Re: MAKEUP QUESTIONS/CONCERNS FOR ME?

@AngelPuppy1   Crazy question, but have you tried 2 different colors of eye pencils, brow shadow or colored gels? It would be a pain, but may solve your issue.

Thank you, Shanus! I'm willing to pay more for good quality makeup. I will try your suggestion for using Jane Iredale.

@AngelPuppy1   Brows: I like to fill in w/ an Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil and then a clear brow gel. I also dye my brows w/ JUST FOR MEN mustache/beard dye...really easy and jsut 5 minutes to wait. The blonde shade is really a dark taupe.

 

Undereyes: At night, I started using a very thin layer, tapped off the back of my hand, of organgic shea butter to seal in my night cream...Avocado Eye Cream (Kiehl's). I've no issues  and in the morning and my underyes are quite moisturized and I need less cream under makeup.

 

Hope this helps.

I have never used an eye cream before I got to bed.  I don't know if I could do this because when I wake up in the morning my eyes are all goopy and yucky as it is.  I will look into the Keihl's cream you mentioned though.

 

As for the brow stuff, using the products you mentioned, that wouldn't solve my problem with the brows being uneven in color though, would it?

 

Thank you, I appreciate it! 


@AngelPuppy1 , I am not a makeup artist nor do I play one on the QVC Beauty forum but I have a remedy for your problem. I, also have a difference in color of my two eyebrows. I use Bobbi Brown "Natural Brow Shaper" in Blonde. It is like a mascara for the brows and has the coverage that is impossible to get with a pencil. Both brows look even and exactly the same. Hope that helps.

 

The only moisturizer/eye cream I can use is the Gel Moisturizer from Clinique. My dermatologist told me sensitive eyes rarely tolerate eye creams so a touch of this fragrance free moisturizer brought up under the eyes is all I need.💐

Thanks for your tips --- I appreciate them.  I have tried so many brow products that I am about ready to chuck them all and just forget it!  However, I will look into the one you suggested!  And also the gel moisturizer from Clinique you mentioned --- is this a specific gel for eyes, or is it an all over face moisturizer???  I just want to know what to look for.  Thanks!  


Dramatically Different Gel Moisturizer ....my doctor told me that eye creams for sensitive eyes are not necessarily going to do much of anything except be a source of

irritation. So I just bring my regular moisturizer up under my eyes @AngelPuppy1 .

 

As far as Shanus's suggestion to buy two different eye color pencils or gels? Wouldn't that just intensify the difference in both brows? You are trying to have uniformity, not a difference in color. With one opaque product, at least the brows match in color. Hope that helps..

Do you mean, use one color on one brow and one color on another?  If so, I went out the other day and purchased a few not real expensive products in like 3 different colors. I have not had time but I plan to see if I can try the different colors out.  Nothing is simple with me!!

Thanks for answering!  I don't know.  I did buy a few different products and colors and I plan to try them out just to see what will happen.  I might end up just chucking them all and forgetting about it!  I'm getting disgusted with it as it should be simple, right?  At least you would think.....

Re: MAKEUP QUESTIONS/CONCERNS FOR ME?

Good morning @AngelPuppy1 . Yes, two or three different colors to try...pencils, eye shadows from a palette, brow powder...whatever you want to try. I can't see any other way to adjust the color so both brows will be similar. Keep in mind with these adjustments, they may not be exactly the same.

@Midmod   I think shea butter is much less messy. You don't much. Less than a dot rubbed between you hands to warm it up and then just pat it over your moisturizer in the dry areas. I stay away from my t zone.

Yes, I don't think I will ever be perfectly matched, but close will be great.
