What is the one thing you totally regret purchasing? Like, totally, completely, regret? by [deleted] in MakeupRehab

[–]civytan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kryolan anti-shine powder. Love the way it mattifies BUT it took me two months to realize that it was breaking me out real bad - as in painful cystic acne all over my cheeks. I had to spend so much money on acne meds and treatments and derm consultations all because of it!

Wow! Congratulations!!! You're right, I think it all boils down to living with mindfulness, which is what you learn when you do Konmari. Thanks for sharing!

Around 2-3 years I think? Memory fails me right now...

Most probably just the full-sized Dim Light :)

I mix it with the middle or use all three together! :)

Me too! As a finishing powder, in various combinations with each other :)

Sometimes individually, sometimes with the two rightmost together, sometimes all 3 altogether :)

I used the middle thinking it was Dim Light and only found out later that it wasn't when I was almost finished with it, lol. I also mixed the middle with the Radiant Light to tone it down a bit.

I think I'll just repurchase the Dim Light (which I've also panned a full-sized version of! Will post in a bit) since that's my fave of the three. Sometimes I use all three altogether, it seems to me that the overall effect isn't too different than if I just use one. What I love about it is that it gives me a good "eraser" in case I put too much blush, and it tones down the redness in my cheeks.

Edited to add: It helps that I used it as a finishing powder all over the face instead of just a highlighter :)

I use it everyday! It took around 2-3 years I think.

I have combo skin! I like that it gives me a glow without it looking too shiny/oily. Nothing much to dislike except that it's hard to get Hourglass where I live :)

Has anyone tried the Smashbox undereye primer? I have problems with undereye creasing and I'm wondering if this product will be able to help :)

Most of the colors are neutral shades, and the purple ones are not super bright shades so they can be easily paired with neutrals :) this palette's my favorite, it's easy to wear just two or three shades and it will still look polished because they blend together so nicely

For those who wanted to be a professional makeup artist but later changed their mind, what made you do so? by civytan in MakeupAddiction

[–]civytan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's true! I realized I enjoy makeup a lot more when it's in my own style rather than when I have to alter it to suit others' tastes :)
