    Resolution Mindful Buy 2023

Pretty much any makeup discussion to be had is going on elsewhere (IG, FB, various subreddits), and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. My mindful buy year has gone fairly well. I think I've been happy with most of the...

    Forehead Wrinkles UGGHHHHHHH

    Recent hospital stay left me looking like zombi any tips?

    You could apply blush with a lighter hand, or by picking up some product and taking most of it off on the back or palm of your hand before applying it to the cheeks. Similar with highlighter. I can't help you much in terms of looking for a carry case, unfortunately.

    Retinol burns

    You need to tell them. They will know the best way to help you. And once your skin is fixed, do not go above the percentage of tretinoin you're prescribed.
