I have little red pimples on my inner thighs. What's could be causing them, how can I prevent them and how can I get rid of them? Thanks! xo
If your thighs touch often it could easily be skin oil or irritation from rubbing. Use a chemical exfoliant every time you shower.

whats a good cheap neutral palette for darker skin
“Black radiance ” pallets that look the exact same as the wet and wild ones are perfect and cheap. Prime first!

do you know any good products to soothe undereye circles? like rather than just hide them. i've been really busy lately and when i get undereye circles they feel sore and it sucks. do you know any way to soothe them (other than sleeping)?
Cold/frozen chamomile or green tea bags.
Never forget to moisturize, oil free. ♥
is neutrogena pore refining toner good to minimize pores?
from what i’ve heard, it works pretty well. also good for acne.

hey i was wondering if there's anything i could do about broken hair after i dyed it red it just started breaking off and its just falling out like crazy
Its time for some biotin pills and a trimming, you can’t really fix hair, only grow better and stronger! (Also no flat iron!!!)

could you guys recommend stuff for a sort of a simple everyday makeup look, mostly using e.l.f. products? i have light/medium skin and i get shiny in my t-zone. normally i use powders instead of liquids but i'm open to trying a liquid if it stays matte. also whichever mascaras/eyeliners/blushes/brushes/whatever you might recommend. also i like shimmery things for an added touch
sorry this took me so long but i’m basically just going to post what my daily routine is because i use a lot of ELF/drugstore stuff!!
1. wash your face- I like the CVS knockoffs of St. Ives- currently using this one.
2. moisturize! read through the skin tag to find suggestions on ones that work for your skin type.
3. use concealer on blemishes/dark circles- I use this because it covers scars really well. However, you can try this or this from E.L.F.
4. foundation if you want! i use this right now (i usually use powders but I’m trying this out and it works quite well- nice coverage, stays all day, and doesn’t get shiny!). this also seems like a good option.
5. powder- I use neutrogena but try sephora for a perfect match! and you could try this from E.L.F. (however, in this case, i’d advise against ordering online unless you’re confident you are getting the right shade).
6. blush/bronzer- i don’t tend to use either so poke around the website a bit for the different products :)
now time for eye stuff :)
7. i use a basic eyeshadow palette with 8 shades of brown. from elf, try this, this, or this. also check h&m if you want really cheap eyeshadow (i’ve been pretty pleased with the stuff i got there!)
8. eyeliner- pencil or liquid. I hated my liquid eyeliner from elf, in my opinion this is the best one ($3 at kmart or probably anywhere).
9. mascara- anything from covergirl or maybelline
hi so i got a really bad sunburn on my face i was wondering , besides aloe and lotion, it there anything else i can put on it to hurry the healing process faster and stop the peeling skin? like some face mask or something? thank you !
- take some ibuprofen to reduce pain & swelling
- try washing with baking soda or egg white
- i’ve heard apple cider vinegar helps!
good luck! you may just have to wait it out

Sugar you gotta go make an appt with your Derma!
How do you wear tights and and dresses and boots without looking like a chunky maniac?
I always wear dresses with a belt or strong waist to emphasize my shape and so I don’t get swamped in cloth.

so i got the big pores on my nose and chin and goddamn i just cant seem to get rid of them do you have any homemade scrubs i can make to try to get these bastards to go away ? thank you !
my eyebrow are very uneven, and im really unsure of what to do because im scared if i try to pluck them i'll mess them up even more pls help plsplspls thanks
if you’re that nervous you could try just getting them waxed. or, some places such as e.l.f. sell brow stencils. you can use those to choose your brow shape and then fill it in and pluck everything else. good luck!

Why shouldn't you get your eyebrows threaded?
It really really depends on your experience with it. But if you’ve had it done, and your threader is certified and skilled- go for it. But Ive had some not so kawaii things happen.
I (Taylor) got my eyebrows threaded once and it was the worst thing ever.
I was red around my forehead for a week
It itched and burned.
I wasn’t cute like forever. u _ u
Here is a Times article on it if you wanna read into it.
Pls don’t get your eyebrows threaded.

Click through to see swatches, how-tos, and my full review of all five of their innovative colors.

pleaaase my skin is worse than it has ever been and for months I've been cleansing it really well but I keep getting really bad cystic acne on my face and I don't know how to deal with it, what are some really effective methods of getting rid of/minimizing them??
if you’ve tried several things go to a dermatologist or your doctor
I mean it’s expensive and the first time I went the meds they gave me made my acne worse but sometimes it’s the only option
and now my skin is more or less clear all the time

To the anon with the dark under eye circles, I just started using the Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark-Circle eye roller and its amazing. I have under eye circles from my allergies and it covers them up really well. I think they also have one for anti-puffy eyes if you want to try that too.
Friendly non anon advice! Thanks madjean <3
best under-eye concealers?
I like cover girl stick concealer!
