Question for those who wear makeup



Recommended Posts

I've given up wearing lipgloss because with all the Water I'm drinking, it wears off really fast. This stinks because my lips tend to be dry and plus I <i>like </i>my lip gloss. I thought about using a straw to drink, but we're not supposed to do that because of the air that gets swallowed. Has anyone come up with a way to do this without reapplying 500 times a day?

Don't rule out the straw until you've tried it. There are about a million and one bandster rules, and you'll find out that only some apply to you.

I put on lipliner and fill my lips with the liner. then the lipstick then the gloss. If you want it to stay on all day you have to skip the gloss part and pat your lips with press powder after you apply the liner and stick:eek: . I know, not fun but it stays on most of the day. also drinking from a bottle and only putting your bottom lip helps. yes. I might have put a little to much thought into my lipstick/gloss:o . I go to school for hair and makeup so that is why I try to always keep my lipstick on. the director requires it. weird. I know. hope I helped

I'm with Hedwig. My lipstick always lasts longer if I use a liner, both as a liner and a filler first. It may not last all the way to lunchtime, but it's better than having to re-apply every 10 minutes. ;)

Studies have shown that the dryer the lipstick, the longer it stays. Maybe it's because you're using a gloss. just a thought.

I use a straw all the time and I never swallow extra air with one. Ever.

If you prefer using a straw, go ahead and use one!

But I don't have any advice about lipgloss, sorry

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
