it gives a softer look than liquid liner - i have it in brown. when you first put it on you can smudge/soften it, i usually use my finger or an angled brush depending on the look i want, and then it dries pretty quickly and lasts a long time. plus huda beauty has been very vocal in supporting palestine which is cool! 🍉
and i also like the elf expert liquid liner in jet black if i want something sharper (which was already rec’d here but i’m seconding). it’s not smudge-able. the elf liner is a lot cheaper price-wise
(also both brands are cruelty free yay 🐰💞 !!)
I don’t really even fuck with eyeliner but about faces smoke sticks are different! They’re double ended a creamy liner on one end a sponge powder eyeshadow on the other I use both im not a big liquid person BUT haus labs does have like the definitive one
being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
