Makeup advice

[silverretrieve]

I’m dealing with a skin problem on my neck (result of pre-diabetes maybe).

My foundation matches my face and body. But it looks like I’m wearing a foundation that’s too light if my chest or arms are covered, as dark sides of my neck contrast my face.

Any advice? I have an important meeting next week at work and think it looks quite noticeable when wearing a blouse so I’m not sure how to approach it.

I have no idea what you mean, can’t see anything that seems abnormal and I can only assume no one’s going to be focused on your neck?
Would a dermatologist help long term if this is bothering you?

I've re read your post a few times and I don't know what you mean. Your pic looks fine.

It’s those dark lines on the side of my neck. It’s not a shadow, my skin is just darker there. I have been to a dermatologist, who diagnosed me with this:

You're obviously self-conscious about it, but it's not as noticeable as you might think. Stick to foundation the correct colour for your face. You could try a scar cover make-up on your neck, but I think you'll just add to the time it takes you to get ready and you'll feel even more self-conscious if you've rushed or you can't get it right.

Thanks! I am self conscious as my skin used to be clear! Dermatologist recommended dietary changes and moisturiser with steroid cream, so hopefully it will reduce in time.
