so toner kinda has two purposes: it balances your skin since cleansing fucks with it and gets rid of any excess makeup you might have missed when cleaning your skin. i use two different methods to take off my makeup so i very rarely ever use toner at night anymore, but i do use it in the morning to make my skin softer and to make my pores appear smaller since the water is cool. most toner is better suited for skin that’s on the oily side. i use thayer’s rose petal witch hazel w aloe vera toner bc it’s cheap, it last a long time and it has no alcohol in it so it’s not gonna be drying to your face like some anti-acne toners can be. like with any face product it takes a while to see the effects but toner has become a really important part of my skin care routine. in general i don’t like doing a TON to my face bc i’ve gotten to the point where i know what it needs, but you’re safe with at least some sort of face wash, toner, and morning and night moisturizer. 

i like to use a cream highlighter underneath a powder highlighter if i want it to be more noticeable! also more intense cream contouring will brighten up your face but i generally don’t like to do that because it’s too much work and not really the look i’m going for. hydrated skin (i use toner and put on a ton of moisturizer on in the morning) +  a smoothing face primer + cream/powder highlighter + setting spray is what i do for a brighter, less dull look. some face primers can have a “glowy” effect, like the l’oreal magic lumi, i think. idk idk does this answer your question???

me: wow i wish i was hanging out with aria rn

i’m like, detached at this point, the post linking to mine made its way to the anti-sjws, hell is empty and all the devils are here

Hmm I think I’ve only known one Madison and she was on the soccer team I was “””in””” & my dad coached in like, first grade? I stood on the side of the pitch and gossiped with my friend Celia most of the time. But Madison was good! A good soccer player and a good person. I always liked her. I just tried to look her up on FB and not a sign. :( I hope she is good!

i wish i could - this program starts only in the fall, which is annoying. trying to tell myself that i’m not in a rush!

honestly

these are both good points and I don’t have anything to add to them but I think they are worth being reiterated
