I'm looking to buy some new makeup and get a bit of advice there. I'm 27 and have quite bad skin at the moment (pregnancy related), but generally have a bit of scarring and redness from teenage acne. My skin is my main concern. I currently don't wear much makeup at all but want to look more put together and feel more confident. I wear ester lauder double wear for a night out and sometimes wear lily lolo powder foundation during the day. The ester lauder is too thick for daytime wear and eventually settles into lines and pores etc and the powder foundation doesn't give enough coverage over my redness,so my skin looks kind of ruddy and unclear. Any foundation I wear seems to highlight flaky skin on and around my nose. I exfoliate but it is still always there, despite my skin being far more oily than dry. I just want to look healthy and pretty. Which counter should I go to? Do you have to book ahead? Is there any obligation to buy the products they use on you? I find many of the women at makeup counters to be intimidating and have occasionally felt sneered at cos I usually look such a mess!
