I am terrible at reading tone or sarcasm, but given that caveat can I say that while I agree that you could be more green, the way he is going about attempting to change you is...a bit much. I personally think that you can't yell anyone into changing habits that they have acquired over years, and if you think you can…
Also wanted to check if you have tried Wantable ($40), and Goodebox ($19). I feel Wantable is best suited for Caucasian and lighter skinned PoC. I am a oh..MUFE 128 and it is pretty hit or miss with me. Goodebox is "natural" and I use the quotes only because I am not very knowledgeable about the details around that…
Now you are perfectly lovely and you should emulate the looks you want. But by the gods I was expressing strong opinions respectfully in my head regarding all the recommendations. I should not be allowed near any makeup wearing or makeup curious woman.
She was happy, but her inner goddess was sad.
While I am a hardcore MAC lipstick fan, I am less a fan of their eyeproducts. No fault of theirs- they have pigmentation, solid range, lasting power, but they expect at least average levels of coordination. I am so so so so excited about the upcoming red lip.
it was so interesting though and I don't want to detract from that! Your scope was clearly defined and your article totally fascinating. It is just that when someone talks beauty within the context of a time period and culture, any time period or culture, my brain goes wild! If you had written about kaajal, I'd have…
Thank you! The desire for "beautiful eyes" (as defined by what that culture thought was beautiful) has a fascinating and ancient history. Sometimes dangerous history. I love reading all of it. I especially love comparing how different cultures described beautiful eyes, with a minor bias towards Asian and African…
I respect that this article deals with a very specific western interpretation of eyeliner, but honestly, if we are seeing how retro you could do, you'd have to go 3100 BC for Egyptian use. Similar for India, I'd guess because the use of kaajal is in all the epics, not just for a lotus eyed look that was essential for…
I think you can pull off any color except the vapid ones that won't show up, to be honest. In fact, I have a hard time thinking of a red that won't look good on you because I have since decided that Brick O La will look fantastic on you! You have the skin for it, the lips for it, even the hair for it. I am also glad…
I facilitated focus groups on this once, a global one, since the reality TV kind of extreme drama for profit phenomenon was catching on globally.
Jia, do you ever wear a red lip? If so, what do you wear? I have imagined Ruby Woo, Russian Red, Lady Bug and a lot of others and literally the only color I think possibly maybe kinda may not work for you is Brick O La. Which means it probably looks great on you and I am not a visual thinker.
I am sorry but my experience here and abroad has been different. Mostly the people I meet and have met in the past are/were awesome irrespective of gender or nationality. A few petty types sure, but evenly distributed. Have a great night and thank you for talking with me.
American women can be of many races though. Are you claiming they, irrespective of race, have less fortitude than South Korean women? Because I have lived in Seoul for a year and I think that whinging selfishness has no race or national skew. Also definitely jo gender skew. And as someone who has lived in 27…
I don't need a friend for that!
American (of all races) and Korean women have both needed a ton of fortitude to see them through what history and culture tossed at them, as have women from other countries. It is not a contest but a sisterhood, no?
What a fascinating topic, Karyn. I read in the 17th century, women divers were the breadwinners of the family while husbands raised the kids. Sadly, this changed over concerns about traditional family roles and the "lewdness" of their attire. There are less than 5000 of these sea women, most over 60. How incredibly…
Blasphemy!
"I am a little conflicted" does in no way imply "I think Republicans are huge bigoted shiatlords". Maybe your prior experience with blindly devoted democrats who are genuinely hateful towards all republicans, or your (above mentioned) fondness for Dwayne Johnson has made you needlessly defensive, but that was a…
Jalada means giver of water, or source of water. Prasad is a religious food offering. He gives water with his first name and food with his second! I want to be his friend!
