How can I improve my makeup?

Hi MUA! I’m looking to switch things up after being in a makeup rut for a while, and I would really appreciate your help. I have hooded, deep-set eyes and crazy dark circles naturally, so I don’t have much lid space to play around with. Thank you in advance!!

(My lip filler is part of a facial reconstruction I had to undergo 2 years ago, so getting rid of it is out of the question, sorry!)

Sigma Eye Primer

Huda Beauty Liquid Blush in Cotton Candy

Cold water drop sensation on face

I was diagnosed with TN at the beginning of this year and as of a couple days ago, I’ve been experiencing a weird new symptom. I feel a phantom cold drop of water on my face near my jaw. It feels like someone dipped the tip of their pinky in icy hot and made one singular freezing dot on my face. Does anyone else experience this?

Need help looking for a dupe for my favorite eyeshadow!

I got this Frosty the Snowman x Colourpop eyeshadow palette a while ago, and I’m absolutely obsessed with the shade “Christmas Snow”. Sadly, I’m almost out and on the hunt for a dupe since it’s out of stock. It’s a cool, snowy matte white with subtle white glitter, perfect for inner corners and 60s inspired looks! I would appreciate any help and thank you so much in advance!

JFK and Family + Their Pool in Palm Beach, FL

None of these are in chronological order, sorry! They’re all from the JFK Library website. My favorite is the one of JFK reaching into the pool hahaha

Many seasons in life feel profoundly isolating to me.

Inspired by being in my feelings and listening to the Cowsills.

Maybe it’s my fault for doomscrolling so much and thinking nobody would truly accept me if I opened up more and shared my interests with others.

My Father’s Nose

Idk whether to tag this as trauma or physical health. I’m happy to report that as of yesterday, I was approved for a septorhinoplasty by my insurance.

excuse the bad quality lol, my paint pen was running out of ink. anyway, i have been living with ON my entire life. i was born with a number of craniofacial deformities, so my nerves are all jacked up. i’m allergic to a great deal of nerve medications, but nerve block shots are life-saving. i can’t describe how horrible my flare-ups are. it feels like i’m wearing a helmet made of pain. yet, society expects me to bravely smile through it all and downplay the severity at risk of being seen as “overdramatic.” being a woman and chronically ill at the same time sucks.
