I apply with fingers just and then use a blender sponge to finish, make sure there are no lines etc.@mcfeez (hope I’m doing this right, not replied directly to someone before)
I‘ve been wanting to try the BM complexion rescue - would you mind sharing what you apply it with? Fingers? Brush? Thank you.
Dont put double wear over dry skin or eczemaThe best foundation I’ve ever used is Estée Lauder Doublewear. I tried L’Oreal Infallible Freshwear as a cheapie daytime foundation, which is also supposed to be a dupe but Estee’s foundation is by far superior.
I don’t use primer, I prefer using sun cream and moisturiser and I find it tends to make the foundation last, not that Doublewear is going anywhere when it’s on your face
Nor do I use concealer, the foundation covers literally any blemish/dark circle
I use Dior Hypnose for mascara. I’ve tried nearly every single mascara out there, and this one is best. I’d say it better than Benefit mascara which I’m a fan of.
Yes original OP, @Walnutss is right. I forgot to add this to the bottom of my post, definitely not suitable for dry skinDont put double wear over dry skin or eczemaI love it but it wont be suitable for that type of skin
Happy to pay anything for good productsWhat sort of price range are you looking for?
too faced born this way concealer is levels above shape tape (IMO)! I was a hard shape tape fan til I tried the too faced one!!!Im going to follow this thread as I have a lot of what you mention! Would also like some recommendations on good products. A lot of what I have bought in the past just sits on my skin and goes patchy.
Id definitely recommend following Robert Welsh on YouTube - he has some great tips on how to apply / recommends products etc.
Some of the products I currently use are (not saying all these are good options but the ones that work best on my skin at the moment anyway!)
Foundation - I really like It cosmetics CC cream, it works well on my skin and covers up redness. I also have Lancome Teint Idole and that foundation is lovely on, doesnt cling to dry areas and cover pores quite nicely.
Concealer - I would like recommendations on this as well - I use shape tape by tarte at the moment but im not sure I agree with all the hype! Have the cheaper Revolution one as well and that works just the same.
Mascara - I use milk makeup Kush mascara (its quite thick so I wipe it with a tissue before putting it on) and it's lovely especially on my rubbish lashes. Benefit Bad Gal Bang also works really well
Primer - I saw a tip to use eyeshadow primer on your nose (my pores are large there) and it really does work (I use urban decays on there) - a silicone based primer like benefit is good for dry areas. Milk Hydro Grip is another one (on cult beauty)
I also use Bobbi Browns one which is pricy but lovely on my skin. Not sure if any good as a primer but does help with some dry patches!
Just to throw in some more budget options...If anyone is after a new concealer I would highly highly recommend the Essence camouflage concealer. It’s £2.30!!! It’s full coverage and honestly I wouldn’t buy anything else now. Essence make up is in Wilkinson’s they have some great lipsticks too
Im looking for a new primer so im about to buy myself this! Thank youIf you have an issue with big pores - Clarins 'Instant Poreless' is the best thing I've ever used and it's only about 20 quid. Has totally transformed how my foundation etc sits/lasts on my face, it's brilliant.
You sound just like meI'm in my early 30s and looking to change 4 products in my make up bag, anyone with similar problems to mine below and can recommend produts that worked for them?
1. Foundation - I've got dry skin with visable pores and fine lines due to eczema
2. Concealer- specifically for bad under eye circles again caused by eczema
3. Mascara - I have extremely thin, short and straight eyelashes
4. Primer - something good for dry skin, visable pores and fine lines
For pores I can highly recommend Benefit Porefessional - a little goes a long way. Foundation wise with dry skin it’s best to stay away from a matte finish.I'm in my early 30s and looking to change 4 products in my make up bag, anyone with similar problems to mine below and can recommend produts that worked for them?
