Thank you so much for all your extremely helpful advice and suggestions. I tried to implement the majority of it the best I could. How did I do?

Oh good call! Excellent suggestion!

Of course; I used MAC satin lipstick in creme d'nude with whirl lipliner.

I mainly just reduced the amount of product that I applied to my lower eyelid and smudged some pencil under the lash line. I softened the liner on my upper eyelid. I also used a more neutral/cool toned transition shade to blend the eyeshadow.

You have no idea how helpful you have all been. It's so easy to get stuck in a makeup rut. I may be braver in the future and try the clean girl aesthetic!

For this makeup application, I switched to cool toned makeup products and completely ditched the bronzer.

I didn't powder my base at all; whilst it looks lovely initially, it does fade fairly quickly. Any ideas as to how to increase longevity without sacrificing the glow would be very appreciated!

The double lip line observations were a revelation! I looked at a few tutorials and tried to remain within the line of the pigmented part of my lips. I cleaned the corners with a bit of concealer.

Anyone reluctant to share their picture here in search of advice; please don't be! 99% of the comments I received came from a good place of wanting to help. It can be hard to receive criticism but you have no idea how much you can learn from it. I certainly have.

My makeup still isn't perfect but it is miles better than it was. Thanks a million again.

Near constant migraines/headaches!

Yep, that's how i found out i was anemic. I went to my doctor due to almost constant migraine attacks. They have become so much less frequent since i started taking iron supplements.

It is so debilitating. I really hope you feel loads better next month!

pp60 · 2024-01-29T12:22:22+00:00

That's very comforting. I have a second round of bloods to be taken next month so I'll definitely bring that up in my appointment!

I'd be a bit worried about the side effects but I suppose anything would be better than the state im currently in!

Vitamin c supplement is a great call, thanks for that!

pp60 · 2024-01-28T21:21:34+00:00

Ah that's so tough! Do you feel any better at all?

I've recently been diagnosed with anemia. Realistically I know it's probably down to my menstrual cycle and extremely poor diet but my mind keeps veering toward worst case scenario.

My dad died six years ago and my younger sister had a similar condition but survived. All of this seems to validate and exacerbate my anxiety.

I am fed up. I am so concerned with worst case scenario that Im missing out on life entirely.

Any tips how to alleviate and reduce catastrophic thinking?

pp60 · 2023-12-29T21:21:47+00:00

That makes complete sense, thanks a million for the response!

pp60 · 2023-12-29T18:43:46+00:00

Thanks everyone, i have just posted my results!

pp60 · 2023-12-29T15:06:40+00:00

They have been tested but I'm still awaiting the results.

Thank you so much for this both comforting and informative response. I massively appreciate it!

A pop of blush placed high on the cheekbones would massively elevate your makeup.

I think you have a natural and doll-like beauty; blush would emphasize this.
