Glamour Goals Update

Almost six months ago I posted some goals that I was aiming for in a bid to improve my glamour. I thought I would give a little progress report.

Work more on the makeup skills so I don't end up looking overdone

This I’ve been a bit hit and miss on. My makeup skills are indeed improving, but I am still very much a girl of very dark eye makeup. I have however learnt a couple of tricks to make it look more feminine. One very simple technique I’ve learnt is to not fully line the lower lid. Instead stopping slightly short which gives my eyes a more ‘lifted’ appearance. I’ve also slightly changed the shape I make with my shadow, taking inspiration from Grog (singer with Die So Fluid) which has also improved my look somewhat.

I also attempted some very extravagant makeup, think I need a bit more practice and not try and overreach myself either. I was doing well until I thought it would be a good idea to style my brows into the look. “Eek!” is the best way to describe the results.

Get my brows done so they look more feminine, I'm a bit too skittish to do my own!

Following a few lessons from the lovely Kate I am now doing my brows with varying degrees of success, I’m getting there, just need more practice at making them even. Still I will keep practicing.

Work on a daytime look that isn't wrapped up in many coats/hats & scarves.

This is something I’ve made quite good progress on. I’ve bought quite a few girly fit T-shirts which I will wear with a light hooded top or similar as I’m still a bit paranoid about my boi shoulders. Still I am looking forward to wrapping up again in nice snugly coats.

Get rid of my boi hair - now I'm more willing to show more flesh my arms are a little embarrassing

I’m afraid this is still very much ‘To-Do’ – I do run the trimmer over my arms, but I would like something a bit more long term. Unfortunately Laser removing all my boi hair would cost an absolute bomb. Guess I’ll have to get much more intimate with a Mach 3 much more often. The blood will be flowing!

 

I’ll update the progress and will hopefully add some more goals soon. Now with it being a horrible rainy day I think I’ll have a bath and do my legs…

Some Glamour Goals

This is really for my reference and I hope to tick them off as time goes by... Most of these I want to do in time for October's WGW. If not sooner :)

• Get rid of my boi hair - now I'm more willing to show more flesh my arms are a little embarrassing
• Get my brows done so they look more feminine, I'm a bit too skittish to do my own!
• Work more on the makeup skills so I don't end up looking overdone.
• Work on a daytime look that isn't wrapped up in many coats/hats & scarves.

Thinking a bit more, I'm less worried about being read then I was in the past. I might get some glances, but are they of admiration or fear? Hopefully the former, if its the latter then its their problem!

Skeletons and Socialness

Last night I met up with a few friends and headed to the Well House - a pub that appears very normal on the outside as you can see but darkness lurks within. For deep in the cellar there is a Skeleton. Alas I don't have a picture of it as the person who took the picture suddenly felt very cold and deleted it! Naturally I attended in glam mode, helps the confidence, though I did have a near disaster with my makeup, my foundation brush wouldn't wash out the dust from the bathroom work (should have covered it - I know) and dust combined with water makes mud! Still it was great to have a night out en femme.

Today I'm back to work, makeup stained and weary. Am working up the confidence to really attack my brows, I'm also tempted by a friend's suggestion that I see a Beautician. Will have to see what the future brings
