Im not very positive about myself. If im at the mall with my best friend or something (shes SUPER pretty) and guys are like all over her I feel really bad. I try everything to make myself prettier. I have some acne and im really skinny but not aneroxic. Im going up to west virgina to see this guy next week.. What can I do to make myself more prettier?
First off, focus on your acne. If you are having break-outs use Clean & Clear Face Scrub at night to scrub away dead skin cells that make your skin look dull. Then apply a masque, try Queen Helene's Mint Masque, only on each of the pimples on your face. This will dry out the pimple so only apply it to the pimples, NOT your whole face or your face will be really dry in the morning. Keep continuing this daily routine at night and you will see dramatic results. If your skin is dry and doesn't get oily then you shouldn't use the Masque method. Instead of using a masque at night, apply a blemish/acne medication that moisturizes, like Clean and Clear Invisible Blemish Treatment. It contains salicylic acid which will fight break-outs while you sleep. When you wake up in the morning wash your face with a gentle wash and scrub, and DO NOT apply a facial moisturizer to your face after you wash it if you have oily skin. That will make it even worse! Only use a facial moisturizer if your skin is dry. After washing your face apply a thin layer of foundation (Cover Girl Tru-Blend is perfect. It has 24 different shades so you can find the perfect match to your skin color). If your skin is oily use a powder foundation. If your skin is dry use liquid foundation. If you have combination skin, use liquid first then lightly apply powder after it and gently rub in. Next apply a concealor to any zits that are still visible. I would try a concealor stick, because liquid concealor rubs off easily and doesn't cover as well. You can also use concealor for under-eye to help brighten your eyes. Dab one or two dots under your eyes and everywhere else you need to apply it and lightly rub it in. Next put on eye shadow. If your lids get really oily, try this method. First dab concealor on your lids and rub in completely. This sets as a base so your eyeshadow stays on longer. Next apply your eyeshadow. I would try Maybelline Cool Effect Eyeshadow Sticks, because it comes in many colors and stays on tremendously long. Pick your shade of eyeshadow depending on your outfit. If you like pastels, pick out a pastel colored eyeshadow that will match your outfit. Remember if you have fair skin, NEVER go for dark colored eyeshadow. It only makes your skin look more pale. If your cheeks are naturally pink, DO NOT use blush. If they aren't naturally pink then try something subtle, like a powder bronzer. This will brighten up your face. Try Bonnebell Glimmer Bronzer. Shake the powder onto the lid then pour it back into the container. Then dab your finger over the lid and put one or two dots of the shimmer on the apples of your cheeks. Then gently rub in. To make your eyes stand out even more use eyeliner. I would go for an eyeliner that is waterproof. Try using Revlon 16-hour Stay Eyeliner in Ivory. It goes on smooth and lasts really long. Apply the eyeliner on your lower lid only. Putting eyeliner all the way around your eye will accent them WAY too much and will make you look overdone. After applying eyeliner move on to mascara. Try Maybelline Blackest of Black. It doesn't clump or smudge. Try practicing your new style and routine of make-up ahead of time that way you can get used to the new methods. I hope this helps. If you need any more advice you can ask me anytime. Good luck! Remember you are beautiful no matter how you look on the outside, so just be yourself and you will be just fine. ~Sherah
