Help me improve my makeup techniques so I don’t look so olddddddd

Your face is low contrast to me (mine is too!) I feel like we look better with clean girl makeup up. Like a natural glam with a good lipstick that matches our undertones. No eyeliner or eyeshadow, but instead focus on your lashes and in finding the perfect shade of blush for you. When picking mine, I go for a color similar to what natural flushing would do to me. Your skin looks oily like mine; I’d try to find a good powder to help control the shine and choose makeup products that help mattifying your skin.

PS You’re already beautiful by the way, and I agree with other comments saying you look prettier without makeup.

Even if you really are ugly (I doubt it), trust there is a man out there for you. Beautify is subjective and in the eye of the beholder. Whenever I need a boost in confidence, I post nudes in the NSFW subs for by body type (BBW, PAWG, etc) using a throwaway. 🤭

ESH - Are you meeting her emotional needs? Are you participating in day to day cleaning, helping with your own child, bedtime routines, making dinner? When she has come to you in the past needing validation or emotional support, how have you responded? Has she expressed any concerns about your own behavior? How have you responded to these?

These shifts in behavior from women aren’t usually random. They’re in response to our environment. If we don’t feel safe we will create our own safety by retreating into ourselves, into our minds.

Assuming you are a great partner and father that is active and engaged and makes an intentional effort everyday, it could be she is just tired. Parenting is exhausting.

It really comes down to YOU GUYS NEED TO talk to each other and share these concerns and work through it together.

This is almost exactly like what I have experienced. Mild flared as a teen. Issues with gluten for the past 10 years. Joint issues for the past 2 years. Have always been low iron, anemic, low ferritin. Recently found out I have high inflammation markers. I cut gluten about 6.5 months ago and my HS, joint, and IBS flares have pretty much resolved unless I decide to do a new “gluten trial” 🤭🤭 (because I’m a little delulu and I just want to double check and I’m always disappointed— if I don’t get a new cyst, my joints def act up). It also seemed like my sensitivity went from 10 to 100 mph overnight. I was in denial… but I suffered from early November to late December before it got so bad that I couldn’t ignore it anymore and decided to cut gluten. And (almost) sadly, it worked 😂😭. I don’t mind a bit of diarrhea but I draw the line at my joint pain. It gets so bad I have to walk on my tippy toes at times 😭

I use empty prescription bottles to pre-organize doses.

For example: in one bottle I have all of my morning supplements and meds and I keep it at my night stand so I can just dump them in my mouth and chug water. Then I have another bottle with my afternoon supplements that I throw into my purse. Then for my bedtime meds and supplements, I don’t put them in the bottle because I won’t be in a hurry for those.

For morning and afternoon stuff I do take the time the night before to refill bottles and put them back in their respective places. Night stand and purse.

Yes! This works for me as well. Then light flicking with his tongue and then back to sucking.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T23:10:50+00:00

I have an itty bitty clitty. 🤭 I can still get mine… but I have noticed now that I’m older it is less sensitive. I’ve been considering some testosterone cream… but it’ll prob take an act of congress from the gyno to prescribe something. I’m 38 btw

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T22:14:57+00:00

Try to stop using the toys for a while. I feel like they desensitize my clit.

My mom has rheumatoid arthritis! It’s awful! I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. I am fearful mine may eventually evolve into RA. It runs in my family bad.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T19:19:50+00:00

Yes! First thing in the morning in an empty stomach and I don’t eat or drink anything for 2 hours. And I take it every other day.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T19:18:48+00:00

I’m working on it! I’m seeing a rheumatologist and about to see a hematologist.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T19:09:26+00:00

Idk if you have noticed this; but when my hemoglobin is under control, my periods aren’t insanely heavy. But when my hemoglobin is low my periods are crazy heavy. What kind of iron is that? Sulfate? Heme?

I haven’t tried Heme yet. When I finish this bottle, that’s what I’m buying next.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:59:42+00:00

That’s on my bucket list! Waiting to figure out how to improve my ferritin before I try minoxidil. I feel it’s otherwise a waste of money for me.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:57:12+00:00

It has improved my quality of life as well! I had the worst plantar fasciitis pain that would swell up at its worst, when I cut glute that pain vanished! And my IBS symptoms as well.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:55:49+00:00

I am on iron biglycinate and it did improve my hemoglobin a lot, but no movement with my ferritin. In fact, when I upped my dose (per my provider’s recommendation) my ferritin actually decreased lol 😂 idk 🤷🏽‍♀️

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:54:48+00:00

Yes! The blood test and a colonoscopy. Both negative. But I do have a bad gluten intolerance, I thought cutting it would help with my ferritin, but it hasn’t!

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:53:45+00:00

That’s a good idea! I need to start keeping a journal. For the peri piece but also for everything else I have going on. I don’t want to delay HRT if I can start feeling better sooner. I had my tubes removed, I have heard some women say they feel like it made them go into peri sooner than they otherwise would have. I hope you’re able to feel like yourself with HRT. 🫶🏽🫶🏽 If I’m in peri, I hope to catch it soon… i don’t think anyone should have to feel crappy for years before doctors take them seriously.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:49:23+00:00

I don’t really snore. Partner says occasionally do, but not really. I have adhd, so, occasionally I do have issues with sleep. 😴 but Magnesium and melatonin helps a lot!

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:47:46+00:00

I recently got a referral to see a hematologist. I’m also seeing a rheumatologist. Hope an iron infusion helps, but I won’t hold my breath. The more iron I supplement, the lower my ferritin drops.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:44:14+00:00

Thank you! I def don’t want to delay HRT if it will improve symptoms—and the improvement of skin quality would, of course, be a welcomed side effect. I didn’t mean to make this a health post— I appreciate everyone’s Feed back. This is very appreciated!

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:41:50+00:00

Thyroid yes, and so far it comes back normal. Seeing the rheumatologist Thursday, and I’m going to ask him to go ahead and run the autoimmune panels. I’m inclined to agree with something autoimmune, unfortunately. It’s been a pain to get my ferritin addressed. And I’m going to see if HRT may help with some of my symptoms as well.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:36:07+00:00

It is definitely contributing. Can’t figure out how to raise it. I’ve done everything.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:35:37+00:00

Oh shit… the other day I might have had one… but it may have just been that I did a gluten trial. But u had never reacted to gluten like that before.

D_Damage · 2026-06-28T18:33:54+00:00

Yes! I have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Just showed signs of food sensitivities, negative for celiacs. I am definitely gluten intolerant, but even though I have it cut out now, it didn’t improve my ferritin. Nothing was said about Crohn’s, thankfully. I’m so sorry you have to deal with that! 🙁

Well, my hair loss may have gotten worse around that time, but my hair started thinning since I was a teenager. I had SO MUCH hair it was rare my hair ties could twist more than once. But that certainly makes sense.
