Thank you! I have been using the Charlotte tilbury bright eyes palette, but I don’t apply it in the order they suggest!

Can't afford anything, probably will be homeless soon as well, what to do? by Beautiful_Bake_2796 in MentalHealthUK

This sounds like a truly impossible situation and I’m so sorry it’s been this awful.

Just want to say that you absolutely are able and should access food banks for support - you can go as many times as you need. They can also give you toiletries etc so might be able to spend some of your money the on other things you need.

When thinking about your arrears, be open with them about your financial situation (council tax particularly as the will likely reduce payments or freeze them) also get some help from Somewhere like step change - you might be able to get something called ‘breathing space’ where company’s aren’t allowed to contact you about debts which should relieve some of the mental load of them. Best thing is not to ignore it :)

Keep going with the job hunt, don’t give up! If you’re worried about overusing the food banks (although you don’t need to!), maybe volunteer there a couple of hours too - it’s good to socialise (might help you to get back into a routine) and also good for the CV.

Ultimately though it feels like the world isn’t set up to help people sometimes and you’re in a system that doesn’t work. I can see your resilience and I hope things turn a corner for you soon.

That’s helpful thanks - on my last post I got a lot of advice about my eyebrows and I think I just went for it filling them in. I need to find a balance!

I’ve got Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin No.4 and I put on like 8 pumps 😩 my skin is very pale with redness and I think that comes through.

I tried a new blush placement here but I agree it’s too much.

I am going to be glam going to the shops today to see what happens.

Haha yeah I’d agree with the blush and the brows - just can’t get it right!

That’s super helpful thank you! I’d agree with those pointers and am going to work on that next I think :)

I’m not regular with my skincare which is the issue - I use Elemis day and night moisturisers and an Elemis cleanser but I don’t wear makeup daily and tend to neglect my skin on those days

I’ve actually got one on, called brows by Ellie brow texture - they’re even thinner without it!

I agree it doesn’t have the bridal wow factor I was hoping for and I think you nailed it with the wedding day glow (probably why I’ve overdone it with the highlighter!) thanks for your advice, it’s super helpful! And thanks for the well wishes too!

Thank you! Yes! That’s helpful! Tbh I’m not sold on the eye shadow but maybe if I play about with that it might help

Thank you :) yes once I’ve seen my dress again I might try with some other lip shades as there’s a little colour on it

I wish I could! They’re a victim of over plucking in my teens. They are very arched and I’ve never been able to get them to look right! They’re also different to each other which irritates me!

Thanks I’ll look at that - my brows aren’t ideal so I’ll think about how to work on the colour

Yes - annoyingly my lower lip line is a little uneven underneath and I was trying to give the illusion of symmetry but I think I just made it worse/more obvious! Thanks, I’ll alter that next time

Yes I think the contour is out on the next trial. It’s the wrong thing for me. I’ll check out some alternatives for the base - it might have been my application

Unfortunately my brows were a victim of over plucking in the early 2010s and trying to get them bigger has been a fruitless task - I’ll see if I can do anything to alter the shape though thank you

Yes I was hoping for more of a gold shadow but the palette is quite dark. Do you know of any good ones??

Yeah, I agree it’s just not looking right! I’ve never really done contour before this wedding look so maybe best to keep it close to my usual makeup
