Ask The CI: Why is your face so red? Why are you so embarassed?

My sister and my aunt are the askers on this one, and as someone who has tried to make their skin not red I am at a bit of an impasse. I have tried and failed with you hookers before, but I have found some new shit that also should be tried.



My friend Violet says Clinique Instant Relief Mineral Powder is awesome! And it's Mineral. Look at me recommending a mineral powder!


Use it after Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream  or for Mollie who has wicked out-in-the-sun-all-the-time issues Clinique Redness Solution Daily Protective Base SPF 15.

The other thing I should probably mention is The Dermatologist. Roseacea is a tough nut to crack, but there are really nice prescription products like Metro Gel that people swear by!

Sensitive little flowers and tiny lashed ladies....

My mom has three eyelashes. Seriously. You can't eff around with ladies who have a hard time with mascara. The best stuff will clump and mess on these girls. These two won't. Great also for people who are allergic or sensitive. Don't worry Mom, your secret is safe with me and my 17 readers.

I'm gelling. Are you gelling?

 I don't know why I believe this to be true, but if you have dark circles, a gel texture eye treatment is best. I usually have some line of scientific bullshit to back this up, but this time I have nowhere to hide. I like the texture, and I feel like it gets deeper into the skin and really pushes all that pooled blood out from underneath your eye. These are some of the ones I've tried.

Oh God. My Friend Violet insists this is the only eyeliner you need.

Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Caviar. That's right. A powder as a eyeliner. Wet or dry.



Come to find out, these shadows were actually formulated to be liners. which is why they are hard to blend. In my mind, all dark shadows could fit the bill, but an expert friend gave me stink eye when I said that. Bobbi really made them this way.

I think all liners should be finished with a swipe of dark shadow but I rarely use them by themselves. Like I love Clinique Quickliner for Eyes which has liner and then a shadow smudger on the other end. Awesome.

Also Bobbi's color Caviar is awesome and can be purchased as a pencil, a shadow, and a gel liner.

Fine, Violet. Happy?
