Talk to me about your skin care and makeup. I have fairly light skin but if I was to sit in the sun it would eventually go quite dark, but uneven, have to use a very high SPF. My skin is uneven when pale, can anyone recommend any products to help make it more even?
My next problem is foundation, nothing matches very well, have used most brands even the more expensive ones, Chanel, bobbi brown, dior, Lancôme, Clinique, bare minerals etc. I like to wear minimal makeup and look natural, tinted moisturisers and bb creams look better and I can get a better match but they don't give the coverage I need, if I add a concealer, that never matches. When I go to the counters the ladies seem to have trouble matching me too. So if I can get my skin more even coloured in the first place less makeup will be needed, fake tan doesn't work either because it darkens the dark patches too. Oh and to top it off I have very very dark circles, at least a couple of times a week people will comment. For info my grandad is Indian, and my nan is white, my mum and brother have much much darker skin than me, they don't have uneven skin tone and nor do my aunties, they are a lovely colour. Thank you in advance for any replies.
