YES! My derm said I could wear makeup. Possibly because she was tired of my woebegone expression. You have no idea how thrilled I am; I have been in exile since December. Antibiotics end on March 3 (subject to review) and my topical regimen is also expected to continue till then. And there is visible improvement - mostly hyperpigmentation left, with 3-4 active spots.
I picked a foundation with full coverage for my first "outing" of 2016. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation was among my favourite foundations of 2015 - see list here. I'll swatch and review it soon. The rest of my look was basic and quick - nothing fancy.
Scroll down for an everyday makeup look I did to celebrate.
Things are by no means near normal yet. If you look closely enough, particularly at the forehead, you can see the skin texture is not smooth. You can also see those pinheads on the cheeks. There used to be a few bazillion of the things. And beneath all the foundation still lies a horror story.
Products used:
Face
Dr Brandt Pores No More PrimerCharlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation - review coming soon.
Bourjois Java Rice Illuminating Powder - seriously, why isn't this stuff more famous? Crazy good stuff! It singlehandedly pulled together this look and replaced blush and bronzer.
So Susan Wonderlight Illuminator - only a smidgen. The last thing I want is to draw attention to the problems.
Eyes
theBalm Put A Lid On It primer - Kat von D High Voltage has spoilt me. No other primer floats my boat these days.I talked about eyeshadow crayons a couple of days ago - see here for the post. For this look, I used Nudestix Gilt and Laura Mercier Caviar Shadow Stick in Rosegold.
