OPEN FOR QUSTIONS 9/21

[ Edited ]

I have some time for questions for about makeup or skincare. 

 

Ask away!

@Shanus   I would like to know your favorite eye make up remover.  I've used a number of them...  some better than others.   I always  leave the product pressed very gently on my eye for a few seconds,  to start t working. 

Thanks!

@nyc1   I use and like the Lancome Bifacil (the blue one that you shake up). I follow each night with a cleansing oil that removes the rest of eye makeup and what's on my face,too.

@Shanus @Hi, thanks for doing this! What face primer do you recommend? I'm not big into reapplying makeup several times a day. I'm hope to find something that will make my face last a while! Thanks!

@Franklinbell   I'm still a Laura Mercier primer gal. I use the one that says "pure canvas" and it has an additional spf 30. For a really long day, I set it w/ setting spray before foundation and again afterwards.

@Shanus ...I need help for my under eye area.  It's not darkened,  but looks hollow,  so I look exhausted ( which i am)...I really hate it.   This is what I've been using,  and nothing helps....sometimes hyaluronic serum, a rich eye cream, then one or two of the following products...Mac prep n prime,  or Becca eye brightener,  or Cover girl eraser (just a few dabs).   I tried just my foundation, with Becca, sometimes set with It illuminating powder.  Definitely looks better than without anything,  but not good enough to give that refreshed look.  Also, no matter what, always settles into little fine lines...im not wrinkled, thank goodness, but I see the little creases.  I'm considering fillers in that area, but im afraid of bruising even if it's temporary.   Can you suggest anything else for me??   Thank you!!

@Dazlin   Sorry to be the one to bring bad news, but nothing topical takes away hollows under the eyes.

 

Fillers may help, but many docs and technicians don't like to inject fillers there because it can bead up leaving a very signaficant issue that looks worse than the hollows.

@Dazlin   I used her concealer a long time ago and it was too thick for me. Corrector and concealer is best for darkness, but will not help hollows.
