Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish Color Corrector Deep I have dark eye circles really bad, have for as long as I can remember. What shade of color corrector do I need?

heartsmyface · ‎10-31-2020

@collea What’s your skin tone and what color do your undereye circles look? (Purple, blue or green?)

collea · ‎10-31-2020

there more like a purple color and I'm on the pale side. Not to pale though.

heartsmyface · ‎11-01-2020

@collea I see both purple and blue in your undereye area which requires a peach shade to correct. I would go with the fair-pink (which is actually peach) Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish Color Corrector Fair

Hi - I'm 52, fair skinned, not too many wrinkles, combination skin and looking to have coverage to even out my skin tone and blemishes. I used to use heavy compact powder but have been trying a light liquid base (makeup forever ultra HD R210) with laura m translucent powder, nars (radiant creamy concealer light 2) for extra coverup. It seems ok at first, but as the day wears on, it doesn't look as good. Should I be using a powder set (I think I have an urban decay version)? Primer always seems too thick or heavy. Or should I be doing something entirely different? Thank you!!!

Hi!

I just bought Nars Blush in deep throat. Im a little nervous to try it because I broke out terribly from Mac blushes. I had terrible acne across my cheeks that took literally months to go away. Since then I've been using Milani but thought now I'd try something that would last throughout the day. Im wondering if anybody broke out from this and if Nars is less toxic and harsh than Mac?

merry9999 · ‎10-30-2020

I have been using Nars blush for years and adore it. I have sensitive skin and have never broken out from it and it lasts a very long time. I usually use Deep Throat and Sin. I think you will love it!

I need help choosing a shade with the Tom Ford - Traceless Soft Matte Foundation. It says 5.6 Ivory Beige and I have neutral or warm undertones. Is this the right shade? I've tried the shade finder but it's broken when you try to see the results based on other foundations you can match up to. I've tried it on the app and on my browser on a computer.

Thanks!

help! I have rosacea (self diagnosed). Moisturizer irritates my skin turning it beet red and break outs. Now that I’m getting older (52) I need a little moisture. I’ve tried so many products. Suggestions please

heartsmyface · ‎10-30-2020

@rschimmel I would check out the Dr Jart Tiger Grass Line. It’s made specifically for sensitive red skin and is both soothing and helps create a skin barrier to protect it from further stressors;). Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Cream

Also, You’re self diagnosed but it can be very beneficial to see a dermatologist to get a prescription for rosacea so it doesn’t get worse. The earlier you treat it the easier it is to manage;)

Hi there! Just wondering what everyone would suggest for a lightweight/sweat proof medium coverage foundation for a person in their 50's. I don't like to wear a lot of make-up anymore, but still want to look somewhat put together, and we have our daughter's wedding in July of next year, and this mama, doesn't want her face melting down her face.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks!
