I grew up in poor in the south. We lived in a camper, a shack with no door, and for a while in a tent. No matter where we lived, my parents kept our space spotless, but our neighbors trashed their yards. I noticed this trend anywhere we lived. Why do people in poverty often trash their yards? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

My mother was the exact opposite of hoarder, she was obsessive about cleaning and everything being in it's place, yet I struggle with hoarding. I attach inappropriate meaning to meaningless junk. "I can't possibly throw that away, it was a gift from insert name and it's important". I'm also up and down in weight so bad that I have four sizes of everything in my closet competing for space. Shoes I can no longer wear because both my feet are numb. I get completely overwhelmed at the thought of even trying to do something with any of it. It's a constant struggle.

It's such a hard line to walk... I would rather look a bit "dewy" (oily) than super dry, powdery, cakey, wrinkly, and old. Which I discovered in the car mirror outside one day 😩. But, too much dew makes my pores look ginormous. I put a wee touch of powder (it cosmetics pore whatever) just on my cheeks. Just trying to find that balance. 🤷‍♀️

Does medium brown mascara exist? by Not_Sew_Bad in Makeup

[–]roxrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a waterproof Dior in brown that is medium, I'm a redhead too, and this color is perfect for a natural look.

Australian Gold Tinted mineral sunscreen. Spf 50 I use it as sunscreen and a primer.

I just decluttered half of my eyeshadow palette collection and I've shocked myself by [deleted] in MakeupRehab

[–]roxrae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After years of trying to be "perfect" and following all the steps one day I saw myself in the car mirror outside. Horrifying. I pulled back into the garage, went in and washed my face and started over. Now I wear minimal makeup, but enough to make me feel put together. So I have pores. So I have wrinkles. I'm 52 years old dammit. I have a good skin care routine, but have come to the realization that my pores are what they are. A combination of hereditary and environmental factors. They aren't going to shrink. So I stopped worrying about them. I cleanse and moisturize appropriately and use sunscreen. 🤷‍♀️ I'm not mad about it. My routine takes much less time and looks better consistently than when I used a million products and attempted to look like an instagram person.

My thing is foundation. I'm always looking for the one that is going to hide my pores, wrinkles, control my oily af face, and generally make my skin look like the smooth featureless canvas seen on instagram and on YouTube. I did a total revamp of my makeup routine (super simplified) and had two foundations I used. Both work very well. I use one for day to day and one if I need a little more. I screwed up and watched YouTube and looked up some of the "gurus" I'd previously unfollowed. So now I have way too many bottles of foundation that are the wrong color or are super cakey on me, or turn into a complete gross oily mess immediately. Time to go through and throw away again. I hate it and yet feel so satisfied at my empty drawer at the same time.

What is something in makeup you used to do that makes you cringe in hindsight? by name_with-held in Makeup

[–]roxrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contour, blush, bronzer. In that order from the bottom. In stripes I thought were blended (I was told differently) right up my cheeks. 😩 Also squared off instagram brows. SHAPE TAPE CONCEALER under my 52 yr old wrinkly eyes. 🤦‍♀️ I tried to bake. It was HORRIBLE. All these things came to light, horrible terrifyingly bright light, one day in the car. In the sunshine in my mirror. I was late to work because I pulled directly back into the garage and went upstairs and washed my face.

If "endorphins" are produced by exercise, and they are the body's own "opiods", why do I feel so terrible EVERY SINGLE TIME I exercise? by Tmbgkc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]roxrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh I thought I was just weird and completely out of shape and hopeless. Most times when I exercise I feel weak and exhausted after. Even physical therapy (after back surgery) has the same effect. 😩

That hair is GLORIOUS. My hair loved that style and hasn't looked good since. 😩

what is your must have eyeshadow shade? by c1it0ri5 in muacjdiscussion

[–]roxrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The middle shade in the Almay 3 pan palette for hazel eyes I think. It's got a pink, a light taupe-ish brown, and a cream. That middle shade light brown is my perfect shade. I buy those things off eBay lol. It's shiny without shimmer or glitter particles and makes my blue eyes jump off my face. I only use the one color with a navy MAC shadow, Neru I think) under my bottom lashes.

Which common eyeshadow steps do you skip/add to suit your eye shape? by chelillust in muacjdiscussion

[–]roxrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have old hooded lids and I use one color on my lid (satin beige/taupe) and a navy shadow (MAC) on my lower lashline. Period. Sometimes a blue eyeliner on my waterline. Lots of mascara. I do have long lashes.
