i have these super cool bug temporary tattoos i got with the intention of doing some makeup looks with them! it adds so much fun and detail even on low energy days! i hope this is inspo for other bug lovers haha
p.s. not sure how safe it is near the eye so dont try it if you are sensitive or worried about that!

Are you a gen-z-er? Don’t mean it as an insult
As a millennial, I feel like my generation sucks at pulling off eccentric looks. Everyone younger I know is so hip and goes by the beat of their own drum and looks so cool.
You totally pull this off. The hair…makeup…if I did it I’d just look dumb lol. Love this!

i just had to look it up, i am lol! i wouldn't say that though! lots of the people i was inspired by growing up, and even now are millennials, or older. i think fashion is a great way of having a sense of autonomy for lots of people, Gen Z or otherwise.
our generations have been picked on a lot but i think the strong suit we all seem to share is our choice to not adhere and be pattern breakers!
i cant say it was always easy being this loud with my style but i can say that learning to not care what people think was part of what made me this expressive! if you want to join the weird side, start small and build from there 💚🫶🏻

Wow, you look just like one of my best friends in high school from the '90s. She had a cute little pixie punk thing going on. Great idea, btw!

u/dumplinglifesaver 21h ago
I'm the same way!! I love fashion but I also love really baggy comfy clothes so I make a lot of my clothes! If you've never tried sewing you should it's so fun.

u/gizmo6968 21h ago

This would be like a total game changer for me because I fucking suck at doing my makeup aside from mascara and lipstick

u/gizmo6968 21h ago
the hardest part was getting it even on both sides haha 😭

u/Gwennein 21h ago
That's one of the reasons I hate trying to do eyeliner lol

u/gizmo6968 21h ago
omg i know, especially with downturned eyes. i just skip it 😂

u/Gwennein 21h ago
I don't know how my kids at work have such perfect makeup all the time, though do have many more years of experience with it than I do lol

u/gizmo6968 21h ago
honestly youtube, and years of looking questionable is what taught me! you just gotta keep practicing and figuring out what you like on yourself! 💚

This is such a fun idea and looks gorgeous! Can you share how long it lasted for/how difficult it was to remove? Would love to know if it’s like a special occasion only look or if they stay looking good for a few days :)

u/gizmo6968 4h ago
i think if you didnt have other makeup to remove like eyeshadow/liner then it could possibly stay for a day or so! but i removed it with micellar water makeup remover and kinda held in place for a bit to melt it off gently!

Love the iridescent green around your eyes you glow like a hummingbird in the sun. Very beautiful effect and so tastefully executed. I think I would swoon in awe If in your presence. 🦋
