you have good tutorials, videos to share ? The ones who helped you personally ? 😊😊

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Thank you!!

Yes! I've got a few I can share:

This is the puppy dog eyeliner tutorial I followed. I didn't use white eyeliner on the lower lid cause I don't have any rn, but it was still super helpful! https://youtu.be/-q1Zl_UPZYQ?si=gSgvkQV3bPgxy8O8

Here's a like tips and tricks video from Nikkie la Rose I learned a lot from, too! Her videos are great https://youtu.be/AqygMgKhFlE?si=KwaRa8xSbzJBUbso

And here's a makeup tutorial for trans women that was basically my guiding light for starting my makeup journey https://youtu.be/Gne_ktOGBJ8?si=UkvDOJgQpdZxVe5Q

That last one from Jane is so fun, I'm sad her channel isn't more active.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Woow! You look a-mazing, it’s really cute!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Thank you so much!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I dunno what puppy dog eyeliner is (I'm guessing slightly down-turned, as opposed to upturned cat eyeline), but your liner looks great! Your efforts really paid off and I agree with your friend - the style looks great on you. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! I like it a lot, hopefully it will keep getting easier to do with time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Girl, if you figure out the secret to making it easy - please share. I've been trying to do my eyeliner for 20 years and still feel like a monkey playing with crayons. 😩 Then I see all these makeup influencers doing it effortlessly and I just don't get it haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That shade of lipstick looks great on you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you! I think it's the first one I ever bought. I just saw a bright red and I was like "I want to wield that power" lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)
