I put this in the women and girls section but I'm sure some men and boys use this too - feel free to post guys :)
Anyways, today I put on some makeup and it was hell! I couldn't stand it for long and had to wash it off as quickly as I could - even now my skin still feels really strange. Guess it'll be like that a while now.
I've never been able to tolerate makeup but thought I'd give it a try today just to see if that's changed. It hadn't :)
Is anyone else like this?
Hi Luna.
I do wear some make-up but only when I go out.
So, if I'm going to something where I'll be with other people, like a restaurant, or a family get-together, I wear a very light amount of foundation (L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation) and Revlon Colorstay face powder on top.
These are just on my cheeks and nose - I ignore my chin and forehead
With regard to the foundation, it can't be thick or I'll be really aware of it. I brush it in thoroughly.
I have to paint my eyebrows with a pencil as they are blonde and I look a bit odd otherwise.
I can't wear ordinary lipstick as I'm aware of it and tend to just bite it off.
I wear L'Oreal Infallible 24 hr lipstick which paints your lips and you don't tend to 'feel' it.
All the best if you decide to try again.
I'm glad you wear makeup, sounds like it makes you a positive good difference for you :)
Today was just random for me, I suddenly thought hey why don't I give it a try. I've been feeling a bit rundown and my skin is so white so I thought some makeup might make me shine and feel a bit better, which it did but sadly it was too irritating for me to keep on :/
I'm not sure if you are the same but I struggle to apply it. I know I'm 27 now but my hands shake and I struggle to get it on properly and make it look good.
Maybe it just isn't for me.
Thanks for replying and sharing your own experience regarding it.
