Beauty Tips For Body Care
First off, I am not someone who knows a lot about makeup. I've been using the same shitty Bare Minerals for 3 years. Hence why I was at Sephora (don't lecture me). I wear makeup maybe once a month, if that. My boyfriend and I have a big trip coming up next week and he has hinted he was planning on proposing to me.My skin was finally recovering from a break out and I figured it was time to buy some actual foundation. I knew Sephora was known for makeup, so off we went.I am not new to skin care. You may have seen my posts on here before. I am on Spiro which has cleared on 80% of my cysts and acne. Honestly, I don't think my skin looks too shabby. Granted, my forehead is uneven and bumpy, but I've given up on trying new products. 6 dermatologists, countless prescription ointments, 4 rounds of Retin-A, every skin care antibiotic, and I've given up. It's been ten years, as long as I can keep my skin semi-happy, it's cool.I was really nervous to go to Sephora because of my skin issues. I asked for help and she sent a lady over. I told her I was looking for a foundation, I don't wear makeup much, but that I have crappy & sensitive skin and see a dermatologist. I also told her that I have tried liquid foundations and they settle cakey in my skin, so I preferred powder.She immediately takes me to the Clinique counter and pulls out liquid foundation. She put it on half my face and told me to look in the mirror.It. Looked. Awful.Cakey, flaky, awful. I commented and said that it looked cakey and if their was any other kind she would recommend? Maybe a powder? Or a different liquid? Her response:"Any foundation...powder or not...will look like that on your skin because it is very uneven. The texture." And motions to her forehead.And proceeds to take me to the skin care aisle. I knew it was coming. She pulls out some Stridex looking pads and made a motion of swiping it across her forehead and told me that, "It would clear up all the bumps on my forehead." I asked her if it was an AHA or a BHA because my skin doesn't respond very well to BHAs. She didn't know.I know she probably didn't mean it like that. But my fellow SCAers, you know how self conscious we are of our skin. And how hard to is to talk to people about our skin. I left the store crying. All I heard was that my skin sucked too much for makeup. That even though this is the best my skin has been in years, it is too shitty for makeup. I was hoping to bring my confidence up, but it has plummeted down.I don't know where I was going with this, but I know only y'all understand. Thanks, SCA, and clear skin to you all. ✌🏼️
