[Routine Help] [Personal] I am a mess, I need help with both routines and make up

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hello skincare addicts! :) I'm going to present quite a case for you, and I desperately feel like I need help. Here's what you're dealing with:Major Depressive Disorder, which limits the fuck I give about anything. Meaning that it is hard to keep a routine, especially "complicated" ones. I can barely remember to take my medication..Regular smoker. I smoke cigarettes. Shame on me, but I'm not about to quit anytime soon. RIP lungs and skin. I WILL QUIT EVENTUALLY.I have absolutely no idea what I am doing when it comes to caring for my skin. Good luck to all of us.My skin gets dehydrated in the winter, but it is absolutely oily as well. I get pimples regularly, and I have small red dots everywhere on my face. Especially my forehead and chin feels rough.And here comes the real horror: Me wearing makeup. I somehow manage to look worse. I struggle with confidence, and this does not help. When I finally manage to drag my ass outside, I don't ever feel comfortable with my grainy, scaly face.http://imgur.com/a/ILCUG (My insides are screaming. It took a lot to dare to post these.)Routines (lol):I occasionally wash with Garniers Clarifying Cleansing Gel, usually before I wear makeup or when taking a shower (five times a week, at the most)I've recently purchased a new moisturizer. Lancome: Hydra Zen Anti Stress I use it after washing and always before putting on makeup.I use ARTDECO Mineral Powder Foundation as my foundation after applying moisturizer. To apply it, I use a big, round powder brush that looks something like this as recommended by the woman who once had the pleasure of dealing with my eyebrows. It was expensive as fuck.So. I'm obviously looking for both routine products and make up products to suit my skin. I already bought an expensive moisturizer (Lancome), so I can probably buy another in the same price range, but I'm mostly looking for cheaper options if possible.Please help me. Even to just improve it a little.. There's family gatherings in the near future and I'm terrified to feel like a scaled dragon in the face while trying to get through the day.Feel free to ask me any questions.Thanks <3
