I know this is wildly different from my usual art posts BUT I have wanted to make it for a long, long time, because I love sharing any knowledge that might help someone else. SO...
If you (A) don't want to spend more than 1 minute on your face routine, (B) don't want to completely change what your face structure looks like with makeup to have a consistent skin appearance and/or (C) have cystic/nodal/regular acne that just doesn't go away no matter what people tell you to do,
then I give to you:
My One Single Product 1 Minute Makeup Tutorial For People Who Don't Wear Makeup
In which I bravely show you my face to illustrate
Before and after on one of my "best" skin days:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's very likely this is common knowledge for a lot of people BUT I wish I had known it when I was in my teens and struggling with a severe skin condition I thought would eventually go away and never did.
[TLDR: It's a concealer stick that matches your skin]
No, having a skin condition doesn't mean you need to cover it. However, that doesn't mean it can't still hurt your self image, confidence, and relationships with people who give you unsolicited comments on it (because you want to throw them out the window).
SO HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:
Tumblr media
A concealer stick, my preference being Covergirl's CG Smoothers. They're non-comodogenic and somehow seem to help with my acne, maybe just because covering it helps me not pick at it.
Now, I am the pastiest, whitest shade of white, so I use two shades: "Fair" for my face, which has more of a pink hue, and "Neutralizer" (wheeze) for my neck because it gets even less sun than my face, and is both paler and less pink.
You might be able to get along just fine with one tone if you don't get acne on your neck and chest or have a more even skin tone, but the most important thing is to get the shade that matches your skin tone as close as possible.
To do this, either look in a mirror in the most natural light you can find and hold up your hands and arms until you find a spot that matches your face the closest, then compare the makeup in the store to this. OR.... Just bring a little mirror with you to the store.
STEPS:
Tumblr media
1. Start with a clean face. (Wipe your face with a wet cloth if you haven't washed your face already that day)
Optional step 2. Put on a little moisturizer if your skin dries out and flakes, like mine does. I'm allergic to my cats so I use a medicated cream in place of moisturizer lmao
Tumblr media
3. Swipe the concealer directly onto red spots, scabs, or bumps, and rub it in with your finger making a soft halo that blends in with the rest of your skin.
...and that's it.
Tumblr media
You don't have to do your whole face. You're only adjusting the parts that stands out so they blend in and leaving the rest alone. Some days I cover a few spots, other days it feels like my whole face.
It can't always completely everything, but it makes everything much less noticeable. The shape of scabs may still be there:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It won't cover freshly bleeding wounds well, either... But it will cover the red skin around it:
Tumblr media
Like with any makeup, always remove it before you go to bed!!! With makeup remover or a cleanser! Cheap, unscented makeup wipes work great for me.
So yeah, I'm 30 and only just now started finally seeing improvement in my own skin because I did my own research and asked a doctor to try treatments for hormonal acne instead of all the antibiotic approaches, meaning I'm on spironolactone and thus also a mandatory birth control. But hey! It's something.
Having control over how my face looks helps my confidence and self image, like controlling how my hair or clothes look. I don't feel like I have to wear it any more than I don't have to wear my hair short, I just like it that way.
I also hope that this might be able to help guys too, or anyone else who feels like they're not "allowed" to wear makeup but still struggle with the look of their own skin, since the lack of any other product means you really don't look like you're "wearing makeup".
Anyway, long post over, time to flee 🏃‍♀️

Hi guys,
Over the past 2 months you have seen me rave on about how much I adore serum foundations. I love the finish, the lightweight formula and skin like finish however one thing I hate are the applicators!
I have 2 different serum foundations as you can see above and those droplet applicators never work for me, they always get stuck or apply way too much product. So I decided to browse Tik Tok and see what solutions people are coming up with for problems like these. Turns out there are lots of people who love makeup products but aren't fans of the applicators so they recommended changing the applicators.
When I saw people linking Amazon foundation pumps in their tutorials it kinda blew my mind because I didn't think about looking on Amazon of all places and yet they had exactly what I needed. So I decided to order the Rose Gold Foundation Pumps on Amazon , (£3.29 each) and give them a go. Luckily they were super easy to swap out and honestly don't look too out of place with the original packaging. The pumps are so much better because they are really affordable and now I get the right amount of product so I'm not wasting makeup.
So moral of the story if you love your foundation but hate the applicator have a browse on Amazon so see what suits you better! Now I'm swapped over, it's easier for me day to day. As always all products mentioned in my blog post are linked above!
Lots of love

It's never too late to spring clean your skin! Spring is the season for cleaning, but have you ever thought about giving your skin a Spring clean too? Here are a few tips to get you on your way to beautiful, healthy skin this Spring:
💚Exfoliate your skin and get rid of that dull and dry layer of skin from the enduring Winter (our Exfoliating Crystals are perfect for this!) 💚Start using a lighter moisturiser - try our Ultra Hydrating Moisturiser or Lightweight Daily Moisturiser 💚Wear sunscreen - every. single. day…even on the cloudy days (that's why we stock Avocado Zinc) 💚Eat more fresh fruit and veggie intake - they are extra delicious at this time of the year 💚Keep hydrated - this is an all year round thing, but even more important as the weather starts warming up (why not sneak some Collagen Beauty™ - Lemon Lime into your water for delicious refreshing hydration) 💚Get your work out routine back on track - get that heart rate going and increase your blood flow 💚Clean out your make up drawer! Replace all your old makeup with fresh, new @runwayroom makeup (especially mascara cos it needs to be replaced regularly)
Enjoy your glow ✨💚🌸

I curse my ancestors daily because of my dry-ass skin but at least I can get the Fenty Beauty Profilt'r Hydrating Foundation at €16 instead of the original €47 on their site because everyone else buys the matte one
