Hi everyone! I may sound desperate...but i’m at the end of my make-up rope, so to speak. I swear, sometimes I envy 2 year olds because I would have loved to have just pitched hissy fit right on the Macy’s floor today in my umpteenth make-up trial/return/money waste...hours and hours of research have done nothing to help...I keep trying! Then I caught some eps of Trix of the Trade and got new hope. Dare I? So two main issues: 1)Uber sensitive skin. i do not use the term ‘sensitive’ loosely. I tried the mineral makeup things nearly a decade ago and was allergic...people kept telling me I was crazy, you can’t be allergic....and now all these articles are coming out about irritants in mineral makeup...no kidding! also, I have a porcelain-fair complexion with COOL undertones, though for years everyone from laypeople from make-up artists kept shoving me toward warm shades...peaches/yellows/etc. ug, I finally just rebelled and went for some cool pinks and berries in lip and cheek color and I lit up/ loved it. It wasn’t until yesterday that a Lancome tech agreed with me(after making me try on 5 different foundations, and settling on the 1st I pointed to--the fairest, coolest--(’Porcelain delicate’.)
victory, until of course, my face was itchy and bumpy and oily/pore-y with a reaction to the ingredients. So, after countless drugstore and ‘higher end’ make-ups, which always result in at least one and usually both results--severe irritation/too orange-y sallow. I am so exhausted and frustrated....I just wanna be pretty...wail.
In my ideal world, I would get that porcelain doll look--flawless fair skin with high pink cheek color and flushed pink/rose/berried lips. For the first time I found out the COLOR was possible (after some protest that my 1st choice was ‘too white’ the lancome artist was thrilled with way the color mayched/balanced my skin as was i)...now if I could just find a formula that din’t itch/burn/swell/turn my skin into pores and orangely nastiness. Are the ingredients in Tricia’s makeup good for sensitive skin? Can I get that fair yet flawless finish? I am fortunate enough to have even-toned skin with only the rare blemish--usually caused by a product reaction. Though I have brown eyes and red hair (which makes the auto-push toward warm) my hair is a cool-toned red (Burgandy vs the lovely ginger/copper shade shown by the young lady in one of Tricia’s vids who was fair skinned but more warm.) All the ladies are beautiful--I’m sorry I forgot the young lady’s name, she was the teen who was shown with the ‘natural’ look and creme blush--love creme blushes!--and loved her look the best.
Sorry for the looong post, but I really need help and am seriously at a complete loss and feel abandoned by the make-up world!
Will the light foundation and colorless powder be okay for my sensitive skin? will it achieve the porcelain look? Which blush colors are best (Prefer creme, if you still have those.)
Thank you for any help/tips/advice!!!!xxoo
