Terd, according to Norm from TOH, "use a sealer primer to fill in porous bare wood and cover knots and stains; a tinted primer to reduce the number of dark-colored finish coats; and an all-in-one primer paint to speed up general painting." So, for your skin tone, I'd suggest all-in-one.

Mornin' Mac and LZ!

More Slagascopes are in progress.


ETA:

Scorpio: This week will be teeming with activity. While it may pass quickly, don't forget to stop and appreciate the little joys. Take extra time for personal relationships even if you're tired this week. Outlook: Bountiful!

Taurus: You've got a lot on your plate lately and have been neglecting your own needs. This week, take some time for yourself, whether to rest or for something fun. Outlook: Revivifying!

Gemini: Reevaluate what's upsetting you as of late. Try to remember what's really important and not to get caught up on little things. If you focus more on the big picture, you may start to find joys you were previously overlooking. Outlook: Stunning!

Morning again all.

I’m not. And I don’t want to get used to it.

We need more

I find that when you’re buying a new foundation, test a few shades in natural light, then squint. The color that disappears when you squint is your match.

Also, you don’t want your face darker than your neck — test shades around your jawline, or dust bronzer on your neck to even everything out

You should always buy a foundation in two shades: one for imperfections and a lighter shade to highlight your chin, cheekbones, and the bridge of your nose, if you can’t find a perfect shade, buy one that’s slightly darker than your skin and one that’s slightly lighter, then fine-tune the color yourself

I like to apply foundation with my hands to help warm it up, press it into the skin and into the contours of the skin. I usually go in outward, circular motions. Then, I fine-tune any additional blending with a clean foundation brush


Last but not least....

The secret is in the prep. In order to achieve a glowy look, start with your skin-care routine. I like to use a face oil before I prime the skin, and then I follow with foundation

I hope these tip are helpful and as always,

I hope you all are well

Got her moved in, went to the grocery store and got her loaded down, then drove to BR. The drive was rough but it was good to see the family.

Nvm. Saw the post

That's good advice.

My routine for getting ready to go out: Have at least one trashily overfilled glass of wine before getting ready... Stand 5 feet from mirror and apply all the stuff*. Leave house.

*If your bathroom isn't large enough to stand 5 feet from the mirror, just remove contact lenses for similar effect.

What did you say then erase?
