I can&#8217;t buy new concealer, or skin care.<\/p>\n<p>Yes I know I have deep eyes and that putting concealer closer to my eye will make it look better, I&#8217;ve tried it and I hate the way it looks. I can&#8217;t use a light mask because I&#8217;m so pale. Yes I need a color corrector and No, it&#8217;s not just my skin texture or facial hair, I don&#8217;t have any. I&#8217;m not bragging, just getting it out of the way before someone says it&#8217;s fixed.<\/p>\n<p>First photo: after a few hours of wear without skin prep day.<\/p>\n<p>Second photo: after like (maybe) 6 hours of wear on a skin prep day.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Three: just a few hours of wear with skin prep, and it started to fade!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found the *PERFECT* match concealer but I can&#8217;t stop it from splitting, creasing, fading after a few hours and looking cakey.<\/p>\n<p>It keeps separating, looking cakey, creasing, doesn&#8217;t cover my dark circles, and fades badly after a few hours \u2639\ufe0f I&#8217;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&#8217;s so hot lol) I let my mask dry, the Q-Tip method, a little powder- EVERYTHING! <\/p>\n<p>I think it might be my powder, covergirl clean? It&#8217;s not very finely milled. \ud83e\udd74 it&#8217;s not pretty, but it works and it&#8217;s only 6 dollars. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve started using a small brush to put it under the eyes which has helped but now that I&#8217;m ditching the doli I&#8217;m going to save a lot on my favorite powder and only use it on my under eyes.\ud83e\udd72<\/p>\n<p>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<\/p>\n<p>Before this I was using the elf hydrating camo concealer, nothing I&#8217;ve tried since has come close. <\/p>\n<p>Then I tried the REM concealer. I loved the coverage it gave, I couldn&#8217;t (kinda) get away without a color corrector, but the REM really messed up my skin because I kept using it knowing I wasn&#8217;t allergic to it. \ud83d\ude05 I found the shade too pink for me, and I wasn&#8217;t a fan of the formula as it&#8217;s pot and matte, preferring a dewy finish.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed that my concealer separates very little when I prep the skin the night before. But it still breaks out badly, doesn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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 \ud83e\udd74<\/p>\n<p>Ngl I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>So the brands I can still buy from I put a &#8216;*&#8217; next to them.<\/p>\n<p>My current schedule is:<\/p>\n<p>Apply rice flour 1x a week<\/p>\n<p>Washing the face<\/p>\n<p>Toner<\/p>\n<p>Cetaphil Moisturizing lotion<\/p>\n<p>Fenty contour stick (amber)<\/p>\n<p>Color corrector<\/p>\n<p>*About concealer (F1 Neutral)<\/p>\n<p>Elf multi stick (shiny guava)<\/p>\n<p>Elf liquid highlighter wand<\/p>\n<p>Elf prime and set pressed powder\/*Covergirl cleans new loose powder<\/p>\n<p>*Wet N Wild blush (Forgot the shade sorry)<\/p>\n<p>*Colourpop pressed highlighter (cold)<\/p>\n<p>NYX Grey-Brown Eyeshadow I got at the dollar tree (as a powder contour)<\/p>\n<p>Various Eyeshadows<\/p>\n<p>*Wet N Wild waterproof mascara<\/p>\n<p>Elf Dewy Setting Spray\/ *About setting mist<\/p>\n<p>Sorry for all the paragraphs, I&#8217;m trying to give as much information as possible if anyone knows what to do \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n<p>Basically, I need a recommendation for fixing the yellow color, and some help with the technique.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->    Posted by \/u\/Cute-Finish1748  <br \/> <span><\/span>    &#032; <span>[comments]<\/span> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I need help before my prom on SATURDAY (in 6 days!)
