I really notice the change in your skin since your started going to the derm. You look glowing and I don't notice pigmentation like before! Wow! Amazing results really! You don't even need foundation in my humble opinion.

😭😭😭 Thank you so much! Honestly going to a derm changed my life. Most days I don't wear foundation and when I do, it's the smallest amount 😩🙌🏼

[@MartinaMcDonagh]

Totally fabulous, you're so right about lightening the makeup look when you are tired (especially around the eyes). As I have oilier skin, I tend to avoid the glow. But you are so right about going easy on the powder when looking tired (or like a zombie) !! I'm definitely going to follow your tips.. Thanks.. (-:

[@toobaisrar3339]

Couldn't agree more. Makeup is therapeutic!

[@candi6642]

Depends on the type of feeling like sh*t, lol. I'm severely chronically ill, and while I LOVE doing glam looks with lots of color and being creative, most days I just plain don't have the energy, or the hours it would take me if trying to have an outing. So I'm trying to get better at this style of makeup, even though it's not really my favorite to do or wear unless I'm going to the pool. Just a spoons thing.

[@Cathlynn23]

@@candi6642 feel this on so many levels! Chronic illness is no joke. Especially the lack of energy. Most days I'm even too tired to put on mascara although I love the look of more glam, eyeshadow etc. (and I have to say if I have the time and energy to do it once in a blue moon, it really does help brighten my day). Can't believe I did a full face every. single. day. (and sometimes even curled or straightened my hair too) before I got sick 😅

[@mariteconta]

This is really helpfull, you made me feel inspired not to compulsive play videogames when Im stressed and who knows do some art on myself. Doing a full glam with the biggest eye is a challenge tho cause I have no skills lol

[@candi6642]

@@Cathlynn23 Sorry, I just saw your reply! I'm sorry that you're dealing with it too. It has been lifelong for me, so I don't really have a "before I got sick" time, but it has also progressed over time, so I do get what you mean. I actually didn't learn how to really do makeup right until after I was mostly bedridden with CRPS and forced to slow down. Picked it up as a hobby, but I do love it when I'm able to do the full glam thing, it definitely can be a pick me up! I never could go go go every day, but on the "good days" I would do makeup, and do hair. I still sometimes blow out and straighten my hair, but it's gotten super thin and is pretty short right now, which I don't love, but makes it easier. Still usually just air dry if I'm just hanging out at home. It used to be long and thick, much more challenging, but I was more able to do it back then too. The struggle is real! 🤗
