Tried new products i bought today and im really struggling with making my bronzer look less muddy, but also snatched🫠 I usually use a loose powder to define it but i think its the bronzer
Bronzers:
elf camo liquid bronzer shade 4
too faced chocolate soleil bronzer (idk shade, medium??)
I can’t tell if this looks good or too much. I have long-ish but sparse lashes. I’ve been trying to find a mascara that doesn’t smudge under my eyes throughout the day. Idk i feel like i’ve done something wrong 😭
L’oréal panorama waterproof mascara
Does my hair look overly shiny? I used “glaze” and i put heatless curl socks in last night and i feel like it looks pretty good 😁 Btw i hadn’t brushed it out properly so ignore the bottom bits haha
Im new to studio so please explain in dummy terms lol. The “base” is made up of many parts as you can see but i only fall through next to the cylinder thing where my avatar is
I used niacinimide and it got rid of my acne mostly which is amazing! I’m now starting to use azealic acid but i’m wondering if my current routine is too harsh on my skin? For reference i’d start by using it twice a week.
Day:
Gentle cleanser
Salicylic acid
Moisturiser
Night:
Gentle cleanser
Niacinimide
Azealic acid (only twice a week)
Moisturiser
I’ve been using salicylic acid since i was 15, it worked amazing and stopped my pimples. I got bad acne around a year ago and niacinimide cleared it. Now i’m left with these leftover red marks. I’d hope to still be able to use these 2 with azealic acid
I love a soft, natural glam looking kind of vibe without putting too much effort in. Does my face suit my brows or should i do them a different shape? Blush colour, lip colour recommendations?
I used to cake my face in makeup but my frontal lobe is developing and i cannot be bothered to do that everyday 🤣

elf soft glam concealer & huda beauty faux filter concealer

I feel like my setup looks quite boring and i want a new piercing i just don’t know what. Big no to daiths. Idk what i have the anatomy for but my ears stick out a lot and mine and my mums ear cartilage is quite thick.
This has been ongoing for like a week and a half. It happens anywhere on my body. I’m not allergic to anything at all, i’ve not used anything new (laundry detergent, gels, shampoo, lotions). It’s quite itchy and hot to the touch. It dies down after a while but re appears someplace else. Also it’s not a heat rash as it’s cold here and i’ve not been hot or sweating
the only new things are medications. I went on lexapro almost 2 months ago. I went on evra contraception around 8 weeks ago.
I suffered from severe depression and social anxiety and lexapro has saved me! I was worried no SSRI’s would make a difference as i have been on a few and they weren’t for me. I truly feel like i am starting to get the real me back (I never knew what she looked like) and I feel positive about life. All this is so new to me and I can’t wait for what the future holds. I’m now going to go onto study psychology at university soon!
I was excessively drinking to avoid the pain, hardly sleeping, doing drugs, in toxic friendships. I have put so much effort to make myself better and I finally feel like I am getting somewhere! It does get better and anything is possible. My journey is not over yet and I am still actively working on myself everyday but i’m just so happy i made this choice!
Ive been dealing with what seems to be hormonal “acne” for about a year now. It showed up out of the blue a year after i stopped my combined pill. I am now back on contraception (evra patch) and i’m really hoping my skin clears.
These spots feel deep under my skin, they get sore to touch and rub serums or moisturisers on. They aren’t severe but they are prominent. They NEVER come to heads either basically nodules.
Has anyone had experience with combined pill/patch clearing their acne? Ive only been on the patch a month but I understand i should wait 3 months but im considering asking my doctor for some advice so i thought id ask on here first. TIA
I have nodular ‘acne’ that is most likely driven by a hormonal imbalance. I did some research and looked into combined contraception. Has this worked for anyone? It leaves scarring but i wouldn’t consider it acne. It just looks worse because of the scarring. It’s more like breakouts but they never ever come to a head. Has anyone gone through this? Or has contraception helped acne?
has anyone gained weight on lexapro? i’m in good shape and im very anxious incase i gain weight. my metabolism is pretty fast if that makes a difference
TIA
This is taking me a lot of guts to post this online because i would be admitting it to myself too.
I’m 19 years old. I do uni work online and i’m scared of progressing in my life. I have no job, i have friends but none to hang out with. My social anxiety is stopping me from moving on with my life and making progress.
I’m scared to walk next to a road, go out on dates with my boyfriend, walk in my town, go into shops by myself. It’s too much i can’t take it, why can’t i just function like a normal human being
I want to become a nurse, help people, put a smile on their face. But that requires social interaction and that’s so hard for me.
I don’t know exactly what i’m looking for but i hope someone can give me some advice. There is truly a lot more that i could say about how my social anxiety debilitates me but i could be here for days.
Hi everyone, I have social anxiety and it is actively stopping me from progressing with my life.
On that note, i was prescribed lexapro. I have bpd too so hopefully it should help in some sort of way, not just for anxiety.
Has anyone had good experiences with lexapro and general anxiety or social anxiety? I just started today and I am terrified that it won’t help. I’ve tried 3 other anti depressants and they just didn’t work for me at all, almost robotic. I really really hope this works for me.
TIA
Hi all, i started my first evra patch on the 27th of june (saturday) and its now 1 week later. The top corners have peeled a lot (i am due to change it in the morning). It’s on my back so i haven’t touched it or peeled it myself. Am i still protected?? The middle hasn’t peeled off but im just worried since maybe my body isn’t getting the “full effect” from the whole thing not ENTIRELY being on. I recently went through an abortion so i have a lot of anxiety about if im protected or not.
Hi all, I recently just started the evra patch a few days ago on saturday and i am a huge hypochondriac unfortunately lol. I just wanted some people to possibly give their experiences/side effects within the first week. It’s only been a few days but i have not felt anything (I had quick side effects on rigevidon). I’m also worried about the increased blot clot risk even though my doctor said it would be okay. I’m only 19 but i do vape (i’ve tried to quit!!) but absolutely no blood clot history in my family. As far as i am aware the clot risk is slightly higher for the patch.
Just to make it clear i am on the patch as i’ve heard it does help peoples skin and i do suffer with sore hormonal breakouts/acne as well as slight hair growth on my chin area. This all started at the same time around a year later i had stopped rigevidon (This was never a problem before!) I do suspect i have more androgens and im hoping the patch helps my hormones balance out. I’m not as educated on hormones or anything so im hoping someone can help a gal out 🙏🏼
Any experiences is greatly appreciated, thanks :)
hello! i was recently prescribed the Evra patch just because i don’t want to have to take a pill everyday and it just seemed like a great option.
The main reason why i wanted to go on it was for possible PCOS (and obviously for the main reason). It is quite mild but the hair thinning, constant sore hormonal breakouts and the random chin hairs are debilitating to me. I’ve been on rigevidon before and it wasn’t that bad it just made me angry and a bit depressed but i was already depressed so idk.
I’m worried about a few things:
If my hormones will balance out
If my skin clears
If i gain weight
If it makes me sick
If it irritates my skin
Any advice or past experiences would be much appreciated!!
hello, i was speaking to my mum and think that there is a possibility of being slightly lactose intolerant but it isn’t that bad.
I’ve noticed i am usually constipated and can not go to the toilet for 3 days sometimes (it is mostly this). Then other times it’s completely the opposite way around without giving gross details lmao. I could eat one thing with dairy in it and it could either go one of those 2 ways randomly. I could then next week eat a lot of dairy and again, it could go either of the 2 ways. It really feels like it’s “randomised”
If anyone has any advice or anything before i book a doctors appointment and wait a month for it that would be great! I just can’t be bothered to wait and leave the doctors office with nothing.
