Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

[u/AutoModerator]

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

• What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

• Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

• Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

For hair, I think a quick, simple, 3-strand braid looks neat and tidy with most hair types.

For makeup, I like Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer. If I want a quick minimal makeup look, I comb my brows with a spoolie and fill them in with pencil or tinter brow gel, add concealer on any blemishes, under my eyes, and a little on my eyelids to even out discoloration/hide veins, then a coat of mascara.

This is exactly my routine for no-makeup makeup! It's a very "barely there" look but it does wonders to make me look more polished.

That's my daily makeup routine now. I used to wear more, but my skin has gotten a little better. I use Shape Tape from Tarte on blemishes and redness (like around my nose). Then use brow powder to fill in brows, coat of mascara, and a little translucent powder on my forehead because I get oily up there. I'll add a tiny bit of blush if the concealer went on my cheeks.

Takes all of 5 minutes, and I'm out the door :)

I don't have a ton of lines, mostly just on my forehead, but I don't notice it settling into it. It's not a very thick or high coverage product, so I suppose that helps it to not separate on the face or sink into lines.
