Hope everyone is wrapped up safe and warm tonight. Lets snuggle down and talk about make up :)
So today I did something with my make up that I have never done before. When I say what it is you will think its silly but it made a big difference to my make up and was so simple.
Instead of doing a winged liner (signiture everyday makeup look) I just lined my lash line without the flick.
I loved the look and it was a super simple change but it looked really different.
What have you guys done differently lately? What is something you do to mix up your look.

Great topic! Such subtle changes can make the biggest difference and dropping the wing would certainly do that :)
I actually have done the opposite to you lol I haven't been doing wings for about a year. I hadn't really been doing liner on the top lashes at all for that matter, I just stuck to tightlining. This was because I'd finally realised that liner doesn't necessarily look the greatest on hooded lids.
However, last week I had the urge to do the whole sha-bang, liner and wings! And I did! And I don't care if there's only 1mm of lid space left, it made me feel good! So yeah, I've been doing that pretty much every day since, haha.

In my latest iherb order I popped in a packet of the Elf individual lashes because I have never done fake lashes before.
I only added 3 per side but it made a huge difference to my look... don't know if it something I'll do everyday or even every week but it was something fun to try.
Looking forward to using full strip lashes someday soon-ish :)

Kirstyj I have been loving individual lashes lately. You're right, even just a few make such a big difference, and nobody suspects that they're false. They look so much more natural than strip lashes, and are much lighter on the eye also.
I'm slowly becoming addicted. I just buy the cheapie ones from the $2 type shops for like $5 a pack. Can't go wrong!

Saird I have hooded eyes. One thing I love about them is I can do any colour eyeliner along the top lash and smudge to blend, waalaa! Looks like I have done amazing eyeshadow in 30 seconds.
Kirstyj those lashes looked great on you.
Im doing a makeup colour craze challenge with some friends. Today was red. Tomorrow is green and so on. We have to focus on that colour in makeup or clothing. Fun we challenge makes you think out of the box

I've been wearing full makeup during the day instead of just foundation, mascara and lipstick. I thought what the heck, I'm not going out much at night, so here is all this makeup, I'd better make use of it.
I never learnt how to put on makeup properly when I was young, so I have avoided doing the whole shebang. For special makeup, I have always paid someone else to do it. As I'm now an old duck, I'm a bit more adventurous and don't get embarrassed so easily it I get things wrong. So finally I'm giving the learning of makeup application a go. Teenagers are a bit aghast at being seen with Mum's efforts sometimes ;)
Oh well, I suffer their blue, purple or black lips and way out clothes.

I'm enjoying this thread. I decided to try a whole lot of new things this weekend whilst away for a wedding... let's just say, I re-taught myself the lesson that learning in the comfort of your own bedroom is infinitely the way to go, rather than rushing around before a wedding. Needless to say, I didn't end up wearing the false lashes which refused to stick, and I'm glad someonw thought to pack nail scissors, which were summoned to gently cut my hair out of the hair curler when THAT happened. There was much hilarity.
A few friends and I are doing makeup challenges and the current one is to wear a certain colour each day. This is really out of my comfort zone as I usually wear neutral eyeshadows and wear colour on my lips. For the challenges so far I have worn different coloured eyeshadows than what I usually wear and it's heaps of fun!
I've been doing two things differently lately.
One is putting a liquid highlight on the center of my lips after applying lipstick, especially anything matte. It just makes my lips look so much fuller and adds dimension and I adore it.
The other is that I used to hate curling my lashes because my eyelash curler was pinchy and it didn't work too well. So I bought a HEATED eyelash curler off of my friend who is downsizing her make up collection and I've been using that to curl my lashes the last few days. I am completely in love and the difference is kind of astounding. I never understood the hype around curling lashes until now.
Oh and applying under eye setting powder with a damp beauty blender is saving my life right now. It's amazing.

Yay so many things that I now want to try. Its funny how we get stuck in our waysfor what ever reason. Mine is im lazy. Trying new things shouldn't be scary it should be fun and empowering!!

Normally I just wear a tinted moisturiser, mascara and a lip gloss - the last week or so I have been playing with the (many) new goodies I've had arrive and actually do the whole foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, liner etc etc - I need to get used to it (and good at it) because I'll be wearing a full makeup every day when I start my beauty therapy course again - long way to go for either of those lol
