Hello everyone,
I am new here and I am hoping for some advice. While I have got pretty good at making my makeup look the way I want it to, I like full coverage for most days but still pretty natural looking, I tend to get pretty tan in the sumer but always wear a strong sunblock on my face so it is usually several shades lighter than the rest of me. I can match the shade pretty close by blending colors of makeup and get the look I want.
Now on to the problem, once I get the look how do I keep it? As long as I don't touch, rub, eat or brush my teeth I am fine but this is very limiting. I have very dry skin so putting powder over the top makes me look awful and I have broken myself of the habit of rubbing my face but I still can't control other people. My husband for example, the most heavy handed person I know seems to wait till I am in full makeup ready to go somewhere, then decide to tell me how pretty I look and proceed to run his hand across my face taking half my makeup with it, this makes me furious and I do feel bad yelling at him but what the hell?
As if hugging wasn't a big enough problem now this. There are several other male friends of mine that do the same thing, either they grab your face, rub your face or touch your nose. I don't understand men at all its like "its so perfect let me mess it up"
Anyway, if you have read this far thank you for listening and please help, what can I use to seal it on or what kind of makeup won't rub off? Please don't say airbrush cause I got one of those Dinair systems and by the time I got full coverage with it I had inhailed so much stuff I was woozy, plus, it wipes right off. I suppose the silicone makeup would be a little better with it but still not worth the damage to my lungs and eyes.
Any suggestios?
