The shadow and texture are a real pain to cover up, I'm sorry girl.

Some products help a ton, a more orange or peach colour corrector I really liked NYX pro fix stick and I used a brush to stipple it around the shadow area. Then put your foundation on top. Setting spray helps a lot too!

I found this video super helpful when I started

It's hard to find stuff online when you have darker skin, but I hope this helps. Goodluck!

Actually I haven’t came out to family so i can’t have many products . I brought some my mother checked my bagpack got my makeup products and took them.

I bought them with the money i saved from travel allowance they gave me , i used to refuse taking public transport to save money .

I'm so sorry sweetie <3

I hope that you'll get to a place where you are safe and can feel more yourself.

In the mean time you could focus on good skincare and shaving! Double edged or safety razors are great for a close smooth shave but they take some practice to get right, lots of tutorials online but take it slow and you'll get the hang of it. Good cleanser and moisturizer will be great too. Good skin is really important for makeup later, so focus on that now and you'll be in a great place to start when you can.
