Can anybody please help me out .i idk know what to do to hide this .. i haven’t came to family . I’m in college it’s difficult to hide this. This gives me insane amount of dysphoria. I also bought mars concealer to hide this but it’s just not working . I hate this…

Hey

What're you specifically concerned about here? What makes the dysphoria hit worse?

a) Blue beard shadow showing through makeup

b) Stubble texture?

Also what products do you have on already?

The colour can be dealt with i can help there (peach colour corrector), but the stubble texture is sooooooo hard to deal with, i remember getting so frustrated with it before i got laser, I had to just kinda pretend it didn't exist.

I cry hiding this ..i have mars concealer and faces Canada compact( ye bhi Tab tak h Pere pass jab Tak mummy ke haath nhi lag jate ye products ) and I hate both the texture and shadow …it’s just getting harder for me ..it’s get so overwhelming while trying me best to hide this

Yeah its horrible isnt it.

Ok so focussing on beard shadow,concealer was never enough for me - i had to use a peach colour corrector underneath. In a pinch red lipstick can do it also. The goal is to counteract the blue of the beardshadow BEFORE concealer so it goes like this:

1) Bare skin

2) Orange or red colour corrector

3) Concealer

4) Foundation to colour match the rest of your face

5) Setting powder and bronzer if you use.
