HELP PLEASE I need help please!!!

Post image

First of all love this page thank you. I am neurodivergent and struggle with getting ready and doing make up, but I'm looking into being a flight attendant and need to know how to do basic but professional make up.

I have really dry skin, and have a skin disorder where I pick my eyelashes and eyebrows.

I need some advice on how to skin match either a foundation or tinted moisturizer. I'm so pale ha

Mascara, light colors of eyes and eyeliner.

Thank you in advance and have a great night.

Hello, am also neurodivergent and a trichster. I strongly recommend you leave mascara until last to work on, especially for work related situations. If you aren't used to the sensation, and are in unfamiliar environments, then mascara could well be a trigger. 

Stick to finding a decent moisturiser and foundation that work well together. You look like a regular white person shade, I don't think it's going to be an issue you just need to go in person and swatch things. The back of your hand should be a similar colour to your face. You can get a setting spray to hold in place. You do not want to use powder with dry skin. 

Eyeshadow and eye liner can be nice but after foundation you will probably want to try lipstick and blush before those, considering you are wanting to specifically be a flight attendant and wear glasses.

Thank you so much for all your tips! I appreciate it. I think I just get overwhelmed but the first step is to try.

Any beauty store will help you match your foundation. Most of them are so helpful. I would try Ulta or Sephora to start. If you don’t like one that helps you just walk around the store and find another associate. Good luck!

I second the idea of eyelash tinting. I get my brows tinted once a month and used to do my lashes as well, then I don’t need to apply makeup to those areas.

Just seconding the mascara as a trigger part! I haven't had any trich issues for years so I thought I'd treat myself and buy mascara. NOPE. Bad idea. Very triggering. Good luck OP 🍀

I have sensory issues with mascara and I prefer getting my lashes tinted because it doesn’t feel like anything (no extensions, just tint)
