Am I the only one...

... whose face has a different colour from the neck?
To be more precise, my face is pink-toned (there's probably also some redness, but the skin itself is rather cool-toned, too), whereas my neck is more neutral-to-yellow.
If I put on yellow make-up, though, it looks weird, too.

Plus, my hair is a warm golden-brown, which clashes with my face quite nicely, and I have not yet managed to get rid of the warm hues.

Very, very strange. :/

    Seems like I'm exactly the same type xDDD
    Pale face with warm (!!!) freckles; yellow toned neck; golden brown hair.. xD I think we're olives. I can wear nearly every shade of greeen (exept yellowish lime!), brown and taupe.

    Warm colours I like:
    petrol, olive, camel, bronze

    Cold colours I love:
    green, burgundy, violet, grey

    I don't feel well with black, orange, classic red, lilac and pink.....

      I'm not sure, to be honest. It's only my neck that's yellow for some reason (and hasn't always been), the rest is quite pink, and I don't have freckles either. I never tan, too.
      There are quite some colours I cannot wear, but some I can despite my pinkish skin, so I've always assumed I was neutral, sometimes changing colours I can wear when I changed my hair colour.
      For example, even with the golden hair now, I cannot wear olive or bronze. Grey is too cool for me, though. I'm just right in the middle.

      Hm, seems like I have to give my hair an ashy dye and hide my neck. xDDD

      xDDDD I also do not tan at all. I become red after staying 4 days over 6 hours in the sun, otherwise not... Well, then... Wear colours you like :)

Green-tinted sunscreens - a comparison

Image
 I know I have not posted anything in years, because I was busy and because I started mostly exchanging beauty information with people on Reddit, but this seemed like the easiest format for this sunscreen comparison. For those who are new here, or have forgotten who I am (I wouldn't blame you), I am very pale (I wear Pale in Nyx) with a neutral undertone, but a lot of redness in my face, while my neck is more olive-toned. (I match foundation to my neck, not my chest, because I don't often expose the latter. for various reasons.) Green-toned sunscreens have intrigued me from the moment I first saw one - after all, I wear sunscreen every day, so why not use it to color-correct? Turns out, it's not that easy. Most of us know by now that sunscreen needs to be applied in generous amounts to actually protect us, but some of the sunscreens I tested made that pretty hard. If I applied too much at once, they got patchy and streaky , but if I tried to apply them in two or three layer...

Share: Do you have any skin allergies?

Luckily, I don't have any (known) food allergies, nor do I suffer from hay fever or the likes. I am, however, very sensitive to skin care and make-up ingredients, it seems. During my four weeks of "holiday" between the end of the semester and the start of my internship on Tuesday, I was mostly at home, and my skin greatly improved from not wearing make-up and sunscreen all the time. Yet, when I did go out and thus put on my BB cream (I still owe you a review, I know!), I had a new breakout. :( Both my sunscreens and the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream contain zinc oxide, and I know that ParisB from mywomenstuff is, for example, sensitive to it, despite people usually claiming it to be good for the skin. So at the moment, I am testing out my skin's reaction to it. After all, it might be something else in the ingredients list, right? I also have the feeling that I get little breakouts after using Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion, so I am doing a little tri...

Skin care - about Sekkisei

As I mentioned before, I have purchased the trial set for Sekkisei (to celebrate their 25th Anniversary) last week and have been using it since then, together with another Kosé moisturizer (that smells the same as Sekkisei and is also said to have whitening effects.) I have also been using their sun lotion since late March and just started my second bottle a little while ago. When I googled for Sekkisei's ingredient's, I came across this very handy site: Sun lotion ingredients and their level of irritation and comedogenic effects I didn't get any more acne from it, as the comedogenic levels are only 2, and also no irritation despite it having some level 4 ingredients. Lucky! I also typed in the lotion and the emulsion . So far, it feels like my skin is getting better from the use of the products. My skin got some pimples, which rarely happens, but maybe that's because the cream is too thick for my oily t-zone, or maybe because both lotion and emulsion contain ...
