>water, minimum 8-10 cups.
Especially if you're in a winter zone
>Moisturizer!
Whatever works for your skin type, good moisture will make a world of difference. Don't forget about your body too. If you benefit from face oils I recommend more biosimilar fatty oils as I find they just make the face look nicer. Shea butter is a great one. Wheat germ oil too. For hands and feet slather them in petroleum then cover in gloves and socks. They'll look and feel really nice
>Collagen
It might not make the biggest difference in a single month, but it is so good for skin and hair. Make sure to take with vitamin c for better metabolizing
>Multivitamin or green juice
Make sure it's something high in vitamins, the cheap stuff tends to be better as it'll be pure vitamins and no fancy filler. If you're a burger I've heard you can't trust your supplements so a powdered green juice is a good alternative. I suggest a dehydrated veggie powder cause then it contains the fiber. You could mix the collagen with it since it should be high in vit c
>Get good rem cycled sleep
Try and get a consistent sleep routine going but at the very least get your ~5 rem cycles. You can find apps that calculate your wake up alarm. It makes a huge difference to not wake up that 10 minutes early disrupting your final rhythm. Your eyes will look so much better and your overall face will look less tight
>Exercise
Getting blood pumping is important across the body
>Massage
Doesn't have to be too fancy across the body but lightly and vigorously rub your finger tips into your scalp daily and rub your body for around 10 minutes. More blood flow benefits. If you want you can do a simple lymphatic massage to potentially give extra boost. No idea if that'll make any extra benefit, started lymphatic face massages only recently myself but hey, worst case it's still rubbing the skin

I'm ugly because my discoloration lol and fucked up skin/acne/dark circles so makeup makes me go from a mannish ghoul to a average person :)))))) Im the only person in my family with bad skin! Yay for genes :D

Tbh I think that as long as the person doesn't have a fat face/double chin that engulfs their neck I think anyone could be beautiful if they use their make up the right way, kinda like that one girl on YouTube who's eyes are really far apart(I don't remeber their name but she's pretty popular) and even though her facial feature is odd and not the standard for pretty the way she applies her makeup makes her look so beautiful imo.

Obviously some will have to work harder with finding a unique style to accentuate the more desirable parts of their face but overall I think anyone can achieve a beautiful look through makeup. It's a shame guys can't wear it as a norm since so many would look so much better

Depends on a lot of things but I think people go about it the wrong way a lot.
First of all, it's not 2 boxes labelled 'hot' and 'not' like some seem to think, it's a bell curve and most people are more or less average compared to others. It also depends on what someone finds attractive and in some part also what people are being told to like. My bf thinks small rosebud lips are better than big full lips but that's certainly not the popular opinion today, and for whatever reason a lot of guys who used to think otherwise 5 years ago now think big instagram lips are beautiful because they've been told they're supposed to find it beautiful so many times.
Second, a lot of people think you're supposed to have [these] features to be considered beautiful and, while that's partially true in some capacity, there's many different kinds of pretty and sticking someone else's lips on your face and getting surgery to have someone else's nose might actually make you look worse. So it's actually really hard to say which one girl is more beautiful than another since there's so many different kinds of faces with their own special appeal, we can only just say what we ourselves find beautiful. I think Saoirse Ronan is beautiful just the same as Janelle Monae even though they look worlds apart.
Keeping all that in mind, if you learn how to apply makeup through YouTube by watching someone who looks nothing like you, don't be surprised if you still look like painted shit. So makeup can help, but only if you know what you're doing. There's very few people who are completely helpless.

Make-up if used correctly can make a girl look more beautiful. It's not the end-all be-all though.

If this girl lost weight, wore contacts, and let her hair down rather than pulling it back she could be rather attractive. She is blonde and blue eyed after all, and her bone structure will be more defined if she gets thin.

Based on his bodybuilding.com forum posts, Zyzz took testosterone and tren acetate mainly. Those have very powerful androgenic effects and it's well-known in the bodybuilding community that taking androgenic steroids for several years will cause a significant increase in your skeletal volume and overall bone mass. Zyzz' face became robust, sharp, and caveman-like because his test levels were superhuman.

