How do you go about modernizing your makeup/personal appearance in this day and age?
There’s obviously been a huge increase in beauty standards lately. I’ve always been insecure about how I look and have done a lot of inner work on that, but I know there are real, effective things people do to get to their best self. What have you done that made a genuine difference?
Skin: I have patchy, red skin and lean on makeup to cover it, which apparently reads as “too much.” I’ve spent a lot of time and money trying to manage the redness itself, not just cover it. If you dealt with anything similar what actually worked long term, and what was a waste of money?
Makeup: I just did a color match at MAC and it’s clearly too green undertone for me. what foundation or concealer helps without looking cakey?
Eyebrows: I was a 2010 over plucker snd have had them microbladed but they are incredibly un even and do not suit my face. They are bleach blonde naturally and very bushy so I do minor upkeep with dying them weekly and cleaning up some strays but otherwise try and not touch them anymore.
I caught my reverse reflection on a Teams call recently and it was slightly horrifying. Seeing my face the way everyone else actually sees it made me realize how much I’d been ignoring.
I get Dysport every few months and have had to shorten the intervals as I’ve gotten into my 30s, not sure if that’s relevant.
Basically I want my whole look, skin, brows, makeup, to feel like a well put together, neutral version of myself. Not chasing trends, just want something that works. Appreciate any real experience!
