- Contact lenses.

- Lashes - make a huge difference

- Eyeliner - Manipulate your eye shape

- Over or underline your lips, even change the shape, wear different bright colours

- Foundation - Wear slightly darker or lighter than usual

- EYEBROWS - makes all the difference - change the colour, shape, length

- Contour - drastically changes your appearance

- No-makeup - if you generally wear makeup, don’t wear it (not recommended when lifting high end makeup though, make it look like you know what ur doing)

- Tie your hair up - braid it, ponytail

- Wear a wig - make it look realistic though!

- Change your hair colour - if you have bleached hair, very easy to switch it up, don’t go for obnoxiously bright shades, but pastels are fine

- Hat - usually sus, but as long as you don’t go too big, you’ll be ok, eg. beanie, snapbacks - great if you have an unnatural hair colour

- Nails - Put on press on nails? idk how effective this would be but ye

- Fake tan - don’t make it obnoxious, please

- Fake piercings - generic nose ring, nothing too extreme. Goes the other way too, if you have facial piercings, take them out

- Gender - make it ambiguous. appear to be androgynous, if you’re a guy don’t be afraid to wear makeup

- Heels - cleated boots, 3 inch heels (don’t do stilettos, makes an abnoxious noise), make yourself look taller

- Layer up - Wear all black to look slimmer, layer up to look bigger

- Shoe size - this is pretty fkn extreme, but wear shoes that are bigger than ur normal size, idk, maybe if you’re on a heist?

- Demographic - dress outside of yours (make sure it fits into the stores type, don’t dress like a punk and walk into sephora) - emo, prep, basic

- Facial hair - fake it, shave it off

- Boobs - wear a binder to make them appear smaller, pushup if smaller

Its time to steal spooky shit

• Mascara dries up and carries bacteria easily, as does all makeup. Swipe a new one at least once every three months.

• I repeat: makeup carries bacteria easily. Help your skin and health out by lifting new makeup and throwing old out if you used (contaminated) it while sick! You don’t want to get sick again! And please lift simple antibac wipes to freshen up your palettes and applicators.

• So you’ve lifted as much as your gay little hands could carry. Good job, but oh no! Your endless pens and bobby pins are STILL getting lost. Change up your desk/room/storage to make room for a new swiped storage method (little boxes, wire mesh cups etc) and store your shiny new liftins to keep them safe.

• When it comes to clothes, do not fall into the trap of ‘oh my socks are dirty? Psh I’ll just lift more.’ No. You cannot replace basic skills you NEED like washing and cleaning with lifting. Lift yourself some colour catchers, nice detergent, stuff to keep your washing machine/dryer working smoothly. Seriously, laundering your lifted clothes feels AMAZING. If you’re struggling with them not really feeling yours, it helps tons.

• You’ve lifted tons of hair/body/face care products, but now you need to use them. Don’t waste them all in one drunk self care evening, please! Yoink yourself a cute little planner and build a routine for your self care and watch yourself flourish.

take this with a grain of salt, all info comes from my own experience lifting there and the knowledge my girlfriend has given me because she works there and thinks my stealing is hot.  

Sure thing. I’m lazy in bed in the morning so why not? Guys this is gonna forever be my official Ulta “masterpost” everyone keeps asking me for, take it or leave it.1. Don’t park anywhere by it, so they can’t track your plates after you leave, just in case.2. Dress nicely, innocently, professionally, and don’t wear anything raggedy or they will judge you.3. I personally have found that my favorite time to go is on a weekend morning. If it’s just a little busy, but not too busy then, it’s ideal, and honestly I can conceal pretty damn openly and easily because it is very likely that no one is watching, and the manager is probably not looking at the cameras, or if she is, chances are it’s not me.4. When they greet you, reply very innocently and sweetly, don’t sound nervous WHATSOEVER.5. I go prestiege and take like one minute, then I pick out some random item, doesn’t even matter if I want it, then I go to get one of those shopping bags so it looks like I actually want stuff.6. I fill it up in one section, wander, then go to an area without anyone and with a pretty poor camera spot. Honestly a lot of times this is still in prestige if I see the manager is on floor (not watching the cameras) in a spot with the cameras away.7. Stuff the makeup from the Ulta bag into my bag. Stuff about half, so it looks normal. 8. Walk around and repeat this cycle, always having a little bit of stuff in your bag. 9. Put the bag back somewhere. I honestly don’t like returning it to the front because I feel like it looks weird, so I leave it somewhere, usually on a chair or something to be honest.10. If they ask you about anything, ask for a product they don’t have. Or, if you have a bunch of makeup and then they say “what are you looking for” I would say, oh I’m just picking out things that ______ can buy me for my birthday” because then they don’t expect you to buy anything.11. I don’t buy anything. I used to when I first started lifting there but now I don’t.12. I just walk out, sometimes on the phone, sometimes just normal. Don’t look nervous. I’m 95% percent sure they can’t chase you. 13. Enjoy your new overpriced makeup, and wonder why anyone would pay $30 for a little blush.
