My skin tone, skin type, etc

Saturday 3 June 2017

If you are interested about the beauty products I use then this post is for you. This will give you an idea and further insight when I use, review or recommend a product but remember everyone is different and unique in their own ways.


SKIN TONE

I belong to the NC25 family of MAC shades! Going in to more detail, I say my skin colour is medium with a cool, pinkish undertone though I don't get the typical Asian flush. The foundation I am using right now is the Bourjois Healthy Mix in the shade '#53 light beige'. Wherever I go to find another foundation, they would always recommend me a foundation shade with the word "beige" on it.

FACIAL SKIN TYPE

I am a combination of oily and dry. Though the only dry parts are my forehead area and the side of my nose. Anywhere else seems to be oily.

FACIAL SKIN CONCERNS

The most concerning for me is my sensitivity, as I mentioned on 20 facts about me, I have a skin disorder where when you scratch my skin, it swells and bloats up. It affects every skin area of my body so I try my best not to scratch when putting make up on or I have to go outside looking like a puff fish. I also get redness around my nose area or when I scratch my face, the bloated part turns read.

BODY SKIN CONCERNS

I obviously have stretch marks and cellulite but that does not concern me or it concerns me that it concerns anyone. If my facial skin is oily, my body skin is dry. Even after I get out of the shower and dry myself, my skin would already be dry and flaky then.

FACE SHAPE

So my face shape is a heart. ANYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO HIGHLIGHT, CONTOUR AND BLUSH A HEART-SHAPED FACE PROPERLY, LET ME KNOW BELOW! I'm still learning.

EYE AND HAIR COLOUR

My eyes are dark brown. It is not completely black, I know that because I can see my pupil clearly when I look at the mirror or take a selfie despite my blurry vision. My natural hair colour is black but I dye it now and then.

LASH TYPE

I am blessed with long lashes but it does not curve up, it's just straight. So even though it's long, you can't see when I'm facing you but you can clearly see it on my side profile.

EYE CONCERNS

I get puffy eyes in the morning and I have to wait hours for it to calm down before I can put make up on. Of course, I have dark circles too - I blame Korean dramas!

HAIR TYPE

Since it has been through a lot of chemicals - hair rebonding, cellophane, hair dyeing, I curl and straighten it myself - my hair has turned dry and I guess the bottom third is damaged and dead now. But my roots are healthy and shiny because that's the only untouched part. The thing I love about my hair is that it is voluminous and that it does not get greasy very fast. So I can rock a 5-day no wash hair and no one would know.


HEALTH

I think I have to include this since this is important and a root to some causes. I am lazy lol, I do little to no exercise. I don't mind walking if I'm bringing something light. But running is a no. As for diet, no special diet. I eat two big meals a day most of the time and small snacks in between if I get hungry. I am also lactose intolerant so I don't drink milk and I replace it with soya or almond milk.


That's all I can think of at this moment. If I didn't cover a part or question you have in mind, let me know in the comments below and I'll reply to them asap.
