fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

didn't make sense not to shave on sun

your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb

So much to shave, so much to wax

So whats wrong with growing it all back?

[-] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 year ago

I just shaved my legs and it feels pretty great :3 kinda sucks to keep finding areas I missed after but damn this is comfy

Honestly to me face shaving is much more important tho. Shaved legs feel great, shaved face is a necessity (I have the worst combo of super light skin + dark hair, even if I literally just shaved the roots are still visible on the chin. It makes that area automatically more masc I think, which sucks)

Try a concealer with a lot of yellow, or just yellow color corrector if you choose to wear make up. Yellow will cancel out the blueish tint from the hair roots. Put your regular foundation over the top.

Sorry if you already know this, but as a ciswoman with a lot facial redness (green for that!) I didn't learn about color correction until I was well into adulthood. And if it gives anyone a shortcut in their journey I'm happy.

Thanks! I don't own any makeup, but when I do I'll have to keep this in mind. As an extra, for some reason some skin around my mouth (under and sides) has a weird yellowish tint. Any ideas about that?

(Tiny aside: to be clear, I'm a guy that likes to look fem/andro)

So, I know for blueish pigment, like beard shadow, you counter it with orange/red, and red skin/irritation with green, but I'm not sure about yellow. It's typically the opposite end of the color spectrum to counter, so maybe blue?

[-] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Worth a shot! Thanks!

Can someone act like I don’t know why it checks out?

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Germans are known for not shaving their legs/armpits. OP is on a German instance.

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

They are? Never knew that, as a German

Screw bodyhair, right? I want my legs to be as smooth as my pickup lines

Wait no, that's a terrible comparison, I'm super bad at talking to girls

uh

I guess you wont have to worry about body hair anymore

[-] gothicdecadence@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

epilators are goated

[-] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

If you have issues with nicks, get an epilator. It typically lasts longer and you can do ankles and knees without fear of bleeding out

[-] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

But it hurty :(

to all the forbidden hair experts out there - would setting my legs on fire forever rid me of body hair (important question that needs to be asked)

[-] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

No, unfortunately. The individual follicles need to be targeted.

Why is this my life...