Soap nuts are the best for body and hair wash. Hair especially, if you have curly hair I highly recommend it. I've seen them being sold now around north america (as laundry detergent sometimes) but the best place to find is a middle eastern or Indian/pakistani store when it comes to price unless you have a local health store selling large amounts for cleaning.
>Place 3-4 of them (more = more bubbles) in around 1L/4cups water in a pot
>Boil 1-2 minutes until it's almost syrupy and then let cool
>Strain and place in a bottle
>Dry and keep the nuts as they can be reused multiple times.
Make sure to massage your scalp well in warm water before to help lift the oils and dirts then pour onto your scalp and massage well before rinsing. 2 applications may be needed if you live in a polluted city. Buy new nuts once they stop making bubbly water which depends on the quality of the nuts.

I didn't watch makeup youtubers pretty much all throughout corona and then I randomly decided to watch some again and it blew my mind how god damn FILTERED their faces are and how I didn't notice that when I still regularly watched makeup vids. It's actually crazy.

In like 2016 people would do their brows like that, and then fill in the middle with concealer at the end. Or sometimes they wouldn't fill in

I used covergirl CG smoothers bb cream and maybelline fitme concealer if i have small blemishes. If youre worried about pores a pore filling primer can help before you put on bb cream, or a setting powder meant to blur pores.

I guarantee that if you eat calorie dense foods consistently like croissants, hamburgers, pizza, ice creams, and sugary drinks you will gain weight even if very skinny

>>19409
Yeah but the problem is actually getting those down

agree with >>19293

theres these boost high calorie drinks you can get on amazon. a case of them is a little expensive but you get like a months worth of them, and theyre 530 calories for only like 8 ounces of liquid. theyre a little mid tasting in that its just a lot of nutrients packed into a tiny ass drink, and they have to make it Not taste like ass, so in my opinion the chocolate one is the most tolerable. but you can chug one pretty fast, and they helped me.

also, if youre open to it, smoke weed. it will make youre stomach feel like a black hole, able to suck anything in without a feeling of fullness. but if its not up your ally, just slowly stretch your stomach out over time with more foods and liquids, eventually youll feel really hungry three times a day, and even have room for in between snacks, which will put on pounds

>>19484
These nutrition shakes are a scam. Just get a blender and blend milk, banana, protein powder, and peanut butter.

>>19382
Yep this is the way. Having more muscle mass increases your basal medabolic rate so you can eat normal amounts and have your body actually utilize the energy instead of just storing it as fat. Pick up a copy of starting strength and study it so you can learn to lift without getting hurt.

I'm not a titcow tier maybe not big enough to post idk.
>Do you like having big breasts?
Yes and no. I think big breasts contributed to my scoliosis, back pain, and asymmetrical body but it's not as bad as it sounds as they are not massive like some anons ITT. I also look stupid because of how top heavy I am because of my breasts, I would honestly look much better flat. I also am not looking forward to dealing with sagging tits in the future. However, I also like squishing and playing with my boobs because they are fun and soft, boobs can be fun to have so I have come to like them now.
>Would your change your breast size? Have you ever considered surgery?
Now no, but I used to when I was a young teenager for a short period of time.
>How has it affected you growing up? Any bad experiences with moids? Any nastiness from other girls?
From when I was 11-17 years old I would wear sports bras almost exclusively so they were flatter and wouldn't move freely like with a regular bra. I also wore oversized shirts and sweaters, or jackets to further obfuscate them and I was a hunchback too. I have been stared at before. There was one time when I was 13 I was felt up by a little kid as he shouted "MELONS!" when he groped me and whenever I remember that I laugh because it was so random it was silly to me be but he definitely needed to be wrangled by his mother to prevent future pervy antics.
>Has anyone ever made assumptions about your personality/character/libido because of your breasts?
I don't think so?
>Do you consider any types of clothing a no-no because of your breasts?
I don't know what fashion style it's called but I think some skirts and dresses with straps and suspenders, like high waist suspender skirts I can't wear I've tried one of those before and my boobs wouldn't let me. I also hate wearing tight long dresses because I hate the body shape it accentuates as my boobs makes me look fat.
>Any favourite bra brands or types?
I like Asian brands. Idk what type they are or called but they're all the same for the most part. I've worn a few western brands before but I really didn't like them because they weren't comfortable for me but Asian bras are more comfortable for me, fit my breast shape well, and provide more support for them andPost too long.

