Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm terrible at makeup myself, but I got a great tip from someone once about eyeliner. I have hooded eyes and they're sensitive, so my lids twitch involuntarily as soon as they're touched by a brush so I gave up trying to do anything precise.
The tip I got was to get a soft kohl or mineral eyeliner pencil, and rub it on to my lash lines, being as clumsy and messy as I want. Then go in with a fine soft brush and use the brush to rub it in and smooth it all out and get it closer to my water lines. It doesn't wear that well on my skin, maybe because I refuse to buy the "good stuff", but it looks fantastic and way better than any of my previous efforts at sharp looks.
I do this with MOB cake liner. I throw it on a bit sloppy, smudge it around to get it in place, and use makeup remover to clean up the edges. Bonus: It basically also functions as eyeshadow
