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 ā¹ļø 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. š„“ 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.š„² 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. š 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 š„“ 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 š Basically, I need a recommendation for fixing the yellow color, and some help with the technique.
