hair and makeup recommendations for 2019

I want to improve my hair style and skin for 2019 and need some recommendations as what I try so far makes no difference.

My hair is always frizzy or what my mum calls 'airplane wings' no matter what spray I put on it, what shampoo I use, straighteners, blow drying, or just leaving to dry au natural - it always ends up in this awful sticky out style. So I need tips on what works for you to get that sleek straight look but without spending a fortune (I don't want a Brazilian blow dry)

Also I get lots of breakouts and have scars from teen acne. I need foundation recommendations that cover the lot without being obvious I have make up on. I don't want to put lots of layers on, nor do I have the time to spend on application. I need good coverage though. I have tried bare minerals, clinique, benefit and lancome double wear so far but the coverage is not good enough.

Recommendations appreciated please

Do you go to the hairdressers? I'd find a good one that can help you find a style to help you with your hair. With the make up I find good coverage starts with good skin, so maybe invest in some good quality products and get into a routine with that. I use Tropic stuff, it's lovely and all natural x

my advice would be either getting your hair cut and go with the curl OR get a Brazilian blow dry and add a weave to it. The weight of the weave will keep it down and stop it from sticking out. Straighteners will blend your own hair into the weave. As for your skin I'm not so sure but would suggest a healthier diet - starting with lots of water - and cut down dairy.
