Beauty Ice Breakers

[danielledanielle]

BIC is the place to talk about beauty!  There are lots of fun threads, from mask to makeup (and even photo A Year of Beauty- Photography Challenge ) challenges all the way to pet paradise.  In my early days, I kinda wanted to talk to everyone, but I didn't know what to talk about, I just knew I loved makeup and had found my people.

With threads like Monthly Favorites: May 2025 Edition! Community Favorite Concealers: Tag your Holy Grails!  , Beauty Pet Peeves 2 I feel the most comfortable when chiming in because I can talk about makeup.  I figured, hey, let's open up some discourse amongst ourselves; a thread with getting to know you questions could be kind of fun.  (And, I still get to talk about makeup.)

photo cred: HelloGiggles

I'll post a question and a phrase with a blank and change it weekly? periodically. Answer one or both.

@jaaayp Wow amazing! Uh I wish my skin looked like that.

[jaaayp]

My skin does NOT look like that @Samtian nice Primer and foundation has been slapped on 😂😂😂😂😂

[lmaster]

Amazing job!!! @jaaayp 

[jaaayp]

Thank you @lmaster 🥰🥰🥰

[Cissy63]

@jaaayp  First off I see no large pores, greasy hair or skin and can certainly see your eyebrows.  Now that said, you are a wonderful teacher.  When is your next class.  I want to be in the front row!   Your freckles look amazing!   I may try a few 😃😃

[jaaayp]

Too kind @Cissy63! I would love to see how yours come out on you! I feel like freckles are one of those things that have no rules, it takes a little bit of practice but you can definitely master this after a couple tries!! 🥰

[CynthieLu]

Thank you for inviting me to your class @jaaayp that was fantastic! You presented everything so clearly and I feel so much more comfortable with the idea of trying something like this now. I definitely love the idea of some fun cute freckles. 😜 Well done lady! 👏

Please sign me up for any future lessons 👩‍🏫🍎 

[jaaayp]

Aw, thank you @CynthieLu I definitely need to take some of your classes on the eyeliner!!! I hope it was helpful, I feel like because I gear towards natural looks on the eyes, cheeks and contour is definitely more of my playground and thought I shall share 🙂 Encouraged by Dean Queen @danielledanielle 🥰

Wow @jaaayp  I have always wanted to jump on the freckles train but I’ve always been afraid to look ridiculous! I love that you really broke it down. And how amazing is it that I got my very own jaaayp tutorial on how to do the most amazing contour. And I’m sure you’re not that old like me. But I usually just throw my blush on and didn’t really pay attention to my placement but I’m definitely going to try your trick now. I love how your bronzer and contour looks so perfect!!

Ok but I’m still looking for the large pores and greasy hair. Is it like a where’s Waldo? I can’t find it!!! And pffft your brows look so amazing with no product!!! 🤣

[CynthieLu]

Same @ather I see no pores, or greasy hair here. It is a tricky find and seek, I can't find no matter how hard I look. 👀🔎

[ather]

@CynthieLu  I agree!! I think @jaaayp  has perfect skin and hair! 

[jaaayp]

@ather @CynthieLu you guys are just way too kind. I almost zoomed in on my own picture to show you them pores and my greasy hair ++++ my mustache (TMI, I know...) 

Freckles are so fun @ather I think anyone can pull it off at any age/face/tone!! I feel like it makes me too fresh even when I don't feel like it LOL I think you should try! (If not out in public, start with days at home?!)

[ather]

@jaaayp  I still disagree! I will trade you my old wrinkles and big pores for your perfect skin!!! And pfft greasy hair. Come see mine. I can’t even photo it because it’s bad. (Not entirely my fault we have a critical water issue in my town right now) 

I definitely will try! I’ve always wanted freckles! I remember my mom putting them on her skin with an eye liner pencil when I was a kid! 

[CookieGirl1]

@jaaayp I love your tutorial!  Not only that but freckles look so cute on you 🙂

[jaaayp]

Hehe thank you @CookieGirl1 🥰

[CorgiMommy]

Thank you Professor @jaaayp .  You look awesome and provided us with some excellent tips. 

[jaaayp]

Hehe thank you @CorgiMommy 🥰 hope you get to try and provide us with a few tips?!?!

[Sunnysmom]

This is just fantastic @jaaayp you’re so talented, thank you! 😍Not sure which I’m loving more, your contour, bronzer, blush , highlighter or darling freckles! Keeping this info to use and learn! Muddle me a drink anytime btw! ☺️ Looking forward to your next class! 🥰

[jaaayp]

Aw thank you @Sunnysmom 🥰 I can't say it's perfect but works for me! Hope you get to try? I hope to see them results with like 1000 blushes!!

[curlychiquita]

@Sunnysmom thanks for the tag! I had a business trip this week and was so exhausted I hadn’t been checking as much. I feel like I’m finally back to my pre-COVID travel schedule but 4 years older. 😂
