Face of the Day, Tuesday 4/15

Skin Condition in AM: Normal
Makeup Condition in PM: Dry Patches on Chin

Observations and Additional Information:
I keep trying different applications for the Etude BB Cream hoping to find that magical combo. (I outlined the different ones I've tried in my review.)

Today I used a primer on my eyes hoping to avoid the fallout I saw yesterday - not sure it worked; I still had raccoon eyes at the end of the day. I used light moisturizer, applied the BB Cream (just 1 pump) and then set everything with the powder. I also used the setting spray to add back some of the dewiness I lost when applying the powder. Can't tell if that was a mistake or not - but I know something was off when I looked in the mirror upon returning to my car late this afternoon.

It was a flake-fest of epic proportions on my chin. That being said, I am thinking this has more to do with the Differin than it does the makeup application. Still, though, I'll probably go back to the first day's method tomorrow.

The other thing I'm not wild about is the number my glasses are doing on my foundation (and I don't think it's a product issue as this has been happening for weeks). It's like the base is pooling on my nose under where the glasses rest. I'm going to have to start carrying a compact, aren't I? Lookit who's all grown up.

Left: Before work; Middle: Chin at the end of the work day; Right: Face at the end of the work day.
You can somewhat see what's happening under my glasses on my nose.
I totally took my glasses off in a meeting today too. Rats.
