Thankful. Part 3.
I've been breaking out like a teenager all of a sudden. What's going on? It's so annoying, this is not supposed to happen.
So I'm thankful for green concealer to neutralize red tones on the face. I always thought it was weird, after all, it's GREEN... but decided to try it anyway. Whoever came up with this is a smarty. If only I'd unconsciously stop touching my face so much and wipe it all off.
Anyway, I'm so glad I'm a girl. But maybe if I wasn't a girl, I wouldn't be as vain?
Check out this color wheel. I knew there was regular yellow based concealer, and green...but there's also a purple one. Interesting. It's really like painting your face.
Yellow: Conceal bluish bruises, under-eye circle and mild red tones on the face
Purple: Normalize yellow-colored imperfections such as sallow complexions and yellow bruises. Can also help conceal very dark under-eye circles and dark spots on bronze skin tones.
Green: Neutralize red tones on the skin. Covering blemishes, red blotches, rosacea, port-wine stains.
I wonder what I'd do if I was Elphaba from Wicked and wanted to neutralize my skin? I guess I'd use red concealer? But green skin + red concealer = neutral = grey? Well, but then to think again, she'd probably just use thick green concealer. And then put green foundation on that matches her skin tone. Yeah, that sounds right! Green witches need to market their own makeup line. "Bewitching."
(Oh. My. Goodness. I can't believe I wasted my brain cells contemplating that just now.)
Well... I'm thankful I'm a human with regular colored skin.

cosmetology!
it's not a waste of brain cells! some people make a living playing with makeup! i love it! like art! yay!
awww! I had a terrible breakout for almost half a year earlier this year - it was unreal. I finally had to get topical and oral meds from the dermatologist and thankfully that solved the problem! I'm a huge fan of the green concealer.
If you need any acne-fighting face wash, I have lots of extra!
very interesting stuff! i notice i break out a lot more now than when i did before. it's like returning back to puberty.
I forgot my undereye concealer this morning while I was in a hurry. I look awful today.
wow, so informative! and cute post! what would pooh use for concealer? teehee
oooh interesting and very informative.
wow you know your colors well. =D yup, the eye patch is for keeping night vision in that eye! I thought that was pretty neat.
i've been breaking out recently too!! i can't figure out why either! it's sooo annoying!
i didn't break out until i was 25,not at tee. i hate those red bumps on the face. the Almays concealer with aloe worked great for me but they stopped making it. i was so sad
After i got pregnant my skin clear right up...strange huh? your body is saying you should have baby or you get pimples all over.
