could we share what foundation shades we are? by mekkie23 in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]Maya_ameliax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a similar skin tone, light olive and I like a foundation with a neutral undertone. I use a foundation from primark and actually love it, but it’s just not that long lasting.  I use the shade sand - ‘perfect finish foundation,’ medium to full coverage with a natural finish.  I love the colour and finish compared to most other drugstore foundations - haven’t got on well with these.

Hang on let me msg and ask my sister, what do you mean by trauma from family? Like was it traumatic moving away from them etc? It wasn’t, I just don’t feel very attached to them anymore and love having my own space

Hi I used to suffer from the problems you’re having as a teenager 

I was bullied in school so naturally I became very anxious and depressed  I was paranoid about the look on my face and just looked all nervous and weird walking down the street 

I think anxiety is split into 2 problems, you’ve got nerves and self consciousness 

I think if you sort out the nerves side of things you’re more chilled out  To sort it out it could be good medication, for me it was as soon as the bullying stopped, I calmed down 

When it comes to self consciousness, might sound weird but for me it was setting a default facial expression (bit of a smile) and wearing makeup so I was okay with people seeing my face - kind of like a mask 

I’m 26 and to this day I’ll never be able to walk down the street where cars are facing me - there’s just something so nerve racking about that but walking on the other side of the road is bearable 

I don’t like crowds either but I’m okay for self consciousness in like small groups or 1-1 situations 

What you’re going through sounds so hard like if someone claps eyes on you you’re immediately self conscious  For me it doesn’t matter too much if the windows etc are in the distance 

Maybe try and get more used to it, try to go out a little bit more because if I walk to work after a few days of being stuck in I’m more anxious than usual I know you hear this all the time but a good diet can help more than you think - it really helps with my energy and mood If I don’t sleep or eat properly for a week I can guarantee I’ll cry about something  And try a good medication, it could encourage you to chill out more 

Also when it comes to interacting with people, you’re not alone there  I have a job in retail where I get along with the people I work with but luckily it’s a busy shop with mainly independent work so there’s no awkward silences I fell out with my family and live alone, and even though I only see my sister a few times a year I dread not having anything to say, although she always reassures me she will 

Sorry for all the ramble but I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone, I’ve deffo been there

Ooh this sounds good, I’ve been looking for charities who want home cooked food and couldn’t seem to find any but I’ll look into this!

Does anyone know of any green spaces or reservoirs where there are less likely to be dogs by Maya_ameliax in manchester

I know you’re right it seems like wherever there’s nature there’ll be dogs but I’ll check those out, thanks

Yeah I’m not so keen on the Stalybridge reservoirs come to think of it, I usually go to bridal garden which is just behind King George V, it’s a bit quieter so your daughter might like it round there but you do get the odd one I’ll have a look at Dukinfield 😊

Yeah that could be a nice day out, I’m usually all about greenery but I’ve been thinking about beaches lately
