Summarize the following:
The first thing you need to do is take a long, hard look at what factors led up to the breakup. Consider whether these same difficulties are likely to cause more relationship problems if you try to get back together, or if you might be able to get past them. It's important to think about what you might have done to cause the breakup. Blaming your ex for everything is not a great way to get him back! Breakups are never easy, even when the relationship was not a good fit. For this reason, it's crucial to think about your motives for wanting to get your boyfriend back. If you want to get back together because you are sad or lonely or don't like being single, you should probably reconsider. Just because you miss your ex does not mean you should be with him. These feelings will go away eventually, although it may take some time. If you want to get back together because you genuinely care for your ex and you can see yourself having a future with him, then go ahead and try to get him back! If your boyfriend was physically, emotionally, or verbally abusive in any way, you should not try to get back together with him. It's perfectly normal for you to miss him even if it was an unhealthy relationship, but it's important to remind yourself that you can do better. Because the end of a relationship is often tumultuous, it's best to give both yourself and your ex some time away from each other before you try to patch things up. You both need to be able to get over the initial pain of the breakup and think about what you really want.  This doesn't mean you need to completely shun him if you go to school together or have mutual friends, but avoid calling him or hanging out with him for a little while so that you both have the chance to heal and gather your thoughts. If your ex contacts you a lot, let him know that you're going to give him some time so he doesn't think you don't want anything to do with him. This is especially important if the guy you love is a bit shy or insecure. He may need some time to realize how much he misses you too! When attempting to get an ex-boyfriend back, you need to realize that it may work out, but it may not. Even if you successfully  get your ex back, there's no telling that your relationship will end up lasting. Prepare yourself for this beforehand to avoid being blindsided by heartbreak a second time. Take this opportunity to really invest in yourself and work on loving yourself. The better your self-esteem, the better prepared you will be to have a healthy, long-lasting relationship.  If you suffer from depression or anxiety, see a mental health professional for help. You may be surprised what an impact treatment will have on your self-esteem. Remind yourself of your strengths and talents every day. Celebrate every accomplishment you make, no matter how small. If you have a hard time recognizing your own strengths, talk to your friends and loved ones. Ask them to share with you what they think your most positive traits are. Try to be thankful for all that you have. Meditation can help you reduce stress and live more soundly in the moment.

summary: Reflect on why the breakup happened. Think about why you want him back. Take some time. Accept that it might not work out. Build your self-esteem.


Summarize the following:
Even if you are a male cosplaying as a male character, adding on a little bit of foundation, eyeshadow, and powder can help take your cosplay to the next level and make it look more professional. It will also help make it more photogenic too. You can save things like contouring and nude or brown-colored lipstick for last, but you should at least have your foundation, eyeshadow, and powder on. Use a small, angled brush to do this. Follow your upper lash line, then extend the eyeshadow just past your outer corner. Apply this extension with an angled brush, and match the angle to your lower lash line. Use the same, small, angled brushed to do this. Alternatively, you can do this step using black eyeliner pencil instead, and then smudge it with a sponge applicator. If you are playing a younger character, omit this step, as you will be doing your lower lashes a little differently. Once again, follow the angle of your lower lash line, and be sure to fill in any gaps. This will help create that single "lash" shape that male anime characters have. For a more youthful character, or a character with larger eyes, use white eyeliner instead. Starting at the tear duct area, apply black eyeliner to your lower lashes. Use an eyeshadow sponge applicator to help soften the liner at the outer corner.  For a younger character, use liquid liner, and omit smudging it. For a more youthful and stylized look: start at your tear duct, and follow your waterline halfway. Angle the line downward, just below your lashes, and make it connect with your upper liner. Fill in the gaps with more white eyeliner, blending it with the white liner in your waterline. Mascara is typically associated with boys and not girls, but it will help make your eyes appear larger and give them that thick, anime look.
summary: Start with the rest of your makeup applied. Line your upper lashes with black or charcoal eyeshadow. Line the outer corner of your lower lashes with black or charcoal eyeshadow. Darken your upper lash line with black eyeliner, and extend the line just past your upper lash line. Apply black eyeliner to your waterline. Finish your lower lashes. Brush on some mascara to your upper lashes, but don't curl your lashes.
