Makeup hacks I figured out on my own without youtube
I didn’t know contouring was a thing, and I contoured my cheeks with eyeliner. Like a smudgeable one. Only for photos, in person it just looked like something was on my cheek but in photos it looked normal
These days everyone is glueing down their brows, I actually started doing that when I got into playing with wigs for fun, and I took got2b glue and just glued my eyebrows down, and created a fox-eye “cat eye” effect that’s ever so popular now, using the glue and the wig cap itself to pull my scalp back
basically shit that drag queens do. But I didn’t know anyone did this I thought I was super weird for doing this. And then years later everyone’s doing it and I’m like oh okay- so you *are* allowed to do that.
The only issue with gluing your eyebrows, is when you take a shower you have to be really careful to wash the glue off before you get in using a rag and soap to make sure none of it gets in your eyes when you wash your hair/face. If it does get in your eyes you won’t be able to see, not even joking (this happened to me) and I had to literally do an eye wash over and over again for like days to get it out, it sucked. Don’t do this.
I don’t know why people aren’t warning people about the danger of accidentally getting glue in your eyes but seriously, be careful out there.
Another thing I did was over lining the lips, not entire but just the Cupid’s bow to make them look rounded off instead of more, angular. I have square lips and I used to think round lips were better so I would just do that. I thought it was a weird thing to do but, apparently it’s normal according to beauty guru’s now and is considered a “makeup hack”

I used to just smudge my eyeliner around my eyes because I didn’t know really how to do eyeliner but I just thought my eyes looked weird without depth around them. I wasn’t aware this was a “look” and was considered emo or punk. I just didn’t know what I was doing.
