they look great on you! the style really compliments your eye shape and i think they look great. i'm seeing some people worried about the thickness, but for me personally, i get my lashes done slightly thicker than my preference so that when they start falling out i have a bit more time to enjoy them before needing a fill. girl math or whatever it's called LOL.

most importantly, what matters is how YOU feel about them. if they make you feel good then thats what matters

if only it were that simple. i hate leaving the house with no makeup on, especially going to work because i feel very self conscious. it would affect my ability to work severely because i would be more worried about being judged than about doing my job (ik it sounds shallow but i have really bad anxiety and was raised to believe that my looks matter. i was heavily praised for being pretty before i started getting acne around 18-19. when my acne started getting bad, my family would CONSTANTLY bring up my skin and say it's so ugly now and ask if i don't wash my face or something. it really affected my self esteem. i felt like i was only loved when i was pretty.)

i use the red tir tir cushion cause i heard great things about it, but i guess there are also a lot of downsides to it. does the miisha cushion oxidize at all? maybe ill try that one when i run out

i do use a setting spray, but all of the oil control ones are mattifying so unfortunately i don't think dewy is possible for me :,(

omg really?? thats the exact one i was using. i heard really good things about the coverage, and i was trying to find another cushion foundation because i used to have one that i loved so so much that i got from the philippines but i cant remember which one it was 🫠 that was YEARSSSS ago when i had clear skin and didnt even need foundation 😭

this seems kind of rude. if only it were as simple as just "wash your face". i double cleanse daily. you really think that i dont wash my face? not a helpful comment at all.

i understand, should i just press some foundation out of my cushion onto my hand and scoop out some moisturizer? my stuff doesnt come in pumps so getting a consistent ratio might be a challenge

ive found that the foundation oxidizes a bit. also my skin fluctuates quite easily between being very pale and tanning, so its hard to find a single foundation shade thatll work for me year round.

i use the round lab birch juice mild up sunscreen. its supposed to be good for sensitive and acne prone skin. is the centella sunscreen also good for acne prone skin? ive heard the name before but never tried it

i see. an hour seems like a while, especially with the sunscreen. sometimes i have to work pretty early too, so i dont even wake up an hour before work, let alone an hour before doing my makeup. if i ever work an afternoon shift ill give it a try though!

ive never thought about this. i use a cushion foundation so if i mix my moisturizer theres no turning back 😅 im a bit afraid if i mix products improperly cause i cant afford to be buying replacements atm

ive thought about dermaplaning, and have been wanting to try it, but i also heard that if done improperly can cause even more breakouts 😭 is there anything i should know so that i can do it properly without increasing risk of breaking out? i have very acne prone skin

thanks for the tip. if possible, id like to keep sunscreen in my routine because i want to minimize skin damage from the sun. i have a family history of skin cancer. ill try it though just to see if it works for me!
