Anyway, yeah, it's an issue because my epicanthic fold means that regular eye makeup advice doesn't help me, because I don't have the crease I'm supposed to work from.

Being unAsian and yet also not having that creasen (or an entire epicanthic fold), I've seen some of those things around and they make me pretty sick. Plus they are totally useless. I too want to know where to stop the purple. And, you know, where to put the purple.

Youtube truly has some great step-by-step make-up application videos. Yes, there are a lot of 'dolly eye' vids but also many very simple tutorials by make-up artists.

My instinct is, don't stop the purple, purple forever! But that is possibly not the best plan for eyeshadow.

Ha, I have no idea where my crease is

I don't even know WHAT it is. But I don't wear eyeshadow, for perhaps obvious reasons. (I'd probably put it on my nose, or something.)

I don't even know what "stop the purple" is supposed to mean. But I don't have "good" eyelids either. Thanks to my fakely half-Asian mother.

Just yesterday, I was feeling smug about how long it had been since I hurt myself. (While talking to shrift about how she cut herself while cleaning a knife.)

Hey! I... can't decide if I'm protesting your smugness, or if I'm concerned that you keep doing injury to yourself. I guess I can multitask.

My eyelids are all crease. Sorry.

So I think I slept too much this weekend. I'm trying to decide if I should stay up for Castle, and start the cycle all over again (not enough sleep during the week/too much on the weekend), or get into bed and hope for the best.

I've been trying to figure out how to get my eyeliner to stop leaving smudge marks on my upper lid but none of the tips (from friends or youtube) have worked, thus far. Stupid oily eyelids. (Yes, I've tried different eyeliners.)

Even though they haven't solved my problem, the videos are pretty entertaining and informative. My eyelids are obviously stubborn rebels. Oily stubborn rebels.

I wasn't smug that you'd hurt yourself and I hadn't. I was just thinking it had been a while since I'd caused myself a decent amount of harm. Though I guess I did manage to destroy a toenail in June, which wasn't that long ago.

Sealant. Benefit's She-Laq, or Bare Escentuals Weather Everything. Put on your eyeliner, paint the sealant over it, wait about a minute to dry (or aim a hair dryer on "low" at your closed eyes), and then it shouldn't smudge.

I have solved this problem by using liquid eyeliner that requires jojoba oil and a lot of work to remove, but I understand this solution is not for everyone.
