Guest guest Posted March 29, 2000 Report Share Posted March 29, 2000 I just wanted to share an experience I had today with all of you. Those who suffer with more red than anything else will understand. I went shopping today and decided to try to buy some cover-up make up. Something I'd never done before in my life. I'm 42 a mother of 2 and never wore any kind of face makeup ever. Well I went over to the Lancome counter at the department store and told the woman " I have cea and I need something to cover up all this redness. " She was the most understanding woman I had ever met and took me to the stool and proceeded to cover up my redness with her product. She commented on how beautiful my skin was in regards to smoothness and I shouldn't worry about the redness. Well when she was finished. I couldn't believe it... I looked like that woman I use to look like 4 years ago. I wanted to cry; but people in the store would have thought I was crazy. No red... (although I felt as red as a beet) I can't believe I feel this good with alittle cover up. I totally recommend to everyone that they go and have someone (professional) help them with a cover-up of some kind; whether it be Clinique or Lancome or whatever. It brought me up so high I can't even explain.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 You don't get the benefit of personal attention or suggestions, but that's one of the reasons why these sites are so popular: http://www.eve.com http://www.sephora.com C wrote: > Hey > > Glad you found out about the benefits of makeup.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 <<I wish us guys could go up to those counters as easy as you ladies can.>> I have had similar reservations. However, I just go up and buy; they probably assume it's for my wife. I have found that I can kill two birds with one stone (no offense, vegetarians) by using a moisturizing physical sunblock which my skin " likes " , and tinting it to match my own skin color, using SPF-15 concealer as a tint. I put the sunscreen and tint into a small bottle with just a little water, and shake it up. I add tint until the color is close; it doesn't have to be exact. Then I lay it on fairly thick when I apply it. This way any redness is covered, my skin is moisturized, and I have the sunscreen protection. (Make that 3 birds.) The sunblock I currently use is oil-free " Biosun Faces " which contains Titanium Dioxide as the primary agent. I purchase it at Walgreens. Works like a charm, for me anyway.
