Paging @Midmod

I didn't want this to get lost in the shuffle of your eye cream/concealer thread but I had a moment of inspiration....genius.

My waking/awake mind is a bit slow but when I sleep My unconscious mind takes over and solves all of life's problems and I woke out of my deep sleep, mumbling 3 words .....wait for it.....

M. Asam Perfect Teint

I use this most everyday on my eye crinkles in particular and I don't know why I didn't think to tell you about it in the thread yesterday (I'm getting old and forgot) .Watch the video on HSN, where it's sold....it really works well.

Anyway, after I'm done with my makeup (over my tinted sunblock and over or under powder) I'll tap just the tiniest amt on my crinkles and it softens the look of them like nothing else....

Anyway, it works so well for me I just felt I was going to burst until I shared it with you (long story short)haha....

Also, it's not like a "glue" type of product that cracks when you smile that is popular these days.....it feels like a super thick primer type of product, that's silky and mattifies (?sp) and fills in gaps....not drying at all...

Watch, after all this rigmarole (?sp) you're probably going to say you have it and hate it! hahaha

@monicakm HaHaHa, I know.....was it a little much? When I start writing, mam oh man can I get on a roll and need to learn to pump the brakes!

I just use and love this product so much for my crinkles and forgot to mention it on a previous thread. I buy on HSN and a jar lasts forever. You can use all over before or after makeup, I prefer after....just a pat. Experiment....

It's funny that you say you've invented things in your sleep because I have too! So many missed opportunities!haha

I tell you, I'm a genius when I'm unconscious...haha

@monicakm

Sorry to hear about that medication messing with your sleep! That's tough because sleep is so important.

I've always been one who really needs to sleep on any decision because truly my sleeping mind does seem to figure out what's best. Kinda like during my waking hours all the pieces are scattered but when I sleep they all become neatly stacked ....kinda like neatly stacked Tetris blocks (if you're familiar with that old video game.)

Funny, I've heard other people describe dreams where they can fly and it sounds fabulous...I wish I had that dream. Quite the contrary the last dream I had was of me and hubby having a car crash and teetering on the edge of a cliff before going over! It was terrifying! eeek! I don't usually have scary dreams but that was a doosie....

Sorry I didn't post earlier. I worked ot today and am tired. I will reread all the postse. Thank you GingerHead and all who posted! I'm going to try that in the AM. I did try the Mac prep+ prime but I might have uses too much because it was really tacky and grab-y.
I have the M.Asam. I never used it much for my face because it seemed to cause to skin disturbances but I'm willing to try it again this way. Ty all😁

Hey @Midmod haha I just had to tell you!

Previously when I mentioned trying a thicker primer, I was trying to think of one to suggest and couldn't think of one at the time even though I use this one multiple times a week.

This is the best thicker primer that I've found for that purpose.

*I just put the tiniest bit on my finger and pat on my crinkles after my makeup is done (on top of your concealer) and it just does a really good job of softening them. Experiment, you may like to do before and after makeup (concealer), etc...

Hope it works for you!

Hi @GingerHead
I did it this morning. I couldn't tell much difference BUT I think was the issue was is that I was ALSO experimenting with eye shadow primers at the same time. When it's 5 am when i am doing my makeup, I don't always remember what's what. Like not to experiment with two different products at the same time 🤪.
I tried my Mac prep+prime under one eye and the BM original face primer under the other. So that might have been why I couldn't tell much.
But at least I can review those two! For anyone looking for that to help set & hold concealer.....the BM does a pretty nice job. The Mac, not so much.
Ok,.....deep breath * note to self: nothing except M.Asam tomorrow*
😁

At 5am I'd be lucky if I remembered to put pants on, so you're doing better than me!

Well dang, I hope it works for you....maybe it doesn't look as good over concealer as it does over my tinted sunblock.

Let me know how it goes tomorrow.

If it doesn't work....I tried!

Just tryin' to help a sister out...one makeup tip at a time! haha
