Hmm probably that I apply my winged liner extremely sloppily, then use a makeup remover wipe to clean it up to perfection. It looks so ridiculous before I clean it up, which is why I'm so hesitant on doing tutorials! Everyone would be like WTF?!
LOL Victoria that sounds just like me!
I guess my only strange habit is that when I apply my mascara I use a compact mirror and hold it SO close to my eye and meticulously apply it. I put the mascara on and then perfectly put each lash exactly where I want it using the tip of the brush.
I always apply my mascara on my right eye before left. I am very superstitious if I don't it feels weird. Also I apply my eyeliner after mascara I don't know if that's weird or not but most YouTube gurus do it the other way so..
HAHA I'm not the only one that wets the brush with the tong! (But I always wash my brush after). And then I feel guilty because it is anti-hygienic, but at least I only do this when applying on myself.
I have used pink highlighter on lips when I ran out of lip gloss lol It stayed fairly well! In high school, I also used a brown crayola marker to color in my eyebrows ... lets just say that one didn't work out so well .. hahaha
i use nude color eye primer to cover up my blemishes it has a nude pigment and it stays alot longer plus its a little sticky so it allows my powder to adhere nicely! :)
I discovered this weirdness by mistake-I sometimes will purposefully do a sloppy paint job on a pedicure and the excess that gets on my skin comes off pretty easily in the shower & I swear every time I've done this, my toenails look great and i get complements.
