Hi there!
I have never been a person whom was good with makeup- I either wore none at all, or I'd wear flamboyant emo cosmetics. I always found it a hassle, due to my sensitive skin, my thin lips, and my very pale complexion.
However, I didn't think much of it during my high school years, but now that I have graduated and my style has evolved into preppy-emo, I would like to wear cosmetics properly. I tend to wear things like skinny jeans, plaid, polos, black vests, Converse, band tees, silver bangles, horizontal stripes- frequently in pink, turquoise, white, and black, as these are my favourite colours, and I like how they mix together. I find pink also highlights some glow in my pale complexion.
My features (Listing in case that could help with suggestions):
Thin face
Pale skin
Combination, sensitive skin
Long lashes, but sparse
Thin lips
Large, Green-Hazel eyes (my favourite facial feature, in all honesty)
Glasses
Bangs covering the right side of my forehead
Side parting
Brown-black hair
What I Wish To Accomplish:
I'd like to be able to bring out my eyes and give my dead skintone some liveliness, whilst still looking natural. I'd possibly like to find a way to make my lips more noticeable, as they are very thin.
My concerns:
My skin is oily and sensitive- I break out in rashes from overly-perfumed things. I can tolerate softly scented things. (Think Love's Baby Soft)
I have to wear sunscreen quite often (SPF 60), as I burn easily and melanoma runs in my family. Is there any cosmetics I can use that won't hinder/be wrecked by the sunscreen?
I do have allergies to bananas, and possibly avocado, so I wish to avoid products/facials that use these. (People with banana allergies occasionally have an intolerance to avocado, as they are both "latex fruit," she I avoid avocado in prevention).
I have an eye condition that can be irritated my using "heavier" eye products.
I am a low-maintenance person in terms of presentation, so I'd like tips that are easy-to-use.
I truly appreciate any tips or comments anyone has to say~!
