Foundation and facial fuzz!!

SunshineofRay · 20/06/2014 13:17

Have bought a lovely foundation from mac, looks lovely on my skin without being too heavy but seems to highlight hairs I didn't even know I had (end of the nose anyone!?) it also seems to highlight the hair on the top of my lip moustache
Any tips?

Sorry, no tips, but have the same problem, so tend not to wear foundation for that reason. Watching with interest ...

Same problem here. And how does anyone manage to avoid getting cream foundation in their eyebrows? I usually have to scrub it out with the nail brush & re-do one side! (am new at this cream foundation stuff, can you tell!) BlushGrin

Wayne Goss has a video on 'peach fuzz' facial hair & applying foundation. If you search it on YouTube it'll come up, I have that peach fuzz on my forehead - above & between my eyebrows, I get it threaded every 4-6 weeks & I find my make-up looks unbelievably different!
I also get my moustache done!

Believe it or not, I'm not a hairy person at all....

I'm too scared to get my lip hair threaded as I always get little spots when I have my eyebrows done!
I don't use primer....could that be the key? I heard about lanacane but I have combination skin and the reviews weren't good for oily types

I worked my way through a few different foundations to find one that doesn't do this... And a good stipple brush plus a bit of judicious blending with fingers helps too.

You need to buy an epistick to get rid of the fuzz they cost about £1. Seriously I don't know what I did before I had one - you just run it over your face every other day. I won't lie, the first time is painful but if you can do that, the maintenance is a breeze
