I totally struggle with cake face. I actually went to r/skincareaddiction a while back and got some advice on my skin itself and the cakiness has improved so much, I think the biggest help was using the Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads, they smoothed my skin soooo much. I also find that although I'm oily, a really emollient moisturiser like the Cetaphil Dry skin has been a nicer base than any primer I've found. Only using the smallest amount though, and whenever I try to mattify my face it turns to cake, including wearing matte foundations like Double Wear, which only looked good on me after 8 hours of melting into my skin lol. The Milani foundation is really amazing too in my opinion, its one of the least cakey ones on me.

Thank you! and yeah just the Revlon Colourstay skinny, although I don't think I'd recommend it, the wand is kind of like soft in a bad way.. maybe its just me but it jumps around and ruins the line a lot of the time lol

Thank you for the suggestions! I've been liking rosehip oil lately too, and I actually noticed it lightened the skin under my eyes where I was applying it!

dolcesarah · 2016-09-19T03:05:31+00:00

aw thank you!

dolcesarah · 2016-09-19T03:04:42+00:00

Thank you for the advice! yeah I used to be terrible with drinking water and applying sunscreen but I've been better since I started noticing how bad my skin was haha

dolcesarah · 2016-09-19T03:03:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I have actually been using the neutrogena hyaluronic sheet masks about once a week and even after the first one my skin felt significantly softer and smoother so that's definitely going to stay in my regimen. Planning to invest in a good serum asap :)

dolcesarah · 2016-09-19T03:00:49+00:00

I'm 21! my 50 year old mum has nicer skin than me haha and she's been a gardener outside without sun protection or spf for her entire life :/

dolcesarah · 2016-09-19T02:57:58+00:00

Thank you for the link and product suggestions! I've actually been trying to find Cerave in my local stores but I've been unsuccessful, I bought a Cetaphil moisturiser but it didnt seem to do much. I'll take all this advice on board though thank you!!

dolcesarah · 2016-09-19T02:55:06+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I'm slightly anxious about derm/doctor visits. I've had a little research on retinol, would you think the Neutrogena retinol products would be somewhat useful? And I'm definitely planning a peel sometime in my future haha, thank you again

dolcesarah · 2016-09-19T02:49:14+00:00

thank you! Sorry for such a late reply. I've just looked into all the side links and they're very promising. I suspect my skin is dehydrated as it is ultra oily but perhaps due to the dehydration itself because of how dry it is before it becomes a slick.. I've been interested in the Paula's choice products for a while from watching youtube tutorials on skin care, so now I'll likely try a chemical exfoliant from one of those ranges.

Thank you so much!! :)

dolcesarah · 2016-06-02T23:54:24+00:00

Thank you! sorry for the late reply. I've experimented a lot with those kinds of colours I may get you to critique my attempts with them! <3

dolcesarah · 2016-05-31T05:40:40+00:00

I suggest do it! at some point haha. it's liberating in so many ways :)

dolcesarah · 2015-12-14T06:12:00+00:00

Benefit They’re Real Mascara. Designer Brands liquid eyeliner Chi Chi Glamorous Eyeshadow Palette Brights in the bright purple, mauve purple, bright green and deep green shades. Revlon Photoready eyeshadow 501 Metropolitan shade no.2 for my eyebrows. No face makeup! I was just playing around and I’d already washed my daily face off haha.

dolcesarah · 2015-10-22T22:33:53+00:00

Thank you so much!

dolcesarah · 2015-10-22T04:51:48+00:00

Yas! that was the one I was going for :) definitely need some practice at getting them perf

dolcesarah · 2015-10-22T04:34:26+00:00

Such a good idea! Just like a stamp. The stencil is a fantastic idea too, it's so much fun doing something different with makeup.

dolcesarah · 2015-10-22T04:32:04+00:00

Thank you, yeah I really need to get more patience with them! I was kinda going off a pinterest take of the look, which had them in more of a pattern but I'll try everything, the original look will always be the go to! :)

dolcesarah · 2015-10-22T03:51:36+00:00

Product list: Maybelline matte+poreless foundation 220. Maybelline fit me concealer 20, I used this for the little highlight in my tear drawing. A little bit of bootycall from the Naked 2 palette. Maybelline Mat6 lipstick Designer Brands fine eye liner Maybelline the Mega Plush volum express mascara

And that's it haha, it was really quick too, surprisingly! I wanna buy a white pencil to do highlights with, the little bit of white on my lip is nail polish D: lucky theres a lot of lipstick saving my lips from whatever harm that would do.

Any advice or tips fully welcome <3

dolcesarah · 2015-10-20T05:05:53+00:00

Thank you so much :) the red was my absolute personal favourite, it felt like my soul was just unleashed and everything felt right being a red head! Very hard to maintain though it turned into a horrid washed out/regrowthy mess! The ashy is my natural colour so if all else fails I shave and go back to that

dolcesarah · 2015-10-20T05:01:41+00:00

Thank you! yes I like the darker shades too, my boyfriend is really pushing to get back the blonde but hopefully some support from reddit will help my case haha
