I need help before my prom on SATURDAY (in 6 days!) I use concealer instead of foundation, I always have it with me. I can’t buy new concealer, or skin care. Yes I know I have deep eyes and that putting concealer closer to my eye will make it look better, I’ve tried it and I hate the way it looks. I can’t use a light mask because I’m so pale. Yes I need a color corrector and No, it’s not just my skin texture or facial hair, I don’t have any. I’m not bragging, just getting it out of the way before someone says it’s fixed. First photo: after a few hours of wear without skin prep day. Second photo: after like (maybe) 6 hours of wear on a skin prep day. Photo Three: just a few hours of wear with skin prep, and it started to fade! I’ve found the *PERFECT* match concealer but I can’t stop it from splitting, creasing, fading after a few hours and looking cakey. It keeps separating, looking cakey, creasing, doesn’t cover my dark circles, and fades badly after a few hours âšī¸ I’ve tried skin prep, no skin prep, primer, exfoliating, I even bought a toner at the dollar tree! (Which I should have done sooner since it’s so hot lol) I let my mask dry, the Q-Tip method, a little powder- EVERYTHING! I think it might be my powder, covergirl clean? It’s not very finely milled. đĨ´ it’s not pretty, but it works and it’s only 6 dollars. I’ve started using a small brush to put it under the eyes which has helped but now that I’m ditching the doli I’m going to save a lot on my favorite powder and only use it on my under eyes.đĨ˛ For reference I have normal dry sensitive skin. When I say sensitive I mean really sensitive, I even respond to hyaluronic acid! Niacinimide is fine though Before this I was using the elf hydrating camo concealer, nothing I’ve tried since has come close. Then I tried the REM concealer. I loved the coverage it gave, I couldn’t (kinda) get away without a color corrector, but the REM really messed up my skin because I kept using it knowing I wasn’t allergic to it. đ I found the shade too pink for me, and I wasn’t a fan of the formula as it’s pot and matte, preferring a dewy finish. I noticed that my concealer separates very little when I prep the skin the night before. But it still breaks out badly, doesn’t cover my dark circles and looks cakey. What if something goes wrong on prom day and I have to start over with a clean face? That seems to happen every time I have a big event. I also have really bad dark circles, and I need to find a color corrector, but all I can find is orange, and I need a yellow one. Any recs of those that would work with the About Face concealer formula? It needs to be boycott friendly and not cruel đĨ´ Ngl I’ve been using LA Colors concealer in white and mixing in orange and yellow eyeshadow pigments as a temporary color corrector, but it fades so badly throughout the day. Please note that I use up all my products until they run out, so most of the products I currently use I will not be able to buy again because they are not boycott compatible. So the brands I can still buy from I put a ‘*’ next to them. My current schedule is: Apply rice flour 1x a week Washing the face Toner Cetaphil Moisturizing lotion Fenty contour stick (amber) Color corrector *About concealer (F1 Neutral) Elf multi stick (shiny guava) Elf liquid highlighter wand Elf prime and set pressed powder/*Covergirl cleans new loose powder *Wet N Wild blush (Forgot the shade sorry) *Colourpop pressed highlighter (cold) NYX Grey-Brown Eyeshadow I got at the dollar tree (as a powder contour) Various Eyeshadows *Wet N Wild waterproof mascara Elf Dewy Setting Spray/ *About setting mist Sorry for all the paragraphs, I’m trying to give as much information as possible if anyone knows what to do đ Basically, I need a recommendation for fixing the yellow color, and some help with the technique.
