My adventure with incel make-up mostly focuses on figuring out what's socially acceptable and what's not. In general I decided it play it very safe with only using a good BB cream and some concealer (mostly for dark circles, but possibly the BB cream will suffice on most days). The rest I'll generally try to improve with actual improvements instead of faking it, i. e. using a lip balm and eyelash serum (along with a greater skin care routine comprising of peelings, face masks, increased carotenoid intake etc. ).
The biggest mystery is the eye area. It seems that eyeliner is one of the most socially acceptable forms of masculine make-up, present in many subcultures, but I think using it generally yields an ugly and gay effect. In general the aim of the actions I undertake concerning my eye area is to make it brighter and make my eyes "pop" i. e. be visually bigger and more exposed. Masculine use of the eyeliner usually focuses on the lower eyelid which seems extremely counter-intuitive as I think it creates a dark-circles-like effect i. e. you look tired and unhealthy.
I saw products which I would dub a "reverse eyeliner" i. e. an eyeliner with light/white ink meant to be applied in the inner edge of your eyelid, but I consider applying it all over my lower lid and then applying a very thin line of a dark eyeliner on my upper lid and perhaps the outer area of the lower lid, trying to recreate the effect of G5 MLP ponies. I'm not sure if I should apply some mascara to complement this look: I'm afraid of it looking too bold, all mascaras have claims of an extreme effect whilst I look for something subtle.
In general, inklers, how do you try to improve/fake your eye area? What products do you use, how do you apply them?
My own experiences with the eyeliner have been unsatisfactory as my eyes are very sensitive and I used a pencil-type eyeliner which requires some pressure, I couldn't do it right and ended up applying it too low or not at all.
Now if I choose to buy one, I'll surely choose the brush-like variety.
I also plan to use a tetryzoline-based eye drops as a part of my make-up as they work really great for removing any redness in your eyes (which is common for me as my eyes are overly sensitive) and making them appear very bright and moist (not as good as the pony above one of the many reasons why I'm incel). Tetryzoline is not good for constant use though as the mechanism of action is vasoconstriction which can make things worse. Outside of make-up, stick to eyedrops with hyaluronic acid or/and herbs such as the [UWSL]eyebright. [/UWSL]
