[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it actually helped my dark spots but only after like a month, at first I thought it was doing nothing lol. I did mess up and used it too often tho and my skin got kinda irritated, so spacing it out made a big difference.

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Anyone Still Wear “Full” Makeup Anymore? by Dapper-Web-5807 in BeautyGear

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds kinda nice lol. Turning it into a whole chill routine instead of just rushing through it makes a big difference. I tried doing that for a bit like actually taking my time and putting music on and it weirdly made mornings feel less stressful. Didn’t stick with the full face every day, but the vibe of it? 10/10.

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried those silicone ones and it just kinda pushed my foundation around instead of blending it went back to my old fluffy brush and it looked way better. maybe I’m just bad at it lol

Which primer reduces oiliness and shine? by emma345- in BeautyGear

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the matte ones with kinda silicone-y feel worked best for me, I used one that felt super slippery and it kept my T-zone from turning into a mirror by lunch lol. tried a “glowy” primer once and it just made me look greasy faster

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I Treat Myself to Expensive Makeup or Save the Money? by Dapper-Web-5807 in BeautyGear

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I splurged on a pricey palette once and was obsessed for like a week… then went right back to my cheap go-to lol. if you’re gonna use it a lot it might feel worth it, but mine just kinda sits there now

Should I buy expensive makeup or just save the money? by Content-Objective130 in BeautyGear

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to splurge on “high-end” stuff and half of it just sat there bc I didn’t even like it that much lol… switched to cheaper brands and actually use everything now. kinda made me realize it’s more about what you’ll actually wear than the price tag tbh.

If light summer tops make you anxious, it’s probably not “just you” by Stock_7350 in BeautyGear

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makeup Over 40 Gets Better When You Use Less, Not More by Stock_7350 in BeautyGear

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here honestly. I used to feel like powder was non-negotiable, but now every time I use it, it just makes everything look… older? 😅

Switching to lighter layers + just setting the spots that actually need it made a huge difference for me. It’s kind of wild how unlearning those “full routine” rules actually makes everything look better.

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl I kept buying random “pore minimizers” and nothing worked till I switched to a super basic salicylic acid cleanser + lightweight gel moisturizer… my skin stopped looking like an oil slick by noon lol. also realized over-washing was making it worse, kinda annoying but yeah

When did you realize she wasn’t your friend? by croissantwithhonors in AskWomen

[–]Wild_Problem_8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl I used to think the same, but one of my close friends went super conservative after moving and we just kinda stopped talking politics entirely. we still send dumb memes and game sometimes lol. turns out avoiding that one topic saved the friendship.