>Do you like having big breasts?
Overall, yeah. I personally like the way they look in form fitting clothing. I can't go braless though
>Would you change your breast size?
No and no
>How has it affected you growing up?
I've always worn baggier clothing up until hs and my breasts aren't big enough to be noticed in baggier clothing so no harassment from moids or jealousy from girls
>Clothes that are no-no for me
I'm at a healthy bmi with a larger bust; generally speaking, a lot of women's tops fit too tight around my breasts
>Any favourite bra brands or types
This is an unpopular opinion for some, but I actually like Victoria's Secret bras
>Any perceived advantages?
If I wanted to, it's easy to get attention from men. My bf likes them. I also like how they look in a bikini

>dad called me a whore at 15 for wearing a tanktop
I had a similar experience when I was going through puberty. I was slutshamed into putting a shirt on at a water park by my grown ass dusty brother. These are the same men that don't wash their ass

>Do I like them
I do, I think my body is nicely proportioned.

>Bad experiences
I hit puberty kind of early and once my boobs got bigger I wore a bright purple hoodie every single day for a year while I was at school because I felt like everybody was looking at me. I even had an older female teacher point out my hoodie one day and I never knew why she would do that.

I owned few bras growing up and wore bras I grew out of for way too long because anytime my mother brought me clothes shopping I was too shy to say I needed bras, and I felt bad at how expensive they were. It never even penetrated her brain that I had outgrown the need for a training bra and needed to be taken to the store until I spoke up because the training bras stopped fitting.

The girls never minded me but I was standoffish and didn't engage in much drama. I always thought my sister was jealous but I didn't give a shit if she was.

Some boys of certain persuasions would try to ask me out because of my boobs but I always turned them down in an absolute manner and they never bothered me more than once. As an adult people don't bother me about them. I just don't wear low cut tops out unless it's really hot. I know men will look and if their mush brains perceive me as inviting it by wearing certain clothes then they'd be more likely to cause trouble. Unfortunate but that certainly won't change.

>Would I change my boobs
I never thought about getting them reduced. Back pain is assuaged by posture and keeping fit. As for augmentation, no. I'm personally against body mods and especially fillers. It's best to accept what you have and work with it. (I know some people have extreme circumstances, they can do what they want to themselves.)

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I used to really dislike it now I feel pretty neutral
Honestly no, I used to seriously consider breast reduction surgery but I decided aggainst it as it would be expensive and the idea of going under the knife scares me
Oh yeah I've always had to deal with moids being disgusting and the occasional but of jealousy from women, you get used to it after a while tho but u remember having big boobs as a young teen and being treated like a sex object by filthy cumbrained moids
Oh yeah loads of people have assumed I sleep around or something just because of my cup size lmao
Tbh I'm very autistic and prefer baggy clothes regardless I try to avoid low cut tops because otherwise a lot of people won't make eye contact
I like Freya and fantasie but tbh I usually stick with sports bras as they comfier
Eh not really, they're fun to stim with I suppose

>Do you like having big breasts?
yes and no. for me the only good part of my body are my breast imo. but they look nice in certain types of clothes, like form fitting. i look terrible and fat in baggy shirts and dresses though.
>Would your change your breast size? Have you ever considered surgery?
i've considered surgery but i wouldn't go through with it bc surgery scares me. but id change my breast size to a c
>How has it affected you growing up? Any bad experiences with moids? Any nastiness from other girls?
they developed very quickly. by the time i was 12 i was around a c cup. and yes people stare, its disgusting especially if its from someone you dont like
>Has anyone ever made assumptions about your personality/character/libido because of your breasts?
most people think i'm stupid so i guess yeah
>Do you consider any types of clothing a no-no because of your breasts?
tube tops and strapless bras.
>Any favourite bra brands or types?
victoria's secret push up bras are the best and most comfortable.
>Any perceived advantages?
nope.

