prime with lash primer on your lashes or with concealer or eyeshadow on your eyelids?

I use priming cream on my eyelids and under my eyes before I use my concealer. You can also use a mascara primer if it’s really shedding and flaking off. I never had too much of a problem once I started using the primer underneath though. I think it keeps the concealer from getting sticky, so if you mascara does flake it doesn’t stick to under your eyes.
I love makeup. If I could wear face paint, I would. It’s my creative outlet these days.

It’s an area I feel pretty deficient in. I tried it when I was younger and it always made me break out. Of course I was buying cheap makeup. But I never got into the habit of wearing more than eyeliner and mascara and lipstick when it’s a special occasion. Wish I had the confidence to do more with my face.
I've always found it unfair that men can look as they are and nobody cares while women are always supposed to paint themselves to look good. Why should we? The ugliest woman can't look worse than [insert name of male top-politician, rock singer or soccer star of your choice here].
A man who doesn't appreciate the natural beauty of a woman doesn't deserve one.

Some women look better without makeup than others fully painted. And Botox reduces natural facial expressions.
Environmental scientist? Or gold miner/panner? Either way that’s cool but looks like hard work!
Mostly ot but adjacent, I’ve decided to let my hair go gray. I asked my colorist to do silver lights next appt to help the process along. If I hate it I’ll go back to coloring it.

Same here 
I used to use a little henna to create a few highlights but I'm getting a lot of white hairs now and if you use henna on those, it looks like grated carrot 
So I decided to give nature a fair chance.
And yes, it is hard work. This sifting would have been fun had it not been such a cold and windy day. Taking the sample was pretty horrid, though. The Danube is deep and has dangerous undercurrents and you must always keep an eye open for the rather lively shipping traffic. (Those big waves can drown you). I really hate sampling that river.

The pic was taken a few years ago when we had to sift 5 gallons of mud for any sort of lifeform. The prey was more than meager: 4 midge larvae and 1 worm.

I like nature but that does seem like very hard work! The combo of cold and wet sounds particularly unappealing so thank you for doing SCIENCE for us all!Same here

The closest to the Danube I've been is Bamburg Germany- usb was stationed ther in 88-89.
We loved it but had a toddler so it was nice to go back home to family!

YouTube has been a learning resource for me.
Ooooh. Might give a couple a peek. Thanks.
youtube has a lot of goof tips and tricks. Except for one: I'm still searching for a way to fold non-wired bras properly so that they take up little space and the stack looks orderly. My bra drawer always looks like ground zero. I'm not really a very tidy person but the chaos is getting on my nerves.
I read most of that book and used some of it. I fold my t-shirts the way she suggests in the book, which is different from the way she say on the show. And, I agree with a lot of what she says. Expressing gratitude when you discard something helps to foster an attitude of gratitude. But I draw the line at how she treats books. I nearly had a coronary at her suggestion to tear out the pages of the book you liked best (like a magazine!) and discard the rest. Letting go of a book you haven't read yet because you've had it too long??? 
I didn't know that books expired. But I am a an utter bibilophile. My books are my treasures.

Thank you!!!
In recent articles, she has walked back that stance, but still, I can't believe someone would suggest ripping up a perfectly good book.
Word. Only books I'd ever tear up are James Patterson ones.
**Note, I kid, I kid... but he's not really my cup of tea.
I understand. There are books that I don't care for. A few of those do living in my library because they were part of my journey, but there are many books that I won't own because they simply don't have a place in my life.
I do like thanking things that have given you pleasure and joy is lovely. The book thing would be very hard for me.I read most of that book and used some of it.

I read "The Life-changing Manga of Tidying Up," myself. I don't take Marie Kondo's stance on a few things, but it has helped me let go of certain things. I folded my nightgowns the way she suggested in the manga, as well as my socks, underwear and bras. And then I ditched some things too, including certain papers.
