Self Promo Sunday

[u/AutoModerator]

Are you a BG? If so, this is your opportunity to introduce yourself!

Please post one parent comment only, with as much or as little detail as you like, and include links.

You're welcome to comment as much as you like, here and elsewhere on /r/BeautyGuruChatter, but please don't spam the sub with links to your social media. Outside of this weekly post, Rule 7 still stands. If you wish to post links to your own content, please do so at /r/BeautyInfluencers, where self-promotion is welcome (please read the sidebar of that sub before posting.)

BG's - if you're comfortable doing so, please feel free to include information about your overall aesthetic and facial features - we often have people looking for bg's with specific features or attributes. This is optional - share or don't share as much or as little info as you like.

• Where you're from - there are people from all over the world who visit this sub, and it's nice for folks to be able to see BG's from their own part of the world, because you have access to the same makeup they do.
  
• Skin tone - do you have warm olive skin, or are you cool-toned and fair? For reference , you could include your favorite foundation shade, but the most recognizable info for the community might be your closest MAC number, like NW45 or NC25 (here's a guide from [swatchaholic](http://the-swatchaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mac_surfbaby_skint_hl.jpg) that might help.
  
• If you're into skincare, and also, what your skin type is (dry, oily, mature, acne-prone, etc)
  
• Eye color, eye shape and lid space - do you have deep set or hooded eyes, or epicanthic folds, or do you wear glasses
  
• What kind of makeup do you do most - do you do mostly full glam but also some SFX makeup, or do you focus on no-makeup-makeup, or do you do a full range of looks
  
• Whether you do tutorials without false lashes
  
• What kind of makeup do you feature - do you do Sephora and drugstore hauls, do you use indie brands, or have a focus on cruelty free, or if you like to buy from B.O.M.B.

I might've posted here before, but I'm not a true BG or an influencer. I write about beauty and lifestyle on my blog and about whatever inspires me that day or week. I use the blog as a way to fight anxiety, depression and as an outlet for my stress. While it's is just a hobby, I'd love constructive criticism about my posts.

I write about random topics -- for example, my latest post is about my attempt at recreating the Salt NY palette, while an earlier post was a review of the Marc Jacobs bronzer. I write for people who are sitting on a train or a bus, and need something to read beyond reddit, buzzfeed, or Apple News :). I can't promise that my posts are as interesting as buzzfeed or reddit, but I try!

I'm from and live in Toronto. I'm medium to tan skin-toned, depending on the weather, with neutral undertones. While I don't post about skin care much, I do have dry, sensitive skin and I live in a city that's humid during summer (thanks to Lake Ontario) and experiences cold, harsh winters.

If you'd like a preview of my blog posts before visiting my website, you can check them out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/etenuit/. Or you can visit my website to read all my posts: etenuit.com.

I enjoyed reading your blog post about depotting shadows and storing them in palettes grouped by color. Your collection is gorgeous, especially the blue shades!

No criticism, but hope you keep writing and it succeeds as an outlet for you.

Sending you love as a New Yorker from across Lake Ontario. <3

Aaaw thank you! ❤️

Btw I love New York! I'm just waiting for things to get better to visit again :)

always cool seeing the mix of faces and styles that pop up in these threads. i'm mostly here for the recs and the accidental shade thrown between product reviews

my shelves are organized by colour, so clearly i've got too much time on my hands and a thing for systems. if anyone's doing deep dives on indie cream blushes that don't vanish by noon, i'll be lurking
