Yeah I think I eventually might pursue laser treatment or something to help my skin texture, but probably later on... when I have an actual salary LOL

Oooooh! This thread.... I frickin love makeup. My main passion in life is art, and makeup to me is just another canvas. I love trying out alternative makeup styles, had a stint with cosplay as a teen that's been on pause thanks to life becoming too busy (but this is something I'm getting back into now), and I am currently into mixing harajuku makeup styles with what's currently trendy in the west.
I love Colourpop too btw, I just bought a bunch of their monochrome palettes during the holidays. I just wish they didn't release a new thing every other week, and lately their stuff has just been variations of safe neutrals and I'm here like "how many shades of brown could you possibly need????"
My one big gripe with makeup is that I have really heavy eyelids. It restricts doing eye makeup (which is my favourite part too...) because I have virtually no lidspace. I can kind of apply some of the techniques used for monolids on them, but I often rely on eyelid tape (yes, that's a thing) when I'm trying to do something nice. I'm hoping to gather the courage to go to eyelid surgery in the coming years though.
And far as skincare goes, lately I've been trying to get away from a lot of skin makeup. Foundation, concealer, any cream products basically. Because I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather save my money and time by focusing on skincare instead of a good foundation, that's gonna look awful on my dry ass skin no matter what and inevitably make me breakout. I prefer no bullshit simple skincare, like The Ordinary, whose chemical exfoliators and niacinamide serum are regulars in my routine.
My hot tip is to avoid fragrance and essential oils in skincare. Neither of them serve a real purpose and actually irritate and damage skin in long term use. Like, you'll be using them during your 20s and one day you wake up 40 and realize, that your skin is rejecting just about everything in your cosmetics collection. Look at the ingredients of a product you're thinking of buying, if you see linalool, limonene, anything citrus related, or some plant oil, run away. These don't matter as much in wash-off products, because they're not gonna be on your face for more than 15 minutes max, but I'd avoid these at least in leave-on products. But also always check information you get on the internet, don't just take my word for it. Even I don't always abide by my own advice. I use a bunch of Glow Recipe's products in my skincare routine, even though some of their products have added fragrance. Their ingredient lists aren't the worst thing ever, and their packaging is just so damn nice and using their stuff makes me feel nice and fancy.
Question for anyone interested:
Do you think scrubs should be completely abolished in favour of chemical exfoliation? I say yay, but I have dry skin so I'm biased because I can get by without scrubs, and am in fact better off without them.

i only rock my daily makeup look (peachy). for heavy makeup, i'll end up looking like a clown lol
i would love to wear fun Goth makeup but i feel like im too used to not wearing makeup that i wouldnt be able to wear it without ppl pointing it out *pensive*
i dont wanna do full Looks but like im emo so i wear eyeliner and shadow p regularly. i also wanna try the thing that e-girls do (as much as i dont like the whole e-girl thing, its just rebranded emo fashion) where they put blush high up on their cheeks and the bridge of their nose. i think thats cute

I am genuinely asking, because aesthetically they're little alike??? And like, emo fashion was clearly Western to me, whereas e-fashion looks to me like it's drawing inspiration from Harajuku styles and Korean fashion to Western mainstream?

as for the similarities between emo and e-fashion, part of it is the internet component like you said, crafting a persona and making your page look rad. it's lost the component of the usage of web graphics but there's still the picture editing and filters.
but i'm not really sure how you don't see the resemblance? imo e-fashion is just what would happen if emo became a thing in the late 2010s. the building blocks are all there: lots of jewelry, dark brows and eyeliner, dark clothes + bright hair, chokers, band t-shirts, belts with chains on them, sleeves with thumb holes cut in them, long-sleeved black and white striped shirts under t-shirts. just a few things off the top of my head
