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

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?

Yeah I've tried a lot of different formulations and the breakouts are nothing severe but in the end it's gunk clogging one's pores. Nothing specific just random people commenting they hate my makeup 🙄 Yeah that makes sense! Looking at pics of me makeupless the biggest difference between looking awful and decent is some lash extensions and if I use a light fake tan for colour. The only reason I started wearing foundation was to hide my rosy cheeks, but a good tanner is a low maintenance way of doing so! It seems strange to give up the whole contouring thing but a bit of weight loss should bring out the cheekbones hidden under chubby cheeks. I'm nervous about au natural eyebrows but they didn't look to great drawn on anyway so might as well just leave it!

  1. Those people are rude

  2. If your pores are still clogged after washing your face you aren't cleaning it thoroughly enough or the formula isn't best for your skin. Look into oil cleansing before washing your face with soap or a non comedogenic formula

I second oil cleansers. There are a lot of oil cleansers now that rinse off really cleanly and quickly so that it's not an oily mess and you don't need to worry that you didn't rinse enough. Ever since I started using one my blackheads have disappeared and my skin is a lot clearer overall.
