My Make-Up Routine

-

Before I became poorly my normal make-up, routine consisted of foundation, eyebrows, eye liner and mascara.  Occasionally I would wear eyeshadow.

I stopped wearing make-up while I was at my worst with depression- what was the point as I didn’t leave the house unless my hubby and sons were with me.  I used make-up as a mask to make me feel better.  My family knew if it was a good day or a bad day if I was wearing make-up or not.

Yes, I still wear make-up to make me feel more confident, I look forward to taking it off at night.  Thanks to a Christmas present last year (Lisa Potter Dixon’s Easy on the Eye book) I am getting my confidence back wearing eyeshadow.

As I experiment with different make-up products I will post how I get on with them.

Hair Syrup Rapunzel

 I found this brand on TikTok and am so glad I did.  Why? I am trying to grow my hair long and embracing the grey.  I noticed that I did not clog up the plug hole in the shower when I used this and my hair health improved immensely.  I apply it all over my hair and scalp then cover it in a shower cap upto two hours before washing my hair.  It has a lovely citrusy grapefruit smell. If only I could find a shampoo and conditioner that smelled this good I would buy it by the bucket load.

  I like to add one drop to a basic moisturizer and apply it with a brush to create definition and contour. This has been the best product I have used in this way as I am able to control depth of colour and where I want more definition. In the summer I might increase to two drops.

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water

Bottle of Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water My hubby and I have been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, he had read an article in a newspaper and wanted to try it.  This has a fresh smell and both of us like it.  It cleanses the skin well and copes brilliantly with Benefit Roller Lash, it removes it without much rubbing.  I would hold the cotton pad to my eye for a few seconds before gently swiping it away.  There is no residue or stickiness, the fragrance doesn’t last long on the skin once the water is swiped over the skin.  We use both sides of the cotton pad remembering to wipe behind our ears.  Think we will be buying more of it and other products from their range.
