Where to get FOTD inspiration!

Following a blogger who posts FOTDs(Face of the Day) is a great way to follow a single person whose work you like, but if you want to see new FOTD faces, you might want to take a look at some of these sites!
  • Eyeshadowsluts was the first place I found FOTDs in, and it's a great place if you want to start posting your own FOTDs since everyone is very helpful and offer great constructive criticism if you ask for it.
  • Smokin' Makeup is a community that you have to be "accepted" in to post in. This means that you can't just go ahead and post there, but the girls who do post have been "approved" and often create some very well done and inspiring looks.
  • Mac_cosmetics is another LiveJournal community that offers some FOTDs but since it's geared towards a specific makeup company, the community members also share a lot of product/collection info as well as cosmetics sales.
  • Specktra is a huuuuuuge resource for anything beauty - including FOTDs in the FOTD forum. I found the site to be a little confusing at first but once you discover where everything is, it's no problem! :)
    Specktra is a great place to go for inspiration and advice, but if you're looking to post your own FOTDs I wouldn't suggest starting on Specktra. Not that the members are rude or anything - more like the opposite, actually!
    I find that a lot of members on Specktra comment on way too many posts with simple things like "love it" or "great work" without offering constructive criticism, which is what you really need if you want to improve!

Where do you go for inspiration and advice? :)

You're very welcome :)
CC is the only way to get better :)
I've been given a lot more CC at the LiveJournal communities than I have on Specktra. I still love Specktra though! :)
I just find my inspiration from other bloggers' FOTDs :) I'm a bit too intimidated to post in LJ comms or on Specktra, though they do give me some great ideas

Don't be afraid to post on LJ!! I found Eyeshadowsluts to be a great place to start!
Take a look at the first posts I did on there!

great resources, I've found a great sample sale site from looking at the links you placed in your post.
