A Long List Of Problems [eg;i need help!]

[Tora]

Okay now this is a very long list, so my apologies in advance :]

||||Makeup||||
I've always loved experimenting with my makeup, but I would really like to find a style that wouldn't get old, compliments my eyes, and is kind of unique and a bit outrageous. Kind of the old-style punk.
if it helps any,
my eye color is green, and around my pupil its gold.
i have a heart shaped face
my hair color is black, with platinum bangs,
and i have nice sideswept bangs (those are the ones that are blonde)
carrying on....


||||Acne||||
okay, I don't know what exactly causes blackheads and whiteheads, but all I really care about knowing is how to make them go away. I get whiteheads on my chin, forehead, right underneath my eyes and on my upper lip. (I honestly can't tell if it's like hair folicles or what it is, but just saying) And I have blackheads ALL OVER my nose. Literally. And I have tried so much but it just doesn't seem to do anything. My cheeks get that kind of under-the-skin acne all the time. Proactive got rid of it a ways back, but I'm honestly a little afraid of going back to it because once you stop it comes right back. =(


||||Skin||||
My skin frequently gets this weird texture...and in my hands you can see the hair folicles, people say they don't notice, but I do and would like to do something about it. My legs, lordy don't get me started. I swear I cannot shave my legs fully-because I like to shave in the shower, and having two other people who need to shower after me, or have actually showered before me-hot water is in short supply. I tried using Veet but I have issues getting it to go on evenly, it gets everywhere and is much more trouble than it's worth. I actually have a skirt that I would like to start wearing, but shaving is really not all that appealing...carrying on. There's always these little dots and it looks like I didn't shave even though I did. And is there any way to get my legs to look a little tanner without uh tanning. It's the middle of winter in Alaska, tanning isn't that great of an idea.

OK, first the makeup, play up your best feature, if it's not your eyes don't try to get compliments there. If you have pretty shaped lips play them up with a bold color, etc. You know which one it is. Mine is my eyes, and all I do is wear a bold line of eyeliner and a good thickening mascara, and also curl my lashes.
For the blackheads, I recommend going to the dermatologist and getting DIFFERIN GEL I had blackhaeds all over my nose and they were starting to migrate to my chin and cheeks, the gel is the ONLY thing I have ever bought that worked. It takes time but the results are there.
And for the little hairs on your hands, I am in the same boat, too! I use nair on my arms and hands, even my nuckles! And it makes a big difference. I don't do it on my legs though, it never worked for me. If you are trying to save time in the shower, just shave your upper legs every other day, as the hair there is usually thinner and softer. Hope that helps!

Your style (or what it sounds like you want) would be "Scene" makeup. I have included a link, that should help you out a ton.
Scene Makeup
Applying Scene Makeup

It might not be an option, but have you thought about going on Birth Control for your acne? That helped me alot, and I also LOVE LOVE LOVE avon's "Pore Fection" line for my breakouts. My skin is clearer than it ever has been....and i too used proactiv....and it didnt work for me. For my blackheads on my nose, i use Biore Pore Strips


I wax my arms, and hands. I do not have a lot of hair, or dark hair, i just prefer it smooth. Do not ever shave your arms/hands!!! If you forget to shave one day, you will have a stubbly hand.

If you have any more questions or clarifications, let me know!

Have you tried waxing your legs? Or getting them done proffessionally? It's not too expensive, and although it hurts it's worth it, as you don't have to get them re-waxed for a good few weeks afterwards

Nose blackheads: Wash with a really good cleansing gel or bar that lathers, with a facial brush. DOn't be harsh on your nose but rather thorough, work in the lather in circular motions for a minute or so. Of couyrse you will also wash the rest of your face, but where there's blackheads, be really thorough! Morning and evening. Follow up with whatever your skincare brand recommends. Good luck!
