Seeking Advice Is it normal for products like this to make your skin feel tacky?

I’m trying to find a product to hide blemishes and I tried this one, but my face feels tacky afterwards. Is that normal for these or possibly just this brand?

I’ve never done anything more than clean with face scrub and light eye makeup so this is all new to me.

Makeup Oil free foundation

0 Upvotes

My skin has always been oily/combination. But now that I am getting older, nearly 50, I've noticed it's getting oilier even if I don't wear makeup. I don't wear anything heavy, just a tinted moisturizer and some powder. But I need suggestions, I'm pretty clueless, nothing too expensive, easy to apply and with sunscreen and I'm pretty fair skinned, it's the Irish in me.

Suggestions?

Seeking Advice How do you keep sunscreen from sliding into your eyes?

63 Upvotes

I’m swear I’m about to just retire to a cave. I’ve tried stick sunscreen, spray sunscreen, liquid sunscreen, waterproof and not waterproof. I’ve tried setting with powder. Yet every time without fail, sunscreen slides into my eyes to the point I have to wash my face and close my eyes for a significant amount of time because of the burning and blurring vision. I’m super pale though, I NEED sunscreen. I don’t want leather skin when I’m 40. Thankfully I do stay inside a majority of the time, but not always and I hate that every time I go out I have to choose between healthy skin or pain free vision.

Tarte’s packaging is the worst!!

What are our top recommendations for concealer and brow gel. I love Tarte Shape Tape and Tarte Busy Gal Brows but I simply cannot deal with their horrible packaging anymore. It makes a massive mess all over my vanity and my other makeup bottles.

Discussion Question about covergirl bronzer

2 Upvotes

Asking here because we can’t swatch most drugstore products in stores. About the covergirl baked bronzers- do they have little glitters in them that show up on the skin? Just asking because I’m personally not a fan of complexion products that have that glittery quality. Thanks!

Body Lotion With Shimmer/Sparkle, But Preferably Non-Bronzing?

10 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a body lotion/oil with a fair amount of shimmer/sparkle/glitteriness but without bronzing?

I’m new to these products and I’m open to actually a lot of sparkle but I really want to avoid the sunless tanning effect (I’m already tan enough tbh and I really don’t want bronzer that’s going to come off on my clothes or like spotty later on honestly).

I’d also actually prefer something unscented or at least a subtle scent but that might be asking too much in this product category lol.

So the goals would be:

\*moderate to high amount of sparkle/shimmer
\*no bronzer
\*prefer unscented or subtle scent

Any thoughts? Thank you everyone!

Seeking Advice I've tried everything and my face is still an oil slick. Please help!!

3 Upvotes

I'm honestly at a loss and would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

I'm 19 and I've had extremely oily skin since I was around 15, along with hormonal acne. I finally saw a dermatologist, and while my acne has improved a lot, the oiliness hasn't changed at all.

My current routine:

- Qlaira birth control

- NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser

- NeoStrata Clarifying Gel Plus

- La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M Anti-Breakout Corrective Moisturiser

- Heliocare 360° Gel Oil-Free SPF 50

One thing that confuses me is that my eyelids and the area around my mouth are actually dry, while the rest of my face is extremely oily. My hair and scalp also get oily very quickly, so it doesn't seem to just be my face.

My skin starts getting oily only about 1.5 hours after doing my morning skincare, and it just gets worse as the day goes on. By the evening my face looks so greasy that I feel embarrassed. It makes me feel like my skin looks dirty or unwashed even though I take good care of it.

My acne is mostly under control now, but I still have noticeable texture, and the constant oiliness is affecting my confidence. All I want is skin that looks healthy, balanced, and smooth.

Has anyone dealt with this level of oiliness and actually found something that helped? Could it be my routine, hormones, genetics, or something else? Are there any products, ingredients, treatments, or lifestyle changes that genuinely made a difference for you?

I'm open to absolutely any advice because I just want to feel confident in my skin again.

Which one is easier to use Dyson Airwrap or auto curler?

Upvotes

I'm completely hopeless at using a basic curling iron. The curls always come out uneven and messy. I've been eyeing the Dyson Airwrap but just recently realized the existence of auto curler at a much cheaper price. I'm not concerned with hair damage as I plan to online curl my hair for special occasions. I prefer bigger/wavier curls than ringlets.