Got a nose job last year, been wanting it since i was 12 years old.
> Was it worth it?
Honestly, no. The recovery process was really hard and I recommend you to not get it if you're not %100 percent sure about it.

Yes! I can speak from someone who has weak, thin peeling prone nails who has been able to grow them to this >>13780 length and they are the healthiest they have ever been, though I’ve never been a nail biter so I can’t speak on that.
I use rimmels nail strengthener & sally handsons maximum growth base coat. I was not blessed with strong nails so nail strengtheners are god sent to me. I ALWAYS have my nails painted, if I make the mistake of leaving my nails bare they would simply break the next time I have to use my hands.
Cuticle oil is important because it makes your nails flexible so they are able to bend without snapping off, I apply it daily.
I use a glass nail file since they are supposed to be more gentle on your natural nails. I file them fortnightly or whenever I have a small rip/snag in my nail. only file in one direction don’t go back and forth. When your nails are wet they are at their weakest, so after a shower or washing dishes it’s important to be aware of your hands. My last tip is to have patience, you can’t make your nails grow faster you can only avoid breaking your current growth. :)

Do nail strengteners really work for any of you? Like they do work, they make my nails harder, but instead of tearing like paper, they become so hard and inflexible that my nails start breaking like crisps instead, if that makes sense?

>>13933
a year late but I use castor oil (or any thick oil) on my nails, and use the warmth of my thumb to rub it in. maybe your nails are too dry?
>they make my nails harder, but instead of tearing like paper, they become so hard and inflexible that my nails start breaking like crisps instead, if that makes sense?
try moisturizing your nails & cuticles, not using nail polish remover, wearing gloves when washing dishes or cleaning and cover your nails with clear polish to prevent cracking

I meant to add: take biotin supplements

I love to watch people doing acrylic nails, so satisfying.

>>19323
How bad is it? I had a friend who only developed 1 boob, it was a nice boob though. The running joke was that 1 nice boob is better than 2 bad ones

>>19325
>The running joke was that 1 nice boob is better than 2 bad ones
Holy shit that's mean (and hilarious)!

>>19323
malnutrition may make them more uneven. maybe you could try strength training your chest and massaging to improve bloodflow? most women have asymmetrical breasts (about 88%) so its more common than you think

>>19323
I was with a girl recently who'd lost a lot of weight and was talking about how her breasts were uneven but I could barely notice even when I was playing with them, I think it's something you're stuck with but it also doesn't matter since probably most people have uneven breasts if you look hard enough (myself included)

>>19323
Maybe if you go full anorexia skeleton death mode where people put you in the mental ward, you end up with even non-breasts, but with "normal" weight loss I would guess >>19338 is right

>>19317
Projecting? I am anything but. Your post is amusing me

>>19315
im toayrt, you're right about me

>>19258
you dont want to hear this, but losing weight will really help.

i used to have the opposite problem, when i was like 13-14 i would have people assume i was an adult. partially because i was extremely tall even then and partially because i was very underweight and therefore i had very pronounced cheekbones and a sort of long narrow face. ive gone up to a bmi of 23 now, as an adult, and its given me a much rounder face and has softened the angularity of my features a lot, makes me look younger and cuter. you could try to do the opposite probably

>>19314
If you intimidate all men around you, you're not confident, you're just undesirable to stay around with. You lack in social skills and awareness.

Sexiness is less about looks and more about demeanor, about behavior. You can look cute, but you act sexy, act lewd, raunchy, innuendo-y, vulgar, cheap and perverted.

Unless you have big tatas, which will make you look sexy even when you are in a coma.
